In Tiantang City, none of Yun Yang's friends and family could be this man's opponent. If he was able to escape from this battle, he would kill everyone related to him in the future, and there would be no chance of him getting away with it!
What was more, the entire Empire of Yutang might even crumble and crumble under this person's counterattack!
Yun Yang had never doubted Mr. Nian's intelligence and ability. They were the cream of the crop, the best in the world!
Perhaps, compared to Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Jue, the Unrivaled Expert of the previous two generations, Mr. Nian was the true Unrivaled Expert!
"Since Lord Supreme Cloud's intention is to eliminate the root of the problem, why ask me if I'm going to fight or not? Isn't it an unnecessary question?"
Mr. Nian's eyes were gleaming with deep hatred. "To me, even if Lord Supreme Cloud is willing to stop now and turn hostility into friendship, it's impossible!"
He pointed and said through gritted teeth, "The blood feud of Supreme Cloud's brothers has always haunted us, but today, the corpses of our Four Seasons Tower brothers are still lying in the wilderness! Their blood hasn't dried yet, their eyes are still on me! "
"If I don't avenge this, how can I continue to lead the Four Seasons Tower?"
Yun Yang said faintly, "What do you intend to do by coming here now? Issue a challenge? Or perhaps you're here to tell me this? "
"The martial world's battles are fought to the death. This is a matter of course, there's nothing wrong with it. Being killed because one is weaker than the other is the ultimate fate of martial artists. There's nothing much to say. "
Mr. Nian said, "But, so many years of brothers …"
He paused for a moment, and his voice was somewhat choked with emotion. However, he immediately restrained himself, raised his head, looked at the sky, and said unhurriedly, "After several springs and autumns, after several storms, thinking back on the years, these brothers of mine, the one who has spent the least time with me has already been with me for 1200 years …"
"Among them, the Four Seasons Messenger and I first met … it was more than three thousand years ago …"
"Now, they've died in battle, but I'm still alive. Perhaps I'll die soon, too, but as long as there's someone from the Four Seasons Tower still alive, I won't allow my brothers' corpses to be left lying in the wilderness! "
Yun Yang was hit with a sudden realization. "You're here to collect their corpses? Let them die in peace? "
Mr. Nian said darkly, "That's right. Since we are brothers, I have to collect their corpses no matter what. Besides, I have to take back the God's Bone! "
"God's Bone …" Yun Yang pondered with a frown, a thought suddenly appearing in his mind.
Mr. Nian said in a low voice, "I will bury them as soon as possible. Tomorrow at dawn, you and I shall fight to the death and end this war once and for all!" He chuckled forlornly, "I don't think Lord Supreme Cloud will be so stingy as to not give me this little time, will you?"
Yun Yang said faintly, "You can still bury them today, but I wonder who will bury you when you die here in the future?"
Mr. Nian smiled and said, "I believe that Lord Supreme Cloud will not leave my corpse lying in the wilderness."
Yun Yang was silent for a moment.
However, from a rational point of view, his instincts told him that he could not allow Mr. Nian to retrieve the corpses. A cultivator's instinct for danger reminded him that doing so would put him in grave danger.
In spite of this, Mr. Nian's request was fair and reasonable. It was hard to refuse.
Even when the two armies were at war and would not rest until one side was dead, the corpses of the other side's warriors should be left for the other side to collect!
The dead were the most important. Burying them in peace was human nature since the beginning of time. It was also the most basic rule in this world!
Ji Lingxi looked at Yun Yang, who had sunk into silence, in confusion.
To her, this was not a big deal. The enemy's request to collect the corpses of the deceased before the final battle was a very reasonable thing to do. After all, they had thousands of years of friendship.
Why was Yun Yang hesitating? He had never been a heartless person.
Yun Yang was silent for a moment before he said, "Sir Nian's request is reasonable and reasonable. Before the battle of life and death, you have to first complete the funeral arrangements of your deceased brothers. I am impressed as well. However, regarding your request, I have a condition as well."
The glint in Mr. Nian's eyes flickered as he asked, "May I ask what the condition is?"
Yun Yang said slowly, "I want to keep a few pieces of God's Bones from the deceased. I believe Sir Nian won't mind."
Mr. Nian lifted his head abruptly and looked at Yun Yang. His eyes narrowed dangerously. "Lord Supreme Cloud's condition is reasonable according to common sense. They died in Supreme Cloud's hands, so all their belongings should be Supreme Cloud's spoils of war. There's nothing wrong with that. However, God's Bones being embedded in the body isn't simply embedding. It's completely connected to the flesh and blood. If Supreme Cloud were to keep a few pieces, how would that be any different from desecrating the corpses of the deceased?"
"Besides, God's Bones are unique to the Four Seasons Tower. They shouldn't have anything to do with you, Lord Supreme Cloud. Why are you making things difficult for me, Lord Supreme Cloud?"
Yun Yang said, "I'm only saying this out of curiosity. I just want to see what's so special about God's Bones. The battle has ended just now, and the corpses are already lying by the side. I actually forgot to collect them. I don't know if this is a mistake or the will of heaven. "
He was saying this to tell Mr. Nian clearly, 'If I really wanted them, I would have collected them all before you came.'
Mr. Nian was silent for a moment before he said, "If Lord Supreme Cloud insists on collecting them, then please collect a few pieces yourself. I'll leave them with you for now. After tomorrow's battle and I'm unfortunately defeated, all the God's Bones in this tower will be yours."
"On the other hand, if the one who dies in tomorrow's battle is Lord Supreme Cloud, then the tower's belongings will be returned to their rightful owners."
Yun Yang smiled and said, "You're open-minded, Mr. Nian. I admire you even more now."
Yun Yang had stated his condition and Mr. Nian had agreed to it. Although Yun Yang did not know the true intention behind Mr. Nian's act of collecting the corpses, at least Yun Yang had successfully interfered.
However, once Yun Yang thought of himself retrieving the God's Bones from the corpses later, he felt uncomfortable and disgusted.
Just like what Mr. Nian had said, how was this different from desecrating the dead?
It was not something that could be covered up by saying that they had different standpoints and the spoils of war!
Perhaps the Four Seasons Tower could do something like this without any burden, but Yun Yang could not do it when it was his turn.
This was probably the difference between a hero and a ruthless man!
Mr. Nian did not delay. He began to collect the corpses, storing them into his spatial ring one by one. It was obvious that Mr. Nian did not plan to bury them here. He wanted to find another place to bury them properly.
Of course, he had to collect all the God's Bones from the corpses before he buried them. This was another important point of the operation. Mr. Nian understood this, and so did Yun Yang.
