"This old official is innocent!" Qiu Jianhan was speechless. "This old official has never lied to Your Majesty … Your Majesty, this old official dares not accept this accusation."
"Old thing! You still refuse to admit your guilt? "His Majesty was obviously exasperated.
"Witness and material evidence are here!"
Qiu Jianhan was confused. "…"
"Hmph! A secret letter! A secret letter! "His Majesty stretched a hand under the old marshal's nose." Give it to me! Show it to me! Not giving it to me is a crime of deceiving the emperor! "
"What secret letter?"
"A secret letter from Tie Zheng to you! You said it yourself just now! "His Majesty's expression was ferocious with pride." I knew that you two master and disciple were in cahoots! Deceiving the emperor! "
The old marshal recalled what he had said just now. Tie Zheng's secret letter said that he felt that Supreme Wind and Flame's abilities were much weaker than before …
However, there was no mention of this in the report to His Majesty.
His expression turned bitter. "Gosh …"
…
The emperor and his official were fooling around. His Majesty knew that he had been indulging in fantasy just now. He sighed and said, "Old Qiu, what is that child from the Yun Family doing now?"
Old Marshal Qiu said, "I heard that he hasn't left the house for months, only keeping a cat at home …"
"Keeping a cat …"
His Majesty was exasperated. "This bastard!"
Old Marshal Qiu pursed his lips.
After the meeting that day, His Majesty had left in disappointment but he had sent a secret order – pay close attention to Yun Yang!
For this matter, the old marshal had sent out thirty secret agents from the Board of War. The entire Residence of Marquis Yun could be said to be watertight in all directions.
All the movements were under his watch.
"Is the Residence of Yun still as quiet as before?" His Majesty asked.
"It's alright." The old marshal chuckled humorlessly. "That steward of his was originally an expert but recently, he seemed to have a breakthrough and become stronger. And this little fellow, I don't know where, recruited another expert who's even stronger than that housekeeper … "
"I heard that it was the mystical beast battle back then …" Qiu Jianhan had already investigated this matter. After explaining it to the Emperor, even the Emperor felt that it was a little strange. "Randomly picked up a person? An expert? And from then on, you're dead set on me? "
His Majesty smacked his lips. "Such a … simple-minded and loyal man … Why can't I find him?"
The old marshal looked up at the sky.
"Almost two months ago, Marquis Yun entered the palace. We talked for a while. " His Majesty chuckled, but there was a flash of complicated light in his eyes. "I have a question for him. You have been unmarried for so many years. When did you get such a big son?"
Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan was immediately intrigued. "What did Marquis Yun say?"
"This is the sixth time I've asked him this question," His Majesty said, "Before, he always told me not to get involved in these things. But this time, his story changed. "
"He said … he won't rebel anyway, so what's the point of asking?" The king smiled bitterly.
The corners of Old Marshal Qiu's lips twitched.
There was actually someone who spoke like that.
"However, this makes me understand." His Majesty said faintly, "Yun Yang is not Marquis Yun's biological son."
Old Marshal Qiu wanted to ask, "What does this have to do with you?" Why are you so concerned?
Then, he recalled that this matter really had something to do with His Majesty. If Yun Yang was Marquis Yun's biological son, he would be of royal blood!
Luckily, he wasn't. Old Marshal Qiu was relieved.
His Majesty said, "It's always good to be careful."
"I have a feeling that the child is not as simple as he seems …" His Majesty frowned.
"I also feel that the child is not as simple as he seems …" The old marshal frowned as well.
Both the emperor and his official seemed to be deep in thought.
"The Nine Supremes' manifestation this time …" His Majesty snorted, obviously displeased with the word 'manifestation'. He said, "This child hasn't moved, has he?"
Qiu Jianhan shook his head. "He hasn't moved at all."
"…"
…
Great Young Master Yun, whom Old Marshal Qiu had said was motionless, was indeed motionless now.
At this moment, he was lying weakly on his own bed. His face was pale, and his cheeks were sunken in. He looked like a skeleton.
Yun Yang was utterly exhausted during this period of time. His mental and physical strength were completely drained.
It had been fifty consecutive days.
Yun Yang had barely closed his eyes. The Mystique Wind Conjuration was easy to cultivate, wind and cloud were one. Yun Yang had only spent ten days in the Residence of Nine Supremes to open Supreme Wind's door. He had obtained the Art of Crimson Sky.
However, when he returned home with the Art of Crimson Sky, he had Emmie's full help, two Pearls of Flood Dragon, a sea of fine jade's air essence, and Emmie's own air of vitality. He had only managed to cultivate it after eight days. Only then could he open seventh brother Supreme Blood's room.
He had obtained sixth brother's Thunder Crash Spell, but the cultivation of the Thunder Crash Spell was much more difficult than the Art of Crimson Sky. Yun Yang had cultivated the first stage without sleep or rest for twelve days, opened sixth brother's room, and obtained fifth brother's Fiery Charm.
Only then did he truly begin to cultivate in the dark.
The battle reports from the frontline were like snowflakes. Tie Zheng was obviously not Han Sanhe's opponent. Han Sanhe's military tactics were superb, already at the pinnacle of the world. Although Tie Zheng was also a peerless general, he was still far from being comparable to the God of War.
There was no telling when he would be defeated.
Yun Yang had to cultivate the first three stages of Mystique Wind Conjuration and Fiery Charm before Tie Zheng's army was defeated. This was the bare minimum!
Otherwise, it would be useless even if he went to the battlefield.
During that period of time, Yun Yang cultivated like a madman. Emmie was constantly squeezed by him, almost going on strike. The energy of the two Pearls of Flood Dragon was almost depleted.
It was only after one and a half months that Yun Yang finally broke through to the third stage of Fiery Charm.
He left his cultivation immediately and rushed to the battlefield; he had finally arrived at the critical moment!
After that, he ran back through the night. When he reached home, he laid on the bed for a few days but was still weak. The exhaustion this time made Yun Yang feel like he was on the verge of dying at any moment.
However, seeing the army celebrating in high spirits, the citizens cheering along the way, and the countless remaining soldiers returning in high spirits …
Yun Yang still felt it.
Worth it!
Worth it!
Especially when he saw Tiantang's remaining soldiers scatter outside the city yesterday, running back to their families and crying tears of joy …
Countless joyous laughter, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders …
Countless elders' wrinkled faces had been filled with worry, but when they saw their loved ones returning, they smiled from the bottom of their hearts …
Seeing these fearless men laughing heartily and raising their children high up in the air, the family seemed to be in a happy and harmonious mood.
"This is what I want to protect."
Yun Yang lay on his bed, recalling these scenes, a genuine smile on his face. He was very happy!
This was the first time Yun Yang felt the sense of fulfillment he felt after what had happened to his brothers.
"In life, there are things that one shouldn't do and things that one must do!"
"A man is a hero if he does what he has the ability to do. He is a sinner if he doesn't do what he has the ability to do! "
"This is my country! This is my family! "
"I only want to have a clear conscience, that's enough!"
"But I feel even more lonely now …"
…
After the war, the Empire of Yutang had finally entered a period of quiet peace.
Yun Yang had stopped for a period of time as well. He had no other choice. The Ten Thousand Miles Raid had exhausted him continuously, forcefully using Mystique Wind Conjuration and Fiery Charm's power that could only be unleashed at the pinnacle of the third or even fourth stage …
He laid on the bed weakly for more than half a month before he recovered a little. When he could finally get off the bed, his legs felt like they were floating.
Lao Mei and Fang Mofei were perplexed.
Their young master's behavior during this period of time was too strange. There was an inexplicable atmosphere of a breakthrough … but it kept repeating itself …
There were more than a dozen consecutive breakthroughs … then there was a period of peace before he suddenly became so weak!
Both of them could not figure out what was going on, no matter how hard they thought.
Even Yun Yang himself did not expect the consequences of his desperate attempt would be so severe. For the worst few days, he could not use mystical Qi, he could not even move a finger.
Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan had been deeply troubled during the time Yun Yang was lying on the bed.
After the Old Marshal and His Majesty had finished talking and returned home, he realized that the atmosphere was strange. After a few days, the feeling grew stranger. No matter where he went, there was always the feeling that someone was watching him.
The situation was getting more and more serious.
The Old Marshal could clearly feel that these gazes bore no malice! No murderous intent!
What was going on?
In the capital city, there was only one organization that could do this without malice – the Nine Heavens Dictum!
But why is the Nine Heavens Dictum paying so much attention to me?
The situation had suddenly disappeared one morning after ten days. Everything had returned to normal. It was as if the inexplicable gazes were Old Marshal Qiu's own speculation.
None of this had happened.
Old Marshal Qiu knew it but he did not take any action.
In spite of this, he was sure of one thing – there must still be someone alive in the Nine Supremes!
War was obviously out of his league, so the Nine Heavens Dictum was very nervous at this time. Perhaps the Nine Heavens Dictum did not know which of their bosses had made a move and wanted to see his reaction.
The conclusion made the Old Marshal very happy.
Although it was not a good feeling to be watched, the Old Marshal would pour himself a cup of wine almost every night in high spirits and sigh in contentment.
Although he did not know who was still alive.
As long as someone was still alive.
This old man would be satisfied!
…
Although Yun Yang could move now, he was still very weak. It was impossible for him to continue fighting the Four Seasons Tower. Therefore, he still stayed at home.
He did not go out.
However, one morning.
The Residence of Yun suddenly received an invitation.
It was an invitation from Cirrus House.
Yun Zuiyue had invited Young Master Yun to Cirrus House, saying that there was a new song and dance that she wanted Young Master Yun to take a look.
When Lao Mei passed the invitation to Yun Yang, he could clearly see the momentary fear on Yun Yang's haggard face. It was an instinctive desire to escape.
"I will be there on time," Yun Yang said with his eyes closed.
…
Cirrus House.
When Yun Yang arrived, he was pulled by Yun Zuiyue for a private talk.
In Yun Zuiyue's most secret chamber …
"It's him! Is it him? Did he do it? "
Yun Zuiyue's face was glowing.
The light in her eyes was as dazzling as the stars in the sky.
She was filled with hope and vitality.
She was filled with longing.
"Supreme Wind and Flame helped in the battle! Isn't it? Isn't it? " Yun Zuiyue's face was flushed with excitement. Tears streamed down her face as she smiled, crying tears of joy. "He is alright, thank God … thank God …"
Yun Yang was completely stunned.
Looking at Yun Zuiyue's ecstasy, he felt like his throat was choked.
