Following a long laugh, the three of them slowly stepped out of the dense forest from three different directions. One of them had a sonorous voice that sounded like the clashing of metals. He said coldly, "The Demiurge-Flawed Ten lives up to its name indeed. The Raiders of All But God is indeed impressive. They kill without hesitation and leave no loose ends!"
Lan Ruojun narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who are you? Could it be that … you know that we're the Demiurge-Flawed Ten, but you still think that we're the Raiders of All But God? "
The leader of the trio snorted and said faintly, "If you're not the Raiders of All But God, am I?"
Lan Ruojun sucked in a breath. "The Steel Fort's people came looking for trouble just now. Was it your order or a threat?"
He was no fool.
These people from the Steel Fort were clearly no match for the two of them, but they insisted on courting death. There must be a reason, but he really could not figure it out.
"What difference does it make?" The man said coldly, "They're already dead. And the Raiders of All But God has a blood debt of dozens of lives on your hands! "
Lan Ruojun's expression turned cold. "We're not the Raiders of All But God!"
The trio snickered in unison.
Lan Ruojun and Ren Qingkuang inhaled at the same time and slowly pressed on the hilts of their swords.
Ren Qingkuang said coldly, "You're right, we're the Raiders of All But God. Cut the crap, let's go!"
As soon as he finished, he turned into a whirlwind. The three people opposite him roared and charged forward, engaging in a fierce battle in an instant.
At that moment, Yun Yang asked, "Who are the ten people?"
"The ten of us …" Shi Wuchen's gaze was worried as he said, "The young master in the black fog is frivolous, the green robe is dustless, Huang Ruilan is the queen; the purple robe is dreamy, the golden hand holds up the sky alone; the poisonous heart is not a small intention, the starry soul stains the great river; the moon falls from the nine serenities, the sun shines in the sky."
"These are the Demiurge-Flawed Ten of the past."
Shi Wuchen chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Each of them is quite famous, but their foundation and stamina are lacking. They can't escape the fate of becoming whetstones, it's just a matter of time … "
"Defeating the Demiurge-Flawed Ten will allow one to become a core disciple or a true disciple of the Black Celestial Luck Banner … Heh heh … The so-called Demiurge-Flawed Ten is nothing but a whetstone pushed out by the sect. How laughable!"
Shi Wuchen recalled what had happened to him, and the sorrow in his eyes deepened.
In front of him, the two people who were suffering from infamy and being attacked were very similar to him. Those who besieged them were disciples from sects with Celestial Luck Banners.
Yun Yang said, "Then these two people before us must be Ren Qingkuang of Bai Ren Qingkuang and Lan Ruojun of Huangrui Orchid?"
"Not bad. It was them. The reason why these two fellows often stay together is not only because their temperaments are compatible, but also because they are … too … cough cough, clean … "
Shi Wuchen's words were very vague.
Yun Yang caught the hint and laughed, saying, "You can just say that both of you have mysophobia. Anyone with eyes can see this. It's not a problem. I also like to be clean. It's just that I'm not obsessed with cleanliness. "
Amidst such a stormy sea of blood, these two people were still trying their best to keep their clothes clean. What else could it be if they were not mysophobia?
"Who are the other people?" Yun Yang asked.
"… Young Master of Dark Mist, Shi Bujia, Purple Robed Golden Needle, Wu Menghuan, Golden Scholar, Tie Qingcang, Vicious Physician, Ping Xiaoyi, Star-Soul Swordsman, Luo Dajiang, Serene Spirit of Nine Springs, Kong Luoyue, Eternal Sky Assassin, Guo Nuanyang."
"Including the three of us, Tri-Autumn Swordsman, Shi Wuchen, Traceless White Blade, Ren Qingkuang, Yellow Robed Sword, Lan Ruojun.
"It's only been three years, but it feels like a long, long time has passed …" Shi Wuchen said in a melancholic tone.
Yun Yang said softly, "Don't be so sentimental just yet. Those two equally famous Heaven Cripples of yours are really going to be crippled soon."
Shi Wuchen turned to look and saw that Lan Ruojun and Ren Qingkuang were at a complete disadvantage in the field.
The three people who had attacked were still unruffled, the shadows of green Celestial Luck Banners glinting faintly on their sleeves and collars as they moved.
All of them belonged to those with the middle-class Celestial Luck Banners!
Shi Wuchen pressed a hand on the hilt of his sword and said softly, "I want to save them!"
His tone was soft, but it was filled with determination.
It sounded more like a notification than a request for Yun Yang's opinion!
Yun Yang reached out to press on Shi Wuchen's hand and shook his head slowly. "Don't be impatient. We still have to wait a little longer."
"Wait a little longer?"
Shi Wuchen was perplexed, and subconsciously retorted, "The battle's strong and weak are clear now. Let's intervene while Ren Lan and his companion still have the strength to retaliate, and we can end this battle as soon as possible. Why do we have to wait a little longer? What if we wait until the two of them are unable to continue and are injured or heavily injured?"
"But if we intervene now, we might offend both sides at the same time. Even your two brothers might not be grateful to us," Yun Yang said.
"…"
Shi Wuchen was speechless. He paused for a moment before continuing, "What they think is their business. A man should be generous and not expect anything in return."
"This isn't a matter of whether you expect anything in return." Yun Yang said, "Let me ask you. Do you wish for the Demiurge-Flawed Ten to continue as a joke, or do you want to try to show your value in a different way? Are you really willing to be the whetstone for these sect disciples and ruin your own future?"
"If this goes on, no matter what whetstone it is, it will definitely be worn down."
Shi Wuchen was silent, deep in thought.
"Now that you have a foundation and a place to return to, your future is bright. Shouldn't you think about the future for your two brothers?"
Yun Yang said, "The reason why I'm playing tricks at this time is not to harm them or to curry favor with them. It's to make them acknowledge us. That way, if there's a chance to cooperate, we can naturally work together and fight together!"
Shi Wuchen blinked and glared at Yun Yang. "Why do I feel that you have an ulterior motive when you say that? Anyone can say that I have a bright future ahead of me, but you're the only one who can say that. Don't you think you're blowing yourself up a little too much? You're not letting me intervene right away. Isn't it because you want to curry favor with me more? Isn't it because you want to play tricks?"
Yun Yang was so angry that his nose almost became crooked. How could this fellow dare to spout the truth? Did he not know how to respect his superiors? What was he talking about? He blurted out, "Just tell me, do you want to go your separate ways after saving them now, or do you want to save them later and get a chance to fight for the Celestial Luck Banner together?" Yun Yang asked.
"This …" Shi Wuchen's eyes widened, speechless.
"I'm giving you the chance to choose freely now. Choose one of the two. " Yun Yang said, "Insist on my scheming and the principle of never forgetting to repay kindness, or intervene now. It's entirely up to you. I won't interfere anymore. No matter what you choose, I'll do it with you. We'll advance and retreat together."
Shi Wuchen said quietly, "If I can make them stay and do it together, that would be the best outcome, but …"
