Chapter 257: Slight Intimidation!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yun Yang was as touched as much as he was happy about the love between fifth brother and Sister Yue, he was even envious before too, but the sympathy he felt regarding Yun Zuiyue being alone for the rest of her life triumphed the positive feelings – it was better of similar fate did not occur to anyone close to him again!

Staying together amidst hardship… it was better to forget each other in that moment – the latter would be more suited to the current situation!

…

Qiu Yunsan and Xia Bingchuan who brought ten Qiu Family experts and ten Xia Family experts with them respectively had waited at the Residence of Yun for some time now.

Almost wearing their eyes out from eagerly waiting to see Yun Yang, they were ecstatic once they saw Yun Yang return. They went over to him thrilled, calling out, "Boss, you’ve returned."

Yet when the twenty high-leveled experts of the two noble families saw Yun Yang, it was all doubt within their eyes. The child did not look anything like a mystical beast trainer of high levels. Could he really make mystical beasts level up by breaking their limitation that others could not? Would their young masters have been tricked?

Any cultivator who had slightly more experience with the martial arts world would share the same doubt. After all, Yun Yang was too young. No matter how good looking he was, it could not camouflage the fact that he was young while one of the characteristics of a high ranked mystical beast trainer was to have plenty of experience, be it heard or learned. This was something Yun Yang could not have done, given his young age.

Yun Yang was exceptionally weighed down with matters of the heart now. With a hum, he ignored the two people and went back to his room alone.

He has just left the two great young masters outside standing and staring back at each other like that.

The instant reaction of the guards was naturally to being infuriated – how could this fellow be so ill-mannered?!

Did he not know who we are? We are the elite experts of the Qiu and Xia Family!

With their identities, background, and cultivation base, along with the sheer number of them gathered here, even a reputable marquis or the master of a renowned sect would dare not regard them as lightly.

This group of people was ready to explode and make their move but Qiu Yunsan and Xia Bingchuan had pacified them. Both of them were clear that if their guards had offended Yun Yang today, there would be no subsequent opportunity to train their mystical beasts!

Boss Yun Yang had never been someone one could easily converse with.

At this moment, another team of people had arrived at the doors hastily – "Where’s boss?"

The person who spoke was Chun Wanfeng.

Chun Wanfeng was hugging a tiny mystical beast baby to himself as well; it was a tiny tiger-like beast with a colorful body that looked so very soft that it made one want to touch it.

Just by judging from appearances, Chun Wanfeng’s cub had beaten the ones Xia and Qiu had to the abyss – there was simply no comparison to be made!

Upon Chun Wanfeng’s entrance, a man who looked dejected and displeased followed; it was none other than the last person from the four noble young masters, Dong Tianleng.

This fellow had come alone this time.

"Where’s boss?" Dong Tianleng asked the same question as Chun Wanfeng.

Xia Bingchuan and Qiu Yunsan both rolled their eyes, ignoring him while hugging their mystical beasts. The one hugging a cub asked; what were you asking for without having a mystical beast with you?

Did you not see the two of us being displeased?

Actually, it was not only Xia and Qiu. The experts from their families were all looking unprecedentedly grim with their gazes trained at the small tiger in Chun Wanfeng’s embrace; some of them even looked deeply jealous and envious.

Chun Wanfeng’s cub did not only trump the mystical cubs from both families on the sole aspect of appearance, that was for sure. This was a pure combat breed eighth level pinnacle mystical beast, Sable-winged Tiger!

Once such a mystical beast grew into adulthood, a pair of wings would grow from the sides of its ribs. Although the pair of wings could not allow it to soar high in the sky, it was a symbol of distinction that differentiated it from other beasts.

Other than the pair of wings being unusually hard and could be used as a weapon to kill, it could also be used for short-distanced gliding that it was an easy feat to drift through mountains and rivers. Even if one had to go against the course of the wind, the motion would still be achievable.

Besides, the Sable-winged Tiger possessed an innate skill – it could shoot sharp air arrows from its mouth. Not only could the arrows penetrate through anything, its accuracy was marvelous. It was the equivalent of a sniper among the mystical beasts!

It was an elite combat mystical beast that one could not have asked for more. Be it Xia Family’s Ten Thousand Catty Bear or Qiu Family’s Three-eye Boar, they could not compare to this Sable-winged Tiger. They were just plain garbage in comparison!

"Boss!" Chun Wanfeng was pleased and proud, mettlesome and boisterous, as he called aloud in a flaunting manner.

"Young master is taking a rest." Fang Mofei’s sturdy build appeared from the side as he said lightly, "I ask that everyone wait a while."

Once Fang Mofei appeared, his strong aura surged immediately, calling the rapt attention of the three families’ guards.

"Eighth level pinnacle mystical cultivator!"

Almost everyone tensed, bringing themselves on guard.

Although their cultivation base was no weaker than this person before them – some of them much higher than his, to have such a high-leveled cultivator in the ordinary residence of a young master such as Yun Yang was beyond everyone’s expectation.

When Lao Mei stepped out from the pavilion under the tree, everyone was surprised once more to find out that there was another eighth level expert present!

Despite this recent appearance’s cultivation base paling slightly compared to the previous man, he was still a solid eighth peak cultivator. Could it be that high-level cultivators were worth so little now that there were easily two of them serving in this residence?

However, surprises only came consecutively to them.

Within the room, Bai Yixue spoke lazily, "All who have come are guests. Feel at home, there is no need to be uneasy."

His voice came unhurriedly, accompanied by an indifferent tone, but a pressure not unlike a mountain poured over the entire Residence of Yun from where the voice spoke.

All thirty high-level experts from the three families grew pale; this was obviously a peak cultivator who had exceeded Tenth Perfection!

A mere marquis’ residence could actually have such an advanced cultivator residing in it. Had they really dropped to the standard of a frog in a well?

For once, the group was at a loss.

Have we really come to the residence of a worldly marquis’ young master? Or have we actually arrived at the Concourse of the Underworld? Perhaps the headquarter of the top five sects?

Does this residence have an even higher combat capability that it’s still keeping concealed?

More so, could the so-called ability to make mystical beast offspring break through their personal boundaries and level up against be actually true?

Perhaps it’s really true in this odd place of unexpected power!

The arrogance within everyone vanished; not a single drop of it remained. Instead, they were even a little more cautious now.

Yun Yang was standing by the window in his room to watch the grim expressions of the thirty experts.

It was understandable that the three families wanted nothing to go wrong in the process of sending the hardly acquired mystical beast cubs but to send such a mighty group was over the top. There were even several ninth peak cultivators; there probably had other intentions.

That was why Yun Yang had sent Bai Yixue out to make a slight intimidation, snubbing the seedling three families could have before it could even sprout!

If they were to be in an argument once they arrived, there was simply no benefit to his subsequent plans; that would only expose the real abilities of his side.

As long as these people stayed, they would probably have to join in if he were to engage in a duel with Four Seasons Tower’s experts. They were hoping for him to train the mystical offspring, did they not?

In spite of this, Yun Yang had no intention to go out today. Upon killing the high-level cultivator from the Four Seasons Tower with his blades of wind earlier, Yun Yang could clearly feel the slight restlessness of his Endless Divine Art. He would have to go through it to be rid of worry.

Moreover, there were too many unexpected incidents that had happened in this timeframe – too much, too miscellaneous, too unruly. He needed to sort them out meticulously.

Shui Wuyin was still putting the task Yun Yang had assigned to him in order. He had turned haggard but the Nine Heavens Dictum had taken a better shape with his organization now that it had begun to shine.

He had not made the organization known in the open nor did he gather all these people in totality. The Nine Heavens Dictum could only unleash their greatest potential while being in secret; once it was to be exposed in broad daylight, it might be useless standing against a colossus of the Four Seasons Tower, turning into the target of destruction instead.

Shui Wuyin resorted to constant assignments of orders and tasks to allow the men under the Nine Heavens Dictum to gradually realize that it was Lord Supreme Wind who was behind everything. He then straightened things up and united everyone step by step through his orders. The process took a long time, definitely, but it sloughed any ill possibilities off and away.

He had even occasionally instigated the members to set their hearts of revenge alight… before sometimes painting the scenery of a great future…

It was an undeniable fact that Shui Wuyin was an expert manipulator!

Through his tricks and strategies, the Nine Heavens Dictum was working more efficiently than ever while cooperation had taken place among departments. There were also rare cases of misunderstandings.

It was a total miracle to have achieved this stage without the need to meet the higher-ups and resort to forceful restraint!

At least, Yun Yang knew that it would be difficult to have done so himself!

…

After Bai Yixue’s ‘gentle’ reminder, everyone from the three noble families waited quietly at the Residence of Yun’s yard. The weather was a little chilly but it was no big deal to these high ranked cultivators. Furthermore, the abundance of spiritual Qi in the Residence of Yun compared to anywhere else paralleled that of blessed locations. There were only pros without cons to staying here.

However, it was one thing for them to stay willingly; it was another to remain curious.

Upon returning, this Young Master Yun had gone to his room with a dark look like someone had owed him a fortune…

Why was that?

It was afternoon already but Yun Yang was yet to appear. Someone else came instead.

"Is this the Residence of Marquis Yun? May I ask if Young Master Yun Yang is in?" A gentle and clear voice sounded from outside the doors.

Hearing the voice, the group looked over. There was a man dressed in green who smiling at the entrance of the yard accompanied by a large bird on his left while a youth with a darkly sculpted face stood on his right.

He had already entered without being invited.
