Chapter 300: Gathered at the Residence of Yun

The rotund man snorted and said proudly, "Of course the Nine Supremes Lords are like immortals, they’re the Empire of Yutang’s guardians! As long as the Nine Supremes Lords were here, our Yutang would be peerless in this world!"

The pride laced in his tone would have made anyone believe he was one of the Nine Supremes himself.

"However, the Nine Supremes Lords have already…" The middle-aged young lord sighed and said, "The fight at Tianxuan Cliff took eight heroes, leaving one behind; it’s hard to do everything alone…"

"How would you know of Lord Supreme Wind’s mightiness?"

The fat man glanced at the young lord in disdain and said, "I’ve personally witnessed Lord Supreme Wind’s almighty prowess. It was above Tiantang City, the barreling tornado connected heaven and earth – the valiance was earth-shattering! Everyone kneeled on the spot, as if they've seen deities. Perhaps Lord Supreme Wind has turned into an immortal…"

"Lord Supreme Wind. Tornado…" the young lord mumbled.

Snow was still fluttering outside while the people inside had nothing to do. Hearing someone talk about the Nine Supremes while being Yutang’s men themselves, they were naturally familiar with their heroes. They came forth to add a word of their own, sparking a heated discussion.

The old man and young lord listened and exclaimed in admiration while exchanging glances throughout the process. They finally understood the entirety of things now.

So this was the case!

The Tianxuan Continent had experienced many changes in the period of their family’s absence – the Residence of Nine Supremes, Nine Heavens Dictum, Nine Supremes!

It seemed that the person who had saved Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan was this Supreme Wind then – there was no doubt about it!

…

"Obviously it was the Nine Heavens Demesne that gifted the Nine Supremes the power of natural phenomena."

"As for the Nine Supremes, to possess such abilities, yet still managed to get themselves annihilated, their combat power is not intimidating at all!"

"Young lord, this is a golden opportunity!" The insidious face of the old man dressed in black was alight with excitement.

"Correct, we mustn’t miss this godsend chance!" The young lord said slowly, his eyes glowing.

"Only our family has accessed the spiritual Qi passage for now. This time, it was initially opened for young lord’s cultivation – to find innately gifted mystical Yin and to obtain the Pure Yin of Chaos… The other families don’t know this about the Tianxuan Continent and have missed this remarkable cultivation method."

The old man said, "Still, the acquisition of the mythical cultivation method might not be completed anytime soon, especially with Supreme Wind being so mysterious; hardly anyone knew his real identity. It’s not too long after his ambush, so he must be even more cautious when concealing himself. There will be difficulties awaiting us if we were to investigate him."

"If young lord doesn’t return and remained absent for too long, the other families might get suspicious. Any family that finds out about this cultivation method would definitely not let it go."

The old man’s voice was hushed, a strong sense of warning filled his tone.

"Meaning?" The young lord smiled in amusement.

"This old servant means…" The black-robed old man gritted his teeth. "Let the others go back first. Leave only a handful of people here with young lord, then seal the spiritual Qi passage. Make it look like young lord has returned."

"Young lord, you have the Core Embodiment Jade. Use all your energy to activate the Core Embodiment Jade and notify our family to reopen the spiritual Qi passage. From there, we can return safe and sound."

"With such great lengths taken, I believe the other families won’t have noticed this here."

"When young lord returns then, it’ll also be in secret… I believe with a period of immersed cultivation, the young lord can go straight to the top of the Rising Dragon Ranking…"

"Agreed!" The middle-aged young lord’s breathing could not help but quicken when speaking of this as he said, "With our cultivation bases, we should already be of pinnacle level in the worldly Tianxuan Continent. As long as we don’t provoke the mighty ones, the rest are too insignificant to be mentioned."

"At worst, if we really intended to flee, no one could make us stay if we utilize our Conceptual Augmentation! This can work indeed."

"If the young lord is decided, this old servant will arrange it now. Better early than late, it should be carried out as soon as possible."

"Alright." The young lord said decisively, "Since there’s no need to keep plenty of people around, let it be just the two of us. The rest can go back, make a bigger ruckus there as a distraction."

"We shall depart to Tiantang City tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

The previous change of events was unexpected to the young lord and black-robed elder, but they had adapted to it, being taken aback first before being delighted; it seemed that their critical situation had turned into a huge opportunity – what a great surprise!

On the other hand, it was thrill after thrill for Yun Yang. He was petrified from beginning to end. Anyone with a weaker state of mind would have been scared to death if he had not been struck dead first!

There was no other reason other than the exceedingly mighty prowess of the other party; it exceeded even the maximum limit of Yun Yang’s psychological endurance. The level he had endured and the degree of damage he sustained from this rescue mission were far greater than that time He Hanqing had injured him!

Once Yun Yang struck, he was met with threats; it was extremely dangerous. The Whiteys were infuriated seeing it and were about to charge out.

Yun Yang had stopped them immediately.

With the unidentifiable level and formidable cultivation base of the other party, it was still futile even when the Whiteys had leveled up, unrestrained by the limitation of ranks. Not only would it be useless, they would only be further exposed and could even be exterminated.

A thought suddenly blossomed in his head.

It was just like what the young lord and old man in black were thinking – that the critical situation could turn to his advantage, this vehement enemy might be a huge surprise!

Whatever idea it was, it needed further improvisation with dozens of details to consider. There was hardly any time to ponder upon it; he had better bring the two ladies and the Thousand Illusion Monkey back to the Residence of Yun instead.

After all, Yun Yang was not in the greatest condition right now. His mystical Qi was very much depleted and his cultivation method was damaged from the unsparing slash of the elder; he had to recuperate and heal himself as soon as possible.

As for Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan, their high-strung hearts were inexplicably pacified once they were carried away by the tornado. Once they let their guards down, they lost consciousness.

When the two ladies woke up and regained their bearings, they realized that they were lying on a fragrantly soft bed.

"Where are we?"

Ji Lingxi scrambled up at once and her eyes bulged in shock.

Her eyes met a familiar sight – a sword hung on the left wall of the bed, one that was purely for decoration, while a painting hung on the wall opposite of the sword, it was a splash-ink scenery painting.

There was only one place in Ji Lingxi’s memory that had such a familiar set up.

"What is it?" Yue Rulan asked once she saw the trance Ji Lingxi was in.

Instantly, she realized the abnormality within herself. Her injured leg was no longer in pain; it still felt uncomfortable and strenuous to move but the injury of her broken leg did not look as severe now.

Yue Rulan tried moving it softly and could not help being surprised. "What is going on? Has my leg really healed?"

Ji Lingxi was jolted from her daze by Yue Rulan’s words. Shock colored her face as well as she said, "This… this is my room!"

Yue Rulan was taken aback at once. "What? You mean we are in your home?"

"No, this is not my house. This is my… my…" Ji Lingxi blushed as she spoke, "This is my personal room when I was staying at the Residence of Yun…"

Yue Rulan knew better than to tease her about it. "Residence of Yun? You mean this is the Residence of Yun? Yun Yang’s Residence of Yun?"

"No doubt about it!" Ji Lingxi stood up, feeling well rested. She opened the window and took a deep breath. "I don’t even have to confirm it with open eyes. I’m sure it’s the Residence of Yun just by breathing in with my eyes closed. The air here is exceptionally fresh."

Yue Rulan was exasperated at once – this girl was helpless.

The air was the same wherever it was, especially air in such a big city – it was always polluted. How could it be exceptionally fresh?

They had just left the mountains; there should be where the air was exceptionally fresh. This girl was obviously in love with everything on account of another, but such an extension of love was a little too ridiculous. Why else would she say nonsense like the air being exceptionally fresh!?

"Lingxi, get a hold of yourself. How could the air be fresh? The atmosphere is okay but the airs most probably better now because it just snowed. That would make sense; it is unlikely that the Residence of Yun is any more superior in terms of environment." Yue Rulan felt the crisp freshness around her as well but did not think much of it.

Ji Lingxi cast her gaze outside the window; anywhere her eyes brought her within the residence’s courtyard, it was all snow-white. There was no trace of anyone stepping on the snow.

The pavilion on the side of the courtyard was still how she remembered it, but why was there green under the snow-capped pavilion roof?

Even if the snow was sudden and the plants had yet to wither, what about the flower there? It was a flower that pushed through the snow and bloomed with its enchanting fragrance!

"So pretty!"

Ji Lingxi inhaled and said, "Sister Lan, the truth is the truth. What the eyes see have proven that my words aren’t lies! I say this is the most beautiful place in this world."

Yue Rulan laid on the bed, her body tilted to one side as her right hand came to her head; she smiled helplessly. "Yes, yes. Wherever Yun Yang is, there lies the most beautiful place! I’ve never doubted this!"

Ji Lingxi was embarrassed and angered at the same time. "Sister Lan, you know that’s not what I meant. You’re making fun of me on purpose!"

Yue Rulan chortled in agreement.
