Chapter 279: Reduced to Ashes

Yun Yang’s eyes were wide open.

Ten bottles!

A single bottle would be sufficient to set off a reign of terror in the martial arts world!

Even strong figures like Ling Xiaozui and Mr. Nian would be tempted by it!

However, the amount that Yun Zuiyue had was sufficient to conduct a wholesale business.

Yun Yang’s mouth twitched. He could hardly withhold the shock within him. HIs perspective of the world which was completely subverted was utterly relieved now as he raised his goblet and uttered, "Sister Yue, Sister Xue, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The three of them toasted and emptied their goblets.

Yun Zuiyue began to fill Yun Yang's goblet again, holding the wine bottle.

"Come, young brother, try this."

"Young brother, try this too."

The two beauties served Yun Yang the dishes. It was not long before the numerous delicacies were piled up before him. These dishes, made from the essence of the superior mystical beasts that even people of Ling Xiaozui's standard could hardly see, were piled up so high that they almost hit Yun Yang's nose tip.

"You two have it as well. Don’t just keep on serving them to me." Yun Yang laughed helplessly.

"Sure, let’s eat together."

The three of them ate while talking.

Yun Zuiyue shared all her past experiences, things from when she could start remembering since a child to her current affairs. Qing Shanxue, on the other hand, began to talk about her own musical experiences.

Yun Yang spoke about strange news and odd occurrences, causing the two ladies to laugh from time to time.

In short, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Yun Yang could clearly feel that his capability had increased, following every mouthful of dishes he ate.

Such feeling of enhancement was long lasting and endless, like the boundless ocean!

"Ayaya..."

Within his subconscious space, Emmie was beyond amazed.

A mere dance would not have been able to express its joy. It was waving about in a wild dance, overwhelmed and jubilant to the point that it could not even recognize who it was!

Such a great force had simply been eaten by Yun Yang, flowing to his stomach. Of course, Emmie would secretly absorb some of it.

It could hardly help itself.

There was simply too much temptation!

Emmie had secretly absorbed a little at a time, afraid to be found out by Yun Yang. When the medicinal power that entered Yun Yang's body got stronger, Emmie started to fully absorb them, heedless of the consequences.

Awesome!

Scrumptious!

Too contented!

Even if Yun Yang were to punish and chastise it, it was going to eat until its heart's content!

Anyway, it was uncertain when Yun Yang would be able to digest them all. it was only right that it helped him in the digestion with full effort.

However, no matter how hard Emmie had sucked everything in, like an inhaling whale, waves of power entered the deific consciousness space endlessly. They were difficult to be reduced no matter how much was consumed. What was more, not only did the energy within Yun Yang stop reducing, it had gradually increased, following the incoming food and good wine into his stomach. The potential benefit had grown larger and larger!

Yun Yang did not care about whether the food would be wasted at all. This was because he was certain that all the spiritual power provided by the food today would be thoroughly integrated with the peculiar great wine and turn into a kept force of his own!

To one’s surprise, this wine was actually the ultimate catalyst and fusing agent.

All of the spiritual power were all being transformed into the purest and most basic energy of the dantian, vitality, and force!

Initially Yun Yang was still worried about whether he would become a human nutrition pack after the meal, a snack coveted by everyone, with all the creatures rushing over to bite a few mouthfuls of his own flesh. After all, the spiritual Qi previously had turned Yun Yang into a gem, not unlike the holy medicine. The traces of it could not be covered at all, once he had walked out, every living creatures would fight over him like a pack of wolves at the sight of meat.

However, after having several goblets of wine, all the medicinal power had turned neutral and accumulated as Yun Yang’s stored capability. The previous air that would tempt people into frenzy was completely eliminated.

Yun Yang now had reverted to the normal youth that was no different from before the meal.

Well, of course, still a very handsome looking and elegant youth!

At the moment, Yun Yang had already drank six goblets of wine. Upon seeing Yun Zuiyue holding up the wine bottle to pour out more wine for himself, he could not help but to laugh wryly, "Sister Yue, you are good in asking people to drink. It seems like you are the one who wants me to get drunk!"

Yun Zuiyue sweetly said, "How can it be? For today’s wine, I would not have allowed it even if you want to have more. You can only have nine goblets!"

Nine goblets!

Yun Yang was startled.

The number nine had triggered Yun Yang’s sensitive nerves.

The originally harmonious atmosphere had suddenly turned solemn.

A gleam of regret flashed through the clear eyes of Yun Zuiyue. Hurriedly she tried to laugh it off, "Come, young brother. Have more dishes. It will be such a waste if all the dishes can’t be finished today."

Yun Yang beamed wryly.

If that was so, ‘wasteful’ could hardly describe it.

Even ‘tyrannical waste’ would not be able to describe such an action. To do so would be insanity, to the point that it caused people to shiver!

"Sister Yue, where did you get all these great ingredients?" asked Yun Yang, who could no longer hold in his doubts.

"These ingredients ..."

Yun Zuiyue smiled and said, "There was a strange old man who left three boxes here and died after that. It was a coincidence that I discovered these items in those boxes when I cleaned up my items after dismissing the subordinates…They came on time for me to treat you in today’s feast. Is it not common to leave great items for family to enjoy, young brother?"

Was that so?

Well, everything you say is right.

Yun Yang did not believe a single word of Yun Zuiyue’s speech.

How could there be such a thing?

An old man came here to leave three boxes and died?

For someone who could possess three boxes of such items, even if the old man was being slaughtered into pieces, so long as he could still eat, he would be able to survive and live a long life!

Also, the tone and speed of language were extremely fluent when Yun Zuiyue said this, seemingly without any consideration. It was apparent that she had long been ready for Yun Yang to ask her this.

This was even growing even stranger.

Yun Yang could not figure it out, even if he had broken his mind.

"Yun Yang ... brother."

Yun Zuiyue staring tentatively at Yun Yang, her eyes were filled with unconcealed sympathy and affection. Raising her goblet she uttered, "Brother, you ... have been having a hard time... Let sister-in-law propose a toast to you."

Having a hard time?

Yun Yang was stunned upon hearing this.

Somehow, a heart-wrenching feeling rose within him upon hearing these words.

Having a hard time…

Yun Yang suddenly thought of his eight brothers. Took a deep breath, he beamed and uttered, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Bottoms up!"

Without a second word, he raised his goblet and emptied its contents.

Yun Zuiyue slowly drank the wine inside her goblet, and then quickly filled up another goblet for Yun Yang. Hers, however, were only filled at the bottom of the glass. She hesitated for a long time and slowly uttered, "Brother ... in the future..."

She stopped. With a strange expression, she lingered for a while and said, "... you'll be alone faced with so many enemies from all over the world... you ... you must take care of yourself in the future."

Yun Yang sighed with emotion, "For the peace of the heart and the presence of justice, it doesn't matter even when there are enemies everywhere. So what if the world is my enemy?"

His eyes were calm and serene, determinedly resolute.

Facing Yun Yang's resolute gaze, Yun Zuiyue felt an ache in her heart,

How could she not know what Yun Yang was thinking?

Revenge for the brothers!

No matter how bitter...

No matter how tiring...

No matter how awful...

No matter how painful...

No matter how difficult...

No matter how painstaking...

I, Yun Yang, was willing and happy!

There was no one to accompany me on this route, yet I ... would go on forever! Until the day when the vengeance has been settled or the day when I can no longer continue!

"Young brother Yun, I am extremely grateful for your care and protection all this while." While beaming, Yun Zuiyue raised her goblet and said,"Sister-in-law hereby toasts you! "

"Please don’t say so!" Yun Yang said profoundly, "Fifth brother's family, is my family! We are one family!"

He smiled faintly and said, "I am afraid that I did not manage to take care of you properly ..."

Yun Zuiyue could not help but feel an ache in her heart. She took a deep breath.

Young brother... He has been bearing too much responsibility.

Her eyes reddened and there was a pinch on her nose. She almost fell into tears. She immediately held the tears back, raising her goblet with Yun Yang. She smiled and had it finished.

"Be sure to take care of yourself ... " murmured Yun Zuiyue.

…

After eating a few mouthful of dishes, both Yun Zuiyue and Qing Shanxue held their stomachs. They were full, unable to eat anymore.

Apparently, a few mouthfuls of the dishes had been the two’s limit. If not for the suppression of the odd wine, both of them would have had turned into a human nutrition pack, just like Yun Yang. What was more, they would become the most gorgeous of beauty nutrition packs!

Yun Zuiyue kept urging Yun Yang to finish off the dishes on the table.

Although the eighteen dishes were delicate and their amounts were extremely minimal, having to savor them all had caused Yun Yang's belly to bloat. After all, Yun Yang's legendary large appetite had been a thing of the past. Even if his enormous appetite were to remain, it was easy to fill up that large appetite by casually eating a mouthful of today’s delicacies. What had happened in the past was different for now, only change was constant!

Having to drink the nine goblets of wine, as expected, Yun Zuiyue no longer poured more.

Nevertheless, Yun Zuiyue was still unwilling to answer Yun Yang's questions

This made Yun Yang felt as if an odd feeling had settled within himself.

"I will come and fetch sister-in-law to move tomorrow. Never did I know that the dishes made by you were so delicious. If there is the time in the future, I will have to come and interrupt sister-in-law once in awhile to have my stomach filled," uttered Yun Yang.

"Great." Yun Zuiyue stared deeply at Yun Yang and said, "Sister-in-law will wait for you tomorrow afternoon."

Just when Yun Yang was about to get up and leave, Yun Zuiyue was suddenly been reminded of something and said, "Right, young brother. Do bring all these wine back with you lest they are accidentally broken when we are busy moving the items tomorrow."

"To bring them all?" Yun Yang frowned, "Sister-in-law you ..."

"These wines are priceless treasures. It is fine when they have never greeted the world previously. Since they had emerged, if I were to leave them here, even if it's only a night's time..."

Yun Zuiyue smiled wryly, "Maybe it will become the root cause of the disaster by then. Do carry them with you. Help me move them over after all has been settled. Anyway, good wine is only for our family to drink."

Yun Yang considered it and thought that she was right.

In fact, there was no need to be that vigilant since it was only a night's time. Since Yun Zuiyue had already said so, such a hidden danger might actually exist. If Yun Yang did not move them away, it would appear as if he did not care about the safety of both Yun Zuiyue and Qing Shanxue.

As for the secrets of these dishes, it was fine if Yun Zuiyue would not want to speak of it. Anyway, there would be more time to talk about that in the future.

He believed that one day Yun Zuiyue would tell him about it.

Even if she did not want to speak of it, after all, it was fine too.

As what Yun Zuiyue had said, they were family.

How bad would it be if they were to have their own little secrets?

The outcome today had been far beyond Yun Yang’s expectation.

After all, the more mysterious and powerful Yun Zuiyue was, the happier Yun Yang would be!

...

Yun Yang took the wine out of Cirrus House.

Yun Zuiyue sighed in relief as if the stone in her heart had been lifted!

...

Residence of Yun.

"Wuyin, how's the arrangement of the place?"

"All has been settled."

"How secretive it is? I want absolute security!"

"Rest assured boss, no one will be able to find it. I have a hundred percent confidence in this!"

"That's great! You will still have to pay attention to safety when you are helping them to move tomorrow. Leave no risk of threat!"

"All the arrangements have been made. Security troops had been arranged at more than ten different spots."

"In order to be safe, Fang Mofei, you and Lao Mei hide in the dark to observe any suspicious people. No carelessness will be tolerated in this matter. It would better to wrongly kill someone than to let go of anyone who is suspicious!

"Yes."

Yun Yang arrived at Bai Yixue’s room, "Brother Bai, there are things that I need your help with tomorrow."

"I haven’t recovered from the previous injuries! Also, I would seriously resist all request. Every time you asked me for help, I would have to face one or sometimes more strong rivals that I can hardly cope with. I am not insane and I don’t want to torture myself," protested Bai Yixue while rolling his eyes.

"Tomorrow's matter is important." Yun Yang solemnly said, "As long as tomorrow's matter is settled, I promise that all the things that happened between us will be written off. After that, you can go whenever you like."

Bai Yixue pondered for a moment.

Yun Yang uttered, "In addition, I will give you one million banknotes, and one hundred pieces of rare and precious metals!"

"Well, deal! Even if I were to meet a hard player, I would have to admit it!"

"It shouldn't happen. Just stay hidden tomorrow..."

After listening to that, Bai Yixue had his eyes wide open and uttered, "You are willing to pay such a price for such a trivial matter? Are you crazy? Or is there a trap over here? Tell me if there's really a trap so that I can make some mental preparation?"

Yun Yang sighed, "Just tell me if you'll do it or not, and stop talking nonsense!"

"Yes, I will do it!"

"If there is any slip-up, Bai Yixue, you know what to do with yourself."

"If any slip-up occurs out of such a trivial matter handled by me, I would go and face the fallout myself!"

"I will have your word on this."

"Anyway, I'm still curious. That woman must be very important to you, right? For such a little thing, your price would be too high otherwise." The gossiping nature of Bai Yixue had intensified unexpectedly.

Yun Yang glanced side-eye at him, "Yes I have too much money. Are you able to control it?"

Bai Yixue was speechless. There was a sudden impulse to swing a punch across Yun Yang’s face!

Didn’t you know that talking in such a manner before a person who had lent you a high-interest loan was very annoying?

Do you really think that I dare not kill you?

Well, I really don' dare to.

...

That night, all was in complete silence, when out of the blue, a loud crash resounded.

Boom!

An unexpected burst of explosions woke all the sleepers in Tiantang city from their dreams.

Countless people had briefly turned deaf because of this. With a buzzing sound in their ears, they were all stunned for a long time.

Those who were closer to the source of the explosion were bounced off their beds, falling to the ground in confusion.

At the Residence of Yun, Yun Yang, who had been trying his best to digest the accumulated medicinal power through meditation had jolted awake because of this abrupt explosion.

A pair of eyes opened immediately.

At the very next moment, Yun Yang had rushed out to the yard.

"What has happened? Where is the explosion?" Yun Yang urgently asked. His usual calm and collected face was pale.

Yun Yang was haunted by an extremely ominous perception.

"I don’t know ... " Fang Mofei and Lao Mei felt their heads buzzing from the noise. All their minds and hearts were in chaos. While trying to calm the negative feelings with their cultivation, they thought and said, "The origin of the explosion seems to come from the center of Tiantang City…"

Having said that, Yun Yang bolted over to the place immediately.

His speed was faster than the lightning!

...

Yun Yang let out a roar as if his heart had been pierced right through. His mind was complete, immeasurable, blankness.

Before him, there was only a large pit, a ruin.

The original building that had been standing here was the Cirrus House.

However, the Cirrus House had disappeared.

Completely and utterly disappeared from this world!

What was left was only the broken bits of earth and debris. Devastation lay heavily across the land.

With a thump, Yun Yang fell to the ground.

With eyes full of desperation, he stared at the ruin in front of him, extremely mournful and anguished!

Never would he have thought that he would ever have to experience the pain of losing his eight brothers again. It was even more intense and unforgettable this time!

Previously, he was helpless, despite wanting to rescue his brothers as he was trapped in the same situation.

However, how could this have happened?

Where was the Cirrus House?

Gone

Thoroughly and completely wiped away.

The largest piece of debris was but the size of the human head; If there was someone inside, it wasn't hard to imagine their dire fate.

With his eyes focused on the large pit before him, Yun Yang’s mind was completely blank.

At that moment, his face was frighteningly pale, and his eyes were almost going to bulge out of its sockets.

The place had since been surrounded by people who came over to see what had happened. They were all staring at the ruin before them in horror. Of course, they also stared at Yun Yang who was in the middle of the ruins.

This was because Yun Yang’s condition was most unusual at this moment/

Yet Yun Yang did not care at all.

He did not care about his actions, as well as the possible consequences!

He was instantly reminded of the speech uttered by Shui Wuyin, "I have placed explosives beneath this house, sufficient to blast it into a lake!"

The way Shui Wuyin talked about it last time was as if it was true and his tone was sincere. Even if there was really such an arrangement, Yun Yang would have been able to foresee it, since he had cloud manifestation to verify the truth. However, on second thought, how much explosives should be placed to be able to turn it into a lake? It was simply an impossibility to achieve, how could he believe in his lie?

Somehow, it had turned into truth.

How could such an amount of explosives, sufficient to flatten the whole Cirrus House, be hidden underneath the building?

Perhaps it wasn't explosives.

However, what kind of class did an expert need to be in order to do such a thing?

Yun Yang felt as if his soul had been shattered, scattering all over the sky, unable to think for long.

He trembled, his gaze was dazed with disbelief. His entire body had stiffened.

After a long while, Yun Yang could be seen rushing into the ruin with a mad roar!

"Where are the people here?"
