As both of them descended the mountain, Ling Xiaozui, Dugu Chou and Jun Moyan greeted them as they approached from the opposite direction.
When the trio saw the pair, their initially anxious expressions relaxed immediately.
“Where’s Mr. Nian?”
“Where’s the rest of the Four Seasons Tower?” The three old men asked in unison.
Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi’s safe return was a blatant hint to this battle’s outcome, but they could not avoid the doubt rising within them. They voiced it out without hesitation.
Yun Yang smiled.
“From now on, Tianxuan Continent does not have the Four Seasons Tower anymore nor does it have Mr. Nian.”
“Dead? Are all of them are dead?” The trio heaved a long, soothing sigh.
“Great!”
The shock only came a heartbeat late.
“You killed them all alone?”
As they spoke, the three experts had eyes that were as round as saucers. Disbelief and incredulity were oozing from their very gazes.
“Good luck,” Yun Yang replied with a smile, “It’s not worthy of mention.”
Jun Moyan coughed and rolled his eyes at the sky, muttering, “Oh, stop it!”
Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou were flabbergasted. Based on their estimation, the Four Seasons Tower’s manpower was formidable, despite their side gaining Jun Moyan as an added aid; it would still be a challenge for the tower to kill the veteran experts but it would be equally difficult for the latter to hold their enemy back or even charge out of the tower’s siege.
Those men of the Four Seasons Tower were superbly skilled experts, renowned for generations!
Jun Moyan shook his head rather speechlessly and said, “Since Supreme Cloud is fine, I shall bid my leave. The worldly matters have come to an end. Everyone, let us meet again in the Bound of Universe.”
He turned to leave in a dapper manner. Clad in black, he was swift to disappear, only his voice resonating from a distance.
“Raven gown, raven sword, thousands of mountains jogged, sword wielded in hand, don’t you speak…”
Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou watched Jun Moyan’s fading silhouette and chuckled simultaneously.
“This fellow is very similar to your disciple,” said Ling Xiaozui.
Dugu Chou shook his head.
“Don’t flatter me too much. I’d be overjoyed. If my disciple achieves at least half of what he had, I’d be saved from my headache. Sigh, erratic as he is, he brought up a similarly volatile student… Don’t mention it anymore, it’s a weight in the heart.”
Ling Xiaozui guffawed. He went on to ask, “Yun Yang, what’s your next course of action?”
“I plan to head to the Four Seasons Tower’s headquarters later to settle some matters, then I’ll be going to the Seven Star Lake. Then, I’ll prepare what’s needed to depart to the Bound of Universe,” Yun Yang answered honestly after a moment of pondering.
“Alright. If so, we’ll be a step earlier than you. We shall leave to the Bound of Universe today and reconnaissance for you first,” the two old men spoke simultaneously. Upon doing so, they looked at each other before breaking out into laughter.
“Very well.”
“See you in the Bound of Universe!”
“See you in the Bound of Universe!”
The two experts, like Jun Moyan, turned to leave without any hesitation.
…
They left without any worry. The Four Seasons Tower was already terminated. Given Yun Yang’s current capability, he had no contender in this world - he was truly unrivaled! What was there to be worried about?
Yun Yang went to see Fu Baoguo and gave him some simple directions as to what to do afterward. Then, he left with Ji Lingxi.
“Are you still going back to Tiantang City?”
“… Everything is fine.”
“Does Lord Supreme Cloud have any future plans?”
I’ll take a good look at this world, see if it gets better.”
Yun Yang smiled and together with Ji Lingxi, the pair vanished some distance away.
Fu Baoguo frowned, not entirely sure of the real intention behind Yun Yang’s answer.
Was he leaving anyway or had he decided to stay?
He had absolutely no idea…
In spite of this, Fu Baoguo was certain of one thing.
The legend of the Nine Supremes and Supreme Cloud would be passed down for a long time to come!
Supreme Cloud’s victory at Tianxuan Cliff was rapidly relayed back to Tiantang City. Immediately, the whole of Yutang entered a state of ecstasy; there was no household that did not know about the good news as all of them celebrated it.
Each family decorated their homes in festive lights and lit firecrackers to congratulate Supreme Cloud for chasing away the beast, Nian!
The troops guarding the borders of Yutang were immensely ecstatic upon receiving the news as well.
“All hail the invincible Supreme Cloud!”
The six words seemed to possess some magic that could weave legends. Each time the army embarked on a conquest, cheering these words seemed to enhance their combat prowess without reason. In addition to that, their enemies would look terribly disheartened!
…
The chronicle of Supreme Cloud spread across the world.
Of the four noble families, the four young masters listened to the recounting of others in excitement. Then, they returned to their houses and practiced diligently.
‘Boss, when will we be able to trail behind you again!’
In the Residence of Yun, Lao Mei, Fang Mofei, and Bai Yixue were lost for words in the midst of their fervor. Then, they practiced arduously as well.
‘Young master, we shall meet again in the Bound of Universe!’
…
A few days later, Yun Xiaoyao requested to be deployed after a lot of consideration.
‘It has been long known that Supreme Cloud is indomitably capable. There’s no need for further elaboration. However, this world will never be personally unified by him. As his father, it’s only a matter of course that I complete this on his behalf!’
The higher authority of Yutang expressed their understanding of Yun Xiaoyao’s decision and emotions.
Everyone knew that Supreme Cloud would most likely not return to Tiantang City again. His intention to retire as a recluse was clear to the world back then; now that the Four Seasons Tower had fallen, it was certain that Supreme Cloud would not make himself present in this realm anymore.
The Emperor of Yutang complied easily, appointing Yun Xiaoyao as the General Marshal, to command and lead the world’s army! Then, His Majesty declared Yu Qiankun as the royal grandson.
As the empire celebrated, Qiu Jianhan and the other kingpins understood then how powerful Yun Yang’s last words were and how much was implied within them.
“I shall see this world become better.”
This line had further set Bao’er’s already secure throne in stone!
It was also from this month onwards that Yutang truly began its domination conquest towards ruling the world.
To this day, the powerful enemies that had set eyes on Yutang had either been eliminated or weakened considerably by Supreme Cloud.
Consequently, the path to hegemony was certainly quite a fair bit smoother.
…
Concurrently, Yun Yang had arrived at the Four Seasons Tower’s headquarters.
He was not impatient at all along the journey from Tianxuan Cliff to the Four Seasons Tower’s headquarters. He practically enjoyed his travel with Ji Lingxi. Both of them did a thorough tour around the picturesque scenery of Tianxuan Continent.
As they wended their way, their relationship deepened. Ji Lingxi was all smiles; her cultivation base advanced as usual as well, increasing swiftly as time went on like there was no boundary for her. The contrast between her and Yun Yang escalated even more than before.
“Are you still dreaming these days?” asked Yun Yang.
“I still do. And they’re still as blurry,” answered Ji Lingxi, frowning with frustration.
She seemed to be trapped in the same dream during this period of time but the dream remained blurry and vague, troubling her to no end. This was probably the case when one talked about a lingering dream.
“You don’t really have to worry about it. Maybe it’s just your cultivation base. Once your level gets there, you’ll probably be able to see it clearly.”
Yun Yang comforted the girl. “Lingxi, we’ve spent so much time together now, yet I don’t seem to have seen your true appearance.”
“Do you not think that I am pretty just as I am?” Ji Lingxi retorted with a scoff.
