"Like what I’ve said, what a relationship we share!" Yun Yang shook his head as he chuckled.
"Brother Lei, you and Elder Mu rest well. This young brother will continue to search for any relevant information that may be of aid. Speaking of which, it’s a sha that I can only contribute in this aspect."
Lei Dongtian nodded and said, "Before I made this trip, I would never have thought that I would be so fortunate. Not only could I cultivate the Seven Emotions Praxis and marry two beauties, I would receive shocking news of Celestial Beings’ bones from the Four Seasons Tower in addition to gaining a good friend - a good brother like Brother Yun! Heaven is treating well, very well indeed!"
Yun Yang shared the sa sentint as he said, "I didn’t expect this either. When I first t Brother Lei, I thought Brother Lei looked unapproachable and hard to get along with. Who knew that after more interaction, we would get along so well, like we’ve known each other forever! This young brother is really lucky to know Brother Lei - this life has been well lived!"
As both of their eyes t, they chortled with tacit understanding. Their laughter was filled with the sentint of perfect coexistence and sincerity.
"What else can I ask for, when I’ve found a confidant in life?" Lei Dongtian exclaid with a grin.
"Indeed. It’s rare to find a worthy confidant!" Yun Yang exclaid as well, his feeling getting the better of him. "Brother Lei, you and I - this comradeship between us, I feel like - inauspiciously, will last until death!"
Lei Dongtian nodded slowly, "That’s right. Brothers to death!"
Beside them, Bai Yixue and Old Mu felt goosebumps on their arms.
Old Mu thought his young master behaving in an embarrassing manner; exaggeration was an understatent. It seed that his genuine feelings had gotten the better of him; the simpering tone his master was using was sowhat unbecoming!
On the other hand, Bai Yi Xue was experiencing a set of wholly different emotions, "What the f*ck… this Lei fellow - it looks like he’s gonna end up worse than , much worse. Didn’t he hear what the Yun child has said, his target points to death! Still, it’s also a joy in life if I could see with my own eyes how this bastard gets tricked into his death!"
"Sigh, Yun Yang’s deceptive skills are getting better, ascending to the peak. I’m really awed and impressed. I thought I was smart, but I was manipulated from the first eting all the way to becoming a guard… one who’s not even free to ease himself at his own will. There is a reason for all these to happen!"
Bai Yixue was utterly impressed with the skit that was being perford in front of him today. Yun Yang certainly a singularly impressive talent, which was unparalleled in this world!
…
All the way at the other end of the world, the Four Seasons Tower had begun taking action - true to the saying, they had started to subdue the world by force and bathe the martial world in blood!
On this day, at the School of Spring and Autumn - the disciples were carrying out their usual morning routines.
A cloudy fog surrounded the school gate, the place was serene and peaceful as always. The otherworldliness of the school was distinct as it stood majestically in its tranquility. So of the disciples were training with each other while others were ditating to advance in cultivation; so of them went out to find raw food materials while others were fooling around… the higher-ups of the school were in closed-door cultivation. It was a peaceful yet industrious scene.
Suddenly, there was a glowing light that pulsed in front of their gates.
The disciples who saw it thought their eyes were playing tricks on them; they glanced around suspiciously before turning away and resud their banter, ignoring the unusual sight…
At the very next mont, a majestic sword light streaked down from the clouds with a surging aura, stunning everyone on the spot.
A piercing voice that was laced with rich sword energy resounded in everyone’s ears, "School of Spring and Autumn; reputable and ho to many experts. I wonder if this formidable school can withstand a strike of my sword?"
As the voice ricocheted in everyone’s ears, a sword light shot like the sun’s rays against the school gate. With a loud boom, the sword energy erupted and flared around the steel.
The eight disciples on duty at the gate were the first to be greeted with the destructive force; before they could even scream, they evaporated into a blood mist, drifting in the air. The School of Spring and Autumn’s majestic gate was reduced to rubble, sending a cloud of dust into the air.
As the mist of blood and dust engulfed the atmosphere, a man in white, who looked like a fresh unsheathed sharp sword, strolled into the gate with arms behind his back, illuminated in blinding light. He spoke faintly, "The reputable School of Spring and Autumn can’t even defend itself against stab of my sword. What is the use then? What loss is there if we do away with it?"
Inside, the school’s disciples were running helter-skelter into hiding, fearful of the terrifying individual that had appeared. The bell was struck, its sonorous boom ringing loud and far.
"Intruder! Soone has destroyed the gate in his first attack!"
"Soone has killed our n on his way in!"
"All eight senior and junior brothers on duty have been killed…"
"The intruder is an expert, inform the elders quickly!"
"Oh no!"
It was pure mayhem as far as the eyes could see.
The man in white was dressed plainly, only the grip of his sword that stuck out on his shoulder was trimd black. His gaze towards the mayhem that gripped the School of Spring and Autumn was nonchalant as he said, "What commoners, tainting the na of one of the ten ancient sects."
He then spoke louder, "School of Spring and Autumn’s old ones, those that could defend against attacks, co out quickly to be my sword’s offerings!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
Several silhouettes flew from multiple directions amidst the flying dust. The one leading was an elder wearing a long gown; his face was grim as he waved his hand and said aloud, "Everyone, do not panic. Stop right where you are!"
The command was full of authority as the chaos froze straightaway; it was like the disciples from the School of Spring and Autumn had suddenly found an anchor as they restored order and went back to their duties.
Seeing that order had been regained, the elder moved past everyone with his eyes trained on the man in white and said guardedly, "The reputable Venerable Lord Sword of the Four Seasons Tower, why have you co to seek carnage at my School of Spring and Autumn? We have never crossed each other’s line, nor did we find fault with each other. I wonder when has my school offended your tower? Why co here, sword unsheathed to destroy my gate and kill my disciples?"
Venerable Lord Sword replied coldly, "Of course there is a reason for this reputed one to kill people here. This is only a light punishnt to warn you. If the School of Spring and Autumn can’t give a good explanation, then this won’t stop at the killing of just a handful of your disciples."
He smirked and spoke faintly, "Maybe the once renowned School of Spring and Autumn will disappear from the Tianxuan Continent… for good."
His tone was nonchalant but the threat in his words was apparent.
The elder's pupils shrunk in response, a smirk hung at the corners of his mouth. "Just a Venerable Lord Sword like you wishes to remove the School of Spring and Autumn’s na? Forgive , but you don’t seem to be as capable as that."
Venerable Lord Sword retorted, "It’ll depend on what you do to see if I’m capable or not! Let us see if your explanation is satisfactory. If this reputed one is not satisfied, you shall see for yourself if I’m capable!"
"What is the reason behind this?" The elderly were incredibly infuriated as he bellowed, "Speak, Venerable Lord Sword!"
Venerable Lord Sword stood quietly, his eyes focused on the elder standing in front of him like a venomous snake. Suddenly, the sword that was in his scabbard on his shoulder unsheathed itself with a clear cry.
An icy gleam shone upon the School of Spring and Autumn.
A chilling murderous intent surged like a tidal wave, washing over everyone on the spot. They were all aware of the malicious sword light that went sent shivers across their spine.
Venerable Lord Sword chuckled sinisterly, "A disciple of your school has joined in the battle to murder my tower’s Supre Lord Spring Frost by the Concourse of the Underworld and has contributed a great deal to their efforts. I wonder why and what is the reason behind this? Do explain."
"Help the Concourse of the Underworld? Kill Supre Lord Spring Frost?"
The elder was dumbstruck. "Why would we kill your Supre Lord Spring Frost? When did this happen? We’ve never done sothing like this! As for collaborating with the Concourse of the Underworld - that’s absurd! Ridiculous! Good and evil don’t stand together, how could we even work together?"
Venerable Lord Sword’s eyes were half-lidded as he replied indifferently, "I’m not here to ask if you’ve done it or not, I’m here for an explanation. If you can’t explain yourselves, the Four Seasons Tower’s subjugation of the world and bloodshed shall start with the School of Spring and Autumn! My options to you are limited; have you done it or not?"
An aged voice arose in a sarcastic retort, "Venerable Lord Sword is very generous indeed. The School of Spring and Sumr is almost touched by your generosity."
Venerable Lord Sword replied faintly, "You should have stepped forward long ago! Even if you did, could you change the outco of our conversation here?"
With a humorless chuckle, a middle-aged man, who appeared to be made of porcelain, appeared at the gate; his eyes watched Venerable Lord Sword as he grinned. "After so many years, Venerable Lord Sword is still as blood-thirsty and intolerant as ever."
"Indeed we’ve not t for many years. Xiao Tengkong of Spring and Autumn is still as vivacious as ever, and still as idiotic!" Venerable Lord Sword said in reply.
Xiao Tengkong smiled gently, unoffended by the insult and said, "Venerable Lord Sword, since you’re here, you are a guest. It’s better to have a clear idea of things; if there were any misunderstandings, I’m afraid that Venerable Lord Sword and the Four Seasons Tower will be the ones to explain about my dead disciples instead. Similarly, if this school’s disciples have indeed offended the Four Seasons Tower, we won’t allow them to get away scot-free. There will be no one wronged nor anyone maligned."
"Now, this is more like it." Venerable Lord Sword said, "Does your school have a disciple with the na… Wei Xinglu? The route of the secular is a dangerous one, it is difficult to keep going forward - Wei Xinglu, this is an unlucky na indeed!"
As everyone heard the specific individual's na from Venerable Lord Sword, the School of Spring and Autumn fell into a hushed silence.
Xiao Tengkong’s pupils shrunk as he replied in a soft voice, "Yes, do go on."
Venerable Lord Sword answered, "It was Wei Xinglu who ambushed Supre Lord Spring Frost and caused his downfall. The evidence is solid. If there were any doubts, he can be summoned to verify it."
Wei Xinglu? Xiao Tengkong’s eyes grew into small slits the mont he heard the na.
