Chapter 361: Reentering the Residence of Supres!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was Venerable Lord Sword who had woken up. Once he regained consciousness, he imdiately swore an oath of absolute determination.

Venerable Lord Snow frowned, saying, "Of course we can’t forgo the chance for vengeance, but the source of this issue relates to the survivor of the Nine Supres. There’s a high chance it was instigated by Supre Wind… Doubts still remain, though…"

"When we catch Lei Dongtian, everything will be made clear!"

Venerable Lord Frost gritted his teeth. "Today is truly…"

He wanted to say it was truly depressing, but knowing that the source of his depression, Venerable Lord Sword, was just beside him, he swallowed his words.

"Where are our people?" Venerable Lord Snow asked uncomfortably.

"We fought for so long, why aren’t they here yet?"

"Your people?" A cold voice rang out clearly. "You have the face to ask this? Your people? If you all weren’t so impatient and attacked only when everyone was present, things would have turned out differently! How could you all have done sothing so ridiculous?"

"Lord!"

Ice, Frost, and Snow stood up imdiately while Venerable Lord Sword who was laying on the ground tried to show his respect through his expression.

No one ca in from the outside, but the unhurried voice still drifted in, "I will no longer be in charge of this. Since you’ve made a promise to them, you have to follow through. If you need help, go to the Hall of Latria yourselves. However, if there are any more mistakes, you shall bear the consequences on your own."

Inside, all four people hung their heads, with sha on their faces.

Venerable Lord Snow said, "Lord, Lei Dongtian has proven the strength of his family. If his family experts co, we might…"

There was a long silence as if the person outside was pondering the matter. After a while, four small jade bottles hovered in.

"These are Quantum Leap Pills."

The unhurried voice wafter in again. "You all are still a step behind in your cultivation bases to consu it. If you take it now, it might be damaging to your deity status in the future. However, since you are all determined to seek revenge, I shall give them to you first. Decide for yourselves what you’re going to do with it!"

There was no more sounds or noise coming from the outside. This ti, Mr. Nian had really left!

The Four Venerable Lords were all indescribably ashad. It was an extre humiliation to manage sothing so likely to succeed and have it turn out this way. It was basically due to their capabilities, luck, and characters!

Could they take offense at Mr. Nian’s mocking tone? No, they had no basis to argue about this.

Looking at the Quantum Leap Pills on the ground, Venerable Lord Snow heaved a long sigh. The long sought-after pill that they were thinking about, even when dreaming, seed to lose its usual temptation.

"Let’s speak of the serious matters first. Lord is very disappointed in us right now. We have to do sothing."

"Forget it. It’s better if we correct our attitudes and face the truth! The obvious fact right now is that we’ve exited Tiantang City. Whether it was us or our opponent who knows this, this is still a situation out of compelled mutual compromise. We, who have relatively higher prowess, are instead forced to stay in a foreign land with the eldest and ol’Fourth severely wounded. Insisting to stay in Tiantang City will undoubtedly bring us a lot of unneeded threats. It’s better to temporarily take shelter here, leaving one to take care of the eldest while another two return directly to take action in secret."

Venerable Lord Snow said, "My thought is that Ice will stay to look after the eldest. Frost and I will go back to Tiantang City to assemble our n, then send two to you so they can take care of you fellows for a carefree recuperation and recovery."

"Although the Residence of Heavenly Clouds has been destroyed, I believe that Yun Yang will rebuild it since both sides have reached an understanding. It’ll still need so ti though, so they’ll still find sowhere else to stay for the ti being. This is sothing we can utilize. It’s also the crux focal point right now. Lei Dongtian’s capability is astonishing and he even has a servant of similar prowess with him. It’s entirely possible that they appeared out of nowhere."

"Due to the restraints of our promise to Yun Yang, we can’t attack the Residence of Yun and kill this varlet but… perhaps we can use this point instead to make him let his guard down. When he leaves, we shall track him and wipe everything out, annihilating even his family in uprooting everything. This will save us troubles in the future or else there will always be a lurking threat!"

"Considering this, our unsuccessful attack wasn't exactly the worst of all. Knowing oneself and the enemy guarantees that we will erge victorious in every battle. A victory that leaves no snake in the grass is the only real victory!"

"Besides, judging by Lei Dongtian’s individual ability, I believe his family or the school he’s co from must be significant and possess an unwavering authority. Our powers may not be sufficient to tackle them. To be safe, we might need to go to the Hall of Latria."

"Of course, everything must be confird first before we find the Hall of Latria. If we reveal any incorrect information, not only will it be embarrassing, it would be a futile waste of resources."

"Therefore, we need to completely understand Lei Dongtian’s background and strengths before informing lord and the Hall of Latria. We can’t act impulsively again. Missing this once is already one too many, we won't have a second ti! Otherwise, we really won’t have any more dignity to face lord with."

Venerable Lord Ice said, "Second brother, has the lord really left?"

Venerable Lord Snow smiled faintly and replied, "Who can guess the Lord's thoughts? Since we can’t figure it out, there’s no need to make assumptions. It would only be futile and a waste of effort!"

Having served Mr. Nian for so many years, Venerable Lord Snow understood the unspoken implications very well.

Usually, when they ssed things up and made compromises to this extent, it would be inevitable that an earth-shattering rage would be incurred and an even more serious punishnt might await them. Now though, Mr. Nian was very displeased but he did not say much and had even given them the right to use the Hall of Latria.

He had even handed over the Quantum Leap Pills!

This was a treatnt that they would never be enjoying in the past!

It had already been proven that their lord must have sothing else on his mind. This, in itself, warranted their careful contemplation. If they had completed the lord’s hidden goal simultaneously, it would be a real achievent!

"There is sothing equally important. Since the lord allowed us to utilize the divine hall, it also implies that the force behind Lei Dongtian may really be hard to handle. No, in fact, Lei Dongtian’s individual skill was already terrifying - especially that strange hand-seal arcane he used. Now that I think about it, I still feel the lingering fear."

Venerable Lord Snow said seriously, "When we et him again, we must use our strongest and effective techniques at once! To jump into the fight with our fiefs."

Venerable Lord Frost nodded faintly. "That fellow's capability is indeed above ours, but as long as we cast frost and snow in a joint fief first, we can easily subdue him."

Venerable Lord Snow was still cautious, discussing combat tactics with Venerable Lord Frost for a good amount of ti while Venerable Lord Sword and Venerable Lord Ice gave ideas from the side.

The four of them did not regard their failure this ti too highly. Victory and defeat were common in the martial world battles; as long as the physical and cultivation base remained, anything could be brought back. It ant nothing to them.

What truly upset the four of them was actually Venerable Lord Sword’s injury.

It was not so ordinary wound that could easily recover. The brothers did not utter their concerns aloud, but they were worried sick internally.

As for Venerable Lord Sword himself who was the direct litigant, he was even more anxious but did not show it on his face. Only his gaze grew grimr.

"This Quantum Leap Pill…" Venerable Lord Frost spoke hesitantly.

"Keep it first." Venerable Lord Snow said, "If things co to a head, it’s not too late for us to consu it when we flee using our fiefs!"

"Alright!"

…

On the other side, Yun Yang, the splendid actor, left the inn alone quietly after placating Lei Dongtian and headed towards the Residence of Nine Supres!

It had been so ti since Yun Yang had gone there. Firstly, it was to avoid the attention of people with ulterior motives; secondly, it was also to prevent him from the grief he knew he would suffer. He had been keeping the grievance of his brothers at the bottom of his heart; if he could avoid it, it was better to evade the entire matter altogether.

However, it seed that entering the Residence of Nine Supres today was imminent!

Yun Yang had simultaneously cultivated the thods of thunder, cloud, wind, fla, and blood for the period being and had rapid improvent in all the five thods. It was even much faster than when his brothers were cultivating. In spite of this, when Yun Yang wanted to cultivate the sixth cultivation thod that was fourth brother’s Holy Water Charm, he could not even go through the first stage of the introduction thod.

It was obviously not a question of talent. In fact, since Yun Yang had gotten the gift from Kirin Fish, the water elent in him surged and his ridians had exceeded the ordinary definition of being a water physique genius! Among the various manifestation thods of the Nine Supres, including Yun Yang’s original cultivated cloud thod, nothing was more compatible with him than the Holy Water Charm. On the contrary, what was supposed to be most matching and improved the fastest could not even get past the initial stage no matter how hard he worked.

Only when Yun Yang was helped by Lei Dongtian did he leap through his improvents in addition to absorbing the hundred years of cultivation base from the ruby fruits. Only then did he experience a breakthrough and cultivated the first stage of Holy Water Charm after his deific consciousness increased by several folds.

When he was cultivating previously - cultivating wind, fla, thunder, and blood in one go, he did not feel much; he only knew that ti was tight. The earlier he could cultivate each cultivation thod, the more it would help in his plan. However, cultivating the first stage of Holy Water Charm actually gave way to a violent sense of need in Yun Yang.

It was as if the mont the water attribute in his body was triggered, it could no longer be contained, raging in turbulence and urging Yun Yang to continue cultivating to achieve the next thod.

Yun Yang was astounded by the feeling, bewildered. The feeling even grew more intense and was harder to suppress after the battle with Venerable Lord Ice.

If it was not so, Yun Yang would never be willing to step foot into the Residence of Nine Supres again. As long as he was inside, he felt terribly inadequate, like he had no dignity to face his brothers!

…

"Sotis, I wonder if you all are ever coming back when I finish learning everything? If it’s so, I’d rather all my cultivation thods go to waste and be left with not one bit of mystical Qi cultivation base!"

Standing amidst the familiar fog of the residence, Yun Yang asked softly, facing Supre Water’s door.

"Are you all waiting for the arrival of this day?"

Yun Yang murmured softly.

Only silence answered him.

"Actually, the situation today has been your intention all the while. All of you purposely hid from afar, so that I could pick up all nine manifestation thods, right?"

Yun Yang scoffed and said, "I know that all of you aren’t dead. You’re all watching from afar!"

The door was still silent.

"All the bodies were in pieces on the battlefield. I’ve searched for so long and I didn’t find your heads!" Yun Yang’s eyes were rimd red but he restrained himself, trying his best to analyze things in the best possible outco without making a fool of himself.

"I took so long, searching through all the tattered flesh and bones. I only found the eldest’s hand. It’s only losing one hand, the most you’d be a cripple, you won’t die…"

"Where are you all?"

"You’re all still alive, are you not?"

Yun Yang mumbled to himself then plopped down on the floor suddenly, disregarding his image. He cradled his head between his legs, silent tears dripping down. He took big gulps of breath, trying to calm himself down, but he could not stop the violent tremors wracking through him.

Coming here, the Supre Cloud who could manipulate everything with a flip of hand and behead the enemy amidst jokes, was gone from sight. All the calmness, the cool composure, the grace and ease, they were gone with the wind.

Yun Yang right now was only a lone child abandoned by the mass. Unspeakable desolation and forlornness filled him to the brim.

"When I finally had Sister Yue to talk to, you fellows took her away. You’re cruel. Are you fellows taking Sister Yue and Lingxi later, as well? Why don’t you take away? Leaving alone here in this world…" Yun Yang suppressed his sobs to voice his complaints.

The Residence of Nine Supres was blurry as usual, with mist surrounding it as thick fog drifted around. In the silent tranquility, there seed to be several pairs of eyes watching from sowhere.

"Sigh!"

Yun Yang’s emotions were on a rollercoaster ride. He stood up, pursing his lips and wiped away his tears. "Every ti I’m here, I can’t help complaining. Luckily there aren’t any outsiders. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if others were to see it?"

"I’m Supre Cloud, the think tank of the Nine Supres!" Yun Yang chuckled in self-depreciation.

Without further hesitation, he executed Holy Water Charm and placed his palm on Supre Water’s door.

With a loud squeak, the door opened with a gap.

Inside, it was the sa tiny personal space. Looking around, there was an extra book rack in Supre Water’s room compared to everyone else’s.

Beside the book rack, there was a small wooden figurine.

"Fourth brother’s hobby is really unique." Looking at the wooden figurine, Yun Yang could not help comnting in amusent, despite his heavy heart.

The wooden figurine was very abstract but it obviously looked like the eldest, Supre Earth, except for the fact that it was extrely ugly and looked thoroughly funny.

Supre Water’s will was left at the most obvious spot on the table, right in the center. There was a piece of jade ornant under the letter, an item that held all the consequent thods of Holy Water Charm. Below the jade ornant, an arcane object was stacked; it was most probably the introductory cultivation thod of third brother Supre Wood’s Sacred Wood Spell.

Compared to the other brothers, Supre Water’s room was exceptionally clean and neat to the point that even Yun Yang was surprised since Residence of Nine Supres rarely had any dust. Despite being left alone for so long, his table was still sparkling and bright; there was not even a handprint on the surface.

Yun Yang did not read the will first but had chosen to look at the rest of the room, like that book rack.

Staying in the room for so ti now, Yun Yang actually slled a faint fragrance. It was vague but it was there. Yun Yang could not help taking a deep breath.

"No wonder the brothers always say that fourth brother was strange. Although his actions aren’t soft and false, they aren’t the most straightforward actions. He rarely plays close to anyone when we’re together too, only to eldest brother. I didn’t expect his room to be so different too. He even sprayed perfu!"

The more he looked at the book rack, the more Yun Yang’s gaze beca curious.

The books were mostly dical books. It looked ordinary, comprised of a wide range and variety at most, but looking carefully, the dical information these books contained mostly focused on females.

"Could it be…" Yun Yang’s eyes were wide.

Supre Water’s will was finally in Yun Yang's hands.

His eyes were greeted by pretty and neat handwriting. It could be seen that Supre Water had written the letter seriously. Other brothers used only a piece of paper, explaining and asking things in re words, while Supre Water’s letter was five full written pieces of papers.

"No matter which brother you are, I believe I’m no longer in the human realm when you read this letter. Our brothers are all amazing but if I have to ntion who I wish to read my letter the most, there’s only one person."

"I hope that this person is ol’Ninth."

Yun Yang’s heart skipped a beat.

"ol’Ninth is ticulous with his thoughts and impeccable with how he does things. He’s the most cautious and most resilient one among us brothers. I’d be the most assured passing my post-death matters to ol’Ninth. If this were read by other brothers, it’s no big deal. You’re all people I’m the most relieved by."

Yun Yang stroked his nose, an unamused smile on his face.

Supre Water had used two words here - assured and relieved.

Passing it to Yun Yang, he was the most assured.

Passing it to other brothers, he was the most relieved.

This was obviously very preferential treatnt.

Yun Yang felt an inexplicable exclamation suddenly. If it had not been him who had opened this will today but the other brothers, would that elder one wallop him - where do I lack compared to ol’Ninth? Why must you be assured if it’s him?

Thinking of this, a sense of aggrieved resentnt rose in his heart. If it had really been so, he would have been willing to be walloped tens or thousands of tis, and enjoy it!

"My na is Shui Bingqing." It was written clearly in Supre Water’s will, "Reading this, you must have realized that yes, I am a girl."

Yun Yang was stunned.

A girl!

Fourth brother Supre Water was actually a female!

His fourth elder brother was actually… fourth elder sister?

Yun Yang would never have imagined such a huge secret even if he cracked his head thinking about it.

After all, fourth brother Supre Water’s usual image in Yun Yang’s knowledge was rough and loud, the mannerisms coarse and ungainly. While his actions were… a little soft and deliberate, it was still a rough man’s fa?ade. He was a little short but he still looked strong and stout.

No characteristics above could relate him being a female!

Knowing the point now though, Yun Yang could not help recalling the nurous doubts when they were together. It was true that Supre Water’s body would look different sotis; he was thinner during certain tis while looking more muscular during others. Thinking of it now, Supre Water must have used certain tactics to disguise her identity using the size of physique. In other words, fourth brother… fourth sister… did not actually show her real face in front of the brothers.

"I’m an innate Pulseless Water Pneuma and have been easily sick and weak since I was young. Those with Pulseless Water Pneuma will rarely live past thirty years old. I’m twenty-seven years old now, it’s fate. I’m indignant but I have no regrets!"

"When I was eight, I t my master by chance. It’s the first pivotal point in this life of mine. Master’s passed on the Art of Orenda Water to and that allowed to stay alive and even enter the path of cultivation. Although my initial cultivated thod can’t erase the hidden threat of Pulseless Water Pneuma, it maintained my health. When I was twenty-one, becoming one of the Nine Supres beca the second pivotal point of my life. Upon cultivating water manifestation thods, my innate Pulseless Water Pneuma actually beca a blessing in disguise. Not only did my improvent grow rapidly, I don’t have a death threat hovering over . In spite of this, I keep sensing that I can’t pass the age of thirty, despite avoiding the fate of Pulseless Water Pneuma…"

"I don’t know when this life will end but for soone who’s supposed to be dead yet is still alive from sheer luck, I’ve gained too much. Even when I have no regrets, I have other concerns still. Other than us brothers, there are two more people - one is my husband and another is my son."

Yun Yang who had read this part was shocked.

Husband and son!

Supre Water actually still had a husband and son.

"How have I never found out about this huge secret? It’s so shocking! Fourth sister, you’ve hidden it so well! Young brother is impressed! I wonder what kind of bastard has actually deserved this water lotus of my fourth sister. When I et him in the future, it’s only right I make things difficult for him first!" Yun Yang scratched his head, an indignation of his own sister being taken by so man filling him.

"When I’ve passed then, I believe my husband will follow too… my husband is our elder - Supre Earth!"

Reading to this point, Yun Yang felt an mini explosion go off in his head. The doubts surrounding him were resolved at once and disappeared entirely.

All the unusual occurrences…

"My identity isn’t a secret to the eldest right when I was selected to join the Nine Supres. In the two years that followed, we gradually got to know and love each other and even beca one three years ago… This bond can’t be shown in front of others nor can it be known by the brothers but it’s an imnse fortune to be able to be by each other’s side all the ti. The heart is content and joyous."

"Still, I feel remorse and guilty for keeping this from us brothers, so I’ve buried nine hundred pots of celebration wine under the old residence. I wish for the day, to be honest with our brothers and drink to our heart’s content."

"I know his identity. He is the crown prince of Yutang, but I’m not bothered by it. To , he’s only my husband. In this life, other than being the Nine Supres, he is my husband. That is all."

"I am truly blessed, much more so than most of the won in this world. In addition, the few years being in the Nine Supres was the happiest tis of my life. Even writing a will like this, I’m writing it happily."

"To the brother reading my letter now, I have only one request; it’s also the last wish of my life! My son. He’s only one year old this year. I hope you can take care of him well, bring him up as your own."

"The one I wronged the most in this life is my son. As one of royal blood, he doesn’t get to enjoy any privileges that co with it. As a child with parents, he didn’t get any love from them. As the descendant of the Nine Supres, he can’t show it in front of anyone forever."
