Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Mr. Nian reached this point, he heaved a long sigh, finally unable to hold it in.
“Originally, with the Four Seasons Tower’s forces expanding their infiltration deeper into Yutang, I expected this to cause more disruption for the Nine Supres. However, as more n of the Tower infiltrated Yutang, the providence of the Nine Supres blossod even more. These bizarre circumstances made even more helpless than ever, for this situation only justified that regardless of who I sent over, they would only contribute to Yutang’s power and increase the providence of the Nine Supres. For all we knew, the man could be a spy who fostered malicious intent to Yutang, yet the outco would be entirely opposite.”
“The providence of the Four Seasons Tower inevitably grew weaker by the mont. However, God’s Grave was easier to enter after my plans were in motion, and relatively, God’s Bones were easier to obtain. This only proved that the strategies I formulated were useful after all.”
“Hence, the key to the survival of both parties lied in whether or not I could eradicate the Nine Supres at the root if I could put an end to the possibility of them ascending to the Nine Heavens.”
Mr. Nian continued, “At this point, I believe that with Lord Supre Cloud’s impeccable wisdom, you should understand the history of everything by now, right?”
“Yes, I understand — I understand everything now!”
“It’s a sha that this affair did not just end here — there was so much more to it,” Mr. Nian laughed bitterly.
“I conspired with Dongxuan and orchestrated the battle at Tianxuan Cliff. Dongxuan sent their military personnel to aggravate the situation, forcing the Nine Supres to show up and assist in the battle; we also planted our n within your ranks to be updated on the Nine Supres’ every move. In the end, all of you made your way up to Tianxuan Cliff to ambush Dongxuan, walking right into our trap. Well, you, Supre Cloud, were one of the key individuals involved in this matter — so there is no need for to go on further.”
“Precisely after that battle that wiped out eight Supres — the battle in which you, Supre Cloud, miraculously survived — the providence of the Four Seasons Tower suddenly experienced an overwhelming transformation. Our providence escalated instantly, increasing almost ten-fold, reaching heights even beyond the ti of our most prosperous reign in the past!
Mr. Nian continued, nonchalantly. “From that point on, mbers of the Four Seasons Tower found that their providence and cultivation bases experienced growth and improvent; only those… those who were deployed to finish you off did not experience such an effect.”
“Supre Cloud, who was the only one left, was never found — so it can’t be said that we’ve completed our job.”
Yun Yang was suddenly hit by a mont of epiphany. “So the reason that you allowed those n to purposely expose themselves was to have help you eliminate them — just to have their providence return to the Four Seasons Tower, and to prevent your own from draining away?”
“Of course it wasn’t just that. My bigger wish was to reach my goal by following the breadcrumbs, to know who Supre Cloud is — he who had concealed himself for the longest ti — and put an end to this, once and for all. However, it’s a sha that Lord Supre Cloud appears to be a little too vigilant.”
“Quite the contrary, when the providence of these n was returned, the providence for the rest of the Tower’s forces blossod even more. It was especially useful in nurturing God’s Bones. The surging providence improved the coalescence between God’s Bones and the human body by a large degree, making the union even more compatible. Thus, I concluded that as long as we have a sufficient amount of providence, all of the twelve sets of God’s Bones would eventually be in the Tower’s possession one day.”
Yun Yang frowned. “I don’t understand. It’s not that I don’t understand what you’re saying — I just find the logic behind your statents hard to digest.”
Mr. Nian chuckled bitterly. “I have not figured out that particular part myself. Those who perished were all my n of the Four Seasons Tower, yet why did they get embedded into Yutang’s providence after they went to Yutang — regardless of how they had malicious intent, regardless of being spies, or how they had caused harm to the nation and its people?”
“Or perhaps these n — after basking in the providence from the other side — could still possess such an effect even if their providence was returned to the Four Seasons Tower after their deaths… I can’t seem to understand this part even more.”
Mr. Nian uttered. “Eventually, I resigned myself to acknowledge it as the wondrous mysteries behind the Residence of Nine Supres. This, perhaps, could be an opportunity or a favorable developnt.”
“The Four Seasons Tower, you were against us because of this very reason…” Yun Yang murmured, sighing softly.
“Now I’ve finally understood everything.”
Mr. Nian smiled. “Whatever you understood was only half of it. As for the other half, you’ll know the answers once you enter God’s Grave if you win the battle today. However, if you lose, well — there’s nothing much to say about it.”
Mr. Nian straightened his body and glanced at Yun Yang. “Now, it is my turn to question you!”
“Please speak. Whatever that I can answer, I will answer everything to the best of my capabilities without holding back,” Yun Yang replied calmly.
“Being able to talk openly with one’s sworn enemy before a deathmatch will truly render people like you and with no regrets, whether we live or die.”
Mr. Nian burst out in laughter.
“First of all — how did you manage to hide your identity as Lord Supre Cloud? We’ve investigated the backgrounds and identities of the Nine Supres to the best of our capabilities, be it pre- or post- battle at Tianxuan Cliff. Sohow, our efforts amounted to nothing. If it wasn’t for the lingering lifeforce of the Nine Supres after that fateful battle, this reputed one would’ve thought that we have completely eliminated the Nine Supres. Supre Cloud — Yun Yang — you are a man whom the Tower has dealt with the most, yet you could still co this far, maintaining your anonymity without leaving the slightest trace — impressive, indeed!”
“Secondly, what is the mystery behind the Residence of Nine Supres? Or perhaps I should say — what are the secrets behind it? Till this day, there shouldn’t be any more questions shrouded with more secrecy than this!”
“Is that all the questions you want to ask, Mr. Nian? These two are essentially the sa question,” Yun Yang replied calmly.
“Oh?”
“Honestly, Supre Cloud has never tried to hide from the Four Seasons Tower. I was always in plain sight.”
Mr. Nian grimaced. “It was precisely this point that had to cause a terrible outco like this today!”
“After the battle at Tianxuan Cliff, I noticed that the lifeforce of the Nine Supres was weak, but still not completely erased. From my queries with Gu Chaliang and the rest, I realized soone among the Nine Supres had managed to escape from the clutches of death. Using the lingering traces of lifeforce as our lead, we manage to track and pinpoint your location to be in Tiantang City. We’ve inspected almost every person in Tiantang City, barely leaving anyone out, and that includes you.”
Mr. Nian was clearly feeling perplexed regarding the decision made on that fateful day and its unimaginable outco. He reiterated, “In truth, you — the infamous Young Master Yun who had an incredibly low cultivation base — were among the first batch of suspects to be eliminated…”
Yun Yang spluttered. He could not help but feel amused at Mr. Nian’s theory.
He certainly did not expect to be among the firsts to be ruled out from the list of suspects based on Four Seasons Tower’s intelligence…
How did this God-like logic co about?
Notoriety and the infamy of being a well-known fop was not the greatest way to conceal one’s identity. You couldn’t say that this was a fault from coincidentally being in the blind spot!
“In this particular aspect, the Four Seasons Tower had truly conducted an enormous error of judgnt!”
Mr. Nian heaved a heavy sigh. “If it wasn’t for that, we wouldn’t have gone easy on you, allowing you the opportunity to start afresh and steer away from your dood fate … perhaps, this entire farce would’ve ended way earlier, and the outco would’ve transford into a completely different one.”
“During the first round of inspection, all the well-known young masters of Yutang — like the young masters of Spring, Sumr, Autumn and Winter households respectively, and Yutang’s king of all fops, ‘good-for-nothing’ Young Master Yun — were eliminated foremost. Back then, Lord Supre Spring Frost was personally in charge of that inspection — he was the one who personally listed down the first batch of suspects to be ruled out… sigh!”
“You — you good-for-nothing Young Master Yun Yang — you were number one on that list. Which also ant… in the eyes of He Hanqing back then, you were the most unlikely person to be Supre Cloud!”
“In retrospect, that decision seed painfully absurd and ridiculous, doesn’t it? It was simply the most aggravating decision ever made!”
