Chapter 806: Three Days Later!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Well, if you are willing to stay, then, by all means, stay as you wish. When the fighting begins, the aftershocks on its own would kill quite a number of people. If you’re not afraid of death, do you think we would be concerned about killing you…by accident? We really don’t mind!
However, nothing occurred even after a few days of waiting. The Four Seasons Tower finally lost their patience.
They sent out somebody to scout for information.
The scout took off immediately, searching and combing through the grounds frantically. After venturing for almost a third of the entire journey, he finally found Yun Yang making his way on the path below, strolling leisurely.
With that speed, one could only cover a few hundred miles in a day at most. With one-third of the entire distance remaining, ten or more days would still be required to complete the journey. The most infuriating matter, however, was the fact that he clearly had a rare, noble steed beside him which he did not mount, but chose to only walk with the leash in hand!
The expert from the Four Seasons Tower almost gagged from rage upon the sight that greeted him.
We were waiting for you back there, one whole big group of us, waiting, expecting… and here you are, wielding a horse in one hand and a lass in the other, taking your time… pray, tell, are you walking your horse or womanizing? It doesn’t seem like you’re in a haste to show up at all!
At this moment, Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi had just gotten up a hill, standing atop to marvel at the majestic scenery of rolling clouds beyond the horizons. Suddenly, they heard a strange noise from above the skies.
Like a meteor, the man in black descended, the noise from his gestures not deliberately minimal.
The incoming person gave the two of them an incredulous stare. “Sir Supreme Cloud, what is the meaning of this?”
From the tone of his voice, he was clearly from the ranks of the Four Seasons Tower.
Yun Yang rolled his eyes. “Pray tell, what is the problem?”
“Everybody agreed to meet at Tianxuan Cliff after three days to settle this once and for all, yet here you are, Supreme Cloud, miles away from our rendezvous point — what is the meaning of this?” The man in black raged on. “Perhaps Sir Supreme Cloud has forgotten about this appointment?”
Yun Yang replied, in a matter-of-fact tone. “How could I forget about it? Of course, I would remember the meeting that I’ve set up myself. My memory is most certainly better than yours — you’re being overly paranoid, good sire!”
The man in black roared, “Then why are you still here? A man should walk the talk , a man without integrity does not carry himself well! I can’t believe that Sir Supreme Cloud would go back on his word — that he is someone who would simply toss his words around!”
“Me, going back on my words? Good sire, your accusations are going a little too far, aren’t they?” Yun Yang mused.
“Sir Supreme Cloud, including today, you’ve already missed the appointed date by a full nine days! We agreed to meet three days later, yet now— now it’s the twelfth day, is it not? How would Sir Supreme Cloud explain himself?”
“Well, you see… I am aware that I’ve promised to meet three days after… well now… is this not three days after?” Yun Yang replied casually.
“I beg your pardon?”
“Be it the twelfth day after… or the thirteenth day after… they all fall beyond the three-day-after agreement, don’t they? I do remember this agreement — how dare I not? Whichever day it is after those three days, however… it should be decided by me — the one who instigated this meeting — and not you, shouldn’t it? This is the fact of the matter, whatever self-justification you call it — this is how it should be since the start, should it not?”
The man in black almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His body shaking, he gritted his teeth and replied seethingly, “Shameless, utterly shameless! Such audacity! I can’t believe that the Nine Supremes would have such a shameless descendent like you — this is madness and utterly infuriating!”
“You lot are the uncultured ones here, misinterpreting my words and waiting like idiots at a corner — who else is there but yourselves to blame? Here you are, trying to turn the situation around by blaming me, instead! How dare you! Why do you look so riled up? Would you like to teach me a lesson? Then get down here — I’m waiting,” replied Yun Yang nonchalantly.
The man in black heaved in laborious breaths, his eyeballs almost popping out of his sockets. Getting himself down there to engage in a deathmatch with Yun Yang… what kind of joke was this!
The cultivation bases of Yun Yang and this young lady was immeasurably high — it’ll be suicide for me to go down there on my own.
Do you really think I’m an idiot?
I might be fuming to the point of death, but I still value my humble life!
The man in black held his breath. “So, according to Sir Supreme Cloud’s logic… three years after is still considered to be a valid date within the ‘three days after’ limit? Is this what you mean?”
“You are correct. You’ve turned so intelligent suddenly — what promising potential you have in you!” Yun Yang replied calmly.
The man in black was at lost for words, completely overwhelmed with rage.
To encounter such a shameless person, especially in such undebatable circumstances…
What should I do?
What can I do?
To his relief, Yun Yang continued, “Well it’s a shame that our meeting has been established to not drag on for that long — now, how can I let you lot live for another three years? Please wait patiently for a little longer, I’ll be heading there straight ahead. There is not much of the journey left, so don’t be hasty. One more thing I’d like to call you out on — please, remain calm in face of unexpected things. Allow nature to take its course!”
At the verge of breaking down, the man in black could feel his liver imploding.
“Convey this to Mr. Nian upon your return — to accomplish great things, one must possess immeasurable patience! Now that there is still time, you lot could probably work on refining your soul-controlling formation. Try your very best to survive and savor your final days — I am purely thinking on your behalf! When the day of the battle arrives, your souls shall be on their way to the afterlife by dawn — there will no longer be another chance for you to have a taste at life!”
The man in black did not waste another breath more. He transformed into a mass of darkness and took off at a speed faster than the one he arrived with.
He could not stay here any longer.
If Yun Yang were to speak a single word more, the man in black felt that his internal organs would rupture without Yun Yang even raising a finger. He could meet his end right here and now — he could really die from all this wrath!
“What a shame!” Yun Yang and Ji Lingxi mused simultaneously.
If this fellow had lashed out impulsively in a moment of fury, how wonderful would that be!
If Ji Lingxi were to step forward and activate her red gleam as a form of retaliation, that fellow would have been annihilated from being exposed to it just once. That would be equivalent to lopping off one of Mr. Nian’s prized limbs — so why not?
However, this fellow was unexpectedly gritty — he chose to flee at the spur of the moment.
“If I remember correctly if we walk straight ahead, the scenery after this valley is superb. There is ice and snow on one side, while the other side is filled with flowers in full bloom — an incredible, awe-inspiring sight.”
“Really? Really? Let’s go! Let’s go there quickly — we shouldn’t miss such beautiful scenery.”
Upon Yun Yang’s comment, Ji Lingxi felt incredibly elated. She held Yun Yang and ran towards that direction.
Reddie snorted, and followed them begrudgingly.
As for this chap who came after him at full speed, even after he had left Tiantang City for a good thousand miles — Yun Yang was feeling completely helpless.
Stroking its mane, Yun Yang mulled. “Oh, Reddie… after these few days, I have to leave… say, what will become of you?”
Reddie snorted and gave Yun Yang a few warm licks which were filled with indescribable emotions.
Yun Yang sighed.
In the span of these few days, Yun Yang had combed through Reddie’s meridians countlessly and fed it with many precious minerals he brought along with him. He had even squeezed out half a bowl of his own blood essence for it to consume.
Yet, the only outcome was this — this chap seemed to grow even more inseparable from him as the days went by.
Yun Yang could not make a decision when it came to this fine, psychic steed.
What should be done?
Set it free and let it return to the wild?
Or… stay on the battlefield?
If he were to bring Reddie along with him and leave this world behind — would it even be possible?
