Chapter 924: Shall We Start Here?

The horse-faced man was in a fit of apoplectic rage.

“Cangwu’s territory stretches for tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers! This has been the law for three thousand years – who dares disobey it?”

Inside, Yun Yang’s voice, which was dripping with scorn, replied, “Cangwu Union? The last of the ten lower class Celestial Luck Banner? Cangwu’s territory stretches tens of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers? Don’t worry, this line will soon be the past. That flag will be ours soon enough.”

A soft noise accompanied the image of a black Celestial Luck Banner that descended to the mountain gate in front of the Residence of Nine Supremes.

Green mystical Qi enveloped the horse-faced man’s body. His sword was drawn out of its scabbard as he hollered icily, “Residence of Nine Supremes’ trash! How dare you? Listen! I allow you three days to dissolve your sect and withdraw from our school’s territory! Otherwise, the Cangwu Union shall come after you! The godly army shall come and when the earth collapses, killing all of you, don’t say that we didn’t warn you!”

Before their words echoed, both men had already turned away and with a flicker of shadows, they left without a trace!

It was blatant that these fellows were not brainless men, for they did not force themselves to attack the sect. The probing attack was already a result of their full exertion, yet they could not even tickle the other party’s mountain gate. Their superiority was apparent. If their opponent were to step out, things would not end well for them.

A gentleman would never take a losing risk laid before him. Since it was destined that they would not be able to fight them, they would return quickly to their school to report this incident and gather together enough forces to eliminate it.

If they had acted recklessly, it would be undesirable if they lost their precious lives over it!

Surprisingly, Yun Yang, who was in the mountain wore widened eyes as well. Smart and sharp as he was, he did not expect this outcome.

The other party had come forth aggressively to find fault with them and had even launched a strong attack, but after a slew of harsh, threatening words, why did they, who seemed so vengeful, turn around and leave so quickly?

How could there be such a thing in this world?

Switching his train of thoughts, however, Yun Yang understood the reason soon enough. He could not help exclaiming inwardly, ‘It looks like there aren’t many fools in this martial world after all…’

Disregarding everything else, the spontaneity to react to the current situation these two fellows had was already significant. Even when they had to hold on to their anger and reluctance, they did not force themselves to take a risk.

This was how a true martial artist behaved! A genuine practitioner would never barge in aggressively and roughly into an issue and would always maintain one’s optimal state to wait for the next suitable timing.

Looking again at the illusory image of the black banner embedded before the gate, there were words fluttering on it –”Cangwu”.

As Yun Yang focused his vision to study the words, he muttered, “Cangwu… Cangwu Union… ranked last among the ten lower class Celestial Luck Banner in Eastern Celestial Court’s Sacred Heart Palace… What’s the actual force of this school?”

The episode just now was hard to be written in a stroke of a brush, but the entire process actually took only a moment; even stretching it out would not reach the time taken to drink half a pot of tea. This was also the reason Shi Wuchen and the other two had rushed here just in time to hear what Yun Yang had said. They cut in, saying, “Although Cangwu Union is recognized as the sect with the lowest ability among the ten lower class banners, one mustn’t look down upon them. From what I know, even if Cangwu’s experts don’t reach the Royal Saint level, their leader is a Saint level pinnacle. Rumors have it that this person is but a hair’s breadth away from entering Royal Saint. There are also six to seven experts of Saint level three or four, so their combined forces are… quite strong.”

Yun Yang nodded hard and replied, “Then… their overall ability is not something we can overcome?”

Lan Ruojun sighed and said, “I’m reluctant to admit it, but this is the reality that can’t be ignored. Don’t talk about us now, even if the original plan of gathering together all the Demiurge-Flawed Ten, the overall capability is still lacking by far.”

Yun Yang smiled faintly and announced, “Cangwu Union… Very well, this will be our first target!”

His gaze traveled to the intangible image of the Celestial Luck Banner before the gate and lightly grinned, saying, “I think the flag doesn’t look too bad. I quite like it.”

Shi Wuchen and the other two men exchanged looks of shock.

‘Is this for real? A sect that has just been formed for days and our boss wants to challenge Cangwu Union?’

‘Did he not hear and understand what Lan Ruojun said just now?’

“The words are out, we can’t go back, even if we don’t want to fight them… Cangwu Union has already taken us as a target. It can’t be resolved by us withdrawing now,” said Lan Ruojun, after he pondered for a while and sighed.

Yun Yang chuckled.

“That’s dispiriting. We don’t know who is whose target yet.”

“Boss, just tell us what should we do now.”

Yun Yang answered nonchalantly, “What should we do? Whatever it is, do it calmly. Let me ask you just one thing – can they break apart our guarding formation? Cultivate in peace, don’t worry about these external affairs.”

“Oh, right. There’s actually something you fellows have to do as soon as possible.”

“Don’t hurry and dive into cultivation yet. Go your separate ways and recruit people for me. The first target is what Lan Ruojun said just now; gather all the Demiurge-Flawed Ten in the shortest time possible. Then, we’ll talk about the rest.”

Yun Yang continued, “The Residence of Nine Supremes shall focus on its people first for this half of the year.”

“Alright, understood.”

“Depart on your own if you have truly understood what you are to do. Remember to disguise yourselves. It’s not yet time for us to be openly flaunting our identities. Be careful in whatever you do, don’t act recklessly. If there’s any danger, you can ask for help from the General League Commerce. They’re our secure affiliate. It’d be a waste not to use them.”

“Yes, understood.”

“Go now.”

“Boss, we’ll be going now. What’s going to happen if Cangwu Union comes?”

“Don’t worry about it. Concentrate on your task. I’ll have a solution to this.”

A sharp glint gleamed across Yun Yang’s eyes.

…

The three men left the Residence of Nine Supremes on their missions reluctantly, turning back thrice within a step. They left as if their lives depended on it.

They had never come across a place with such abundant cultivation before!

Cultivating in the Residence of Nine Supremes for half a month saw improvements that almost exceeded a concentrated cultivation effort in other places for half a year. If it were not necessary, how could they will themselves to leave?

In spite of this, they could only bid the place a short goodbye in hopes of developing their sect. Each one of them had decided to find their targets as fast as possible and return quickly afterward.

If their targets refused their requests, they would knock them out and carry them back!

Anyway, they would just leave fast and come back even faster. There was also the problem of the Cangwu Union… They would fight them right beside their boss once they returned.

They had drifted about for so many years and finally, they had this base now. How could they allow the Cangwu Union to destroy it so easily? It would not happen, even if they had to risk their lives!

Yun Yang was once again left alone in the Residence of Nine Supremes.

Looking at the familiar yet new buildings in front of him, his thoughts raced, his imagination unfolding.

Cangwu Union that had caused a commotion earlier was not at all in his regards. The cluster of buildings before him now was an expanded version of the Residence of Nine Supremes built purely from his imagination and impressions.

To Yun Yang, the Residence of Nine Supremes had always been the most important existence that could not be taken lightly.

He gazed at the nine peaks that represented the rooms of the Nine Supremes, his eyes flowing with tears.

“Brothers, let our Residence of Nine Supremes begin here, shall we?”
