Chapter 589: Move to My House!

Ling Xiaozui clearly fared better than he had earlier. Hearing Gu Chaliang's words, he could be certain that Yun Yang was indeed fine. That would do, the rest of the message was not important!

While he was relieved, he was also absolutely confused. Mr. Nian had arrived in such a dramatic manner, but he had made such a ridiculous mistake in the end! This was preposterous, it was humiliating!

On the other hand, Yun Yang was guessing that it was either the Endless Divine Art or Emmie that had saved him from the effects of being struck. Yet, why had such a situation not taken place before?

When he fought He Hanqing in the past, the unexpected event had caused him to be severely injured and had almost killed him. The danger was no lesser than today's threat, but why had such a similar situation not happened then? It was a point worth pondering.

Yun Yang's guess was correct. If Mr. Nian had used brute force, he would have become minced meat now. It was the soft, vile, art that Yun Yang was naturally immune to.

It was the Endless Divine Art. Just like its name, it was endlessly divine. No matter how the four seasons changed, his vitality was endless. It was ineffective against him because he kept growing; he could vanquish the soft, vile, power. He was simply in no danger of dying!

Mr. Nian only knew about Gu Chaliang's incredible use to him, which led him to threaten the experts like he had. If he had known that Yun Yang was Supreme Cloud, he would never have done so!

It was too bad that he had no idea of the truth!

..

"Since we are certain that Young Brother Yun is alright, we have three days to scrutinize the Spirit Breeze Mountain stratagem.. let us go along with the scheme!"

Ling Xiaozui's eyes sparkled as he said, "Everyone, if we don't plot a stratagem, it would seem like we were sorry to our two uninvited guests today.."

"That is a good idea." The other three were in high spirits upon hearing the suggestion.

"Let us.. so and so.. like this.. that.." Ling Xiaozui rattled off his ideas joyfully, "I think we can chop off an arm of the Four Seasons Tower, no matter what happens!"

The other three cheered in agreement.

Yun Yang breathed out in relief and said, "Dear elder brothers, since you've discussed this important matter, should you put the minor ones on the agenda as well? It would be poor taste for the four of you to stay in this inn; it makes this young brother, your host, feel bad. Why not move to my residence? What do you think?"

Gu Chaliang was the first to agree. "Good, good. It's too dangerous to stay here. The security in a king's residence is better, it would be more comfortable too."

Ling Xiaozui glared at Gu Chaliang with a hint of exasperation and uncertainty.

Why was this Heaven's Inquisition, who was said to be omnipotent, acting so abnormally since he emerged? It should be the first time he and Yun Yang had met; they had never seen each other nor known each other prior to this! In addition, Yun Yang was a junior - it did not make sense for Heaven's Inquisition, who struck fear in the world, to be so cautious.

The fact, however, remained that Heaven's Inquisition had agreed to whatever Yun Yang said since he had met the latter! He had conceded to all of Yun Yang's suggestions.

Come to think of it, his comments about Yun Yang earlier were extremely flattering as well.

Everything seemed to be tinged with a sense of peculiarity.

What was wrong with this man? Could he be more absurd?

A strange thought suddenly occurred to Ling Xiaozui.

'According to the interaction and conversation between Heaven's Inquisition and Mr. Nian, it can be understood that he was kept a prisoner and tormented by Mr. Nian. However, if they were to belong in the same group and had a fallout due to certain reasons, it would explain the current situation as well. What's more, is it not impossible that Heaven's Inquisition himself was from the Four Seasons Tower?'

'Still, it doesn't look like it.'

Feng Xiange wore a slight frown and replied, "To stay in the king's residence.. might not be a convenient arrangement.."

He came from the Empire of Ziyou after all. The initial intention of his trip was to find fault with Yutang's guardian, Supreme Cloud. Even without this purpose now, he could not bring himself to stay in the residence of the Empire of Yutang's King Xiaoyao at such short notice.

Gu Chaliang retorted, "You have given up on finding Supreme Cloud anyway, what else can be done with your woes? What inconvenience? It's a great convenience! Say, Old Feng, have you not enjoyed the king and marquis' life of extravagance? It's comfortable! Extremely comfortable!"

"You'll never know it if you have not experienced such enjoyment in this world. You're already old, the burial soil has reached your chin. If you don't let loose and savor the final moment's happiness, isn't it a waste to live? Come, let's go!"

Feng Xiange was furious, glaring and huffing so hard that his beard trembled.

'Why is the burial soil up to my chin? I may not live long, but I have decades more to spend at least.. You - what are you talking about?'

"I don't mind going anywhere," said Dugu Chou.

As both Ling Xiaozui and Gu Chaliang agreed to the suggestion, it was Dugu Chou's indifference which determined that the quartet would move to Yun Yang's home! Feng Xiange's hesitation was no longer important nor meaningful.

Yun Yang was, of course, delighted.

Moving these four immortals to his residence meant that he could breathe easier. Would he have to be fearful of the Four Seasons Tower's unpredictable ability? His delight showed in his enthusiasm, "Great! Let's go right now! This young brother will take care of all of you when we arrive home!"

..

At midnight, Yun Yang welcomed all four experts to the Residence of Yun, breathing a sigh of relief after arranging for them to stay in one of the houses.

After all, the status of these four living Gods was too high. The ruckus caused by moving during the day would be too big; it was better to slip in during the middle of the night to avoid rumors. Of course, there was also Yun Yang's discreet thought to hide his true force.

With these four people staying with him, how could there be no one coming to ambush them? He had to exploit the experts to their maximum potential!

'I was only thinking to go and see if I could make any acquaintances, to borrow some power, so that any future plans can be accomplished with ease. Even if the collaboration barely comes to fruition, I'll have to figure out the reason they've come to Tiantang City, lest the blame comes back to me when the truth cracks in the future.. I didn't expect to take everyone into my residence. How unexpectedly perfect!' Yun Yang contemplated to himself.

Dugu Chou inhaled deeply as he stood in the yard and said, "The air here.. the spiritual Qi seems to be richer than any other place I have been to! Hmm, much richer."

"That's right. Even the sacred places of cultivation that are more reputed would feel the same. Cultivating here would bring a lot of benefits, almost cutting the work by half," agreed Ling Xiaozui.

Feng Xiange and Gu Chaliang had entered the room to discuss some personal matters, leaving the two of them to inspect their living conditions.

One might think that masterly cultivators had no requirements for their living place, but the truth was that their requirements were often higher than that of a common man. It was of the utmost importance that their accommodation had relatively rich spiritual power, so it was often a popular choice to stay a recluse in the mountains.

The more populated a place was, the more diluted the spiritual Qi would be.

Secondly, it would be the best if their meals consisted of spiritual ingredients. Those would naturally be what Yun Zuiyue had prepared for Yun Yang in the banquet. Under normal circumstances, however, just a tiny bit of the food from that banquet would require a cultivator's lifelong savings. No matter what force of background one had, no cultivator could afford to consume spiritual ingredients in every meal every single day.

Yun Yang was indeed lucky, to have been able to eat so many exquisite dishes in just one meal.
