Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the mask Yun Yang was wearing now was that of the Towering Wind Pavilion's master, he still stopped to complain, "The master of the Towering Wind is utterly shameless!"

Having worn black clothes and the unique mask, Yun Yang entered the Towering Wind Pavilion.

"The Pavilion Master is here!"

A flock of stewards came up to greet him; Yun Yang just harrumphed loudly and moved along. A man in white appeared in front of him almost immediately. He stood tall and proud, his face gentle and gracious, but his voice was incredibly raspy, as if his vocal cords had been severely injured, rendering him unable to speak above a whisper.

"Pavilion Master, you’ve finally appeared," the man in white said.

This was Supreme Wind’s Towering Wind Pavilion’s right-hand man - Young Master Soundless, Shui Wuyin.

Yun Yang was rather interested in this person, and even considered him someone to watch out for. It was said that this person was a cautious planner, his plans well thought through, with every possibility considered. He had much potential.

However, Yun Yang only had one question in his mind.

What do I do with Shui Wuyin now? Do I tell him that eighth brother is gone? It’s a pity to let go of such a talent but how do I make him stay?

Do I have to go on deceiving him using eighth brother’s identity?

"Wuyin, how is our profit for this current period?" Yun Yang sat on the pavilion master’s seat, his voice soft and distant.

"Not too bad." A graceful smile hung on Shui Wuyin’s face. "But Pavilion Master’s disappearance for so long had worried this subordinate. I almost absconded with the money."

Yun Yang smiled. "You wouldn't know what to do with such a small sum."

Shui Wuyin chuckled in a raspy voice and said, "Will Pavilion Master stay on longer this time around?"

Yun Yang frowned and asked, "Is there something going on?"

"Not at all. It's just that I might need to head home soon." Shui Wuyin continued, "Pavilion Master has not been around for a while, so I did not dare to leave this place unattended. Now that the Pavilion Master is back, I have to go home to take care of my affairs."

"Just put Towering Wind Pavilion’s business on hold when you go back. Reopen it whenever you’re back." Yun Yang said nonchalantly, "How much have we gained during this time? How much trouble did we encounter?"

Shui Wuyin answered, "The profit for one and a half years is approximately two billion silver taels. Net, I might add."

"Two billion taels.." Yun Yang said thoughtfully, "Send them to the bank later in exchange for banknotes, change them all to five hundred and a thousand."

"Certainly." Shui Wuyin continued, "As for trouble, Big Swell from the Mezzanine Casino opposite us finds fault with us almost every day. Since the Pavilion Master hasn’t been here for quite some time, he has managed to damage the place when he was around."

Yun Yang frowned, his gaze sharp. "He still dares to come?"

"He has not been coming recently. I’ve heard that forty to fifty of his subordinates were killed." Shui Wuyin’s couldn't help but gloat.

"Tiantang City is guarded firmly while laws are being strictly enforced.His underground prostitution racket could barely be maintained since the last time Pavilion Master almost played him to his death. Now this fellow's wealth had dwindled to a tenth of his original sum. His days have gotten harder, so he hasn’t been here in the past two to three months."

Yun Yang nodded. "Go exchange the banknotes first. I’ll go to the Mezzanine Casino later, we can’t have him always coming and not us going over. Courtesy demands reciprocity."

Shui Wuyin chuckled. "I’ve long been waiting for Pavilion Master to say that. Shall I go with Pavilion Master tonight?"

"Whatever for? You go exchange the banknotes right now!" Yun Yang gave him a glance. "I’ll head on over myself. Wouldn't it be overkill if we both went?"

Shui Wuyin gave a raspy chortle but his instincts were telling him something was amiss.

Be it the physique, speech, tone, aura, gaze, action, or behavior of this Pavilion Master before him, they were all flawless, not the slightest bit different from before. However, Shui Wuyin felt strange since the beginning of the meeting. The familiarity that had been engraved into his bones had not come from the person before him.

There were just a few hints of distance that remained.

"Boss, do you still remember my old injury?" Shui Wuyin asked suddenly.

"Your injury is not a problem at all. There will be a remedy soon." Yun Yang said, "Don’t be impatient. When you return again, I can heal it within three months."

"Thank you for the concern."

The strange feeling still lingered but Shui Wuyin no longer said anything more.

On that night. Yun Yang charged right into the Mezzanine Casino and wiped it out from top to bottom. He had long heard of the Mezzanine scamming its players and setting people up for loans. Once there was no more fortune to be acquired, they would force women into slavery or prostitution. Their crimes were abundant.

Last time, he needed this casino to be an open opponent for the Towering Wind Pavilion. Now that he needed to absorb the air of injustice and punish evil, Yun Yang had no plans to keep the Mezzanine Casino around.

He tightened his grip on the neck of the boss of the Mezzanine, Big Liu, who had a large swell on his head, the result of a brief tussle. A simple deception was sufficient to get him to pass his remaining tenth of his wealth and to gather all his men in the secret chamber.

Confirming that no one had been left out, Yun Yang began his massacre right under their terrified gazes.

The blood of the unfortunate thirty to forty people painted the secret chamber crimson. The profuse flow of air of injustice was gladly accepted by Emmie.

As Yun Yang strolled out from the secret chamber and watch its doors close slowly, he cultivated and brought the entrance crumbling down, burying the secret chamber underground.

"Let all of you be buried under the ground!" Yun Yang scoffed, a massive fortune gathered into ten gunny sacks.

When Shui Wuyin came to assist with the items, his eyes were wide and unblinking.

"Boss, did you just rob the Mezzanine?" Shui Wuyin asked in a shaky voice.

"No," Yun Yang answered.

Shui Wuyin was confused.

Yun Yang continued softly, "Henceforth, there will be no more Mezzanine Casino in this world."

Shui Wuyin was at a loss for words.

Boss, I thought you were only going to find fault with them, not wipe them out entirely!

"I guess we won’t have a fixed source of income from now on ." Shui Wuyin said sadly. "Back then, if you were a little tight, you would just head over and blackmail them. This time, however, it looks like you took more permanent steps."

Yun Yang sighed, "Unfortunately, I am in need of money now. I had to start from the top."

I have nothing to say to that.

Shui Wuyin was utterly speechless.

..

All in all, there was still an extreme difference between Yun Yang and Supreme Wind. Supreme Wind was playful towards life, he could tolerate the existence of the dark side of life while utilizing them as his tools.

As for Yun Yang, he hated evil with his all; the extermination of evil had to be thorough! It was his motto. Once any trace of evil was discovered, it had to be vanquished immediately! His tactics were efficiently brutal and it was not all because of the air of injustice needed by the Lotus of Endless Fate.

There were both pros and cons in their personalities as there were no right nor wrong.

Hailing a carriage, Yun Yang told Shui Wuyin, "I’ll take these with me. Close the doors and leave whenever you’re going home, you don’t have to inform me again."

Anything spoken now would be redundant. He could only find an opportunity in the future.

Looking at Yun Yang’s retreating shadow, the emotions in Shui Wuyin’s eyes danced and morphed. He did bother to follow, instead, he sat down helplessly, not speaking for a long, long while.

Everything and every scene since the arrival of the Towering Wind Pavilion's master were slowly replayed in his mind, resulting in a terrifying conclusion.

He felt his feet going numb, as did his mind. The dizziness that followed was an indescribable terror.

"You’re a fake."

The words finally bubbled from his throat as he looked at the empty street.

"I won’t leave now." Shui Wuyin murmured, "I’m going to find out who you are and why you are pretending to be my boss. How are you so well versed in our operations? How could you imitate my boss accurately enough to deceive me!"

"It's alright if it was the boss himself who sent you. But if you’ve harmed my boss and to take over his possession, I, Shui Wuyin, shall forever be irreconcilable with you!"

..

Yun Yang had felt Shui Wuyin's suspicion, and knew that he was beginning to doubt him. He had to leave and had no time to explain everything.

His subconscious space was beginning to turn topsy-turvy. The air of injustice from the thirty to forty people he had just killed was now showing its effects on Emmie.

The outcome was significant and Yun Yang was guessing that it was enough for Emmie to advance to its next level.

..

The carriage came to a deserted corner in the quiet darkness. Lao Mei and Fang Mofei emerged out from the dark and took the reins.

However, Yun Yang catapulted home immediately. He did not even leave behind any orders but went to his bed directly.

Meow..

The three Eclipse Panthers that Yun Yang had successfully modified and the Lightning Cat came out in a swoosh. All eight eyes sparkled as they sniffed the simmering force of life.

Yun Yang was shocked when he entered his subconscious. Although he had guessed that the extermination of evil this time could stock up a fair bit for Emmie, he did not expect to see the entire space filled with an almost solid green gas.

Facing such a rich force of life, an unusual sense of immortality wreathed itself around Yun Yang. Seeing him appear, Emmie waved its tendrils around happily, like a child boasting about its new toy.

Come look, quickly come look!

Yun Yang watched then, his gaze on the second piece of Emmie’s leaf that was slowly spreading out, its color a clear emerald.

Rays of rainbow radiance flowed about the lotus leaf as they kept changing directions..

Emmie’s tendrils had increased to four now, waving about in the air.

An odd mystical thought entered Yun Yang’s mind.

"Watch them wilt upon killing hundreds, eradicate the injustice in this world; countering evil with evil forges the heart of heaven, a pair of Lotus of Endless Fate’s leaves then complete themselves."

It was a breakthrough of the Endless Divine Art to the second stage!

Yun Yang could distinctly feel the endless green air of vitality in his subconscious charging in waves all over his body, from top to bottom and from inside to outside, cleaning him instantly!
