Chapter 550: Here Comes The Chance

The crimson words disclosed plenty of information.

The case seemed to have finally revealed hints of cause and effect.

It was actually the Four Seasons Tower's experts who had a major conflict with the Hall of Crimson Blade.

However, this was a martial world matter. Why was it related to the prince and had reached the extent of becoming an utter annihilation?

Despite how vague the truth was, the entire case had still huge waves in the capital city. The biggest question on everyone's mind was - why were there so many assassins hidden in the fourth prince's house? Taking the question a step further - what did the fourth prince intend to do?

The emperor was beyond furious, summoning the fourth prince to the palace at once, and berated him; His Majesty grounded the prince, chasing him out of the palace and restricted him to the prince's residence for three years.

When the fourth prince came out, his face was pale but his gaze was extremely vicious.

That day, the rest of the Hall of Crimson Blade's experts who were still in Tiantang City seemed to have received some sort of order as they withdrew from Tiantang City entirely.

Seeing their enemy retreat, Sword, Snow, and Frost relentless pursued them, always hot on their heels.

The experts at the Residence of Yun were nonchalant regarding the situation while the other top-notch experts in Tiantang City were powerless to do anything. They could only watch them come and go without being able to do anything.

"What should we do?" Shui Wuyin sent a message.

In Shui Wuyin's opinion, they should not be mere bystanders. Once such an incident became the norm, it would form an illusion that just about any top-notch experts could run amok in Yutang's capital and Yutang would be powerless against them. Such a serious issue must not be taken lightly.

Yun Yang naturally understood the complication behind this situation, heading to the underground right away.

In the secret chamber, Yun Yang told King Qinguang, "Here comes our chance."

King Qinguang perked up. "What chance?"

"The situation's changed now. The Four Seasons Tower's three Venerable Lords are pursuing the Hall of Crimson Blade now," Yun Yang's gaze shone. "This time, the three Venerable Lords have gone up against the hall under the tower's name. In other words, the Hall of Crimson Blade is about to be annihilated, just like your concourse."

"What do you mean?" First Court King Qinguang frowned.

"No matter what the Hall of Crimson Blade has come here for, their situation right now is very dangerous. They could become the next Concourse of the Underworld at any time." Yun Yang said in a low voice, "At the very least, the Four Seasons Tower's experts, within thousands of miles in perimeter, are still under the Venerable Lords' instruction."

"Therefore, this is a reality that is bound to happen to most of the people!"

"At this moment, I think there's a need for a league to exist."

Yun Yang uttered his words slowly.

"A league?"

King Qinguang was confused.

"That's right, a league!" Yun Yang nodded firmly. "First, it provides us assistance. Second, it provides us a chance to infiltrate their inner workings. Such information is what we urgently need now."

First Court King Qinguang nodded slowly, his eyes growing brighter.

"Actually, I'd love to pull in The Merciless Tower too. That would be best," Yun Yang chuckled.

"This is a little difficult," First Court King Qinguang replied with a frown. He pondered before continuing, "But we can try. Let me discuss with my brothers later and see if there's any room to work things out."

"Yes, do try. If it really can't work out, I can think of other ways too." Yun Yang wore a mysterious smile.

First Court King Qinguang rolled his eyes, thinking, "We're already out of ideas, what alternative great plan could you possibly have?"

"How are the Yama Kings' recovery coming along?" asked Yun Yang.

"Thanks to your spiritual medicine, most of them are fine now. Seven of my brothers have already recovered about eighty to ninety percent of their combat power, so they can take on most battles now." King Qinguang sighed, "It's just that my master's injury that doesn't seem to have improved much."

Yun Yang could only reply with silence. This matter was not one that could be helped as of now.

The higher a person's cultivation base was, the harder it was for that person to be injured. Even if there was an injury, it would easily heal. However, it was also for people like this, that once they were severely injured in the most vital parts of their life force, it would be much harder for them to recover, almost always ending up unhealable.

Before the deific consciousness space could be recovered and the connection with Emmie reestablished, this was the limit of the help that Yun Yang could provide.

Speaking of medicine, he thought about Lei Dongtian again and could not help sighing to himself.

What a great person Lei Dongtian was, giving away anything he was asked of. Other than being a little stupid, his utilization value was rather high, especially when he wanted to take on Yun Yang as his cauldron, how amazing! Why was there no news about such a great person after such a long time?

Yun Yang lamented, missing Young Master Lei who had been gone for some time.

"Speaking of which, Young Master Yun's mystical method is truly remarkable. It can actually soothe our master's condition and maintain his current state, preventing it from becoming more aggravated. It's really a blessing among these past disasters."

First Court King Qinguang thought about his master's injury and continued in a grateful voice, "As long as he's still alive, there's a chance. We'll see if there is any fateful encounter in the future or perhaps we could look for a treasured gem and resources to see if they're effective."

"It's already exceeded our expectations to see that his life is not in any immediate threat anymore."

King Qinguang left looking jolly. The Concourse of the Underworld had not been doing well recently and was always faced with the threat of extermination, which understandably filled the first court king with endless woes. Now that he knew the Four Seasons Tower, that was the culprit to all his woes, had made an enemy out of the Hall of Crimson Blade, it was really good news. Furthermore, if the subsequent cooperation worked well, it might result in the collaboration of the world's top three assassin organization against the Four Seasons Tower. This is why King Qinguang was so joyous.

Yun Yang, who watched King Qinguang leave, on the other hand, went into a state of deep contemplation. His emotion was the complete opposite of King Qinguang's joy, as his brows locked into a frown.

Yun Yang carefully calculated the combat power of their side versus their enemy, discovering that his side did not lack impressive combat power at all. The highest cultivation base among the Concourse of the Underworld's ten Yama Kings had already reached the third level in the realm of Dao while the lowest was also already the ninth heaven. It was an undeniable fact that their combat power was indeed remarkable.

As for the Residence of Yun, Bai Yixue was at the eighth heaven, Fang Mofei at the sixth heaven, Lao Mei at the fifth heaven while Marquis Yun, who had advanced leaps and bounds despite still behind Bai Yixue, was also already at the seventh heaven.

In retrospect, Yun Yang himself was only at the fourth heaven, the weakest among them all.

Yet it did not seem appropriate to say that Yun Yang was the weakest. There was still Ji Lingxi, who had just ascended to the first heaven after all.

Combining these forces with the intelligence web that Shui Wuyin had constructed, their capabilities could already wipe out most of the forces existing in this world. However, such great force was still not guaranteed a chance of winning when they actually faced the Four Seasons Tower.

Even when the tower's three Venerable Lords were slightly betraying their own organization and were no longer an enemy of theirs, the Four Seasons Tower forces would still be on their side. The tower's true capacity was still formidable to a point that it could strike hopelessness in more men.

After all, the hidden experts of the Four Seasons Tower had never appeared. No one knew the true extent of their combat power. This was their source of terror!

The word 'unknown' had always been an adjective that was hard to gauge. A careless step could annihilate them all!
