Chapter 137: Serve the Cloud of Wine. Drunk to High Heaven

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Seeing that the four men would not recover from the shock anytime soon, Yun Yang began inspecting his rewards from the trip to the Thousand Feet Lake.

He did not feel any strange changes after having so many cruxes of Divine Water enter his body. Perhaps when these fellows had left, he would test it out in the water to see the benefits. It was the essence of water after all; the hidden benefits might not show themselves immediately…

…

It was during the evening of this day that a few significant events took place in Tiantang City.

A black-clothed man appeared before the Cirrus House’s door, materializing out of nowhere.

As if sensing the presence, Yun Zuiyue rushed out to the door before calling out in delighted surprise, "Brother Ling!"

Her words silenced the entire Cirrus House at once.

Who was it that Yun Zuiyue would call Brother Ling?

Was that question even needed?

It would be no one other than the living legend, the Unrivaled Expert - Ling Xiaozui!

"Yue’er." Ling Xiaozui entered the house with a smile on his face; the otherworldly etherealness made all those who looked lower their heads in uncertainty.

His gaze had only briefly flicked over the place, but the imposing pressure that came with it was enough to overwhelm the entire Tiantang City.

It was only after they watched Yun Zuiyue lead Ling Xiaozui upstairs in happiness that the people downstairs began whispering to each other.

"Ling Xiaozui is here! He’s really here!"

"The legend is true. Ling Xiaozui is really Madame Yun’s big brother!"

"Oh my god!"

"Is this the reinforcement that Yun Zuiyue’s asked for?"

"Of course. If I were the one to be bullied like that, I would call for help as well…"

"How could she not call for help when she was just harmlessly doing business but was suddenly forced to be married off, as a concubine at that? If I had reinforcements of this kind, I would have asked him to come even earlier!"

"This is amazing! Look how those people had forced her then. Now that the calvary has arrived, get the popcorn ready."

"Karma! This is what people call immediate karma!"

"Agreed! It’s not that karma doesn’t exist, it just wasn\'t time yet. Now that the time is right, karma strikes!"

"Who would have known that Ling Xiaozui would have gotten the news and come to provide relief. Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have appeared in such a spectacular manner!"

"True, that."

"However, since he’s made such a grand entrance, those folks who have bullied Yun Zuiyue must be about to meet their misfortune."

"Let’s wait and watch!"

"We’ve certainly visited Cirrus House at the right time today! We managed to see the Unrivaled Expert, witness the arrival of the living legend. It’s absolutely worth the visit…"

"My heart is still thumping…"

…

Over and hour later, Yun Zuiyue appeared by the foyer again. Everyone’s gaze towards her had changed. If their gazes had been domineering and lustful while coated in fake chivalry before, they were now full of awe and admiration.

Ling Xiaozui had indeed been keeping an eye on this place all along.

Suddenly, a loud crashed shocked everyone to their senses.

A clear voice rang out, "A mere Plethora Gem Tower actually dared to bully my sister. Who gave you such teeming courage to taunt the tiger? Why should I spare this tower, what regret would I suffer if I destroyed it? Tell the keeper of Plethora Gem Tower to explain to me in the martial arts world! Plethora Gem Tower shall cease its existence in Tiantang City from now onwards!"

The voice was unhurried and there was no anger laced in it but the sheer iciness of it chilled the hearts of everyone present.

This great ‘god’ had indeed come to stand up for Yun Zuiyue!

The building where the Plethora Gem Tower was once situated had actually been split right down its middle. One-half tilted to the left while another to the right; there was only a crack with its width decreasing going from top to bottom. The widest part was two feet wide while the lowest and thinnest part was only a slim gap.

The crack was smooth and straight; it had obviously been made with a sword.

The members of the Plethora Gem Tower were all standing on the street outside the building with pale faces and shudders; some of them had even wet themselves.

They had been working in the tower when the crack appeared out of nowhere… It was an absolute nightmare.

Some of their expressions were dazed, thinking of the scene they had just witnessed - the silhouette of a black-clothed man dropped from the sky, and just as they were about to indulge their curiosity about what this man was going to do next, a ray of bright sword light fell from the sky, scintillating brilliantly like the Milky Way.

Two men who had been talking while facing each other watched as a foot of distance was added in between them within the blink of an eye.

Lowering their heads to see, they noted that they were standing right at the edge where the sword had gone through.

The feeling of vertigo drove a buzz through their heads, causing their hairs to stand on end!

It was overwhelmingly terrifying.

The deed completed, the black silhouette arrived at the top of the palace with a casually asked question - "Where is Mi Kongqun?"

Eunuch Mi, who was in the palace, was terrified out of his mind, hiding in his room without making a sound. Although he possessed a good cultivation base, he was not idiotic enough to compare it to that of a living legend!

As part of the Four Seasons Tower, he knew fully well of Ling Xiaozui’s power. The Four Seasons Tower had long laid out its rules - the first of which was to never provoke Ling Xiaozui. The Four Seasons Tower would not arrange the funeral for anyone who broke the rule and died; what was more if he or she had been seeking revenge. Right now, Mi Kongqun was praying to all the deities and higher beings while he hid in hope that Ling Xiaozui would develop scruples due to the presence of royalty in Yutang to avoid his death.

However, the four walls of the room Mi Kongqun was in disappeared with a loud roar, the roof flung entirely away.

It flew off as a whole piece, just like a huge umbrella, to soar an unimaginable distance away.

A gentle voice spoke, "Keeper Mi is really plotting isn\'t he? Come, come, take a stab of my sword!"

Mi Kongqun fled outside quick as lightning without looking back; he could still find the time to cry out, "It’s none of my business!"

Yet a cold, majestic air of a sharpened sword could be felt tailing him.

With a loud cry, Mi Kongqun did all he could to twist his body and flip himself in midair, barely saving himself from the living legend’s sword. Almost immediately, he felt a chill on his shoulder where a thorough hole had appeared and his mystical Qi was frozen at once. He fell from the air with a cry and his face facing the ground.

"I shall pardon you from death this time." The clear voice rang in the sky, "Be careful with your pathetic life if you would like to avoid there being a next time!"

The black silhouette floated upwards as the gentle voice came again, "Your Majesty of Yutang, do not be angered. Ling Xiaozui has no intention to be an enemy to royalty. I was only here for justice. Now that it has been served and the grudge has been avenged, I shall bid my leave. I wish Yutang all prosperity and success."

The voice faded away.

His Majesty the emperor’s voice was then heard. "Please, don\'t worry about it. Since Master Ling has come all the way, why not drop by for a cup of tea?"

"If fate will have it, I shall trouble you no further. Take care, your majesty." Ling Xiaozui’s voice was growing increasingly distant.

In the next moment, a deafening boom suddenly shook the entire Tiantang City. Ling Xiaozui’s voice echoed from far away.

"He Hangqing!"

A loud explosion erupted followed by a glowing radiance and rapidly colliding sounds like the continuous firing of cannons.

A cloud of black gas suddenly rose up and spread across the sky, the force growing stronger. However, the radiant sword light grew brighter and stronger too while the black gas slowly lost its strength and weakened…

Just a short while later, the black gas in the air dissipated and gave way to the radiant sword light that adorned the sky with a veil of shimmering energy, illuminating the world and giving light to all.

A holler resounded in the sky, "He Hanqing, seeing that you’re an old official of three generations and have benefited the people in many ways, I shall spare your life However, god is watching you. Mark my words, there will naturally be a person to put you in your place for whatever vile crimes you have committed."

An old voice laced with unspeakable pain said in resentment, "Ling Xiaozui, you behave like a man on a rampage, based on the martial skills you have. What sort of hero are you, if you can stoop to bullying this old man who has already seen his better years. Did you, Ling Xiaozui, build your name in the martial arts world based on this? Is this how the living legend is written in the history? That would be an absolute joke!"

From the air, a resonating scoff sounded. "He Hangqing, I dare you to repeat that again. Do you dare to?"

An oppressive threat was brimming in his tone; there was no reply that came from the ground beneath.

A howl sounded once more abruptly, through the air, "Say not that the martial arts world are distant, says who that the worldly realm is far away; serve the cloud of wine, still drunken to the sky! Not bad, not bad at all!"

The luminous sword light soared to the sky again, reaching thousands of feet high.

An echo rang, the sword light pierced a large hole in the sky high clouds and flew through it before entirely disappearing.

Only silence greeted Tiantang City now.

An extreme, pin-drop silence that spread its overwhelming oppressiveness.

Those who had wanted to cough had to suppress the itch in their throats with all their might.

The silence was deafening; no one dared to act impetuously.

They had finally witnessed the might of the Unrivaled Expert today!

It was no wonder that the saying \'dragon soared in grace leaving the worldly realm far \' was absolutely true. Charging thousands of feet through the sky and vanishing after reaching the clouds - this was obviously something unimaginable and unbelievable.

Was he still human?

Perhaps he was already an immortal of the land.

Yet why did this living legend find fault with Old He? Old He was a renowned man of justice be it in the imperial court or out in the world. Of course, he could actually fight with Ling Xiaozui. Despite the short duration, his cultivation base was unexpectedly mighty. Could anyone in the Empire of Yutang surpass him? Did Old Marshal Qiu Jianhan and Leng Daoyin possess such capabilities?

That black gas too, was it from Old He? It did not look like something savory. Ling Xiaozui had said that god was watching him and the vile things that he had done. Those tended to turn cogs in one’s mind and created space for doubts!

…

In the Residence of He after the battle, disarray greeted the eyes of all present. All the rooms and blocks had collapsed while the master of He’s residence, Old He, was sitting among the disorderly mess holding his chest in agony with a pale face.

He had ceaselessly spat out dozens of mouthfuls of blood, the crimson dotting his beard. He looked like his spirits and vitality seemed to have been sucked away.

The lines on his face had deepened while there was only a sword mark on his chest. It was a mark that did not even pierce the skin.

However, He Hanqing was fully aware of the wound’s severity. It would not heal without at least ten years of rest, and he could never use his high-level mystical Qi within these the years!
