Yun Yang pulled him away, both of them beating a swift retreat from the city.

In spite of their haste, countless gazes were trained on their retreating backs with hints of malicious smirks hanging at the corners of their lips.

How could there be such idiots in this world?

There they were, admiring the Ethereal Amethyst right there on a busy street. What was the difference between them and a na?ve child who roamed the market, hugging an ingot?

These people had met many death-seeking eccentrics throughout their martial careers, but it was their first time encountering anyone as suicidal as this pair!

It was a sight of wonder - a mystical encounter, the strangest occurrence in one’s lifetime!

Both Yun Yang and Qian Duoduo sped along, quickly leaving the city and went back to the deserted area. They marched into a forest before Fatty heaved a relieved sigh. He felt his face burning as he spoke with shame, “Boss, it’s my fault… I should die for causing such big trouble.”

Yun Yang was indifferent, however, saying. “Wrong you may be, but you’re only thirty percent at fault. Your mistake is within my expectations, so it doesn’t matter.”

“Since I’ve already expected that the item will be exposed, the consequences will naturally fall into my consideration as well. A child who carries a gem across the market will unavoidably attract covetous eyes. However, I can use this chance to gauge the so-called practitioners’ strength in the Bound of Universe too!” said Yun Yang faintly.

Qian Duoduo was still ashamed despite Yun Yang’s comforting words. He had just been appointed the majordomo and received the sect’s resources for the first time, yet he had already so much trouble. He was truly lacking!

His leader was not unhappy and was even comforting him, but this was an incredibly grave error, one that could annihilate his sect!

“Alright. What we should think of now is where to locate our Residence of Nine Supremes. This will be the Residence of Nine Supremes’ headquarters in the Bound of Universe, where the dragons soar; we mustn’t be careless!” said Yun Yang.

Fatty took out a map they had just bought and studied it carefully, eager to contribute as compensation for his mistake.

“The choice of the location is not difficult,” muttered Fatty as he studied the map, “The white banner has no benefits of increasing providence, but it’s still quite useful. No matter where you decide to locate your headquarters, you can change that spot to your liking. It’s rather mystical.”

“It can do something so magical?”

Yun Yang’s eyes twinkled. If the white banner could work as claimed, it was truly a charm.

“It can only be used once.”

Fatty sighed and continued, “Furthermore, only the exterior can be changed. Nothing practical or effective forms part of its abilities. That is the so-called fa?ade.”

“That’s more than enough,” replied Yun Yang stroking his chin.

However, what exterior did he want his headquarters to assume? Should he reproduce the Residence of Nine Supremes’ frontage as it had been in the past?

It would be grand, but it would also be excessive. In addition, the Residence of Nine Supremes had already turned into a charm he carried around, would it not be redundant to copy it?

Before Yun Yang could contemplate, rushed movements could be heard coming from behind him. The target of the furtive footsteps was unmistakably where he and Fatty were standing.

A rough voice called out, “You rascals are still thinking to run away?”

Yun Yang’s gaze became icy. Without a word, he pounced, wielding his saber. Swift like a beam, he waded in to meet his attacker head-on.

A day and a night later, Yun Yang and Qian Duoduo collapsed onto the ground in the midst of a forest. Panting laboriously, both of them were extremely weary and haggard.

Supported by Emmie’s air of vitality, Yun Yang had expended more of his physical strength than his combat power. In spite of it, he was the main tank, thus his general combat force had still been reduced by thirty percent.

Fatty, who was forced to become the secondary tank, looked more ashamed than he was before.

“Boss, this… It’s all because of my careless mistake. I’ve only let my guard down for a moment and I’ve caused you this mess. You’ve already killed around forty to fifty people now… cough, cough.”

Yun Yang heaved heavily before he laughed and said, “Do you know how to phrase your words? What you should say is, due to your momentous carelessness, there are already over thirty people hunting us down! With more to come!”

Yun Yang had managed to guess how it would begin, predicting that he could very well fight off the attackers and would even have some energy left, but what he did not know was how maniacal and hysterical the Bound of Universe’s cultivators were towards the Eastern Amethyst. They could die for it, refusing to give up until their last breath!

It had only been a day, but both of them had been ambushed for over thirty times!

It was fortunate that the news did not spread for long, thus those who came hearing the word of mouth were not masterly in their cultivation base. The highest of them was only a fourth level Honor, but it was this person that allowed Yun Yang to be distinctly aware that a fourth level Honor here was prominently powerful and was vastly different from his current capacity as a third level Honor - it was not at all like the level contrast in Tianxuan Continent.

It was a difference of heaven and earth!

Throughout the battles, Yun Yang could put an end to a cultivator who was also a third-level Honor with just his saber in a few exchanges without any assisting tricks, killing his opponent directly. Faced with a fourth-level Honor, however, Yun Yang had executed all that he knew and almost showed his trump card before he managed to only injure his opponent to the extent of being unable to fight.

It was not that Yun Yang did not want to kill his opponent once and for all; he was already wounded and his deific sense was nearly diminished. He was unable to fight as well, despite his best intentions!

Fatty Qian Duoduo had to be given credit here as he had sprung into action during the critical moment, eliminating the severely wounded fourth-level Honor.

One should not say that Fatty was just reaping someone else’s effort. The fact was he did, but it was not an advantage easily taken. Fatty was only a second-level Honor and he could be easily subdued with just the aura if he had met the fourth level Honor on an ordinary day. For him to strike at this juncture, he was shouldering an incredible pressure, especially when it was an ace cultivator who was at the brink of death; it was always during a cultivator’s most dangerous moment that one would be left guessing if the cultivator had reserved the last life-saving trump card or the final strike to end both parties.

Perhaps Fatty was lucky, or perhaps his timing was perfect. The fourth-level Honor had been killed on the spot with his single blow!

After the battle, Yun Yang came to a conclusion he could not deny - it would be a challenge to battle and kill someone of a similar level in the Bound of Universe.

One would be a Saint after the rank of fourth-level Honor and the disparity was even bigger by then. In other words, it was impossible to kill a Saint when one was fourth level Honor. There was no exception!
