Chapter 428: What is That?


Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


Someone seemed about to say something, but their hearts were full of shame now; how could he dare to speak?


"Does no one know anything? Do you all know why he's so confident that we'll be able to give him what he wants?" Emperor of Ziyou asked again.


Everyone remained silent.


"Forget it then. I don't need you all to solve this mystery. I know!" Emperor of Ziyou said in a tired voice. "I know exactly what he wants!"


The officials were still, the hall filled with pin-drop silence.


"Supreme Cloud hopes to have someone he can speak to."


The Emperor of Ziyou sighed in exhaustion and said with a deep gaze, "I think, in this whole Empire of Ziyou, no one else is more qualified than I am to talk to Supreme Cloud. At least, I believe this is what he wishes."


"I have decided that I shall go personally. I am dying to experience the extraordinary talent of Supreme Cloud!"


Emperor of Ziyou said indifferently, "You all can come too – if you dare to."


"Your Majesty, please do not! The saying goes that a gentleman does not stand under a crumbling wall!" An official jumped out to object to the emperor's proposed plan of action, "Supreme Cloud is a sham, with dangerous ploys up his sleeves. How can Your Majesty's valued self come so close to danger? That would be regarding him too highly!"


The Emperor of Ziyou said unhurriedly, "Regard him too highly? His battle alone today deserves my highest regard! Ask the entire Empire of Ziyou, who else would dare to disregard Supreme Cloud? Even the officials and people of Ziyou should revere this man!"


"As for valued selves and gentlemen not standing under a crumbling wall…"


A hint of mockery twisted His Majesty's mouth.


"There is no worry there. Even if I were to be killed by Supreme Cloud, I would have no regrets! You could just a.s.sume that the Empire of Ziyou has fallen today!"


The words were too severe, too grim to sit well with the a.s.sembled crowd.


"These officials have been in error!"


The officials fell down on their knees, trembling mightily at their emperor's words.


"Error?" His Majesty chuckled, wanting to say something but held himself back.


"It's decided then, everyone will go!" Emperor of Ziyou said cheerfully, "Everyone here, especially the high officials of n.o.ble families, will all go! No one should be exempted. Gentlemen don't stand under a crumbling wall – you would all do well to avoid tainting the name of a gentleman!"


His gaze was icy with killing intent. "If there is anyone who doesn't go today, I shall exterminate his nine familial generations! Do you dare take me up on that? Would you believe that I will do it?"


The officials wished to dissuade His Majesty, but they shuddered in unison instead when they heard him. Looking at the br.i.m.m.i.n.g murderous intent and openly malicious gaze, everyone knew that the emperor was not joking.


"Be it life or death, we shall go with Your Majesty!" The officials cried out.


The same hint of ridicule hung on the Emperor of Ziyou's lips as he said, "As long as all of you go, I shall be safe! Who, in this world, can kill me when I have my officials with me?"


"I'm so very confident about this!"


The drawn-out chortle was filled with despair.


No one could understand the emotions that this ruler was experiencing! No one would know that there was no more hope in his heart; it was filled with hopelessness!


His heart was numbed to the core.


The usual sayings were about the unpredictability of an emperor or the danger of serving a king was like accompanying a tiger, that sovereignty was temperamental and a whole lot of other plat.i.tudes. They talked about the emperors being kinless, emperors being coldblooded; they were dictatorial, they were lonesome creatures…


There were also stories about them stowing their kind officials away after successful solutions, or killing meritorious officials after fruitful conquests…


Countless emperors had let down wholesome officials, countless emperors had disappointed loyal officials… countless emperors had also led their subordinates astray…


Still, the Emperor of Ziyou could guarantee right now that since the beginning of times, no emperor could be as hopeless as he was, as bitterly disappointed as he was.


Bitter disappointment!


What would an ordinary person do when he was bitterly disappointed?


What would a wealthy person do when he was bitterly disappointed?


What would a patriotic official do when he was bitterly disappointed?


All of these seemed to have an answer available because the history of human experience had encountered similar real-life examples – there was no end of cases to choose from.


However, what happened when an emperor was bitterly disappointed? What would he do?


No one seemed to have had a similar experience or studied it.


He laughed self-depreciatingly and walked out alone.


The officials followed without making a sound.


Everyone was thinking about how they could salvage the situation after today's incident and what should they do next.


No one could imagine what the current Emperor of Ziyou could or would do!


This emperor clearly had no qualms about he should or could do it... Regardless, he would end up doing it!



The Emperor of Ziyou stood outside the city elegantly. Army troops surrounded him as well as his officials, and the personal guards the officials had brought along.


The hint of mockery that had been hanging at the corners of the Emperor of Ziyou's mouth grew even more obvious.


That's right, what I said is correct.


Once their personal safety is at stake, any sort of king of the sword, king of the saber, saint of the sword, and saint of the saber would be brought here.


Therefore, as long as my officials are beside me, no one in this world can ambush and kill me!


Unfortunately, this only served to pour salt on the Emperor's bitter wound.


For my officials, what they care about more is indeed their own lives, their own people, their own personal gain!


The country and society, about the miles of the empire, about the people and citizens, about world hegemony… these are all my issues!


Mine, alone!


The Emperor of Ziyou stood at a high point against the wind and looked into the distance. He suddenly realized that he was actually yearning to meet Supreme Cloud, the legendary Supreme Cloud.


Supreme Cloud was nothing but a devil to Ziyou and to any other nation except for Yutang! Yet he was Yutang's hero and what he had done was indeed deserving of the t.i.tle.


Now, the Emperor of Ziyou felt that not only was Supreme Cloud Yutang's hero, his actions was that of a hero or warrior, no matter from which country's point of view, even if it was an enemy nation.


There were tens of thousands of people gathered together, but there was no sound save for the fluttering of military flags. The ma.s.ses looked grand and disciplined.


Such grandeur awaited the arrival of one person – Yutang's Supreme Cloud!


The Supreme Cloud who had almost turned the entire Zilong City into ruins.


Unfortunately, Supreme Cloud did not come.


An hour pa.s.sed.


Two hours pa.s.sed.


The aforementioned time had pa.s.sed long ago and the antic.i.p.ated person still had not come.


"Your Majesty, let us go back. Supreme Cloud must have fled far away by now. What he said about the meeting is only a psychological trick," an official stepped forward to say.


"Impossible!" the Emperor of Ziyou spoke with conviction, "If it had been any of you who said it, I wouldn't have come at all because of disdain. However, since Supreme Cloud was the one who said it, he will definitely come!"


The ruler's words caused all the officials to choke slightly.


What do you mean you wouldn't come if we were to say it?


Yet, you believed it wholeheartedly when it was said by Supreme Cloud?


We've all served you for so many years – is this the type of comment we get in return?


Generations of us have served as officials in Ziyou, is this how things are to be now? There is no hint of trust whatsoever!


"Your Majesty!" Lan Wuxin took two steps forward, his back hunched; since the case with Supreme Cloud had erupted, Lan Wuxin almost never stood straight up. "Your Majesty, please be careful of your words."


An inexplicable glow flashed across the Emperor of Ziyou's eyes as he said, smiling, "I know."


His words were harsh and cutting, sometimes mocking and ridiculing those who had done no wrong, but only when he faced Lan Wuxin who held the biggest sin, was he gentle and mild.


This upset all the officials as their dissatisfaction soared.


What have we done?


If it weren't for Lan Wuxin, how would the current circ.u.mstances have reached such a terrible stage?


If it weren't for Lan Wuxin, would half of Zilong City have been destroyed?


If it weren't for Lan Wuxin, would a hundred thousand men have been listed as casualties?


If it weren't for Lan Wuxin…


Yet, the main culprit remains unscathed but we have to suffer chastis.e.m.e.nt instead?


Your Majesty, aren't you being unfair? You're being too biased!


The crowd could not voice it out, but a deep-seated grudge brimmed in their hearts.



Time ticked away quietly. Supreme Cloud had yet to turn up.


When everyone was growing anxious with impatience, someone suddenly cried out in alarm, "That – what's that?"


Everyone turned simultaneously to look, their expressions turned into one of trepidation, all at the same time!
