“Where is Yun Che!?” The black-clothed youth did not look at him directly and spat out words which were as cold and still as stagnant water.
“Yun… Yun Che?” The innkeeper said in a careful voice, trying to keep his fear in check, “Which Yun Che?”
“Of course it is the Yun Che that destroyed the Burning Heaven Clan!” The black-clothed youth said in a voice that suddenly became even colder.
“Ah? Well…” The innkeeper looked at him with shock and suspicion, but hurriedly lowered his head and replied, “I do not understand this esteemed customer’s question, Prince Consort Yun Che… isn’t he already dead?”
The name Yun Che was naturally known to all within the Blue Wind Nation. Two years ago, the Seven Nation Ranking Tournament had caused his name to send shockwaves throughout the Profound Sky Seven Nations. But swiftly following this illustrious news was the information that he had been buried within the Primordial Profound Ark.
“What… did you say?!”
The innkeeper’s words caused the unstirring young man to explode like a sudden peal of thunder. He grabbed the collar of the innkeeper with one hand, and easily lifted up the innkeeper’s body, which weighed over two hundred kilograms. His dark eyes let out a fiendish light as he shouted, “You said he is dead? You said Yun Che is dead?!”
The innkeeper felt as if he had been dropped into ice, and he nearly pissed his pants in fright right there, “Esteemed… esteemed customer, please do not be angry. Prince Consort Yun has indeed died, he had already died two years ago… this matter, the entire continent knows of it… Esteemed customer, please spare my life… please spare my life….”
The black-clothed youth hands shook, and his face distorted in an incomparably terrifying way. He spoke in a hoarse voice, “Dead… how can he possibly be dead! Tell me!! How did he die… How did he die?!”
“He… He… He died in the Divine Phoenix Empire… Seven… Seven Nation Ranking Tournament… Primo… Primordial Profound Ark… I… I heard that it was to save the Divine Phoenix Empire’s Princess Snow… he was buried in the Primordial Profound Ark…”
The innkeeper had been badly startled, his whole body convulsed and his speech became incoherent.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!!!” The black-clothed youth let out a furious yell, then sent the innkeeper flying with a wave of his arm. The innkeeper’s body flew through the wall, and there was no sign of movement after that. It was unknown if he was dead or alive.
“Dead… Dead… Dead… Dead… He is actually dead… Ha… Haha… Hahahahaha… Dead!!” The black-clothed youth entire body spasmed as he kept repeating those words to himself. His entire demeanor was in disarray and he started to howl with laughter. After the laughter, his expression transformed into one filled with pain… it was as if he had suddenly turned insane.
“Why… Why is he actually dead?!” The black-clothed youth raised his head, and howled in agony, “After three years of rending flesh and tearing the soul, and enduring countless hellish purgatories, I had finally awaited for this day to arrive… but why is he dead… Dead… Who will I take revenge on then? Ah!!!!!”
The black-clothed youth let out a huge roar and, all of a sudden, a column of pitch-black smoke rose from his body. Within the smoke, the wooden table near his feet soundlessly rotted away. The white bowl on the table turned pitch-black, and afterwards dissolved into a black powder which was carried away by the wind.
After his roar had subsided and he regained his sense, one name appeared within his mind.
Floating Cloud City!!
“Floating Cloud City…” The black clothed youth muttered in a low and deep voice, “Yun Che… You exterminated my entire clan… This grudge will last for an eternity! Since… I can’t kill you anymore… then I will simply slaughter all the people in your clan.”
The black-clothed youth started flying as he broke through the roof of the inn, shooting out like a black arrow in the direction of the east… Making his way directly to Floating Cloud City.
