I Am Supreme

Ten teams, like ten pointy arrows, shot away in ten different directions, heading towards their targets in the dead of the night.

Yun Yang stood before the mountain gate of the Residence of Nine Supremes gazing into the gloomy night with an upturned chin. Without a word, he turned to return to the sect.

Dong Qitian had been beside him all this while and was currently walking with his arms rested behind his back. After a while, he finally spoke up, "You have ninety-nine disciples, why didn't you divide them into eleven teams and lead one team yourself? Wouldn't it have been more credible if you were to lead by example?"

"I'm the leader of the sect," Yun Yang replied nonchalantly as if that explained everything.

Dong Qitian chuckled and commented no further.

"Qian Duoduo!"

"Coming, coming!"

"Your main task now is to guard the sect; other than that, you have to further investigate and determine the human trafficking organizations' background and actual strength, minus the ten organizations that are the targets this time around. You have a month left to do this; this issue must be resolved as soon as possible."

"Understood."

"How many organization's information do you have upon you now?"

"One hundred and thirty-seven!"

"One hundred and thirty-seven organizations?"

Yun Yang sucked in a deep, cold breath.

"One hundred and thirty-seven human trafficking organizations… You've managed to collect so much information within such a short period of time! I wonder how many people in the Bound of Universe were separated from their families due to these hundred and thirty-seven bodies…"

"Get going with your work. Be meticulous."

"Very well."

Qian Duoduo was livid regarding human trafficking organizations as well.

In the past, he was used to being trade-oriented and was indifferent towards human trafficking. As he dealt with these people more frequently, however, Little Fatty developed a constant wish to uproot organizations like these after seeing their repulsive actions and inhumane tactics. His rage and abhorrence could only be sated through the torture and execution of each member within such organizations!

These people were conscienceless animals!

Therefore, while Qian Duoduo worked hard to seek talents to add to the sect's disciples, the search for human trafficking organizations was also his priority. He vowed to hunt down all these monstrosities and wipe them out completely. He would neither miss one out nor leave one alive - they were to be killed brutally!

Now that the sect had begun to terminate them, Little Fatty felt a sense of genuine elation.

"You're heading out?" Dong Qitian looked at Yun Yang, realization suddenly dawning upon him.

"Senior, you have sharp eyes. I coincidentally have something of my own to do during this period of time, when Shi Wuchen and others are not in."

Dong Qitian grinned with comprehension in his eyes, saying, "Yun Yang, some sacrifices… are actually necessary. One who is tender-hearted is destined to be incapable of achieving greater things."

"I'm only going out for some personal matters. Do you have to raise everything to a higher plane of principle?" Yun Yang retorted with a long face.

Dong Qitian went on talking, ignoring Yun Yang's rhetorical reply, "Still, have you thought about how you'll cope with the aftermath as you get involved this time? Perhaps I should ask… Where do you plan to arrange these fated ones at?"

Yun Yang halted and stared at Dong Qitian for a long time.

What fated ones, what arrangement, nice ones? There was a lot to be read between the lines!

After some time, Yun Yang replied dryly, "Elder Dong, are you certain that I'm going to do these things?"

"A hint is more than enough. Ninety-nine disciples and ten teams, but you aren't the one leading them. That paints a clear picture. How can I not guess it? After all, the dignity of a leader is nothing to you, next to the joy of fighting shoulder to shoulder with your brothers - it's not you to assume such pomposity," answered Dong Qitian with a smile.

Yun Yang chuckled bitterly.

It was not easy for him to keep any secret in front of this sly fox of an experienced martial artist. He had only unintentionally disclosed a hint of his thoughts, but this old monster had read it all. Could it be that his acting skills had deteriorated?!

Dong Qitian started to speak again. "I'm not the least bit surprised by your intentions, but what I'm curious, instead, about whether you be able to take care of everything when it's only you alone."

"I beg your pardon?"

"Actually, it's not my concern whether you'll be able to handle everything. My concern is if, this could be your second task to me," Dong Qitian spoke the truth after a smile.

Yun Yang contemplated his suggestion. With an improved mood, he answered, "Elder Dong, do you intend to seek a few heirs for this sect?"

Dong Qitian soured immediately. "The cultivation base of your sect's disciples are too shallow and they're only averagely gifted. Are there any who's worth my effort?"

"Alright then. We'll go as Elder Dong's wish. You go east and I go west, is that alright?" Yun Yang laughed and asked.

"So you admit it now?" Dong Qitian scoffed.

"Old geezer!" Yun Yang was riled up from his embarrassment.

"Just tell me if you're going!"

A bark of laughter escaped Dong Qitian; the man felt a sense of happiness from the bottom of his heart.

"Everything must be done discreetly. We mustn't be found out by the other disciples."

"Of course, I know this better than you do."

Dong Qitian said after a moment of silence, "I… plan to head home once during this trip away from the mountain."

There was a beat of silence from Yun Yang as well before he replied, "I understand. Then, please go and return together with the children you've rescued upon completing this matter, Elder Dong."

"I'm not as weak as you think," Dong Qitian said, glancing at Yun Yang.

"You think too much, Elder Dong. I'm only asking you to take good care of my pupils," Yun Yang answered airily.

It was Dong Qitian who chuckled dryly, instead, and who left without another word.

Moving eastward, Dong Qitian came to a rural area promptly where all he saw was desolation, but he could feel a sense of warmth engulfing his heart.

'This child… is really thoughtful…'

…

Guo Nuanyang and the team had arrived at their destination, the outskirts of the Stellar River City.

The ten children whom he had brought along included Yun Yang's top protege Yun Xiuxin, second protege Cheng Jiajia, and third protege Hu Xiaofan… All ten of them were Yun Yang's pupils; they were the purported leader's team.

At the other end of the nightfall was a big house.

"According to the intelligence, there's a total of forty-five people inside this mansion, men and women included. There are thirty-two rooms on the outside, but there are many secret passages and chambers underground. The children who were caught are basically located inside these secret chambers and are constantly watched."

"Their combat force generally includes ten Heaven Mystic martial artists, five Supreme leveled experts, and an Honor leveled expert. The level of everyone else won't be lower than the Earth Mystic, but they're incredibly scattered, so there'll be substantial room for attacks."

Even though Guo Nuanyang had spoken casually like he did not regard their target too highly, even pointing out their standard and defensive loophole, his heart pumped wilder the more he spoke.

F*ck this sh*t… Was he really here to kill the human traffickers with the team he had? Really, were they not here to be killed instead?
