Transcending the Nine Heavens

As they managed to slowly pass the days, the eight of them seriously started to hold more and more admiration toward Chu Yang.
Where did all this impressive mental strength come from? This tenacity was seriously overflowing!

When they were free, of course they couldn’t just work and do nothing else.
During this period of time, all of them boasted about their respective lives.
In the beginning, it was still alright; everyone listened with great interest.

But as time went by, repetition was inevitable.
And so, when one boasted, the others would expose them.
“Hey, that’s not right.
Didn’t you say that that enemy of yours was shoved into a washlet by you and died from suffocation? How come he died from slow torture now?”

“There’s a loophole here… Didn’t you say that your second grandaunt’s father-in-law’s brother-in-law’s sister-in-law’s second cousin’s cousin-in-law’s eldest son’s mother-in-law’s sister-in-law was a ninth-grade Martial Saint expert? How did she become a restaurant owner now?”

“Hissss, this still isn’t right.
Your second grandaunt is a woman, right? How can a woman have a father-in-law from her wife’s side?”

At this point, usually an argument would break out.
The one being exposed would defend himself agitatedly while the others looked at him in contempt in unison…

When it was Chu Yang’s turn, Chu Yang said, “I’ll tell you about my personal experience.”

And so, the others became all ears.

Chu Yang said, “I remember that in my previous lifetime, my name was also Chu Yang.
I did this and this… and then, I was killed when I was in my teens… Then, I suddenly discovered this lifetime…”

Everyone held their stomachs as they guffawed and rolled about in laughter.

This guy could really goddamn boast, actually talking about his past lifetime and this lifetime… Why didn’t he talk about his next lifetime then…

Chu Yang laughed along with them too.
He laughed carefreely and absurdly…

As they chatted, they reached the topic of their future.

“I really find this very strange.
Why does Boss Lang want us to resign and roam the martial world after we return?” Interrogation Officer One was rather perplexed.
“No matter how powerful the Nine Tribulations Sword Master is, surely he can’t annihilate the law-enforcement officers, right?”

Chu Yang replied furiously, “This mindset of yours isn’t right! No matter who you doubt, you cannot doubt your own Boss! Think about it, were Master Lang’s last words said with your wellbeing in mind?”

The four of them nodded together.
“There is no doubt about that.”

“Exactly.” Chu Yang continued, “Think about it again — in the past hundred thousand years, all those who went against the Nine Tribulations Sword Master, did any of them have a good ending?”

There really wasn’t any! This was something everyone could be sure of.

“The law-enforcement officers may be powerful now, but who knows how strong the Nine Tribulations Sword Master is? If the Nine Tribulations Sword Master would fail instead… then isn’t he unable to go against the heavens? How could that be?” Chu Yang said, “Therefore, there is no doubt that the Nine Tribulations Sword Master is sure to win, while the law-enforcement officers are sure to lose.”

“You’re right.”

“So, if all of you were to continue as law-enforcement officers, isn’t that the same as waiting for death?” Chu Yang guided them patiently.

“But… if we don’t do this, what can we do?” Interrogation Officer One was very troubled.
“Us brothers, other than fighting and killing, really don’t have any other skills… Besides, if the entire continent is going to be in chaos, even if we live in seclusion, where can we hide?”

Chu Yang replied in an upright manner, “You can come to the south-east and look for me, isn’t it! Over there, I have Ning Tianya, Bu Liuqing, Yue Lingxue, Feng Yurou and Wu Juecheng, the five great experts holding the fort! As long as I don’t deliberately stir up any trouble, even if it’s the Nine Tribulations Sword Master, surely he can’t do anything to me?”

Interrogation Officer One and the others brightened at once.

“Besides, as the force of an area, an interrogation department is necessary and I happen to lack talents such as the few of you.
When you come to my place, it’ll still be an interrogation hall too.
Besides, nothing could go wrong and you can even hide from the maelstrom of the world… So why not?”

Chu Yang persuaded them patiently and painstakingly.
“I have good intentions when I invite the big brothers here to join my alliance! Of course, if Master Lang hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t headhunt law-enforcement officers either… but are you really not going to heed Master Lang’s last words?”

Interrogation Officer One and the others were greatly tempted!

This really was a good solution that could kill two birds with one stone…

“This is really not a bad suggestion…” Greatly enticed, Interrogation Officer Two looked at Interrogation Officer One.

“Yes, it’ll be very hard to find someone like Brother Chu elsewhere…” Interrogation Officer Four, who was usually a man of few words, also added.

“Yes…” Frowning, Interrogation Officer One thought about it.
“If all the brothers are agreeable… When we’ve avenged the Master, we’ll bring the brothers and head to the south-east…”

“Alright!”

At the side, Wan Renjie suggested, “Then… why don’t we go to the south-east as well?”

“Yes, yes, how awesome would it be if all of us were together.” Rubbing their fists and palms together, everyone approved of the suggestion.

Chu Yang grinned secretly.

Yes, the first step of the headhunting plan was successful!

Since food and water weren’t an issue and they had even settled their future plans, everyone was filled with drive.
Their progress actually quickened significantly.

As days went by, another incident that stunned and gave everyone a pleasant surprise happened.

In this dark underground tunnel devoid of light, after excavating rocks and digging a tunnel for one and a half months, each and every one of them actually discovered that they were… about to break through?!

What was going on?!

The one who first discovered this was of course Chu Yang.
“Hmm, there’s something wrong with my cultivation… It’s actually becoming restless.
Could it be that I’m about to break through to second-grade Supreme Martial Artist?”

The moment Chu Yang brought this up, everyone else, who had felt extremely full of vigor and energy recently, also checked their own cultivation.
The moment they did, each and every one of them let out cries of surprise.
