Marquis Yun took a composed step forward and replied firmly, "I am Yun Xiaoyao. I don't carry the royal name, but I was previously a member of royalty. I wonder what would yours be?"

The person waved his hand dismissively and said, "I've stayed away from this mundane world for so long that I no longer remember what my name is… You all may call me Immortal Dahuang."

Dong Tianleng rolled his eyes behind Marquis Yun and could not help mumbling softly under his breath, "You don't remember your name - do you still remember those who gave birth to you and who brought you up?"

The man's attitude had improved considerably over time but there were still moments where his brain malfunctioned. Other people would never have said such words out loud under the current circumstances but he had blurted it out without a care.

The Immortal Dahuang turned slowly and trained his gaze upon Yun Yang, saying lightly, "Such a sharp tongue for a person so young; what a poor upbringing you must have had. In years to come, you will certainly become the scourge of this world!"

The group was dumbstruck.

Dong Tianleng was the one who spoke, but why was Immortal Dahuang focusing his attention on Yun Yang?

The unexpected accusation stumped Yun Yang as well.

Was this fellow an idiot? Could he not distinguish who the speaker was? Dong Tianleng had spoken his mind, but he was not the one who had been accused. Had this fellow turned so dull from the pomposity that he could not recognize people anymore?

Yun Yang laughed. "Does offending you mean that one will turn into the scourge of this world in the future? Immortal Dahuang, you are certainly talented at accusing people! I'm impressed!"

He pursed his lips and said, "Since you spoke while looking at me, I shall just assume responsibility for those words uttered earlier. Say, Immortal Dahuang, are you going to kill me to exterminate the scourge of this world, since you are looking at me like that?"

It was true that the newcomer's ability was very proficient; hovering was a peak ability ordinary cultivators longed for. However, Yun Yang was not very fearful since the other party's provocation was blatant. They probably took opposing stances and Yun Yang would never opt to submit. The four of them, himself included, had the world's pinnacle combat power gathered together; unless this person was at Mr. Nian's level, they had more than a fighting chance to win. Therefore, Yun Yang's words were not courteous at all, sarcasm brimming in every one of them.

To everyone's surprise, the Immortal Dahuang blushed as he said, "You are the insensible one, child. This did not initially concern you, but you would insist on speaking out and spew nonsense! What is this?"

At those words, not only was Yun Yang confused, but even Marquis Yun, Dong Tianleng and the rest were dumbfounded.

What did he mean? He was already replaceing fault with Yun Yang about things Dong Tianleng had said and now he was turning back on his words? What the heck was going on?

Yun Yang thought quickly. Upon closer observation, he saw that this person was obviously talking to him, yet his gaze was trained on Qiu Yunsan. A lightbulb flared in Yun Yang's head, almost causing him to guffaw out loud.

"Immortal Dahuang…" Yun Yang asked tentatively, "May I politely ask if you suffer from strabismus?"

Immortal Dahuang fumed at once, his eyes glaring at Qiu Yunsan as he cried, "You are the one who is cockeyed! Your entire family is strabismic!"

Qiu Yunsan, while horrified, had nothing to say.

Yun Yang almost fainted. Marquis Yun's face was twitching as well, almost laughing out loud.

This person had arrived so suddenly, like a dragon descending from the heaven. His grandeur and cultivation base was beyond everyone's estimation. He truly did move with the grace of an immortal, a deity. There was also the short opening poem of his, recited to elevate his image to substantial heights.

Just as everyone was trying to guess who this person was and what was he doing here, no one would have expected that he was suffering from strabismus! To make matters worse, the person's squint was terribly severe.

Yun Yang let down his guard then, saying, "Please do not be angered, Immortal Dahuang. I am sure it is an innate condition which can't be helped. In asking the question, I did not mean to insult you. Instead, if you want to avoid similar troubles in the future, I have an amazing solution that can cover for your condition…"

Immortal Dahuang asked impatiently, "What solution would that be?"

It appeared that this Immortal Dahuang was indeed very anxious about his squint as Yun Yang's words had immediately garnered his full attention.

Dong Tianleng's punishment aside, he had very well have forgotten about his main purpose. Perhaps, to Immortal Dahuang, there was nothing more crucial than his strabismus!

Yun Yang replied, "I have an amazingly effective method to teach you, but before I do, will you promise not to replace fault with us, especially this brother of mine, anymore?"

Yun Yang pointed at Dong Tianleng.

He was the very soul of reason. It was the better course If they could avoid a duel, especially when Yun Yang's manifestation powers had yet to recover!

Immortal Dahuang glared at Xia Bingchuan and huffed irritably, "You have offended this immortal's reverence earlier, and should be punished! However, I shall be generous and forgiving. You are pardoned."

Xia Bingchuan, the latest target of Immortal Dahuang's misplaced gaze, remained silent.

Almost immediately, his gaze went to back to Qiu Yunsan once more, brimming with yearning.

Qiu Yunsan visibly startled under that frigid gaze.

Yun Yang felt tickled but held a straight face. "Also, I would like to ask Immortal Dahuang for his reason for coming to this army so abruptly."

Hearing the question, Immortal Dahuang's eyes were still on Qiu Yunsan as he answered, "This immortal understands heaven's mysteries and fathoms the vicissitudes of the mortal world… The vicious cycles of this world remain, due to how destiny works. Your previous war has but all but infringed heaven's will and has added various variables to this mortal realm. This immortal has been ordered to come here and understand the situation, to amend the wrong and steer the world towards unity!"

Yun Yang smirked. "Amend the wrong and steer the world towards unity? Are you saying that our victory this time is against the will of heaven? Does that mean that we should have lost this war? Only then would events fit heaven's will?"

"Correct!" Immortal Dahuang snorted, looking somewhat pleased.

"B*llsheet!" Yun Yang cried out with unstoppable rage, "What kind of logic is this? We bathed ourselves in blood and fought our hardest to guard our country and homes. Why must we lose and not win?"

"It is not for me to say. This is simply destiny," Immortal Dahuang replied loftily.

Yun Yang retorted, "Destiny? Where is it? What is it?"

"Destiny? Why, it is what I've come to tell you," Immortal Dahuang was taken aback by the apparent idiocy of this mortal.

Yun Yang did not know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing his reply. He said, "Dear immortal, let me present to you a scenario. Your enemy intends to attack you, but his ability is lesser than yours thus you have no fear for him. You can even finish him off with a flip of your hand, but someone comes along to tell you that you should rightfully be killed by this enemy of yours. That someone tells you that it is your destiny to die, it is part of the bigger picture! I wonder if you would be willing to oblige that someone and let yourself be killed without even trying to defend yourself."

"What's the meaning of this? Even if his ability was higher than mine, I wouldn't go down without a fight. What's more, he fares worse than me. If he dares to attack me, he would be giving his life away. Why would I face death in such a manner?" Immortal Dahuang said unhappily.

Yun Yang then replied with a grin, "You admit that wouldn't take it lying down either. Dongxuan had attacked us and was weaker than us, thus, they were defeated. Isn't this how it's supposed to be? How are we supposed to admit defeat just because of some destiny or heaven's will?"

"These… these are two different things!" Immortal Dahuang's eyes bulged in exasperation.

Yun Yang had already suspected that this Immortal Dahuang was very mighty but not terribly bright. Now, he was even more confident about his observation. "How are they two different things? Aren't they the exact same situation? I'd like to ask you where the distinction between them lies."

Immortal Dahuang really did ponder for a moment upon Yun Yang's question but the more he considered it, the more he felt that it was not right. In the end, he said angrily, "Destiny has already been set in place. How can it be changed at your whim and fancy?"

Yun Yang replied with a smile, "Perhaps our lives are not as predictable as they seem. Could they possibly be changed, then?"
