Chapter 2289: A Faint Presence

"Hey, brother, are you sure you don’t want to participate in the Tournament of Strength?" Kulas asked Tian Yang as the tournament day drew closer.

"How many times do I have to decline before you get it?" Tian Yang sighed.

"But don’t you want to show off your skills to the world?"

"Why the hell would I care about something like that? And it’s not like the world isn’t aware of me already. Have you forgotten who brought the downfall of the Immortal Clans?"

Tian Yang’s war against the Immortal Clans had once made his name infamous across the Divine Heavens. However, with thousands of years having passed, his name—though not forgotten—was rarely mentioned anymore.

"Also, I am technically a criminal, you know?" Tian Yang said with a slight smile.

Kulas laughed out loud and said, "Who’d dare hunt the man who pretty much single-handedly defeated the Immortal Clans? If anyone were to go after you, it’d be the Three Pillars of Heaven, but seeing how they’ve ignored you, you don’t have to worry about such a thing."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Tian Yang spoke, "Now that you mentioned it... Why didn’t the Three Pillars of Heaven do anything? They basically allowed the Immortal Clans to fall."

If the Three Pillars of Heaven had intervened with his revenge, the Immortal Clans would’ve likely still been as powerful as before.

"The Three Pillars of Heaven are not babysitters, nor do they have any reason to help the Immortal Clans. While they may have been on friendly terms, it’s not like they were actual friends with each other."

Kulas paused briefly before continuing, "Speaking of the Three Pillars of Heaven, I received some interesting information about them yesterday. It appears that some of their people will be present at the tournament."

Tian Yang raised his eyebrows at this news.

"The Three Pillars of Heaven will be participating in the tournament?" he asked with a dumbfounded face.

"No, they won’t be participating. They will only be spectating."

"I doubt they’ll only be here to spectate."

Kulas nodded, "I’m sure they have business with me, but we know too little about them to make any speculations."

"Anyway, if you’re not going to participate, what are you going to do? Just spectate?"

Tian Yang nodded.

"What a pity. The champion of the tournament will get to fight me, too."

"You make it sound like we haven’t fought each other thousands of times by now. And I’m sure you wouldn’t want to lose before so many people in public."

Kulas chuckled, "Now that you’ve mentioned it, we haven’t sparred in a few hundred years, and I still haven’t beaten you yet."

"If you want to fight, we can do it after the tournament."

"Sounds good." Kulas nodded.
