Chapter 214
byYang Kai saw many familiar faces, all of whom he had seen by the lake before.
The four Girls of Wanhuagong were among them In addition, there were also Wenxin Palace, Shuiyue Hall Jiuxing Sword Sect, Liehuo Sect, Feiyu Pavilion…
The disciples of various sects and factions gathered here. The total number was probably more than thirty, all of them being the outstanding generation of these forces.
However, at this moment, the states of these people didn’t look very good. Their true essences were consumed greatly, and many people had injuries of different degrees on their bodies.
Just after a fierce battle, most of these thirty-odd people hurriedly sat cross-legged to adjust their breath. Only one person was shuttling through the battlefield, collecting the blood beads left behind by the dead.
A gaze swept towards Yang Kai. Looking back along this gaze, Yang Kai saw a young man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, looking at him with a cold expression.
This young man had a strong build and was outstanding. Although his clothes were mostly torn, they were still neat and tidy without the slightest wrinkle. There was a lot of blood on his body, Youdaoplaceholder0 a touch of valiance and coldness to him. He stood there quietly, like a sharp sword out of its sheath with his sharpness fully revealed and his vigor reaching the sky.
After looking at each other for a while, this young man faintly retracted his gaze, talked with the person who was shuttling through the battlefield and collecting blood beads just now, and took the blood beads he collected in his hand.
Chen Xueshu and Shu Xiaoyu walked over, and both of their faces showed a look of surviving a disaster.
“What’s going on?” Yang Kai furrowed his brows and asked. He really couldn’t understand how the current situation had developed. The younger generations of various forces came to this strange land for training. They were originally in a relationship of being enemies and competitors. Unless there was some special reason and change even if they wouldn’t be enemies with each other, they wouldn’t unite either.”
“It’s a long story！” Chen Xueshu gritted his teeth and greeted Yang Kai to sit down.
Yang Kai saw that he was seriously injured and bleeding continuously. He reached into his bosom and took out a bottle, poured out a few pills from it and handed them over.
“Healing Pills…” Shu Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up.
Chen Xueshu quickly gave her a look and whispered, “Brother Yang, put it away quickly！”
Yang Kai’s frown became much deeper. Although he didn’t know the reason, he also quietly stuffed the bottle into his bosom and put the poured out pills into Chen Xueshu’s hand.
I was extremely puzzled in my heart. Weren’t they just a few healing pills？ Why was Shu Xiaoyu making such a fuss？ The young disciples who came in for training would definitely prepare a few bottles and carry them with them in case of emergency.
There were more than a dozen bottles of pills in my Qiankun bag, all prepared by my grandmaster Ling Taixu before, but I had never used them.
Shu Xiaoyu turned her head and looked around, and then stuck out her fragrant tongue. She had a very embarrassed look on her face.
“Brother Chen, how did you all gather together？” Yang Kai asked softly. This was his greatest confusion.
“Forced to do so！” Chen Xueshu couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“Was someone threatening you？” Yang Kai’s expression turned cold.
“That’s not the case.” Chen Xueshu shook his head repeatedly. “We gathered together out of our own will and for self-protection. Because if we don’t gather together, we simply can’t survive here.”
“Could it be that there is some danger here that forces you to join hands？” Yang Kai asked in surprise and doubt.
“Yes.” Chen Xueshu nodded.
“Is it a human or a beast？”
“There are both humans and beasts.” Chen Xueshu sighed deeply. He raised his eyes and asked, “Do you still remember that by the lakeside, the people of a certain sect had a slightly different dress and appearance from the warriors of our Great Han？”
How could Yang Kai not remember? He had a deep memory of that group of people. He immediately nodded and said, “Those are the warriors of the Tianlang Kingdom.”
Chen Xueshu looked at him in astonishment： “Brother Yang actually knows their origin！ We also paid a great price to find out that that group of people are not the warriors of our Great Han.”
“My master told me before.”
Chen Xueshu was shocked and looked at him with admiration： “Senior Ling is truly knowledgeable and well-informed.”
“What does it have to do with those few warriors of the Tianlang Kingdom？ They are indeed very strong, but there are only four of them after all. Are you so many people still afraid of them？” Yang Kai was confused and couldn’t help but frown.
“If it were just the four of them, what the hell would we be afraid of！ The warriors of Tianlang Kingdom dare to act insolently in our Great Han. It’s simply courting death. We could randomly pick a few people here and wipe them out.” Chen Xueshu was indignant. After saying that, he let out a bitter laugh. “But they’re not just four people. I don’t know what kind of strange cultivation method they’ve cultivated. They can actually enslave monsters to fight for them！ Each of the four of them has about a hundred monsters under their command. How are we supposed to fight？”
Yang Kai’s face twitched when he heard this, and he said in horror, “The monsters that surrounded you before and the group of monsters just now were all driven here by the warriors of Tianlang Kingdom？”
“That’s right.” Chen Xueshu nodded heavily. “The disciples of hundreds of sect forces in the Great Han entered this foreign land for training, but unexpectedly, those people from Tianlang Kingdom had long been prepared. In the first one or two months, those bastards didn’t make any moves and let the warriors of our Great Han hunt monsters and kill each other here. But after two months, when they enslaved a considerable number of monsters, they immediately attacked the disciples of various large and small forces in our Great Han. Many people were hunted and killed by those monsters without any guard. And those few people from Tianlang Kingdom didn’t even need to make a move, and they had our warriors firmly in their grasp.”
Yang Kai was extremely astonished, and his heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.
However, a doubt in his heart was thus resolved. No wonder the two groups of monsters seen before were of different species and there were all kinds of them. It turned out that someone was enslaving them!
“After these few months of fighting, the number of monsters under the hands of those few people in Tianlang Kingdom is getting more and more and they can’t be killed completely. Instead, the number of warriors in our Great Han is getting less and less. There were fifty people who gathered together before, and now more than a dozen have died. Besides those people, I estimate that they are all dead.”
That is to say, the only ones who survived in the strange land now are the four warriors of Tianlang Kingdom and the more than thirty people here.
Yang Kai took a deep breath and was also a little abated. There were as many as two or three hundred people who came in that day. After more than half a year, only one-tenth was left. Those who died were also the elites of various forces. The loss was not insignificant.
As he was talking, Chen Xueshu was extremely frustrated and his face was flushed: “This time, we really lost a lot of face. If this gets out, I’m afraid the sects of all the people here will lose face…”
So many young talents from various sects in the Great Han gathered together, but they were overwhelmed by the distant Tianlang Kingdom and took the lead. If this matter really gets out, it will only become a laughingstock of the world. No wonder he blushed.
“Senior Brother, it’s not your fault!” Shu Xiaoyu comforted in a low voice. “It’s not that we’re not strong enough, but that group of people is too treacherous and prepared too well.
“Alas.” Chen Xueshu was in low spirits and said dejectedly with his head down, “I only hope this damned place closes quickly and we can get out.”
Yang Kai furrowed his brows and pondered, then suddenly asked, “With so many of you gathered together now, who gives the orders？”
Everyone here is an elite. In their respective forces, they must have been able to get whatever they wanted. Such people are all arrogant, proud, and have a high opinion of themselves. Without a leader who can overpower everyone, they are surely just a disorganized mess.”
Chen Xueshu gestured with his mouth to the side and said, “That one, Wu Chengyi from the Nine-Star Sword Sect, a True Yuan Realm Layer 7 expert. Among the people practicing here, his strength is the strongest, and for the time being, everyone listens to him.”
Looking in the direction of his gaze, Yang Kai took a glance and suddenly discovered that it was the youth who had ed with him earlier.
No wonder he gave off the feeling of a sharp sword out of its sheath. So this is an elite of the Nine-Star Sword Sect. Yang Kai nodded secretly.
The Nine-Star Sword Sect, whose disciples mainly practice sword skills, is also a famous sect and enjoys a high reputation within the Great Han.
The world calls the Nine-Star Sword Sect the first force under the Eight Great Families of Zhongdu！ That is, a sect second only to the Eight Great Families of Zhongdu. From this, one can see the strength of the Nine-Star Sword Sect.
Wu Chengyi’s strength is high, and his background is extraordinary. Such a person is really good to be a temporary spokesman. Besides him, I’m afraid no one among these warriors can convince the public.
Yang Kai nodded secretly and said, “This person’s temperament and expression really have the demeanor of a leader. It seems that the Nine-Star Sword Sect has not spared any effort on him.”
Shu Xiaoyu listened and pouted beside him, whispering, “That guy is very arrogant and always treats us as his subordinates. Moreover, all the blood beads obtained after killing the monster have to be distributed by his hand. I don’t know how much he has embezzled himself.”
Chen Xueshu glared at Shu Xiaoyu and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. If it weren’t for him taking the lead and making connections, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to gather together and would have been defeated one by one by the people of Tianlang Country long ago. He has the strongest strength and contributes the most. It’s only natural that he takes more benefits. What’s more, now 80% of the beast here have been enslaved by the people of Tianlang Country. We originally couldn’t get many blood beads. If he wants to take them, let him take them. I just hope we can get out safely and don’t think about anything else.”
Shu Xiaoyu said unconvinced, That’s all right. But he doesn’t take other people’s lives seriously at all. Weren’t we sent out to restrain more than a dozen Monsters this time? If it weren’t for Brother Yang coming to save us, Senior Brother you would…”
Remembering the danger just now, Shu Xiaoyu was on the verge of crying, and her eyes were red.
“Why are you crying? Brother Yang will laugh at us. Didn’t we have a narrow escape?” While comforting her, Chen Xueshu smiled apologetically at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai frowned and said, “You were surrounded by demonic beasts because he sent you out？”
Chen Xueshu let out a bitter laugh. “It’s in turns. This time, it was just bad luck for my senior brother and sister. We encountered a few more and almost didn’t survive.”
With a soft sigh, Yang Kai could also understand Chen Xueshu’s helplessness. In this situation, even if he was dissatisfied with Wu Chengyi, he could only endure it. If he left this large team, with the strength of just him and Shu Xiaoyu, they would probably die even faster.
With a further turn of his thoughts, he finally understood why Shu Xiaoyu was so pleasantly surprised when he took out the healing pill just now.
Over the past few months, this group of people must have encountered countless battles. Although everyone had spare pills, they must have already been used up. At this moment, there were no strange flowers and herbs, so the healing pill he took out was extremely precious.
