Chapter 479

Time flies, the sun hides and the moon rises. Yang Kai is immersed in cultivation and cannot extricate himself for a long time.

Until there was a knock on the door.

Yang Kai frowned, sensed slightly, and waved a gentle breeze. The door opened, and Qiu Yimeng appeared in front of him.

“What’s the matter？” Yang Kai looked at her and asked.

Miss Qiu walked in and said softly, “Someone from the Yang family came, holding the elder’s order, ordering… Yang Kai, the Ninth Young Master, to return to Zhongdu quickly！” After saying that, she looked straight at Yang Kai, and a complex look flashed in her beautiful eyes.

She didn’t know why the Elder Hall summoned Yang Kai back.

Yang Kai’s face showed a slight astonishment, and he tilted his head and asked, “Only me to return to Zhongdu？ What about Big Brother, Second Brother, and Seventh Brother？”

“It seems to be only you.” Qiu Yimeng pursed her lips.

“Got it.” Yang Kai slowly stood up, and his brows couldn’t help but frown.

This family order is quite interesting. Why would only he be summoned back to Zhongdu？ The last time someone from the Yang family came was just a few days ago, which was to convey the information of the Broken Mirror Lake Treasure Hunt to the direct sons. What about this time？

“Yang Kai, for some reason, I always feel a little uneasy! Qiu Yimeng’s voice was a little low, and her two delicate jade hands were constantly twisting and rubbing showing her inner nervous and restlessness.

For no reason, the Yang family only summoned Yang Kai back to Zhongdu. There must be a major event happening. As for what exactly it is, she doesn’t know yet.

Moreover, on the way back and forth, it is also extremely convenient for others to take action.

“Since it’s a family order, there’s no need to worry about safety on the way back and forth.” Yang Kai shook his head, calm and composed. If he were to be ambushed and lose on the way to and from the Central Capital, it wouldn’t make sense in front of the family either.

“Anyway, be careful.” Qiu Yimeng reminded. “I’ve already asked Ying Jiu and Yu Xian to get ready. They will go with you.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly.

The family order clearly stated to return to the Central Capital quickly, and Yang Kai didn’t want to delay. So he immediately walked outside.

Outside the main gate, Ying Jiu, who had recovered from his injuries, and Tang Yuxian were waiting. The taciturn Ying Jiu was as always, not willing to say a single word. However, the charming and mature Tang Yuxian had a happy smile on her face and said softly, “Little Young Master.”

Both Tang Yuxian and Tu Feng were sincerely happy to return to serve under Yang Kai. During this past half year, although they had been serving under Yang Kang and had done their duties conscientiously, they had always longed for the day when they could join hands with Yang Kai again and create miracles.

“Your injuries have almost healed, right？” Yang Kai also asked in a gentle tone.

“Thank you for your concern, Little Young Master. I have fully recovered.” Tang Yuxian bit her white teeth lightly, and there was a grateful look in her beautiful eyes.

She had used the Overlord Blood Berserk Technique and fought a great battle with Ying Jiu. Logically speaking, the recovery period couldn’t be so short. But under the miraculous effect of the pill given by Yang Kai, in just one or two days, both she and Ying Jiu had recovered.

Although she had already experienced such a miracle once, Tang Yuxian still couldn’t believe it.

Another day when there’s time, I have to ask you about the use of the Divine Soul Technique.” Yang Kai chuckled and flipped onto the Cloud-Treading Colt.”

I will wait at any time.” Tang Yuxian replied in a deep voice.”

Among all the Blood Servants, in terms of the refinement of the Divine Soul Technique and the cultivation of the Divine Sense, Tang Yuxian was the leader. Each Blood Servant had their own area of expertise. Qu Gaoyi was good at a rapid burst, Ying Jiu was good at hiding and assassinating, Tu Feng was good at a frontal collision. And Tang Yuxian’s attainments in the Divine Soul aspect were second to none in the Blood Servant Hall.

Go quickly and return quickly. Be careful all the way.” Qiu Yimeng watched the three of them get on their mounts one after another and softly instructed.

Yang Kai slightly nodded. The three Cloud-Treading Colts galloped like the wind and rushed towards the imperial capital.

Outside the mansion, a gentle breeze blew, ruffling Qiu Yimeng’s black hair. The setting sun was in the west. The figure of the eldest miss Qiu was drawn very long, and the unease in her heart became stronger and stronger.

Issue an order. All people stop cultivating and divide into two groups to take turns on duty. If any foreign enemy attacks, kill without mercy！ Until Yang Kai… returns！

“Yes！”

As night fell, the huge Zhongdu City, like a sleeping dragon, lay coiled on the vast land. The stars in the sky were like the sands of the Milky Way, dotting the sky.

Three Cloud-Treading Colts rushed into the exclusive passage of the Yang Family at the South Zheng Gate like lightning.

The few guards at the door didn’t even have time to ask a question. After the three people and three steeds left, they woke up like a dream and chased after them closely.

“The Ninth Young Master is returning to the clan, step back!” Tang Yuxian turned around and shouted jiao chi. The few guards immediately stopped in their tracks, looking panicked.

The Ninth Young Master… Yang Kai.

This person’s great name was already like thunder piercing the ears. How dare they offend? Immediately, they slunk back to the door and cheered up to stand guard at night.

In the Fourth Master’s Mansion, Fourth Master Yang and Dong Suzhen, who were both cultivating, were simultaneously awakened by the sound made by the Cloud-Treading Colts. They rushed out in a hurry to take a look and saw Yang Kai strolling in from the outside, followed by Ying Jiu and Tang Yuxian.

“Kai’er?” Yang Yingfeng was stunned for a moment. Dong Suzhen, however had tears in her eyes. She rushed forward and hugged Yang Kai tightly, kissing Yang Kai’s forehead while checking for any signs of injury.

Since the beginning of the battle for the throne, the mother and son had not seen each other again. The family did not allow Dong Suzhen to visit Yang Kai in the Battle City.

“Mother…” Yang Kai wished he could find a hole to hide in. Yu Xian and Ying Jiu were still behind him. If they saw this, how could he have any prestige in front of them in the future？

As he spoke, he looked back and found that both Yu Xian and Ying Jiu had serious expressions, their eyelids lowered, and they were staring at their own toes.

It was a long while before Dong Suzhen finished venting the longing in her heart. She held Yang Kai’s hand, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and her face showed a hint of grievance.

“Why did you come back, Kai’er？” Fourth Master Yang asked in surprise and doubt.

“The Elder Hall sent an order.” Yang Kai replied, frowning. It seemed that Fourth Master knew nothing about this matter.

“The Elder Hall…” Fourth Master Yang really had no news at all. Although he was a direct descendant of the Yang Family, his status in the Yang Family was not too high, and there was really no need to inform him about the matters of the Elder Hall.

“Come in and talk first.” Yang Yingfeng took a deep breath.

“Mother will make you something delicious.” Dong Suzhen said, waving to Tang Yuxian, “Yuxian, come and help.”

“Okay.”

Inside the house, the lights were brightly lit.

The three members of the family gathered around a table. Ying Jiu and Tang Yuxian stood solemnly behind Yang Kai. No matter how warmly Dong Suzhen invited them, they did not take their seats.

Why did the Elder Hall summon you back to the central capital? Did they say what it was about? Fourth Master Yang asked. Suddenly learning that his son was returning to the clan and it was an order from the Elder Hall, this couldn’t help but make Fourth Master Yang think of many things and he had some concerns in his heart.

“They didn’t say what it was about.” Yang Kai was also completely confused, but the order from the Elder Hall was to return quickly, so Yang Kai could only rush back non-stop.

Coincidentally, it was already night now, and he could only wait until tomorrow morning to go to the Elder Hall to see the situation.

“Don’t you have any idea in your heart? Have you done anything to attract the attention of the Elder Hall?” Fourth Master Yang inquired.

“Father, you want to ask about that evil devil, right？” Yang Kai smiled and shook his head, saying, “It’s not because of him that the Elder Hall summoned me back. Regarding his existence, I have reached a consensus with Great Elder Yang Liting. The Great Elder also allows him to participate in the battle for the succession, but after the battle for the succession ends, he must immediately leave the battlefield.”

“The Great Elder also summoned you？” Fourth Master Yang couldn’t help but be moved.

Yang Liting was a figure of the ancestor generation in the Yang Family. Even Fourth Master Yang had never seen him before. Unexpectedly, his own son was actually fortunate enough to be summoned by him.

In Fourth Master Yang’s opinion, this was a great honor. However, looking at Yang Kai’s expression when he spoke of Yang Liting, there was some dissatisfaction, and Fourth Master Yang suddenly didn’t know what exactly had happened between him and the Great Elder.

“Kai’er, we are still members of the Yang Family after all. It is better to avoid befriending the evil demons if possible, so as not to be gossiped about.” Fourth Master Yang said earnestly.

Yang Kai nodded slightly. Naturally, he understood what Fourth Master meant.

Over the years, the Yang Family has played a leading role in the confrontations and battles with the evil martial artists in the Cangyun Evil Land. Now that Yang Kai has befriended an evil demon, it will naturally attract criticism. Moreover, this powerful evil demon is actually participating in the battle for the throne.

If Yang Kai really wins the position of the heir of the Yang Family with the help of this evil demon, it will easily remind people of some things.

“It has nothing to do with that evil demon…” Fourth Master Yang tapped his fingers on the table. “Then it may be about the matter of Ying Jiu.

As he spoke, he took a look at Ying Jiu, and Fourth Master’s expression was also full of doubts.

Six blood attendants were hit by the Seal Yuan Curse, and five of them were imprisoned and unable to use their true yuan. But Ying Jiu was safe and sound.

That was the trick played by Huang Jiuzhou, another Supreme Elder of the Yang Family. If Yang Kai was recalled to the Central Capital because of this and the family wanted to ask him in detail, it was also possible.

“It’s useless to guess now. We’ll know the answer tomorrow.” Yang Kai shook his head, too lazy to think about it.

“Then have a good rest tonight. Being summoned by the Elder Hall… It’s definitely not a good thing.” Yang Yingfeng sighed. He had also been summoned by the Elder Hall several times. Each time, he was either scolded severely or punished with the family law. He had a bit of a psychological shadow on that place.

Putting aside the serious matter, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious. The three members of the family talked and laughed, and this warm and peaceful atmosphere also infected Ying Jiu and Tang Yuxian.

It seemed to allow them to temporarily get away from the tense and bloody battle for the throne and enjoy a short period of peace.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Yang Kai bid farewell to his two elders at home. In the eyes of Dong Suzhen who repeatedly told him to be careful and was reluctant to part, he led Tang Yuxian and Ying Jiu and rushed to the Elder Hall in a hurry.

“Lao Jiu！” When they were almost at the Elder Hall, someone’s call came.

Yang Kai turned his head and saw Yang Tie with his hands behind his back, standing there as if waiting for him.

Last night, Yang Kai broke into the South Gate and returned to the clan. The news must have spread, and it was not surprising that Yang Tie would know.

“Third Brother.” Yang Kai walked forward and greeted, “Does Third Brother have something to do？”

Yang Tie pursed his lips and pondered for a long time before saying, “Third Brother just wants to thank you, thank you for taking revenge for the people of the Duanmu family.”
