Chapter 480
by“It’s them who are helping me. I should really thank Third Brother for sending five experts over.” Yang Kai smiled faintly. On the first night of the fight for the heir, Yang Kai captured Yang Tie, but didn’t exchange him for resources from the family. Instead, he let him go. Yang Tie returned the favor by sending five experts from the Duanmu family to follow him, which also surprised Yang Kai.
However, after several battles in these days, the five experts of the Duanmu family have indeed contributed a lot. After all, they are five Divine Movement Realm experts, and there is even one at the eighth level of the Divine Movement Realm, who can play a significant role.
Yang Tie nodded slightly. Suddenly, his expression became solemn, and his voice was in a low voice: “When you go to the Elder Hall this time, you must not back down or be weak. Otherwise… you will suffer losses.”
Yang Kai was stunned. Just as he was about to ask in detail, Yang Tie had already walked away quickly, not even giving him a chance to speak.
Does Third Brother know something？ Yang Kai guessed in his heart.
Although Yang Tie’s personal strength is not so good, and his performance in the fight for the heir is even more unsightly, his father has some say in the Yang family.
Compared with Fourth Master Yang, the status of Yang Tie’s father is undoubtedly much higher, and he can also get in touch with some secrets of the Yang family.
Could it be that Third Brother heard some news from his father？ Yang Kai frowned slightly, carefully savoring the words Third Brother said just now, with a calm expression.
Since I’m here, I’ll just take it easy. What exactly the Elder Hall recalled me for will soon be revealed.
With a free and easy smile, he stepped towards the Elder Hall.
This was Yang Kai’s third time coming to the Elder Hall. The first time was because of the matter of the Golden Feather Eagle, and the second time was because of the Blood Servant. Every time he came, Yang Kai found that these white-haired elders of the Yang Family who seemed to be on the verge of death were somewhat idle.
But this time, the situation was a little different.
When leading Ying Jiu and Tang Yuxian to step into the Elder Hall, Yang Kai was astonished to find that there were more than a dozen elders sitting upright in the Elder Hall.
Divided into two columns, each one was awe-inspiring without anger, and their expressions were indifferent.
And Yang Zhen, who had dealt with Yang Kai several times and was sitting in the first place above, was even more so.
They seemed to be waiting for him.
This posture… It was a bit like a joint trial. Yang Kai asked himself that he hadn’t done anything heinous in the fight for the throne. Why did these elders put on such a luxurious lineup？
With doubts in his heart, he remained calm on the surface. He bowed and said, “Yang Kai has met all the elders!”
Ying Jiu and Tang Yuxian also saluted.
“You two step back!” Yang Zhen waved his hand at Ying Jiu and Tang Yuxian, and the pair of refined light overflowing eyes even lingered on Ying Jiu’s body.
He was like this, and all the other dozen or so elders were the same. On each person’s face and in their eyes, there was a hint of surprise and suspicion.
The Foundation-injured Ying Jiu. The Ying Jiu who had been hit by the Seal Yuan Curse. At this moment, not only did he return to the family with Yang Kai intact, but there was also a feeling that he was even stronger than before. Naturally, those elders cared about this.
They all didn’t know why this was so.
Ying Jiu and Tang Yuxian exchanged a glance and didn’t dare to disobey Yang Zhen’s order. They bowed and retreated.
Yang Kai raised his brows and his expression became playful.
Not only did these elders greet his arrival with an extremely luxurious lineup, but they also dismissed the two Blood Servants he brought, leaving him alone to face the pressure of their dozen or so people.
If it were someone else, they would definitely be uneasy in their hearts and their momentum would immediately weaken by several points. Later, whatever these elders said would be what it was. I’m afraid they wouldn’t even have the courage to argue and debate.
A show of power？
What exactly were they trying to do？
After Ying Jiu and Tang Yuxian left, the dozen or so elders secretly observed Yang Kai’s reaction and found that his expression remained unchanged. He was still as calm and composed as before, and couldn’t help but be slightly surprised.
They had never seen a young man with such great courage. Even Yang Wei probably didn’t have this kind of composure.
I wonder what important matter the elders have summoned the disciple back to the family for？” Yang Kai ignored their probing gazes and went straight to the point, asking Yang Zhen directly.”
“Called you back to the clan, there is naturally something.” Yang Zhen has been sitting in the Elder Hall all year round, handling the big and small affairs of the family. He has long trained a cold face, and ordinary people can’t help but feel horrified when they see him.
“I ask you, what method did you use to make Ying Jiu recover from his injury and also make him lift the restriction of the Seal Yuan Curse? In addition, as far as I know, the blood servants in your mansion are often injured, but at most it will only take one or two days to recover. What kind of mystery is hidden in this?
Yang Kai frowned： “The elders summoned the disciple back at this critical moment, not just to ask about such a small matter, right？”
Although the tone was flat, anyone could hear the questioning in his words.
This period is extremely critical for any Yang family disciple participating in the fight for the throne. If Yang Kai was only summoned back because of this kind of thing, it would be too much of a fuss.
The old guys in the Elder Hall look old and decrepit, but they are not so bored.
Yang Zhen coughed lightly and said with a serious expression： “Naturally not！”
“Then is this question what the family wants to ask, or… what the elder wants to ask？”
Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, as if he didn’t expect that Yang Kai could still be so calm and have a clear mind when facing more than a dozen elders. He said cheekily： “It can be regarded as what I asked on behalf of the elders present. Everyone is very curious about how you did it.”
“Since it’s not the family’s intention…” Yang Kai smiled and shook his head. “I’m sorry, but this disciple has nothing to say.”
A dozen or so elders slowly shook their heads, looking disappointed. Yang Zhen’s complexion was especially ugly.
They didn’t expect Yang Kai to actually dare to refuse to answer this question, and the excuse he found was quite clever.
If it’s not the family’s intention, then he doesn’t have to answer. These old fellows can’t rely on their seniority and force him, can they？
“Elder, this disciple has many matters to attend to. If you have anything to say, you might as well speak directly.” Yang Kai’s tone gradually became impatient. From the time he entered the Elder Hall until now, from the performance of these elders, Yang Kai could also see quite a few problems.
They wanted to strike first and oppress him with their momentum. They must have something to say that would harm his interests. If not, why would they put on such a big show？
Since it was something that would harm his interests, and the words that Third Brother Yang Tie had just awakened him with were still ringing in his ears, Yang Kai naturally didn’t have to be polite either.
“In that case, this old man won’t beat around the bush with you.” Yang Zhen nodded, his eyes shining brightly as he stared at Yang Kai and said in a deep voice. “It’s about the blood servants under your command. The clan has made a decision.”
“The blood servants under my command?” Yang Kai frowned, feeling something was amiss, and stared back at Yang Zhen without showing any weakness.
Stared at by him like this, Yang Zhen couldn’t help but have an impulse to avoid his gaze. He managed to endure it with great difficulty and nodded with a calm expression： “That’s right. As far as this old man knows, there are already seven experts from the Blood Servant Hall gathered under your command, right？”
“That’s right.” Yang Kai took a deep breath.
Ying Jiu and Qu Gaoyi were the first to follow Yang Kai. Xiao Shun defected to him after the eighth son, Yang Quan, was eliminated. Tu Feng, Tang Yuxian, Luo Hai, and Yan Lingxing, these four, defected to Yang Kai’s name after the battle that night when Yang Kang and Yang Shen were eliminated.
Before and after, seven experts from the Blood Servant Hall gathered around Yang Kai, each with the cultivation base of the 8th layer of the Divine Movement Realm.
If you don’t have the means to lift the restriction of the Sealing Yuan Curse if you don’t have the means to make the severely injured blood servants recover quickly, it would be fine! The seven of them gathered around you might not be able to exert too strong a destructive force, but you can do what ordinary people can’t.” Yang Zhen stood up from the first seat, walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, stopped, and turned his head to look at Yang Kai. “If this old man’s guess is correct, are these seven blood servants in your residence now all back to their peak periods?
Judging from the situation where Ying Jiu and Tang Yuxian followed over, this result is already very obvious.
“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded slightly.
“Next, what you are going to do, I also know. It’s nothing more than bringing these seven people and defeating the remaining Yang family disciples one by one with an irresistible force. And in the process of defeating them, you can still subdue the blood servants who are currently following them. Am I wrong？”
“The elder is not wrong. If it weren’t for being recalled to the clan by you, I would have taken action tonight！” Yang Kai admitted frankly.
Yang Zhen let out a soft breath： “Seven blood servants, hehe, indeed no one can stop them. You have also created a miracle, which makes us old guys tremble with fear！ Although Yang Wei, Yang Zhao, and Yang Ying have gathered a lot of forces as helpers around them, one of the blood servants beside them has been abolished. As long as you lead these seven people to launch a fierce attack, you will surely be able to easily capture them and win the final victory without bloodshed.”
When saying these words, he seemed to have seen the scene where Yang Wei, Yang Zhao and others were powerless to resist, and this was exactly what Yang Kai wanted to do！
“But…” Yang Zhen’s tone changed, and he said seriously： “This does not conform to the original intention of the fight for the heir, nor does it conform to the original intention of the Yang family sending blood servants to participate in it.”
Yang Kai sneered. By now, if he still didn’t know why the Elder Hall had recalled him, he would really be a fool.
A wave of anger spread in his chest. Yang Kai took a deep breath and looked at Yang Zhen sarcastically, saying, “The elders couldn’t possibly want to recall the blood attendants beside me back to the clan, could they？”
Although he had already noticed the change in his attitude and tone, Yang Zhen didn’t care at all. Young people were all hot-blooded. If Yang Kai wasn’t angry at this time, then he wouldn’t be a young person anymore.
“That’s right. It’s good that you can understand！” Yang Zhen nodded frankly.
“I don’t understand！” Yang Kai’s face was gloomy, not caring at all that the other party was an elder of the Yang family and even his elder, and his attitude was extremely tough.
Yang Zhen said, “As the old man just said, you leading the seven blood attendants to attack other Yang family disciples doesn’t conform to the original intention What is the battle for the heir? You should be clear. It is competing of the personal connections that each direct descendant son has made outside and his own personal charm! The wider the personal connections made and the greater the personal charm, the more help can be gathered. Because what you are going to seize is the inheritance of the next head of the Yang family future, you will become the head of the Yang family. If you don’t get the support of most forces, how can you be the head of the Yang family? You only rely on the blood attendants who were originally from the Yang family to win the victory. This doesn’t prove anything at all.
