Chapter 731

Although Yang Kai has come to the Tongxuan Continent for three or four years, he is still in a state of half understanding of the things here.

After listening to the waiter’s account he realized that the tour of the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens Holy Land should be a major event that shakes the “world!”

And it was only at this moment that he realized that there was not just the one Holy Maiden he had seen in the Jiutian Holy Land！

There were a total of four, each going in a different direction. The Holy Maidens’ itineraries almost encompassed all the areas where humans lived.

These Holy Maidens had grown up in the Jiutian Holy Land since childhood. After being cultivated for a dozen or two decades and going through numerous selections, they were the chosen women. Each one was young and beautiful and had cultivated the special techniques of the Jiutian Holy Land.

The biggest purpose of their tour was to find the next Holy Lord for the Jiutian Holy Land！

Now the current Holy Lord of the Jiutian Holy Land was very old and probably wouldn’t be in this world for much longer. Therefore, these four Holy Maidens were making a big show of going out on tour.

And as for what method they would use to find the Holy Lord, the world had no idea. They only knew that every Holy Lord of the Jiutian Holy Land was brought back by a Holy Maiden when she went out.

According to historical records, before being discovered by the Holy Maidens, the previous nine generations of Holy Lords had all kinds of occupations.

Some were already young heroes famous throughout the world, some were just ordinary porters or merchants, and some were mediocre people. But once they were found by the Holy Maidens and entered the Jiutian Holy Land, that person would shine with astonishing light and undergo earth-shattering changes from then on！

And when these nine people were found, their ages ranged from their teens to their sixties！

The Holy Maidens seemed to have unique insights different from ordinary people.

Precisely because of this, wherever the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens Holy Land arrives, those who have illusions will carefully showcase themselves. In case they are really chosen by the Holy Maiden, it would be a great stroke of luck like smoke rising from the ancestral graves.

Therefore, there are so many people on this island who are being artificial and deliberately showing off themselves.

None of them know by what method the Holy Maiden will select the Holy Lord, nor do they know if the powerful experts beside the Holy Maiden are already monitoring the entire island. They can only strive to be perfect and not make any mistakes.

Yang Kai listened in surprise again and again. Before this, he had never thought that there would actually be such a strange thing in the world.

“Little brother, you know a lot.” Yang Kai was full of admiration.

The waiter chuckled: “Everyone knows about it. It seems that you, little brother, are the only one on the entire island who doesn’t know.”

Then don’t you have any ideas? Yang Kai looked at him with deep meaning. According to his statement, before the Holy Lord is found, he is most likely to be an ordinary person, and the waiter also has a chance.

“Of course I do. How could I not? The shop assistant indeed nodded heavily. “However, a person likes the Holy Maiden I feel that I am not worthy of her. If she can take a fancy to me, it would be my good fortune. If she doesn’t, it’s only natural. I will live as I did before. I can’t act either.”

“Youdaoplaceholder0!” The shop assistant’s calm attitude greatly surprised Yang Kai. He clasped his fists and said, “Well, then I wish little brother good luck.”

“Thank you for your kind words, sir!” The waiter’s face was filled with smiles, and he went back to doing his own thing.

After eating and drinking in the inn for a while and finding out the information he wanted, Yang Kai left.

Now that he didn’t have anything urgent to do, he naturally wasn’t in a hurry to leave here. He was also quite curious about the matter of the saints of the Nine Heavens Holy Land looks for the holy Lord, and doesn’t know what kind of person that woman would find.

Naturally, he wanted to stay and watch the excitement.

More than twenty nearby islands, each one seemed extremely lively. Since the arrival of the holy maiden those young men were all like they had been injected with chicken blood, extremely excited.

Yang Kai stayed here for about ten days, running all over the big and small islands. He experienced the local customs and bought a lot of medicinal materials. Unfortunately, there was no movement in the matter he had been paying attention to.

After the holy maiden arrived here, she seemed to have disappeared without a trace, not to mention finding the mysterious holy Lord.

Just as Yang Kai was traveling around the islands, “Miss, is there still no response?

The Saintess slowly shook her head.

Uncle Qian’s expression darkened, and he slightly sighed and said, This is already the eighth place we’ve arrived at It seems that the Lord is not here! In a few more days, we’ll leave and go to the next place.”

The Holy Maiden nodded slightly and didn’t refute. She had known what kind of responsibility she was shouldering since childhood and had been striving towards this goal. Among her and her three sisters, there would always be one person who could find the next Holy Lord in this vast sea of people.

Uncle Qian, we haven’t gone out for so many days. I want to go out with Belle to see the scenery today. Is that okay？

Uncle Qian pondered for a while and then nodded. “That’s fine！ But the young lady has to dress up a little！”

Don’t worry, I have my own measure！” Having obtained Uncle Qian’s permission, the Holy Maiden seemed to be in a much better mood all of a sudden.

After some dressing up, the two girls happily went out, and two Transcendent Two-layer Realm powerhouses quietly followed behind to prevent any accidents.

……

On the island, Yang Kai was looking for rare medicinal materials in a shop. Suddenly, an alarming energy fluctuation came from not far away. Accompanied by a loud noise, the entire island seemed to shake.

Everyone on the island changed their expressions drastically, not knowing what had happened. Yang Kai’s expression also turned solemn. He quickly rushed out of the pharmacy and flew into the air to look towards the source of the sound.

I saw that on the sea, a soaring water column was slowly falling. It seemed that something had happened in the deep sea just now.

Some people were flying back from the sea in a hurry, and many martial artists who didn’t know the situation were rushing towards that side.

At the same time, Yang Kai noticed a breath that made him very comfortable!

That was the breath of Yang Attribute energy! Youdaoplaceholder0, it was because of the change just now that it leaked out from the bottom of the sea.

Immediately, his spirit was shaken, and he also rushed towards that side.

The water spiritual energy on the sea is extremely rich, so generally speaking, it is impossible for something of Yang Attribute to be generated. But once it is generated, it means that this thing is extraordinary.

Yang Kai really wanted to know what kind of thing it was that could actually emit such energy.

But before he could get close, he was stopped by some people. These people should be the martial artists of the seven local alliances. They formed a defense line on the shore and did not allow anyone to approach.

Although there were many foreign martial artists, everyone adhered to the principle of not looking for trouble, and did not force their way in. They all stopped not far away, looking at the sea surface and whispering.

Yang Kai listened carefully for a while, but I didn’t know any useful information. He only knew that this change happened extremely suddenly.

Soon, many powerhouses came to this island.

Yang Kai had seen these people before. They were the group of people who came to welcome the Saintess when the big ship of the Nine Heavens Holy Land docked that day. They were the powerhouses of the seven alliances here.

These people gathered together, discussing something in a low voice. Their expressions were solemn, and from time to time, they would also take a look at the place where the many outsiders gathered.

Yang Kai had been observing. He only felt that the Yang Attribute energy emanating from the depths of the seabed seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and there was more and more of it. His heart couldn’t help but be filled with curiosity.

After waiting for a full half a day, just as Yang Kai was considering whether to secretly dive into the depths of the sea to take a look before nightfall the experts of the seven-family alliance over there seemed to have made a decision.

One of the extraordinary realm yellow-faced old men strolled towards the crowd. When he stood still not far away, he coughed lightly and said, “Everyone, I’m sure you’ve all heard about the change that happened before, and some of you even witnessed it with your own eyes. Our seven-family alliance won’t hide it from you. Based on the principle that those who come from afar are guests and good things should be shared with everyone, we are here to inform you that beneath this island, in a certain place in the sea, there seems to be an ancient relic!

A burst of exclamations rang out！

Yang Kai’s complexion also changed slightly.

The words ‘ancient relic’ were like a thunderclap ringing in everyone’s ears, shocking everyone.

The yellow-faced old man swept a glance and was very satisfied with everyone’s reaction. He smiled and said, “Don’t doubt it. It is indeed an ancient relic without a doubt. Before this, our seven-family alliance had already noticed something and sent some people down to investigate. It was precisely because the ban inside was triggered that such a big movement was created. The people who came back already confirmed this.

“Old man, what’s your plan? Do you want us to go down and explore the way for you so that your Seven Families Alliance can take advantage of it?” Immediately, someone who thought he was smart shouted.

Hearing what he said, everyone couldn’t help but be a little vigilant and looked at the yellow-faced old man warily.

Such a great thing, there is no reason for the Seven Families Alliance to tell these outsiders for no reason. Obviously, they have the idea of tempting them to go down and explore. In this case, there must be many crises down there. Otherwise, the Seven Families Alliance would have gone down long ago.

The yellow-faced old man chuckled and unexpectedly admitted： “There is such an idea, but it’s not all like this！ Our Seven Families Alliance knows very well how much we weigh. If you want to force your way down to get a share of the pie, we can’t stop you either！”

“You old man, you still have some self-knowledge！” Someone laughed.

Because the Holy Maiden is here, there are really too many outsiders who have come here. Although most of their cultivation bases are not very good, they can’t stop everyone either.

Maybe they just go down one step, and someone follows them the next step.

What the yellow-faced old man said was very sincere and also won the favor of many people.

“So after our discussion, our Seven Families Alliance has a proposal. Please listen to it！”

“Old man, speak quickly if you have something to say！”

“Led by our seven-family alliance, we will go down to investigate what is hidden in that ancient ruin. If there are friends who want to come along, please register over there. If we get any benefits in the future, our seven-family alliance is willing to share them with all of you. In this way, it will be beneficial to everyone and avoid any unpleasant things from happening.” The yellow-faced old man shouted in a deep voice. “However, I have to remind you all that we don’t know what the situation is like inside that ancient ruin. But where there are interests, there are risks. Friends who want to act with our seven-family alliance, please have a certain awareness. If you lose your life at that time, we will not be responsible！”
