Chapter 747

While several people were talking, Yang Kai had already come here and directly rushed to An Ling’er’s side, frowning and looking at her.

An Ling’er was crying so much that her face was like a pear blossom in the rain. She glanced at Yang Kai and said anxiously, “Why are you here？ Why don’t you leave？”

“Can’t leave！” Yang Kai shook his head slowly with a sullen face. “That woman has a strand of divine sense locked on me.”

“Ah…” An Ling’er covered her small mouth, and her beautiful eyes trembled as she looked at Yang Kai with some sympathy and pity.

“Who is she? Why did she target me? Does it have anything to do with you guys?” Yang Kai’s expression was furious as he asked several questions in a row.

“You are… that brat who hitched a ride before? Qian Ning glared at Yang Kai with an ugly expression. Originally, with such a change, the people of their Jiutian Holy Land were already headache enough and suffering enough. Yang Kai suddenly appeared here and kept questioning them. Qian Ning’s anger suddenly showed signs of eruption. He waved his hand and said, “Get lost. Where is there a place for you to speak here?

As he spoke, a burst of true essence suddenly blasted towards Yang Kai.

Yang Kai’s face was cold, and he didn’t care about hiding his strength. With a casual flick, he scattered Qian Ning’s attack, his body didn’t move, and his face was calm and composed.

“Huh?” Qian Ning was extremely shocked and looked Yang Kai up and down, Youdaoplaceholder0 not expecting this brat who didn’t look so good to be able to easily resolve his blow like this.

“I have no intention of being enemies with you. I just want to figure out why that woman targeted me.” Yang Kai had a somewhat impatient look on his face. He coldly glanced at Qian Ning, indicating his position and attitude, and then turned his gaze to An Ling’er.

“Uncle Qian…” An Ling’er raised her hand and stopped Qian Ning’s restlessness. She looked at Yang Kai and smiled bitterly, “You were targeted because you asked for it.”

“How so？”

“Probably because you have learned the Nine Heavens Divine Skill.”

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several Transcendent Realm powerhouses in the Nine Heavens Holy Land changed drastically. They stared blankly at Yang Kai, with a look of disbelief on their faces. Qian Ning was even more dumbfounded. Looking at Yang Kai and then at An Ling’er, he lost his voice and said, “How could he have learned the Nine Heavens Divine Skill？”

The Nine Heavens Divine Skill has always only been eligible to be learned by the top figures in the Holy Land. Qian Ning has never learned it.

“You’re courting death！” Yang Kai’s expression suddenly became ferocious.

He didn’t expect An Ling’er to reveal such a terrible secret in front of so many people. Once this secret was exposed, he would have to stand on the opposite side of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

“What does it matter.” An Ling’er smiled bitterly again and again, “Anyway, we’re all going to die. It doesn’t matter if they know.”

“Miss, what’s going on？” Qian Ning hurriedly asked, with a shocked and suspicious expression on his face. Obviously, he had already guessed something in his heart.

“It’s the same as what you think.” An Ling’er wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said softly, “The man in front of you passed my test and comprehended three moves of the Nine Heavens Divine Skill at once！”

Everyone had a dumbfounded expression, and their eyeballs were almost popping out.

After a long silence, Qian Ning seemed to come back to his senses and said with difficulty, “Then… then isn’t he the perfect candidate for the Holy Lord?

“That’s right.” An Ling’er nodded slightly.

Qian Ning and the others looked at Yang Kai with a completely changed expression, becoming respectful and expectant.

“But it’s too late now. Granny Nan has already found this place…” An Ling’er smiled bitterly. Hearing what she said, the expressions of Qian Ning and the others suddenly dimmed.

“I don’t care about your Saint Lord or not. Regarding the current matter, you have to explain it to me. Who is that woman? You should know her, right?” Yang Kai temporarily suppressed the killing intent in his heart and pointed at the woman standing in mid-air, looking coldly over here.

An Ling’er had already exposed the secret. There was no point in holding her accountable now. Yang Kai just wanted to understand who the woman who suddenly barged in was and why she had massacred the living beings without saying a word and even locked a strand of divine sense on himself.

“It’s Granny Nan！” An Ling’er replied softly.

“Granny Nan？”

“She is the only remaining Holy Maiden of the previous generation of the Holy Land！”

Yang Kai was dumbfounded. After a moment of surprise, he said in surprise: “Did something like an internal struggle happen in your Nine Heavens Holy Land? Why does the previous generation’s Holy Maiden have hostility towards you?”

An Ling’er shook her head painfully： “Granny Nan is very kind to me. How could there be an internal struggle… Um, do you still remember a sentence I said to you？”

“What？”

“As the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, one does not kill a single person in one’s lifetime！”

What does it have to do with the current situation? Yang Kai was puzzled.

“This is only the first half. There is another half sentence…” An Ling’er’s voice trembled slightly, revealing the horror in her heart, and she murmured, “Kill no one in life, but massacre a million corpses after death！”

Yang Kai’s expression was dull, and he frowned and said, “What kind of thing is this?”

“The saintess in the Holy Land really will not kill any living being during her lifetime. But once she dies and the corpse is not destroyed in time, she will fall into the way of Shura and massacre all the lives she can sense. This is probably the drawback of the cultivation method we practice！” An Ling’er took a light breath. “So after each saintess dies, the corpse will be quickly burned to avoid a situation like this. Before we set off, Granny Nan was still fine. Why did it suddenly…”

Yang Kai suddenly woke up. No wonder he felt a faint death energy on that woman. If we really infer according to An Ling’er’s statement, then this previous saintess named Granny Nan should already be a dead person.

Yang Kai has not never seen a dead person who can still move.

The Coffin Carrier is a living dead. He has already passed away for I don’t know how many years. But there is still a strand of obsession in his heart. His powerful cultivation base and obsession support him. Even after death, he has been fulfilling his responsibility and looking for someone to save the Ancient Demon Clan.

In this way, this saintess named Granny Nan should also have an obsession in her heart, and it is very strong. Otherwise, it is simply unable to support her actions.

“Saintess Nan and the Saint Master were bound by the same heart. Presumably, it was because the Saint Master fell that Saintess Nan…” Qian Ning heaved a heavy sigh.

“What are you people from the Nine Heavens Holy Land doing? How could you let such a dangerous person out！” Yang Kai was furious. Being targeted by a Saint Realm powerhouse, he constantly had a feeling of impending death, and naturally, his mood wasn’t too good either.

“What’s the use of saying these things now？” An Ling’er glared at him. “Because of cultivating the same cultivation method, Granny Nan has already targeted me. Among the people in the nearby archipelagos, if they can’t resist her, I’m afraid they will all die. After killing me, she will also go after my three sisters. Only when she is destroyed will she stop her slaughter. Before that, any living being she encounters will be regarded as her enemy.”

Among the nearby archipelagos, the most powerful one was only Qian Ning. Merely being at the Transcendent Three-layer Realm, he simply couldn’t resist the previous generation’s Saintess in the Saint Realm.

“No matter what, the young miss and the future Saint Master must not have an accident！” Qian Ning’s expression suddenly became resolute, and he looked at Yang Kai seriously. “Little brother, although you haven’t entered the Holy Land yet, since you have passed the young miss’s test, you will eventually be the master of the Holy Land. Please take the young miss and leave quickly. If things really can’t be done, even if you have to live on your own, the young miss will sacrifice her life to protect your safety.”

Yang Kai’s expression was cold. Although what Qian Ning said touched him a little, he simply couldn’t become the Saint Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land！

Qian Ning was completely casting pearls before swine.

“You two leave quickly. We’ll hold her off for a while here！”

“Overreaching！” Yang Kai snorted coldly. “You’re courting death. Moreover, where can she and I escape to? There’s simply no place nearby that can…”

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Kai’s eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of a possibility and looked distantly towards a certain position in the sea.

An Ling’er seemed to have thought of it too. She exchanged a glance with Yang Kai and both of them saw the thought in each other’s hearts.

While they were talking, the Saintess Nan in the sky had been watching coldly and wasn’t in a hurry to make a move. Moreover, a hesitant look flickered on her face. Obviously, the rationality from her previous life was stopping her current actions, but clearly it wouldn’t last long. A cold killing intent was gradually seeping out from her body.

“Little brother, if you die, that’s fine. But if you can survive, please go to the Holy Land and take over the position of Saint Lord. The Holy Land… can’t be without a master for a day! Qian Ning heavily patted Yang Kai’s shoulder and earnestly exhorted.

Yang Kai was at a loss for words.

“You two go. Run as far as you can！” Qian Ning took a deep breath, suddenly raised his head, and looked towards the Saintess Nan in the sky.

The expression of the other party kept changing. Gradually, ferocity and brutality replaced the previous hesitation and indecision. Dense killing intent filled the air, and the Overseas Islands instantly became like a ghostly domain, with gusts of chilly wind blowing.

Yang Kai didn’t dare to hesitate. He grabbed An Ling’er and spread the Wind and Thunder Wings on his back, shooting away like lightning.

As soon as they moved, Nan Sheng Gu waved her fair hand, and attacks rained down like a torrential rain.

Qian Ning, leading several experts from the Nine Heavens Holy Land, met them with a solemn expression.

“Uncle Qian and the others…” An Ling’er turned around and said anxiously.

“They’re e doomed.” Yang Kai’s expression was solemn, and his speed increased by a few more points. In less than a moment he brought An Ling’er to the sea. His true essence burst out of his body, wrapping the two of them and quickly sank into the sea.

While sinking, Yang Kai took a moment to look up and happened to see Qian Ning and the others explode into a blood mist in mid-air.

They couldn’t hold on for even three breaths under the hands of that Nan Sheng Gu！

After killing Qian Ning and the others, Nan Sheng Gu still wouldn’t let it go. She waved the Mysterious Heaven Sword in her hand, and the island where Qian Ning and the others had been located was quickly destroyed. Large chunks of land sank into the sea, and the living beings were devastated, with countless casualties.

The next moment, the huge Mysterious Heaven Sword was thrown out by Granny Nan. With imposing manner like a rainbow, it broke through the obstruction of the sea water and chased after Yang Kai and An Ling’er.

Yang Kai felt a chill all over his body. His true essence surged violently and he had already increased his speed to the extreme, but still couldn’t seem to get rid of it. That huge sword advanced in the sea water without any hindrance, and the dark blue sea water was directly split into two halves.
