Chapter 790

After a whole day of busyness, the trivial matters of the Holy Land have finally almost come to an end.

As night fell, not a single star could be seen. The dark sky was like a beast’s mouth, enveloping the Holy Land with a heavy atmosphere.

The protecting elders in the Nine Heavens Holy Land gathered together to discuss how to deal with the disaster half a month later.

After all, those people had already spoken out that half a month later, either hand over the previous generation’s Holy Maiden or hand over this generation’s Holy Maiden, otherwise it would be a battle.

The three forces that had always been sheltered and suppressed by the Nine Heavens Holy Land dared to act so arrogantly, obviously having great confidence. Otherwise, their attitude would never be so firm.

The previous generation’s Holy Maiden Xu Hui and others could not be handed over. Saintess Nan was nowhere to be found now, and no one knew where she was hiding. This generation’s Holy Maiden could not be handed over either. A great battle was bound to occur half a month later, which was an obvious thing.

I don’t know what their intention was, but they actually asked An Ling’er to pull Yang Kai here to listen.

When they were discussing, Yang Kai remained silent all the time, neither having the intention to express his own opinion nor the thought of bossing them around.

Yang Kai knew his place. Although they had always shown great anticipation for him to inherit the position of Holy Master, at this critical juncture, he had no decision-making power. In their eyes, he was still too young.

Therefore, Yang Kai sensibly remained silent.

After listening for a while, Yang Kai was surprised to find that none of these people wanted to escape. All of them were resolute in their attitude, staying to fight a decisive battle with those people to defend the dignity of the Holy Land.

Yang Kai secretly shook his head and did not comment on this.

Although he also knew the truth that as long as the green mountains remain, there will always be firewood, he also knew that for such a huge force, it was not an easy thing to escape. Even if Xu Hui and the others could safely evacuate, those disciples below would probably become abandoned children.

Now the most crucial thing was how to persuade those powerhouses who were lured here by the Broken Profound Palace, the Battle Soul Palace, and the Nether Sect. As long as they could retreat, with the current lineup of the Holy Land, the remaining three forces could also be easily dealt with.

After discussing for a while without any result, everyone cast their eyes on Yang Kai, who was sitting upright on the side.

“Why are you looking at me？ I’m used to coming and going alone. I don’t understand these things at all. You just talk, and I’ll just listen.”

“Hehe…” Xu Hui gave a dry laugh and said with a gentle expression, “Although that’s what you say, but little brother should have some of his own opinions, right? How about speaking them out and listening? Maybe we can find a way out from them.”

The others also looked at him with expectant eyes, seemingly eager to hear his opinion.

Yang Kai furrowed his brows. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he still opened his mouth and asked, “How many Saint Realm experts do those three forces that cause trouble have?”

Xu Hui’s expression became serious, and he quickly replied, “Actually, these three forces aren’t that powerful. Each one only has two Saint Realm experts. And basically, all of them are at the First-Order Saint Realm. The only one we need to pay attention to is Zhang Ao of the Broken Mysterious Mansion. This old fellow’s cultivation level is the same as mine, both at the Second-Order Saint Realm. If we really fight, it’s hard to judge the outcome.”

Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly. Two in each family, a total of six Saint Realm experts, among which five are at the First-Order Saint Realm and one is at the Second-Order Saint Realm.

This number and the strength of their cultivation levels just happen to be on par with the current Nine Heavens Holy Land.

The Nine Heavens Holy Land also has one Second-Order Saint Realm expert and five First-Order Saint Realm experts.

This doesn’t even count the experts they have. There must be many powerful experts among them. Just relying on the Nine Heavens Holy Land, which has just been severely attacked by Saintess Nan and is now in a mess, it is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

Moreover, if a fight really breaks out, I’m afraid the Nine Heavens Holy Land will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the world in the future.

The number of forces included in it is really quite large.

So, they still don’t really want to be enemies with so many forces. It’s just that it was the troublesome matter caused by Saintess Nan. Naturally, this black pot has to be carried by the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

“Haven’t you thought about asking for help? The Nine Heavens Holy Land has been passed down for so many years. There should be some allies, right?” Yang Kai asked after pondering for a moment. “Ask those allies to help out and contribute. Return the favor in the future.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions were a little embarrassed.

Yang Kai observed their expressions and immediately understood. I’m afraid the Nine Heavens Holy Land really doesn’t have any allies！ When the old Holy Master was alive, they thought very highly of themselves and felt that there were not many forces in the world that could be on an equal footing with the Holy Land. As a result, now that the sect is in trouble, others won’t come to help either.

Yang Kai rubbed his forehead and was speechless for a while.

He could ask the Tianxiao Sect for help and let the four uncles of the Tianxiao Sect come to help, but there was definitely not enough time. I’m afraid that before he could return to the Tianxiao Sect, the Nine Heavens Holy Land would have been broken through by others.

Suddenly, Yang Kai’s eyes lit up and he said in a deep voice, “That Great Venerable of the Monster Race… Have you ever thought about asking him to take action and help？”

“The Great Venerable of the Monster Race？” Xu Hui’s face changed slightly.

“Yes. Since he is a Great Venerable of one side, his strength must not be weak. There must be some available talents under his command, right?”

“Are you kidding me?” Shi Kun furrowed his brows. “That’s the Monster Race. They regard us humans as thorns in their eyes and flesh in their mouths. If we really ask them for help and the news spreads afterwards, the Nine Heavens Holy Land will probably become a stain on the entire human race. and there will be no chance for it to rise again.”

“That’s right.” Yu Ying also nodded slightly, agreeing with Shi Kun’s statement. “No matter how bad the situation is, we can’t ask the Monster Race for help. Moreover, we haven’t even seen the Monster Race Great Venerable. It’s just that the old Holy Lord has some friendship with him. Whether we can ask him to take action or not is still uncertain.”

Yang Kai was stunned. He didn’t expect that his proposal would arouse their rather strong rejection, and then he understood that he had somewhat underestimated the degree of hatred between different races.

He wasn’t a native of the Tongxuan Continent. He just came from Zhongdu. Although he had been here for some years, the deep-rooted ideas in this world still hadn’t affected him.

Before coming here, he simply didn’t know that there were other races such as the Demon Race and the Monster Race.

“There is a person. If we can find him, our Holy Land might be able to easily resolve this disaster.” Xu Hui suddenly fell into thought and muttered softly.

“Is the Great Elder referring to that person？” Cheng Yuetong also seemed to remember all of a sudden.

“Yes.”

“Who is it？” Yang Kai was suddenly curious. He didn’t know who they were talking about, and it seemed that this person had extraordinary means.

“An old guy with a mysterious origin. I really don’t know what his specific name is, but he should be an old acquaintance of the former Holy Lord. Half a year before the former Holy Lord fell, he suddenly came to visit. At that time, he also lingered in our Holy Land for a while. The former Holy Lord treated him with great courtesy. It seems that their friendship is not shallow. If he can help, that would be great.”

“That’s right. That old guy looks a bit unfathomable, and I’ve never seen the former Holy Lord be so polite to anyone as he was to him. He is obviously not an ordinary person.” Yu Ying also chimed in.

“Mysterious origin？” Yang Kai was stunned. “You can’t find him？”

Everyone shook their heads one after another.

“But he should come to our Holy Land again.” Xu Hui suddenly said affirmatively.

“Why？”

“Because when he came to our Holy Land, a little girl beside him arranged something in a certain place of the Nine Peaks. After he left, the former Holy Lord even ordered us to watch that piece of land carefully and not allow anyone to approach or damage it. I guess that after a certain period of time, he and that little girl will come back here again and take something away from that place.”

“That’s right. Since that little girl made the arrangement, that area has become extremely chilly.” Meng Tianfei nodded and said helplessly, “Because of this, I had to move my residence. Staying in that kind of chilly environment for a long time, even I can’t bear it.”

Listening to them talking one after another, Yang Kai suddenly understood what place they were talking about.

When opening the formation and barrier of the Nine Peaks with Xu Hui during the day, he indeed felt that there was a place that seemed different, especially chilly. That kind of cold was different from ordinary cold, and it was hard to explain clearly, making people feel quite uncomfortable.

Yang Kai originally thought it was a naturally formed place within the Nine Heavens Holy Land, but he didn’t expect there were these factors involved.

However, listening to them addressing an old guy and a little girl one after another, two familiar figures somehow emerged in Yang Kai’s mind.

He couldn’t help but smile in surprise and secretly thought it couldn’t be such a coincidence.

With a smile on his face, he casually asked, “The old guy you mentioned, couldn’t he be an old man who looks refined and immortal, but actually has lecherous eyes？”

Xu Hui was stunned for a moment. Before he could answer, Yu Ying and Cheng Yuetong nodded repeatedly. Yu Ying gritted her teeth and said, That’s right. The old guy’s pair of eyes are extremely annoying. He often looks at places where he shouldn’t.”

Cheng Yuetong also chimed in and said, “Yeah, at such an old age, he still doesn’t respect himself. It’s a pity that Yu Ying and I still politely addressed him. It would be better to dig out his eyes！”

Both beautiful women looked extremely angry, as if the old guy had really done something to them.

Xu Hui couldn’t help but smile dumbly and said, “It’s not as serious as you said, right? Maybe the person just has excellent strength and his eyes are full of spirit.

Both Yu Ying and Cheng Yuetong glared at him simultaneously.

“I take that back.” Xu Hui looked embarrassed.

However, Yang Kai’s expression became extremely strange. His heart rate increased slightly, and he felt anticipation and excitement. He continued to ask, “The little girl beside him, is she wearing a veil, making it impossible to see her true face clearly, and has a simple and naive temperament?

Everyone looked at him in surprise. Xu Hui’s expression was astonished. “Holy Master, you… cough cough, little brother, how did you know?

“So it’s really her?” Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel a bit at a loss for words. He added to confirm, “And there is also a light blue gem embellishment on her forehead?”
