Chapter 809

In the forest, as they retraced their steps, Ruan Xinyu was indignant. “You’re such a fool. Since you’ve seen him again, why did you leave on your own initiative？”

“As long as he’s safe, what more could I ask for?” Yun Xuan smiled.

“Is this really okay？” Ruan Xinyu felt a bit uneasy in her heart.

“It’s very good.” Yun Xuan had a relaxed and indifferent expression. “He’s no longer someone I can reach. Even if I force myself to stay by his side, what good would it do? I would only hold him back. It’s better to leave now and leave a beautiful memory in each other’s hearts. That’s enough.”

“Won’t you regret it in the future？” Ruan Xinyu pressed persistently.

“There’s nothing to regret.”

“Forget it, do as you please. Anyway, it’s your own business. Don’t come crying to me in the future and say that you didn’t seize today’s opportunity.”

“I definitely won’t！” Yun Xuan’s expression was melancholy. She looked back and a layer of misty moisture filled her beautiful eyes. She knew better than anyone that in that man’s heart, she was probably just a passing acquaintance. If not, he would surely have chased after her.

……

After Yang Kai returned to the Nine Heavens Holy Land, he immediately summoned Xu Hui and the others. Upon hearing the summons, all the elders and protectors came one after another.

“Holy Lord, as you ordered, the disciples are all ready and can set off at any time！” Xu Hui clasped his fists and said.

Yang Kai nodded： “Come with me！”

Everyone didn’t know what he was going to do, but they didn’t ask too much, just followed behind Yang Kai.

Shuttling among the nine peaks, in a short while, they came to a huge bluestone. On that bluestone, the words ‘Holy Mausoleum’ were engraved in a flamboyant manner.

The Holy Mausoleum is the resting place of the Holy Lords of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. The corpses of countless sages are buried inside. Arriving here, the expressions of several Dharma Protector Elders became solemn.

“You have been curious about where the place to place several thousand disciples is. Why don’t you ask now?” Yang Kai stood in front of the bluestone and looked at everyone with a smile.

Everyone’s expressions froze, and they immediately understood.

Xu Hui was extremely astonished: “Holy Lord, the place you mentioned couldn’t be…

Besides here, where else do you think I can place you? Yang Kai nodded slightly. “The Holy Mausoleum is the best place.”

“Absolutely not!” Xu Hui’s face changed drastically. “This is the place where the Holy Lords rest in peace. How can we go in and disturb them?”

“When a person dies, it’s like a lamp going out. There’s nothing that can’t be done.” Yang Kai shook his head.

“There are rules in the Holy Land. Except for the Holy Lord and the Holy Maiden, no one else is allowed to enter the Holy Mausoleum！”

“The rules are dead, but people are alive, Great Elder.” Yang Kai tried hard to persuade.

“Although that’s true, but… no, really no. If we enter the Holy Mausoleum, wouldn’t that be ignoring the rules set by our ancestors？ How could we still have prestige in front of the disciples in the future？”

“You old stubborn…” Yang Kai was amused by him and turned his gaze to the other elders and protectors, asking, “What do you think？”

Shi Kun had a hard look on his face and quickly averted his gaze.

Meng Tianfei and Luo Sheng also had no intention of expressing their opinions.

Cheng Yuetong opened her thin lips, wanted to say something, but didn’t say it out.

“A group of useless people！” Yu Ying snorted coldly and said solemnly, “Holy Lord, although the Great Elder is indeed a bit pedantic and stubborn, but in this matter, I think the Great Elder is right.”

“You think so too？” Yang Kai looked at this beautiful woman in surprise.

Yu Ying nodded seriously.

Yang Kai rubbed his forehead and turned his gaze to the last person： “An Ling’er…”

“Don’t ask me. I’m just a little girl and don’t understand anything.” An Ling’er hurriedly distanced herself.

Yang Kai gritted his teeth and looked at her. He had hoped that she could stand on his side, but I didn’t expect that at the critical moment this little girl actually ignored him too.

“Really not possible？” Yang Kai looked at Xu Hui again and asked in a deep voice.

“Other matters can be easily discussed. If the Holy Lord gives an order, even if it means taking this old man’s life, this old man will offer it up immediately. But this matter…” Xu Hui’s voice was sonorous. He had a look of loyalty and righteousness, as if risking his life to offer advice. It was as if Yang Kai was a fatuous and unjust Holy Lord.

“Fine！” Before he could finish, Yang Kai interrupted him. “Then you all fend for yourselves. In a couple of days, Zhang Ao and his group will break in. The Great Venerable of the Monster Race will also lead the powerful experts of the Monster Race to charge in. At that time, let’s see who among you can still be alive. Farewell.”

With that said, he was about to leave.

Xu Hui was quick-witted and reached out to grab Yang Kai’s clothes, tightly grasping them and refusing to let go. He asked in surprise, “Holy Lord, where are you going？”

“You all are sitting here waiting to die. I still have a bright future. I won’t keep you company. Of course, I’m going to leave.” Yang Kai had a matter-of-fact look.

“But if you leave, what will happen to the Holy Land？” Xu Hui was suddenly a little flustered.

“It has nothing to do with me. I found a way out for you all, but you don’t want to take it. Do you still expect me to accompany you to your deaths? Yang Kai curled his lip, looking dismissive. “Sorry, I’m not that noble.”

“This…” Xu Hui was suddenly speechless, thinking that young people were indeed young people. They acted vigorously. Before, he had acted like a Holy Lord quite well. Why did he suddenly change his mindset and become indifferent to the Holy Land?

“Besides…” Yang Kai snorted. “As the Holy Lord, if no one follows the decisions I make, why should I stay here？ Even if we get through this crisis, I’m afraid I’ll just be a puppet at your mercy in the future.”

“We don’t dare！” Xu Hui was extremely scared.

“Then why are you still holding me back？”

Xu Hui quickly let go, feeling extremely embarrassed.

“Alright！” Yu Ying lightly scolded and gave Yang Kai a reproachful look. “The Holy Lord should have the dignity of the Holy Lord. How can you be so cheeky? Look at what you’ve done to the Great Elder.”

As she spoke, she whispered sighed and looked at Xu Hui, saying, “Great Elder, what do you think…”

Xu Hui’s expression was hesitant, and he hesitated for a long time. While thinking, he secretly observed Yang Kai’s reaction. After a while, he said helplessly, “Since the Holy Lord has made such a proposal… but we can’t break the rules set by our ancestors. Let’s take a vote. Coincidentally, there are seven people besides the Holy Lord. If most people agree to enter the Holy Mausoleum, then… that’s the only way.”

“That’s fine too.” Yu Ying nodded.

“Then who doesn’t agree to enter the Holy Mausoleum？ Raise your hand and let me see.” Yang Kai asked while scanning the crowd.

The Great Elder quickly raised his hand to indicate.

The remaining five Protector Elders and Saintess An Ling’er looked at each other and remained motionless.

“You guys…” The Great Elder looked at the crowd in surprise and astonishment, with a very hurt expression, as if he didn’t expect that no one would share the same ideals and beliefs with him in maintaining the ancestral rules.

“Sly…” Yu Ying muttered softly. She knew that if Yang Kai asked in another way, I’m afraid the result would be different.

After all, the new Holy Lord is a young man. Who would be willing to refute his opinion at this time？ If it’s not done well, it might really make him have a repulsive heart towards the Holy Land and throw down the burden and not do it anymore.

No one can afford this responsibility.

“Great Elder, I concede.” Yang Kai clasped his fists with a smile.

Xu Hui couldn’t help but smile bitterly： “Since things have come to this, I won’t say much more. Let’s just do as the Holy Lord wishes.”

“I’m doing this for your own good. Don’t have an unhappy look. If the previous Holy Lords of the Holy Land knew about it, I’m afraid they would also forgive you.”

“I hope so.”

With the help of the Holy Lord’s Spirit Ring, the Holy Tomb was opened. The crowd followed Yang Kai into it. Everyone’s expression was extremely serious, as pious as a pilgrimage.

Looking at the small Mysterious Realm that had no sun, moon, stars, no white clouds or blue sky, only a small city-sized one, the crowd couldn’t help but have a feeling of unreality.

“This is the Holy Tomb？” Yu Ying muttered softly, and a hint of disappointment couldn’t help but appear in her beautiful eyes. The scene in front of her was completely different from what she had imagined.

In her imagination, the Holy Mausoleum was a peaceful place with green mountains and clear waters, and the fragrance of flowers and the chirping of birds.

But here, there was a gust of yin energy, fluorescent lights flickering all around, and the light was dim, making it as creepy as a ghost domain.

The others were also looking around with curiosity and surprise. Only the Great Elder Xu Hui kept bowing and saluting in all directions, murmuring something in his mouth, as if afraid that their arrival would disturb the sleep of the previous Holy Lords.

The energy is so rich.” Cheng Yuetong took a light breath, and her full breasts rose and fell exaggeratedly, with a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes.”

The heaven and earth energy between the nine peaks was already not bad, but compared with that in the Holy Mausoleum it was still inferior. Secretly thinking that no wonder the old Holy Lord liked to retreat and cultivate here.

The environment is a bit poor, but as a place for hiding one’s strength and biding one’s time, it couldn’t be more suitable.” Yang Kai chuckled. “Speaking of which, when I first came here, I was also startled by this rich spiritual energy. I don’t know where this spiritual energy comes from. Well, this small profound realm is much smaller than ordinary small profound realms, but it’s no problem to accommodate all the disciples of the Holy Land.

From what the Holy Lord means, you have also been to other small profound realms？” Cheng Yuetong’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she looked at Yang Kai in surprise.”

Although the small mysterious realm is publicly recognized by the world, the number of people who have actually entered and exited the small mysterious realm is extremely small. This kind of mysterious space independent of the continent has extremely hidden entrances and is very difficult to be discovered by people.

Yang Kai chuckled and exchanged a glance with An Ling’er, and everything was understood without words.

“Where are the coffins of the previous generations of Holy Lords？ Why are there none to be seen？” Xu Hui only then looked around, and upon seeing this, he couldn’t help but be extremely astonished. “There should be many coffins here.”

Yang Kai’s face twitched, and he asked tentatively, “How do you know there are coffins here？”

“There should be. Each generation of the previous Holy Lords would forge a coffin for themselves and send it into the Holy Mausoleum… and this place is also a bit too clean. There is actually nothing here.”

After hearing him say this, everyone just then discovered something was amiss. The Holy Mausoleum was completely flat, as if it had been cut by a knife. Although the ground was covered with dust and fine powder, there were also some traces left after the violent surging of energy.

“That’s right. Where are the corpses of the previous generations of Holy Lords？” Shi Kun scratched his head and looked around.

“There may still be some unknown secrets in the Holy Mausoleum… Well, I also didn’t find anything when I came here last time.” Yang Kai said hastily.

If Xu Hui were to know that because he fused that drop of Demon God’s golden blood and completely destroyed all the skeletons and coffins in the entire Holy Mausoleum, he really didn’t know what this old guy would think.
