Chapter 864

After half a day of busyness, the disciples in the Saint Mausoleum all walked out.

Yang Kai once again sealed the Saint Mausoleum and summoned the several Elder and An Ling’er together.

It seemed that they perceive that he had something to say, so everyone silently looked at him and said nothing.

“There is something I want to tell you.” Yang Kai frowned, organizing his words.

“If the Saint Lord has something to say, just say it directly. Your subordinates are all ears! Xu Hui chuckled, not knowing why Yang Kai looked a bit troubled.

“As long as it’s not leaving the Holy Land and giving up the position of Saint Lord, “we will promise you whatever you say,” Yu Ying chimed in with a smile.

“That’s right, that’s right！” The elders nodded one after another, afraid that Yang Kai would throw in the towel at any time like a few years ago. At that time, Yang Kai was really irresponsible and didn’t look like the Holy Master at all.

“That won’t happen.” Yang Kai smiled helplessly, and after pondering for a while, he said in a deep voice, “Let me put it this way. Before I met you, I met a group of people when my strength was very weak. And because of some special reasons, that group of people was sealed in a small profound realm. They begged me to find a way to rescue them and promised to serve me for life.”

“Oh？” Xu Hui raised his eyebrows. “They promised like this when the Holy Master was very weak. If it wasn’t just a casual statement, then they must have seen the potential of the Holy Master. Which kind are they？”

Xu Hui seemed a little worried about the character of the group of people Yang Kai mentioned, so he couldn’t help but inquire.

“They didn’t just say it casually. During the few years when you were hiding in the Holy Mausoleum, I rescued them just a few months ago. And as they promised at the beginning, they really followed me faithfully and obeyed me.”

“This group of people is not bad.” Cheng Yuetong pursed her lips and smiled. “They are trustworthy since they keep their word. Does the Holy Master want to absorb them into the Holy Land？”

As soon as Cheng Yuetong said this, the other elders thought of this possibility and looked at Yang Kai curiously one after another.

“They can’t be absorbed into the Holy Land… I just want to find a peak among these nine peaks for them to live in. I wonder what the elders think？”

“Can’t be absorbed？” Xu Hui furrowed his brows, but quickly relaxed them. “It doesn’t matter if they can’t be absorbed. Since they are the Holy Lord’s people, it’s only natural for them to live in the Holy Land. The Holy Land is so big, there’s no need to worry about not being able to accommodate that group of people…”

“That’s right…” Luo Sheng and Meng Tianfei also nodded together, agreeing with Xu Hui’s meaning.

“Don’t agree in a hurry. I haven’t finished yet. Make a decision after you listen！” Yang Kai smiled and continued, “There are probably about a thousand of them.”

“The number is quite large, but the Holy Land is enough to accommodate them.” Xu Hui nodded slightly and asked again, “What about their strength？ How strong is their strongest expert？”

“Five Saint Realm experts！”

“What？” The elders widened their eyes in an instant, and An Ling’er couldn’t help covering her small mouth, her beautiful eyes trembling slightly.

When Yang Kai was very weak, that group of people had already promised to serve him. Xu Hui and the others mistakenly thought that the strength of that group of people was not so good. Otherwise, how could they easily make such a promise？

In everyone’s speculation, that thousand or so people were probably from a declining sect or small family, and it would be quite good if there were a few Transcendent Realm martial artists in it.

But they didn’t expect that Yang Kai would actually tell them that there were five Saint Realm experts among that group of people！

This number is only a little bit less than that of the Jiutian Holy Land…

“Holy Lord, you’re not joking, are you？” Xu Hui couldn’t believe it.

“Do I look like I’m joking？” Yang Kai had a solemn expression. “Among those five Saint-Level cultivators, three are at the Second-Order Saint Realm, and two are at the First-Order Saint Realm！”

Everyone was dumbfounded and stood there stupidly.

Three Second-Order Saint Realm powerhouses and two First-Order Saint Realm cultivators. Although the number of Saint-Level cultivators is one less than that of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, if there is really a conflict, with their combat power, they can easily kill the powerhouses of the Nine Heavens Holy Land！

Xu Hui and the others immediately understood why Yang Kai was so serious about asking for their opinions.

They couldn’t determine the nature of those people. If there was really a conflict with the Holy Land in the future, Xu Hui and the others simply couldn’t resist.

The joy of leaving the Holy Mausoleum was instantly replaced by deep worry.

“Moreover, they are not ordinary people…” As if feeling that the elders hadn’t been shocked enough, Yang Kai added, “They are Demons!”

“Demons？” Yu Ying couldn’t help but scream.

Cheng Yuetong’s pretty face also turned pale in an instant.

Xu Hui remained silent, but anyone could see the shock and hesitation in his heart.

Yang Kai had revealed so much information. He didn’t know how to answer.

“You guys discuss it carefully. If you really can’t accept them staying in the Nine Heavens Holy Land, “just let me know and I will find another place to put them.” Yang Kai said lightly, without the meaning of forcing them and waved his hand and said: “Now you should first arrange the matters of the disciples. I told you about this matter to let you have a psychological preparation.”

Everyone was looking straight at Yang Kai, and none of them moved.

There is no need to be so perplexed. If they are not in the Nine Heavens Holy Land, I also have a place to accommodate them. “Yang Kai grinned and saw the difficulties of the crowd.

This was also within his expectations.

Xu Hui seemed to suddenly wake up and said with a solemn expression: “Holy Lord, I only ask one thing. Do those demons really obey you completely, or are they unruly and deceive you temporarily in order to leave that small Mysterious Realm and will break away from your control when they find a suitable opportunity in the future!

“You don’t have to worry about this.” Yang Kai smiled proudly and said, “Wherever my life points, they dare not disobey!”

The elders shook their looks.

Xu Hui let out a long sigh of relief and said freely: Then there is no problem. You are the master of the Holy Land. You can decide what kind of people to place here. We elders are just here to assist you and can only make suggestions. We don’t have the decision-making power! That the Holy Lord can consult us is already giving us great face…”

Yang Kai grinned and his gaze swept over the others.

Luo Sheng, Shi Kun, Meng Tianfei, Yu Ying, Cheng Yuetong, all had no objections. Although there was some worry in their expressions, they all looked at Yang Kai with trusting eyes.

“Then on behalf of those demons, I thank you all.” Yang Kai nodded seriously. “Well, the Holy Land has nine peaks, and they only need one. They will prepare their own living materials, so there is no need for the Holy Land to worry. I will also ask them to restrain themselves well and not conflict with the disciples of the Holy Land.”

“Then has the Holy Lord chosen which peak？” Xu Hui asked.

“Just take the peak where the Yingyue Pool is located.”

Because of the existence of the Yingyue Pool, that peak is extremely cold every night when the moon is out. The people who originally lived on and below the peak have all moved away. It can be said that among the nine peaks, it is the only one that is no one shows any interest in.

However, the ancient demons are born with a tough physique, and it should not be a problem for them to live there, as long as they don’t get too close to the Yingyue Pool.

Moreover, there are still many ready-made houses there, which also saves them from having to build again.

“Won’t they have any complaints？ Do we need to change to another peak？” Xu Hui couldn’t help but be a little worried.

“It’s okay. The environment in that small Mysterious Realm is much worse than here. They will be very satisfied to be able to live there.” Yang Kai chuckled.

“That’s it…” Xu Hui didn’t say anything more.

After learning that the group of demons had come to the Holy Land, Xu Hui immediately expressed his desire to go and meet them.

After all, everyone will live in the Nine Peaks in the future. Although they don’t belong to the same force, they can be regarded as living in the same place. It’s good to get to know each other’s faces so that it’s easier to discuss if there are any problems.

Especially, whether it’s the Nine Heavens Holy Land or that group of demons, they are all Yang Kai’s forces.

With such a common ground, Xu Hui felt that as long as there were no major problems, everything could be minimized.

Leaving Elder Meng Tianfei and Shi Kun to arrange the affairs of the disciples, Xu Hui and the others followed Yang Kai and came to the front of that great hall again.

The hundreds of alchemists and weapon refiners and the ancient demons were still waiting quietly. Although Yang Kai had been away for half a day, the ancient demons were all well-behaved and just looked around, not causing any trouble.

As the host, Xu Hui immediately welcomed the arrival of Li Rong and the others.

Li Rong and the others also smiled and returned the greeting. After chatting for a while, they found that the other party was not bad and not as difficult to talk to as they had imagined.

Especially Xu Hui, who felt that Li Rong was very understanding and completely did not look like a demon. Instead, she was a bit like a lady from a big family or a big sect who had been cultivated.

Couldn’t help but brighten up.

Yu Ying and Cheng Yuetong also had a strong interest in Han Fei. As women of the beautiful wife level, Han Fei’s cultivation was one level higher than theirs and her temperament was cold and clear, making them feel that there were many things they could learn from the other party.

Finding a common topic, the important people on both sides had a very happy discussion.

Yang Kai was left aside and seemed to have nothing to do.

After talking for a while, Li Rong suddenly said, “Oh, a few days ago, we caught a person with the Lord. It seems that she is the previous generation’s Holy Maiden of your Nine Heavens Holy Land. The Lord called her Saintess Nan！”

“Saintess Nan？” Xu Hui exclaimed and quickly looked around： “Where is she？”

Li Rong clapped her hands, and immediately a group of Ancient Demons brought the bound Saintess Nan over.

Seeing the current miserable appearance of this previous generation’s Holy Maiden, Xu Hui and the others couldn’t help but have their eyes turn red and feel sad.

An Ling’er even bursts into tears in an instant, stumbled over, and in Saintess Nan’s body, crying bitterly.

The relationship between the previous generation’s Holy Maiden and the current Holy Maiden is quite good. Saintess Nan has always treated An Ling’er as her own daughter. Unfortunately, after Saintess Nan died, she personally killed the other three saints, and even An Ling’er almost failed to escape misfortune.

Seeing each other again at this moment, how could An Ling’er suppress the sadness in her heart？

Xu Hui quietly wiped the corner of his eyes and turned his head away.

Li Rong and the others also seemed to be somewhat infected and sighed slightly.

After a long while, Yang Kai stepped forward and patted An Ling’er’s shoulder and said, “How to deal with Saintess Nan, you decide for yourself.”

An Ling’er nodded repeatedly, choking constantly, and led Nan Shenggu, who was like a walking corpse, gradually away.
