Chapter 1011
byAn accidental discovery made Yang Kai’s mood fluctuate between gain and loss. Yang Kai didn’t know if that ball of energy was the Star Source or not.
Under the strict surveillance of the Ghost Ancestor, he didn’t dare to conduct an in-depth exploration and could only let it go at that.
However, he also had his own speculation. If it was really the Star Source, it must have been formed within the past one thousand and five hundred years, or it could deceive the Ghost Ancestor’s exploration. Otherwise, it would never have been able to remain safe and sound and be ignored by the Ghost Ancestor.
A wisp of Yang Kai’s Divine Sense had not been withdrawn either. It had always remained there, being nourished and strengthened by that mysterious energy.
He planned to come back and check the situation when he had the opportunity in the future.
The wisp of Divine Sense left there could provide him with an accurate position.
Yang Kai did this without leaving a trace, quietly and without attracting too much attention from the Ghost Ancestor.
As time passed, Yang Kai’s attainments in the mysteries of space grew deeper and deeper. His Divine Sense spread out and could easily cover half of the continent. The Divine Sense containing the subtleties of space leaped and shuttled through the void, and could easily reach any position he wanted to spy on.
He investigated that colorful sky many times, constantly experimenting. After countless strands of Divine Sense were lost in the chaotic domain field, he finally had some confidence in leaving here.
He remained calm and did not make a fuss, continuing to investigate and experiment, striving to achieve perfection and not make mistakes.
Every day, Yang Kai would report the situation to Ghost Ancestor, but he did not reveal the truth, so Ghost Ancestor knew nothing about it.
On this day, Yang Kai returned from the colorful sky. Just as he came to the flat ground on the mountainside, he smelled a bloody smell floating in the air.
His face changed slightly, and his Divine Sense spread out, quickly detecting something amiss.
The people still alive on this continent were currently gathered in one place, and the atmosphere was heavy, as if they were discussing something.
“What’s going on？” Yang Kai walked over and asked.
“Someone died！” Shen Tu’s face looked ugly.
Yang Kai was surprised and looked ahead. Sure enough, he saw a martial artist lying on the ground, his vitality gone. His whole body’s flesh and blood seemed to have endured great pressure, and burst open in an instant making his corpse look horrible.
“Which side’s person？” Yang Kai asked.
“Our people！” He Zao replied gloomily.
He Miao and Yue Xi had expressions of grief and indignation. Even Lv Guichen couldn’t help but show a hint of sadness like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.
At the beginning, more than a hundred warriors from their Purple Star and Sword League were stranded here. But after more than a year, only a dozen people were still alive. They had lived in peace for several months, but now, another person died right under their noses.
Everyone didn’t even know how he died.
“Who killed him？” Yang Kai raised his head and asked.
No one dared to answer, and they all smiled bitterly.
Yang Kai suddenly understood. Here, except for Ghost Ancestor, who dared to kill people, no one else had the courage.
That old monster seemed to be in a very bad mood. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have attacked a junior for no reason.
“Yang Kai, can you go and say a word to Ghost Ancestor？ We have no intention of rebelling against him. So can you please ask him not to kill anymore？” He Zao pursed her red lips and looked at Yang Kai and said.
This time, it was a warrior from the Sword League who died. If Ghost Ancestor wants to kill again next time, who will suffer？
Maybe it’s someone else, maybe it’s oneself！
Among the people present, except for Yang Kai, who could sleep peacefully, everyone else had to be on tenterhooks！
And once Ghost Ancestor kills all the people here and can’t see the hope of leaving, he probably won’t spare Yang Kai’s life anymore. He will use the soul-searching technique to strip Yang Kai’s memory, devour his understanding of the mysteries of space, and burn the bridges behind him to study the method of leaving by himself.
“That’s right, Yang Kai.” Shen Tu also spoke up. “You’re the only one here who can talk to Ghost Ancestor… I don’t really want to die.
The others all looked at him eagerly, regarding him as a life-saving straw.
Yang Kai nodded slightly： “I’ll talk to him, but whether he can listen or not, I don’t know.”
“Just being able to talk is enough.” Shen Tu smiled helplessly.
“He Zao, He Miao. Come with me to bury him.” Yue Xi said softly.
“Yes.” The only three remaining people in the Sword League worked together to carry away the corpse of the dead martial artist and found a place to bury it.
Yang Kai turned around and walked into the mountain belly. After turning a few corners in the corridor, he familiarly found the stone room where Ghost Ancestor lived.
Yang Kai had never been to this stone room before. He only knew that Ghost Ancestor lived here. This was his first time coming.
The entire stone chamber was very different from other places. It seemed to be plunged into endless darkness, without a trace of light. In the stone chamber, there were faint phantoms shuttling, and strands of energy like ghosts were swimming inside. As soon as he came here, Yang Kai felt his whole body turn cold, and the terrifying sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling rang in his ears, shocking his mind, and strange scenes appeared in front of his eyes in an instant.
In those scenes, there were ghosts with green faces and fangs pouncing towards him, Youdaoplaceholder0 to gnaw on his flesh and blood and soul, and pull him into the netherworld, never to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
His whole body was stiff and he couldn’t move.
Clusters of demonic flames suddenly emerged from his flesh and blood, connecting into a piece, making him look as if he was burning.
He broke free from the illusion.
The strange laughter of Ghost Ancestor rang in his ears, and he snorted lightly and said, “Kid, what are you doing here？”
Yang Kai frowned, allowing the demonic flames to continue burning, dispelling the influence of the ghosts on himself. After pondering his words for a long time, he said, “Senior killed someone today？”
Ghost Ancestor laughed and said, “What’s the big deal about killing someone？ You wouldn’t come to see this old man just because of such a trivial matter, would you？”
Yang Kai said in a deep voice, “They are very nervous and afraid that the next one will be themselves.”
“Well, it’s right to be nervous.” The Ghost Ancestor seemed very happy. “This boring continent, these boring days, I’m already tired of them. I’m just looking for some fun. I just like to see people living in fear and anxiety. Let them be nervous.”
“Just because of boredom, so you kill people？”
“So what？” The Ghost Ancestor snorted. The dark stone chamber suddenly lit up. The strange stones originally dotted on the stone wall emitted light. The Ghost Ancestor was sitting right in the center of the stone chamber. A pair of gloomy eyes stared at Yang Kai, laughing lowly. “You come here to plead for them？ You’re not this kind of person, are you？ Even if I kill them all, you won’t feel the slightest bit of compassion.”
“Senior is joking. This junior is also a human. There are still several people in there who are this junior’s friends. Naturally, I don’t want you to continue killing wantonly.”
“Friends？” The Ghost Ancestor was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing. “You can deceive others, but you can’t deceive me. Well, you do have some friendship with several of those people, but it’s far from the extent that you would go against me for them. To put it simply, if you have benefits, you will bring them along. But if you are facing a crisis, you won’t sacrifice your life for them. You’re not stupid. You know what will happen if you go against me！”
Yang Kai was silent. The Ghost Ancestor seemed to have hit the mark on his thoughts.
“You’re afraid that if I kill all those people, I will come after you!” The Ghost Ancestor shouted.
Yang Kai nodded frankly, “That’s right, senior has clear vision. This junior indeed has such concerns！”
The Ghost Ancestor gently nodded, “If you really have such concerns, you might as well work harder and find a way to leave as soon as possible – before this old man kills all those people and attacks you. I believe in your ability, and I believe even more that you haven’t done your best yet.”
“This junior already has some clues.” Yang Kai frowned and said.
The Ghost Ancestor’s body trembled, and a brilliant light shone in his eyes. He shouted, “Good, good, having clues is good. Well, this news makes this old man very happy. This old man’s mood will probably last for a while. You continue to work hard and don’t t disappoint this old man!
“This junior takes his leave！” Yang Kai cupped his fists and quickly retreated.
In the moment of turning around, Yang Kai’s expression became solemn.
He suddenly understood that the Ghost Ancestor killed someone not because of a bad mood, but to warn himself and put pressure on himself.
He should have been alerted to his own concealment, otherwise he wouldn’t have suddenly started killing people.
It’s just that he doesn’t know exactly what he is hiding and is not easy to clarify, so he uses this means.
He wants to tell himself that his patience is limited. If he can’t satisfy him anymore, the person who died will be his own future end！”
Yang Kai’s heart was as bright as a mirror, so he finally had to comfort the Ghost Ancestor with a sentence.
But it won’t be able to comfort for long. The next time the Ghost Ancestor is impatient, he may really take action against himself.
Yang Kai’s complexion was ugly, and a deep sense of powerlessness couldn’t help but well up.
He had always planned to leave secretly after finding a way out, ignoring Ghost Ancestor and letting him continue to be trapped here and die of old age！
But the huge difference in strength lies between them made Yang Kai.
He realized that his idea was a bit unrealistic.
Even if he really succeeded in finding a way out, before he could leave safely, he was afraid that he would be stopped by Ghost Ancestor.
Yang Kai was thinking deeply, wondering if he should believe the oath that Ghost Ancestor had issued before and leave here with him, so that everyone would be happy.
Doing so was undoubtedly very risky. Yang Kai didn’t know if he could really keep his promise.
All kinds of thoughts shuttled and circulated in Yang Kai’s mind like lightning, and his expression became more and more serious.
Back in his own stone room, Yang Kai sat cross-legged, recovering the power he had consumed while thinking hard.
There was a slight sound of footsteps outside, and Bi Ya came uninvited. She came to Yang Kai’s back lightly, pressed her plump and hot body against Yang Kai’s back, and gently kneaded Yang Kai’s shoulders with her two small hands.
She opened her red lips lightly and said, “Master, when that day really comes and we can leave, can you take this servant with you？”
“Naturally.” Yang Kai said casually.
Biya smiled bitterly, not stopping the movements of her hands as she said softly, “You don’t have to perfunctorily me. I know you never had the intention to take me away with you… After all, I had been rude and disrespectful to you before, and I’m not a good person either.”
She suddenly became self-pitying, leaving Yang Kai completely confused and not knowing what she was up to.
