Chapter 1854
byYang Kai looked at him and smiled slightly, “Why are you inquiring about this?”
Zi Wuji said in a deep voice, “The Lost Land is so dangerous that even a figure as powerful as my father has fallen. My eldest brother should not be safe and sound. He was able to survive, perhaps it is the Venerable’s credit. So now only the Venerable knows the whereabouts of my eldest brother.
“So what if it is?” Yang Kai raised the corner of his mouth and said, “What? Does Young Master Wuji want this Seat to hand your big brother over to you for disposal?”
Zi Wuji was terrified and quickly waved his hand and said, “Dare not! Wuji definitely doesn’t have such an idea. My big brother and I are brothers of the same womb. Now that father has fallen, how could Wuji have other thoughts about my big brother? It’s just that Wuji wants to ask, did you come to Purple Star this time entrusted by my big brother?”
“Ridiculous. What is this Seat’s identity? Even if he is the young master of Purple Star, he has no right to inquire about this Seat’s actions.
Zi Wuji was overjoyed and said, “This is good. Since you have a life-and-death friendship with my father, you will surely not bear to see the power of Purple Star fall into the hands of others. If this is really the case, how can father rest in peace under the spring? Please help me, Venerable!”
Yang Kai remained silent, as if he was meditating.
Seeing that there was a chance, Zi Wuji quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, “Since you have met my big brother, you must also know what kind of character he is. In your opinion, who is more suitable to sit on the position of the master of Purple Star?”
When saying this, Zi Wuji no longer conceals his ambition, and a pair of eyes shone brightly.
Yang Kai said indifferently, “Although Zi Donglai’s talent is not bad, in terms of stability and scheming, he is indeed not as good as you. He can become a strong person, but he will definitely not be able to become a hegemon in one side.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Venerable!” Zi Wuji accepted it without hesitation and said in a deep voice, “Venerable, my father and eldest brother have been missing for almost two years. Although their remaining prestige is still there, the Great Elder has been constantly stirring up trouble. If we delay any longer, the situation on Purple Star will be bad. Since Venerable has accepted the Venerable Order given by my father, Wuji will naturally regard you as one of our own. If we can get the help of Venerable, great things can be accomplished.”
“You are so sure?” Yang Kai frowned.
Zi Wuji smiled confidently: “On Purple Star, our Zi family is the orthodox!” Wuji has been biding his time for so many years. Now that he dares to jump out and compete with that old bastard, he naturally doesn’t have nothing. What is lacking now is just a key figure who can compete with that old bastard! And the arrival of Venerable just makes Wuji see hope!
Yang Kai looked at Zi Wuji in was somewhat surprised and found that he still underestimated this guy. Listening to his tone it seems that he has already gathered a lot of powerful warriors to serve him.
He is too lazy to worry about the power disputes on Purple Star. After all, his purpose is only the Star Emperor Order. However, the last time he sneaked into Purple Star Palace and startled the snake. If this time he can use the hand of Zi Wuji to get that thing out, it would also be a good way.
With this thought in mind, Yang Kai pretended to be lost in thought.
Zi Wuji didn’t dare to disturb rashly and could only stand there nervously waiting.
After a long time, just when Zi Wuji was feeling extremely anxious, Yang Kai suddenly spoke up and said, “Young Master Wuji is so open and sincere, and so astute, which makes this seat very gratified. I believe that if Zi Long knew in the underworld, he could also smile contentedly.”
“Your Eminence means…” Zi Wuji looked at Yang Kai in surprise and joy.
“It’s not impossible for me to help you. As an Eminence, I should naturally contribute to Purple Star. This seat is not a cold-blooded person either. Naturally, I can’t let the foundation of Purple Star fall into the hands of others. However…”
“If Your Eminence has any requirements, just state them directly. If Wuji can handle it, I will definitely not decline!” Zi Wuji was very understanding and interrupted before Yang Kai could finish speaking.
“Very good.” Yang Kai nodded in satisfaction. “This seat has only two requirements. The first is that this seat wants to enter your Purple Star’s treasure vault and take something from it. That is something your father promised to give me!”
“The treasure vault!” Zi Wuji’s expression changed in surprise, and then he smiled bitterly and said, “Your Eminence may not know that Wuji also has a little understanding of the Purple Star treasure vault. It is located in the most heavily guarded place of Purple Star Palace. Although Wuji can get close, without the key, it is impossible to open it. Wuji has never entered the treasure vault. Only father and eldest brother have entered there.”
“I have the key.” Yang Kai said. “There is no need for the Second Young Master to worry about this.”
“Father’s key is in Your Eminence’s hands?” Zi Wuji was extremely astonished.
“Yes!” Yang Kai nodded.
Zi Wuji’s complexion changed slightly, and it was not known what he was thinking of, but it quickly converged, and he nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then the matter is not difficult to handle. As the second son, Wuji naturally has the right to approach the Treasury. Just leave this matter to me.”
“Very good.” Yang Kai nodded in satisfaction. “The second thing is to release those people from the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce.”
Upon hearing this, Zi Wuji had a look of depression on his face and said helplessly, “You do not know, Those people were not imprisoned by Wuji, but by the Great Elder. The caretaker people are all the Great Elder’s cronies.
“Of course I know it was him.” Yang Kai snorted coldly. “The second son is now too busy to take care of himself. How could he have the leisure to detain the people of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce? However, this seat is very curious. Why did the Great Elder do this?”
Zi Wuji’s complexion darkened and said, “If Wuji didn’t guess wrong, it was probably also a means for that old bastard to target me.”
“I’m all ears!” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows.
“The Hengluo Chamber of Commerce is a behemoth, stronger than our Purple Star. Among the people who came to Purple Star this time, the leader seems to be the son of the president of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce. The Great Elder detained him. If the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce finds out, they will naturally take action. This matter can be big or small. Speaking of it on a large scale, it is a conflict between the two major forces and is very likely to cause a war between the two sides. Speaking of it on a small scale, it is not worth mentioning. As long as those people are not in danger of their lives. If the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce really gets the news and comes to ask for people, the Great Elder only needs to hand over a scapegoat at will, and then the big thing can be reduced to a small thing and the small thing can be reduced to nothing. I believe that the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce will not be willing to have a direct conflict with Purple Star because of this little thing. Of course, the scapegoat handed over must have a certain weight. Naturally, an insignificant person cannot calm the anger of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce!”
“That scapegoat is probably you?” Yang Kai understood in his heart.
Besides me, is there anyone else on Purple Star who can take on this role? If Purple is handed over, then Purple Star will really change its surname.
“So that’s the case.” Yang Kai finally understood why Purple Star would suddenly detain Shen Tu and the others. It turned out to be a means used by the Great Elder to deal with Purple. I can only say that Shen Tu didn’t check the almanac when he went out and fell headlong into this vortex of right and wrong.”
“So, if the Venerable wants to save people, he has to deal with that old bastard first!”
“I see.” Yang Kai nodded.
“Honored One, do you know those people from the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce?” Zi Wuji couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked.
Yang Kai glanced at him indifferently.
Zi Wuji immediately smiled awkwardly and said, “Wuji spoke out of turn.”
“Well, now I want to know how the Second Young Master plans to deal with the Great Elder. Don’t tell me you don’t have a complete plan.”
“Naturally not!” An excited look appeared on Zi Wuji’s face. “Wuji has been preparing for a long time, just waiting for this day to come. Now with the help of the Honored One, the great matter will surely succeed. Wuji’s plan is like this…”
Immediately, Zi Wuji revealed all his thoughts.
Yang Kai listened quietly, secretly surprised in his heart. He never expected that with Zi Wuji’s means and abilities, he could have been hiding his true colors until today, and among the Zi Star, the number of powerhouses he had subdued was also countless.
This kid is really remarkable in hiding his true strength and biding his time.
After listening, Yang Kai silently calculated and felt that this matter was really likely to succeed. Immediately, he looked at Zi Wuji with a higher opinion and said, “If the Zi Star can be controlled by the Second Young Master, it will surely be even more glorious in the future.”
“The Honored One is too kind in praise.” Zi Wuji smiled modestly.
“Well, it’s getting late. Let’s stop here today. When that day comes, this Seat will naturally come to find the Second Young Master.”
“Wuji respectfully sees off the Venerable!” Zi Wuji stood up and bowed deeply to the ground.
Walking out of the room, Yang Kai greeted Li Nuo and then led Hua Youmeng towards the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce.
In the private room, Zi Wuji couldn’t hide the joy between his brows and laughed silently.
When Ji Jun came in and saw him like this, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised and said, “Young Master, did you reach an agreement with that adult?”
Zi Wuji nodded.
Ji Jun’s right fist hit his left palm and he said excitedly, “That’s great. After shrinking back for so many days, we can finally feel elated. But Young Master, can that adult be trusted?”
Hearing Ji Jun’s question, Zi Wuji also restrained the joy on his face and said, “He should be able to. This adult doesn’t have a strong sense of belonging to my Purple Star, so he won’t be loyal to that side. As long as I can meet his requirements, he can be used by me. However, although that’s the case, we still can’t not guard against it… Elder Ji, come with me back to the Purple Star Palace to see my mother.”
Ji Jun’s expression became solemn and he said, “Young Master, are you going to ask that adult to take action?”
Zi Wuji said, “That’s right. There is more than one Venerable in my Purple Star.”
……
After bringing Hua Youmeng back to the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce, Yang Kai began to go into seclusion and also instructed the people of the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce not to run around casually in the recent period of time.
Actually, there was no need for him to give instructions. When Hua Youmeng brought back more than two hundred million Saint Crystals, Xia Jingwu and the others were all shocked.
Such a huge amount of Saint Crystals, in the past they had only heard of it in the conversations of others and simply couldn’t imagine that they could possess it. But today it was actually placed in the front of them.
No one dared to believe that this was true.
It was not until more than half a day later that everyone accepted this reality. Immediately under the auspices of Hua Youmeng, 20 million Saint Crystals were divided to go and purchase precious cultivation resources.
In the following few days, all the people in the Five Directions Chamber of Commerce were actually in seclusion so how could they have the leisure to go out and run around?
