Chapter 2098

As soon as Yang Kai finished speaking, a person rushed in like lightning, brushed his hand, and the door was closed again.

Looking at the person who came, Yang Kai clasped his fists and smiled bitterly： “Old Man Qin！”

The person who came was none other than the old ancestor of the Qin family, Qin Zhaoyang.

“Brother Yang！” Qin Zhaoyang returned the salute, his face a little embarrassed.

Yang Kai said： “Old Man Qin, you are not recuperating in the clan. Why did you come here too？”

Qin Zhaoyang’s complexion was not very good, obviously because the injury from last time had not healed. But what made Yang Kai even more strange was that he did not come to visit him with Duan Yuanshan, but came here furtively alone.

Yang Kai’s mind turned, and he somewhat understood what he wanted to do.

“My injury is fine.” Qin Zhaoyang waved his hand, found a place to sit down on his own, and said： “I heard that Brother Yang you returned safely, so I rushed over in a hurry. Unexpectedly, the city lord and the others still arrived one step ahead.”

“So you hid outside？” Yang Kai chuckled.

“Some words are not convenient to say in front of the city lord.” Qin Zhaoyang said embarrassedly.

“Alas.” Yang Kai sighed and looked at Qin Zhaoyang sincerely and said: “I probably know what Old Man Qin means, but… forgive me for being bold and refusing.”

Qin Zhaoyang wondered： “You knew before I even said it？”

Yang Kai smiled bitterly and said： “Didn’t Old Man Qin come here to ask me to join your Qin family？”

“Did I show it that obviously？” Qin Zhaoyang was stunned.

Yang Kai nodded. “Old Man Qin has already hinted at it several times before. If I still couldn’t figure it out, wouldn’t I be a fool？ Moreover… it is said that the industries of the Jiang Family will also be taken over by the Qin Family. The Qin Family has swallowed such a huge foundation of the Jiang Family in one gulp. Without sufficient martial force deterrence, I’m afraid it won’t be able to suppress the hearts of others who are eager to move.”

“Little brother understands me!” Qin Zhaoyang’s eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly and said, That’s exactly the case. That’s why I came here to hire little brother as the Supreme Elder of my Qin family. Your status will be the same as mine.At that time, if we join hands, I believe the other old fellow won’t dare to act presumptuously! ”

Yang Kai sighed and said, “I just rejected the position of deputy city lord promised by City Lord Duan！”

When Qin Zhaoyang heard this, his face suddenly darkened. He said disappointedly, “Oh…”

Both of them were intelligent people, and Yang Kai didn’t need to explain too much. Qin Zhaoyang knew that he had no chance.

Yang Kai had just rejected Duan Yuanshan’s solicitation. If he agreed to Qin Zhaoyang in a blink of an eye, if Duan Yuanshan found out in the future, he would definitely offend him. Duan Yuanshan would think that Yang Kai looked down on him and might even hold a grudge.

At that time, the Qin family would also be unable to stay out of it.

Hiring a Taishang Elder but offending the City Lord’s Mansion, this deal is not cost-effective. Qin Zhaoyang knows it clearly in his heart.

Looking at Qin Zhaoyang, Yang Kai said with some shame, “Originally, Old Man Qin passed on to me the method of setting up and evolving the Black Tortoise Seven-section Array. If the Qin Family has any needs, I will also be duty-bound. But this matter… If I agree, it will be harmful rather than beneficial to the Qin Family, and can only disappoint Old Man Qin.”

“I understand.” Qin Zhaoyang nodded and said.

“However…” Yang Kai changed the subject and said, “If the Qin Family has anything that needs my help in the future, I can still take action as a friend. At that time, please don’t be polite, Old Man Qin！”

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoyang raised his brows and chuckled, “With Brother Yang’s words, I’m relieved.”

He looked overjoyed and very happy.

Although the established goal of this trip was not achieved, with Yang Kai’s guarantee, it could be regarded as a worthwhile trip.

Qin Zhaoyang said with great meaning, “Perhaps, I will soon have something that requires Brother Yang’s help！”

Yang Kai nodded and said, “I’ll wait for your news.”

On that day, Qin Zhaoyang passed on the complete method of setting up the Black Tortoise Seven-section Array to Yang Kai through a jade slip. He originally only wanted to exchange for a promise from him, that is, to protect Qin Yu’s safety in a critical moment. If the city was broken, he could take Qin Yu away together.

But the subsequent development was beyond everyone’s expectations. A Demon Calamity was safely passed like this, and that promise naturally became invalid.

And Yang Kai, having received the other party’s favor but rejecting his, indeed felt a bit uneasy in his heart. He also intended to find an opportunity to return this favor.

Subsequently, the two chatted casually for a few more words, and then Qin Zhaoyang got up to take his leave.

He had an injury and was in urgent need of recuperation. Moreover, now that the Qin family was taking over a large number of the Jiang family’s industries, the clan was extremely busy and really had no time to spare. Time was precious, so naturally he couldn’t delay any longer.

After Qin Zhaoyang left, Yang Kai finally had complete leisure and quickly began to regulate his breath.

A bout of demonization had made him a bit weak. The power far beyond his cultivation level that had been displayed on him was not without a price.

For several consecutive days, Yang Kai remained in the side room.

Until one day, he opened his eyes again, with brilliant light shining and looking full of energy. The previous fatigue and weakness had disappeared, and he had completely returned to his original state.

After feeling the condition of his own body, Yang Kai determined that there were no remaining hidden troubles, and then he felt at ease.

He didn’t go out immediately. Instead, he sacrificed the Mysterious Realm Pearl, and with a flash of his figure, he entered the Small Mysterious Realm.

The Small Mysterious Realm was still completely peaceful. Yang Kai silently sensed for a moment and couldn’t help but let out a surprised huh. He discovered that in a certain place in the Small Mysterious Realm, there was an extremely powerful force surging continuously.

With a shaking of his figure, he directly arrived at that position.

In front, Liu Yan was sitting cross-legged, one hand held empty, and the other hand had two fingers together facing the sky Youdaoplaceholder0 in a posture and the art of operation.

Her power of thunder and fire was violent and restless. With her as the center, within a radius of more than ten miles on the ground, thunder snakes were swimming and flames were churning.

And behind Liu Yan, there was a huge virtual shadow, soaring in the sky and earth, as if about to flap its wings and fly.

“Luanfeng！” Yang Kai took a look at that virtual shadow and was immediately shocked.

That virtual shadow was actually the figure of the ancient holy spirit Luanfeng that he had witnessed up close before. It was just not a living thing, but a projection.

But even though it was a projection, it still exuded the breath of the holy spirit. On the surface of the virtual shadow, black flames were rolling and the overwhelming momentum was irresistible.

Liu Yan’s expression was extremely difficult, as if she was some secret technique and had reached a critical juncture.

Yang Kai watched for a while and then knew that she was refining that Luanfeng feather at the moment. Although the progress was not particularly smooth, it was not very difficult either.

He was powerless about this kind of thing. Even though he was the master of the Little Mysterious Realm, he couldn’t help Liu Yan at all. All that could be relied on was her own will and determination.

If the refinement was successful, Liu Yan would definitely have her strength improved. If it failed, there was a high possibility of suffering a backlash！

Fortunately, Liuyan has been devouring the True Solar Fire within the True Essence of the Sun to temper herself over the years and has long been accustomed to this kind of ultra-high-intensity energy entering her body. Otherwise, with just her strength at the First-Order Dao Source Realm, she simply wouldn’t be able to refine that Divine Feather of the Luanfeng.

Even so, whether it’s a success or failure still depends on her own good fortune.

The Law Body was sitting cross-legged in the distance, closely monitoring Liuyan’s situation.

Seeing the gaze of the main body looking over, the Law Body simply nodded slightly, and everything was understood without words.

With the Law Body watching over, if anything happened to Liuyan, he would be able to find out in the first instant, so Yang Kai left with peace of mind.

With another shaking of his figure, he had arrived at another place in the Small Mysterious Realm.

This place was empty, but a shivering figure was sitting on the ground with her knees hugged as if hiding in an unknown corner. No one knew what kind of horror and torture she had endured. Her hair was disheveled, her face was slightly pale, and her beautiful eyes were constantly looking around vigilantly, with a look of horror on her pretty face.

Yang Kai just appeared in front of her like this, but she was completely unaware, as if she didn’t see him.

“Like this…” Yang Kai looked at her and muttered in a low voice, “Almost there, right？”

As he said this, he reached out and snapped his fingers.

The sound wasn’t loud, but when it entered Hua Qingsi’s ears, it was as shocking as the tolling of a morning or evening bell. She trembled violently, and when she looked up again, she discovered that the boundless darkness that had been enveloping her was finally replaced by the dazzling light.

And a figure that she had cursed countless times in her heart and wished to be cut into a thousand pieces appeared not far in front of her, looking at her lazily.

Seeing that person’s face, Hua Qingsi’s grievances and scares over the past few days turned into the flames of revenge at this moment. With jiao he in her mouth, she shouted, “I’ll fight you to the death, you bastard!”

At the same time as she spoke, she shot towards Yang Kai like an arrow leaving the bow.

Her twisted, and she transformed into a hundred butterflies overwhelming the sky and covering Yang Kai tightly.

Yang Kai raised his hand, erected his palm into a knife, ignored the hundreds of butterflies, and directly slashed towards the void in front.

With a bang… the palm knife chopped onto something.

“Ouch…” Hua Qingsi’s figure stumbled out of the void, and the hundreds of butterflies disappeared in an instant. She covered her head with both hands, continuously retreating, and the pain made her tears almost flow out.

It seems…” Yang Kai looked at her leisurely and said lightly, “You still haven’t understood your situation… In that case, I’ll give you some more time. When you think it through… we’ll talk again！”

As he spoke, he was about to repeat his old trick.

Hua Qingsi suddenly screamed： “No！ No！ I was wrong, I dare not be presumptuous anymore, you… you spare me！”

Anyone in the boundless darkness, being killed countless times by some strange existences every day, feeling the realistic death effect, I’m afraid they couldn’t hold on any longer.

The first time she was killed, Hua Qingsi thought she was really dead！

But unexpectedly, just a moment later, she came back to life again…

But it was worse than death, because not long after, she was killed by some strange existences again.

After many times, she finally understood that she had fallen into an extremely brilliant illusion and couldn’t extricate herself from the cycle of life and death.

Dying hundreds of times a day, Hua Qingsi was almost numb.

If her strength wasn’t strong enough, just such torture would be enough to drive her crazy.

At this moment, when she suddenly saw Yang Kai, the culprit, naturally, anger rose from her heart and evil thoughts were born on the edge of her courage.

As a result, she was still subdued by the other party with one move！

Hua Qingsi was completely desperate.

“Very good, it’s very gratifying that you can be so sensible！” Yang Kai glanced at her, nodded, and stood there with a composed look.
