Chapter 2270

Moments later, Yang Kai had finished putting on his clothes.

“How long do you want to occupy this palace’s bed?” Gao Xueting looked at him coldly.

Yang Kai then climbed out of the bed dejectedly and helplessly, standing up straight in front of Gao Xueting.

I ask you, where did that magic weapon spirit go？” Gao Xueting suddenly said. “It is said that the spirit chased after you, but today when I and Lord Xiao and others searched all the way and tracked to Yuqing Mountain, we lost the trace. It seemed to disappear all of a sudden. Even Lord Xiao couldn’t see the slightest clue. Do you know where it went？

Yang Kai quickly shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.

Then how did you escape safely？” Gao Xueting’s brows furrowed tightly.”

Yang Kai gave a hehe smile and said, “Elder Gao also knows that I have cultivated spatial power. I am best at running away. At that time, I ran to Yuqing Mountain, used the breath-holding secret technique, and quietly hid in the void. The spirit chased after, searched for a while but found nothing, and then left on its own. As for where it went, I don’t know either.”

Gao Xueting stared at him deeply, the bright light shining in her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to see into Yang Kai’s heart, making Yang Kai feel a burst of guilt, fearing that she would see some flaws.

After a long while, Gao Xueting nodded and said, “If this palace finds out that you have anything to hide and not report, you will definitely not be lightly forgiven.”

Yang Kai wiped the cold sweat on his head and cried out wronged, “How dare I.”

“I dare say you don’t have the guts.” As Gao Xueting spoke, she sat on the edge of the bed and sighed softly, saying, “But in all honesty, it was us who were negligent. If we could have searched carefully after the battle with that demon man that day, perhaps there wouldn’t have been this troublesome matter this time.”

With a sigh, she had a self-reproaching expression on her face.

This made Yang Kai extremely felt guilty. If Gao Xueting knew that the demon man who fought with her that day was now standing in front of her, he didn’t know what would happen.

Yang Kai quickly changed the topic and said, “Everything is predestined. Elder Gao doesn’t need to think too much.”

Gao Xueting gave him a glance, snorted coldly, and then flicked her hand. A ray of light shot towards Yang Kai.

Yang Kai was slightly startled, but he didn’t dodge either because he found that Gao Xueting had no intention of attacking. He reached out and grabbed the ray of light in his hand.

When he opened his palm and took a look, he found that this was actually a token-like thing.

It was about the size of a palm, and it was unknown what kind of material it was forged from. On the back, there was an engraved image of a warrior’s back. The back was tall and magnificent, as if standing in the air, looking down on the world. Although it was just a pattern, one could still feel the imposing manner of dominating the world.

Yang Kai looked at it with twitching corners of his mouth because he found that the back of this character pattern was extremely similar to Wen Zishan.

And on the front side, there are two big characters engraved.

Qingyang！

The whole token, shining with golden light, extremely dazzling.

“This is…” Yang Kai’s complexion changed slightly, and he looked at Gao Xueting suspiciously.

“The identity plaque of the disciples of the Divine Palace.” Gao Xueting replied lightly.

“Uh…” Yang Kai was surprised, and then smiled bitterly: “But Elder Gao, this junior is not a disciple of the Divine Palace. Isn’t it inappropriate to take this nameplate?

“From now on, you are！” Gao Xueting replied.

Yang Kai was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly and said, “Elder Gao, this is a case of buying and selling by force… Don’t you need to ask for my opinion？”

Gao Xueting gave him a sidelong glance and said, “Didn’t we ask for your opinion last time? Haven’t you thought it through after such a long time?”

Yang Kai quickly said, “I still need to think about it more. This matter is too complicated, and this junior can’t figure it out thoroughly for a while. Please ask Elder Gao to be more accommodating for a few more days.”

“How long？”

“Thirty to fifty years would be the best…” After Yang Kai finished speaking, he saw Gao Xueting’s complexion suddenly turn frostier, and he quickly said, “Of course, ten or eight years would also be okay…”

“Hehe…” Gao Xueting suddenly sneered.

Yang Kai couldn’t help but shiver, feeling extremely cold all over, and his feet were almost cramped.

Gao Xueting said leisurely, “It seems that my good temper has given you the wrong impression. Do you think I’m easy to talk to and have no dignity？”

“Absolutely not.”

“Then you look down on me and the Temple？”

“Also not！”

Gao Xueting snorted coldly and said, “Today, in front of Lord Xiao and the others, I have said that you are a disciple of our Temple and have cut off Lou Chi’s intention to win you over. If you dare to reject me again, tomorrow I will tell them that you have been expelled from the Temple by me. Do you know what the consequences will be?”

Yang Kai’s cold sweat came down all of a sudden.

He really didn’t know that Lou Chi wanted to win him over. Thinking about it this way, he had shown too much sharpness recently and was afraid that he had already attracted the attention of many people. If he didn’t have the halo of a disciple of Qingyang Temple covering him, he would definitely be fought over and won over by other powerhouses.

Yang Kai suddenly understood that Gao Xueting gave him this identity nameplate not to force him to make a choice but as a means to protect him.

The reason why she carefully checked his physical condition before was obviously because she was worried that there would be something wrong with his cultivation.

Thinking of this, a warm current surged in his heart.

Yang Kai suddenly felt that with the care of such an elder, joining Qingyang Temple seemed to be a good choice.

He let out a soft breath with a relieved expression on his face, and clasped smiled and said, “Then the disciple will be more respectful than obedient. Thank you, Elder, for your love.”

Gao Xueting looked him up and down a few times and nodded. “You are teachable.” Pausing for a moment, she continued, “However, because of your special situation, you don’t need to abide by many of the temple’s rules. How you lived before, you can still live like that in the future, and the temple won’t interfere with you too much. Do you understand？”

“Understood.” Yang Kai was delighted to hear this.

“Of course, how you act in the future is only related to yourself and cannot represent the temple. If you dare to cause any trouble for the temple, humph, you know！” Gao Xueting’s phoenix eyes contained power as she snorted coldly.

“Understood, I understand！” Yang Kai nodded repeatedly, with a cold sweat on his face.

“There’s nothing more for me to say. Since you have taken the nameplate, you are now considered a disciple of the temple. Do you have any difficulties or do not understand in your cultivation? I have some free time now and can answer them for you.” Gao Xueting changed her expression and asked kindly.

Yang Kai’s expression became serious, and he quickly asked some questions he had encountered during his cultivation.

Gao Xueting was also extremely responsible. She explained them to him in detail, and without any reservation, she told him all her experiences in cultivating and comprehending the Heavenly Dao and martial arts.

Gao Xueting originally thought that guiding a martial artist at the 2nd Layer of Dao Source Realm to cultivate would naturally be an easy task.

But as she talked deeply with Yang Kai, she had to put away that relaxed look. Because the questions Yang Kai asked were all extremely crucial and profound matters. Some of them she herself hadn’t fully figured out. Gradually, this kind of consultation actually turned into a discussion between the two to confirm their own martial arts.

It was not until dawn that Yang Kai left the City Lord’s Mansion. After returning to the Qin Family, he immediately found Qin Zhaoyang and looked for a secret room to retreat and cultivate.

Time passed leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.

On this day, Yang Kai left the closed-door cultivation. The just-promoted Dao Source Realm 2 cultivation base had been completely stabilized.

In the secret room, he checked his own state and was extremely satisfied with the progress during this period. Just at this moment, he suddenly seemed to sense something, and his expression became strange. The next moment, he quickly sacrificed the Slave Insect Bracelet, and his soul spirit body escaped and flashed into the Slave Insect Bracelet to investigate.

Before, when he was still in the Qingyang Divine Temple, Yang Kai asked Gao Xueting for a lot of Profound Grass to feed those Soul Devouring Insects. And during this period of time, the Soul Devouring Insects had been self-devouring, multiplying and evolving in that huge urn.

It was not until today that there seemed to be some substantial breakthroughs.

The Soul Eater Insects ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Ranking of the Strange Insect List, a very high ranking. They also played a huge role in the world of the Divine Movement Realm. After experiencing the Divine Movement Realm, Yang Kai had great hopes for the Soul Eater Insects. As soon as he was aware of their movement today Yang Kai couldn’t wait to come and check them out.

Inside the large urn, it was completely silent, as if all the Soul Eater Insects were asleep. However, after Yang Kai refined the Insect Slave Bracelet, he knew everything about the space inside the Insect Slave Bracelet like the back of his hand, and naturally knew that this tranquility was just an illusion.

He remained solemn for a moment, and then, as if making up his mind about something, he reached out and made a hand seal to open the large urn.

Leaning over to take a look inside, Yang Kai immediately saw that the inside of the urn was densely packed with milky white things that resembled cocoons, covering the entire wall of the urn.

Many of the white cocoons had cracks, and continuously evolving Soul Eater Insects were climbing out from inside, and then devouring the white cocoons whole.

As time passed, more and more Soul Eater Insects were born from the cocoons.

For a while, the entire urn was filled with the sound of click as if ten thousand silkworms were devouring mulberry leaves.

“So big！” Yang Kai was shocked.

The original Soul Devouring Insects couldn’t be observed with the naked eye at all. They were extremely tiny insects, and only with the Divine Sense could one detect their traces. But after this round of devouring and evolution, the size of the Soul Devouring Insects had clearly increased.

Each one was as big as a grain of rice, and their bodies were covered with some pitch-black patterns. From those black patterns, there was an obvious Demonic Dao aura, evidently due to the fact that they had devoured the pure ancient Demonic Qi before.

Not only that, these Soul Devouring Insects seemed even more ferocious and brutal than before, making Yang Kai’s scalp tingle when he looked at them.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all these Soul Devouring Insects had broken out of their cocoons and devoured their white cocoons completely. After obtaining sufficient nourishment, these Soul Devouring Insects flapped their wings and flew out of the big urn.

Yang Kai warily stepped back and watched from a distance.

I saw that above the large urn, a cloud of insects suddenly gathered. Although the number was much less than the original Soul-Eating Insects, the momentum and scale were far beyond what the previous batch could compare to.

Yang Kai was secretly shocked. He felt that if he had brought such a batch of Soul Devouring Insects into the Divine Wanderer World at that time, when encountering that Ban Qing at the Emperor Senior Stage, perhaps there would be no need for him to play tricks. Just relying on these Soul Devouring Insects would be enough to make Ban Qing flee in a sorry state.

He watched for a long time, and then with a thought, he issued an instruction to the cloud of Soul Devouring Insects.
