Chapter 2335

In the private room, Yang Kai’s Divine will penetrated into the Slave Insect Bracelet to check the condition of the Soul Devouring Insects.

Today’s battle, the performance of the Soul Devouring Insects made him extremely satisfied, and could even be said to exceed his expectations.

These insects are definitely sharp weapons for group battles！ Even a Third-Order Dao Source Stage expert couldn’t withstand their siege. If they are cultivated for some more time and allowed to evolve one more time, perhaps even a Emperor Senior Stage would have to shy away from them.

However, the time required to cultivate the Soul Eater Insects is extremely long, and the consumption is definitely not small. Yang Kai needs to purchase a large number of spiritual herbs and throw them into the Insect Slave Bracelet, allowing this Emperor Treasure to convert the medicinal efficacy of the spiritual herbs into nutrients suitable for the growth of the Soul Eater Insects.

This kind of thing cannot be rushed.

The Soul Eater Insects are ranked extremely high on the Strange Insect Scripture, reaching the eleventh position on the Heavenly List. There are many other strange insects and rare beasts in his Insect Slave Bracelet. Although their rankings are not as high as that of the Soul Eater Insects, they should also be able to exert a considerable effect.

Yang Kai feels that if he has spare time in the future, he should find an opportunity to study those strange insects and rare beasts sealed in the Insect Slave Bracelet. Maybe at a certain time, they can exert a miraculous effect.

In today’s battle, the Soul Eater Insects devoured the spiritual consciousness and source power of many martial artists and seemed to have gained some growth, but it is not too obvious.

However, the fact that the current Soul Eater Insects can even devour source power is really a great surprise to Yang Kai. The previous Soul Eater Insects could only devour the power of spiritual consciousness. It seems that they have indeed grown a lot.

Three days later, Ye Hen came to visit.

Yang Kai naturally received him warmly.

The situation of the Thousand Leaves Sect has now been settled. The dead and injured disciples in the sect have all been properly arranged. Although the Thousand Leaves Sect has suffered heavy losses this time, it may not necessarily be a bad thing. The members of the Wang Xin faction led by Shi Cangying have been completely wiped out. The remaining ones are all disciples and elders who are loyal to the sect. Now the Thousand Leaves Sect is of one mind, and there are Heavenly Puppets that can be controlled. Given time, it will surely restore its former glory.

Ye Hen’s injury has not healed. The battle a few days ago made him exhausted. When Yang Kai saw him, his face was still pale and his breath was unstable. Ye Jinghan had been accompanying him by his side.

Yang Kai also knew what he was looking for him for. So after sitting down, he didn’t say much nonsense and directly handed him the ring that Ye Chong gave him.

Ye Hen took it with a trembling hand and looked at Yang Kai expectantly, longing for the answer he wanted to hear.

Yang Kai smiled and said, “This is the ring that Senior Ye Chong gave me. There should be many skills and secret techniques inheritances of your sect inside.”

When Ye Hen heard this, his body shook and he burst into tears all of a sudden.

The wish of the ancestors for tens of thousands of years has finally come true in his generation. But soon, he realized something was wrong and exclaimed, “Young Master Yang, you just said that it was Old Ancestor Ye Chong who gave you this ring？ Could it be that…”

Yang Kai waved his hand and said, “Senior Ye Chong has long since passed away. I only had an exchange with a wisp of his remaining divine sense. He instructed me to bring this ring to you.”

After listening to Yang Kai’s account of what happened in the secret realm, Ye Hen was shocked and muttered, “Ancestor Ye Chong actually set foot in the path of corpse puppets. This…”

If it weren’t for what Yang Kai said, he simply couldn’t believe it. The art of corpse puppets was clearly a forbidden technique in the Thousand Leaves Sect. How could Ye Chong have studied this? And actually refined himself into a corpse puppet. However, Yang Kai obviously had no reason to deceive him. The fact that he brought out Ye Chong’s ring and handed it to him “already” explains everything.

After being in a daze for a long time, Ye Hen finally got up and bowed, saying, “Young Master Yang has a great kindness to the Thousand Leaves Sect. Ye Hen will never forget it. Please accept Ye Hen’s bow！”

Ye Jinghan also quickly bowed to salute.

Yang Kai supported him and said, “Sect Master Ye is too serious. It’s just a small effort.”

Ye Hen knew that this was by no means a small effort. Yang Kai entered the secret realm and encountered Ye Chong’s corpse puppet. Youdaoplaceholder0, he also experienced a stunning battle. However, since Yang Kai didn’t specifically describe the situation of the battle, Ye Hen didn’t know how dangerous that battle was.

“From now on, Young Master Yang is a friend of the Thousand Leaves Sect. If there is anything to be done, our Thousand Leaves Sect will never decline！” Ye Hen said seriously.

Yang Kai smiled and said, “Patriarch Ye, you should first check if the things in this ring are what you thought.”

“Alright！” Ye Hen couldn’t wait to know if the lost cultivation techniques and secret arts of the sect were in the ring. Immediately, he began to break the prohibition of the ring. There was no intention of avoiding suspicion at all.

Ye Jinghan stood aside, looking on expectantly and nervously.

This ring required bloodline power to open, so the prohibition wasn’t very difficult to break. However, if one forcefully broke it without bloodline power, the ring would be destroyed immediately.

In just ten breaths of time, a stream of light flashed across the simple spatial ring. Yang Kai immediately knew that the prohibition had been broken.

Ye Hen’s spiritual thoughts surged as he probed inside the ring, and his expression changed constantly.

After a long time, Ye Hen finally withdrew his spiritual thoughts and let out a heavy sigh.

“Father…” Seeing his appearance, Ye Jinghan’s heart skipped a beat. She thought that the things in the ring had disappointed him, and her pretty face suddenly changed color.

Ye Hen waved his hand and said, “The lost items are all here.”

“Then why is father still sighing like this？” Ye Jinghan looked at Ye Hen with a puzzled expression. Recovering the lost cultivation techniques and secret arts was a good thing. It meant that the Thousand Leaves Sect had the capital to gradually become stronger, and in the future, they would no longer be bullied and powerless.

Ye Hen smiled bitterly and said, “It’s nothing. Jinghan, you go down first. I have something to say to Young Master Yang.”

Ye Jinghan hesitated for a moment and then nodded, saying, “Yes.”

As she spoke, she nodded to Yang Kai and slowly backed away.

After Ye Jinghan left, Ye Hen looked at Yang Kai with a difficult expression on his face as if he had something difficult to say.

Young Master Yang, if Sect Master Ye has something to say, feel free to speak directly.” Yang Kai smiled slightly.”

Ye Hen said, “Then Ye will be offensive. May I ask what Young Master Yang thinks of my daughter Jinghan?

As soon as Yang Kai heard this, he felt something was wrong, but he still told the truth and said, “Miss Ye has a firm and kind heart. She is not bad.”

Yang Kai has been in contact with Ye Jinghan for a while. Although they are not close friends, Yang Kai has a good impression of her.

How many points can my daughter’s appearance be rated in the eyes of Young Master Yang？” Ye Hen asked again.

Yang Kai thought to himself that this old guy is serious? After pondering for a while, he said, “Those who love her will naturally think she is as beautiful as a fairy. Sect Master Ye may ask me about this kind of thing. It might be better to ask Brother Du Xian.

Hearing Yang Kai’s words, Ye Hen didn’t bother to beat around the bush anymore. He clasped his fists and said, Young Master Yang, Ye earnestly requests you to marry my daughter and take charge of the Thousand Leaves Sect! Ye heard that Young Master Yang has no Sect . I am willing…”

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Kai raised his hand and said lightly, “Sect Master Ye, I can’t do the thing of breaking up a loving couple, and I also have no intention of joining the Thousand Leaves Sect.”

Ye Hen couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, “Young Master Yang must think that I am such a snobbish person that I would sacrifice my daughter’s future happiness for my own personal desires. But… I don’t have much time left. There is no one in the Thousand Leaves Sect who can currently take on the position of Sect Master. If I pass away, where will the sect go？”

Yang Kai frowned and said, “Du Xian is a good successor.”

Ye Hen sighed and said, “Du Xian is indeed a good child, but his cultivation is still not enough！”

Yang Kai smiled slightly and said, “Du Xian is at the second level of the Dao Source Realm. May I ask Sect Master Ye, how high was your cultivation when you took over as the Sect Master back then？”

Ye Hen was stunned. Thinking about when he took over as the Sect Master back then, he was only at the first level of the Dao Source Realm. Du Xian was one small level higher than him at that time.

Yang Kai added, “Moreover, now that the Heavenly Puppet of your sect can be controlled again, and all the powerhouses within a million miles around here have been wiped out, what is Sect Master Ye afraid of？”

Ye Hen’s eyes gradually lit up, and he nodded, saying, “Young Master Yang is right. Since the Heavenly Puppet can be driven again, what should this old man be afraid of？ It’s just a pity that this old man doesn’t have much time left. If given another ten years, this old man will definitely be able to promote to Emperor Venerable. If that time comes, the Thousand Leaves Sect will really have nothing to fear.”

Yang Kai’s expression moved, and he asked, “Does Sect Master Ye think that ten years is enough to promote to Emperor Venerable？”

Ye Hen smiled and said, “The cultivation technique this old man practices originally has flaws. Now that he has obtained the things left behind by Old Ancestor Ye Chong, if he can’t promote to Emperor Venerable in ten years, wouldn’t this old man have lived in vain for this lifetime.”

He had cultivated a flawed cultivation technique and could still promote to the Third Layer of Dao Source Realm. Yang Kai then understood that Ye Hen’s talent was definitely top-notch, but only his background was not good. Now that he had obtained the lost secret skills, it was enough to make up for that tiny flaw.

Ten years, perhaps it could really allow him to promote to Emperor Venerable.

“It’s just a pity… this old man doesn’t have that much time.” Ye Hen let out a heavy sigh, feeling sad for his own ill-fated destiny. It was precisely because he didn’t have much time left that he came up with such a bad idea, wanting Yang Kai to marry Ye Jinghan. But now, after being enlightened by Yang Kai, his mind suddenly became clear, and he didn’t struggle with this anymore.

After saying that, Ye Hen stood up and said, “I’ve bothered Young Master Yang today. I want to go and take a look at that secret realm, so I’ll take my leave first.”

Yang Kai said, “Since that’s the case, then Sect Master Ye, take care.”

After a pause, as if remembering something, he said, “Sect Master Ye, maybe I’ll have something to trouble you with in a few days.”

Ye Hen smiled and said, “If Young Master Yang has something for this old man to help with, it’s an honor for this old man and even Thousand Leaves Sect. Just speak up when the time comes.”

“Then I’ll thank Sect Master Ye first.”

The reason why Ye Hen came this time was, first, to ask if Yang Kai had obtained that lost cultivation technique secret method, and on this point, he was already satisfied. Second, it was to propose marriage for Ye Jinghan, but unfortunately, it was rejected by Yang Kai.

However, after being rejected, not only was he not disappointed, but he also heaved a sigh of relief.

The matter between Ye Jinghan and Du Xian, he had always seen it in his eyes and also knew that these two were in love. If Yang Kai really agreed to marry Ye Jinghan, Ye Hen might no longer have the face to face his own daughter and disciple. These two would definitely hate him for a lifetime.

It was just that for the sake of the sect, he had to make that proposal.

Now that he thought about it, it was himself who was a bit desperate and seeking help blindly.

From beginning to end, he never asked about the matter of Liu Yan, as if he didn’t see Liu Yan driving the Heavenly Puppet, nor did he ask what Liu Yan’s background was and why she came out of the secret realm with Yang Kai.
