Chapter 2669

The next day, Yang Kai was still in meditation when there was a sudden knock on the door.”

His Divine Sense swept out and found that it was actually Ye Jinghan and Du Xian.”

Yang Kai opened the door and looked at the two of them and said, “What’s the matter？”

Ye Jinghan trembled and said, “Young Master Yang, the Liuying Sword Sect has sent my father over. He is right outside the inn now.”

“Sect Master Ye？” The appearance of Ye Hen emerged in Yang Kai’s mind. He nodded slightly and said, “That Li Qingyun is sensible. Since he has sent him over, then just accept him.”

Du Xian said shamefully, “It was Li Qingyun who personally sent him over.”

Li Qingyun was at least a First-Order Emperor Senior. Both he and Ye Jinghan were only at the Dao Source Realm. They really didn’t have the qualification to talk on an equal footing. Moreover, they didn’t know what the Liuying Sword Sect meant by this trip, so they could only ask Yang Kai to come forward.

Yang Kai nodded upon hearing this and said, “Then I’ll go with you.”

“Thank you, Brother Yang！” Du Xian said gratefully.

“You’re welcome.” Yang Kai had a slight smile on his face, but in his heart, he sighed. If his previous guess was correct, then the genocide disaster that the Qianye Sect had encountered this time was probably still because of himself.

The three of them stepped outside. Ying Fei somehow rushed out and followed closely behind Yang Kai.

When they arrived outside the inn, they indeed saw Li Qingyun standing outside, wearing a white robe and carrying a long sword, looking like a swordsman.

And in front of him was Ye Hen. Although his expression was a bit listless, there was no trace of torture on him. Presumably, it was just because the sect had been destroyed and countless disciples had died, and his heart had been hit.

“Father！”

“Master！” Ye Jinghan and Du Xian shouted in unison, and then glared at Li Qingyun angrily.

Ye Hen looked up at the two of them and showed a bitter smile.

The Thousand Leaves Sect had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, but now it was wiped out in his generation. He really felt ashamed in front of his ancestors. After seeing his daughter and eldest disciple again after a year, Ye Hen’s mood was rather complicated.

Li Qingyun didn’t say anything. He just slightly cupped his fists and saluted Yang Kai, then turned around and left without looking back.

It seemed that his trip was just to send Ye Hen here.

Just as he said. The mastermind behind the scenes had already obtained what he wanted, and it didn’t matter whether Ye Hen was alive or dead. It was precisely because of this that Ye Hen was able to save his life after being captured by the Streaming Shadow Sword Sect. Otherwise, he would have been killed long ago.

“Father！” Ye Jinghan rushed forward and carefully checked Ye Hen’s body. After confirming that he wasn’t missing any limbs, she let out a sigh of relief.

“Sect Master Ye！” Yang Kai stepped forward and cupped his fists in salute.

“Young Master Yang！” Ye Hen and Yang Kai could be considered old acquaintances. At this moment, seeing him with his own daughter and eldest disciple, how could he not know that this time he was able to get out of trouble easily thanks to Yang Kai? His heart couldn’t help but be filled with gratitude and tears.

“Let’s go in and talk.” Yang Kai stretched out his hand and gestured.

Ye Hen nodded, and with the support of Ye Jinghan and Du Xian, he walked step by step into the inn.

After entering the private room, Yang Kai asked the waiter to bring up the wine feast and several people sat cross-legged and drank to their hearts’ content.

Ye Jinghan asked a lot of questions out of concern. After learning that Ye Hen hadn’t suffered much torture in the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect, but was only placed under house arrest, her hatred for the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect dissipated a lot in her heart.

However, after this blow, Ye Hen seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden, looking rather decrepit. One cup of wine after another went down his throat, and his expression was desolate.

He had long been at the third level of the Dao Source Realm. After Yang Kai brought back many lost secret techniques and classics of the Thousand Leaves Sect from the Emperor Heaven Valley back then, Ye Hen also had the confidence to break through to the Emperor Venerable Realm in his lifetime. But before this great ambition could be realized, his sect was wiped out by a powerful enemy.

Truly, the ways of heaven are unpredictable, and the movements of heaven have their own laws.

Now that his will has been hit, it is unknown whether he will still have the opportunity to reach the Emperor Venerable Realm in this lifetime.

Yang Kai raised his glass and said, “Sect Master Ye, the matter of the Thousand Leaves Sect this time may be related to me.”

Ye Hen looked at him in surprise, as if misunderstanding something, and said with a bitter smile, “It’s because of that Lord Hua. It has nothing to do with Young Master Yang.”

Yang Kai shook his head and said, “Sister Hua’s matter is just an inducement. People like Chi Yue and Ai Ou are the targets of those guys.”

Ye Hen was surprised and said, “What do you mean by that？”

Ye Jinghan and Du Xian also looked at Yang Kai suspiciously.

Yang Kai pondered for a moment and said, “I don’t know how to explain it either. It’s just a feeling. This may be a conspiracy against me. The Thousand Leaves Sect just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Everything is to lead me to this Streaming City.”

Ye Hen was stunned. If that was really the case, then the Thousand Leaves Sect was really too unlucky.

“Sorry！” Yang Kai looked at Ye Hen and said in a deep voice.

Ye Hen smiled bitterly and said, “Young Master Yang doesn’t have to be like this. It’s the Thousand Leaves Sect that should have this calamity. Young Master has a great kindness to my Thousand Leaves Sect, and Ye Hen has never dared to forget it. Even if this matter is caused by Young Master, I, Ye Hen, have no complaints at all. I just hate that my Thousand Leaves Sect is too weak to resist the powerful enemy.”

Yang Kai said, “Master Ye, don’t worry. No matter who the person behind this is, I will definitely avenge the Thousand Leaves Sect for you.”

Ye Hen smiled and said, “With Young Master Yang’s words, Ye is relieved. However… the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. Does Young Master have the confidence？”

Ye Jinghan glanced at Ying Fei and whispered something in Ye Hen’s ear.

Ye Hen’s body shook when he heard the words, and he looked up at Ying Fei in horror and said, So it’s the Demon King. Ye Hen is impolite.

His heart also settled down greatly. Yang Kai’s strength was originally not bad, and now there was also a Demon King following him. There was really no need to worry about anything.

Ying Fei smiled and waved his hand.

Yang Kai said： “That auction will be the time when the plot is revealed. At that time, no matter what the purpose of the behind-the-scenes mastermind is, he is bound to show his fangs. At that time, I will definitely cut him down.”

Ye Hen stood up and said solemnly： “Please accept a bow from me, Young Master Yang.”

The Thousand Leaves Sect no longer had the ability to seek revenge and avenge. If Yang Kai could avenge the Thousand Leaves Sect, then he would be a real benefactor.

Yang Kai stretched out his hand and lifted Ye Hen up, shaking his head and saying： “Sect Master Ye is too serious. I can no longer stay out of this matter. Let’s see who is stronger and who is weaker at that time.”

After drinking for a while longer, Yang Kai then took his leave and returned to his own room.

For the next more than half a month, it was always peaceful without incident.

That Zhu Qing really seemed to have evaporated from the human world as well and no longer came to harass him, which greatly satisfied Yang Kai.

Although this woman was extremely beautiful and pleasing to the eye, and flirting with her also had a special flavor, after all, she was a Dragon Girl, and Yang Kai really didn’t want to provoke her too much.

During this period of time, quite a few Emperor Senior Stage experts had come to Streaming Shadow City. They should all be here for the Heavenly Puppets of the Thousand Leaves Sect. After all, each Heavenly Puppet was equivalent to an Emperor Senior Stage expert. Buying them back to guard the mountain gate was an excellent choice. Perhaps the Star Source within Aio was also attractive enough.

Yang Kai also investigated in Streaming City many times, but did not detect the auras of Red Moon, Aeo, and the others. Helplessly, he could only give up.

However, it was thought that the enemy wasn’t this stupid. Before the auction started, these chips naturally wouldn’t be easily revealed.

On this day, Streaming City, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became noisy. In front of the Seven Luminaries Chamber of Commerce, there was an endless stream of traffic and people, and the flow of people gasped continuously.

As one of the two top chambers of commerce in the Southern Territory, the Seven Luminaries Chamber of Commerce naturally also had a branch in Streaming City. This time’s auction was held in the branch of the Seven Luminaries Chamber of Commerce.

All the Emperor Senior Stage experts who received the invitations arrived as scheduled.

In front of the chamber of commerce, two rows of young girls waited respectfully ly. Whenever a noble guest arrived one of them would step forward with a smiling face to welcome them and lead them into the chamber of commerce. These girls were all as beautiful as flowers, with graceful postures. They wore thin gauze, and all kinds of wonderful things were faintly visible, which was extremely eye-catching.

Undoubtedly, they had also undergone professional training. Every smile made people feel at home, and their soft voices and gentle words even increased people’s favorability.

Li Qingyun, the Sect Master of the Liuying Sword Sect, was also standing outside the chamber of commerce. He was hugging the Yuxu Sword and standing there with his eyes tightly closed, like a statue. His sword intent was restrained, and from the outside, he looked like an ordinary person. But those who knew him knew that he was not to be trifled with. At this moment, he was like a long sword sheathed. Once unsheathed, he would be a powerful sword cultivator with murderous intent boiling up to the sky.

Suddenly, Li Qingyun’s eyes opened and he looked forward. A thick sense of dread and helplessness flashed in his eyes like sharp swords.

In front of him, a group of five people came strolling, barging in as if there was no one around. The surrounding guests all glared at them, but when they saw the faces of these people, they all changed their colors and stepped aside, avoiding them like tigers.

The leader of this group of five people was a young man, and there was also a man with a gloomy complexion and a hooked nose, as well as a young man and woman and a half-old old man.

It was Yang Kai and the others.

Walking straight to the front of the chamber of commerce, Yang Kai looked at Li Qingyun and grinned, saying, “Sect Master Li is also here to welcome the guests？ What a big deal！”

The helpless expression on Li Qingyun’s face became even stronger, and the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing an expression that was hard to describe.

“Hahaha, this should be Young Master Yang Kai, right？ Young Master Yang’s arrival really makes this humble person extremely honored. Please come in quickly！”

A hearty laughter came from the side, full of enthusiasm.

Yang Kai turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance walking out from the side, smiling and greeting him. That smile entered his eyes, causing Yang Kai’s brows to furrow.

“Who are you？” Yang Kai asked with a sidelong glance.

“It’s you！” Ye Jinghan and Du Xian both let out a low cry, looking at the middle-aged man with full of dread on their faces.

Ye Hen’s body even trembled, and his eyes were filled with fire.

“You know him？” Yang Kai asked in surprise.

Ye Jinghan gritted her teeth and said, “The Sky Puppet of my Thousand Leaves Sect was subdued by him！ It was also him who went to find Lord Hua！”

“I am Wu Ming！” The middle-aged man smiled slightly, his gaze staring at Yang Kai, completely ignoring the three people of the Thousand Leaves Sect. Three mere ants really weren’t worthy of his attention.

Yang Kai’s gaze turned slightly cold, and he said lightly, “So it was you who did this good deed.”

Wu Ming smiled and said, “Young Master Yang is joking. What virtue and ability do I have… What are you doing？”

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Ming was greatly shocked because Yang Kai actually slapped him with a palm. Emperor Yuan surged, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged. Although there was a small gap between them in cultivation, Wu Ming was shocked to find that in the face of this blow, he actually had no way to avoid it.

He simply didn’t expect that Yang Kai would be so audacious as to attack him right away, leaving him completely unprepared. By the time he reacted, it was already a bit too late.
