Chapter 2908

In the Thousand Illusion Dream Realm, Yang Kai has seen too many similar things. In the battlefield where the two races are fighting, even if a cultivated Demon Race is killed, as long as there is still a strand of demonic thought left, it can transform the Barbarian Race into Demon People and turn them against their former allies. Thesmell and remnant soul of the Demon Race both possess extremely strong corrosiveness.

“What should we do now？” Fang Zhuo also asked.

Before Yang Kai could speak, Gong Yue, who was roaring, suddenly quieted down. He suddenly raised his head revealing a pair of pitch-black eyes with no whites at all, looking terrifying.

“Gong… Old Clan Chief Gong！” Shen Bingru called out in a trembling voice, hoping to confirm the identity of the person in front of her.

But Gong Yue ignored her and just tilted his head to look at Yang Kai, revealing a dazed and curious expression, as if he had just woken up from a big dream and was still a little confused about the situation of his surroundings.

Yang Kai held his breath and secretly concentrated his energy to be on guard.

But Gong Yue didn’t attack him. Instead, he just made a strange sound from his throat and then staggered towards the outside.

Shen Bingru, Fang Zhuo, Hua Yulu, and the others hurriedly moved aside. The few of them had no strength to fight now and didn’t dare to block in front at all.

Gong Yue was clearly eroded by the demonic thoughts. Because his current performance was very different from before. It was as if a new soul had inhabited his body, and he couldn’t completely control his body. Even his walking posture was not quite normal.

In the midst of the deathly silence, only Gong Yue’s footsteps were extremely harsh.

It was not until the footsteps could no longer be heard that Hua Yulu and the others exhaled a sigh of relief as if they had survived a disaster. After witnessing Gong Yue’s transformation with their own eyes, they no longer had any doubts about Yang Kai’s previous statement about the demonic thoughts.

“Was Old Patriarch Gong possessed？” Fang Zhuo looked at Yang Kai and asked.

If this was the case, then the matter would be troublesome. After all, Gong Yue was the former Patriarch of the Gong Family, and he also had the cultivation base of the Second-Order Emperor Senior Realm. Such a person running out might bring great harm to the Southern Territory.

“I don’t know, but it may be more serious than possession！” Yang Kai’s expression was solemn. The only thing he could be sure of now was that Gong Yue had fallen into the devil. But there was one thing he couldn’t figure out. Even if Gong Yue’s mind was restless, he wouldn’t be easily eroded by that demonic thought. Why couldn’t he resist？

But there was no reasonable explanation for what he had seen with his own eyes before.

While thinking, Yang Kai was suddenly shocked and shouted in a low voice： “The magic text！”

“What？” Hua Yulu turned her head and looked at him.

“That magic text!” Yang Kai’s expression was solemn, and he turned to look at several people: “How much did you see?”

Hua Yulu said, “The secret technique that Yang Tai used before？ I didn’t see it clearly.”

Yang Kai looked at the three people and said in a deep voice, “No matter how much you saw, it’s best to find a way to forget that thing. Yang Tai’s becoming a devil and Gong Yue’s being eroded may both be related to it.”

“What do you mean by that？” Fang Zhuo asked curiously. When Yang Tai used that secret technique before, he deliberately observed it. So he saw more things than Hua Yulu. Yang Kai said it was so serious, and he didn’t dare to take it lightly.”

Shen Bingru also cast a curious look.

Yang Kai said, “Yang Tai had no chance to come into contact with that demonic thought before, but when he came here, he had already become a devil. His becoming a devil is very likely related to the ancient demonic script he learned. In order to persuade Gong Yue, Yang Tai once showed him the power of that one character. Gong Yue may have studied it slightly. So… there should also be some demonic nature in his body, which is why he is willing to take the risk of betraying the world and join hands with Yang Tai to frame us. That’s right. It must be like this. Otherwise, as the former head of the Gong family, how could Gong Yue make such a foolish choice? He has been affected by the demonic nature hidden in his body and can’t maintain his original nature. And the reason why that demonic thought can easily erode him is not that Gong Yue’s protection is ineffective, but that the demonic nature in his body is attracting that demonic thought and subconsciously giving up resistance!

Yang Kai’s words were half speculation and half explanation. The more he spoke, the more he felt that his speculation was correct.

The root of everything lay in that ancient magic text.

Half a year ago, Hua Yulu, Yang Tai, and Wu Kuangyi discovered this ancient cave. The three of them obtained different benefits. The ancient magic text that Yang Tai learned was simply a trap, a bait to induce him to open the restriction and release the demonic thought behind the door.

Anyone who learned that ancient magic text would make the same choice as Yang Tai.

It was precisely relying on the true meaning of that magic text that Yang Tai was able to establish a mysterious connection with the demonic thought behind the door. Only then could he know what exactly was behind the door, and only then would he say that opening the restriction was his mission！

Hua Yulu listened with a pale face and a trembling delicate body.

She felt that she was lucky enough. Last time, she only got a small flower drum. If she had learned the true meaning of that ancient magic text like Yang Tai, I’m afraid that Yang Tai’s would be her current fate.

She was a woman who loved beauty. Dying so miserably, not only did her bones not exist, but even her fragmented corpses and minced meat had become a secret art to break the restriction. It was simply unacceptable to her.

Shen Bingru also said uneasily, “Will I also be like Yang Tai and may fall into the magic way?”

She also saw that ancient magic text.

Yang Kai shook his head and said, “The true meaning of that magic script is not so easy to understand. Maybe Yang Tai got some help. Just seeing it once doesn’t matter, but I still advise you to completely forget that thing. No one knows what magical features that magic script has exactly.”

Several people all nodded. After looking at each other, they then escaped their spiritual bodies into the Sea of Consciousness, found the memory about that magic script, and voluntarily destroyed it.

In this way, they will forget the appearance of that character and only remember that there is such a character. And voluntarily destroying such a memory will cause some damage to the spiritual soul, but compared with the risk of falling into devilry, such damage is acceptable.

Yang Kai didn’t’t do this. He had been meditating when several people were destroying their memories.

After several people opened their eyes weakly, Yang Kai said, “There should be more than just one strand of devilish thought behind this door. Maybe there are many. We need to do two things now！”

Hearing that there were more devilish thoughts behind the door, several people were all shocked. But after thinking about it carefully, it was really possible.

Because the restriction of the blood-colored door was not completely broken. Before, it was only opened a crack by Yang Tai’s blood sacrifice, and a strand of devilish thought ran out from it. This restriction was set up by an ancient great power. Since it closed again, it shows that there are still hidden dangers inside.

“Which two things?” Fang Zhuo asked. After the previous incident, Yang Kai had gradually become the person in charge among several people and several people had no objection to his decision.

“The first thing is to find someone to stabilize the restriction array here, lest anyone accidentally break in and damage the restriction.” Yang Kai raised a finger. “This matter concerns the entire Southern Territory, even the entire Star Boundary, so we must notify several major sects in the Southern Territory and let them join hands to find a way. Well, the Gong family needs to make up for their mistakes, and they are also a good choice.”

Gong Yue made a mistake, and the destruction of the restriction was caused by him. The Gong family in Tianhe Valley is duty-bound to repair the restriction. Moreover, even without Gong Yue’s previous mischief, the Gong family is also the best candidate. Among the Southern Territory, except for the array masters enshrined by those major sects, only they have the most research on arrays.

Fang Zhuo and the others nodded slightly when they heard this, feeling that what Yang Kai said was right. Although the exploration of this ancient cave was a matter for the few of them, the consequences that arose were not something they could bear.

Even Gong Yue, who is at the second level of Emperor Senior Realm, couldn’t resist the erosion of the demonic thought. Once the restriction here is really broken, the Southern Territory will surely be in chaos. At that time, they might become eternal sinners.

“So I need you to notify the Gong family in Tianhe Valley. First, tell them what happened here. Second, also let them guard against Gong Yue. In case Gong Yue returns to Tianhe Valley… Gong Yue probably isn’t that stupid, but we always have to take precautions.”

“I’ll go.” Hua Yulu volunteered.

Although her cultivation level is not high, she is at least the master of Hundred Flowers Palace, and what she says has a certain weight. If she goes to inform the Gong family, the Gong family will not take it lightly.

“The three of you go together！” Yang Kai said solemnly.

The three of them thought about it and nodded.

They don’t know where Gong Yue is now. Maybe he is lying in ambush outside waiting for them to fall into the trap. If the three of them join hands, they will have some self-protection ability.

Then who will go to inform the other major sects? Fang Zhuo asked in a deep voice. Without the support of those major sects, nothing can be accomplished. Even if they invite the people of the Gong family, maybe the Gong family will block the message and not let the news leak out. So we must invite the powerhouses of those major sects.

Yang Kai said： “Let me introduce myself again！”

As he spoke, he wiped his face with his hand and revealed his original face. His complexion was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.

“My name is Yang Kai！”

“Yang Kai！” Bingru Shen frowned and said in surprise： “I heard that a while ago, Qingyang Temple newly canonized a guest elder…”

“That’s me.” Yang Kai nodded.

Bingru Shen and Fang Zhuo looked respectful and said in unison: “So it’s Elder Yang. It’s really rude.”

It was only at this time that they dared not look down on Yang Kai. To be able to become the elder of a top sect in the Southern Region, even if it was only a guest elder, he was by no means an ordinary person. What’s more, it was said that at that conferment ceremony, this Yang Kai seemed to have fought a move with the elder of the Star God Palace.

The elder of the Star God Palace was a Third-Order Emperor Venerable. How could someone who could fight against him be an easy person?

Only at this time did the two people understand why Yang Kai’s aura was not strong, but his performance was amazing everywhere. It turned out that he was the elder of the Qingyang Temple.

“I will notify the major sects. I have my own way to contact the temple. After the news spreads, they will naturally convey it to the other sects.”

Naturally, the three of them had no objection when they heard this.

“What about the second thing？” Hua Yulu asked.

“The second thing… Let’s talk about it after the matter here is dealt with. Before that, I want to stay here and guard the restriction here, lest Gong Yue come back and make a surprise attack.”

“Brother Yang has made thoughtful arrangements.” Fang Zhuo agreed.
