Chapter 1152

In the private room of the Shadow Moon Palace, Qian Tong didn’t move for a long time. There was a hint of annoyance in his brows. If he had known that even after collecting 30 million tolls, he still wouldn’t be able to win that Pill of Condensing Void, Qian Tong would definitely have bought the Dragon-Beating Whip and given it to his apprentice.

Now that he got nothing, he was naturally a little regretful.

After staying for a full stick of incense time, Qian Tong said to the Shadow Moon Palace disciples standing beside him, “You go back first. The Flowing Flame Sandland will open soon. After you go back, you have to cultivate well.”

Those disciples nodded in agreement one after another and left together, leaving only two disciples of the younger generation, Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er. Qian Tong stood up and said, “You two come with me. I’ll take you to meet someone.”

“Yes.” Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er obediently followed behind him.

In private room No. Bing Thirteen, Wu Yi took out some Saint Crystals and gave them to the two female disciples of the Shadow Moon Palace who had been serving beside them. Amid their overjoyed thanks, she sent them away.

The three of them waited left and right, but didn’t see Qian Tong arrive.

Just when they were extremely bored, they suddenly heard a knock on the door outside. Yang Kai gave Wu Yi a wink, and Wu Yi immediately ran over to open the door. Qian Tong walked in with a man and a woman, smiling.

“Nephew Yang, I’ve kept you waiting for a long time.” Qian Tong cupped his hands and greeted politely.

“Senior is too polite. I don’t have anything to do anyway.” Yang Kai stood up to welcome him.

Hearing the change in Yang Kai’s address to himself, Qian Tong’s eyes lit up, and he laughed even more heartily. Before, Yang Kai had always addressed him as Elder Qian. Now, it had changed to Senior, obviously carrying a hint of respect. How could Qian Tong not know that it was precisely because of his help this time that Yang Kai was somewhat grateful to him？

Not revealing it, he sat down following Yang Kai’s invitation.

Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er, who had been following Qian Tong, had strange expressions on their faces. Originally, Qian Tong said he would take them to meet someone, and they thought it was to meet the elder of some family. But when they arrived, they found out that the person they were going to meet was actually a young man younger than the two of them, and his strength was not too high either, only at the First-Order Saint King Realm.

What was so special about such a person that the elder treated him so seriously？ The two had followed Qian Tong for a long time. From Qian Tong’s words and expressions, they even saw a hint of caution.

He definitely wasn’t from the three top forces. What was this guy’s background？

“Who are these two?” Yang Kai looked at Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er suspiciously. Although he had already guessed the identities of this man and woman, it was better to pretend not to know at this time.

What was Qian Tong bringing them here for？ But Yang Kai only thought for a moment and immediately understood Qian Tong’s intention.

Qian Tong also seemed to have just remembered and laughed hehe： “I forgot to introduce them to you, nephew.”

Pointing to the heroic-looking man, he said： “This is the most talented disciple of my Shadowmoon Palace in hundreds of years, Wei Guchang.” Then pointing to the woman, he said： “This is my unworthy disciple Dong Xuan’er. You two, quickly meet Young Master Yang Kai.”

When Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er heard Qian Tong’s introduction, they were both secretly shocked. Usually, only juniors salute their elders, and among peers, the order of salutation is also determined by the level of cultivation and status. This guy named Yang Kai is unknown, and his cultivation level is much lower than theirs. Why would the elder ask the two of them to salute first？

Thinking like this in their hearts, both of them were stunned for a moment and did not act according to Qian Tong’s intention for the first time.

Seeing this, how could Qian Tong not know what they were wondering？ Although these two disciples have good hearts and personalities and do not have the bad habits of disciples from other great forces, they also have their own pride. It can be said that even if Fang Tianzhong and Qu Changfeng were standing here, they would not be qualified to make them lower their status. These people are all on equal terms with each other.

Qian Tong was secretly anxious, fearing that the attitudes of the two would make Yang Kai dissatisfied. If Yang Kai was not happy, then all his previous efforts would be in vain. He was also very annoyed in his heart. If he had known, he would have made it clear to them when they came, and it would not have been so embarrassing.

Yang Kai, however, didn’t take it to heart and chuckled. He clasped his fists and said, “So it’s Brother Wei. I’ve long heard your great name and it’s like thunder in my ears！”

He had only heard of Wei Guchang’s name today, and what he said was very insincere. But Qian Tong’s face couldn’t be ignored.

Wei Guchang nodded slightly and also clasped his fists in salute, but didn’t speak.

Yang Kai then turned to Dong Xuan’er and said, “Nice to meet you, Miss Dong.”

Dong Xuan’er returned a courtesy with a smile, looking graceful and composed. Like Wei Guchang, she didn’t say a word.

Qian Tong laughed heartily and said, “Qian is getting old. You are all about the same age. You should get close to each other in the future.”

Yang Kai didn’t express his opinion. Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er also didn’t show any attitude. They didn’t think they had the need to get close to Yang Kai. Although the elder seemed to value this person very much, only the strong could win their respect. If it was just because of the status and position, even if the background was higher, it wasn’t worth their fawning.

Qian Tong also seemed to feel that he had done this matter not very neatly. Originally, he brought Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er to find Yang Kai because he thought they were about the same age and it was easy to make friends. As long as they made friends with Yang Kai, why would they be afraid that there would be no benefits for them in the future? But he found that he had underestimated the pride of the two disciples.

Immediately, he was a little disappointed and let them go out and wait.

Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er bowed and retired, as if they came here just to see Yang Kai once.

After they left, Qian Tong smiled bitterly and said, “Let the virtuous nephew laugh. The old man has no way to discipline.”

Yang Kai shook his head and said, “Today, I have also seen many young talents on You’an Star. To be honest, the two of them impressed me more than the others.”

Qu Changfeng needless to say, Yang Kai rather disliked this kind of person. Fang Tianzhong didn’t care about others at all when confronting Qu Changfeng in front of Jubaolou before. If it wasn’t for Yang Kai’s good strength, he might have made a fool of himself on the spot, so Yang Kai didn’t have much good impression of him either. That woman Yin Sudie didn’t look like a good woman either. She was not very old, but she was quite slick in handling things and speaking.

At least Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er didn’t have the shortcomings of these people, and their personalities seemed to be relatively straightforward. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made Qian Tong embarrassed.

Of course, Yang Kai was just comforting Qian Tong. He certainly wouldn’t take the initiative to make friends with those two people. Those two people had their own pride, and Yang Kai also had his.

No one is perfect.

Sure enough, Yang Kai’s words completely put Qian Tong at ease, and he chatted with Yang Kai with a smile on his face.

After chatting for a while, Yang Kai then said, “Senior, before the auction started, you said you had something to see me about. I wonder what it is？”

When Qian Tong heard this, his expression became solemn, and he said, “Nephew, have you ever heard of the Flowing Flame Sand Land？”

Yang Kai looked at him in surprise, thinking that could the matter he was looking for himself to talk about be the same as the one he wanted to find him to talk about？ He nodded slightly and said, “I’ve heard of it and also know the strange features of that place.”

“It’s good that you’ve heard of it.” Qian Tong took a sip of tea and then continued to ask, “I wonder if nephew would like to go to that Flowing Flame Sand Land？”

“What does senior mean？” Although Yang Kai wanted to go, he didn’t want to reveal his thoughts immediately. He didn’t know why Qian Tong specifically came to talk to him about this.

“Nephew, don’t get me wrong.” Qian Tong smiled. “Originally, for a place like the Flowing Flame Sand Land, I wouldn’t recommend you to go there. After all, it’s too dangerous. Every time people enter it, the losses are heavy. If 60% of them can come out alive, it’s already very good. However, I heard that nephew once killed a martial artist at the Third-Order Saint King Realm. Is this true？”

“That’s right.”

Although Qian Tong had heard about this from Luo Qing, hearing Yang Kai admit it himself now still surprised him greatly. He immediately knew that Yang Kai’s own combat power was also very good. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to achieve the feat of killing enemies across levels.

“In that case, nephew has the qualification to go！ It’s just that I don’t know if you yourself want to go. If you do, I can arrange for you to enter.”

Yang Kai furrowed his brows： “Are there any restrictions on entering that place？”

He originally thought that once the Flowing Flame Sand Land was opened, as long as he found the place, he could enter. So he still wanted to inquire about the location and opening time with Qian Tong.

“Naturally, there are restrictions.” Qian Tong looked at him in surprise： “You shouldn’t think that anyone can go to that place, right？”

“I only know that it can only be entered at special times.”

Qian Tong laughed and said： “It seems that nephew doesn’t know much about the Flowing Flame Sand Land.”

“Please enlighten me, senior.” Yang Kai immediately asked for advice.

“The Flowing Flame Sandland can indeed only be entered at a special time, but not everyone can go there. First of all, Void Return Stage martial artists cannot enter. If a Void Return Stage martial artist enters, they will surely die！” Qian Tong said with a serious expression.

“Why?” Yang Kai was astonished.

“Because of potential！ Potential is a unique power of Void Return Stage martial artists. However, in the Flowing Flame Sandland, the existence of potential seems to be not allowed. Once a Void Return Stage martial artist enters, whether they use potential or not, they will immediately be burned to death！”

Yang Kai’s face turned pale, and he couldn’t help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he didn’t figure out potential when he was in seclusion some time ago. Otherwise, he would have missed this opportunity. It seems that everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

Wu Yi and Yang Yan on the side were stunned. Obviously, they didn’t know the information in this regard either.

“This was also discovered at the cost of many lives by the predecessors on the Dark Star.” Qian Tong sighed slightly. “Moreover, in the Flowing Flame Sandland, it’s useless to go with a low strength. When it opens, the power of the hot flame will indeed be weakened a lot, but it’s not something that a Saint Realm martial artist can resist. Therefore, all those who go to the Flowing Flame Sandland are Saint King Realm. Nephew, you only have the First-Order Saint King Realm. If I didn’t know that you can fight across levels, I wouldn’t dare to mention this matter to you. Of course, whether to go or not still depends on your own decision.”

“I want to go. Such a rare opportunity. Wouldn’t it be a great loss if I didn’t go to see it？” Yang Kai grinned. That place was an excellent place to refine the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water.

Qian Tong looked at him approvingly. “I knew that Nephew wasn’t the kind of person who would be content with mediocrity. Since you’ve decided to go, then take up one of the spots in my Shadowmoon Palace. Anyway, our Shadowmoon Palace doesn’t lack this one spot.”
