Chapter 1161

About half a day later, Qian Tong finally led those more than two hundred people to arrive near the Flowing Flame Sand Land. After hastily giving instructions to the disciples of his sect and those martial artists who followed, he went to look for the two Void Returning Jing experts of the Shadow Moon Palace.

It seemed as if everyone had discussed it in advance. With the arrival of the people from the Shadow Moon Palace, large groups of martial artists kept arriving one after another. They searched for unoccupied positions and either huddled together or gathered in groups of three or five.

Those who huddled together were all disciples of big forces, and those who gathered in groups of three or five were all people from small families and small sects. The entire periphery of the Flowing Flame Sand Land seemed to be clearly demarcated.

In less than a day, the number of martial artists gathered here had reached more than two thousand. There should still be some who hadn’t arrived. Otherwise, this number would be even higher.

Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er were also squeezed among the many disciples of the Shadow Moon Palace, Youdaoplaceholder0 by nearly seventy people like stars surrounding the moon. Wei Guchang was seriously telling something to his fellow disciples, and those Saint King Realm men and women nodded one after another.

Yang Kai didn’t find the disciples of the Thunder Terrace Sect, Battle Heaven Alliance, and Glazed Door in this place. Presumably, they should have entered from another entrance. Because the Flowing Flame Sand Field didn’t have only this one entrance in front of them. According to Wei Guchang, there were four entrances in all directions, and each major force chose the nearest one, so they weren’t all together.

Compared with the excitement of others, Yang Kai was sitting cross-legged alone in a remote position, looking lonely. But no one came to cause trouble for him anymore. Naturally, those who had seen his and Wei Guchang’s power before didn’t dare to come to trouble him again, and those who came later also seemed to realize that Yang Kai wasn’t easy to mess with and didn’t dare to come over.

However, those martial artists from small families were always surrounded by some disciples of large forces. The purpose of these people were self–evident – they wanted to buy the cards from these small family martial artists.

But now that more and more people have come here, the disciples of these great forces dare not act as overbearing as Yin Jianzhong did before. They are all persuading with kind words and have paid a very sincere price. Indeed, some warriors from small families have given up the idea of entering the Flowing Flame Sand Field and instead sold the Passage Tokens to these people.

There are also some people who are unwavering in their determination to enter the Flowing Flame Sand Field to seek benefits and opportunities. Those disciples of great forces who are gathered around them have wasted a lot of saliva but still haven’t been able to succeed, and they are extremely annoyed.

Yang Kai’s gaze suddenly paused when it swept over a certain position. He let out a soft eh and slowly stood up walking towards that side.

In that direction, there were two middle-aged elders. They both had bitter smiles on their faces and stood there. Beside them, just like the people from other small families, there were several people gathered. Those people were taking turns to persuade, luring them with benefits, trying to buy the Passage Tokens from their hands.

“Fifteen thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand Saint Crystals. It can be any higher. You go and ask if this price is fair! One hundred and fifty thousand Saint Crystals is also a considerable number for us. What do the two seniors think? If you think it’s almost there, then let’s make a deal.” A middle-aged man said earnestly. Although his cultivation level was the same as these two middle-aged elders, both being at the Third-Order Saint King Realm, after all, the other party was older, and now he had a request from them, so it didn’t matter to call them seniors.

One of the two half-old elders gently cupped his hands and said with a bitter smile, “Gentlemen, it’s not that the two of us don’t give face, but what the pass token looks like, the old man hasn’t seen it yet. Our pass tokens are all in the hands of Elder Qian of the Shadowmoon Palace and haven’t been issued yet.”

“It doesn’t matter.” The middle-aged man laughed heartily. “If it hasn’t been issued now, it should be issued in a while. You just need to hand them over to me when you get the pass tokens. I can give you the saint crystals first！”

The middle-aged man spoke with full sincerity, and as he spoke, he really started to count the saint crystals.

The two half-old elders looked at each other, both with helpless expressions. One hundred and fifty thousand saint crystals was indeed a huge sum of money for them. But relatively speaking, they were more willing to enter the Flowing Flame Sand Field.

Entering it might lead to death, but it might also lead to great gains and even a breakthrough to the Void Returning Realm！

They were old and had no children. The greatest wish in their lives was to understand the mystery of the Void Returning Realm before they died. To fight for this wish, what did it matter if they died？

They really didn’t want to sell their pass tokens. Moreover, this opportunity to enter the Flowing Flame Sand Field was rare, and it was only by chance that it fell to the two of them. If they didn’t seize such an opportunity well, they wouldn’t be able to rest in peace even if they died.

But the other party was already counting the Saint Crystals. Rejecting now would only anger him. Although the two of them had come with the Shadow Moon Palace, they didn’t have much friendship with the people of the Shadow Moon Palace. On the contrary, Elder Qian didn’t like them at all. It was already Elder Qian’s kindness not to cause them trouble and to give them two spots to enter the Flowing Flame Sand Field. How could they expect him to take care of this matter？

Just when they were feeling extremely anxious, a familiar voice suddenly came to their ears： “What, is there someone forcing a sale again？”

That voice carried a hint of sarcasm. The middle-aged man who was counting the Saint Crystals had a cold expression. He looked towards the source of the voice. After seeing the face of the person coming, he immediately smiled and cupped his fists, saying carefully: “This friend, I’m not as overbearing as those people from the Azure Sparrow Sect. I didn’t force a sale either. Buying the passes from these two predecessors at the cost of 150,000 Saint Crystals, you can ask around. Isn’t this price quite fair?

While he was smiling and explaining quickly, his heart was filled with bitterness. He thought to himself why this guy had come to interfere. Could he have some kind of connection with these two semi-old men?

One day ago, he had witnessed the scene where Yang Kai and Wei Guchang dealt with Yin Jianzhong from beginning to end. Naturally, he knew that this Saint King 1-layer Yang Kai was not someone to be trifled with. If he really angered him, it wouldn’t be a matter of 150,000 Saint Crystals being resolved easily, but 500,000 Saint Crystals！

500,000… He shuddered just thinking about it.

“Yang Kai？” When the two half-old men saw Yang Kai, they immediately called out with a restrained expression, looking a bit embarrassed.

“Elder Chang, Elder Hao！” Yang Kai cupped his fists and greeted them.

He knew these two people, otherwise he wouldn’t have bothered to come over and meddle. One was Chang Qi, and the other was Hao An. They were both the offerings of the Hake family. The former had spent several months with him in the starry sky, and the latter was even praised by Wu Yi. Wu Yi often said that among the Hake family, these two offer treated her the best. Besides them there was also a female named Huang Juan who had a good relationship with her.

As it turned out, this was indeed the case. When Ian, the head of the Hake family, went to the City Lord’s Mansion to invite experts to deal with Yang Kai, these three offer all sent messages to Wu Yi through different means asking her to leave Dragon’s Cave Mountain early to avoid disaster.

Although in the end it was the Hake family that suffered disaster, the friendship of these three people still made Wu Yi grateful. These days, she also murmured them from time to time. Unfortunately, since Huang Juan left the Hake family, no one knew where she had gone. Chang Qi and Hao An had always stayed in the Hake family and occasionally had some contact with Wu Yi.

Their embarrassed expressions were obviously because of their identities.

Yang Kai had a very unpleasant falling out with the Haike Family. They were still bearing the title of the Haike Family’s retainers, and they were afraid that Yang Kai would come looking for trouble with them.

So when they saw Yang Kai in the Spatial Array Hall of Tianyun City, they didn’t dare to come up and greet him. One reason was fear, and the other was embarrassment.

But now seeing that Yang Kai actually took the initiative to salute them, the two of them immediately understood that they had judged the gentleman with the heart of a villain. Yang Kai simply didn’t hold any grudges against them.

Yang Kai of course didn’t have any intention of holding grudges against them. Regarding the matter of the Haike Family, it was just that the head of the family named Ian was blind. He still had a good impression of Chang Qi and Hao An. Since they could be remembered by Wu Yi, these two people were worthy of him coming forward to resolve their dilemma.

“He wants to buy your sign?” Yang Kai asked.

“Yes.” Chang Qi nodded, and his expression became a lot more natural.

“The asking price is 150,000 Saint Crystals？” Yang Kai asked again.

The two nodded again.

That middle-aged man smiled awkwardly and said, “Friend, you see, I didn’t lie, right? The price of 150,000 Saint Crystals is indeed not low.”

“What do you two mean?” Yang Kai ignored that middle-aged man and instead looked at Chang Qi and Hao An and asked. If the two of them intended to sell their pass, Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t interfere and meddle in other people’s business. After all, it was very dangerous to go in there. But if they weren’t willing, then that middle-aged man wouldn’t be able to succeed either.

Yang Kai himself felt that it would be better for them to sell. Although 150,000 Saint Crystals didn’t seem like much to him, it was a considerable fortune for Chang Qi and Hao An. There was no need to take any life-threatening risks, and with the Saint Crystals in hand, why not do it?

To his surprise, Chang Qi and Hao An exchanged a glance and both shook their heads, their expressions firm as they said, “We don’t want to sell. We want to enter the Flowing Flame Sand Field！”

Yang Kai looked at them in surprise and then said to the middle-aged man, “Friend, you heard it. These two seniors of mine don’t want to sell their passes.”

“Heard it, heard it.” The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly and said with a flattering smile, “Then I won’t bother anymore. Farewell！”

As he spoke, he quickly left with his fellow disciples.

After they left, Chang Qi and Hao An let out a sigh of relief and looked at Yang Kai in surprise.

They came late and didn’t see the scene where the people from Blue Sparrow Sect suffered a setback. Naturally, they didn’t know why this middle-aged man was so afraid of Yang Kai and was sent away with just one or two sentences.

“Come this way, two enshrined elders. There are too many people here and it’s not convenient to talk.” Yang Kai beckoned to them and walked towards the place where he had rested before.

Chang Qi and Hao An had mixed feelings in their hearts, a bit grateful and seemingly a bit embarrassed, but they still followed behind Yang Kai.

Moments later, the three of them distanced themselves from the noisy crowd and came to a secluded place.

There was no particular formality, and they all sat cross-legged.
