Chapter 1301
byAlthough it was just a faint greeting, the four words Elder Qianyue, when they entered her ears, made the woman opposite tremble violently, and she suddenly raised her head, staring at Yang Kai in disbelief.
Immediately, a look of surprise and confusion burst out in her beautiful eyes. It seemed that she recognized Yang Kai, but she wasn’t sure. For a moment, it was extremely complicated.
“What?” Elder Qianyue doesn’t recognize Yang? Yang Kai smiled slightly at her.
“Yang Kai!” Qianyue exclaimed in a voice, covering her mouth with one hand her beautiful eyes trembling violently. “It’s really you!”
“In this kind of place, other than me, who else would know that you are Elder Qianyue?” Yang Kai raised an eyebrow.
Qianyue’s expression became even stranger. She stared blankly at Yang Kai, looking a bit like she wanted to laugh and a bit like she wanted to cry. Her complexion struggled for a long time, and it took quite a while for her to regain her composure. A touch of kindness appeared in her eyes, as if she had found a long-lost family member. She gently took a breath, and her full chest rose and fell. Then she greeted, “I never expected to run into you here.”
Yang Kai grinned: “Nor did I.”
“Oh right, sit down and talk.” Qianyue suddenly came back to her senses and quickly greeted.
Yang Kai nodded and sat down as she said.
Qianyue also sat down. With their eyes meeting, both of them fell silent. Clearly, each of them had a bellyful of questions they wanted to ask, but for a moment, they didn’t know where to start.
Qianyue’s mood was unstable, and neither was Yang Kai’s. The Miss Yue’er in front of him was actually the former Elder Qianyue of the Ice Sect on the Tongxuan Continent!
Yang Kai didn’t have much interaction with this woman. They could only be said to know each other. However, she had taught Su Yan to cultivate. Although there was no nominal master-disciple relationship, there was still some affection for imparting the cultivation path.
After Meng Wuya brought Xia Ning Shang and Su Yan back to the Tongxuan Continent from the Void Tunnel beneath the Central Capital that year, because Meng Wuya had his own matters to attend to and needed to relieve the Tianxuan Seal decision planted on him by the Demon Venerable Changyuan and couldn’t always protect Su Yan, he entrusted Su Yan to the Ice Sect, a hidden and secluded sect.
Later, Yang Kai also arrived on the Tongxuan Continent. After much inquiry and with many twists and turns he also rushed to the Ice Sect. There, he met this Elder Qianyue and even fought with her.
At that time, among the entire Ice Sect, apart from Qianyue, Yang Kai vaguely remembered that there were several other Saint Realm elders. Among them was a person named Qian Hao, who was Elder Qianyue’s older brother. And the Ice Lord Qingya even had the cultivation base of the Third-Order Saint at that time Realm and was one of the few powerful figures standing at the very top on the Tongxuan Continent.
That year, Yang Kai only had the cultivation base of the Transcendent Realm. He was able to fight against several Saint Realm experts of the Ice Sect entirely relying on the Soul Devouring Insect. Finally, he forced out the Ice Lord Qingya. After a long talk he was able to blend his soul with Su Yan’s and the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique reached its great completion.
In less than twenty years, the once sect elder whom Yang Kai had to look up to was now reduced to a life of prostitution, seemingly without freedom, and could only wait here for customers to choose, using the dual cultivation method to help others break through bottlenecks. The changes of time and circumstances really made Yang Kai feel a thousand emotions. Moreover, his current cultivation level was also higher than that of this Elder Qianyue.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Yang Kai’s expression suddenly moved, and he smiled and said, “I heard that Girl Yue’er used to cultivate an ice-attribute cultivation method. I wonder where Girl is from and how she ended up here?”
Qianyue’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed. She subconsciously glared at Yang Kai, but after seeing the strange color flashing in his eyes, she suddenly had a feeling in her heart and faintly replied, “I did indeed cultivate an ice-attribute cultivation method before, but this has nothing to do with the distinguished guest. As for how I ended up here, it is not something the distinguished guest needs to care about.”
Yang Kai didn’t take it to heart and just smiled indifferently: “Since that’s the case, then Yang won’t ask anymore. But when it comes to dual cultivation later, it’s natural that we need to communicate more, so Yang wants to have a long talk with Girl to enhance mutual understanding. I wonder what Girl thinks?
“Since it is the request of the distinguished guest, this concubine will naturally cooperate.” Qianyue still gently replied.
Yang Kai nodded slightly and then casually started chatting with Qianyue, talking about all kinds of trivial matters, mostly interesting rumors from various places, which made Qianyue listen with great interest. Although her expression was cold, there was some curious look in her beautiful eyes.
After a long while, Yang Kai’s voice paused, his expression converged, and he nodded slightly to Qianyue: “Alright, that monitoring spiritual sense has left.”
Qianyue’s expression also froze, and at the same time, she showed a surprised expression and said, “Yang Kai, you still make people unable to see through. Back then, you were just a Transcendent Realm martial artist, yet you dared to break into the Ice Sect alone. Now, when you come to this Harmony Building, you can actually detect the spiritual sense monitoring of those people. How did you do it?”
The spiritual sense that can monitor here must belong to a Void Returning Realm powerhouse! If Qianyue hadn’t noticed the strange expression on Yang Kai’s face, she wouldn’t have cooperated with him so much.
But Qianyue clearly detected that Yang Kai’s cultivation was only at the Second-Order Saint King Realm, which surprised her greatly.
Yang Kai smiled slightly: “My spiritual sense is just a little stronger than that of ordinary martial artists.”
“It’s not just a little stronger.” Qianyue shook her head with a bitter smile, but didn’t ask further. Instead, she eagerly said, “Why are you in this place?”
“I also want to ask you this question.” Yang Kai’s expression became serious, and he looked at her solemnly.
“This matter is a long story.” Qianyue smiled bitterly, picked up the cup and teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yang Kai. After slightly organizing her thoughts, she then said, “Presumably you should know by now why our Ice Sect has been in that glacier world and hidden from the world all these years?”
“Yes, I have some understanding. It is said that you were guarding the Bone Race there.” Yang Kai nodded slightly, and the memories of the past surged up.
“That’s right, but the revival of the Bone Race was too fierce, which was beyond the expectation of our Ice Sect. There was even an existence that we couldn’t fight against. And our Ice Sect is no longer as glorious as it was in the past. Relying solely on a few Saint Realm powerhouses simply couldn’t resist! Fortunately, in the past, the predecessors of our Ice Sect, when killing those Bone Races, once captured a star shuttle. That star shuttle was in the charge of each generation of Ice Lords. After the Ice Sect was destroyed, Ice Lord Qingya knew that she couldn’t take us to escape, so she could only take the risk of breaking into the star gate near the Ice Sect. Relying on the power of the star shuttle, we were able to enter the star field!
“I also found out about this.” Yang Kai took a deep breath. “Since you have entered the star field, why did you appear here? Where is Ice Lord Qingya? Where is Su Yan? Where are they now?” Yang Kai asked anxiously.
Qianyue’s expression darkened. Seeing this, Yang Kai’s face suddenly turned pale, and a sense of unease surged up in his heart.
Seeing his expression, Qianyue immediately knew he had misunderstood and quickly waved her hand and said, “You don’t need to think too much. Although I don’t know where they are now, Qingya Ice Lord and Su Yan should be fine.”
“How can you be sure?” Yang Kai looked at her suspiciously.
“By relying on this.” Qianyue suddenly rotated her wrist, and two crystal-clear ice beads appeared in the palm of her hand. Each ice bead was only the size of a fingernail and was pure and flawless.
As soon as Yang Kai saw these two ice beads, his expression froze, and his gaze was fixed on one of them and could no longer be moved. He felt Su Yan’s aura from this ice bead, and the other ice bead had Qingya’s aura.
“What is this?” Yang Kai looked up at Qianyue.
“This is the Ice Soul Pearl condensed by relying on the secret art of our Ice Sect. As long as the bead is there, the person is there. If the bead is broken, the person will die!” Qianyue explained softly. “Each Ice Soul Pearl corresponds to a person. We were also afraid of getting separated in the star field, so we condensed them just in case. I have their Ice Soul Pearls in my hand, and they also have my Ice Soul Pearl in their hands. Now that these two Ice Soul Pearls are not broken, it means that they are still alive!”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s heart relaxed, and burst out in his eyes.
As long as Su Yan is fine, he is relieved. Although he doesn’t know where she is now, one day the two of them will meet again. Yang Kai firmly believes this.
After pondering for a while, Yang Kai said, “Can you give me this Ice Soul Pearl?”
Qianyue smiled slightly: “Of course there’s no problem with that. After all, you are the person closest to Su Yan girl in this world.”
As she spoke, she handed over the Ice Soul Pearl belonging to Su Yan. Yang Kai thanked her and reached out to take it.
It was extremely cold to the touch, causing Yang Kai to involuntarily recall Su Yan’s appearance and her every frown and smile in the past. A hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. Yang Kai felt thesmell that he had been longing for again, and then carefully put it into his Black Book Space.
After doing all this, Yang Kai let out a long sigh, and his body and mind actually relaxed a lot in an instant. The invisible pressure that had been weighing on his heart for a long time also dissipated at this moment. The Saint Yuan in his body involuntarily rumbled and circulated, causing the nearby Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to surge violently.
After learning that Su Yan was not in trouble and letting go of the pressure in his heart, his entire Qi machine was actually tumbling and unstable, and there was a vague sign of a breakthrough on the spot.
For a long time, although Yang Kai hadn’t said much about Su Yan to anyone, even to himself, he only thought about it occasionally. But that kind of worry and concern, under the influence of subtle influence, had actually become a stumbling block on Yang Kai’s path of progress and also a shackle in his heart.
Now, under the impact of Su Yan’s aura, this shackle was broken without a fight. With the Ice Soul Pearl able to determine the life and death of his beloved, he naturally felt a relaxation in both body and mind. The last time he refined the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water in the Flowing Flame Sand Land, it directly pushed his cultivation to the peak of the Second-Order Saint King Realm. Now, almost two years have passed, and indeed it has reached the verge of a breakthrough.
Today’s matter was just a trigger. Even if there was no such thing today, Yang Kai estimated that in the shortest three months or the longest half a year, he would still have to break through. The reason why he was in a hurry to return to Dragon Cave Mountain was also because he wanted to make preparations for the breakthrough.
The abnormal state on his body naturally did not escape Qianyue’s eyes. Looking at him in surprise, Qianyue’s expression turned happy. Just as she was about to offer congratulations, Yang Kai frowned, forcefully suppressing the tumbling of his own Saint Yuan. After his face turned slightly red, he acted as if nothing had happened.
