Chapter 1321

In the ruins of Tianyun City, Ma Xinyuan and the others stood still, their faces are gloomy (gloomy) and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

They simply didn’t expect that Yang Kai could really survive one move under Fei Zhitu and retreat completely unharmed.

The power of that move just now was seen by all of them. They knew that Fei Zhitu didn’t hold back. Such a move could not be safely received by all the Void Returning Realm cultivators here, but was blocked by a young man in the Third-Order Saint King Realm.

While Ma Xinyuan and the others were shocked in their hearts, they also had a deep sense of dread towards Yang Kai. That brat was only at the Third-Order Saint King Realm now, yet he had performed so outstandingly. If he really advanced to the Void Returning Realm, wouldn’t that be terrible？

Everyone present was an old fox, and naturally understood the truth of strangling danger in the cradle. Especially the meaningful look in Yang Kai’s eyes before he left, everyone had no doubt that once he cultivated successfully in the future, he would seek revenge.

After hesitating for a long time, Ma Xinyuan finally cupped his fists and said haltingly, “City Lord, are we really going to let him go like this？”

“If we don’t let him go, then what do you want to do？” Fei Zhitu was full of anger and had nowhere to vent it. Hearing this, he stared coldly at Ma Xinyuan.

“But that brat killed someone from the Xie family…”

“The Xie family！” Fei Zhitu snorted coldly. “You also know that it’s the Xie family’s. What does the life and death of the Xie family have to do with me？”

Ma Xinyuan’s expression was hesitant, and he didn’t dare to say more.

“Hmph, if you don’t want to let him leave, you can go after him now, as long as you are sure you can keep him！”

“City Lord is joking.” A group of people had extremely embarrassed expressions, and no one dared to mention Yang Kai’s matter anymore.

“If you don’t have confidence in your own strength, then stay put！ If anyone dares to question the words of this City Lord, don’t blame this City Lord for not showing mercy. Also, do you really think that old bastard Qian Tong won’t be able to come back？ Hehe, you better hope that your choice this time is correct, otherwise I’m afraid there will be no place for you in the Shadow Moon Palace in the future.”

The group of people looked at each other in dismay. Just as they were about to inquire further, they saw that Fei Zhitu had flicked his sleeve and disappeared from the spot.

“Brother Ma. What should we do? Listening to what City Lord Fei just said, it seems that there are still some twists and turns in the fight within the palace. Isn’t it rumored that Elder Qian…” Someone looked at Ma Xinyuan and asked.

“That’s right, Brother Ma. Didn’t you say that this major event was foolproof? If not for this, how could we have come here to cooperate with the Xie Family to deal with a Saint King Realm?” Another person asked.

Ma Xinyuan’s face turned iron blue, and he said impatiently: “You ask me, who should I ask? I also heard it from the people above. How could I know the specific situation? If you really want to know, you might as well ask Manager Xie and see what answer he will give.”

“Manager Xie…” Hearing Ma Xinyuan’s like this, how could the crowd not know that they had really been duped this time? Their hearts were filled with regret. Thinking about Qian Tong’s ability again, their complexions changed one after another. They clasped their fists and bid farewell and left.

Dragon Cave Mountain. Yang Kai returned here with a slightly pale face.

Just as he entered the mountain, he saw Wu Yi, Yang Yan, Qian Yue and others standing there waiting. When they saw him appear, the three women’s expressions lit up with joy and they quickly stepped forward to welcome him.

“You’re injured？” Wu Yi couldn’t help but cry out in surprise when she saw Yang Kai’s complexion was not right.

“It’s nothing serious. How are Yu Feng and the others？” Yang Kai waved his hand and asked.

“They’re all healing. They should recover soon. If you didn’t come back any later, Elder Chang and Elder Hao were going to go to Tianyun City again.”

“En.” Yang Kai nodded slightly. “Tell them not to go. This matter ends here. The Shadowmoon Palace shouldn’t take any more actions, but during this period of time, you should try not to go out. Be careful that the Xie family may take action.”

“I understand. I’ll watch over them and not let them go out.” Wu Yi quickly agreed, and then said with concern, “You should also hurry up and heal your injuries.”

Yang Kai nodded and then walked towards his stone mansion.

Fei Zhitu is indeed a powerhouse at the peak of the Void Return 3-layer Jing . Although that move didn’t seem like much, only by truly taking it can one know its fierceness. However, Yang Kai still knew that the other party didn’t use all his strength.

Not using all his strength and still being able to injure himself, it seems that the gap between himself and the Void Return 3-layer Jing is still quite obvious.

Taking out a few bottles of pills from the ring, pouring out a few pills one by one and stuffing them into his mouth, he closed his eyes and began to adjust his breath.

The injury wasn’t serious, just a bit of unsteady breath. After half a day of meditation, Yang Kai had already recovered. After all, the golden blood in his body originally had a powerful recovery ability, and this minor injury wasn’t a big deal to him.

Releasing his spiritual sense, he noticed that it was already late at night outside. Yang Kai’s expression moved, and he quietly got up, opened the restriction of the stone mansion, and left Dragon Cave Mountain without a sound. He cast his footwork and headed straight for Tianyun City.

In a short while, he arrived in the city and followed the route in his memory, rushing all the way towards the location of the City Lord’s Mansion.

After another cup of tea’s worth of time, Yang Kai had already appeared in the City Lord’s Mansion. Although it was his first time here, with the detection of his spiritual sense, he could also master the situation of the entire City Lord’s Mansion.

Tonight’s City Lord’s Mansion was a bit strange. It was quiet all around, without a single person. Even the martial artists who were usually in charge of guarding were withdrawn tonight.

The people in the City Lord’s Mansion didn’t know why all this was happening. They only knew that it was an order from the City Lord. Tonight, everyone was strictly prohibited from walking around in the mansion. Once discovered, they would be killed without mercy！

Under this strict order, naturally no one dared to violate the City Lord’s majesty.

Noticing this, Yang Kai simply swaggered around in the City Lord’s Mansion. After turning and turning, he came to a side room inside the City Lord’s Mansion. Just as he stood still, the voice of Fei Zhitu came from inside the room： “Since you’re here, come in and sit down.”

Hearing this, Yang Kai smiled slightly and pushed the door open generously.

Inside the wing room, Fei Zhitu sat upright on a chair, looking towards the door with a half-smile. When Yang Kai walked in, he waved his hand and a strand of Saint Yuan shot out, closing the door again.

Yang Kai’s expression remained unchanged. He directly walked to another chair beside Fei Zhitu and sat down, looking completely calm.

“I knew during the day that you were very bold, but I didn’t expect to underestimate you. Aren’t you afraid that this is a dangerous place and it’s easy to get in but hard to get out？” Fei Zhitu sneered.

“Senior is joking. If you really wanted to deal with me, you wouldn’t have gone to so much trouble. Just do it directly.” Yang Kai replied lightly.

A fine light flashed in Fei Zhitu’s eyes, and he nodded and said, “Good, at least Old Man Qian Tong didn’t misjudge you. You’re a man！”

I wonder what important matter Senior had in mind when you told me during the day and asked me to come here at this “time?” Yang Kai’s expression turned solemn as he opened his mouth to ask.

During the day, after he fought against Fei Zhitu, the other party suddenly pronounced a sentence asking him to come to the City Lord’s Mansion again at night, which really made Yang Kai extremely puzzled. Although he didn’t quite understand the ins and outs, he could more or less guess that it should be related to the recent changes of the Shadow Moon Palace.

“If I were to say that I want to ask you to do me a favor, would you believe it？”

“Help？” Yang Kai furrowed his brows. “Help with what？”

“This matter shall not be mentioned for the time being. Let me ask you first, what do you think of the matter of the Shadowmoon Palace this time？” Fei Zhitu’s face was solemn, and he asked in a low voice.

Yang Kai shook his head： “I have been in seclusion in Dragon Cave Mountain during this period of time and don’t know much about the outside affairs. Please enlighten me, senior.”

“So that’s how it is！” Fei Zhitu nodded slightly. “Since this is the case, then this city lord won’t beat around the bush with you. The reason why your Dragon Cave Mountain has been targeted this time is actually because of the internal strife in our Shadowmoon Palace. In this matter, our Shadowmoon Palace owes you. After all, over the past few years, you have had a pleasant cooperation with our Shadowmoon Palace, exchanging what we have for what we need, and both sides have reaped huge benefits. However, the reason why your Dragon Cave Mountain can exist and live in peace is mainly because of the protection of the old bastard Qian Tong. Now, Qian Tong has encountered some troubles. Some people want to deal with him, so they use the pretext of your grudge with the Xie family to deal with Dragon Cave Mountain first and test the reaction of Qian Tong’s side.”

After saying that, Fei Zhitu stared at Yang Kai, but surprisingly, he didn’t see any surprised expression on his face. He was stunned and said, “You already knew?”

Yang Kai chuckled： “I had a slight guess.”

“Youdaoplaceholder0!” A hint of approval flickered in Fei Zhitu’s eyes. “Since you already guessed this long ago, it will be much easier to talk. In simple terms, originally there were two factions within the Shadow Moon Palace. One faction was led by the old bastard Qian Tong, and the other was led by an elder named Feng Zhen. The two had different concepts and had many conflicts within the palace. Moreover, one of these two elders was in charge of weapon refining and secret treasures in the palace, and the other was in charge of alchemy and pills in the palace. And the other elders and who attachment on the two were basically balanced. So over the years, although there were some disputes between these two factions, there were no major frictions. But now, because of one thing, this balance has been broken.”

“The matter of Master Ge Lin’s death？” Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and thought of this matter. Qian Tong had a very good personal relationship with Master Ge Lin. With the death of Master Ge Lin, Qian Tong’s side was equivalent to losing a heavyweight figure, and the other faction would inevitably have some ulterior motives.”

He thought his guess was correct, but he didn’t know that Fei Zhitu sneered and shook his head： “The matter of Master Ge Lin’s death was only an inducement. The real thing that made these two factions tear off their masks was something else.”

“What thing?” Yang Kai was stunned.

“Come to think of it, you have also seen that thing.” Fei Zhitu said in a low voice： “The pulp of the red candle fruit！”

“It’s it！” Yang Kai suddenly realized.

“In the Shadow Moon Palace, the cultivation base of the Palace Master is not the most powerful. The truly powerful ones are still that old bastard Qian Tong and that Feng Zhen. Both of them are the most hopeful to advance to the Void King Realm. And there is only such a small piece of Red Candle Fruit Meat. Everyone wants it. Just think about it, how will the situation develop？”

“If that’s the case, then it can be explained.” A look of understanding flashed across Yang Kai’s face.

Two years ago, the Flowing Flame Sand Land was opened, and a Red Candle Fruit appeared on the third floor. Although it was finally cut into several pieces by Leng Qing of the Star Emperor Mountain, Wei Guchang and Dong Xuan’er finally managed to snatch a piece and bring it back to the Shadow Moon Palace. The temptation of this kind of heaven and earth treasure that can help Void Returning Realm martial artists break through their shackles is really too great. It is not surprising that the original balance of the Shadow Moon Palace was broken.
