Chapter 1324
byThe east was just beginning to dawn, and it was the darkest moment before dawn. A figure quietly shot out from the Dragon Cave Mountain and disappeared in an instant.
Half an hour later, a thousand miles north of Tianyun City, this figure reappeared. It was Yang Kai who had come as promised. He looked around for a while and immediately flew towards a small hill not far away.
At this moment, there were already two people who had arrived at the hill in advance and were sitting cross-legged in meditation. Both of them were men and didn’t look very old. Moreover, surprisingly, they also only had the cultivation base of the Third-Order Saint King Realm.
Yang Kai didn’t hide his figure and directly rushed onto the hill. As soon as he stood still, the two of them opened their eyes and gave him a faint glance. One of the men who looked a bit more mature didn’t seem to want to speak and closed his eyes indifferently again.
However, the other person looked at him with great interest and nodded slightly at him.
Yang Kai nodded back at him as well, but neither side had the intention of speaking. The area on the hilltop was not small. While Yang Kai was suspicious in his heart, he quickly found a place and sat cross-legged.
Previously, he heard Fei Zhitu say that this operation was dangerous, and he thought that Fei Zhitu would bring many Void Returning Jing cultivators. After all, the other party had clearly stated that if it wasn’t for taking a fancy to the power of the Firebird Weapon Spirit, with his strength, he simply wouldn’t have the qualifications to participate in this operation.
Who would have known that as soon as he arrived at the appointed place, he actually saw two martial artists with the same cultivation level as himself.
Although he was suspicious, Yang Kai also knew that since Fei Zhitu wanted to bring them along, he must have his own plans. These two people either had some special abilities that Fei Zhitu could rely on, or they were the elites among the elites.
Judging from the current situation, the possibility of the former is relatively high.
On the hilltop, the three of them didn’t make a sound. For a while, it was extremely quiet. After waiting for about half a stick of incense, Yang Kai, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and looked into the distance. There, a rainbow light was rapidly approaching this place. Obviously, it was also a martial artist coming here to gather.
Because Fei Zhitu’s operation this time was very confidential, everyone was acting separately. This was also within Yang Kai’s expectations.
When the rainbow light approached and landed on the hilltop, a beautiful figure was revealed. The newcomer was actually a woman, and her figure was enchanting, her appearance was beautiful and her long black hair was shiny, looking very eye-catching.
However, the cultivation level of this woman was actually the Third-Order Saint King Realm, which made Yang Kai feel puzzled.
Including himself, four Third-Order Saint King Realm martial artists had gathered here. Where was Fei Zhitu？ Could it be that he was counting on these four Saint King Realm martial artists to rescue Qian Tong？ As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Yang Kai’s face sank.
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Yang Kai’s face sank.
However, after the woman landed, she suddenly found that the three best positions here had been occupied and couldn’t help but frown.
The man who had expressed his friendliness to Yang Kai before stood up excitedly and said, “So it’s Miss Sisi. It’s been a year since we last met. I hope Miss Sisi is well.”
Judging from his tone, it seemed that he knew this woman, and judging from his expression, it seemed that he was very interested in her.
The woman named Sisi glanced at him and said indifferently, “Cai He? You’re here too. Fei City Lord’s vision isn’t so good. Even a array master like you have been invited. It seems that this trip is unpredictable.”
Although she ridiculed him, the man named Cai He didn’t show any annoyance at all. He said, “Actually, Fei City Lord invited my father before. But my father is in seclusion and it’s inconvenient for him to go out. So I came instead. I’m afraid I’ll have to cooperate with Miss Sisi a lot on this trip. Please don’t hesitate to give me some advice.”
“Hmph！” The woman named Si Si let out a cold snort, and there was a look of pride on her pretty face. “I don’t dare to offer any teachings. Although your Cai family’s research on the way of arrays is not as good as our Du family’s, there are still some unique features. Just don’t hold me back this time.”
“That’s right, that’s right！” Cai He still had a smiling face, as if he had no backbone at all, which made another man couldn’t help but show a hint of contempt.
After listening to their conversation, Yang Kai finally understood why Fei Zhitu would bring these two Saint King Third Orders. It turned out that these two had quite a lot of research on the way of arrays, and the whole family was like this. It seemed that Fei Zhitu still had some preparations.
Du Si Si looked at the cold man and Yang Kai again, and asked arrogantly, “Who are these two？ Are they also invited by City Lord Fei？ Why is their cultivation the same as ours？”
She looked down on Saint King Realm martial artists, which made Yang Kai couldn’t help but frown. He knew that this woman should be a proud and arrogant person.
Cai He let out a dry laugh. “I don’t know the origins of these two either. If the two of you don’t mind, how about introducing yourselves？ Anyway, we will have to go on the road together next, and it will be beneficial to get more familiar with each other for future cooperation.”
Compared with Du Sisi, this Cai He should have a very gentle temper. When talking to Du Sisi, he is gentle and refined. When asking Yang Kai and the other person, he also has a smile on his face, which makes people involuntarily have a sense of closeness.
“Lian Guang!” ” The man with a cold expression was stingy with words. After reporting his name, there was no more.
“The surname is Lian…” It was Du Sisi and Cai He who couldn’t help but change their expressions slightly when they heard it. They looked at that Lian Guang with some dread, as if the other person’s surname had a great origin.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but look at him curiously.
Because the Lian family is very famous in this area. Even on the entire You’an Star, its reputation is not weaker than that of ordinary sects. Even someone as ignorant as Yang Kai has heard of it. One can imagine how great the reputation of this family is.
The Lian family is not so powerful, and the population is not prosperous either. It is said that there are only about a hundred people in the entire family, and the strongest one is only at the Void Returning 1-layer Realm. Such a family, on You’an Star, there are not one thousand but eight hundred, but only the Lian family is widely known.
The reason is nothing else. The Lian family is proficient in the art of puppets.
It is said that the disciples of the Lian family are all good at refining and driving puppets. Their cultivation bases may not be too high, but their combat power far exceeds that of martial artists of the same level. Because they have countless puppets refined by themselves to assist in the battle. Once they fight with others, a spectacular scene of several people fighting one or even a dozen puppets going into battle together will be formed.
Moreover, it is heard that the Lian family also has several most powerful puppets whose strength is comparable to that of the Return to Void Third Layer Realm. The existence of just these few puppets is enough to deter many petty people.
There was once a family whose strength far exceeded that of the Lian family. It coveted the other party’s puppet technique, wanted to wipe out its entire family and snatch the secret technique of refining puppets. Unfortunately, even if it exhausted the power of the whole family, it still failed to succeed. In the end, it was instead uprooted by the Lian family.
It was precisely that battle that made the reputation of the Lian family known. Several puppets with strength comparable to that of the Return to Void Third Layer Realm shone brightly in that battle, killing countless enemies. While making people covet, they were also extremely afraid.
And the Lian family is also quite smart. They deeply understand that an innocent man is guilty if he harbors wealth. Since then, they have found the Shadow Moon Palace as a backer and have been refining some puppets for the Shadow Moon Palace for free every year. Under its protection, they have been safe until now, and no one dares to have any ideas about it anymore.
So after hearing this Lian Guang’s self-introduction, Du Sisi and Cai He were shocked. The families they came from were not small either, and could be regarded as famous families. Because they were both proficient in the way of formations, but compared with the Lian family, in terms of reputation, they were still much worse.
Yang Kai, however, showed a thoughtful look. Fei Zhitu wanted to bring Du Sisi and Cai He along, surely it was to break the restrictions and formations in that ancient ruin, which was also understandable. But why did he find a person from the Lian family to come over？
And that Lian Guang, after reporting his name, didn’t say much more, as if he was born taciturn.
After Du Sisi and Cai He came back to their senses, they both looked at Yang Kai. When Yang Kai reported his own family name, the expressions of the two immediately became strange.
Cai He even looked Yang Kai up and down and said in surprise, “Brother Yang, could you be the person who made a big fuss in Tianyun City a few days ago？”
Yang Kai chuckled dryly and said, “If there is no second person who went to Tianyun City to make a fuss, then it should be me！”
Cai He immediately regarded Yang Kai as a remarkable person. Even the arrogant look of Du Sisi converged a lot. Not only that, but Lian Guang even opened his eyes and looked at Yang Kai again.
Although the families these three people belong to are not weak, none of them has the courage to go to Tianyun City to kill and set fire. What’s even more bizarre is that not only did this guy get away with it after killing and setting fire, but he was also invited here by Fei Zhitu to participate in this operation.
This surprised the three of them. They didn’t know what kind of agreement Yang Kai had reached with Fei Zhitu that made the latter not pursue his responsibility.
However, the three of them knew that some things were better left unsaid, so they didn’t ask to the bottom. But after learning Yang Kai’s identity, Cai He had a feeling of hitting it off with Yang Kai at first sight. He no longer remained silent as before, but talked and laughed with him.
After a while of chatting, Yang Kai finally understood why his attitude had changed so much. It turned out that there were also many conflicts between the Cai family and the Xie family, and they had even suffered several losses at the hands of the Xie family. Last time in Tianyun City, Yang Kai killed a Void Returning Jing powerhouse of the Xie family. After this matter spread, many families and martial artists who had enmity with the Xie family clapped and cheered. Naturally, the Cai family was also among them.
Yang Kai killing that Xie Quan was equivalent to helping them vent their hatred. How could they not be happy？
As a member of the Cai family, Cai He naturally looked at Yang Kai very favorably.
And Du Sisi found a place to sit down casually and closed her eyes to adjust her breath.
After waiting for almost about half an hour or so, several figures suddenly and strangely appeared on the small hillock, which startled the three Saint King Realms except Yang Kai. Only Yang Kai, with his powerful spiritual awareness, had already noticed, so his expression was calm.
After seeing clearly that the person was Fei Zhitu Cai He and the others relaxed and stepped forward one after another to bow.
