Chapter 1353
byActually, this kind of unfounded accusation didn’t make any sense at all. The people in the Shadowmoon Palace knew it, and the people in other forces also knew it.
But who made the Emperor’s Garden suspend right above the territory of the Shadowmoon Palace？ Everyone was afraid that the Shadowmoon Palace would take advantage of its proximity, but they couldn’t say it clearly. Now that such a thing had happened, of course, they had to make a big fuss about it.
After some bargaining and even quarrelling, the major forces on the Dark Star finally reached a unified opinion, that is even if the Emperor’s Garden opened, the many experts of the Shadowmoon Palace couldn’t enter in advance. They had to wait until the other forces gathered together and then make plans. Otherwise, they would become the public enemy.
The current situation of the Shadow Moon Palace is not exactly like walking on thin ice, but it’s not good either. After all, they just experienced an internal turmoil not long ago, and people are in a state of panic, eagerly in need of recuperation. Facing such an unfair proposal, they can only agree.
And now, the Heaven’s Fortune City can almost be said to be overcrowded. The number of people left behind by various forces is huge. The inns and post houses in the Heaven’s Fortune City are already full of people, and the business is booming.
Even some small families in the surrounding areas have to be responsible for receiving one or two and providing accommodation for those forces.
The more people there are, the more conflicts there will be. After all, the major forces on the Dark Star are not that harmonious. There is a lot of competition and grudges among them. Once they meet, if they don’t agree after a few words, it’s common for them to start fighting.
Almost every day, there are martial artists dying. And as the host, the Shadow Moon Palace naturally won’t interfere in the grudges of these foreign forces. As long as they don’t hinder their own interests, they maintain a stance of watching from the sidelines.
Inside the Stone Mansion, Yang Kai was injecting spatial power into those strange things as Yang Yan asked, while listening to her speak. From time to time, he would interrupt and ask a few questions, and Yang Yan would answer them one by one.
While he was busy, Yang Yan’s expression suddenly changed. She took out a messaging compass from the Space Ring, released her spiritual sense to sense it for a while, and then looked at Yang Kai strangely, with an ambiguous expression.
“What’s wrong？” Yang Kai asked in surprise.
“Someone is coming to see you.” Yang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, adding meaningfully, “An old acquaintance of yours.”
“Old acquaintance？” Yang Kai’s face darkened. He didn’t know many people on You’an Star, and even fewer with whom he had a real friendship. Yang Yan’s words left him stumped. For a moment, he couldn’t figure out who exactly was coming to see him, and when she said “old acquaintance,” there was clearly a strange tone in her voice.
“Who is it？” Yang Kai simply stopped guessing.
“Dai Yuan！” Yang Yan replied with a smile.
“Her…” Yang Kai furrowed his brows. If it were someone else, he could simply claim that he wasn’t in Dragon’s Cave Mountain and not go to meet them. But in the case of Dai Yuan, so wouldn’t be appropriate. After all, she had given him a glassware, and he had reaped many benefits from it. Moreover, last time the Stone Puppet had dug a passage through her Thousand Illusion Glazed Mountain and Yang Kai didn’t know if the glazed door had discovered it afterwards. Perhaps he could probe her for information through her.
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Kai stood up and said, “I’ll go and take a look.”
As he spoke, he walked outside.
After a short while, he arrived in front of the great formation of Dragon’s Cave Mountain. He took out a token and infused Saint Yuan into it. A mysterious light shot out from the token, and the great formation that had sealed off Dragon’s Cave Mountain immediately split open a path leading directly to the outside.
Before Yang Kai could take a step, he heard a burst of noisy voices from outside. He couldn’t help but feel a bit suspicious. Could it be that Dai Yuan didn’t come alone？ When he listened carefully to what those people outside were saying, his expression couldn’t help but darken a little, and his pace quickened slightly.
At this moment, outside the great formation of Dragon Cave Mountain, Dai Yuan was standing there delicately. If only looking at her back, anyone would think that this woman was a peerless beauty. That graceful back seemed to exude a kind of magic power that could involve people’s souls and continuously sink deeper, making people unable to extricate themselves.
But if you turned to look at her front, no one could associate her with the word ‘beauty’.
Dai Yuan was still the same as before, with a dark and yellow complexion and a face full of pockmarks. She looked ugly and didn’t cover her face with a veil. She showed herself in this appearance openly and generously, without the slightest sense of embarrassment.
Beside her, a group of more than a dozen warriors with uniform attire and different cultivation levels were looking at her. Many of them unceremoniously revealed expressions of disgust and pointed at her. And in that crowd, several women slightly raised their smooth chins, looking superior.
They weren’t particularly good-looking either, but compared with Dai Yuan’s face, each of them immediately became a beauty and gave birth to a sense of superiority for no reason.
“Hey, I’m talking to you, are you a mute, woman？” Among that group of people, the leader shouted loudly at Dai Yuan.
Dai Yuan turned her head and glanced at him indifferently, showing no intention of answering.
This attitude of ignoring him immediately made the leading martial artist extremely angry. He sneered and said, “You stinky woman, don’t know what’s good for you. Don’t think that just because you’re a woman, I don’t dare to do anything to you. Although you’re a bit ugly, you’re still a woman after all, so I’m giving you some face. But don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.”
Dai Yuan’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of disgust flashed across her face, but it quickly returned to normal.
In the past, if she had heard such words, she would definitely not be able to hold back and would start a fight. Her appearance used to be a reverse scale for her. But now, after being detoxified by Yang Kai, her appearance has long since returned to normal. The current appearance is just a disguise. So even if the other party said something unpleasant, she didn’t take it to heart.
“Senior Brother Hai, why waste words with her? Just capture her directly. Seeing that she came here to look for someone, she must have some relationship with the people inside. We’ve been waiting here for several days, and the owner of this place still hasn’t shown up. It’s really too disrespectful to us.” Among the crowd, another person shouted impatiently, looking eager to try.
“Oh？ Who should I put in my eyes？” A slightly sarcastic voice suddenly came from the inside of Dragon Cave Mountain. As he spoke, the great formation in front of him like a barrier suddenly split a crack, and a young man’s figure was revealed from it.
“Yang Kai.” Dai Yuan’s expression lit up with joy, and she quickly stepped forward to greet him.
“Miss Dai Yuan！” Yang Kai nodded slightly to her, and then raised his eyes to sweep over the group of people standing outside, and said lightly, “Are these people with you？”
Dai Yuan slowly shook her head and said softly, “They are from Haixin Sect.”
“Haixin Sect？ I haven’t heard of it.” Yang Kai curled his lip. Although until now, he didn’t know much about the distribution and strength of the major forces on You’an Star, at least he had heard of the relatively large forces. He really hadn’t heard of this Haixin Sect. It can be seen that this force should not be very good.
Dai Yuan, however, had wide knowledge. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to tell their origin from the clothes of these people. She said in a low voice, “It’s a force on Wuyou Sea. It’s normal that you haven’t heard of it.”
“So that’s the case.” Yang Kai understood. Wuyou Sea was already very far from here. If it wasn’t for the birth of Emperor’s Garden, they definitely wouldn’t have come here.
“You are the master of this place？” On the side of Haixin Sect, the leading martial artist looked Yang Kai up and down and asked in surprise.
“That’s right, I am the master of this place！” Yang Kai grinned with a smile.
“Just right. Since you are the master here, you can speak on behalf of this place.” Seeing that Yang Kai’s cultivation level was not high, only at the Third-Order Saint King Realm, the martial artist couldn’t help but have a bit of contempt in his eyes. With a hint of arrogance on his face, he said, “We are the disciples of the Sea Heart Sect in the Carefree Sea. This mountain range is now requisitioned by our Sea Heart Sect！ You go back and ask the people inside to clean up and make some room for us to live in.”
He looked very casual, as if he was giving orders to his subordinates, without any politeness at all.
After hearing this, Dai Yuan’s face showed a strange look. She turned her head and glanced at Yang Kai, thinking to herself whether these people had regarded Yang Kai as the patriarch of a small family affiliated to His Highness Shadow Moon?
Yang Kai also had this guess. Although he didn’t understand what was going on when he first came out, after a little thought, he guessed the general situation of the matter.
Nowadays, the City of Heavenly Fortune is overcrowded, and many foreign martial artists can’t find a place to stay. In this way, some small families nearby have become their targets. In order to conveniently monitor the dynamics of the Imperial Garden, it is natural to find a good location.
And the Dragon Cave Mountain is almost located right below the Imperial Garden, with an excellent location, so it will naturally be favored by many people.
Come to think of it, in these days, quite a number of martial artists belonging to various major forces have taken a fancy to Dragon Cave Mountain and wanted to enter the interior of Dragon Cave Mountain and stay there for the time being. However, the great formation of Dragon Cave Mountain is extremely exquisite. Some people have seen that this place is extraordinary and did not dare to disturb it rashly.
There are also some people who know that the master of Dragon Cave Mountain is a youth who can kill Void Return Stage powerhouses and has a good relationship with Qian Tong. Naturally, they will not break in without permission. But the Sea Heart Sect comes from the Carefree Sea and knows nothing about the affairs of Dragon Cave Mountain and Yang Kai. It is inevitable that they will do such things.
There are many secrets inside Dragon Cave Mountain, and various great formations cover it layer by layer. Not to mention the Sea Heart Sect, even if the people from the Battle Heaven Alliance or the Thunder Terrace Sect come, Yang Kai will not let them pass. Moreover, these people speak as if it is a matter of course, as if letting them live in Dragon Cave Mountain is his own honor. It really makes Yang Kai angry and funny.
Just one word of requisition and they want him to give up Dragon Cave Mountain. The tone of the Sea Heart Sect is bigger than the sky.
Thinking of this, Yang Kai’s eyes rolled and he chuckled, cupping his fists and saying, “So it turns out to be the friends of the Sea Heart Sect. I’ve long admired you.”
He had an expression of having admired them for a long time, which made the people of the Sea Heart Sect very pleased. Everyone was thinking that the reputation of their sect had actually become so great that it had even spread to the Shadow Moon Palace. A sense of pride spontaneously rose. The leading person even looked back at his juniors with a complacent expression, and then turned around to look at Yang Kai and said with a smile on his face, “There’s no need to say polite words. Since you know we are from the Sea Heart Sect, then go and prepare quickly. We dozen or so people don’t care, but later when my Shishu comes, you have to serve him well. Shishu’s temper is not very good. If you make him dissatisfied, you know the consequences.”
When saying this, the threat in this martial artist’s words was very strong, as if a bad service would bring disaster to the Dragon Cave Mountain.
