Chapter 1453
byAlthough Yang Kai’s current combat strength was not afraid of any Return to Void cultivator, if that Blood Demon Sect Master was determined to escape, he wouldn’t have any way either, unless he blocked all her retreats in advance.
Fortunately, her plan didn’t succeed.
Moments later, the Stone Puppet ran over happily and handed a spatial ring to Yang Kai. That was obviously something originally owned by the Blood Demon Sect Master. Yang Kai took it, swept it with his spiritual thoughts, and happily put it away.
As the leader of a cult, the beautiful woman’s family background was naturally rich. However, Yang Kai didn’t have the time to check them one by one and could only put them aside for the time being and wait until he left the Emperor’s Garden. Turning his head to look, he didn’t find Jin Shi’s spatial ring. It was estimated that it had been accidentally exiled into a void crack by himself. It was absolutely impossible to find it back.
It didn’t matter much either. The gains from this battle were already sufficient. At the very least, Yang Kai’s original purpose had been achieved.
Reaching out and sweeping, he put the stone puppet into the space of the Black Book. Yang Kai said lightly, “Let’s go.”
“Oh.” Bi Luo seemed a little absent-minded. After gently nodding, she was led by Yang Kai and flew towards the end of the Ice Road. Her expression was strange along the way.
She felt that her previous thoughts were completely wrong!
Before, when she saw Yang Kai and found that his cultivation level was the same as her own, Bi Luo subconsciously felt that Kai was not a good match for her adult. She was a little frustrated and felt that Yang Kai had not worked hard to cultivate in these years and the gap with her adult was getting bigger and bigger. But after this battle, she realized that although Yang Kai’s cultivation level was two small levels lower than her adult’s, in terms of real combat power, he was probably on a par with her adult. In the battle just now, if her adult had come to deal with it, maybe it wouldn’t have been as perfect as Yang Kai did.
However, it was a pity that Yang Kai had relied on too many external forces. Although this was also part of his strength, there were always unsatisfactory places. One’s own strength was the foundation, and external forces were ultimately not a long-term solution.
No one is perfect, and even beautiful jade has flaws. Now it seems that although there is a gap between him and my adult, it is not very big, and he is barely worthy.
With this thought in mind, Bi Luo’s mood inexplicably improved a lot.
The dangers in the ice path have been completely eliminated, and the journey is naturally unimpeded. Soon, Yang Kai brought Bi Luo to the main hall where he had been before. Arriving here, Yang Kai was already quite familiar with the way.
However, he didn’t rush to leave, but stared at the rear with a slightly wrinkled frown.
Moments later, two figures chased over from there. They were exactly the two women from Bing Xin Valley.
After leaving the ice path, they were shocked to see Yang Kai waiting here. Both women were stunned and a vigilant look appeared on their faces. Then the older woman stepped forward and said, May I ask the little brother’s name? Thank you, little brother, for saving our lives just now.
Yang Kai glanced at them faintly and said, “If you chased after just to say thank you, then there is no need. I originally had a feud with those two people, and killing them has nothing to do with you.”
Hearing this, Tan Tinghe gave a wry smile and said, “Although that’s the case, those two people are clearly not good things. If it weren’t for the little brother’s killing, my junior sister and I would probably be doomed. So in any case, please let this my junior sister bow to you.
Saying so, she actually made a graceful curtsy with the other woman.
Yang Kai’s expression was indifferent, and he didn’t bother to stop them. Although he didn’t have the intention to draw his sword and help, it was indeed a fact that they had saved their lives because of his appearance. Otherwise, with the personality and style of Jin Shi, these two women would probably have been doomed.
It was not too much to accept their courtesy.
After thanking, seeing that Yang Kai didn’t show much reaction and even showed an appearance of keeping strangers away, the expressions of the two women were somewhat embarrassed. They looked at each other and seemed to have something to say but hesitated.
Is there anything else? Yang Kai frowned, showing a little displeasure. In their current situation, it would be best if they could quickly find a place to sit cross-legged and adjust their breath. Why were they always entangled with him?
Could it be that seeing his good strength, they wanted to join hands with him? Or did they want to rely on him to protect their safety? Yang Kai guessed in his heart. If so, then they had miscalculated.
Although they looked good, he wasn’t that kind-hearted to casually take action and help. Bringing Bi Luo alone was already strenuous enough, and Yang Kai had no intention of taking care of two more injured people.
It’s like this.” Tan Tinghe stroked the hair beside her ear and looked at Yang Kai expectantly, asking, “Dare I ask, was the thing that devoured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth just now the legendary ancient Holy Spirit, the Ice Phoenix?
Yang Kai’s eyes shrank, staring coldly at the other party, his expression turning gloomy.
Sensing his hostility, Tan Tinghe quickly waved her hand. “Little brother, don’t misunderstand. My junior sister and I have no intention of doing anything to you. Besides, in our current situation, we don’t have the ability. I’m just asking.”
“So what if it is? So what if it isn’t?” Yang Kai snorted coldly. This woman was really too ungrateful. What was she doing prying into these things? Didn’t she know that some things were taboo? If he was a person with a bad temper, just because of her words, he could have killed her.
Hearing his answer, Tan Tinghe’s face lit up with joy, and she said eagerly, “If it is really the Ice Phoenix… can little brother transfer it to my Bingxin Valley? We can meet any of your requirements!”
“Transfer?” Yang Kai’s face froze, and he laughed out of anger. “Are you still asleep? How could you say such a thing?”
Even Bi Luo, who was an outsider, looked at Tan Tinghe with a sneer on her face.
This proposal was the funniest joke she had ever heard in her life. How noble was the Ice Phoenix? Yang Kai was able to obtain a wisp of its remnant soul, which was an against-the-sky opportunity. How could he possibly transfer it?
But in the face of Yang Kai’s cold words, Tan Tinghe wasn’t discouraged. Instead, she said seriously, “To be honest with you, little brother, the Ice Heart Valley practices ice-attribute cultivation techniques, and the totem worshipped by the disciples is precisely the Ice Phoenix. So that thing has an unimaginable effect on our Ice Heart Valley.”
“So what?” Yang Kai became impatient.
“If my perception is not wrong, little brother, the cultivation technique you practice should not be of the ice attribute! Although the Ice Phoenix is rare, it doesn’t have much use for you, nor can it exert its full potential. If you can agree to transfer it, I can represent the Sect and promise you all conditions!” Tan Tinghe spoke extremely fast, hurriedly stating her plan. The other woman from the Ice Heart Valley also nodded in agreement beside her.
If Yang Kai could really agree to this deal, no matter how great the price the Ice Heart Valley paid would be worth it. So they dared to make this decision beyond the other high-level members of the Sect . They believed that the others in the Sect would only be glad and fortunate, and there would be no complaints or dissatisfaction at all.
“I just regarded your words as a deaf ear. If you dare to say another word, I will make you two never leave the Emperor’s Garden! Yang Kai coldly glanced at them, threatened without hesitation, and then pulled Bi Luo and walked aside.
“Little brother, you think about it carefully. If you think it through, just come to the Ice Heart Valley on Chi Lan Star!” Tan Tinghe still didn’t seem to give up and shouted from behind.
As soon as the words fell, a golden light shot over from the front. Mid-air, it changed from a stabbing motion to a whipping motion and swept across her body like a whip. A shrill cry rang out and Tan Tinghe was whipped into the air and landed heavily on the ground.
By the time she looked up, Yang Kai and Bi Luo had already disappeared.
“Senior Sister!” The other woman from Bingxin Valley was shocked and quickly walked over to help Tan Tinghe up.
“I’m fine.” Tan Tinghe slowly shook her head. A hint of unwillingness surged up on her face. She wanted to chase after them, but remembering the force of that strike just now, she didn’t dare to act rashly again.
She understood that her words just now had already aroused the other party’s killing intent. It was just that the other party was not a malicious person, so he had only given her a slight punishment and hadn’t really killed her.
It would undoubtedly be very unwise to enrage the other party at this moment. It was no different from courting death.
But watching a martial artist who wasn’t cultivating an ice-attribute cultivation method leave with the remnant soul of the Ice Phoenix in his possession, she was filled with unwillingness. If that kind of thing was placed in Bingxin Valley, the role it could play would be enormous.
“How could this person be so unreasonable?” The younger woman was indignant.
“It’s us who were a bit too ungrateful.” Tan Tinghe gave a wry smile.
“But Senior Sister, are we just going to watch this great opportunity slip away right before our eyes?” Another woman was clearly not quite willing to give up.
“What else can we do? For now, we can only hope that he will change his mind one day. Anyway, I have already told him the cultivation star where our Ice Heart Valley is located. If there really comes a day when he wants to exchange, he should come to the sect.” Tan Tinghe shook her head. “Forget it, let’s stop here. Junior Sister, let’s find a place to adjust our breath first.”
“Okay.”
On the other side, Yang Kai and Bi Luo left the palace. Although Tan Tinghe’s proposal was rejected by him in one go, and he even took action to teach her a lesson, Yang Kai’s mood was a bit delicate.
There was no other reason. The remnant soul of the Ice Phoenix was what he left for Su Yan, a inherit that originally belonged to Su Yan. Now, however, it has been taken a fancy to by outsiders and they even had the audacity to open their mouths to exchange, which made him very angry.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had no enmity with those two women, he would have already taken action to exterminate them. How could he have let them chatter on and on.
Along the way, Bi Luo was extremely honest and did not say a word. She also knew that in this crisis-ridden Emperor’s Garden, she could walk safely entirely because of Yang Kai’s reason, so she did not dare to disturb him.
Soon, the two of them came to the front of a maze. Standing at the entrance of the maze, Yang Kai’s brows were tightly furrowed, thinking hard and recalling.
He had been to this place once before.
When he and Fei Zhitu and others came here that day, they had also lost their way inside, but overall it was still relatively smooth. At that time, there was Lian Guang’s puppet exploring the way ahead, which not only saved time and effort but also avoided many dangers.
Now that there is no puppet to rely on, Yang Kai can only rely on his own memory.
Fortunately, he can still barely remember the route he walked that day. Even if there are some unclear places, when he reaches a certain position, he should be able to recall some.
