Chapter 1669
byKang Feirao also saw that even without the help of that strange stone giant, he was definitely no match for Yang Kai. This young man simply wasn’t using his full strength！
How could there be such a powerful Void Return Stage cultivator in this world？ Kang Feirao had thought that at the Void Return Stage, he had reached the limit, but today, he realized he was wrong.
“Tell me what’s going on with that True Essence of the Sun?” Yang Kai’s voice came over. “Why did you say that you have to be grateful to me for your achievements today? I don’t remember doing anything for you guys.”
Kang Feirao took a look at him and didn’t answer immediately. It wasn’t until a destructive aura came from the Corpse Pearl that his expression changed, and he quickly said, “You did it inadvertently！ Maybe you don’t know about it.”
“Oh？” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows.
“Do you think that the True Essence of the Sun was just randomly placed there？ You’re wrong. The reason why the True Essence of the Sun exists there is just to use the True Fire of the Sun within the True Essence of the Sun to suppress a Yellow Spring Eye.”
“Yellow Spring Eye？” Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly.
Kang Feirao sneered and said: “That’s right, it’s a passage connected to the Yellow Spring Netherworld. Thick Yin Corpse Death Qi gushes out from there. This kind of Yin Corpse Death Qi is of no use to any living being, only harmful, but for our Corpse Spirit Race, it’s a great tonic! With that Yin Corpse Death Qi, our strength can grow to the limit of the Void Returning Mirror… Hmm, maybe not the limit!
Kang Feirao originally thought that he was definitely standing at the peak of the Void Returning Mirror, but after fighting with Yang Kai, he realized that he was far behind.
“There is actually such a thing under Burial Male Valley？” Yang Kai slightly furrowed his brows.
Kang Feirao laughed loudly and said, “Then what do you think is the reason for the formation of the Corpse Cave？ The ancestors of my Ancient Yang Sect had long discovered that Yellow Spring Eye, so they used the Genuine Essence of the Sun to suppress it. And the reason why we were able to become the noble Corpse Spirit Race is also because of the Corpse Qi in the Corpse Cave！ Before, we had no way to deal with the Yellow Spring Eye, but it’s different after you took away the Genuine Essence of the Sun. So you say, shouldn’t this Protector thank you！”
Yang Kai’s expression was ugly, and he said with a sullen face: “So, there is my reason for the change of Dark Star?
“Hahaha!” ” Kang Feirao looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. “That’s right, there is naturally your reason in this. You say… if the people on Dark Star know this news, will they hate you to the bone?
“I’ve always not been threatened. If you use this to blackmail me and want me to let you go, I can only say that you have the wrong idea.” Yang Kai sneered.
Kang Feirao’s expression changed several times, and finally he didn’t say anything more to irritate Yang Kai.
Now that his Corpse Pearl was in Yang Kai’s hands and his life and death were controlled, he naturally wouldn’t be so stupid.
“Who is your Sect Master？ Is he also one of those Corpse Generals I saw that day？” Yang Kai asked again.
Kang Feirao shook his head： “No！”
“Then who is it？”
“I don’t know.”
“Nonsense！” Yang Kai snorted coldly. The strength in his hand increased a lot, and the Corpse Pearl of Kang Feirao immediately made a clicking sound, as if it would be crushed at any time.
Kang Feirao’s body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and growled： “I really don’t know. The Sect Master is not a member of our Corpse Spirit Race at all. He suddenly came to the Corpse Cave one day, taught us some corpse cultivation methods, and told us how to transform our clansmen. If it weren’t for him, we would never have been able to leave the Corpse Cave. I’m afraid we are still cultivating and groping in the Corpse Cave. After all, the path we are taking has never been walked by anyone before.”
While Kang Feirao was speaking, Yang Kai had been probing his expression and found that there was no flaw. There are only two explanations for this situation. One is that Kang Feirao is not lying and he really doesn’t know the identity and origin of the Sect Master. The other is that Kang Feirao’s acting skills have reached the point of perfection and he can’t see the flaw.
Yang Kai felt that the former possibility was greater.
“Then what is his strength？” Yang Kai asked again.
Kang Feirao stammered a few times. Gritting his teeth, he said, “If I said I don’t know what his cultivation level is either, would you believe me？”
“What do you think？” Yang Kai looked at him coldly and sternly.
Kang Feirao sighed： “But I really don’t know what his cultivation level is！ He has never made a move.”
“Then how did he become the leader of the Corpse Spirit Sect？ Don’t tell me that just because he taught you some cultivation methods and ways to transform your clansmen, you were willing to be driven by him.”
“How could it be？” Kang Feirao curled his lip, a hint of anger emerging on his face. “The reason why several of us senior brothers submitted to him is because he has…”
Before Kang Feirao could finish speaking, his complexion changed drastically, as if something extremely terrifying had befallen him. His eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were filled with horror and his expression was extremely painful.
A strange power aura diffused out from his body.
Yang Kai’s complexion changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand and explosively retreated.
The next moment, Kang Feirao suddenly let out a tragic howl, extremely shrill. Immediately after that, a destructive aura burst out from his Corpse Pearl turning into a ball of green flame that burned Kang Feirao from the inside out.
Green flames spurted out from Kang Feirao’s mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, looking extremely terrifying.
In less than ten breaths before and after, this powerful top-level corpse general-level corpse spirit race who had fought against Ye Xiyun was burned clean by the green flame, leaving only a pile of black substances on the spot.
Yang Kai witnessed this scene from beginning to end, and a sense of coldness couldn’t help but rise in his heart.
What exactly happened to Kang Feirao, he didn’t know, but he guessed that it was related to the mysterious leader of the Corpse Spirit Sect. Perhaps the leader had placed some powerful restriction on Kang Feirao. Once Kang Feirao attempted to reveal some key information, the restriction would immediately erupt, detonating his corpse bead and generating corpse fire, causing Kang Feirao to burn himself to death！
Although it was only a guess, Yang Kai felt that it was very likely！
What a cruel method! What a cruel and scheming!
However, what kind of sensitive information was Kang Feirao going to reveal that actually triggered the restriction in his body.
Yang Kai recalled the sentence he said before he died. Although the other party didn’t finish speaking, based on those few words, Yang Kai could also infer some things.
That mysterious leader might have some secret treasure in his hand that could control the corpse spirit race！
This was the most likely speculation.
Kang Feirao was already dead and could never be resurrected. Yang Kai couldn’t help but give birth to some dread in his heart towards that mysterious leader.
Being able to place such a restriction on his own subordinates, this leader seemingly wasn’t an easy character to deal with.
As for what Kang Feirao said that the change of You’an Star had something to do with himself, Yang Kai didn’t deny it. Perhaps it was really because he took away the True Essence of the Sun that suppressed the Eye of the Netherworld, so the strength of the Corpse Spirit Race had greatly increased. But the most crucial reason was still because the mysterious leader taught the methods of Corpse Cultivation and the way to transform Corpse Spirits！
If there was no way to transform Corpse Spirits, the Corpse Spirit Sect would definitely not be able to grow stronger.
So Yang Kai just turned a few thoughts in his mind and then didn’t think much about this issue anymore.
Looking up, the pitch-black Void King Grade battleship was wantonly crushing among the army of the Corpse Spirit Sect. Each blast of the crystal cannon could take away the lives of dozens of Corpse Spirit Race or the enemies who had defected to the Corpse Spirit Sect.
In the short time that he fought with Kang Feirao, the outside of the Flowing Flame Sand Field was already full of dead bodies and wreckage.
With a long whistle, Yang Kai flew into the sky. His figure flickered, and the power of space wrapped around his body, then he returned to the battleship again.
“Return to the sect！” he shouted loudly.
After the battleship’s such a clearance, the number of people from the Corpse Spirit Sect besieging the Lingxiao Sect had been reduced by half. Even the white-robed Corpse General Kang Feirao who was sitting here had been killed by Yang Kai. The remaining ones fled in all directions, and there would be not much result if he continued to kill.
It was more important to return to the sect first.
The people from Tongxuan Continent need to be resettled. After all, they have been staying in the Mysterious Realm Pearl for several years. Letting them get in touch with this world earlier and familiarize themselves with the laws of heaven and earth here earlier will also be beneficial to them.
Moreover, Yang Kai also really wants to know what the current situation of Lingxiao Sect is like. It is rumored that Lingxiao Sect has suffered not small losses in the past two years and the Great Elder Ye Xiyun was even seriously injured. I don’t know if she has recovered now.
The Three-Flame Fire Ring in the Flowing Flame Sand Field has an extremely overbearing power. Even an ordinary Void King-class warship would be burned to ashes if it wanted to sail in.
However, the warship of Lingxiao Sect was refined by Yang Yan herself, and naturally had Yang Yan’s aura branded on it. The Three-Flame Fire Ring did not reject the warship and easily broke into the flame barrier.
It was not until the huge figure of the warship disappeared that those members of the Corpse Spirit Sect who were being chased and fled in all directions heaved a sigh of relief, and everyone’s face was filled with lingering fear.
Under the powerful force of the warship, they didn’t even have the thought of resistance and could only be massacred one-sidedly！
Now that the warship has left, of course they feel relieved.
Without receiving the order to leave, no one dared to leave without permission. So in a short while, the people of the Corpse Spirit Sect gathered together again from all directions, ready to wait for Kang Feirao’s instructions！
They didn’t know that Kang Feirao had already fallen.
It was not until an hour later when Kang Feirao still did not show up. Suspecting something was amiss, they went to the palace to investigate and only then did they find out that this white-robed Corpse General had actually died.
Countless people were in an uproar.
One of the four protectors of the Corpse Spirit Sect had been killed, and the Void King-class warship of the Lingxiao Sect had returned. All of this seemed to be foretold something.
The mountain gate of the Lingxiao Sect was located in the fourth layer area of the Flowing Flame Sand Field.
However, after Yang Yan took back the first Three-flame Fire Ring that day, there were no longer six layers in the Flowing Flame Sand Field, only four layers remained. So strictly speaking, the Lingxiao Sect was on the second layer. There was a layer of the Three-flame Fire Ring outside and a layer of the Three-flame Fire Ring inside. Further in was the attic where Yang Yan was sleeping.
Passing through the flame barrier, Yang Kai swept his gaze over the familiar scenery all around, and his mood could not help but be a little excited.
Although the Tongxuan Continent was his homeland, ever since he came to the Star Field, he had lived on the Dark Star for the longest time, and the Lingxiao Sect was also located here. So he still had a very strong sense of intimacy with this place.
After all, this was a sect he had founded single-handedly, a place where the Lingxiao Pavilion of his master’s school had flourished. This kind of emotion of creating and supporting with one’s own hands could not be replaced by anything.
