Chapter 1735
by“Someone wants to go with me？ Who？” Yang Kai furrowed his brows. He hadn’t heard any news about this beforehand.
Gu Jianxin looked to the side. Yang Kai followed his gaze and saw three familiar faces.
“Young Master Yang！” Yue Xi walked over slowly and stopped not far away.
“Brother Yang.” He Zao and He Miao also called out crisply.
Yang Kai looked at Gu Jianxin, and the latter shrugged his shoulders and smiled, saying, “I have expelled them from the Sword League. As the Young League Master, I still have this much power.”
Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly.
“Then I asked them what their plans were for the future. They said they wanted to follow you. I just don’t know if you are willing to take them in.” Gu Jianxin added with a smile.
“Brother Gu’s kindness is much appreciated by Yang Kai said seriously.
With his shrewdness, how could he not see that Gu Jianxin was helping him？ After all, he was alone on Green Wood Star. Although his strength was formidable, there were still some things that were inconvenient for him to handle personally, and he didn’t have any capable people to assist him.
But if Yue Xi and her two apprentices followed him, the situation would be different. Some miscellaneous and trivial matters could be handed over to them to handle, and for things that he was not convenient to come out for, they could also do on his behalf.
It also avoided the embarrassing situation that Yue Xi and her apprentices might encounter in the Sword League in the future. As Yang Kai had said before, after the incident with Qin Qiyang, it was difficult for Yue Xi and her apprentices to gain a foothold in the Sword League. No matter where they went, they would be burdened with the charge of being ungrateful and would be inevitably be pointed at and gossiped about by others.
Now that they had been expelled from the Sword League, naturally such a thing would no longer happen.
Gu Jianxin had considered things comprehensively. It could also be said that he was trying hard to leave a good impression in Yang Kai’s heart, so he would bring about this matter.
Naturally, Yang Kai had no reason to reject his good intentions.
He looked up at Yue Xi and her apprentices and asked seriously, “You are willing to follow me？”
“As long as the prince is willing to take us in, Yue Xi is willing to serve him!” Yue Xi quickly replied.
“We are also willing！” The two sisters said in unison.
“That’s good. From now on, you will follow me.” Yang Kai nodded.
“Thank you, young master!” Yue Xi curtsied gracefully, and her face was filled with joy.
“Little brother…” Luo Lan had been standing by the side. Only at this time did she interject and said, As for those Void Crystals you need, this I can’t gather too many for the time being but this I will try her best to collect them. How about I send someone to deliver them to you after a while?
“Then I’ll have to trouble senior.”
Previously, after Yang Kai selected Twin Shark Island as his territory, he put forward a request to Gu Jianxin and Luo Lan to acquire a large number of Void Crystals. However, this thing was really scarce, and Luo Lan couldn’t find too many for a while. But with her promise, sooner or later, Yang Kai could still get some.
Subsequently, Yang Kai brought Yue Xi and her two apprentices, sacrificed the Star Shuttle, and left Azure Wood Palace.
Gu Jianxin and the others watched Yang Kai go away in the same place before they returned.
Even if using the spatial on Azure Wood Star, it would still take half a month to get to Twin Shark Island.
Fortunately, Yang Kai had the token given by Luo Lan. With this token, the spatial of each major city was open to Yang Kai without exception.
According to the route Luo Lan set for him, Yang Kai continuously used spatial arrays. Finally, in less than half a month, he arrived at Twin Shark Island.
Although Double Shark Island is located in a remote place, there is also a spatial array connected to the outside world. When the figures of Yang Kai and the others appeared in the array the leader of the warriors responsible for guarding here immediately stepped forward, looked them up and down, and then asked in a routine manner: “What is your business on Double Shark Island?”
Yang Kai took a look at him and found that this person was just a warrior at the Third-Order Saint King Realm. The strengths of the remaining warriors responsible for guarding here were not high either.
From the standards of these warriors, it can be inferred that the overall strength of the entire Double Shark Island should not be strong.
He didn’t answer, but took out the token given by Luo Lan and shook it in front of that warrior.
“What is this？” That warrior widened his eyes and had a blank expression on his face.
“Don’t you recognize it？” Yang Kai frowned. “Well, if you don’t recognize it, forget it. What’s the name of your island master and where is he？ Take me to see him.”
That warrior was shocked by Yang Kai’s series of questioning and overbearing attitude. Although he didn’t recognize what the token Youdaoplaceholder0, he vaguely guessed that Yang Kai seemed to have some considerable background.
He immediately converges the previous casualness and replied suspiciously: The island master of our island is Zhu Liang. May I ask where you friends come from and do you know the island master? ”
Yang Kai didn’t answer, but Yue Xi snorted coldly： “How dare you ask about my young master’s identity？ Hurry up and lead the way！”
As she spoke, she casually released her own potential field. The martial artist’s complexion changed drastically immediately, realizing that this one man and three women were not something he could contend with at all. He quickly made a respectful gesture of invitation and led the way ahead.
This was the benefit of having subordinates. Yue Xi could put on an overbearing attitude to raise Yang Kai’s identity and status and avoid some complicated inquiries.
Yang Kai gave Yue Xi an approving look, and the latter pursed her lips and smiled.
The strength of Zhu Liang, the island owner of Double Shark Island, was not high. He only had the cultivation base of the First-Order Void Returning Realm. On such an isolated island overseas, it was very difficult for some powerful martial artists to appear.
After Yang Kai showed that token and Luo Lan’s written order, Zhu Liang immediately knelt down and acknowledged Yang Kai as his master.
Taking over Double Shark Island so smoothly made Yang Kai very satisfied.
“Well, you will still be the island owner in the future. Manage Double Shark Island as you did before, and I won’t interfere. If there is anything that needs to be reported, just tell Madam Yue, and she will convey it to me.”
“Yes！” It seemed that Zhu Liang gradually became less nervous after realizing that Yang Kai was easy to talk to.
“Island Owner Zhu…”
“This subordinate is here.” Zhu Liang quickly responded. “I really dare not be called Island Master. Sir can just call me by my name directly in the future.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly： “Tell me about the situation of this Double Shark Island.”
“Yes.” Zhu Liang pondered for a while, as if organizing his words. After a short while, he said： “Double Shark Island covers an area of about 100,000 square miles. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the island is not bad, but the materials produced are a bit lacking. Currently, there are about 200,000 permanent residents on the island, and their cultivation levels are generally not high. This subordinate is not talented. Although I only have the Void Return 1-layer realm, I can still be regarded as the strongest person on Double Shark Island. Besides this subordinate, there are three other Void Return 1-layer realm cultivators, who are the deputy island masters and elders on the island. This subordinate has set up an Elder Council and jointly manages Double Shark Island with several elders…”
“Fifty thousand miles to the east of Double Shark Island, there is a city by the sea. The spatial of our Double Shark Island is connected to that city. And dozens to millions of miles to the west and south, there are several other islands. The situation is roughly similar to that of Double Shark Island. The relationship between the several islands is fairly peaceful, and there are occasional exchanges. The greatest danger here is the sea beasts. Every time the sea beasts wreak havoc, many people will die. However, with sir sitting here, I think Double Shark Island will be much more peaceful and safe in the future!
While introducing, Zhu Liang also unobtrusively flattered Yang Kai.
Yang Kai’s expression was calm and he didn’t express his opinion.
Zhu Liang continued, “The largest output of Double Shark Island and the nearby islands are the inner cores of sea beasts. Every year, many foreign martial artists come to Double Shark Island to hunt sea beasts at sea…”
After half an hour of questioning, Yang Kai had a slight understanding of the situation of Double Shark Island.
Overall, he was quite satisfied with this place and it was very suitable for his next plan.
However, he still had to choose a place here before the plan could be implemented.
Yang Kai decided to go and investigate in person.
After asking Zhu Liang to leave, Yang Kai greeted Yue Xi and her two disciples, and then alone controlled the Star Shuttle to start investigating the terrain of Double Shark Island.
This investigation took him eight days and he traveled all over the entire Double Shark Island.
Finally, Yang Kai targeted an area in the southeast. This place was close to the sea and had a good view. The most important thing was that there was a large open space and there were few traces of martial artists coming and going.
Yang Kai found Zhu Liang again and asked him to recruit some martial artists from Double Shark Island to build a palace for himself in that place.
Naturally, he wouldn’t let others work for nothing, but would pay Saint Crystals as a reward.
How could Zhu Liang not agree to such a good thing？ Even if Yang Kai didn’t pay Saint Crystals, he would still handle it properly for Yang Kai, not to mention that Yang Kai was so reasonable？
There were two hundred thousand people on Double Shark Island. With a single order from Zhu Liang, one thousand people were easily conscripted, and they began to build in a big way on the piece of land that Yang Kai had chosen.
When the martial artists got to work, the speed was naturally extremely fast. In just half a month, a magnificent palace with an area of more than ten miles in radius was completed.
Zhu Liang even paid out of his own pocket to add some furniture and decorations to the palace.
It was not until this time that Yang Kai brought Yue Xi and the other three to move in.
The palace was very large, and it seemed extremely quiet with only four people living in it.
Yue Xi and her master and apprentice did not know what Yang Kai had built such a huge palace here for, and they did not dare to ask. They just obediently followed Yang Kai around and served him wholeheartedly.
That night, Yang Kai called them to his room.
“Why did the young master call us here?” Yue Xi askedfeel uncertain.
“It’s nothing serious. Sit down.” Yang Kai gestured with his hand.
After they were seated, he then said, “Since you have chosen to follow me in the future, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. Let me put it this way, I have a sect called Lingxiao Sect, and I am the sect master. The main helm is on a very distant cultivation star. Would you like to join Lingxiao Sect？”
The master and apprentice trio looked at each other, and then looked at Yang Kai. Almost without thinking, they nodded in unison and said, “Naturally, we are willing.”
“Well. Then… from now on, you are also members of Lingxiao Sect.” Yang Kai smiled and said, “The main sect is far away, and it may not be possible for you to go there for a while. But don’t worry, one day, I will take you to have a look. Lingxiao Sect… will not be too weak in the future.”
