Chapter 1759
byYang Kai recognized at a glance that the person wrapped in darkness was exactly one of the Void King Realm powerhouses he had paid attention to before！
This fellow also seemed to have taken notice of himself before entering the Lost Lands, and Ni Guang had also said that this person was very dangerous and it was best not to provoke him easily.
Yang Kai didn’t expect to encounter the other party here by chance, and moreover, the other party had used his means to trap his prey. The black curtain that wrapped around the Jing Kong Beast was obviously the other party’s secret treasure.
However, this secret treasure exuded an evil and violent aura everywhere. It was obvious at a glance that it was a kind of secret treasure that required sacrificing a large number of living beings to refine. From this, it could be seen that the owner of the secret treasure must not be a kind person either. I’m afraid countless people have died at his hands.
Yang Kai’s brows furrowed tightly.
The current situation in front of him was not a good thing for him. Although with the background he possessed, he wasn’t too afraid of this guy, the Jing Kong Beast was now within the coverage area of the other party’s secret treasure.
It was with great difficulty that he had severely injured the Startling Void Beast, but now it was going to be taken by someone else, which Yang Kai could not tolerate.
But if he rushed into that black curtain rashly to snatch the inner core of the Startling Void Beast, it might not be very appropriate either.
He was not afraid of the other party and had the confidence to escape from under the other party’s nose if they really started fighting, but that didn’t mean he could directly challenge the other party’s secret treasure. If he really rushed into that black curtain with hot blood, Yang Kai estimated that his end would not be much better than that of the Startling Void Beast.
What should he do？
How on earth could he ask for the inner core of the Startling Void Beast and not anger the other party at the same time? Yang Kai was struggling in his heart but never found a suitable answer.
“Hehehehe…” Just as Yang Kai’s thoughts were turning rapidly, the Void King Realm powerhouse wrapped in the black shadow let out a meaningful laugh again as if he was in a very good mood. Then, he said, “Youngster Yang, you are really lucky. There is a beauty traveling with you even in this kind of place. It really makes this old man envious.”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Kai’s expression couldn’t help changing.
As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he called out his surname. Obviously, he recognized him. But… Yang Kai simply couldn’t remember when he had had an intersection with such a Void King Realm powerhouse.
The number of Void King Realm powerhouses he had encountered was not too large. He had an impression of each of them, and there was no one who could match the one in front of him.
Yang Kai stared at the other party without batting an eye and probed, “Senior recognizes me？”
“Of course I recognize you. Hehe, what? You actually forgot me?” The Void King Realm expert said in a teasing tone.
Yang Kai looked at him. Since he didn’t sense any malicious intent from the other party, after a slight hesitation, he clasped his fists and said, “Forgive this junior for his clumsy eyes and failing to remember senior. Since senior recognizes this junior, how about showing your true face？”
“It’s only natural that you don’t recognize me. After all, my aura has changed a great deal compared to back then！” The other party didn’t seem the least bit impatient and slightly nodded, saying, “Take a closer look and see who I am exactly？”
As he spoke, the black qi that had been enveloping him dissipated rapidly like the ebbing tide.
The next moment, the other party’s appearance came into Yang Kai’s view.
“Huh？” Yang Kai was greatly shocked and stared at him blankly, exclaiming in surprise, “Ghost Ancestor senior, why is it you？”
After the black qi dissipated, he immediately recognized who the other party was.
This Void King Realm expert was actually the first Void King Realm he had encountered when he first entered the Star Field – the one who had been trapped in the Hanging Continent for two thousand years and claimed to be Ghost Ancestor！
Ghost Ancestor was accidentally swallowed by a void vortex back then and drifted to Hanging Continent, where he stayed for two thousand years. In these two thousand years, he advanced from the Saint King Realm to the Void King Realm, achieving a legend.
However… in the two thousand years of Hanging Continent, there was only him alone until Yang Kai and others also got into trouble there.
At that time, Ghost Ancestor had been researching the space array all the time Youdaoplaceholder0 to use the space array to teleport out of Hanging Continent. Unfortunately, he failed. In the end it was relying on Yang Kai’s attainments in spatial power that they escaped from there.
A total of seven people escaped together at that time. Besides Ghost Ancestor and Yang Kai, there were also Yue Xi and her three apprentices, a son of President Ao of Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce named Shen Tu, and another woman.
The past events are like smoke, but after all, it was the first important thing Yang Kai experienced after entering the Star Territory. How could he forget it？
Ghost Ancestor was even the first Void King Realm he met, and he had a fresh memory of Ghost Ancestor.
However, Yang Kai never expected to meet the other party in such a place.
Although Ghost Ancestor acted cruelly and had a violent personality, he was also clear about grudges and kindness. Back then, he received Yang Kai’s life-saving grace. After leaving Hanging Continent, he very faithfully let Yang Kai go and even gave him a Star Emperor Token as a thank-you gift！
If there was no such Star Emperor Token, Yang Kai would not have been able to kill Luo Hai on Chi Lan Star.
So after learning that the other party was actually the Ghost Ancestor, Yang Kai’s vigilance immediately relaxed. He grinned and smiled at the Ghost Ancestor, looking both surprised and happy.
“It’s really this old man！” The Ghost Ancestor was also in a good mood, constantly cackling strangely. He sized up Yang Kai, nodded slightly, and marveled with a click of his tongue： “But you brat are really amazing. In just this short period of time, you’ve actually cultivated to the Third-Order Void-Return Jing level！ This old man remembers that you were only at the Saint-Entering Jing level back then, right？”
“Two-Layer Saint-Entering Jing!” Yang Kai replied with a smile. “Ghost Ancestor ancestor has a great memory.”
The Ghost Ancestor nodded： “It seems that you’ve also had a lot of good fortune these years！ Otherwise, you wouldn’t have achieved such accomplishments.”
“Thanks to senior’s blessing.” Yang Kai answered. “How has senior been these years?”
How could it be? Just like this. Can’t compare with you young people, being affectionate and loving.” The Ghost Ancestor teased. As he spoke, he also took a look at Xue Yue who was sleeping behind Yang Kai, and there was a lot of meaning in his words.
Yang Kai smiled awkwardly： “This is an accident.”
After thinking for a while, Yang Kai suddenly said, “By the way, senior, has your great revenge been avenged?”
Ghost Ancestor had once said that after leaving the Hanging Continent, what he wanted to do was to take revenge. Before he drifted to the Hanging Continent, he seemed to have been framed by someone. The other party’s power was very great, and with his strength at that time, he was simply powerless. However, after promoting to the Void King Realm, he swore that he must avenge the previous humiliation.
Now that so many years have passed, I don’t know if his wish has been fulfilled.
Ghost Ancestor’s expression suddenly darkened, and he was silent for a long time before shaking his head and saying, “Old man’s enmity is not so easy to repay. What？ Do you want to help old man？”
“Senior is joking.” Yang Kai quickly waved his hand. “Kid’s strength is low, how can he help senior? Don’t hold senior back at that time and become a burden. Then it will be unforgivable.”
He didn’t dare to agree casually. Although he had a little friendship with Ghost Ancestor before, he naturally wouldn’t rush to get involved in this kind of thing.
“Hehe, just kidding, don’t be so serious.” Ghost Ancestor chuckled. “But you don’t have to belittle yourself either. You were able to seriously injure this Jingkong Beast. What your strength is like, old man still has a bit of an idea in his heart.”
Yang Kai touched his nose and didn’t pick up the conversation.
During the time when the two were talking, that Jingkong Beast had already been tortured to a horrible state. Countless ghost-like human faces pounced and bit on it, devouring its essence of flesh and blood, causing its body to continuously shrivel. But no matter how it charged, it still couldn’t get rid of the package of the black curtain, and all its resistance was in vain.
By this time, the Jingkong Beast’s shrill cries had gradually become inaudible, and the magnitude of its struggle was also getting smaller and smaller.
After a while, the Jingkong Beast finally stopped moving. Only those countless ghost-like human faces were howling and shuttling within the black curtain in the original place, looking extremely terrifying.
The Ghost Ancestor stretched out his hand and made a summoning motion. Immediately, that black curtain rotated round and round and turned into a black banner, flying back into his hand.
Seeing this black banner, Yang Kai suddenly realized！
This black banner-like secret treasure, he had also seen the Ghost Ancestor use it when he was in the Xuankong Continent. But at that time, how could this secret treasure have such power？ It can be seen that over the years, the Ghost Ancestor didn’t know what method he used to refine this secret treasure again, greatly enhancing its power.
The black banner flew back, and that earth-shattering black curtain also disappeared. Only the shriveled body of the Jingkong Beast was left in the original place. When the wind blew, the fur on the Jingkong Beast’s body actually turned into powder, revealing the bones inside.
And its bones also seemed to have become extremely fragile. Under the effect of external force, they one after another turned into dust.
In the pile of dust, only one round thing about the size of a fist and exuding an inexplicable luster was left.
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up, and he stared at that thing with burning eyes.
The Ghost Ancestor chuckled, stretched out his hand and pulled, then flicked. That thing then flew towards Yang Kai and said, “If you want it, just ask this old man. What’s there to be embarrassed about？”
Yang Kai couldn’t contain his joy. He took that thing in one go, placed it in the palm of his hand and examined it for a while. After confirming that this was the inner core of the Void Beast and it was intact without any leakage or loss of the energy contained in the inner core, he then smiled and said, “Thank you, senior！”
Originally it was yours！” The Ghost Ancestor didn’t care. “This old man also knows that you are proficient in the power of space. Naturally, this inner core will be left for you. With it, presumably your attainments in the power of space will go a step further？”
Yang Kai didn’t hide it either and nodded, saying, “Yes, the purpose of my coming in this time is the inner core of the Void Beast. Now I can be considered to have fulfilled my wish.”
You brat have great courage. You actually dare to enter this kind of ghost place.” The Ghost Ancestor looked at Yang Kai with some admiration. “Since you have fulfilled your wish, I wonder if you can help this old man fulfill his wish too？”
“What does senior need help with？ If this junior can do it, he will definitely not refuse.” Yang Kai carefully put away the Inner Core of the Jingkong Beast, and then looked at Ancestor Ghost with a solemn expression and said.
Although Ancestor Ghost didn’t seem like a good person, to be honest, the feeling he gave Yang Kai was not bad. Especially after this meeting, Ancestor Ghost seemed very approachable and amiable, so Yang Kai reciprocated the favor.
