Chapter 1853

After dealing with the matters in the Little Mysterious Realm, Yang Kai’s divine soul returned to his body and he slowly opened his eyes.

Glancing faintly at Zi Wuji who was standing aside, Yang Kai said, “Second Young Master, have a seat.”

Although he was dealing with matters in the Small Mysterious Realm just now, he still noticed Zi Wuji’s arrival, so he was not surprised at all.

Seeing his amiable expression, Zi Wuji’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, “In front of the adult, Wuji can just stand and talk.”

Yang Kai squinted his eyes looked at him and said unhurriedly, “After all, Young Master Wuji is the second son of Purple Star, with a different status and position. It may not be appropriate to stand and talk.”

Only then did Zi Wuji clasp his fists and say neither humbly nor arrogantly, “Since this is the case, then please forgive Wuji for being presumptuous.”

As he spoke, he sat down opposite Yang Kai and took the initiative to pick up the teapot and pour a cup for Yang Kai, looking extremely attentive.

Yang Kai smiled slightly and said, “This seat must first thank the second son for secretly resolving the siege before.”

Zi Wuji was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized what Yang Kai was referring to. He said hurriedly, The Venerable is too serious. Jiang Chao is just a clown. he truly deserves to die ten thousand deaths Although Wuji instructed Deputy Commander Qu to detain him but helplessly, the Great Elder has great power, and this person was finally taken out by them, and in the end, he did not receive any punishment.”

Yang Kai chuckled and said, The second son also said that Jiang Chao is just a clown. How could this seat bother to argue with him?

Zi Wuji immediately clasped his hands and said, “The Venerable is broad-minded, and Wuji admires it.”

Yang Kai waved his hand. “Let’s cut to the chase. Second Young Master had Li Nuo make these secret arrangements. What do you want to see me for？”

Zi Wuji’s expression turned serious as he said, “Wuji heard that our Purple Star has produced a third Venerable. You are extremely powerful. This is a blessing for our Purple Star. I deeply admire you…”

Get to the point！

Zi Wuji’s voice stopped abruptly. After a long silence, he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply. “Wuji begs Venerable to help me take control of Purple Star！”

His expression was firm and his voice was sonorous and forceful. But after saying these words, beads of sweat as big as beans oozed out on his forehead. Obviously, he was extremely nervous and had struggled a lot in his heart.”

After speaking, he didn’t get any response. Zi Wuji quietly raised his head to look and saw Yang Kai looking at him with a smile. That smile was full of profound meaning. Although the other party’s gaze didn’t have the slightest oppressive force, it was like a sharp sword that could penetrate everything and peek into the depths of his heart.”

Zi Wuji’s heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he had the illusion that all his secrets had been seen through. He gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice. “Venerable, please help Wuji！”

How dare you！” Yang Kai slapped the table, and his tone was extremely cold.”

Zi Wuji trembled all over and looked at Yang Kai in astonishment.”

Yang Kai sneered. “Second Young Master, I never expected you to be so traitorous！ Since you know that this seat is Venerable Purple Star. You should know that a Venerable is second only to one person and above ten thousand others. In some cases, a Venerable represents the master of Purple Star. In front of this seat, you actually dare to say such things. Are you trying to overthrow your father’s rule and force this seat to take action against you？”

Zi Wuji said, “Venerable, please calm your anger. As the second son of Purple Star, Wuji still understands these rules. However…”

“However what？” Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and looked at him, enveloping him with his own Domain. There was a great posture that if he dared to say similar words again, he would start a massacre.”

The sweat on Zi Wuji’s forehead fell like raindrops, and for the first time, he felt the breath of death. Under the oppression of Yang Kai’s Domain, he almost lost the ability to think and knelt on the ground.”

At a critical moment, he actually bit the tip of his tongue. Making his mind clear for a moment, he said in a deep voice, “If it were an ordinary time, Wuji would definitely not dare to have these wild thoughts. Purple Star has been controlled by my Zi family for generations, and my father, Zi Long, is one of the hegemons who rules the world. He is the person Wuji respects and worships the most. How could Wuji dare to disrespect him？ However… Father has already fallen, and my eldest brother is missing without a trace. Purple Star cannot be without a leader. At this time, if Wuji doesn’t stand up, who else can stand up？”

“What did you just say？” Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed, and he stared closely at Zi Wuji, and in his heart, there was really a hint of killing intent.”

He never expected that Zi Wuji would actually know that Zi Long had fallen.

Although he didn’t know exactly how he found out, judging from the other party’s expression and tone of voice, it wasn’t speculation, but he had full confidence.

But apart from Yang Kai and Ghost Ancestor, no one else knew about this matter. How did Zi Wuji know？ Yang Kai couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Zi Wuji seemed to have calmed down a lot, and his speech was also clear. He actually looked directly into Yang Kai’s eyes without fear and said, “Honored One, there is no need to deceive Wuji. Wuji learned of this matter a few days after his father fell.”

After speaking, he laughed sarcastically again and said, “The Honored One must be wondering how Wuji found out. It’s actually very simple. My father had a Yuan Life Lamp. As long as the person is alive, the lamp is on. When the person dies, the lamp goes out. The existence of this lamp is known only to one person in the world, and that is Wuji’s mother！ Even my eldest brother, Zi Donglai, doesn’t know the existence of this Yuan Life Lamp.”

“Yuan Life Lamp？” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows. Although he had never heard of this thing, he also knew that it was probably the same as the Ice Soul Pearl that Su Yan had refined before. As long as the person was alive, the pearl was there. When the person died, the pearl shattered.

“That’s right.” Zi Wuji nodded seriously. “Although my father had many wives and concubines, the one he loved the most was still Wuji’s mother. So this Yuan Life Lamp was always kept by her. After the Yuan Life Lamp broke, my mother told Wuji about this matter.”

“Since Purple Dragon cared so much about your mother, why didn’t he cultivate you as his successor？” Yang Kai sneered.

Zi Wuji smiled bitterly and said, “Honored One has not been on Purple Star for long and probably doesn’t know the situation well. Purple Star takes my father as the leader, but under my father, the Great Elder is the most powerful person, and my eldest brother’s mother happens to be the daughter of the Great Elder…”

“Hmm, I somewhat understand.” Yang Kai nodded slightly. In the end, it was still a compromise by Purple Dragon. No wonder a guy with such a bad character like Zi Donglai could become the Young Master of Purple Star. Yang Kai had previously thought it was because Purple Dragon doted on him too much, but it turned out there were other reasons.”

“Honored One doesn’t seem surprised at all by the news that my father has fallen. It seems you already knew about this, right？” Zi Wuji looked at Yang Kai and said softly.

“How can you tell？” Yang Kai asked rhetorically.

“Hehe, when Father went out with Big Brother before, it was to that legendary Lost Land… There are extremely dangerous and numerous crises there. Even Father didn’t have the confidence to come back unscathed. Father should have fallen there… And you, Venerable, suddenly appeared in Purple Star City some time after that. Wuji had never heard of your existence before. Wuji guesses that you should have met Father in the Lost Land and become the third Venerable of our Purple Star in the Lost Land. Perhaps when Father fell, you were also present, so today you are not surprised at all.”

“The analysis is reasonable！” Yang Kai nodded in approval. The next moment, his expression suddenly turned cold, and killing intent burst out from his eyes and brows. “But if I killed Purple Dragon, this situation could also occur today. Didn’t Young Master Wuji think of this level？”

Purple Wuji’s expression changed, but he wasn’t too flustered. Instead, he said calmly： “Wuji naturally thought of it, but this should be impossible. It’s not that Wuji doubts the strength of Venerable. Since Venerable can get Father’s recognition and be given the order by Father, naturally, your means are extraordinary and your strength is powerful. But for a figure like Father, if Venerable wants to kill him, I’m afraid you won’t be able to come back unscathed either？ So Father’s death should have nothing to do with Venerable.”

Purple Wuji’s speculation is not a problem. It’s just that he seriously underestimated Yang Kai’s strength, and the situation at that time was not that Yang Kai was fighting Purple Dragon alone. There were also Ghost Ancestor and the Dharma Body attacking together.”

“Besides, there is another more important reason – that is my eldest brother is still alive. If my father was really killed by Venerable, my eldest brother would surely not have survived.”

“Does your eldest brother also have a Yuan Life Lamp？” Yang Kai asked in surprise.

“Naturally there is.” Zi Wuji nodded.

Yang Kai felt an inexplicable sense of relief. Fortunately, Zi Donglai’s soul was not extinguished. Otherwise, if he came to Purple Star this time, he might have walked right into a trap.

Thinking of this, Yang Kai’s eyes gradually became kinder, and he sighed with emotion： “Young Master Wuji, you are very smart！ If I were Zi Long, I would definitely cultivate you as my successor！”

Zi Wuji’s face lit up with joy, and he said modestly： “Venerable has praised me too highly. Wuji is just struggling to survive.”

Yang Kai sighed and said: “You’re right. Zi Long indeed fell in the Lost Land. I also met Zi Long there and had a life-and-death experience with him. He invited me to join Purple Star, and this seat agreed. But who would have thought that there would be a divine bird, the Seven Luminaries Peacock, in that damned place. That beast can only be resisted by a Void King Realm Layer 3 powerhouse. Your father was caught off guard and was enveloped by the Seven Luminaries Divine Light and thus fell. This seat deeply regrets it.

Hearing Yang Kai’s words, Zi Wuji immediately burst into tears, extremely sad, with tears rolling down like pearls with a broken string…

Yang Kai watched him coldly, with great admiration in his heart.

This Zi Wuji is definitely a talent. Although he is crying loudly and looks extremely miserable, precisely because of this, it seems a bit artificial.

After all, he didn’t just learn the news of his father’s fall, but had long since spied it through the extinguishing of the Yuan Life Lamp. Now putting on such a show in front of Yang Kai, there is somewhat an element of acting. Moreover, Yang Kai is not sure whether he really believes the fabricated story he just told.

However, whether he believes it or not, Yang Kai can only take one step at a time for now.

After crying for a long time, Zi Wuji finally restrained his voice, wiped away his tears, and said in a trembling voice, “I made the venerable laugh.”

“It’s human nature. Second Young Master, please mourn！” Yang Kai patiently comforted.

“Venerable One, Wuji still has one thing that he doesn’t understand and hopes the Venerable will not hesitate to instruct. seemingly with the meaning of turning grief into strength.

“Speak.” Yang Kai said lightly.

“My eldest brother… where is he now？” Zi Wuji asked in a low voice.
