Chapter 2223
by“Hehe…” Yang Kai grudgingly stood up holding the Soul Slashing Knife and pointing it at the woman from a distance. The corner of his mouth turned up, Youdaoplaceholder0 a subtle arc, and said: “To be praised by motherin-law like this, the brat is really extremely honored!”
The woman’s complexion changed slightly, and she said coldly： “What did you say?”
Yang Kai shook his head and swayed his brain, with a sarcastic expression on his face, and said, “At this time, do you still want to play dumb？ Do you have to let this junior point out your identity… Granny You！”
As soon as the three words Granny You were slowly spoken, the woman’s expression suddenly became as cold as frost.
Yang Kai continued, “Originally, this junior was also a littlefeel uncertain. I didn’t know where I had seen your old man. I always felt that your appearance was a little familiar, but no matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t figure it out…”
“When did you remember？” The woman didn’t seem to mean to deny Yang Kai’s guess, but asked with great interest. The soul-devouring insects gathered around her external protection were also ignored by her.
“It’s just a matter of connecting the front and the back.” Yang Kai grinned and said, “There are so many people imprisoned in the dungeon. Why do you only see the warriors of the Qingyang Temple？ Obviously, there is some special reason. Either you know all these people, or there is something different about these people from the local warriors. Everyone is a soul gathering body, and naturally there is not much difference. In other words, the reason why you only see them is because you know them and want to find something from them… Well, as for what to find, it is probably to find the Warm Soul Lotus.”
“Just now you also said the name of Hall Master Wen and put on a look of hatred for him that is incompatible with the sky. The hideous face at that moment…” Yang Kai smiled slightly, “It makes people have to associate a lot.”
It was precisely because he heard the other party shout out Wen Zishan’s name in a daze that he suddenly understood.
The woman in front of him was actually that Granny You who guarded the Divine Wanderer Mirror. That was why he felt a bit familiar when he saw her for the first time Since Granny You had been guarding the Divine Wanderer Mirror all year round she could naturally come and go freely within it.
However, Granny You was old and decrepit, while the woman in front of him was as beautiful as a flower. Yang Kai initially didn’t associate the two together.
“So you recognized this palace？”
Yang Kai sneered and said, “An old woman comes here to transform into the appearance of a peerless beauty, and you still have the nerve to call yourself this palace？”
Granny You couldn’t stop sneering: “Do you want to anger me?” If so, then your means are too naive.
Seeing that his evil plan was seen through, Yang Kai couldn’t help but pout.
Yang Kai knew very well that facing a strong person like Granny You, if it was outside, he might still have a glimmer of hope of survival. But in this Divine Wanderer World, Granny You’s strength would be maximally enhanced, and he had no hope of winning or even escaping at all. He could only hope that the other party would make a mistake in a fit of rage. That was why he was so sharp-tongued. Who would have known that he would be seen through by the other party at a glance.
“The kid still has a bit of brains.” Granny You, however, nodded slightly at Yang Kai and praised him highly. “If I’m not wrong, you used these Soul Devouring Insects to break the ban in your body, right?
“So what if I did？” Yang Kai’s attitude suddenly became arrogant. He pointed the Soul Severing Blade at You Po and said, “You’d better be sensible, old woman. Since you recognize these as Soul Devouring Insects, you naturally know their power. Let me out obediently. Otherwise, with a single order from me, I’ll definitely make them devour you until there’s not even a bone left！”
He spoke as if he could really kill You Po here.
Hmph, if they grew for another few decades or even a hundred years, perhaps this I would still fear them a little, but with just your Soul Devouring Insects? You Po sneered in disdain. With a tremble of her delicate body, she sent the Soul Devouring Insects surrounding her flying.
Many Soul Devouring Insects were left dazed and flew around like headless flies. However, they quickly recovered and once again surrounded You Po.
“Since we’ve talked things through to this point, then this I will speak frankly with you.” You Po ignored the Soul Devouring Insects outside her body and said to Yang Kai, “You obediently erase the mark on the Warm God Lotus and hand this treasure over to this me. This I will definitely not treat you unfairly.
“Why should I?” Yang Kai shouted angrily.
“What do you think？” You Po couldn’t stop sneering.
Yang Kai looked helpless. After dawdling for a while, he said, “Let’s not mention this issue for now. Before that, I want to ask something.”
“What？”
“Why do you know that I have the Warmth God Lotus on me？ I have hidden this thing very deeply and no one has ever known about it.”
Elder You frowned and said, “It doesn’t matter if I tell you. I have guarded the Divine Wander Mirror for more than two thousand years. Although I can’t make this strange treasure recognize its master, I have also done some research on it. When your soul spiritual bodies passed through the Divine Wander Mirror and entered this place, I could spy on some of the situations in your bodies. It was at that time that I caught a glimpse and discovered something…”
“But you weren’t sure, right？ So you didn’t know if you saw it wrong, and you didn’t know who the Warmth God Lotus was on. And you also knew that after we entered the Divine Wander Mirror, we would go to the Heavenly Monster Mountain to experience, so you ordered Zhou Dian to lead people to the Heavenly Monster Mountain to arrest the so-called disaster star！ After capturing us and bringing us back, check them one by one…” Yang Kai continued to speculate.
“That’s right！ But I thought that the Warmth God Lotus was on Xia Sheng’s body. At worst, it was on Xiao Baiyi’s body. But I didn’t expect that it was on you, who has the lowest strength. It really surprised me.”
Yang Kai nodded, indicating that he understood.
He finally understood why there were so many people imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, but only Xia Sheng and the others and himself were brought out, and what Elder You meant by the “last person” before.
She checked Xia Sheng and the others and didn’t find it. When it was his turn, of course he was the last person.
“There is another question.” Yang Kai suddenly said.
“Kid, you’d better not push your luck！” Granny You’s expression suddenly turned cold.
Yang Kai chuckled： “Granny, if you don’t want to see me use Soul Burial on the Warm God Lotus, it’s best not to talk to me like this. Moreover… being old, don’t get angry easily, it hurts your body！”
He had an extremely concerned look, which made Granny You furious but helpless.
Youdaoplaceholder0 at Yang Kai for a while Granny You then said, “Kid, you’d better understand your situation.”
“I understand very well！” Yang Kai gritted his teeth. “I hope Granny will also cooperate. Otherwise, if I really use Soul Burial, anyway, there will be no good end after falling into your hands. It’s better for everyone to just part ways！”
He mentioned Soul Burial one after another, and Granny You really didn’t dare to be rough with him.
The Warm God Lotus is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth. Over the countless years, it will occasionally appear for a short time and be obtained by someone with great good fortune.
And if the owner who gets the Warm God Lotus dies, the Warm God Lotus will not disappear with it. Instead, it will absorb all the soul energy of the previous owner and remain between heaven and earth, waiting for the next predestined person.
When Yang Kai obtained the Warm God Lotus back then, it was only in a three-color form. At that time, it had preserved the soul energy of the previous owner, allowing Yang Kai to obtain great benefits.
Although the Warm God Lotus will not disappear with the death of its owner, if the special means of Soul Burial is used, using the warrior’s own soul essence to self-detonate as power, it can be wiped out between heaven and earth.
Granny You’s strength exceeded Yang Kai’s by so much. Even though Yang Kai had the Soul Slashing Blade in his hand and the Soul Devouring Insect to assist him, if Granny You really had the intention to attack Yang Kai, how could he possibly avoid it？
The reason she didn’t act rashly was because she had scruples. What she was scrupulous about was precisely that Yang Kai, in desperation, would fight her to the death and use Soul Burial on the Warm God Lotus.
Previously, Yang Kai’s strength had been imprisoned and his soul had been assaulted by her means. Yang Kai had no power to resist and could only allow her to do as she pleased. But now that Yang Kai had regained his freedom, he completely had the opportunity to perform this means of Soul Burial.
Granny You stared deeply at Yang Kai. It was only after a long while that she closed her eyes. When she opened them again, it was already calm.
“This is the last question. Young man, you should know when to stop.”
“Of course!” Yang Kai grinned. “Since Granny is cooperating with me, I naturally won’t do anything either.
“That’s the best！” Granny You nodded.
Yang Kai’s expression suddenly became solemn. He said in a deep voice, “Granny, what do you want this Warm God Lotus for?”
Upon hearing this, Granny You’s brows furrowed and her face was as cold as frost. She fell silent.
Yang Kai said, “Surely it’s not just to nourish your own soul. Because you said something before, it seems that if you get this Warmth God Lotus, you can do something unfavorable to Hall Master Wen. Alright, let me ask in another way…” At this moment, Yang Kai’s eyes became extremely sharp, staring straight into Granny You’s eyes without moving for a moment: “What is that so-called Mirror Soul…？ Why does it need the Warmth God Lotus to carry？”
As soon as these words came out, a fierce look immediately appeared on Granny You’s beautiful face, and a hint of killing intent faintly spread out.
Granny, we had an agreement. You’re not keeping your word. If you do this, I’ll go back on my word too. You can’t blame me for being unjust if you’re unkind. Don’t cry when I soul-bury the Warmth God Lotus！” Seeing that she didn’t answer for a long time, Yang Kai quickly urged.
Granny You laughed out of extreme anger： “Do you really dare to soul-bury it？ If you really dare, then give it a try. I’ll wait and see！”
She suddenly put on a posture of watching a good show. Yang Kai couldn’t help but touch his nose and said in a lofty tone： “Anyway, don’t force me, Granny. If you push me too hard, I’ll soul-bury it！”
Hmph！ Yellow-haired brat！” Granny You was in a bad mood and cursed angrily.
For a powerhouse like her to be threatened by Yang Kai, her mood naturally couldn’t be any better.
After a long silence, she gritted her teeth and said, “Kid, you should know that between heaven and earth, there are some secret treasures that, by coincidence and over time, have given birth to their own wills. These special wills are called weapon spirits！”
As soon as Yang Kai heard that she was going to explain, he immediately perked up and listened intently, nodding and saying, “This I naturally know.”
Liu Yan is a weapon spirit, so Yang Kai naturally has a deep understanding in this regard.
“Secret treasures with weapon spirits often possess great power and are much stronger than those without weapon spirits. However, there are countless secret treasures in the world, but there are not many that can give birth to weapon spirits. Weapon spirits… are also extremely rare things.”
