Chapter 2266
by“Isn’t this just a book？ How did it become an Emperor Treasure？” Zhang Ruoxi hadn’t seen much of the world and spoke without scruples. If there was something she didn’t understand in her heart, she directly asked it out.
Duan Yuanshan smiled and said, “Secret treasures come in thousands of forms and don’t necessarily have to be knives, guns, clubs, etc. But the more peculiar the form of a secret treasure, the more peculiar the power it has. I have heard of this Liangyi Record. It is said that it was originally indeed a book, but it absorbed a lot of the Emperor’s charm and Emperor’s will of Emperor Jing powerhouses and gradually transformed into an Emperor Treasure, which was obtained by Lord Lou Chi and has extremely powerful strength.”
Zhang Ruoxi listened in a fog and didn’t understand the power within.
But several Dao Source Jing warriors all had solemn expressions, staring at the Emperor Treasure in Lou Chi’s hand, secretly excited in their hearts, all thinking that if one day they could be promoted to Emperor Jing and have an Emperor Treasure, that would be great.
In the sky, Lou Chi’s expression was solemn and serious. He pinched the spirit formula with his hand and tapped on the Liangyi Record a few times.
With a whoosh, the thick Liangyi Record flew out and suspended above the spiritual lake.A mysterious aura fluctuated out subsequently. Lou Chi’s body was filled with the emperor’s will surging and the emperor’s might spread. The spiritual formula in his hand kept changing, and he chanted in a low voice: “In the Book of Changes, there is the Supreme Ultimate, which gives birth to the Two Modes. The Two Modes transform into the Four Images, and the Four Images evolve into the Eight Trigrams. The Eight Trigrams return to the Ten Directions…
As he chanted, the Liangyi Record suddenly flipped without wind, and the pages rustled. As the pages flipped, large swathes of golden light shot out from it, radiating out like weeping willows in all directions.
The golden light contained an indescribable power fluctuation, as if it could suppress and lock a piece of heaven and earth, turning that heaven and earth into a cage.
The speed at which Lou Chi formed the seals of the magic formula became faster and faster, and his expression became more and more solemn.
Suddenly, he withdrew the magic formula and shouted in a low voice： “Yuanji！”
Boom…
The golden light shone brightly, making people unable to open their eyes.
At this moment, almost all the martial artists gathered by the spiritual lake were pushed by an invisible and soft force, staggering back, but not harmed at all. They didn’t manage to stabilize their figures until they retreated a hundred feet away.
When the golden light dissipated, everyone looked up and suddenly opened their mouths wide.
I saw above the Spiritual Lake. At this moment, a golden semicircular light curtain actually appeared, directly buckled there, completely sealing the surroundings of the Spiritual Lake, and the spiritual energy could not leak out at all.
The entire Spiritual Lake. Occupying a radius of ten thousand zhang, but Lou Chi was able to seal and suppress it with his own strength, and afterwards, it seemed that his face did not change and his heart did not beat, as if he had only done a trivial little thing.
Many Dao Source Realm martial artists all had shining in their eyes, yearning for it! Fantasizing about when they would have such a powerful force.
And after doing all this. Lou Chi turned around and cupped his hands towards Xiao Yuyang and said, “Fortunately, I did not disgrace my mission！”
Xiao Yuyang nodded and said, “Thank you for your trouble.”
After speaking, he took a step forward and swept his gaze downward.
All the martial artists gathered here couldn’t help but straighten their chests. Everyone felt that under Xiao Yuyang’s gaze, he was looking at himself.
Who would dare not be more proper when being looked at by a Silver Star Envoy of the Star God Palace？
Xiao Yuyang said loudly, “The Spiritual Lake suddenly appeared in Fenglin City. This is a blessing to this place and also a blessing to our Southern Region. But although the Spiritual Lake is rich in spiritual energy, if left unchecked, it will surely be exhausted one day. Therefore, it needs to be sealed first. As for how to use this Spiritual Lake to benefit all living beings… I still need to discuss it carefully with you adults.”
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly looked towards Duan Yuanshan and said with a gentle expression： “City Lord Duan, you are the City Lord of Fenglin City, come and participate as well！”
Duan Yuanshan was suddenly flattered, his face flushed, and upon hearing this, he clasped his fists and said： “The adult’s invitation is a great honor for Duan！”
Xiao Yuyang nodded and said loudly： “However, everyone can rest assured. Since this spiritual lake has appeared in Fenglin City, no one can snatch it away. We will not forcibly occupy it either. After proper discussion, it will definitely be opened for everyone to use. You just wait for the good news.”
“What？ This spiritual lake will still be opened up？”
“Is it true or false？ I didn’t hear wrong, did I？”
“The words came out of Lord Xiao’s mouth, and there is definitely no falsehood！”
“Lord Xiao is great. The Star God Palace is indeed the hegemonic sect in our Southern Region. It is really magnificent and open-minded！”
A group of martial artists originally thought that they would no longer have the opportunity to use this spiritual lake in the future. But upon hearing Xiao Yuyang’s words, they all exploded, and each one had a happy expression on their faces.
But there were quite a few people showing a thoughtful expression.
Xiao Yuyang’s status is respected and his position is extremely high. He couldn’t lie in front of so many people. Since he said it would be opened in the future, then it would definitely be opened.
But… if martial artists want to enter the Spiritual Lake Holy Land to cultivate in the future, I’m afraid it won’t be that simple. At the very least, they have to meet certain conditions or pay a certain price. Otherwise, if every Tom, Dick, and Harry can go in, this Spiritual Lake with a radius of ten thousand zhang won’t be able to accommodate them all.
It can be imagined that within a month, the news of the Spiritual Lake in Fenglin City will spread throughout the entire Southern Region. By that time, some freelance martial artists without sects or backgrounds will flock here, eager to snatch a cultivation position in the Spiritual Lake.
Fenglin City will surely become the focus of the entire Southern Region and will surely attract countless powerhouses to come.
As the city lord of Fenglin City, Duan Yuanshan’s subordinates, Fenglin City, was originally a small city that no one cared about. But now it is about to become the favorite in the entire Southern Region. For a while, he has mixed feelings in his heart, both excited and worried.
The excitement is that with the Spiritual Lake here, it is impossible for Fenglin City not to become big. As long as it can attract a certain number of talents, Fenglin City will surely grow rapidly in the future and become a top city.
The worry is that his strength is not enough to suppress those foreign powerhouses.
For a while, he couldn’t help but feel somewhat anxious about gains and losses.
“Well, everyone, please disperse. I believe you will hear good news soon.” As he spoke, Xiao Yuyang waved his hand.
Upon hearing this, numerous martial artists didn’t dare to stay any longer. They all cupped their fists towards him and rushed towards the direction of Fenglin City.
“Yang Kai！” Gao Xueting suddenly shouted.
Yang Kai turned around and smiled, saying, “What are your instructions, Elder Gao？”
“Come to my room to find me tonight！” Gao Xueting said indifferently.
“Uh…” Yang Kai was suddenly stunned in place.
The martial artists who were just about to return also all stiffened in place. They turned their heads and looked at Gao Xueting in astonishment, with their eyes wide open, as if they couldn’t believe their ears. They were all thinking that this Elder Gao of Qingyang Temple, who looked as cold as ice and unapproachable, unexpectedly was also such an active person！
For a while, the eyes of the crowd looking at Yang Kai were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. They didn’t know what was so outstanding about this kid that actually made Elder Gao so fond of him.
Several Emperor Realm experts also had wonderful expressions. Although they all knew that Gao Xueting didn’t mean that but this sentence somehow felt wrong when heard.
“Why do you all have such expressions?” Gao Xueting coldly looked at the several emperors Realm experts beside her and her pretty face was so cold that it seemed that a layer of frost could be scraped off.
“No, nothing. My stomach is very upset. I’m afraid I caught a cold last night！” Zeng Yuan had a look of pain as if he was about to die, covering his stomach with his hand.
“I ate something before coming. I guess I ate something bad！” Lou Chi also replied with a difficult expression on his face.
“Are you kidding me？” Gao Xueting sneered.
The vice presidents of the two major chambers of commerce both smiled awkwardly and didn’t know how to answer.
At a critical moment, Xiao Yuyang coughed lightly and said, “It’s important that we talk about business.”
“Right, right, right！” Chen Wenhao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, for fear that Gao Xueting would also come and ask him.
On the other side, Yang Kai was embarrassed for a while before he bowed solemnly and said, “Yes, sir!”
Gao Xueting nodded and said, “Go ahead！”
Only then did Yang Kai feel as if he had been pardoned. He pulled Zhang Ruoxi and followed the crowd towards Fenglin City.
Along the way, countless martial artists stared at him non-stop, and even Luo Yuan gave him a strange look.
“Damn it, there’s no justice. This young master is so handsome and unrestrained, yet that Elder Gao didn’t even look at me. Why is she so kind to you？” Ning Yuanshu shouted at Yang Kai from a distance under the protection of the two elders of Gaoshan Liushui, with an indignant expression on his face.
Yang Kai sneered, flicked his head, and his black hair on his forehead fluttered. He blew a breath and said, “Obviously, I’m a little more handsome than you！”
“Do you believe what you said？” Ning Yuanshu sneered again and again.
“Sir is the most handsome！” Zhang Ruoxi suddenly interjected shyly from the side, and then lowered her head again.
Yang Kai chuckled and reached out to pat her little head, saying, “The little girl has a good eye. When you grow up a bit, you will definitely be able to find a good husband！”
“I don’t want to！” Zhang Ruoxi’s voice was as soft as a mosquito.
Seeing this man and woman blatantly flirting right under his nose, Ning Yuanshu’s nose was almost crooked with anger.
Suddenly, Yang Kai’s expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, “Young Palace Master, take this opportunity and let’s get everything out in the open.”
“What do you mean？” Ning Yuanshu was Stunned .
Yang Kai glanced at him and said, “Just as Elders Gao Shan and Liu Shui are also here, let them be witnesses. The death of your eldest brother, Ning Yuancheng… I witnessed it with my own eyes.”
Upon hearing this, Gao Shan and Liu Shui’s bodies trembled, and Ning Yuanshu’s eyes also shrank. He roared, “So it was you who did this good deed.”
Yang Kai snorted and said, “Although I saw it, it wasn’t me who killed Ning Yuancheng.”
“Then who killed him？” Ning Yuanshu asked.
“Mu Xiao！”
“Mu Xiao？” Ning Yuanshu’s brows raised, showing a look of confusion as if he had never heard of it. But Gao Shan and Liu Shui’s eyes shrank slightly. Gao Shan exclaimed, “Two years ago, I heard that there was a Mu Xiao causing trouble in this Fenglin City, spreading the seeds of Mu Xiao, devouring souls, and enslaving people as servants！”
“Exactly！” Yang Kai nodded and said, “No one noticed when Ning Yuancheng was parasitized by the Wood Demon Seed. What happened that day was quite complicated. However, since Ning Yuancheng was a member of your Flying Saint Palace, I will tell you about it.”
Immediately, Yang Kai briefly described what had happened that day.
After listening, Gao Shan pondered for a long time before opening his mouth and saying, “According to what you said, during the auction that day, Han Leng, the outcast of the Star God Palace, followed the eldest son and the others and left. He ambushed and intercepted them outside the city to seize the treasure. Although he defeated Elder Liu Yizhi of our Saint Palace, he was secretly killed by the Wood Demon parasitized in the eldest son？”
“That’s right.” Yang Kai nodded.
