Chapter 2322

Liuyan had followed him for many years, and they had always watched and helped each other over the years, and she had helped Yang Kai a lot. If she fell because of the strange stone in front of him, Yang Kai could not accept it no matter what.

If that were really the case, he would definitely dig out Ye Chong’s corpse, crush his bones and scatter his ashes to relieve the hatred in his heart.

But after careful consideration, he felt that it should be unlikely. Ye Chong had something to ask of himself and would never put a strange stone here to harm him secretly.

But… when he said there was an opportunity in this cave earlier, why did he keep staring at Liuyan？

Yang Kai’s heart was in a turmoil. Just then, a trace of an extremely familiar aura suddenly fluctuated out from the strange stone.

After noticing this trace of aura, Yang Kai’s expression cheered up and he hurriedly shouted, “Liuyan!”

That aura was definitely Liuyan’s, but it was very weak. If it weren’t for the fact that he had been with Liuyan for many years and was already familiar with it, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to detect it either.

Since there was a residue ofsmell, it meant that Liuyan hadn’t fallen yet and was just sealed within that strange rock. Realizing this, Yang Kai didn’t dare to attack the strange rock rashly, fearing that he might hurt Liuyan.

However, in response to his call, Liuyan didn’t give any response at all. Not only that, in Yang Kai’s perception, the smellemanating from Liuyan was extremely stable. Although the fluctuation was extremely weak, there was no trace of injury.

It was somewhat like being in a deep sleep.

What was going on？ Yang Kai couldn’t figure it out at all.

He cautiously released his divine sense to explore again, but just like before, as soon as his divine sense ventured into this strange rock it was as if it was bitten off by an invisible big mouth. Not only did his investigate yield no results but also his knowledge ached slightly.

This strange rock doesn’t know what kind of divine sense it was actually devouring divine sense which showed that its quality was extremely extraordinary.

A hint of almost invisible crimson diffused out from the interior of the strange rock and permeated the surface of the strange rock. Yang Kai’s eyes lit up when he saw this. He was very familiar with this red smell. It was clearly the extremely complex flame power that Liuyan possessed, in which the power of various strange fires was doped and fused. But they were perfectly blend together. Besides Liuyan, there was no second one in the world that had it.

Could it be that Liuyan was to challenge the sealing power inside?

Thinking of this, Yang Kai’s tense heart couldn’t help but relax a lot. Forcing himself to calm down, he carefully observed, wanting to know if there was any way he could help Liu Yan.

After the color diffused out, the strange stone suddenly let out a buzzing sound. Immediately after, it actually emitted an extremely strong suction force, crazy absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual energy.

In an instant, a strong wind whistled and wailed in the cave. The extremely rich spiritual energy in this secret realm flooded into the strange stone, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea and disappeared.

On the contrary, as the spiritual energy disappeared, the crimson color on the surface of the strange stone became more and more intense and Liu Yan’ssmellalso became clearer and clearer.

It wants spiritual energy? Yang Kai’s heart moved. Without any hesitation, he waved his hand.Tens of millions of source crystals were all scattered around the strange stone. The quantity was so large that it almost filled the cave. These source crystals were all of the middle and upper grades, and there were no lower-grade source crystals at all. They were all stripped from that source crystal vein.

Yang Kai punched out again, blasting the source crystals into powder and turning them into a sea of spiritual energy to wrap the strange stone.

Visibly, the strange stone continuously absorbed the surrounding energy, as if it would never stop.

……

Just as Liu Yan was in danger, outside of Thousand Leaves Sect, the situation was tense and everyone was on edge.

Over a thousand martial artists arrived in front of the mountain-protecting great formation of Qianye Sect, eyeing Qianye Sect covetously.

These thousand people belonged to different forces, but they all seemed to be led by a middle-aged man with blue hair. This middle-aged man didn’t know what profound skill he had cultivated. His long water-blue hair was unruly draped over his shoulders, his figure was heroic, and his expression was awe-inspiring without anger.

He was sitting on a sixteen-person-carrying open-top sedan chair. The sedan chair was spacious and also emitted a not weak spiritual energy fluctuation. Obviously, it was an extraordinary secret treasure. And at this moment, the man with water-blue hair was leisurely sipping tea, as if he was here for an outing in a leisurely manner.

And beside him, many powerhouses were gathered.

Luo Jin, the city lord of Tianhe City whom Yang Kai had severely taught a lesson, was among them. Just in a short time and I don’t know what kind of spirit pill or wonderful medicine Luo Jin had taken, but his injuries were completely healed, and there was no trace of the previous injuries inflicted by Yang Kai at all. He was full of energy and his complexion was extremely ruddy.

The two old men who were previously responsible for protecting the young palace master Qiu Yu of Tianzhao Palace were also beside him, standing with their heads bowed, seemingly extremely respectful to the man with water-blue hair.

There was also a remarkable man. In terms of cultivation, he was no worse than anyone here. He had a hulking back and a bear waist, and his appearance was extremely rough. The aura emanating from his whole body was also extremely violent. He looked to be in his forties or fifties.

This man stood aside, constantly casting glances at the middle-aged man with aqua-blue hair and sneering repeatedly, seemingly extremely despising the aqua-blue-haired man’s behavior.

These several people were all the leaders of nearby sects. Their status and strength were almost the same. Just this middle-aged man with aqua-blue hair put on a high and mighty, outstanding look which naturally made others dislike him.

If this scene were seen by an outsider who didn’t know the situation, they might think that the martial artists here followed the lead of that middle-aged man with aqua-blue hair.

Over a thousand martial artists, belonging to five or six sect forces, gathered here but remained silent, as if silently waiting for something.

Luo Jin’s face was filled with resentment and hatred. He stared fixedly ahead, with his fists tightly clenched.

A few days ago, he held a concubine-taking ceremony in the City Lord’s Mansion, but it was disrupted halfway. Not only was the bride snatched away in full view of everyone, but he himself was also severely injured. If it weren’t for good luck, he might have already died.

Although it had only been a few days, this matter had already spread like wildfire in the nearby area, and all the martial artists in the entire Tianhe City knew about it.

His prestige in Tianhe City had plummeted. Wherever he went, he felt that people were pointing fingers at him behind his back. Not only that, but there were even dissatisfied voices in the city, calling for him to step down and give up his position.

How could Luo Jin tolerate such a thing? He had painstakingly managed Tianhe City for so many years. how could he be willing to fall short at the last moment? It seems that he is about to rise to the same level as the surrounding sects.

And the culprit of all this was that brat named Yang Kai！ As long as he could kill Yang Kai and wash away the previous humiliation, Luo Jin believed that he could stabilize Tianhe City again. At that time, no one would dare to say a word against him！

Hating Yang Kai, Luo Jin naturally didn’t have any good feelings towards Thousand Leaves Sect that sheltered Yang Kai. He secretly swore in his heart that if Ye Hen was sensible, it would be fine. If he dared to be insensible, he would make him know the consequences.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Just at this time, a stream of light shot over from the front. When the light fell, the figures of many high-ranking officials of Thousand Leaves Sect were revealed. Ye Hen was at the head, and those deputy sect masters and elders were all beside him.

Although they had received the news in advance, when they saw so many powerhouses gathered in front of their own mountain protection formation, Ye Hen and the others couldn’t help but change their complexions greatly.

The forces gathered here were the forces of five or six surrounding forces. There were as many as two hundred Dao Source Realm warriors alone, and there were more than a dozen Dao Source Third Layer Realm warriors. The rest were all Void King Realm warriors. With such a force, how could the current Thousand Leaves Sect stop it？

Ye Hen composed himself and clasped his fists, saying, “All friends visiting our humble sect have made our sect shine with glory. I wonder what brings you here without notice？”

He also knew that the other party came with ill intentions and this time it might not be resolved peacefully. But with the Mountain Protecting Great Array here, he wasn’t too afraid either. If it was the Mountain Protecting Great Array of an ordinary sect, it would be fine and definitely couldn’t withstand the attacks of so many powerful people.

However, the Mountain Protecting Great Array of the Thousand Leaves Sect has been passed down for a long time and is of a very high grade, not comparable to those insignificant sects. If it weren’t for the fact that the Thousand Leaves Sect’s current strength is insufficient, the defensive level of the Mountain Protecting Great Array could still be raised by several grades. Once it is activated, even if a dozen Emperor Venerable Realms join hands, they may not be able to break it.

Even so, now this Mountain Protecting Great Array should be more than enough to resist these people in front of it. This is also the fundamental reason why the Thousand Leaves Sect, although declining, has been able to stand firm.

If the Mountain Protecting Great Array can’t be broken, no one dares to really tear their faces off completely with the Thousand Leaves Sect.

As soon as Ye Hen’s voice fell, Luo Jin jumped out first and shouted harshly, “Ye, don’t play dumb when you know the truth. Don’t you know the reason why we are here？ If you are sensible, hand over the kid named Yang Kai and the other few people obediently, otherwise don’t blame us for being rude.”

Ye Hen heard this and frowned, saying, “City Lord Luo, I don’t know what grievance you have with Young Master Yang that makes you so furious.”

Seeing him play dumb on purpose, Luo Jin was almost furious. With an ashen face, he said, “Ye Hen, are you looking down on Luo？ Don’t you know what happened in my City Lord’s Mansion a few days ago？ Or are you deliberately humiliating me！”

Ye Hen said lightly, “I know a little, not in detail！”

“That kid caused a great disturbance in my City Lord’s Mansion, robbed my concubine, and wounded the guests. How can I let him go easily.”

Ye Hen said, “This matter is a bit different from what I heard. I heard that City Lord Luo bullied the weak and the strong, bullied men and women, imprisoned several friends of Young Master Yang, and forced the mother-in-law of Young Master Yang to get married. Young Master Yang had no choice but to fight with City Lord Luo. Although he won in the end, he still mercifully spared your life… It’s okay if City Lord Luo doesn’t feel grateful, but why are you repaying kindness with enmity just a few days later?”

Luo Jin’s face turned green and then red, and he roared, “You’re talking nonsense！”

Ye Hen said coldly, “There were countless guests that day, and everyone saw it. Whether it’s me talking nonsense or City Lord Luo being ungrateful, I believe everyone understands.”

Luo Jin’s heart was filled with a surge of hot blood, almost on the verge of erupting. This matter was the greatest humiliation of his life. Now that it was mentioned publicly by Ye Hen, he was naturally burning with anger. If not for the mountain-protecting great formation blocking in front, he would have already gone berserk and sought to fight Ye Hen to the death.

Ye Hen clasped his fists and looked around, saying, “All friends here should also know about that matter. It might as well be carefully told to City Lord Luo, lest he misunderstand something and do something that angers both men and gods.”

Upon hearing this, none of the martial artists who came here had the intention to speak. Their purpose in coming here this time was not to engage in a battle of words with Ye Hen. Even if what Ye Hen said was the truth, so what? Yang Kai had indeed killed people, and those he killed were the elites of their sects. Now that they knew Yang Kai was in the Thousand Leaves Sect, how could they stand by and do nothing?
