Chapter 2544

That unknown powerhouse’s choice to soul descend on Old Fu probably also has his own considerations. For one thing, Lin’er is a woman, and there are somewhat inconveniences. For another, Old Fu’s strength is much stronger than Lin’er’s. Soul descending on him can also display more means, and even if Old Fu’s body is damaged in any way afterwards, it doesn’t matter.

The soul descent of a powerhouse also has a great load on the body of a weak person.

Under Yang Kai’s gaze, the old Fu lying on the ground stood up straight. His grizzled hair fluttered without any wind, and his pair of eyes were as deep and profound as the sea, inspiring awe in people’s hearts.

In the blink of an eye, the old Fu’s temperament changed drastically. His gaze swept over, as if he could look down upon the world, and he had an inherent dignity even without getting angry.

The old Fu’s gaze swept over and stayed on Yang Kai for a moment, and then turned to Lin’er’s side. His expression was indifferent, and it was not known whether he was happy or angry.

Lin’er seemed to have reacted at this moment. She reached out and touched the position where the pendant originally was on her neck, and then looked at the old Fu. After meeting that familiar gaze, she couldn’t help but shrink her neck and had already realized what had happened.

“Father…” she called out softly, her voice as low as a mosquito, not feeling happy because of her father’s soul descent, but with a scared expression on her face.

“Hmph！” The old Fu snorted coldly and said indifferently, “Shouldn’t you be reflecting behind closed doors? Why are you here?”

Lin’er was left speechless by this question, and her gaze was timid, not daring to look at him at all.

Yang Kai’s heart moved. It turned out that this young lady had run out secretly. No wonder she was so scared when her father’s soul descended. Why do all these little girls like to do this? Mo Xiaoqi also often runs out from the Spirit Beast Island, and so does this one in front of him.

They are all spoiled, Yang Kai snorted coldly in his heart.

“What trouble have you caused again！” Old Fu asked.

Lin’er didn’t answer, her eyes looked around, as if she was trying to find a way to escape.

“Why don’t you answer when I ask you！” Old Fu suddenly shouted in a low voice.

Lin’er’s delicate body trembled, and she blurted out reflexively： “Daughter has been bullied…”

As she spoke, tears fell down. One by one, they slid down her fair cheeks. She was as sad as could be. There was no longer the previous arrogance and domineering, and she was completely different from her earlier performance.

Yang Kai was stunned. He thought that this young lady’s acting skills were really good. It seemed that she hadn’t done such things less often usually.

The tears came as soon as they were mentioned. They flowed down like they didn’t cost money. She cried heartbreakingly, as if she had really been treated unfairly by someone. She also pointed at Yang Kai and said: “It’s this person. He also wanted to kill me. Daddy, you have to stand up for me.”

Old Fu said expressionlessly： “Is there still someone who dares to bully you？ It’s you who bully others by relying on your power and cause trouble everywhere, and you’ve been taught a lesson, right？”

He seemed to know his daughter extremely well, so he didn’t believe her words at all and hit the nail on the head in a few words.

Lin’er’s crying stopped abruptly, and she opened her mouth wide and looked at Old Fu.

“The adult is really wise!” Yang Kai quickly clasped his fists and said with a smile on his face.

Elder Fu turned his head and looked at Yang Kai indifferently： “When did it become your turn to butt in when I’m talking to my own daughter？”

Yang Kai couldn’t help but curl his lip. He was extremely disgusted in his heart.

Elder Fu said： “You don’t seem surprised to see me at all？”

Yang Kai snorted and said： “What’s there to be surprised about? If it weren’t for your indulgence and protection, with your daughter’s temper and ability to cause trouble, how could she have lived until today? She would have long since died somewhere.”

This guy wasn’t polite to himself at all, and Yang Kai didn’t bother to give him a good look. Anyway, he wasn’t in the wrong this time. Yang Kai didn’t believe that he could really bully the weak with his strength and do anything to him.

Feng Xi’s father, Feng Xuan, could disregard his face and forcefully stand up for his son, but the one in front of him definitely couldn’t. He had to his own identity to some extents. It was precisely because of this that Yang Kai wasn’t afraid at all.

Lin’er looked at Yang Kai in astonishment, never expecting that this guy would have such great courage. Facing her father, he could still say such words. This wasn’t something that just anyone could do.

How did she provoke such a person? Lin’er regretted it to the core.

Elder Fu’s eyes sharpened, and he said in a deep voice： “Kid, are you accusing me of not being strict in discipline？”

Yang Kai snorted and didn’t pay attention to him. Such an obvious thing, why bother asking and slapping himself in the face?

Seeing his indifferent appearance, Old Fu was also extremely surprised and said, “Aren’t you afraid of this old man？”

Yang Kai cast a glance at him and said, “Why should I be afraid of you？”

If it was before he went to the Broken Star Sea, Yang Kai might have been afraid, but now he is not an inexperienced person. He has even met the Red Dust Great Emperor and the Devouring Heaven Great Emperor, and has long been rich in experience.

“Do you know who this old man is？” Old Fu asked again.

Yang Kai remained silent for a while, and then cupped his fists and said, “This junior is Yang Kai. Greetings to Lord Nether！”

This salute was not out of fear or dread, but out of respect for the strong.

Old Fu was really shocked this time. There was no other reason. Yang Kai actually called out his identity in one go, which showed that he was not ignorant of his background.

As Yang Kai said, the one who came down through the soul was one of the ten great emperors in the Star Boundary, the Nether Great Emperor, and also the overlord of the Eastern Region. The Nether Palace was created by him.

The soul contract that circulated throughout the Star Boundary was also something created by this person.

Yang Kai was able to know this just because of the attitude of the people from the Nether Spring Sect and others towards Lin’er. The Nether Spring Sect was at least one of the top sects in the Eastern Region. If Lin’er’s identity was not more noble than theirs, how could they be so polite to her？

Who else could have a more noble identity than the people from the Nether Spring Sect？

After connecting the front and back, it was not surprising to know this.

“How did you know？” Old Fu raised his eyebrows.

Yang Kai chuckled and said, “I guessed.”

Old Fu’s eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn’t dwell on this issue too much. After pondering for a while, he said, “Since you already knew Lin’er’s background, why did you dare to attack her with all your strength？ Could it be… that you wanted to lure this old man to show up？”

This old guy has an unusually sharp mind…

Since he was pointed out, Yang Kai didn’t’t hide it anymore. He bowed and said, “Your Excellency has discerning eyes. This little one indeed had this intention.”

Of course, if he didn’t show up, Yang Kai would really have killed to silence. Lin’er had provoked him again and again and almost made him die at the hands of the people of the Netherworld Sect. Yang Kai couldn’t just pretend that this hadn’t happened.

Old Fu asked curiously, “Why did you go to so much trouble to lure this old man to show up？”

Yang Kai sighed and said with a bitter face, “Your Excellency, this little one really has no choice. It’s really because of your daughter’s coercion.”

“What does it have to do with me！” Lin’er wasn’t panicked at this moment. Since her father’s soul had descended here, her life was definitely safe. What she was worried about was that she didn’t know how long she would be confined this time when she was caught and brought back.

Yang Kai glanced at her and said unhappily, “If it weren’t for your background, do you think you would still be alive to speak now？”

Lin’er snorted, turned her head away and didn’t bother to argue with him. However, when she recalled the scene where Yang Kai had slashed at her with a sword just now without the slightest hesitation, she couldn’t help but feel a little scared. In her heart, she also knew that what he said was right. If it weren’t for her father’s protection, she really would have lost her life.

Yang Kai had a worried expression on his face and bowed, saying, “Lord Youhun, your daughter has made things difficult for me time and time again. This kid originally didn’t want to argue with her. After all, she’s just a little girl, and it’s excusable for her to be a bit naughty. But this kid let her go again and again, and not only did she not appreciate it, but she also colluded with the people of the Huangquan Sect and ambushed and killed me here. It’s really unbearable. In a fit of anger, this kid killed more than twenty people of the Huangquan Sect here…

Old Fu raised his eyes and looked over there. He had noticed the full ground corpses earlier but he didn’t expect that these people were actually from the Huangquan Sect.

This kid is so capable? He’s just a First-Order Emperor Venerable, how could he kill so many people?

Yang Kai continued, “The deaths of the people of the Huangquan Sect are not to be regretted, but this kid really dares not be disrespectful to your daughter!

“You… you’re lying! Lin’er pointed at Yang Kai angrily and shouted jiao, “You clearly wanted to kill me just now.”

Yang Kai sneered and said, “If I don’t make you worry about your life, how can I bring out the adults!”

Old Fu narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Kai and said, “What do you want to do after this seat?”

Yang Kai was stunned for a moment and said, “Sir, I dare not kill your daughter, but I always have to let out this breath, right? Naturally, I can only ask you to come out and reason. Who told me that my fists are not as big as yours?”

Old Fu sneered softly.

What does that mean? Could it be that he thinks he should be bullied? Yang Kai’s heart was filled with anger, and he said, “Sir, I almost lost my life because of your daughter. Look at this wound. It hurts a lot.”

Old Fu’s gaze moved down and he took a look at the one-foot-long scar on Yang Kai’s chest. He was also a little moved.

With such a serious injury, this kid could still remain calm and talk freely in front of himself. He was really a strange flower. Didn’t he fear that he would be slapped into a meat patty by himself with a flick of his hand？

“I understand. Then how do you want to reason with me？” Old Fu looked at Yang Kai leisurely. “I am here now. Feel free to say whatever you want. If it’s too late, there will be no chance.”

Yang Kai’s face sank and he said, “Sir, you couldn’t be thinking of killing people to silence them, could you？ With your status, if you do such a thing, what face will you have when it gets out？”

Old Fu said, “No matter what your motive is, the fact that you wanted to kill my daughter is true. What does it matter if I kill you？”

Yang Kai was furious and said, “Sir, are you going to bully the weak with your power and bully the small with your size?”

This old guy is too shameless. I thought he was one of the Ten Great Emperor Venerables and at least a person who cared about face. Who would have known that he was actually like this.

Over there, Lin’er was delighted and shouted loudly, “Father, don’t waste words with him. Kill him quickly！”

The old man Fu sneered and looked at Yang Kai, saying, “Afraid？”

Yang Kai gritted his teeth and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? This young master has fought side by side with the Red Dust Great Emperor. I’m not a novice who has never seen the abilities of a Great Emperor. I’m also a person who has seen the world. What’s there to be afraid of.”

As soon as these words came out, the old man Fu’s expression immediately became strange, and he said, “You fought side by side with the old man Red Dust？”

“That’s right.” Yang Kai snorted and said, “If the adult’s true self came, this kid would naturally flee in the face of the wind. But now the adult is just a wisp of soul descending. How much ability can you display? To be frank with the adult, before this kid dies, I can definitely take your daughter to be buried. I just don’t know if the adult cares about the life of your daughter.”
