Chapter 2649
byLi Qingyuan and the others were filled with a bad taste in their hearts. The three Demon Kings joined the Lingxiao Palace and only asked for a reward of a deacon. Their strength was naturally not as good as that of the three Demon Kings. If they were in this Lingxiao Palace, could they only be compared to ordinary disciples?
Of course, they were also impossible to get out of their own sects to join the Lingxiao Palace. The water in this Lingxiao Palace was too deep and simply not something they could mix in.
However, with the addition of these three Demon Kings, the Lingxiao Palace would probably become the top sect in the Northern Territory in the future. Once it developed, it would definitely be able to overshadow the glory of the Qingqing Sect back then.
Li Qingyuan and the others seemed to see the figure of a behemoth about to rise, and their hearts were extremely shocked.
Such a good thing falling on Yang Kai’s head also made a group of people jealous to the point of going crazy. There are three demon kings here. If any one of them can join their sect, it will definitely bring endless benefits to people.
But to everyone’s great surprise, in the face of the earnest requests of the three demon kings, Yang Kai actually said with some difficulty： “This matter needs to be discussed further！”
Li Qingyuan and the others instantly widened their eyes and secretly cursed Yang Kai for being simply ungrateful. What others couldn’t ask for, when it came to him, he actually had to discuss it further. Was this guy’s head really wrong？
There’s no need to discuss it anymore. Agreeing directly is the right way.
Xi Lei and the others exchanged glances and also knew what Yang Kai was worried about. Although with his current status in the hearts of the three Saint Venerables, asking for three demon kings from the Wild Ancient Land to boost the momentum was not a big deal, he obviously didn’t want to blatantly poach someone else’s corner, especially when the corner to be poached was that of the three Saint Venerables.
At the very least, this matter had to be discussed with Luan Feng and the others first.
After understanding this, Xi Lei and the other three demon kings didn’t force it anymore.
After pondering for a while, Xi Lei said： “Young Master Yang, should these people… be killed？”
He asked casually, as if what he was going to kill was not thousands of people, but thousands of chickens and ducks, making everyone’s faces turn pale and looking at Yang Kai for help.
At this time, they also knew that their lives and deaths were all in Yang Kai’s hands. If Yang Kai wanted them to live, they would live. If he wanted them to die, it would be difficult for them not to die.
The dozen or so Emperor Senior Stage cultivators at the head looked at Yang Kai with flattering smiles and uneasiness, for fear that a word ‘kill’ would pop out of his mouth.
“What to kill. There is no enmity or hatred.” Yang Kai waved his hand and said with a smile, “Didn’t you hear that they came to congratulate this young master on founding the sect? Since they came to congratulate, then they are the guests of my Lingxiao Palace.”
“Yes, yes, Young Master Yang is wise！” Li Qingyuan shouted repeatedly. A touch of rejoicing after surviving a disaster appeared on his face.
He knew that since Yang Kai had said these words, then the lives of himself and others would surely be carefree. He was also extremely grateful for his magnanimity.
Xi Lei nodded and said, “It was this old ox who was reckless.” Changing the subject he shouted sharply at Li Qingyuan and the others, “You bunch of trash, since you came to congratulate, why don’t you see the congratulatory gifts presented? Could it be that you are just talking casually?
Li Qingyuan and the others were shocked and hurriedly said, “How dare we, how dare we. The congratulatory gifts… naturally there are, there are.”
As they spoke, more than a dozen Emperor Senior Stage cultivators quickly rummaged through their Spatial Rings. Their expressions alternated between determination and hesitation from time to time.
In a short while, more than a dozen Spatial Rings were gathered in Li Qingyuan’s hands. Li Qingyuan held them with both hands and nervously came to Yang Kai. Forcing a smile, he said, “Young Master Yang, these are just some modest gifts. I hope Young Master Yang will accept them with a smile.”
Yang Kai casually took them and didn’t bother to check the contents inside the rings.
Now that he was rich, he didn’t lack these dozen Spatial Rings either.
Nodding slightly, he said, “Lord Li has a heart.”
A hint of hidden pain flashed across Li Qingyuan’s face. He had just ransacked most of his savings over the years and offered them up, fearing that Yang Kai would not be satisfied.
It was estimated that the other Emperor Senior Stage cultivators were the same. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have shown expressions of distress one by one.
Who would have thought that when the things reached the other party’s hands, they were put away without even looking. If he had known this earlier, why would he have bothered so much? He could have just stuffed some random congratulatory gifts in.
“It’s a pleasure. Young Master Yang… if there’s no other order, Li will take his leave.” Li Qingyuan, having lost his wealth painfully, felt extremely blocked in his heart. He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.
“Speaking of orders, this young master really has one thing that requires everyone’s help.” Yang Kai said with a gentle smile.
“Ah…” Li Qingyuan was greatly shocked. While wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he asked in a flustered manner, “I wonder what Young Master Yang’s instructions are？”
Yang Kai smiled slightly and said, “Patriarch Li, don’t be so nervous. The thing I want you to do for me is very simple. After leaving this place, you just need to promote it a little for me in the Northern Territory, saying that I have occupied this land and established the Lingxiao Palace！”
Upon hearing this, Li Qingyuan’s heart relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief and said, “So it’s just this matter！”
Yang Kai looked at him meaningfully and said, “Then what did Patriarch Li think it was？”
Li Qingyuan said awkwardly, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. This is a piece of cake. It’s wrapped around me. Although my strength is insufficient, I also know some friends and will definitely spread this news in the shortest possible time to avoid some small fry from harassing your palace.”
“That’s good.” Yang Kai nodded with a smile, and then looked at the other Emperor Respect Realms and said, “I also hope that all of you can help out.”
How dare the Emperor Respect Realms not agree? They nodded and promised one after another, patting their chests and making guarantees.
Yang Kai smiled and clasped his fists and said, “Since all of you are heroes in the Northern Territory, when my Lingxiao Palace officially opens its mountain gate another day, I will definitely send out invitations. I also hope that all of you will come and have a drink of happy wine at that time.”
When everyone heard this, their hearts felt bitter, knowing that they would definitely have to offer a large sum of congratulatory gifts at that time, but on the surface they kept chatting with Yang Kai, expressing that they would definitely come at that time.
After a few more words of rambling, the group of people couldn’t wait to escape.
“A bunch of trash. Why does Young Master Yang have to give them face?” Xi Lei snorted coldly. Although he didn’t see the conflict between Yang Kai and those Emperor Senior Stage cultivators, he also vaguely guessed some of the truth. According to his personality, he would directly kill them all, which could also be regarded as making a name for Lingxiao Palace.
Yang Kai smiled and shook his head, saying, “The more friends, the more paths. They just had greedy intentions and have no enmity with me. Why drive them to extinction? In the future, if Lingxiao Palace wants to gain a foothold in the Northern Territory, it’s not suitable to make the whole world its enemy. You know, snakes have their ways and rats have their ways. Maybe one day in the future, they can be of some use.”
Xi Lei immediately flattered, “Young Master Yang is wise. It’s this old ox who didn’t think carefully.”
Yang Kai was not interested in his flattery and pretended not to hear. He raised his hand and said, “Come with me.”
The three Demon Kings looked at each other. Although they didn’t know what Yang Kai was going to do, they all obediently followed.
In a short while, everyone came to the new spatial array by Yang Kai.
Looking at the three people, Yang Kai said, “This time, thank you three Demon Kings. Without your help, Bingxin Valley might not have been so easily relieved of the siege. This young master thanks you on behalf of Senior Bingyun and the thousands of disciples of Bingxin Valley.”
Xi Lei and the others were shocked and quickly said, “Young Master Yang is too serious. It’s just a trivial matter.”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “It may be a small matter for you, but for Bing Xin Valley, it is a life-saving grace and cannot be treated the same.” Pausing for a moment, Yang Kai continued, “However, since things have settled here, the three of you should return to the Wild Ancient Lands first.”
“Ah…” When Ying Fei heard this, he immediately showed a disappointed expression and looked at Yang Kai hesitantly, saying, “Young Master Yang, you’re making us go back just like that? We’ve only been out for a few days.”
“That’s right！” Xie Wuwei also nodded vigorously beside him. “Young Master Yang, if there’s anything else you need us to do, just say the word and the three of us will definitely not refuse.”
Xi Lei eagerly said, “How about Young Master Yang take us to sweep through the Northern Territory and unify it？”
This proposal was loudly cheered by Ying Fei and Xie Wuwei. The demonic essence in their bodies surged, as if with just one order from Yang Kai, they would go and cause trouble for other sects in the Northern Territory.
Yang Kai smiled helplessly and said, “Although the three of you are powerful, after all, there is a difference between humans and demons. If you really cause a big stir in the Northern Territory, I’m afraid it will attract trouble. I also know what you’re thinking, but this matter can’t be rushed. It’s still unknown when the girl will leave seclusion. You just wait for news in the ancient lands.”
Being seen through their thoughts by Yang Kai, the three demon kings all had somewhat embarrassed expressions.
After all, it was because of Yang Kai’s relationship with Zhang Ruoxi that they submitted to him so much. Without Zhang Ruoxi, Yang Kai wouldn’t have this much influence.
The three of them also knew that what Yang Kai said was the truth. Although they wanted to follow Yang Kai and be close to the source of benefits, the key was that the Blood Gate had been hidden since its disappearance, and no one knew when Zhang Ruoxi would come out of seclusion. Even if they followed Yang Kai, it would be useless.
But just going back like this, they were rather reluctant. God knew when Yang Kai would think of them next time.
Xie Wuwei rolled his eyes and said, “Young Master Yang, let the two of them go back. I’ll just follow you, and it’s also convenient to protect your safety. Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs. When traveling in the Star Boundary, one must naturally be careful.”
“Why should we go and you stay？” Ying Fei and Xi Lei asked in unison, looking indignant.
This guy actually wanted to take all the benefits for himself. It was simply hateful.
Xie Wuwei snorted and said, “For no reason.”
Xi Lei shouted, “Come on, let’s fight first. Whoever is stronger will stay. Let’s talk with our fists, not with our lips. Since we want to protect Young Master Yang, of course we have to leave the strongest one！”
Among the thirty-two and the eight Saint Envoys his strength was enough to rank among the top three. In a one-on-one fight, Ying Fei and Xie Wuwei were definitely no match for him.
Xie Wuwei sneered and said, “This Seat disdainfully.”
Ying Fei said, “Brother Xie, what you said is not right. Even if only one person is to stay behind to protect Young Master Yang, it wouldn’t be your turn. In terms of strength, Brother Xi Lei is stronger than you. In terms of flexibility and mobility, if this king ranks second, no one dares to claim the first. This important task of being a bodyguard, this king will not shirk.”
Xie Wuwei’s mouth twitched and he coldly snorted, “How about relying on the fact that Xie is Young Master Yang’s soul slave？”
As he spoke, he suddenly urged his soul power, and a touch of faint golden light emerged from his mind. That golden light was obviously a layer of soul restriction, branded in Xie Wuwei’s sea of consciousness, and from that soul restriction, the aura belonging to Yang Kai was clearly transmitted.
