Chapter 2653

This person seemed to be giving Yang Kai a kind reminder out of consideration for that top-grade Source Crystal.

Yang Kai, however, felt his head was in a daze.

A year ago, he led the three great Demon Kings to wipe out the entire Wenqing Sect, but he never expected that at the same time, Qianye Sect was also wiped out by someone.

At the beginning, he was invited by Ye Jinghan, the daughter of the Sect Master of Qianye Sect, to go to Qianye Sect to repair that spatial array and reopen that small world for Qianye Sect to retrieve the ancestral legacy. Coincidentally, he met the long-lost Red Moon Ghost Ancestor and Aio and others.

Qianye Sect was nothing to him, just having some friendship. But Red Moon and others were left in Qianye Sect at the beginning.

Now that Qianye Sect has been wiped out, what is the fate of Red Moon and others？

Those people who came to the Star Boundary with him from the Hengluo Star Field all had a deep relationship with him. Red Moon was the adoptive mother of Shan Qingluo and could be regarded as his mother-in-law. Aio was the father of Xue Yue and could be regarded as his father-in-law. The Ghost Ancestor was the Supreme Elder of his Lingxiao Sect and had shared life and death with him. Only the Sword League Leader Gu Cangyun was not familiar with him…

Upon hearing such bad news, Yang Kai’s face contorted, and a terrifying killing intent instantly spread. He glared at the man and said, “You’re lying to me？”

The man hadn’t taken Yang Kai seriously at first, but now that he sensed Yang Kai’s aura, his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in horror, “Emperor Venerable Realm！”

He never expected that this young man who casually stopped him to ask questions was actually a genuine Emperor Venerable Realm. If he had known this earlier, how dare he be so casual.

That cold killing intent lingered beside him like a substance, making him feel as if he was going to die at any moment. He couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat and said, “G… Great… My Lord, I didn’t lie to you. The Thousand Leaves Sect was really wiped out. This matter is known to everyone in the Southern “Region!”

“Bullshit！” Yang Kai grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

In the star field, there are countless large and small sects. How could the destruction of such an unremarkable sect as the Thousand Leaves Sect be known throughout the world? Only the destruction of a behemoth like the Asking Love Sect would cause a sensation in the entire Northern Region.

To put it bluntly, even if the Thousand Leaves Sect was really wiped out, it would only be like throwing a stone into the vast ocean of the Southern Region, at most lifting some ripples which would soon disappear.

So Yang Kai instinctively felt that this guy was lying.

Being held by the neck by Yang Kai, that person had difficulty breathing and kept struggling, but to no avail.

“Young Master Yang！” Ying Fei called out in a low voice beside him. He also noticed that Yang Kai’s mood was a bit off and realized that this Thousand Leaves Sect should have an extremely important position in Yang Kai’s heart.

Yang Kai furrowed his brows. Noticing his own loss of composure, he let go of his hand and put that person down, saying in a deep voice, “Tell me what you know. If it’s true, I won’t make things difficult for you.

That person coughed for a long time and even coughed out tears, but didn’t dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction. After catching his breath, he said, “Sir, what… what do you want to know？”

The current Emperor Senior Realm in front of him was rather moody. He didn’t dare to casually guess this person’s thoughts and could only inquire carefully.

“Who destroyed the Thousand Leaves Sect？” Yang Kai asked in a deep voice.

“It is said that they offended the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect.”

“The Flowing Shadow Sword Sect!” Yang Kai furrowed his brows, faintly remembering having heard of this sect somewhere.

After careful thought, he indeed remembered having heard of it. Back then in the Four Seasons Land, he had dealt with the disciples of the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect. In his impression, this sect should not be a top-notch sect, but its strength should be good.

“Why did the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect want to destroy the Thousand Leaves Sect?” Yang Kai continued to ask. “Do the two sects have any deep hatred?”

That person quickly replied, “There is no deep hatred, but the Thousand Leaves Sect is guilty because of what it has.”

A flash of inspiration crossed Yang Kai’s mind, and he subconsciously said, “Heavenly Puppets？”

The so-called Heavenly Puppets are Heaven-level puppets. The Thousand Leaves Sect rose to prominence with the art of puppetry. The founder of the Thousand Leaves Sect had an extremely deep understanding of the way of puppetry and left ten Heavenly Puppets for the sect. Each Heavenly Puppet is comparable to a Great Emperor Realm cultivator.

During its heyday, the Thousand Leaves Sect was also one of the top sects in the Southern Region and was renowned throughout the Star Boundary.

However, the descendants were mediocre and unable to carry forward the art of puppetry. With the decline of each generation’s inheritance, the Thousand Leaves Sect eventually became an insignificant sect, and even many of the techniques for controlling puppets were lost.

Youdaoplaceholder0, last time Yang Kai repaired that spatial array for them, reopened that sealed small world retrieved the various lost secret techniques of the Thousand Leaves Sect, and also reactivated those Heavenly Puppets.

And Liu Yan’s spiritual puppet body was also obtained from that small world. If not for this, Liu Yan might still not have a physical body until now.

When Yang Kai mentioned the word “Heavenly Puppets”, that person nodded repeatedly and said, “Exactly, exactly. So it turns out that sir also knows about the Heavenly Puppets of the Thousand Leaves Sect. A few years ago, the Thousand Leaves Sect somehow obtained the inheritance left by their ancestors and regained control of the Heavenly Puppets that had been sealed for many years. The Flowing Shadow Sword Sect seemed to be quite interested in this, so they found an excuse to exterminate the Thousand Leaves Sect.”

“So simple？” Yang Kai’s face was so dark that it was ugly.

That person smiled bitterly and said, “All the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. The Sect Master of the Thousand Leaves Sect only has the cultivation base of the Third Layer of the Dao Source Realm, but he has Heavenly Puppets under his command with strength comparable to that of the Emperor Venerable Realm. It’s hard not to be coveted.”

This is also true. If the Thousand Leaves Sect really had the Emperor Venerable Realm powerhouses sitting in it, having Heavenly Puppets with strength comparable to that of the Emperor Venerable Realm under their command would not be a big deal. The key is that even the Sect Master of the Thousand Leaves Sect, Ye Hen, only has the cultivation base of the Third Layer of the Dao Source Realm. Having such a good thing as the Heavenly Puppets in his hands, of course, would attract the covetousness of others.

After pondering for a while, Yang Kai said coldly, “The ten Heavenly Puppets of the Thousand Leaves Sect, each of them has strength comparable to that of the Emperor Venerable Realm. How could the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect easily exterminate their sect？”

He knew the abilities of the Heavenly Puppet. Since Liu Yan had a White Tiger Heavenly Puppet, it could indeed display combat power comparable to that of a First-Order Emperor Realm. Although the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect was not bad, it was not a top-notch sect either. How could it easily swallow such a fat piece of meat?

The man smiled bitterly and said, “This little one doesn’t know either. Everyone is very strange. I’m afraid the Heavenly Puppets of the Thousand Leaves Sect are not as good as their reputation.”

This statement was also correct. Although the Heavenly Puppets had decent combat power, they also need someone to control them. Without an Emperor Realm in the Thousand Leaves Sect it was indeed impossible to fully unleash the power of the Heavenly Puppets. But Yang Kai always felt that things were not that simple.

“When the Thousand Leaves Sect was destroyed, what about the disciples of the Thousand Leaves Sect？” Yang Kai asked nervously.

The man replied, “Some died, some escaped. I’m afraid not many survived. However, it is said that some people were captured, and among the captured people, there seems to be a Star Master from a lower plane Star Region!

“Is this true？” The fine light in Yang Kai’s eyes burst out.

The man smiled bitterly and said, “How dare I deceive you, sir? There are many people in the Star Boundary who came from the lower Star Regions, but there are not many people who are Star Masters. It is said that to become a Star Master, one must refine the origin of a star. I don’t know what kind of virtue and ability that guy has to be lucky enough to obtain a complete origin of a star. Although his cultivation level is not high, his future is bright. This matter was also the news released by the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect. If not for this, how could it have become known to everyone in the Southern Region?”

“What are they releasing this news for？” Yang Kai asked with a strange expression on his face, and his urgent mood also calmed down a lot.

The Star Lord mentioned by this person, if there is no accident, should be Ai Ou.

Since Ai Ou is fine, then Chi Yue and the others may also be fine. Of course, this is just the most ideal guess, and it is also possible that the others have encountered misfortunes.

“What else can they do? Naturally, it is to spread the news for an auction. To let adults know that the Streaming Shadow Sword Sect is preparing to hold an auction in Streaming Shadow City in a month. The items to be auctioned are those Heavenly Puppets of the Thousand Leaves Sect, as well as that Star Lord.”

“That Star Lord can also be auctioned？” Yang Kai was Stunned .

The man smiled bitterly and said, “Sir, you’re joking. That Star Lord has a complete Star Source in his body. If it can be stripped and transferred to a talented disciple in the sect, then this disciple’s future will surely be limitless, and naturally it will attract people’s flocking.”

After hearing him say this, Yang Kai suddenly remembered that when he first entered the Starlight Passage and encountered Yin Lesheng, Yin Lesheng seemed to be extremely interested in the Star Source in his body and also said that there was a secret method that could strip and transfer it.

Now it seems that this is not Yin Lesheng’s random talk.

A complete Star Source has an extremely important effect on a warrior’s cultivation. Since this is the case, then Ai Ou’s life must be safe now. Yang Kai is instead worried about Chi Yue and them.

“In a month, Streaming City?” Yang Kai muttered to himself, already having a plan in mind.

Now that Thousand Leaves Sect has been destroyed, and a year has passed, no matter how urgent he is, it is useless. At this point, he can only play it by ear.

“One last question, where is Thousand Leaves Sect, and where is Streaming City?” Yang Kai looked at that person and asked in a deep voice.

That person didn’t dare not answer and obediently pointed in two directions.

After a long while without getting a response, when he looked up again, that young man had long since disappeared. A sense of surviving a narrow escape emerged in his heart. Only then did this person discover that his entire body of clothes was soaked in sweat, and he was like someone fished out of a lake.

In the void, Yang Kai and Eagle Fly were flying side by side at a lightning-fast speed.

Seemingly sensing that Yang Kai’s mood was not good, Eagle Fly also didn’t dare to disturb him casually, only secretly thinking that someone was probably going to have bad luck this time.

Yang Kai dared to destroy a behemoth like Asking Love Sect in the Northern Territory. Now that this Streaming Shadow Sword Sect has provoked him, I’m afraid it won’t end well either.

After a long silence, Eagle Fly said, “Young Master Yang, I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that something is not quite right about this matter.”

Yang Kai slightly nodded and said, “I also felt it. Where does the Demon King think something is wrong?”

The so-called onlookers see most clearly. Before, he was intent on probing the news of Thousand Leaves Sect and Chi Yue and others, and didn’t think much about it. Now that he is flying in the air and being blown by the cold wind, his mind has cooled down, and he has noticed many flaws.

When Ying Fei mentioned this again, he immediately understood that it was not that he was suspicious but that something was really wrong.

Ying Fei said upon hearing this： “Since the Thousand Leaves Sect was wiped out a year ago, why is this auction only being held today？ If they really had this intention, they should have started the auction long ago. Not only that, this matter seems to have been deliberately made a big fuss, as if spreading the news to someone, and this one-year period is the time for the news to ferment. Someone is afraid that this news will not be transmitted.”
