Chapter 2655
by“Brother Yang！” Although Du Xian wasn’t as emotional as Ye Jinghan, he also excitedly cupped his fists with a passionate expression.
Because as long as Yang Kai came, then they would have a chance to leave here and not be trapped and die in this Emperor Heaven Valley for a lifetime. Although Thousand Leaves Sect was wiped out for no reason and the enemy’s strength was powerful as the eldest senior brother of the younger generation of Thousand Leaves Sect, he had the responsibility and obligation to avenge the sect.
To take revenge, the first thing was to improve strength, and the second was to leave here.
Improving strength was his own business, but to leave here, he could only rely on Yang Kai.
“Miss Ye, Brother Du…” Yang Kai nodded slightly and sighed, “Please restrain your grief.”
He didn’t know what else to say. Anyone who suffered the disaster of their family being wiped out probably wouldn’t be in a very good mood, and he also understood Ye Jinghan’s loss of composure.
After a few words of conversation among the three people, the disciples of Qianye Sect who didn’t know the truth saw the clue. Soon, bursts of discussion sounded, and everyone also guessed Yang Kai’s identity.
Because after hiding here, Du Xian had told them not to be disheartened and not to give up easily. They still had a chance to leave here and a chance to avenge their sect, as long as they waited for a person named Yang Kai to come.
Now that this person named Yang Kai has come, many disciples of Qianye Sect have cheered up one after another, and their eyes looking at Yang Kai are full of enthusiasm.
“Are all the people here？” Yang Kai’s gaze swept around, and he didn’t see the person he wanted to see. Although it was within his expectations, he still couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
There are not many people in Qianye Sect who escaped from this calamity. At most, there are only five hundred people. Now they are all gathered in this valley, and their cultivation levels are also uneven. There are only a few less than ten people in the Dao Source Realm.
“Young Master Yang, please come in and talk！” Ye Jinghan’s emotions recovered a little. She wiped the corner of her eyes and gestured with her hand.
Yang Kai nodded and walked towards that cave. Ying Fei followed closely behind, and his aura was not revealed, making it impossible for people to see his depth.
The cave had been renovated. Ye Jinghan, Du Xian and others had lived here for more than a year, harboring the ambition of revenge and working hard to cultivate, hoping that one day they could kill their enemies with their own hands.
There was no furniture in the cave, and several people sat on the ground. Besides Yang Kai and Ying Fei, there were only Ye Jinghan and Du Xian. It seemed that among the surviving disciples of Thousand Leaves Sect, only they two had the highest cultivation bases and statuses.
“What exactly happened？ I only heard that Thousand Leaves Sect was wiped out by Streaming Shadow Sword Sect. Is this true or false？” Yang Kai asked.
Ye Jinghan and Du Xian looked at each other. The former nodded slightly, and the latter then said, “What Brother Yang heard is correct. The one who wiped out our Thousand Leaves Sect is indeed Streaming Shadow Sword Sect.”
“It is rumored outside that it is because of the existence of the Heavenly Puppet that Streaming Shadow Sword Sect was tempted by profit. Is this also true？”
Du Xian said angrily, “Streaming Shadow Sword Sect mainly cultivates the Sword Dao and is to ask the sword.” Even if our Thousand Leaves Sect had the Heavenly Puppet, how could it make them. There is also a mastermind behind this matter!
Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and said, “What do you mean by this？”
Ye Jinghan and Du Xian looked at each other again, as if they had something to say but hesitated.
Yang Kai said, “There is nothing that cannot be said. Since I have come here, naturally I have to investigate this matter clearly. Among Thousand Leaves Sect, there are also my friends.”
When Du Xian heard this, he then said, “Brother Yang… Do you still remember that Hua Qingsi？”
Yang Kai frowned: “Sister Hua?”
How could he not remember Hua Qingsi? But from the meaning in Du Xian’s words, it seemed that the destruction of the Thousand Leaves Sect had something to do with Hua Qingsi. This inevitably made him suspicious. Moreover, after parting ways with Hua Qingsi in the Broken Star Sea, they had never seen each other again.
Yang Kai also didn’t know where Hua Qingsi had gone.
Sister Hua knew quite a few of his secrets, especially those regarding the Little Mysterious Realm. However, he felt that Hua Qingsi was a trustworthy person, so he gave her freedom and even didn’t hesitate to give her a precious Supreme Wonderful Pill.
Du Xian said, “After the end of the Broken Star Sea, that Hua Qingsi suddenly came to the Thousand Leaves Sect. It is said that she had an agreement with Brother Yang and would wait for Brother Yang in the Thousand Leaves Sect.”
Yang Kai nodded and said, “That’s right. There was indeed such a thing.”
On the day when he parted ways with Hua Qingsi in the Broken Star Sea, Yang Kai had said that if she couldn’t find him in the future, she could go to the Thousand Leaves Sect to wait because Chi Yue and the others were still in the Thousand Leaves Sect, and he would definitely go back to the Thousand Leaves Sect.
Now it seemed that Sister Hua had indeed kept her promise. After coming out of the Broken Star Sea, she came to the Thousand Leaves Sect.
Du Xian’s expression was strange as he said, “Then does Brother Yang know the true origin of this Lady Hua？”
Yang Kai replied, “A disciple of the Star God Palace.”
This wasn’t a secret. He had known it for a long time. Hua Qingsi was precisely ordered by her master to go to Fenglin City to investigate the cause of death of a deserter of the Star God Palace, Han Leng, when she encountered Yang Kai. As a result, she was captured by Yang Kai into the Little Mysterious Realm and became his soul slave.
Du Xian was astonished and said, “Brother Yang actually knows？”
He had thought that Yang Kai knew nothing about this matter. Who would have known that Yang Kai was as clear as a mirror in his heart. He originally thought that Hua Qingsi had taken advantage of Yang Kai, so he had been hesitant to speak. But now it seemed that things were not as he had thought.
It made him not know what was going on now.
Yang Kai furrowed his brows and said, “Brother Du, if you have something to say, just say it directly. I trust Sister Hua’s character. The matter of Qianye Sect should have nothing to do with her.”
If he didn’t trust her, Yang Kai wouldn’t have let her go free. The soul seal was in his hand, controlling her life and death at any time.
Du Xian pondered for a moment before opening his mouth and saying, “Brother Yang, when that Lady Hua returned to Qianye Sect again, she was already an Emperor Venerable. However, she said that she had an appointment with you in advance and wanted to wait for you in Qianye Sect. So the Sect Master invited her to stay in the sect. During this period, she got very close to several guest elders such as Chi Yue.”
Hua Qingsi naturally knew the relationship between Chi Yue and others and Yang Kai. There was naturally no problem with them being close to each other. Moreover, during the trip to Broken Star Sea, Hua Qingsi had indeed also advanced to Emperor Venerable and did not fail the Taimiao Pill that Yang Kai had given her.
“At first, everything was peaceful. Our Thousand Leaves Sect regained many lost secrets, and with an Emperor Senior like Lady Hua staying as a guest and safeguarding the sect, it was naturally flourishing.” A hint of reminiscence emerged on Du Xian’s face, as if he was missing that period of time. “Unfortunately, as the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes. Suddenly, one day, a very powerful expert came to the Thousand Leaves Sect, and it was to look for Lady Hua. Although we couldn’t see through that person’s cultivation, he was definitely an Emperor Senior.”
“No one knew what that person and Lady Hua exactly said, but it was also at that time that we learned that Lady Hua was actually a disciple of the Star God Palace, and even a disciple under a certain elder of the Star God Palace.”
“After that person left, the Sect Master went to pay his respects to Lady Hua, but Lady Hua’s was nowhere to be found. No one knew where she had gone. However, everyone thought that since Lady Hua was from the Star God Palace and her cultivation was at the Emperor Senior level, I’m afraid no one would dare to make things difficult for her. Naturally, no one took this matter to heart. But just one month after that incident, the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect suddenly attacked our Thousand Leaves Sect for no reason and wiped out our Thousand Leaves Sect.”
Yang Kai listened for a long time before finally saying with a sullen face, “So you’re guessing that this matter has something to do with Sister Hua? How is this related?”
Du Xian said, “It’s not just speculation. Because when our sect was in trouble, the powerful person who had come to look for Lady Hua also made a move. I caught a distant glimpse of that person. Although I couldn’t see clearly, the figure couldn’t be wrong. That person is definitely at the Second-Order Emperor Senior Stage. If not for that, how could our Thousand Leaves Sect be wiped out even with all the Heavenly Puppets out?”
Ye Jinghan nodded beside and said, “That’s right. I also saw that person. Most of our Thousand Leaves Sect’s Heavenly Puppets were subdued by that person, so we couldn’t resist the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect！”
After hearing this, Yang Kai’s face looked ugly. He thought to himself that no wonder the Thousand Leaves Sect wasn’t an opponent even with the Heavenly Puppets. It turned out that a powerful person at the Second-Order Emperor Senior Stage had intervened. But… what exactly was going on.
If the powerful person at the Second-Order Emperor Senior Stage was from the Star God Palace, then they just needed to look for Hua Qingsi. Hua Qingsi was also a disciple of the Star God Palace and hadn’t betrayed the sect. She just failed to complete the task assigned by her master. There was no reason to wipe out the Thousand Leaves Sect under false pretenses in a fit of anger.
In the dark, Yang Kai always felt a sense of conspiracy.
Looking up at Du Xian, Yang Kai said, “Could the mastermind that Brother Du mentioned before refer to…”
He pointed his finger upwards.
Du Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I don’t know, but the Flowing Shadow Sword Sect had no reason to trouble our Thousand Leaves Sect for no reason. They must have been instigated by someone.”
He had previously suspected Hua Qingsi and the Star God Palace, but upon careful consideration now, if the Star God Palace really wanted to harm the Thousand Leaves Sect, there was no need to go through so much trouble. The Star God Palace was the overlord of the Southern Territory, a Great Emperor Sect, and could easily crush the Thousand Leaves Sect.
For a while, everyone fell silent.
“Young Master Yang, since you came in from the outside, have you heard any news about my father？” Ye Jinghan looked at Yang Kai nervously.
Yang Kai shook his head and said, “I have only just returned to the Southern Territory soon and only know the general situation. I don’t know the specific details. Isn’t Sect Master Ye dead?
Ye Jinghan was on the verge of tears and said, I don’t know. Father sent us into the Emperor Heaven Valley that day and then destroyed the spatial array outside. We don’t know what happened outside in the end.”
Du Xian said, “The master originally wanted to send several guest elders like Chi Yue in as well, but they didn’t agree. Instead, they fought with defended the sect with the other disciples. Now… their lives and deaths are unknown.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly. Each of Chi Yue and the others was an overlord in the Hengluo Star Field. Although they couldn’t fully exert their abilities after coming to the Star Boundary they had received a lot of care after entering the Thousand Leaves Sect. When the Thousand Leaves Sect was in trouble, with their dispositions, they naturally wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.
“You don’t have to worry about their matters. Since they did this, whether they live or die is their choice.” Yang Kai let out a long sigh. Now he could only be sure that Ai Ou was still alive, and he didn’t know the lives and deaths of Chi Yue Ghost Ancestor and Gu Cangyun, which made him worried.
Standing up, he said, “A month later, the Liuying Sword Sect will hold an auction in Liuying City. The item to be auctioned is exactly the Heavenly Puppets of your Thousand Leaves Sect. Do you want to go and take a look?”
“What？” Both Ye Jinghan and Du Xian were greatly shocked.
Yang Kai sneered and said, “This auction is the key. As long as we go there, the truth will be revealed.”
