Chapter 2697
by“Young Master Yang！”
“Lord Yang！”
Seeing the light again, the many Emperor Senior Stage cultivators were both surprised and delighted. Turning their heads and seeing Yang Kai, they all cupped their fists and saluted. Although no one knew how much younger Yang Kai was than them and his cultivation was not much higher either, based on his performance a few days ago, no one dared to disrespect him.
The beautiful woman in palace attire who knew Xia Sheng even flew lightly in front of Yang Kai and gracefully curtsied： “This concubine, Hua Yulu, greets Young Master Yang.”
Yang Kai nodded and asked： “How did those few people get injured？”
Hua Yulu pursed her lips and smiled, with a charming expression, and said in a low voice： “Those friends probably couldn’t wait and wanted to come out from inside, but their strength wasn’t enough, so…”
Yang Kai let out an ‘oh’ and understood in his heart.
He had suppressed them for many days. Anyone would probably feel uneasy in their hearts, not knowing how Yang Kai would finally deal with them. Naturally, they would try to find a way to come out. But after all, the Mountain and River Bell was a prehistoric treasure. How could it be broken by them? After exerting their strength, they were probably backlashed by the power of the Mountain and River Bell.
Hua Yulu looked around and saw no other figures. There were traces of the great battle everywhere. Looking at Yang Kai again, his aura was calm and he had no injuries at all. She was slightly shocked and said in a low voice： “Young Master Yang, where did that Elder Tan go？”
Everyone also looked over curiously, eager to know the answer. Previously, when they were suppressed by the Mountain and River Bell, Yang Kai and Tan Junhao had already torn off their masks and were bound to have a great battle. After the Mountain and River Bell suppressed them, they didn’t know what had happened outside. Now seeing Yang Kai safe and sound, an unbelievable thought couldn’t help but emerge in their hearts： Could that Elder Tan have been beaten away？
That’s not possible. Tan Junhao is aElder of the Star God Palace and has a powerful cultivation base of the Third-Order Emperor Realm. Even if Yang Kai is remarkable, he shouldn’t be his opponent, not to mention that Tan Junhao had previously set up a formation here and had the power of the formation to assist him.
“That old dog Tan Junhao reversed right and wrong, was cruel by nature, and spoiled the reputation of the Star God Palace in the name of the Star God Palace. Although he was aElder of the Star God Palace, he was actually a cancer of the Star God Palace and a disgrace to the Southern Region. He has already been executed on the spot by this young master.” Yang Kai laughed heartily. He himself clapped his hands and said, “This is really gratifying and worth celebrating, gratifying and worth celebrating！”
Everyone was stunned, with their eyes wide open, looking at Yang Kai stupidly, and no one responded.
Yang Kai’s face sank. He said, “Why, do you all not believe this young master？”
Seeing that he showed signs of anger, everyone was shocked in their hearts and repeatedly said that they didn’t dare. It’s just that this matter is not that they didn’t dare to believe it, but that it was too incredible.
If it were Tan Junhao standing in front of them now, saying that he had killed Yang Kai, that would still be a reasonable outcome. But it was Yang Kai who was alive and well standing here and Tan Junhao was nowhere to be seen.
Moreover… What’s there to celebrate about this matter? After all, he is aElder of the Star God Palace. How many such elders are there in the entire Star God Palace? Now that he has died here, it’s simply a big deal. Once the Star God Palace investigates, I’m afraid none of the people present can get rid of the relationship.
Although they are at the Emperor Venerable Realm, they are still timid in the face of a behemoth like the Star God Palace.
Hua Yulu forcefully squeezed out a smile, no longer showing any charming posture, and asked cautiously, “Young Master Yang, is that Elder Tan really… killed by you?
“So what if I killed him? There’s no need to deceive you. Not only him, but also that Wu Ming is dead.” Yang Kai replied freely and easily, without the slightest hesitation.
Only then did everyone believe him.
After all, there is no need to lie about this matter. Killing a Star God Palace elder is not a good thing. It might bring trouble to oneself. Yang Kai doesn’t look stupid. Why would he take the initiative to get into trouble?
For a while, their awe of him increased by three points.
Since he can even kill a Star God Palace elder, how high has this young man’s strength reached？ In this world, is it possible that only the Great Emperor can suppress him？
“Young Master Yang, you killed Elder Tan. This matter is troublesome.” Hua Yulu’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed, showing a worried expression. No matter what Tan Junhao did before, his status is there. Now that he died at the hands of Yang Kai, the Star God Palace will definitely investigate.
“Lord Yang, this matter has nothing to do with us. We simply don’t know what exactly happened later.
“That’s right, that’s right. Lord Yang, we have no intention of going against the Star God Palace.”
“We just came to participate in the auction. We don’t know anything else.”
A group of Emperor Venerable Realms, as if they had encountered a disaster, shouted in a hubbub.
How could Yang Kai not know what they were worried about? He sneered in his heart. If it weren’t for the fact that he had killed Tan Junhao, none of these people would probably have survived. As aElder of the Star God Palace, Tan Junhao actually used the Heart-Piercing Gu to control so many Emperor Venerable Realms. Once the matter was exposed, the Star God Palace would definitely not tolerate him. So he would surely kill people to silence them and then frame the name of the murderer on Yang Kai.
At that time, he might have become a great hero who killed demons and eliminated evils and avenged the many Emperor Venerable Realms in the Southern Region.
It’s ridiculous that these people are now eager to distance themselves from the matter, but they are completely unaware of their life-saving grace.
Yang Kai didn’t need them to be grateful anyway. Since he already knew the fickleness of the world, how could he have expectations?
“Young Master Yang, you should leave quickly. The farther the better. You can’t stay in the Southern Region anymore.” Hua Yulu suddenly secretly transmitted a message to Yang Kai. “You go to the Northern Region. I heard that there is a forbidden area called Frozen Soil over there. Even the Great Emperor doesn’t dare to go deep easily. If there is any place in this world where you can take refuge, it is only that place.”
Yang Kai looked at Hua Yulu in surprise. Unexpectedly, she was a bit different from the others. At least she knew to care about him.
“It’s okay!” Yang Kai threw a smile and turned his head to shout, “Shut up, all of you! What are you arguing about!”
The shouting Emperor Respect Realms suddenly fell silent.
Yang Kai said in a deep voice, “Everyone, don’t worry. This young master will take responsibility for what he has done. Tan Junhao was killed by me. If the people from the Star God Palace come to investigate in the future, you don’t need to hide anything. Just tell the truth, and I will never implicate you.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was overjoyed.
“Lord Yang is truly of noble character and high integrity. This old man admires him.”
“Thank you, Lord Yang. If there is really such a day, we will definitely not hide anything.”
“That old thing Tan Junhao deserves to die. Lord Yang killed him to clean up the house for the Star God Palace, so there is naturally no mistake.”
Hearing that Yang Kai was willing to take the blame, everyone felt relieved and smiled one after another. There was no longer the previous worry.
“Stop flattering.” Yang Kai snorted. “This time, this young master has also saved your lives. This young master doesn’t need you to return the favor, but there is only one request！”
“Lord Yang, please speak. As long as you have an order, we will never disobey!” An old man clasped his fists and said.
Yang Kai said that he had saved everyone’s lives, and it was not an exaggeration. Everyone knew this well. However, Yang Kai put it so bluntly that many people felt a bit embarrassed and had a sense of ingratitude for no reason.
“Now that Tan Junhao is dead, the Star God Palace will definitely investigate. If it really comes to you all, I hope you can report everything that happened that day in detail, especially the Heart-Piercing Gu！”
Everyone nodded and said, “Naturally.”
Hua Yulu also said, “Young Master Yang, don’t worry. Even if you don’t order this matter, we won’t hide anything. As aElder of the Star God Palace, Tan Junhao actually had such malicious intentions. If it weren’t for Young Master Yang’s efforts to turn the tide, I’m afraid we would have already died. The kindness of saving our lives should be repaid with our lives. If anyone dares to distort the facts and slander wantonly, we will never let them off lightly.”
“Never let them off lightly.” The crowd shouted loudly, with a rather united and enemy-hatred flavor.
“Very good.” Yang Kai nodded in satisfaction and clasped his hands, saying, “Then I’ll have to trouble you all.”
“Dare not, dare not.”
After saying this, everyone also understood in their hearts that if they really unified their claims and reported the facts even if the Star God Palace really came to investigate, I’m afraid they wouldn’t do anything to Yang Kai and them.
In the end, it was Tan Junhao who had aroused public anger. As a elder of the Star God Palace, instead of safeguarding the reputation of the Star God Palace, he enslaved so many Emperor Senior Stage cultivators with evil methods. No matter how you look at it, he brought about his own destruction.
Maybe the Star God Palace will really be grateful to Yang Kai.
Of course, this kind of thing will definitely not be put on the surface. How it will be dealt with in the end is also a matter for the Star God Palace, and there is no need for them to worry about it.
“Since that’s the case, then everyone can leave.” Yang Kai waved his hand.
When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and quickly clasped their fists and turned to leave. Although Yang Kai had no intention of making things difficult for them, this young man was too cruel and killed people like cutting grass. Staying with him always felt insecure. It was better to stay away from him, otherwise, a great disaster might befall them at any time.
“Sister Hua, please stay！” Yang Kai suddenly called out to Hua Yulu.
Hua Yulu heard his interesting address and couldn’t help but smile sweetly, saying, “What else does Young Master Yang have to instruct?”
Yang Kai said, “Since you are friends with Senior Brother Xia Sheng, then you are also my friend. Let me help you remove the Heart-Piercing Gu for you, so as to avoid any future troubles.”
When Hua Yulu heard this, her small mouth opened slightly and her jade hand covered her red lips, looking surprised and delighted.
She was just thinking that although she had managed to escape this time, there was still a Heart-Piercing Gu remaining in her body. After she returned, she should find a way to get rid of it. However, she had never even heard of the Heart-Piercing Gu before and simply didn’t know how to expel it.
She never expected that just as she was dozing off, Yang Kai would send a pillow right to her.
What a considerate person…
Swish, swish, swish…
Those Emperor Senior Stage cultivators who were about to leave this place also stopped in their tracks one after another. Each of them turned their heads, perked up their ears, and even more people immediately turned around and flew back, landing in front of Yang Kai with flattering smiles on their faces as they said, “Lord Yang, you just said… that you can expel that Heart-Piercing Gu？”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Yang Kai looked at him seriously and shook his head like a rattle.
The man became anxious and said, “Lord Yang, this… this… I heard it clearly. You just said that you were going to help this Palace Master Hua expel the Heart-Piercing Gu.”
Yang Kai turned his head to look at Hua Yulu and asked curiously, “Did I say that？”
Hua Yulu didn’t know what Yang Kai was planning and naturally couldn’t answer. She just pursed her lips and giggled, not saying a word, keeping that person’s appetite in suspense.
