Chapter 2699
by“Is it done？” Hua Yulu asked.
“Naturally！” Yang Kai nodded.
Hua Yulu was astonished. Originally, when she heard Yang Kai say that expelling the Gu worms would consume a great deal of effort, she thought it would be a big deal. It turned out to be just a matter of dozens of breaths, and Yang Kai didn’t even use much strength at all.
“Young Master Yang’s business is really a lucrative one.” Hua Yulu was extremely impressed. Thinking about the dozens of Emperor Senior Stage cultivators behind, Yang Kai would earn two or three hundred million or even more High-Grade Source Crystals just this time.
This is simply robbing money.
“It’s just a small fuss, just earning a little hard-earned money.” Yang Kai chuckled and raised his hand to signal: “Please ask Sister Hua to call the next person in. Well, let them follow the order. Whoever dares to snatch, don’t blame this young master for not giving face.”
Got it.” Hua Yulu gracefully rose to her feet, thanked him, and then turned to walk outside. After taking a few steps, she turned her head and said, “If Young Master Yang has leisure time in the future, please do come and visit my Hundred Flowers Palace. Your sister will surely welcome you with open arms！
Hundred Flowers Palace! Yang Kai had heard of it for the first time. However, there were quite a few sects in the Southern Region, so it was normal for him not to have heard of it. He had seen many Hundred Flowers Buildings though. It seemed that there was a Hundred Flowers Building in many cities of the Southern Region. As for what was inside that building… TSK TSK…
After seeing off Hua Yulu, Yang Kai sat in his original position and pondered for a while. Suddenly, he raised his hand and fiercely hammered his chest.
Pfft…
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Yang Kai’s expression suddenly became listless, as if he had just gone through a great battle.
A person pushed the door open and entered, smiling obsequiously. Just as he was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Yang Kai in this state, he was greatly shocked and said, “Lord Yang, what… what’s wrong with you?”
Yang Kai said weakly, “It’s nothing. You sit down. I’ll help you expel the insect now.”
The man was overjoyed, but still worriedly said, “Do you want to take a rest? I can wait.”
Yang Kai was fine just now, but now he was spitting blood and looked listless, obviously because expelling the insect had consumed too much of his energy.
“It’s okay. Sit down when I tell you to sit down.” Yang Kai waved his hand and said, “With the insect in your body, you won’t feel at ease either. It’s better to expel it as soon as possible.”
This person listened and was suddenly extremely grateful. He obediently presented a spatial ring containing over ten million top-grade source crystals. Yang Kai put it away and immediately began to do the same as before.
……
Half a day later, Yang Kai’s figure flickered and he appeared in the previous chamber. He was in high spirits and had a ruddy complexion. There was no sign of the previous listlessness at all.
Everyone was waiting.
Seeing his appearance, they all surrounded him one after another.
Yang Kai swept a glance and looked at Ye Hen, saying, “Sect Master Ye, what are your plans now？”
Ye Hen sighed and replied, “Let’s go back to Thousand Leaves Sect first and then make plans.”
“That’s fine.” Yang Kai nodded.
Although Thousand Leaves Sect was destroyed, it was after all the home of Ye Hen and the others. They had been imprisoned for more than a year. Now that they had regained their freedom, they naturally had to go back and take a look. What’s more, there were still several hundred surviving disciples in Emperor Heaven Valley who needed to be resettled.
“I and the Demon King will see you off. Coincidentally, I have something to discuss with Sect Master Ye.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble Lord Yang and the Demon King.” Ye Hen looked grateful, thinking that Yang Kai was specifically seeing them off. With these two escorting, there was no need to worry about encountering any danger along the way.
Everyone immediately set off, left Streaming Shadow City, and flew southward all the way.
“Yang Kai, I have something to say to you.” On the way, Zhu Qing suddenly transmitted a voice.
This dragon girl has been following along all the time. I don’t know what her intentions are. Anyway, she doesn’t have much ill will towards me, so let her follow. Yang Kai doesn’t have the heart to drive her away.
“What？” Yang Kai turned his head to look at her.
Zhu Qing’s figure came to a halt and stopped in place.
Yang Kai furrowed his brows and waved his hand to let Ying Fei lead the others to go ahead first, and he also stayed behind.
After the figures of the crowd disappeared, Yang Kai said, “What’s the matter that is so mysterious？”
Zhu Qing said, “You killed the elder of the Star God Palace. Aren’t you worried at all？”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Are you worried about me？”
Zhu Qing pouted and said, “I have no kinship with you. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me.”
“Then why do you ask this?” Yang Kai looked at her with great interest.
Zhu Qing’s expression was a little uncomfortable, and she averted her gaze and said, “No matter what mistakes that elder of the Star God Palace made, his identity is still there. Now that you have suddenly killed him, I’m afraid the Star God Palace will not let it go easily. Moreover, this matter involves a wide range of aspects, and you can’t hide it even if you want to. The Star God Palace will definitely track it down to you.”
“I didn’t mean to hide it either.” Yang Kai smiled slightly.
The main reason why he didn’t kill those twenty or thirty Emperor Senior Realm experts was to let them give a confession to facilitate the investigation by the powerhouses of the Star God Palace. Otherwise, if those people really all died, then whatever he said would be just his one-sided word and not enough to be believed.
Now it’s different. The statements of those twenty or thirty Emperor cultivators are unified. Even if the Star God Palace really investigates, it can’t be blamed on Yang Kai.
Of course, if they really want to protect their own, there’s nothing to be done about it either.
“You’re not worried at all？” Seemingly not believing Yang Kai, Zhu Qing turned her head to look at him, trying to see some signs of insincerity on his face.
Yang Kai laughed loudly and said, “As people of our generation, we act with joy and hatred. If we worry about this and that, what’s the point of living？”
Zhu Qing looked at him in astonishment, not knowing what to say.
After being stunned for a while, she said, “I suggest you find a place to hide for a while.”
Yang Kai sneered and said, “Someone said the same thing before.”
Hua Yulu had previously advised him to hide in the Frozen Earth Forbidden Area in the Northern Region. Now Zhu Qing actually said the same thing.
The Star God Palace is after all a Great Emperor Sect. If they really come to find trouble with me, although the Star Boundary is vast, I’m afraid there won’t be a place for me to hide. I won’t hide! Yang Kai continuously waved his hand.
“How could there be no place to hide？” Zhu Qing smiled slyly. “I know there is a place in this world where you can hide. Even if the Bright Moon Great Emperor comes in person, he won’t be able to find your trouble.”
“You don’t mean Dragon Island, do you？” Yang Kai looked at her sideways.
Zhu Qing nodded and said, “It is precisely Dragon Island.”
“Tsk tsk…” Yang Kai smacked his lips twice, touched his chin, and suddenly walked around Zhu Qing once.
“What are you doing？” Zhu Qing was being looked up and down by his eyes, feeling extremely uncomfortable and couldn’t help but tighten her clothes.
“I’m just curious…” Yang Kai stood still in front of her and grinned, “You’ve gone to great lengths several times to get me to go to Dragon Island. What’s your ulterior motive！”
The last time she said she wanted to go to Dragon Island herself. At that time, her performance wasn’t too obvious and Yang Kai didn’t pay much attention. This time when the old topic was brought up again, Yang Kai saw some clues.
Could this little girl be thinking that since she can’t beat me, she wants to fool me to go to Dragon Island and then call a group of brothers and sisters to gang up on me?
Sure enough, the most poisonous is a woman’s heart！
“What ulterior motive could I have!” Zhu Qing’s eyes flickered a few times and she avoided Yang Kai’s gaze. Her behavior of three hundred taels made Yang Kai even more convinced that there was something fishy going on.
“That’s hard to say…” Yang Kai shook his head and said seriously, “Maybe you have a crush on me and want to abduct me back and do whatever you want！”
“You… you’re talking nonsense！” Zhu Qing was so angry that her nose was crooked. She had never seen such a shameless person before.
Yang Kai laughed loudly and turned around to chase after Ying Fei and the others.
“You wait!” Zhu Qing was in a hurry and frustrated in her heart. Why didn’t the method teach by the elder work at all? Originally, she thought that with her words, Yang Kai would immediately be grateful and follow her to Dragon Island to avoid the limelight. Who knew that this guy didn’t take killing the elder of the Star God Palace seriously at all.
It seems that this task of mine is arduous and has a long way to go. When on earth can it be completed?
……
The Thousand Leaves Sect is in ruins, with broken walls and rubble everywhere.
Ye Hen and the others flew over it, all looking sad and feeling touched by the scene.
Moments later, everyone arrived at Emperor Heaven Valley. Yang Kai activated the spatial array of Emperor Heaven Valley and let everyone enter it.
When reuniting with the remaining several hundred disciples, Ye Hen shed tears of sorrow. He felt that he had failed to live up to the high expectations of many ancestors and blamed himself deeply. The huge foundation, now only Emperor Heaven Valley is still intact. Even with the nine Heavenly Puppets in hand, Ye Hen didn’t know how to rebuild the sect for a moment.
Yang Kai wandered around in this Emperor Heaven Valley, and Zhu Qing followed him like a shadow, like a bone-attached maggot. He couldn’t get rid of her no matter how hard he tried. From time to time, she would persuade him to go to Dragon Island, which made Yang Kai extremely annoyed.
If it weren’t for the fact that she really had no malicious intentions towards him, Yang Kai would have already punched her unconscious and done that first and then that！
“What on earth are you looking for by walking around？” Zhu Qing followed Yang Kai for most of the day and almost ran through the entire Emperor Heaven Valley several times. Finally, she couldn’t help but ask.
“Men are doing things, women shut up！” Yang Kai ignored her and finally cast his gaze on the location of the valley and nodded slightly.
Zhu Qing’s face turned pale with anger. She stomped her foot, turned around and flew away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
“What a big temper.” Yang Kai glanced at her back and sneered.
With a sweep of his spiritual thoughts, he detected the position where Ye Hen was. Under the fluctuation of the Space Principle, Yang Kai immediately appeared beside Ye Hen.
“Lord Yang！” Ye Hen hurriedly stood up.
Yang Kai waved his hand, indicating for him to sit down and talk, and then said, “Has Sect Master Ye considered what to do in the future？”
Ye Hen let out a long sigh and said, “There are so many things to consider that I don’t know where to start. However, after this experience, I have understood one thing.”
“I’m all ears！” Yang Kai stared at him.
“An ordinary man is innocent, but his possession of wealth can be his downfall! Ye Hen said dejected. “Although my Thousand Leaves Sect has nine Heaven Puppets, unfortunately, there is no Emperor Senior Stage expert in the sect, and we simply can’t unleash the full power of the Heaven Puppets. Even if I have the intention to make the Thousand Leaves Sect rise again, with our current manpower and situation, I’m afraid it will only invite disaster.”
Yang Kai nodded and said, “So Sect Master Ye plans to first improve his strength？”
Ye Hen said, “That’s exactly my plan. Fortunately, the spiritual energy in this Emperor Heaven Valley is rich. If I have three to five years, I should be able to promote to Emperor Senior. By that time, when I come out of seclusion, I will at least have a certain power of self-protection.”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Sect Master Ye has considered everything thoroughly.” Pausing for a moment, Yang Kai said, “However, I have another suggestion. I wonder if Sect Master Ye would like to listen to it.”
