Chapter 2750
by“As for what things to buy and sell, we also have to carefully consider it. Don’t end up not making a profit but losing money instead.”
Hua Qingsi said, “I will personally go to the Southern Territory to investigate this matter.”
If this matter is successful, it will be related to the future plan of Lingxiao Palace！ Although Yang Kai is now as rich as a country and the Li Long Palace and Mi Tian Sect also owe Lingxiao Palace a huge debt, if a sect wants to last for a long time, it must have its own business.”
Yang Kai didn’t stay in Lingxiao Palace for a long time and returned to the Southern Territory the next day.
Several days later, Yang Kai looked at the continuous mountain range in the distance, his figure speeding like the wind.
That mountain range was precisely the Qingyang Mountain Range. He was going to pay a visit to the Qingyang Shrine. Although he only had a nominal status in the Qingyang Shrine, after all, he had the Qingyang Gold Token. Both Wen Zishan and Gao Xueting attached great importance to him. Now that he had returned to the Southern Territory, it was only reasonable and proper for him to go back to the Shrine and take a look.
In addition, he also had to enter the Divine Wander Mirror once to inform Tian Yan that he had found the Life-Birth Fruit, this good news.
Originally, he had planned to refine the Life-Birth Pill himself, but now that he had Ji Ying as a helper, the matter of refining the Life-Birth Pill was naturally entrusted to Ji Ying. Before leaving, Yang Kai had left all the medicinal materials in the Lingxiao Palace. He believed that he could get the Life-Birth Pill the next time he went back.
As long as there was the Life-Birth Pill, then Tian Yan could reshape his physical body get rid of the shackles of the Divine Wander Mirror, and descend upon the Star Boundary, becoming a solid backing for the Lingxiao Palace.
With a Great Emperor-level powerhouse as a backer, the Lingxiao Palace would become a Great Emperor Sect even if it wasn’t one already. By then, its status would definitely not be inferior to that of the Star God Palace and the Nether Ghost Palace.
Suddenly, Yang Kai’s figure paused, lingering in the void. He coldly looked to the side and said in a deep voice, “Which friend is being sneaky? Why not show yourself and meet me?”
As he spoke, a ball of light suddenly burst out in the void over there. The light was so dazzling that Yang Kai couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. When the light dissipated, two heroic and extraordinary figures were revealed.
One was a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and no beard. His expression was imposing even when not angry. The other was a young man who looked about the same age as Yang Kai. He was handsome and had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. The two of them looked somewhat similar in appearance, as if they were father and son.
The middle-aged man was okay, with a plain gaze. However, when the young man looked at Yang Kai, there was a eager fighting spirit in his eyes.
“Lord Xiao！” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows.
Xiao Yuyang said, “You are Yang Kai？”
“That’s right.” Yang Kai nodded and looked at the young man with a smile. “Brother Xiao, it’s been a long time since we parted in the Broken Star Sea. Are you okay？”
These two people were the people from the Star God Palace, and Yang Kai recognized them both.
The young man Xiao Chen needless to say, Yang Kai had dealt with him many times, always following beside Princess Lan Xun, playing the role of a flower protector. And his father, Xiao Yuyang, was also one of the first batch of Emperor Venerable Realm cultivators that Yang Kai had seen after coming to the Star Realm. At that time, Xiao Yuyang was a Silver Star Envoy of the Star God Palace, with a cultivation level as high as the Second Layer of the Emperor Venerable Realm, an existence that Yang Kai had to look up to. He could blow Yang Kai to death with just a single breath.
Over the years, Xiao Yuyang’s aura seemed even more robust, clearly having reached the level of the Third-Order Emperor Senior！ As for Xiao Chen, his cultivation was not weak either. At the First-Order Emperor Senior level, it seemed that he had reaped quite a bit in the Broken Star Sea back then.
These two people suddenly appeared here and happened to block Yang Kai’s path. Their intentions were already obvious.
Star God Palace’s elder Tan Junhao and deacon Wu Ming were killed. During this period of time, Star God Palace had been constantly investigating this matter. After much investigation, it naturally led to Yang Kai. But Yang Kai’s recent whereabouts had been somewhat erratic. Even though Star God Palace was a great emperor-level sect with many informants, they still couldn’t quite grasp his movements.
A few days ago, they received a message from a disciple named Luo Ping, saying that he had seen Yang Kai in Fenglin City.
Xiao Yuyang then rushed over without stopping. Now, Xiao Yuyang was also one of the elders of Star God Palace. With his outstanding cultivation, him coming personally wasn’t really giving Yang Kai face. It was just that from the information Star God Palace had obtained, both Tan Junhao and Wu Ming had died at Yang Kai’s hands. With such a fierce battle record, if someone with a lower cultivation level came, they were afraid it wouldn’t have much effect. Only a Third-Order Emperor Senior could get the job done.
Because of the matter of Tan Junhao, several Third-Order Emperor Senior elders of Star God Palace had all set out, searching everywhere for Yang Kai’s whereabouts.
Xiao Yuyang knew that Yang Kai was a disciple of the Qingyang Divine Hall and secretly thought that since Yang Kai had appeared in Fenglin City, there was a possibility that he would return to the Qingyang Divine Hall. Therefore, he had lain in ambush here. Facts had proved that his speculation was correct. After waiting here for half a month, he finally caught Yang Kai red-handed.
Upon hearing Yang Kai’s words, Xiao Chen sneered and said, “Who are you? Do I know you?”
He had a look of looking down on everyone with his nostrils facing the sky, as if he had a strong sense of superiority when facing anyone.
After several contacts, how could Yang Kai not know his nature? So he just smiled slightly and didn’t get angry. Instead, he looked at Xiao Yuyang and said, “I wonder why Lord Xiao is blocking my way?”
“You still dare to play dumb？” Xiao Chen was furious and pointed his long sword at Yang Kai. “Don’t you know what good deeds you have done yourself？ Pretending here！”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “I don’t understand what Brother Xiao is talking about.”
Xiao Chen said with a sullen face, “Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand？”
Yang Kai ignored him and just looked at Xiao Yuyang, which made Xiao Chen furious.
Xiao Yuyang had his hands behind his back, and his face was calm, but in his heart, he was quite amazed. Before this, he was extremely unfamiliar with Yang Kai. He only vaguely remembered that there was a person in the Dao Source Realm who had refined a furnace of Taomiao Pills and had made a great name for himself. That person was called Yang Kai.
He didn’t know anything else. In the past few days, he also carefully inquired about Yang Kai’s affairs from Xiao Chen and only then discovered that this young man was quite remarkable. The various things he had done were extremely difficult even in his opinion. His own son could also be considered a dragon among men, but when compared with the other party, he seemed to pale in comparison.
At this moment when they met face to face, Xiao Yuyang’s evaluation of Yang Kai rose another level.
He was aElder of the Star God Palace and had the cultivation base of the Third-Order Emperor Senior Stage. A young man at the First-Order Emperor Senior Stage like him actually showed no sign of fear when facing him, but instead talked freely and calmly.
Were Tan Junhao and Wu Ming really killed by him？ Doubts filled Xiao Yuyang’s heart. Yang Kai’s strength was here, and Tan Junhao and Wu Ming were not made of mud. How could they possibly die at his hands？
But judging from the inquiries made by the Star God Palace during this period and the confessions of those twenty-odd Emperor Senior Stage cultivators, even if the deaths of Tan Junhao and Wu Ming were not caused by Yang Kai, they were definitely related to him.
“Tan Junhao, Wu Ming！” Xiao Yuyang didn’t say much, only reporting two names. A pair of eyes stared at Yang Kai’s eyes, as if trying to see into the depths of Yang Kai’s heart to capture even the slightest psychological fluctuation.
Yang Kai raised his brow and said, “So it’s about this matter… Well, if Lord Xiao is here to inquire about these two people, this junior can tell Lord Xiao that these two people were killed by me.”
He admitted it very straightforwardly without any intention of covering up.
“Nonsense！” Xiao Chen had a look of contempt and sarcasm on his face, clearly not believing it.
“It is said that there is a powerful Monster King by your side？” Xiao Yuyang said meaningfully. “Where is that Monster King？”
Yang Kai shook his head and said, “The Monster King is not here.”
Xiao Yuyang said, “Yang Kai, you are also a talented person. This Seat doesn’t want to make things difficult for you. You tell this Seat the whereabouts of that Monster King, and then come with me to the Star God Palace.”
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and said, “Does Lord Xiao think that Tan Junhao and Wu Ming died at the hands of the Monster King？”
“Is there any other possibility？”
Yang Kai laughed heartily and kept shaking his head. He never expected that no one would believe him even when he told the truth. After pondering for a moment, his expression turned solemn, and he said, “As aElder of the Star God Palace, Tan Junhao represents the Star God Palace and the Great Emperor. He should have protected the martial artists in our Southern Region. However, in Liuying City, he acted in reverse, controlling many Emperor Senior Realm experts with despicable means and ordering those Emperor Senior Realm experts to be enemies with me, trying to snatch treasures from me. In anger, I killed him, which can be regarded as cleaning up the family for the Star God Palace. I don’t ask the Great Emperor and the Star God Palace to be grateful to me, as long as they don’t come to trouble me. But today, Lord Xiao is blocking my way here. If this is the attitude of the Star God Palace, then I, Yang Kai… am very disappointed with the Star God Palace！”
“How the Star God Palace does things is none of your business to dictate！” Xiao Chen coldly snorted.
Xiao Yuyang nodded and said, “The Star God Palace has basically found out the details of the matter. Tan Junhao was immoral, bullied the weak, and damaged the reputation of the Star God Palace. He deserved to die. If you really killed him, then the Star God Palace will have no objection. However, if he died at the hands of a Demon King… things will be different. Do you understand？”
Yang Kai said impatiently, “The Demon King didn’t take action. Didn’t those Emperor Senior Realm experts tell you about these things？”
Xiao Yuyang said, “They did say so, but it’s hard to believe. So you need to come back to the Star God Palace with me. I promise that no one will do you any harm. As long as you tell me where that Demon King is.”
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and said, “I’m sorry, I can’t agree to this request of yours, Lord Xiao.”
“You don’t trust me…” Xiao Yuyang’s brows furrowed slightly.
Yang Kai said, “I have no kinship or acquaintance with you, so how can I trust you？”
“When the conversation doesn’t go well, half a sentence is too much. Father, there’s no need to waste words with him. Let the child make a move and capture him.” Xiao Chen had been eager to try for a long time. At this moment, he finally couldn’t help it. With a flick of his long sword, the sound of rang out. and at the same time, the sword light was wanton. He fitted rushed towards Yang Kai and snorted coldly “Just because you’ve been promoted to Emperor Venerable, you think you’re so amazing. Today, let you see the difference between you and me.”
The Emperor’s will filled the air, and the sword intent reached the sky. The hissing sound continued. Xiao Chen’s expression was solemn, and he chanted in a low voice, “The plum hidden in the snow emits fragrance naturally, and the slanting moon rides and crushes the mirror-like long sky！”
As soon as he made a move, it was a very powerful killing move, and the sword momentum was beautiful, making people dizzying.
Yang Kai laughed heartily and said, “I’ll return the original words to you！”
With a strange gesture of reaching out with one hand, he slapped towards the center of the overwhelming sword momentum.
Xiao Yuyang had originally seen his son to perform this sword move and had a hint of admiration in his heart. But when Yang Kai made this move, his face changed.
