Chapter 2948

It turns out that his guess was correct. When he cast the first Fire Snake Technique, he indeed had a slight resonance with the Sacred Tree and established some sort of mysterious connection. Repeating the casting later made this connection even stronger.

That’s why he was able to receive the protection of the Sacred Tree and perform the Talisman Core and the’sacred art’ that Goat Beard recognized.

The so-called sacred art is nothing more than a sorcery empowered by another force.

Everyone in the Human Emperor City believes that the Sacred Tree protects the imperial family, so the imperial family is inviolable here, enjoys many privileges, and no one can resist. But in fact, perhaps it is because in the Human Emperor City, only the imperial family are witches and can establish resonance and connection with the Sacred Tree, and thus mobilize the power of the Sacred Tree.

Besides the imperial family, no one else can cultivate sorcery at all, or rather, they are prevented from cultivating sorcery.

This should be a means of control by the Human Emperor City.

The only thing Yang Kai couldn’t figure out was what exactly the Sacred Tree was and why it would protect witches and be usable by them.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, but Yang Kai couldn’t find an answer for the time being. Unless he could see the so-called Sacred Tree with his own eyes. But how easy was that？ Since the Sacred Tree was so special and important, it must be under the key protection of the Human Emperor City. For an outsider like him to want to see it was probably more difficult than ascending to the sky.

He put his mind on the skinny bamboo pole in front of him and smiled and said, “Let me guess. The eldest prince and the third prince have both appeared. Could you be someone of the second prince？ No, no. You should not be someone of the second prince. Although I don’t even know if there is such a person as the second prince.”

The skinny bamboo pole’s expression was silent, and he said lightly, “How can you tell？”

His voice was just like his thin body, sounding very dry, as if he hadn’t drunk a sip of water for decades.

Yang Kai snorted and said, “Since ancient times, there has been no family affection in the royal family. The princes must be fighting openly and secretly. If you were really someone of the second prince, you would probably wish that the eldest prince would die as soon as possible and be reborn earlier. How could you be so kind as to save him？ The spirit pill you gave him just now was not bad.”

“So that’s the case. It seems you have some powers of observation.” The skinny bamboo pole nodded slightly. “You’re right. I’m not someone of the second prince.”

“Then whose person are you？” Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and asked.

The skinny bamboo pole said, “Ordered by the Human Emperor, please come with me to the palace！”

“The Human Emperor！” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Zhu Qing and said, “Madam, do you think we should go or not？”

Zhu Qing said, “It’s up to you to decide.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly and chuckled. “First, let me ask. I hit the eldest prince. Will the Human Emperor do anything to me？”

The skinny bamboo pole said, “The thoughts of the Human Emperor, as a subordinate, I don’t dare to guess. I just act according to orders. Please come with me, both of you！”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and made an inviting gesture.

Yang Kai said to Zhu Qing, “It seems we have to go there. Coincidentally, I also have some questions to ask them.”

“Then let’s go.” Zhu Qing nodded.

“Lead the way ahead！” Yang Kai jerked his chin at the thin bamboo pole.

The thin bamboo pole didn’t say a word. With a flicker of his figure, he flew towards a certain direction, and Yang Kai stepped forward to follow.

The little black dog ran out from who knows where, barked for a while, and then jumped into Zhu Qing’s embrace.

This guy had disappeared without a trace when the fight was going on just now. Now that the battle is over it actually appeared immediately.

The Human Emperor City is extremely large. Obviously, the thin bamboo pole is also a person of noble status because Yang Kai had noticed before that there was a five-leaf symbol on his clothes.

The five-leaf symbol is far inferior to that of the Great Prince and the Third Prince, but it is also a symbol of nobility. According to what the goat-bearded man said before, only those with a six-leaf body have the qualification to mobilize the power of the Holy Tree and perform the all-crushing Holy Technique.

The difference between five leaves and six leaves is only a hair’s breadth.

Yang Kai estimated that in this Human Emperor City, as long as they are truly the imperial relatives, they should at least have a six-leaf body. Like the thin bamboo pole, although his cultivation is profound, he doesn’t have the royal bloodline. Five leaves is the peak, and there is no possibility of further improvement.

He was at the Third-Order Emperor Senior Realm. Outside, he would definitely be the master of a top sect or a powerful figure in a region. But in this Human Emperor City, he was just a servant at someone else’s beck and call.

In this Human Emperor City, the distinction between commoners and the powerful was made by whether one had leaves or not, and the difference between the true nobility and their underlings was determined by the number of leaves. This was a means of control. Yang Kai didn’t agree with it, nor did he want to criticize it.

He just felt that the Human Emperor was so nepotistic and really stingy. His first impression of the Human Emperor had deteriorated a lot.

The reason why the Human Emperor would summon him was probably because he could communicate with the Holy Tree and drive its power. His appearance and actions had shaken the foundation of the Human Emperor’s rule.

He was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, Youdaoplaceholder0 layers of ripples on the lake surface and attracting the attention of the overlord in the lake.

Yang Kai estimated that if he refused the Human Emperor’s summons, he would immediately face the exclusion and pursuit of the entire Human Emperor City. So no matter what, this summons couldn’t be refused. Since it couldn’t be refused, he could only go with the flow.

However, this trip would definitely not be peaceful, and he needed to be more cautious.

In the Human Emperor City, only the powerful had the right to fly in the air. No matter how high their cultivation level was, those without leaves had to walk honestly on the ground.

The thin bamboo pole had a five-leaf body and seemed to be a powerful figure beside the Human Emperor. Naturally, he had the right to fly. He flew all the way, and the guys coming head-on all backed away one after another.

The identities of those powerful and wealthy people are not as high as that of the thin bamboo pole.

Yang Kai quickly noticed that six-leaf bodies are very rare. At least, he didn’t see a single one along the way. Most of those powerful and wealthy people are below three leaves, and the number of people above three leaves is extremely small.

In this comparison, the five-leaf body of the thin bamboo pole appears to be lofty. The only difference between him and the eldest prince and the third prince is that he cannot mobilize the power of the sacred tree.

Because he is not from the royal family, he cannot cultivate witchcraft and cannot receive the blessing of the sacred tree.

The imperial palace is located in the center of the Human Emperor City. There are numerous palaces, covering a very large area. It is exactly the direction where Yang Kai previously felt the source of resonance and also the direction where the sacred tree provides power.

Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the sacred tree is located. However, he saw that it was hazy over there, as if being covered by some powerful formation making it impossible for people to peek into the internal situation. What blocked his divine sense peek before should be these formations.

Soon, the thin bamboo pole flew downward and landed in front of a palace. That palace is extremely magnificent and seems to have a long history. Standing outside the palace, a desolate and ancientsmell rushed towards him, “as if” tells the passage of time.

Yang Kai’s expression became solemn.

The thin bamboo pole handed the eldest prince, who had been held in his hand, to the guard standing outside the palace and turned around and said, “You two go in. The Human Emperor is inside.”

Yang Kai smiled and said, “There won’t be any traps, will there？ Are there hundreds of ax-wielding soldiers lying in ambush inside, just waiting for the two of us to go in and chop us up in a frenzy.”

The skinny bamboo pole said expressionlessly, “Is this a joke from the outside world？ It doesn’t sound very funny.”

Yang Kai shrugged and said, “That’s because you have no sense of humor.”

The skinny bamboo pole said, “The Human Emperor is supreme. If he really wants to deal with you, there’s no need for any traps.”

Yang Kai pouted and said, “We’re all at the Emperor Senior Stage. What are you bragging about？” Then he stepped into the great hall.

The skinny bamboo pole pointed at the little black dog in Zhu Qing’s arms and said, “Leave the beast behind.”

The little black dog barked at the skinny bamboo pole, obviously a little annoyed. “Woof！”

Zhu Qing shook her head and said, “Little Wang won’t stay behind.”

The skinny bamboo pole stepped forward and blocked the way of the two of them, saying, “The Human Emperor’s Palace isn’t a place that just anyone can enter, let alone a beast. Please don’t make things difficult for me.”

Yang Kai sneered and said, “You said the Human Emperor summoned my wife and me. Now you’re blocking us here. Give us a straight answer as to whether we can go in or not.”

The skinny bamboo pole opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but then he suddenly tilted his head and listened, obviously someone was transmitting a message to him.

After a moment, he stepped aside and gave up the path.

Yang Kai smiled slightly and said, “This is the way to treat guests.” Then he walked forward side by side with Zhu Qing.

From the outside, the interior of the Human Emperor’s Palace appears dark, as if nothing can be seen, but once inside, it is brightly lit. Youdaoplaceholder1 of huge pillars stand around, as if reaching the sky and connecting to the earth. night pearls are dotted around, and the soft light shrouds the entire hall.

Pairs of eyes suddenly sweep over from all around.

Yang Kai raises his brows, somewhat unexpected that there are so many people in this Human Emperor’s Palace. His gaze sweeps over and quickly discovers a familiar figure in the crowd. He greets with a smile and says, “Hello, Third Prince. We meet again so soon. Thank you for taking care of us before.”

The Third Prince snorts coldly, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

All the people in the hall are existences with six leaves or more. In other words, they are all real imperial relatives and powerful great witches. They are of different ages, both male and female.

There are not many with nine leaves. There are only two. Besides the Third Prince, there is also a beautiful woman in her early thirties. The two stand at the very top of the hall, just below the dragon chair, and the others are arranged in sequence on their sides.

Slightly to Yang Kai’s surprise, this beautiful woman actually has the cultivation base of the second level of Emperor Respect.

There are more than twenty witches, with uneven cultivation bases. Among all the people in the hall, not a single one is at the third level of Emperor Respect.

And above, there is a huge dragon chair, which is big enough for a person to lie on without feeling cramped. On the dragon chair, a slightly obese middle-aged old man is sitting upright. He doesn’t look very tall, and when sitting on the dragon chair, he is round and looks a little ridiculous.

But the aura emanating from him surprised Yang Kai.

Before coming here, he had been secretly speculating about the cultivation base of the Human Emperor.

The special situation in the city made him understand that here, as long as one can communicate with the Saint Tree and mobilize the power of the Saint Tree, it is the greatest reliance, and one’s own cultivation base is secondary.

So he vaguely guessed that the cultivation base of the Human Emperor should not be too high, not reaching the level of a Great Emperor.

Precisely because of this, he was able to come to this Human Emperor’s Palace with confidence and boldness to meet the Human Emperor.

If the other party was really a Great Emperor, he might not even have a chance to resist.

But now that he has seen the Human Emperor, Yang Kai realizes that he was too naive. This Human Emperor is not a Great Emperor, and not even a Third-Order Emperor Venerable.

The aura emanating from him is actually only at the Second-Order Emperor Venerable level！ And it is extremely unstable.
