Chapter 2976
byTen days later, Yang Kai leisurely appeared in a city.
Over these days, he also figured out where he was.
The Western Region！
In the Star Boundary, the relatively most desolate and barren Western Region.
He had come to the Star Boundary for so many years and had never set foot in the Western Region. Unexpectedly, this time when he escaped from the Wheel of Reincarnation Realm, he actually came here by chance. He didn’t know if it was fate.
Ten days ago, after leaving that oasis, Yang Kai went to slay a large beast monster. That beast monster was of the twelfth rank, comparable to an ordinary Second-Order Emperor. It seemed to have regarded the people on that oasis as food to be raised, and would go to devour one or two people from time to time. Even if the people living on the oasis wanted to escape, they were powerless. Anyone who dared to leave the area within ten miles of the oasis would die without a burial place.
A twelfth-rank beast monster was a terrifying nightmare for those people, but it was nothing to Yang Kai.
Casually eliminating it as a favor, Yang Kai didn’t return to that oasis either, but left directly. He believed that after some time, the people on the oasis should discover that the large snake that had been causing trouble and chaos had been slain.
He chased all the way here, but didn’t find any trace of Zhu Qing and her younger brother.
Presumably, the two of them should have already returned to Dragon Island or gone to his Lingxiao Palace. With this thought in mind, Yang Kai no longer hurried on his way. Along the way, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, experiencing the unique local customs and practices in the Western Region, he was rather leisurely and carefree.
Rarely coming to the Western Region, Yang Kai also wanted to find a secluded place here to set up a cross-domain spatial fǎ zhèn . In this way, it would be much more convenient for him to come to the Western Region in the future.
However, after looking for these days, he still hadn’t found a suitable place, which couldn’t help but make him feel helpless.
Although the Western Region is relatively desolate and barren compared to the other three regions, it is only relatively speaking. There are still many famous mountains and great rivers, and cultivation holy places with rich spiritual energy.
The famous Shadow Killing Palace is located in the Western Region. The Shadow Killing Palace is the hegemonic sect in the Western Region and also a Great Emperor Sect. Its founder is the terrifying Night Shadow Great Emperor.
Compared with other Great Emperor Sects, the Shadow Killing Palace is undoubtedly the most mysterious one. Because even the martial artists native to the Western Region don’t really know where this Great Emperor Sect is located and how many people are inside. But this doesn’t prevent the Shadow Killing Palace from having a supreme position in the hearts of the martial artists in the Western Region.
If the Star God Palace is the holy place in the hearts of the martial artists in the Southern Region, then the Shadow Killing Palace has the same weight in the hearts of the martial artists in the Western Region.
The Great Emperor is already the strongest among the strong. A Great Emperor who is jīng tōng in hiding and assassinating is even more terrifying. There is a rumor in the Western Region that there is no obvious distinction between the strengths of the Great Emperors. But if you ask them to name the most feared opponent, then there is no one else but the Night Shadow Great Emperor.
This kind of honor is not something that ordinary people can obtain.
The city is not small. Yang Kai directly found a tavern and went in. He found a table by the window and sat down. The waiter immediately came over enthusiastically to greet him： “Guest officer, what would you like to order？”
“Is there any Sword Wine？” Yang Kai asked.
The diàn xiǎo èr chuckled and said, “Guest officer, you’ve really come to the right place. In this little Star City, there are thousands of taverns, but only ten sell Sword Wine. Fortunately, our small shop is one of them.”
Yang Kai waved his hand heroically and said, “First, bring a hundred jars to moisten my throat！”
What makes the Western Region famous in the world is not only the Shadow Killer Hall and the Night Shadow Great Emperor, but also the Sword Wine brewed by a place called the Wine Sword Villa. The brewing of this Sword Wine is extremely complicated, takes a long time, and requires the assistance of a strong person jīng tōng in the jiàn dào to integrate his own jiàn dào perception into the wine. Each jar is extremely precious.”
However, this Sword Wine is of great benefit to martial artists. Long-term consumption can improve cultivation, especially for martial artists who practice the jiàn dào , it is even more helpful and can help martial artists understand the jiàn dào .
Precisely because of the existence of this Sword Wine, there are generally many more strong people who use swords in the Western Region than in the other three regions.
When Yang Kai and Zhu Qing first met, Zhu Qing had been pestering him, which made Yang Kai extremely annoyed. In order to get rid of her harassment, Yang Kai asked her to go to the Western Region to get some Sword Wine to taste. It was just a diāo nàn at first, but unexpectedly, Zhu Qing really got the Sword Wine.
Recalling the initial unfamiliarity and exclusion, and now the fact of being husband and wife, Yang Kai couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. He only lamented that the way of heaven is unpredictable, and everything follows a cycle of cause and effect, and the fate is in oneself.
Zhu Qing probably didn’t expect that the two of them would eventually end up like this.
Now that he had personally arrived in the Western Territory, the first thing Yang Kai thought of was the Sword Wine. If he could obtain a large quantity of this stuff and bring it back, it would also be beneficial to the future development of the High Heaven Palace. Presumably, the strength of his relatives and friends on the Dark Star was not high. When the time came to bring them to the Star Boundary, with the assistance of the Sword Wine, their cultivation would surely be much easier.
Perhaps he could make a trip to the Wine Sword Villa and find a way to reach a cooperative relationship with them. After all, he was a Great Emperor Pill Master. As long as he could meet the requirements over there, he believed that the Wine Sword Villa would not reject his proposal.
As various thoughts flashed through his mind, a chī xiào suddenly came from a table beside him： “Where did this bumpkin come from? The Sword Wine is such a fine brew, and yet he actually wants a hundred jars. He really doesn’t know his place.”
Yang Kai turned his head and looked over there, only to see a zhuàng hàn with his chest bared and his nipples exposed, looking at him sarcastically. This zhuàng hàn had a garlic nose and a toad’s mouth, and was extremely ugly. He wore a string of skull necklaces around his neck. The skulls were made of some unknown beast bones, each as big as a fist, exuding a cold and sinistersmell, which further accentuated his ferocity.
Although his appearance was not so good, what surprised Yang Kai was that this zhuàng hàn actually had the cultivation base of a Second-Order Emperor Senior.
There were also two other people sitting at the same table as the zhuàng hàn , both of whom had the cultivation base of a First-Order Emperor Senior.
This discovery caused Yang Kai to frown slightly. According to his observation, this so-called Dianxing City shouldn’t be too large of a city. There was no reason for there to be so many Emperor Senior Stage cultivators here.
And in fact, aside from these three people at this table who were all Emperor Senior Stage cultivators, there seemed to be two other Emperor Senior Stage cultivators in this great hall. Divine thoughts quietly surged, all vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Yang Kai clearly felt that there was something amiss. These Emperor Senior Stage cultivators seemed to be waiting for something here.
When their gazes met, that zhuàng hàn slapped the table and said sternly, “What are you looking at? I’m talking about you, this bumpkin！”
He has a really bad temper！ Yang Kai secretly smiled and didn’t bother to argue with him. Instead, the two Emperor Senior Stage cultivators at the same table lián máng said, “Lord Xiong, don’t be angry. Why bother with this country bumpkin? Let’s talk about the important matter at hand.”
“That’s right, that’s right.” The other person lián máng chimed in.
When the zhuàng hàn with the surname Xiong heard this, he snorted coldly. Yang Kai’s showing weakness seemed to make his vanity explode. He bǐ yí dì looked at Yang Kai, picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, with a look of pride on his face.
Seeing that a storm had just arisen and then stopped, the waiter beside him broke out in a cold sweat and carefully looked at Yang Kai and said, “Is the guest official from afar？”
“Good eyesight, young man！” Yang Kai smiled lightly and didn’t deny it.
Generally speaking, the waiters who work in such a bustling environment will develop extremely sharp eyes. They can basically figure out a person’s identity with just a glance. Moreover, there are some slight differences in his attire compared to the warriors in the Western Region, and he also looks travel-worn. If the diàn xiǎo èr couldn’t even notice these, it would seem too unqualified.
The diàn xiǎo èr smiled and said, “Then it can’t be blamed on the guest. Let the guest know that this Sword Wine can only be produced by the Wine Sword Villa under the heaven. The annual output is limited. Although our shop sells Sword Wine, the quantity is not much. So as for a hundred jars or something… our shop really can’t come up with it.”
Yang Kai understood and asked, “How many jars can I buy？”
The diàn xiǎo èr embarrassedly said, “One jar.”
“Only one jar！” Although Yang Kai had some psychological preparations, he was still surprised. It seems that the Sword Wine is not something that can be drunk casually even in the Western Region. I really don’t know where Zhu Qing got it at that time. He didn’t care too much and nodded, “One jar is one jar. I want the best kind.”
As soon as these words came out, the zhuàng hàn next to him sneered again, “The best Sword Wine is something you can drink? Don’t you even take a piss and look at yourself? You really don’t know how ugly you are.”
The other person at that table also sneered and said, “When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. Why should Lord Xiong care about him?”
The zhuàng hàn shook his head and said, “This seat most looks down on these embroidered pillows who think they are graceful but have no ability at all except for their appearance. This kind of person, this seat will beat one when seeing one, and beat a pair when seeing two.”
Yang Kai turned a deaf ear and just looked at the diàn xiǎo èr and said, “What’s the deal？”
The diàn xiǎo èr became even more embarrassed and explained, “The sword wine is divided into three grades, upper, middle and lower. The small shop usually sells only the lower and middle grades of sword wine to the guests. The upper grade sword wine is one jar a day, and it is only available through auction.”
“It needs to be auctioned！” Yang Kai showed a suddenly realized expression, knowing that this is a means for the tavern to attract customers. Rare goods are available, so he immediately asked, “Today’s auction…”
“It has been auctioned in the morning.”
Yang Kai nodded and pondered for a while and said, “Then bring a jar of the middle grade.”
“Alright, sir, you wait a moment！” Seeing that Yang Kai was so easy to talk to, the diàn xiǎo èr also heaved a sigh of relief, responded and turned to leave.
Yang Kai turned his head and looked out the window, looking at the people flowing like a shuttle below, and became even more eager to go to the Wine Sword Villa.
Just at this time, some soft whispers came into his ears. One person said, “This time, the Wind and Cloud Pavilion has really bled a lot. They have issued a wanted order. Whoever can kill that little girl can get a reward of ten million top-grade source crystals. If she can be captured alive, it will be even more bù dé le , a reward of a full twenty million top-grade source crystals.”
The voice came from the table next to them. The three of them were all at the Emperor Venerable Realm. They thought they were speaking very quietly and wouldn’t be heard by others, but they didn’t know that Yang Kai’s divine sense was powerful and could hear every word clearly no matter how soft the sound was.
The reward of ten million or twenty million top-grade Source Crystals was enough to make these Emperor Venerable Realm cultivators unable to resist. After all, for a top sect like the Li Long Palace in the Northern Territory, the annual income was only fifty million top-grade Source Crystals, and this was the income of the entire sect. Distributed to individuals, it was even less.
In comparison, ten or twenty million top-grade Source Crystals seemed a bit terrifying.
