Chapter 391

Huo Xingchen nodded slightly： “Why do you need to say it? Besides, I’m not angry either. It seems that I haven’t been this happy for a long time. Such small fights really can’t satisfy this young master’s appetite anymore！”

After a pause, he added, “By the way, do you have that much money on you？”

The two masters of the Huo family were both embarrassed and slowly shook their heads. Who would carry several million taels of silver with them when they went out for no reason?

“Owing someone money is not a good thing.” Huo Xingchen pinched his chin and muttered to himself.

In the main hall of the Zhujie Gang, Yang Kai sat cross-legged on the ground, condensing his true essence and hitting his bottleneck.

After an hour, the restraint in his body suddenly broke and the tumbling true essence in his body slowly subsided. His realm took a step forward and reached a new realm.

True Yuan Realm, Eighth Layer！

At the moment of breakthrough, Yang Kai seemed to see a lotus flower shining with colorful brilliance, flashing past his eyes.

Five-Colored Warm Divine Lotus！

Ever since he got it, Yang Kai had never seen it again. Although he knew that it existed in his mind and had been continuously nourishing and warming his spiritual consciousness, because he hadn’t opened up his spiritual sea, he could never see it with his own eyes.

Now that such a situation has occurred, it makes Yang Kai overjoyed. He can’t help but guess whether his spiritual sea is about to be initially formed, so he can see it for a moment.

Yang Kai only had a rough understanding of the strength of his spiritual consciousness.

It was not weaker than that of an ordinary Divine Movement Realm Layer 8 martial artist. Basically, it was equivalent to the spiritual consciousness strength of a Divine Movement Realm Layer 9 expert. This was only the situation in the True Yuan Realm. If he could really be promoted to the Divine Movement Realm, then with the protection of the spiritual sea, to what extent would the power of his spiritual consciousness increase？

He was becoming more and more expecting for the upcoming great realm.

The Divine Movement Realm had always been the ultimate threshold for martial artists. In this world, apart from a very small number of people who could break through the Divine Movement and reach a higher realm, most of the remaining martial artists could only reach the height of the Divine Movement Realm in their entire lives.

Entering the Divine Movement Realm meant that a martial artist had embarked on the path of a strong person. In order to achieve this goal, countless martial artists cultivated forgetfully, explored day and night, and pursued hard.

Some people even lived in the deep mountains and old forests all year round just to understand the true meaning of power and peek into the mysteries of the realm from them.

However, most martial artists were still blocked outside this threshold for their entire lives, sighing helplessly and regretting for a lifetime.

But even if one was lucky enough to break through to the Divine Movement, there were still nine layers in the Divine Movement Realm, and the martial way was still long and far-reaching, not to mention that there was still a realm above that was not understood by the world.

After breaking through to the True Yuan Realm Layer 8, Yang Kai did not immediately get up.

Instead, he sat in the same place and slowly realized and understood the changes that this new realm brought to him.

Having been washed and refined by the Myriad Medicine Spiritual Liquid, every breakthrough can bring some relatively obvious changes to Yang Kai. At the very least, he now feels much stronger than before the breakthrough.

This is an indescribable feeling. If it really has to be compared, it is that the current self can easily defeat the self before the breakthrough.

One day later, Yang Kai slowly opened his eyes. His eyes shone with brilliant light. After being silent for a long time, he stood up.

He opened the door of the palace and stepped out.

Outside the palace, more than a dozen people were divided into two columns and were eagerly looking forward. Seeing Yang Kai come out, they all quickly saluted： “Subordinates have met the young master！”

Yang Kai swept his eyes and couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

He found that the few people standing on the left were several high-ranking members of the Bamboo Knot Gang led by Pang Chi, and those standing on the right were several high-ranking members of the Mysterious Light Society led by Mu Nandou. Wu Qian, who had fought against Pang Chi and others before and even almost killed Pang Chi, was also conspicuously present.

The people on both sides lowered their heads and respectfully greeted, but there was a touch of helplessness on Mu Nandou’s face. In contrast, Pang Chi was beaming with joy and even had a feeling of elation.

Yang Kai frowned and looked at Mu Nandou suspiciously. “Why are the people of your Mysterious Light Society still here?”

Mu Nandou quickly said, “Reporting to Young Master Kai, from now on, all the members of the Xuanguang Association will follow the orders of the young master！”

What’s the situation? Yang Kai was even more puzzled.

“Young master, it’s like this.” Seeing this, Pang Chi quickly stepped forward and explained to Yang Kai.”

After he entered the main hall to close up and break through last night, Huo Xingchen and those two experts pooled together the banknotes on their bodies and only managed to get out several hundred thousand taels of silver.”

At that time, seeing that Huo Xingchen’s complexion was not good, Pang Chi suggested that he write an IOU. Anyway, he was the young master of the Huo family, and they were not afraid that he would renege on the debt.”

It was originally a good intention, but unexpectedly, Huo Xingchen was unwilling no matter what, and even beat up Pang Chi.”

Finally, after thinking about it, he mortgaged the entire Xuanguang Association over here！”

After giving Mu Nandou an order to submit to Yang Kai, Huo Xingchen led the two experts of the Huo family and swaggered away, leaving only a group of people from the Xuanguang Association dumbfounded.”

The more than 1,000 people in the Xuanguang Association can be regarded as a small force developed by Huo Xingchen himself, used to relieve his boredom on weekdays. Now it is actually transferred like an item, and Mu Nandou and the others naturally feel sour in their hearts.”

Even if they are more bitter and unwilling, Mu Nandou dare not have the slightest complaint and can only lead a group of people to stand here and wait for Yang Kai to come out.”

After Pang Chi finished speaking, Mu Nandou’s heart couldn’t help but rise. He secretly observed Yang Kai’s reaction and expression, wanting to know how he would arrange them.

Unexpectedly, Yang Kai remained silent and his expression was extremely calm. It was completely impossible to know what he was thinking.

Mu Nandou couldn’t help but feel a little scared and quickly said, “Actually, Young Master Kai, you didn’t suffer a loss when Young Master Huo did this.”

“How do you say that？” Yang Kai looked at him.

Mu Nandou was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that he had said the right thing. He quickly said, “Over the years, the Xuanguang Society has also accumulated a lot of wealth. If it is mortgaged, it is enough to compensate for the losses of last night.”

“How much is there？”

“There are several million taels. Over the years, Young Master Huo has also bestowed some, and they have all been saved up.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly and suddenly asked, “How does your Xuanguang Society compare to other forces in Zhongdu？”

“It’s not as good as the top, but better than the bottom.” Mu Nandou forced a smile. “It’s not a very big force.”

“What if it merges with the Zhujie Gang？”

“Then it can definitely become one of the top fifteen forces.” Mu Nandou was full of confidence.

“Then merge them. From now on, there will be no more Xuanguang Society！” Yang Kai looked at Pang Chi. “This person will be your deputy from now on！”

“Yes！” Pang Chi was overjoyed. Although Mu Nandou had a bitter face, he didn’t dare to have any complaints and could only force a smile.

Just one Mysterious Light Association has accumulated so much wealth. Yang Kai suddenly realized that he might have underestimated these small forces a little. Not every small force is as impoverished as the Bamboo Knot Gang.

Grinning, Yang Kai said, “I want you to get familiar with each other as soon as possible, and then… go and encroach on those small forces whose strength is inferior to yours.”

“Ah！” Pang Chi couldn’t help but be shocked. Mu Nandou, however, had a normal expression.

“This… this isn’t appropriate, is it？” Pang Chi was a little hesitant. Over the past few years, their Bamboo Knot Gang had never had any ideas about others and had mainly focused on self-preservation. Suddenly having to turn into robbers, it was inevitable that Pang Chi would hesitate.

“What do you think？” Yang Kai took a look at Mu Nandou.

The latter quickly said, “There’s nothing inappropriate about it. It’s just the law of the jungle. If it weren’t for Young Master Kai’s sudden appearance last night, the Bamboo Knot Gang would already be gone. In Zhongdu, this kind of struggle and encroachment between small forces is very common. Your concept, Pang Chi, is too old-fashioned.”

Pang Chi’s face turned red from being told off. After stammering for a while, he couldn’t say anything.

“It seems that your Xuanguang Association often does this kind of thing.” Yang Kai looked at Mu Nandou with profound meaning. The latter smiled awkwardly and said, “Mainly to accompany Young Master Huo to relieve boredom. So far, it has only been done twice. However, the forces that can be nibbled away have all been inquired by me. Just wait for the day when Young Master Huo is bored again, and I will lead him to watch the excitement, hehe…”

Now that there is a new master’s family, Mu Nandou naturally intends to perform well. Seeing that Yang Kai is quite interested in this, he immediately talked a lot.

Pang Chi immediately realized the bad. If he let Mu Nandou continue to talk, the position of the leader of the gang might not be his anymore. He immediately stated, “With the help of Brother Mu, I think we can indeed go and nibble away at others.”

“Then do it like this.” Yang Kai nodded and made a decision. “Of the obtained wealth, leave a part for your own development, and the rest, all exchange it for the materials for alchemy and weapon refining for me. The grade must at least be of the top grade of the Earth Rank.”

“Yes！” Pang Chi and Mu Nandou replied respectfully. Looking at each other, they knew that Yang Kai was going to prepare for the battle for the throne.

Not daring to be negligent, they excused themselves and led their respective men into the main hall to plot.

Standing in the same place and thinking for a while, Yang Kai smiled in surprise. He didn’t expect Huo Xingchen to do this.

But it’s not a loss either. The number of people he can use has increased, and in the future, it will only grow bigger and bigger like a snowball.

……

Fourth Master’s residence.

As soon as Yang Kai returned, the butler immediately greeted him and said, “Young Master, the master said to ask you to go to the study quickly. There is an important matter to discuss.”

“Got it.” Yang Kai responded and quickly rushed towards the study. He was also a bit strange in his heart. He didn’t know what Fourth Master had to do and actually wanted to discuss it with himself.

When he came to the front of the study and hadn’t entered the room yet, he heard Dong Suzhen’s voice coming from inside： “Don’t worry first. Kai’er should be coming back soon.”

Yang Yingfeng complained： “As a mother, don’t you even know when your own son left the mansion？”

Dong Suzhen said： “You don’t know either. Why are you blaming others at this time? Are you reasonable or not?”

Fourth Master Yang suddenly had no choice.

Two dry laughs that were held back with great difficulty came from the room.

Yang Kai’s expression moved, and a smile appeared on his face. He pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing Yang Kai’s return, Dong Suzhen quickly stood up and gritted her silver teeth and said: You bastard. What did you do last night? You didn’t come home all night and only came back until this time. You made me be a lesson by your father.

While speaking, she leaned over and sniffed with her nose.

“What are you sniffing？” Fourth Master Yang was suspicious.

“To see if he went to drink flower wine last night！” Dong Suzhen’s face was extremely serious. After sniffing for a while, she nodded gratifyingly and said： “Fortunately, there is no alcohol smell and no rouge smell…”

“Don’t make a fuss！” Yang Kai was helpless and gestured to the side. “There are still outsiders here.”

“Oh…”
