Chapter 420

After a long silence, an old man with white hair asked in a voice that sounded extremely weak： “Which mansion of the Yang family is that in the northwest corner？”

Someone pondered for a while and replied： “It seems to be the youngest one.”

Everyone nodded slightly and praise ed: “It’s really true that heroes come out of youth.”

The Taishang Elder of the Yang family, Yang Liting, couldn’t help but burst into laughter, with a look of great pride on his face. Even though he had no more pursuits in all things in the world and was in a state of mind like still water, after spying on Yang Kai’s performance tonight, he still couldn’t help but feel somewhat relieved in his old age, feeling that the Yang family had a successor.

The Taishang Elder of the Qiu family, Qiu Daoren, nodded and said, “He has great courage and his personal strength is impeccable. However, in the battle for the throne, relying on just these two points alone is not enough to win. I just don’t know if he has more helpers.”

“Pay more attention to his performance. This battle for the throne seems to be much more exciting than in previous years.”

Everyone nodded in unison, approving of this view.

The eight Taishang Elders above the Divine Wanderer Realm were all figures of the ancestral generation of each big family. Before nightfall, they had already infiltrated their spiritual senses into every corner of the War City to monitor the movements in all directions.

Yang Kai’s actions naturally couldn’t escape their perception.

However, there was only one thing that the eight of them couldn’t figure out. What method did he use to suddenly burst out with such a powerful and strange spiritual sense power?

Judging from his cultivation level, he simply couldn’t possess a spiritual sense. So there was only one explanation left, that is, this youngest Yang family disciple had a powerful soul secret treasure on his body that could release that kind of spiritual sense overpowers and make people have an illusion.

Although the eight people all showed great interest in Yang Kai, it was only limited to this. These eight old men would not participate in the battle for the throne, nor would they interfere in it. If Yang Kai won, they would be happy to see it. If Yang Kai lost, they didn’t care. Even Yang Liting among them had the same idea.

Almost as soon as the eight people withdrew their ocean-like spiritual senses, Yang Kai couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. The faint vigilance that had been on his face finally subsided, and he glanced at the Fengshen Palace without a trace.

He could sense that someone was monitoring him, and there was more than one person.

But the spiritual senses of those people were so powerful that he was powerless to do anything. He couldn’t hide his whereabouts at all. Remembering the rumors, Yang Kai quickly understood who was monitoring him.

He must be promoted to the Divine Movement Realm as soon as possible. With the protection of the Sea of Consciousness and the help of the Wen Shen Lotus, Yang Kai believed that he could hide from those eight people so that it would be convenient for him to act.

The feeling of being monitored is very uncomfortable. Even if he knows that they will not take any action, Yang Kai will not allow this situation to continue.

He has too many secrets on his body.

“Yang Kai！” Qiu Yimeng’s face lit up with joy, and she stood up from the armchair, looking up and shouting.

Glancing down, Yang Kai ordered, “Ask someone to clean up all the corpses and blood here.”

The corpses on the ground. They were all their own people. The enemies’ corpses had already been taken away by them. The Autumn Rain Hall of the Qiu Family had lost six people, and the people brought by Xiang Tianxiao had also lost seven. Thirteen corpses were lying horizontally in front of the central hall, and the smell of blood was overwhelming.

After saying that, with a flick of his figure, he landed in front of Qu Gaoyi.

In this battle, Qu Gaoyi single-handedly delayed the fierce attacks of nearly ten Divine Movement Jing experts. Among them, there were several who were at the seventh or eighth layer of the Divine Movement Jing . He had already done his best.

If it weren’t for his fierceness, it would have been really hard to predict the outcome of tonight.

And now, Qu Gaoyi’s just-recovered body had been severely injured again. His whole body was covered in blood, some of the enemies’ and some of his own. There were rolled up flesh on his body, looking extremely terrifying and hideous.

“Subordinate did not disappoint the Young Master’s trust！” Qu Gaoyi gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

“You did a good job.” Yang Kai nodded lightly.

Receiving the praise, Qu Gaoyi grinned. His burly body swayed slightly.

In the darkness, a figure appeared like a ghost. Ying Jiu showed up to support Qu Gaoyi and prevent him from falling.

“Send him back to rest.” Yang Kai ordered Ying Jiu.

“Yes.” Ying Jiu nodded and helped Qu Gaoyi slowly disappear.

Yang Kai turned his head and looked at the two black-clothed men with their faces covered and their heads hidden and their tails exposed, and chuckled： “Thank you both for your hard work.”

The two of them remained silent. They only cupped their fists at Yang Kai and then left like a whirlwind.

Huo Xingchen had been staring at them. Even at this moment, his eyes were still fixed on their receding figures like leeches, and a cold laugh of ‘ho ho ho ho’ came from his mouth, looking extremely sinister.

After they left, Huo Xingchen finally looked at Yang Kai with a speechless expression on his face and gritted his teeth, saying, ‘You’re amazing! You calculated against me!’

Yang Kai smiled amiably and gently shook his head. ‘Even without them, this place is safe tonight. At most, it’s just you who will be taken away.’

‘Fine, fine, fine. This young master won’t argue with you.’ Huo Xingchen also knew that what Yang Kai said was the truth. With Ying Jiu in his full strength hiding aside, neither Yang Zhao nor Yang Shen would dare to act rashly. If the two of them could cooperate wholeheartedly and use one of the Blood Servants they brought to entangle Ying Jiu while the other went to take the command flag, there might still be a chance of success.

But was it possible for them to cooperate wholeheartedly？

They were rivals to begin with. They would cooperate when there was profit and split when there was no profit. Who would be willing to work for others？

Yang Kai had obviously calculated this as well, so he ran out without worry.

The people from Qiuyu Tang and Xiang Tianxiao were collecting the corpses. Yang Kai swept his gaze around and said loudly, ‘The battle for the throne is something you volunteered to participate in. You have to be mentally prepared for how many people will die.’

Hearing this, the people from Qiuyu Hall and the Xiang family couldn’t help but frown. They immediately felt that this Yang Kai was a bit of a bastard. Others came to help him in the fight for the succession and died here, yet he didn’t even say a kind word. At the very least, he should have comforted them.

So what if you’re a young master of the Yang family? The people who died here are not livestock. They are living lives!

His expression turned cold, and Yang Kai changed the subject and continued, “I have remembered all the dead people in my heart. In the future, I will pay compensation several times greater than your losses. So, those who survive, just wait.”

Qiu Yimeng’s expression immediately turned happy, and she smiled charmingly.

With this sentence, it was enough. Although the time she had spent with Yang Kai was not too long, it wasn’t short either, and she had never heard him make any promises.

A man who doesn’t make many promises must be a man who keeps his word！

For a moment, Qiu Yimeng actually became full of anticipation for the future.

She still remembered that Yang Kai had once said a sentence. What he needed was an ally who would still stand firmly by his side when he was in the most dangerous and embarrassing situation. Those who wanted to get involved with him for the sake of interests he didn’t need.

And the people here now were all allies who had taken the initiative to come to his side when he was the weakest. No matter what the reason was, they had obviously gained his recognition.

In the fight for the succession, the earlier the capital is invested, the greater the return will be.

If you want to befriend someone, you have to do it when he is weak. If you wait until he becomes strong, I’m afraid there won’t be much chance.

Qiu Yimeng couldn’t help but feel a little fortunate that she had made the right choice. This man was indeed a man who could bring miracles.

After this battle, the mansion was also severely damaged. After the people from Qiuyu Hall and the Xiang family collected the corpses, they immediately threw themselves into the renovation work, not even having time to rest.

Qiu Yimeng was like a real housekeeper, directing the meager forces at her disposal to fill in and repair the pits and broken walls of Yang Kai’s mansion as much as possible.

Young Master Huo disappeared at some point, and no one knew where he had gone.

In War City, outside the city, Huo Xingchen swaggered out. After walking straight for ten miles, he slowly stopped and shouted lightly, “Come out. What are you still hiding for？”

The next moment, two old men at the eighth level of the Divine Movement Realm walked out of the darkness and came to Huo Xingchen, respectfully shouting, “Young Master.”

Huo Xingchen looked at them, his expression complicated. It was a long time before he said, “Did my father ask you to protect me secretly？”

One person nodded and said, “Yes, the master was afraid that something might happen to you tonight, so he asked us to watch in secret.”

Huo Xingchen was the only seedling of the Huo Family. Although Huo Zheng hated that he couldn’t become a useful talent and strongly opposed his choice of Yang Kai as an ally during the day, even angrily flicking his sleeves and leaving, how could he feel at ease with his son staying in such a dangerous place？ Naturally, he made some arrangements to feel relieved.

“Father asked you to protect me secretly！” Huo Xingchen gritted his teeth. “Don’t you understand what it means to protect secretly？ Why did you come out？ The Blood Servants under Yang Zhao don’t have the guts to kill me either. At most, I would just be caught by him. I, Young Master, won’t lose a hair！ And you two actually… actually still covered your faces, hiding your heads and showing your faces, making a disgrace of yourselves！ I’m so angry with you！ Fortunately, your actions were hidden and you only fought one move with the Blood Servants. Those people probably couldn’t see your origins either. Otherwise, wouldn’t our Huo Family lose a great deal of face this time？”

Among the experts sent by the eight great families in the Central Capital to participate in the battle for the throne, except for those in the Yang Family’s Blood Servants, the others were at most no higher than the 5th Layer of the Divine Movement Realm. If these two experts of the Huo Family at the 8th Layer of the Divine Movement Realm fought a battle and it really spread out, it would definitely become a laughingstock.

The two experts looked at each other and both had embarrassed expressions. The one who had spoken earlier said, “We also have our helpless difficulties.”

“Difficulties, what difficulties, tell me and let me listen.” Huo Xingchen looked at the two with a sidelong glance.

The two old guys suddenly looked embarrassed, stammering and telling what had happened during the day.

Huo Xingchen listened, and his complexion became uglier and uglier. After they finished speaking, he just laughed hehe： “Two pots of small wine, and you were bought off？ I think you might as well go to the Qiu family or the Yang family. Probably our Huo family doesn’t have such fine nectar and jade liquid for you to enjoy.”

“Young master, don’t be angry！” The two were extremely scared and quickly said： “The key is that those two pots of wine were personally delivered by the eldest miss of the Qiu family. The two of us really couldn’t refuse.”

Huo Xingchen curled his lips, glared at them, and then gritted his teeth and cursed： “This adulterous couple is really extremely cunning！ It’s also the fault of you two idiots for not hiding yourselves well and being discovered.”
