Chapter 526

Overthrow Zhongdu and rebel against the eight great families！

Yang Kai had never thought about it. Although he didn’t have much sense of belonging to the family and participated in the battle for the heir apparent just to vindicate the Sect , he wasn’t rebellious to this extent.

Hearing Yang Zhen’s sharp questioning like this, he quickly realized something.

“This is how the family views me？” Yang Kai stared at Yang Zhen in front of him and asked in a deep voice.

Yang Zhen wore a pained expression on his face and shook his head. “Don’t blame the family for thinking the worst of you. It’s your actions these days that leave people no choice but to think in that direction. There’s no denying that you’re a good candidate, but if a good candidate becomes an evil and heretical person the family won’t hesitate to eliminate you to maintain the purity of the family!

After a pause, Yang Zhen sighed again. “If it was just the family’s worry, it would be easy to discuss. At worst, the elders and powerful experts in the family could use their profound skills to resolve the demonic energy in your body and eliminate future troubles. However, do you know that it’s not just our Yang family that’s worried about this matter？”

Yang Kai’s expression turned cold.

“Let me be frank with you. After your promotion, the other seven families have all sent people to contact the Yang family. They’re also very worried, worried that you’d become like the Evil Lord! Yang Zhen deeply sighed. “The past serves as a lesson for the future. The sect you come from is Lingxiao Pavilion. You’ve cultivated an evil skill, and your qualification is against the heavens. Before this there was an Evil Lord in Lingxiao Pavilion. That Evil Lord is still roaming freely in the Cangyun Evil Land, with celestial magic power and exquisite esoteric skills. Under the heavens, no Divine Movement Realm expert is his match. And you and the Evil Lord come from the same source. Calculated, you’re still related as uncle and nephew.

“One Evil Lord is already giving the eight great families some headaches. If there were to be a second…” Yang Zhen slowly shook his head, a deep sense of dread emerging on his face, and even the look in his eyes as he looked at Yang Kai became strange. “With all these factors combined, how could they not be worried？”

“Worried that I will become a second Evil Lord？” Yang Kai’s expression was cold and gloomy.

“Yes, and your talent might even be better than that so-called Evil Lord. If it really came to that. Hehe…” Yang Zhen laughed bitterly and his eyes became confused.

If it really came to that, with two Evil Lord-level figures arriving in Zhongdu, what could the eight great families use to resist？

The other elders present were also filled with dread and horror, as if they had already seen the scene of Zhongdu being destroyed and the earth moaning.

“After all, this is just your speculation.” Yang Kai suddenly lost the interest in arguing and said indifferently.

The people of the eight great families are all pedantic and stubborn. Their lives that are always high and mighty have made them think that they are always right. They think like this, and no matter what he says, he can’t change their views and suspicions.

Even if he could change the minds of one or two people, it wouldn’t matter to the overall situation.

“Make problems before they occur is the trick for the eight great families to have stood in Zhongdu for so many years without falling.” Yang Zhen seemed to be open and honest, and spoke from the bottom of his heart. “The eight great families must guard against you!”

“The path I take, I will walk it myself.” A hint of sarcastic ridicule emerged on the corner of Yang Kai’s mouth. “Back then, I was congenitally deficient, not even strong enough to truss a chicken, and couldn’t cultivate at all. My father wanted to let me enter the Dragon Transformation Pool of the Yang Family, hoping that the magic of the Dragon Transformation Pool could wash and refine my meridians and marrow for me. But after so many years of his efforts, and so many times of submitting applications to the Elder Hall, it was never approved. Even though his contributions to the family were sufficient, it was still the same. The only response the Elder Hall gave to my father was a waste has no qualification to waste the efficacy of the Dragon Transformation Pool.”

Yang Zhen’s expression turned embarrassed. It was he who sent back the applications submitted by Fourth Master Yang. Now that Yang Kai brought up the old matter again, of course he felt a bit embarrassed.

“Now, I have achieved this cultivation and accomplishment, but the family wants to tell me what to do. Elder Zhen, don’t you think it’s too ridiculous？”

Yang Zhen’s face turned iron blue. He was embarrassed to answer.

Yang Kai continued, “A few days ago, when I advanced to the Divine Wanderer Realm, if it weren’t for the help of my friends and elders, I would have already had my cultivation abolished on the spot by the Great Elder. Even if I didn’t die, I’m afraid I would have become an ordinary person. The family wants to guard against me. To guard against me, they must destroy me？ Elder, don’t you think the family has gone too far？”

“Presumptuous！” Yang Zhen couldn’t help but become angry and furious. “The family is supreme. For the sake of the family, what does it matter if one sacrifices oneself？”

“Elder is so understanding and noble, and this disciple is far inferior. This disciple is a rather selfish person.” Yang Kai suddenly took a step forward, murderous intent billowing, and said coldly： “Since this is the case, this disciple will fulfill several elders. After killing several elders, I will plead guilty to the family and let the family deal with it. In this way, you can also be regarded as sacrificing yourselves for the family.”

Everyone’s complexion changed drastically, and they all stood up suddenly, looking at Yang Kai vigilantly and in horror, and their strength was secretly condensed.

Yang Kai laughed loudly： “It seems that the elders are also rather selfish people…”

Everyone couldn’t help but blush, feeling ashamed of their previous performance. It’s easy to talk about what’s on the lips, but when it really comes to doing it, it turns out that it’s not as simple as it sounds.

“Let’s talk about the business, let’s talk about the business…” The woman with the hoarse voice quickly changed the topic.

Yang Zhen looked at Yang Kai, smiling bitterly again and again, shaking his head and said: “It’s very tiring to deal with you. This old man won’t beat around the bush either. Asking you to apologize to the Xiang and Nan families are just a guise. The children of my Yang family have never softened to others. Even if you want to do this, the family will never agree, and may even stop you.”

“Then what exactly does the family want me to do？”

Return to the Central Capital. Several Taishang Elders in the family will take action together to disperse the evil demonic energy in your body. From now on, you don’t have to worry about whether you will go berserk anymore, and the family and the seven great families will no longer guard against you.”

Yang Kai remained silent.

He didn’t think that with the methods of those Supreme Elders, they could expel the evil energy within his Proud Bone Golden Body. That kind of energy couldn’t be detected by anyone when he didn’t use it.

Moreover, it didn’t cause him any harm at all, and Yang Kai didn’t think he needed to get rid of it.

“The succession battle, you can still continue, but the position of the future head of the Yang Family cannot be inherited by you. The head of the family said that after this succession battle is over, he will step forward to clear the name of Lingxiao Pavilion. I hope you can understand the family’s good intentions.”

The family already had extreme fear and suspicion towards Yang Kai, so naturally they wouldn’t let him sit on the position of the head of the family. In case one day Yang Kai became a figure like the Evil Lord, wouldn’t the Yang Family lose all their face？

“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. The family has another consideration for doing this.” Yang Zhen took a deep breath.

“What consideration？”

“It concerns the mystery of the rapid improvement in strength of the warriors in your residence!” Yang Zhen’s voice was low, and his eyes stared at Yang Kai intently.

The breathing of the other several elders also suddenly became a lot more rapid.

“Do you think you can hide it？” Yang Zhen smiled. “Although everyone doesn’t know why the warriors in your residence can rapidly improve their strength, everyone knows that it has something to do with you. People in the Blood Servant Hall have actually continuously advanced to the 9th Layer of the Divine Movement Realm. This phenomenon is too abnormal and has attracted a lot of attention. In addition, there are also your parents…”

A cold glint flickered in the depths of Yang Kai’s eyes and then disappeared in a flash.

“Yang Yingfeng had a stubborn illness and his strength had been stuck at the Third-Order of Divine Movement Realm for many years. But now？ He has reached the Eighth-Order of Divine Movement Realm, and all of this happened after you returned to Zhongdu. In less than a year, his strength has increased so rapidly. Do you dare to say it has nothing to do with you？ Although Dong Suzhen’s strength growth is not as terrifying as Yang Yingfeng’s, it is also many times faster than before. Do you really think we Yang family members are blind？”

Yang Kai remained silent.

Before giving his parents the Myriad Medicine Spiritual Liquid and Myriad Medicine Spiritual Milk, he had already considered this issue, but he still used them because they were his parents.

“You cultivate a heretical skill, a quick way to achieve results, and your strength grows rapidly. We can understand that, but what means did you use to make other people who follow you, even including your relatives, also rapidly increase their strength? This is something we can’t figure out. Our Yang family cares about this, and the other seven families also care very much.” Yang Zhen’s expression was playful. “Otherwise, do you think why those seven families would join forces to put pressure on our Yang family to deal with you? You just have the potential to become a Heretical Lord, and your strength is not too high. They are not so idle as to target you at this time.”

There is no action without profit. The eight great families in Zhongdu are all families with a keen sense of smell. Their actions mean there is an interest attracting them.

And the hidden Myriad Medicine Spiritual Liquid is the thing that attracts them.

Which family doesn’t envy the means to quickly improve the strength of warriors？

“Asking you to return to Zhongdu, the family also has considerations in this regard. Only when you return to the Yang family and are protected by the experts in the family can you rest easy.”

“The family mainly wants that secret, right？”

“I don’t deny this.” Yang Zhen nodded frankly. “But this time the family has done their best. Because it’s us who come to find you, not sending a message asking you to go back. You should understand the difference between these two practices.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly.

That they came to find him and made all this clear to him obviously also hoped that he could cooperate and obediently return to the Yang family to hide, offer up that secret, and bring good news to the family.

If they sent a message asking him to go back and directly suppressed him with force and imprisoned him, then he would definitely not compromise. At that time, it would only be a lose-lose situation.

The Yang family also knew Yang Kai’s temper very well and naturally hoped to solve this matter peacefully in the first way.

“Think it through.” After Yang Zhen finished speaking, he didn’t say more and just waited quietly.

Yang Kai shook his head： “Since I know these things, it’s even more impossible for me to return to Zhongdu.”

That the family wants the Myriad Medicine Spiritual Liquid doesn’t matter much. There is so much Myriad Medicine Spiritual Liquid. Yang Kai can just get some out. Although he doesn’t have much sense of belonging to the Yang family, after all, the succession battle is the stage that the Yang family provided for him to display his talents. Giving the family some Myriad Medicine Spiritual Liquid is just like a thank-you gift.

But after returning to the Yang Family in the Central Capital, I’m afraid I will never be able to get out again, and moreover, this cultivation base will surely be abolished.

This is a consequence that Yang Kai absolutely cannot accept.
