Chapter 65
by“Sacrificing Yang Kai to protect Su Yan, do you think your actions are right？” Manager Meng chuckled.
Su Xuanwu’s face looked embarrassed. He thought the other party had come to criticize him.
Meng Wuya said, “In this way, it is indeed possible to ensure that Su Yan is safe, but… if Su Yan finds out about this afterwards, how will she feel？”
Su Xuanwu’s expression froze, and in an instant, sweat dripped down his forehead. He suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.
If you really do this, it will only bring a heart demon to Su Yan! She practices the Ice Heart Art. You know better than anyone else what the consequences will be if a heart demon is born.” Meng Wuya’s faint voice rang in Su Xuanwu’s ears, and the latter was like being struck by lightning, filled with regret.
He only cared about the immediate interests and didn’t think about what kind of bad consequences it would bring to Su Yan in the future. Admittedly, sacrificing Yang Kai this time can indeed ensure that Su Yan is safe, but as long as she lives for one more day she will definitely think of this incident and think that the reason she is safe is all due to Yang Kai’s sacrifice. If this goes on for a long time, her heart will definitely be tortured, her state of mind will be unstable, and how can her strength and realm be improved?
“Thank you, Shopkeeper Meng, for waking me up！” Su Xuanwu said respectfully.
“Hehe.” Meng Wuya chuckled lightly. “Even if I didn’t say it, you would have thought of it, just a little later！”
The Great Elder’s complexion changed constantly. He had finally seized the opportunity to put his Second Junior Brother in a difficult position, and seeing that the great matter was about to be accomplished, now Shopkeeper Meng ran out and preached a lot. How could the Second Junior Brother still be willing to be at his mercy？ For the future of Su Yan, he would definitely not compromise this time.
Realizing this, Wei Xitong said gloomily： “Shopkeeper Meng, this place is the Elder Hall of our Lingxiao Pavilion. Without the permission of the elders, no one is allowed to set foot in this hall. You should go back the way you came.”
Meng Wuya glanced at him, threw the Elder Token back with a flick of his hand, and with a flash of his figure, he came to the topmost position in the Elder Hall.
“Arrogant！” Wei Xitong was furious, and the other several elders also had sharp expressions and looked at Shopkeeper Meng unkindly.
The reason was nothing else. The vacant top position was reserved for the head of the Lingxiao Pavilion. Except for the head, no one else was qualified to set foot there. The several elders had been fighting openly and secretly for so many years. Even the Great Elder did not dare to covet that position.
But now, a shopkeeper of the Contribution Hall with an unknown origin actually stood in the top position. How could the several elders not be angry? This was contempt for the entire Xiao Pavilion!
“Hehe, some don’t be angry yet.” Meng Wuya smiled faintly, stroked his beard and said: “I came on behalf of your head, just to pass on a word!”
“On behalf of the head？” The five elders were all moved.
In the past dozen years, even the five great elders have found it extremely difficult to meet the sect master. Unexpectedly, Meng Wuya has actually met him. And listening to his words, it seems that the sect master has something to say because of today’s matter.
What’s going on？ Usually, even if the inside of the pavilion is turned upside down, the sect master will not interfere. Why is the sect master alarmed just because of the conflict among a group of juniors today？
“What is this thing? You should recognize it, right?” Meng Wuya was holding a purple jade pendant in his hand.
“The sect master’s jade pendant！”
This jade pendant is the symbol of the sect master of Lingxiao Pavilion, and it is absolutely impossible to fake.
“Just know it.” Meng Wuya smiled slightly.
Wei Xitong asked tentatively, “Dare to ask Shopkeeper Meng, what instructions has the sect master passed down？”
Although the sect master has not managed the affairs of Lingxiao Pavilion for more than ten years, the majesty of the master of this pavilion has not weakened for a day.
Meng Wuya said, “Your sect master said that today’s matter should be minimized, and everything should be based on harmony! What are you old shameless people interfering in the fight among the juniors? It’s really shameless.
Wei Xitong’s expression was astonished, and he stammered, “The sect master… did the sect master say that?
“Oh, the latter part is my words. Your sect master only said the first half！” Meng Wuya said lightly.
The five elders were almost so angry that they vomited blood！ This scolding was really solid！ But unfortunately, the rest of them couldn’t talk back.
“Also, since Yang Kai has already reached the Open Heaven Realm, let him be promoted to an ordinary disciple. It’s not a good thing to always have the identity of a trial disciple.”
“This…… was also said by you？” Wei Xitong asked somewhat uneasily.
“It was said by your Sect Master.” Meng Wuya chuckled. “The message has been delivered. You all can do as you see fit.”
After saying that, he directly walked down from above and strode out of the Elder Hall.
The five elders looked at each other and all fell silent. Since the Sect Master had already sent a message, what else was there to discuss? Originally, it wasn’t a big deal. Everyone was just making use of the topic. Wasn’t it easy to resolve?
Su Xuanwu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and left. With the Sect Master’s order, he no longer needed to engage in any more struggles. He walked to the hall and picked up Su Mu as well, quickly disappearing.
The Second Elder left, and the Third Elder He Beishui also bid farewell and left. Only the First Elder’s faction was left in the hall.
The Fifth Elder You Zizai said, “Senior Brother, something is not right. Today’s matter is not big, yet it actually alarmed the Sect Master. Is there some mystery in it？”
The Fourth Elder also nodded for a while： “Could it be that the Sect Master wants to take this opportunity to tell us that he is still watching Lingxiao Pavilion？”
This was also the speculation in the First Elder’s heart, but he didn’t dare to admit it. Now that it was said by the Fourth Elder, his heart also skipped a beat.
“Anyway, this time we’ll take a step back first. We have to be more careful in the future.” The Great Elder pondered and said, “However, we can test the thoughts of the Sect Master to see what he is really thinking. If he is willing to come out of seclusion and take charge of the Lingxiao Pavilion, then we should assist him. But if he is just having a whim… The Lingxiao Pavilion can’t go on like this anymore. There should be someone who can take charge.”
“That’s very true！ But how do we test？” The Fourth Elder asked in a low voice.
“Didn’t the Sect Master say to let that Yang Kai be promoted to an ordinary disciple？ There’s also something we can do about this.”
“I see！” The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder suddenly understood.
In front of the Forest Prison, Su Yan and Xie Hongchen and others had been confronting each other, and no one dared to move.
This situation had lasted for a full half an hour. The cold air on Su Yan’s body became more and more intense. If it weren’t for the fact that the cultivation method Yang Kai practiced happened to restrain Su Yan’s Ice Heart Technique, he would probably have been frozen into an ice sculpture long ago.
Just as they were deadling, a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall came in a hurry and shouted loudly “TheElder will have an order and release the person!”
“What？” Xie Hongchen’s expression froze when he heard this.
The disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall said with a bitter face, “Senior Brother Xie, several elders have said that today’s matter ends here, and no one is allowed to pursue it anymore. Otherwise, they will be dealt with according to the sect’s rules！”
Xie Hongchen looked at Yang Kai with extreme resentment and poison. He had been constantly looking forward to Su Yan making a move because as long as she did, he could find an opportunity to kill Yang Kai! But Su Yan didn’t give him this chance. Now that he heard the order from the elder, he naturally knew there was no hope anymore.
Gritting his teeth with grief and indignation, Xie Hongchen roared： “Release him！”
Su Yan still supported Yang Kai and led Li Yuntian and the others, slowly walking forward. Her expression was as calm as a deep well. Under the gaze of Xie Hongchen’s complex eyes, they gradually left.
Chapter Seventy-Eight Comprehension
The brawl among the younger generation of disciples ended so strangely. Many people felt it was completely bewildered.
This time the dispute involved a wide range. The Law Enforcement Hall dispatched over a hundred disciples at once just to surround and block Su Yan, which also indirectly confirms her strength.
And the other protagonist of the incident, Yang Kai, was also known by many disciples. Some spurned him, some envied him. There were all kinds of comments, and they were not the same.
At this moment, Yang Kai was in a coma.
After leaving in front of the Forest Prison, Yang Kai directly fell asleep. This time he was beaten up by five Law Enforcement Hall disciples. Although the injuries he suffered were not fatal, they were quite serious. If it weren’t for a in his heart that didn’t disperse Yang Kai would have already fallen.
Once the matter was over and there was no more worry in his heart, naturally he couldn’t support himself anymore.
When he woke up, Yang Kai found himself lying on a strange bed. His whole body was sore. He rolled his eyes and looked around only to find that the room was extremely simple and elegant. There were not many furniture in the room, and it was extremely quiet and secluded.
Just like Su Yan’s small house in the Black Wind Trade City.
Struggling to get up, perhaps the movement he made was heard outside. Not long after, Su Mu pushed open the door and appeared with a moved expression on his face.
Li Yuntian and the others were all there. They walked in with Su Mu and looked at Yang Kai with a relieved expression.
Brother Yang, how do you feel？” Su Mu stepped forward and helped him up.”
It’s okay.” Yang Kai slightly circulated his Yuan Qi and found that he was not seriously injured. He just needed to rest for a few days.”
This time it was Brother who saved me again. Su Mu thanks you.” Su Mu thanked him clumsily.”
Don’t mind.” Yang Kai waved his hand.”
By the way, these are the pills given to you by my family’s old ghost. These are all for healing and for cultivation.” Su Mu took out more than a dozen bottles and placed them one by one on the bedside.”
“Second Elder?” Yang Kai was stunned. Isn’t it this too much?
Not much, not much. You were seriously injured this time and should take a good rest and recuperate.
Then I’ll thank the Second Elder on behalf of my senior brother.
Don’t thank him.” Su Mu waved his hand, and a little anger appeared on his face.”
Su Xuanwu also felt that he owed Yang Kai this time, so he bestowed so many pills. After all, if it weren’t for the fact that Shopkeeper Meng brought the order of the Sect Master at the last moment, perhaps Yang Kai would really have been sacrificed by him. Su Mu was angry at his way of handling this matter and specifically asked for a lot of pills for Yang Kai this time.
“Where is Senior Sister Su Yan？” Yang Kai turned his head and looked around and asked.
Su Mu’s expression suddenly became strange. Naturally, he had long known of Yang Kai’s heroic deeds before from Li Yuntian and others. For a while, he was both scared and admired in his heart. Since childhood, the feeling Su Yan gave him was not like that of an older sister, but rather like that of a biological mother. In front of Su Yan, Su Mu never dared to take a deep breath.
But looking at this Senior Brother Yang, how brave his is! He actually held his own older sister’s little hand in front of more than a hundred people and also uttered such bold words.
Afterwards, he was not killed by his sister！ Not only was he not killed, but he was also arranged by his sister to rest in her own boudoir. This kind of thing is simply unbelievable！
During the two days when Yang Kai was in a coma, Su Mu also pondered for two days and couldn’t always figure out the mystery.
Why？ Why on earth is this？
“Alas！ Senior Brother Yang！” Su Mu let out a heavy sigh, patted Yang Kai on the shoulder, and after deliberating on his words for a long time, he said, “Please accept my condolences！ Since ancient times, there have been many cases of unrequited love. Senior Brother, you have to look on the bright side.”
Yang Kai was stunned, then couldn’t help but smile wryly. Knowing that Su Mu was probably misunderstanding him, he didn’t bother to explain and just asked, “Where is she？”
This time it was thanks to her rescue at the critical moment. Otherwise, Yang Kai might really have to use the Yang Liquid to kill those few Law Enforcement Hall disciples. But facing those people, Yang Kai didn’t have the confidence to kill them, so he didn’t take the risk to act at that time. But in any case, once it came to that step, there would be no room for maneuver.
“She went to the Black Wind Bazaar after settling you here.” Su Mu replied.
“Didn’t Senior Sister say anything when she left？” Yang Kai was suspicious. Originally, he thought that Su Yan must have something to say to him, after all, his actions at that time were really ill-considered.
“No.” Su Mu slowly shook his head.
Yang Kai secretly admired in his heart.
This Senior Sister’s personality is really unrestrained. Regarding her own reputation, she didn’t explain the twists and turns to anyone. The clear is clear！
After chatting with Su Mu for a while, he left.
Lying on the bed, Yang Kai didn’t think much. Things had already come to this point, and thinking more wouldn’t help. Coincidentally, Su Mu brought a lot of pills, and it was time to test whether his guess that day was correct.
Half of these pills were for treating injuries, and half were for cultivation. Overall, the value was definitely not cheap.
Yang Kai first took a few healing pills, and then silently circulated the True Yang Art to help the medicinal effects dissolve in his body, carefully feeling the changes in his body.
It has to be said that the medicinal effects of these healing pills are quite remarkable. The medicinal power spreads in the meridians, and in a short while, it begins to moisten and repair the injured parts of his body, reducing the pain in the injured area sharply.
However, Yang Kai keenly perceived that a part of the medicinal power of these pills circulated in the meridians and was injected into his bones.
Noticing this point, Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and became even more certain of the guess in his heart.
To verify whether this guess was correct, Yang Kai kept taking various pills throughout the day.
The final result showed that his Proud Bone Golden Body could indeed absorb other energies, different from the yang attribute energy！
As early as a few days ago when he broke through to the Kaiyuan Realm, Yang Kai had this guess, but there was no way to confirm it at that time.
The True Yang Art is undoubtedly a special and powerful technique. It allows him to refine Yang Liquid without limit, and the Yang Liquid is also extremely lethal in battle. But this powerful technique has one of the most obvious limitations, that is, the cultivation environment is too harsh.
He must cultivate in an environment of yang qi.
Originally, Yang Kai was still worried that his cultivation would be affected by the environment, but now the inclusiveness of the Proud Bone Golden Body has relieved him of this worry.
When there is Yang Qi, practice the True Yang Technique. When there is no Yang Qi, it doesn’t matter. The Proud Bone Golden Body is not picky and accepts all kinds of energy.
With two-pronged approach, his strength will not stop advancing because of the lack of Yang attribute energy.
These energies that are not of the Yang attribute are absorbed by the Proud Bone Golden Body. When he fights, it will also feedback to him and enhance his combat effectiveness.
Yang Kai felt vaguely that there was an indescribable relationship between his Proud Bone Golden Body and the True Yang Technique, but what kind of relationship it was, he couldn’t figure it out for the time being.
When Yang Kai came back to his senses, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
Unconsciously, he had actually consumed a total of five bottles of pills. Each bottle had ten pills, which means he ate fifty pills at once. Even if these pills were only of the mortal level and not of high quality, if an ordinary person ate so many, his body would definitely not be able to bear it.
But now he was fine at all, and his injury was even much better.
In the darkness, Yang Kai’s two eyes shone with a creepy light, staring at the remaining seven or eight bottles of various pills beside him. There was a crazy idea surging in his heart.
Once this idea surged out, it couldn’t be suppressed no matter what.
After being silent for a long time, Yang Kai finally decided to take a gamble！
He reached out and picked up a bottle of pills, opened the bottle mouth and regardless of whether it was a healing pill or a cultivation pill, he poured them all into his mouth. Then he picked up another bottle and poured it into his mouth…
After eating all the remaining pills, Yang Kai licked the corner of his mouth with the unfinished meaning.
If someone else saw this scene, they would probably be scared to pee their pants！ These pills are indeed not all poisons, but they can’t be swallowed like beans either. You know that medicine is three-tenths poisonous, and any kind of pill has a bottom line when it comes to taking it. Too much is as bad as too little, not only is it not good for the body, but it will also endanger one’s own health, and even affect one’s own cultivation and foundation.
But Yang Kai actually swallowed seventy or eighty different pills in one go in just a short moment.
Smacking his mouth, Yang Kai felt that his stomach was bulging and swollen. Countless weak and gentle medicinal powers were mingling and entangling in his abdomen, and soon gathered into a terrifying energy.
Yang Kai had long been prepared and quickly circulated the True Yang Art.
That energy was like a dragon that had escaped from its cage, churning in his abdomen. Yang Kai let out a muffled grunt feeling as if his entire abdominal cavity had been torn apart.
The speed of the True Yang Art’s operation suddenly increased a lot, as if there was an endless attraction. The energy condensed after the melting of seventy or eighty pills was attracted by this suction force and slowly melted into the meridians.
Yang Kai didn’t dare to relax in the slightest and felt it carefully.
This energy like a flood dragon scurried around in the meridians, completely incompatible with the True Yang Yuan Qi. Although the two were intermingled, they simply would not merge.
Moreover, the directions in which these two energies flowed within the meridians were also completely different.
The True Yang Yuan Qi rotated clockwise, while this vast medicinal efficacy rotated counterclockwise, constantly colliding with each other. Every time they clashed and interacted, the True Yang Yuan Qi would burn away all the harmful substances in the medicinal efficacy, leaving behind those pure energies.
Yang Kai’s body flickered on and off, and his skin instantly turned red. Under his skin, every meridian seemed to have worms drilling in, churning non-stop, looking extremely terrifying.
As time passed, the impurities in this vast energy were completely removed, and little by little, drop by drop, they poured into his bones. At this moment, the Proud Bone Golden Body also seemed to have turned into a source of hunger, devouring the incoming energy greedily.
Under the intense pain, Yang Kai’s perception was clearer than ever, as if there was a pair of eyes growing in his body, able to see how the True Yang Yuan Qi refined these energies, and also able to see how the Proud Bone Golden Body received these refined energies, not missing a single bit.
There was a faint realization！
Yang Kai recalled the several battles he had experienced after obtaining the Proud Bone Golden Body. When blood spattered and his body hurt, his excited and bloodthirsty desire would arise every time. With the generation of pain and an unyielding will, his strength will grow rapidly, defeating and slaying opponents whose strength and cultivation exceed his own.
Especially the battle in the Forest Prison two days ago, the beatings of the five opponents who were far more powerful than himself were presented clearly in his heart one by one.
The blood boiled again, and a familiar warm feeling emerged in the bones. The energy swallowed by the Proud Bone Golden Body was fed back to him as he wished, briefly enhancing his strength.
It’s not enough！ Yang Kai felt that there was still something missing for him to truly understand the mystery of the Proud Bone Golden Body.
What’s still lacking is a real battle！
With this thought in mind, Yang Kai suddenly jumped off the bed, gasped for breath, pushed open the door, looked left and right, and walked straight to the door of the opposite room and kicked it open.
Yang Kai estimated that Su Mu should be sleeping opposite because he heard some movement opposite not long ago. He wanted to find someone to have a good fight, and Su Mu was a candidate.
The door was wide open, and Yang Kai saw a smooth back at a glance. The invitation to fight that was just about to blurt out was suddenly swallowed back.
Under the moonlight, by the window sill, the graceful and charming figure touched the heartstrings.
White as coagulated fat, with charming and delicate ice-like skin, when she turns around, everything sways.
This scene was truly breathtaking. Yang Kai’s three souls and seven spirits were almost scared away.
There was indeed someone in this room, but it wasn’t Su Mu as Yang Kai had imagined, but Su Yan！
