Chapter 744

Looking at An Ling’er’s appearance of being both ashamed and angry, Yang Kai couldn’t stop laughing, and his mood became extremely carefree for no reason： “Saintess, how do you feel？”

While speaking, he deliberately blew a mouthful of hot air towards her delicate earlobe. An Ling’er’s earlobe immediately turned extremely red like being dyed, and a dense sound of a war drum-like heartbeat came from her chest.

The Saintesses of the Nine Heavens Holy Land have grown and been cultivated in the Holy Land since childhood. Since they understood things, they have been instilled with an idea.

That is that their entire lives belong to the Holy Lord, and everything about them is also prepared for the Holy Lord.

In the Nine Heavens Holy Land, the Holy Maiden is a symbol of nobility and holiness, and has never been so intimate with any man.

Feeling the strong and majestic body, An Ling’er’s heart was in a turmoil, and she secretly regretted why she had provoked such a villain.

But this villain had passed her test and understood three moves of the Nine Heavens Divine Skills at once.

Really, the heavens are blind！ An Ling’er tightly bit her red lips and didn’t dare to say a word anymore.

Seeing her look of being greatly wronged, Yang Kai didn’t tease her anymore, but maintained this situation and continuously flew upwards.

After a long time, the two finally rushed out of the sea surface and returned to above the sea water again.

An Ling’er, like a frightened rabbit, quickly broke away from Yang Kai, gasped for breath and looked at him with an extremely resentful gaze.

“Seriously say one thing to you, regarding the matter at the bottom of the sea, you’d better not mention it in front of the people of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, otherwise I really will kill people to silence them. I can also guarantee to you that I will never do anything harmful to your Nine Heavens Holy Land, nor will I publicize your secrets! Still that sentence, it’s best if we from this part ways and never meet again this is good for both you and me.” Yang Kai seriously instructed.

“I understand, I won’t mention it.” An Ling’er slightly nodded.

“Farewell then. I wish you can find your Holy Lord soon！” Yang Kai smiled brightly and left quickly.

Looking at his disappearing back, An Ling’er’s expression was complicated.

She had never thought that there would actually be someone who would reject a good thing that came knocking on the door. She had always thought that when she found the Holy Lord, that person would be overjoyed and couldn’t wait to return to the Holy Land with her and enjoy all the wealth and honor in the world. But Yang Kai’s reaction and attitude had shattered her previous thoughts.

When he left, there was not the slightest hint of reluctance in him. He was straightforward and decisive, clearly showing that he really didn’t want to be the Holy Lord.

“Oh no！” An Ling’er was shocked again. Suddenly remembering that she had been missing for so long, Uncle Qian and the others were probably worried to death.

On the sea islands, there was a state of chaos and alarm.

The people of the seven-family alliance and the people of the Nine Heavens Holy Land had almost turned the twenty-three nearby islands upside down within this one and a half months.

But no matter what, they couldn’t find the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden.

When facing the wrath of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, every family in the seven-family alliance was trembling with fear.

The leaders of the seven families were gathered in a palace at this moment. This palace was originally the place where the people of the Nine Heavens Holy Land temporarily lived, but now it had become a place filled with gunpowder smoke.

Qian Ning’s face was extremely gloomy as he looked at the leaders of the seven families and growled in a low voice, “It’s been over a month and we still haven’t found the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden. I’ll give you three more days. If I don’t see the Holy Maiden after three days, I’ll level all your islands！”

The martial artist at the first level of the Transcendent Realm said submissively, constantly wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, “Calm down, Protector Qian. We will definitely send more people and find the Holy Maiden no matter what！”

Originally, the arrival of the people from the Nine Heavens Holy Land was a great honor for their seven-family alliance. Who knew such a change would occur, causing them to be implicated as well.

Someone guessed, “Protector Qian, could the Holy Maiden have gone to sea with that group of people before?”

“Going into the sea?” “How could the Holy Maiden do such a boring thing?”

“But we’ve searched everywhere except the sea…”

Didn’t the people who went into business return three days ago? The Holy Maiden wasn’t found among them. If she really went into the sea, she should have come back by now.

“But there were also quite a few casualties in the sea. Could the Holy Maiden have already…”

“Presumptuous！” Qian Ning was furious. “What kind of person is the Holy Maiden? You people of low birth can come back alive. How could something happen to her? I don’t care what methods you use or how many people you send. If I don’t see the Holy Maiden within three days, you know the consequences！ Get out！”

The seven leaders of the seven-family alliance were annoyed in their hearts, but they didn’t dare to show the slightest on their faces. Their small forces were really not enough in front of the Jiutian Holy Land, and naturally they didn’t have the courage to provoke Qian Ning.

Before they could leave, a maid suddenly rushed over in a hurry, with a thick joy on her face, shouting： “Protector Qian, Protector Qian, the Holy Maiden… she’s back！”

“Back？” Qian Ning’s eyebrows raised, and he hurriedly ran out to greet the maid, asking eagerly： “Where is she？”

The maid turned around and pointed. Qian Ning looked in the direction she pointed, and happened to see An Ling’er walking out briskly from there.

Qian Ning burst into tears and was so excited that he couldn’t speak. The big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

When An Ling’er walked closer, everyone quickly saluted： “Greetings to the Holy Maiden！”

An Ling’er nodded slightly and said with some guilt： “Uncle Qian, I’m sorry to have troubled you this time.”

“As long as you’re fine.” Qian Ning had a smile on his face and seemed much more relaxed.

An Ling’er slowly shook her head.

“So where have you been all these days？”

“When I went out last time, I suddenly had some insights, so I found a nearby place to seclude myself. Unexpectedly, more than a month has passed in a flash.” An Ling’er said softly, with a somewhat unnatural expression.

Qian Ning looked at her suspiciously, keenly aware that the Holy Maiden should be lying, but didn’t know why she did so. However, since the person was safe and sound, it was a blessing from heaven, and he didn’t mean to pursue it to the end. He just kept nodding： “That’s good, that’s good！”

He turned his head and ordered the maid： “Bei’er, serve the Holy Maiden to rest.”

“Yes.” Bei’er nodded quickly.

The leaders of the Seven Families Alliance looked at each other and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

……

On one of the islands, Yang Kai found a secret room. After paying a few spirit stones, he stepped in.

This secret room was opened by the Seven Families Alliance and was specifically for the warriors who had insights and needed to seclude themselves for cultivation. The cost of using it was also very different from that of an ordinary inn room.

However, in this secret room, many restrictions and barriers were arranged, which could avoid external interference. Moreover, the Seven Families Alliance would also be responsible for the safety protection of the people who entered the secret room, so it was considered a good value for money.

Therefore, it was very popular among foreign warriors.

Secret rooms like this also existed in ordinary cities. After all, there were often warriors who had a flash of inspiration and needed to seclude themselves for cultivation. When they were away from home, having such a secret room was also very convenient.

In that secret room, Yang Kai carefully inspected it. After confirming that the restrictions and barriers arranged in the secret room were fairly good, capable of withstanding a certain degree of impact and even having a warning function, he then sat cross-legged, took out the pill with pill clouds on it, placed it in the palm of his hand, and carefully examined it.

He didn’t rush to leave here. Part of the reason was that he couldn’t wait to see how this pill was refined. The other part of the reason was also to stay and monitor An Ling’er’s movements.

It wasn’t that he judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. It was just that some matters were of great importance and he couldn’t afford not to be careful.

In case An Ling’er sold him out, he was likely to become an enemy of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Such a behemoth, once provoked, would have endless troubles.

Yang Kai learned the three divine skills of the Nine Heavens Holy Land in a inexplicable way. Youdaoplaceholder0 the Nine Heavens Holy Land would not want such secret manuals to fall into the hands of outsiders. Once they knew the truth, they would only have two choices. Either kill Yang Kai to silence him or force Yang Kai to become the Holy Lord.

Depriving An Ling’er of her soul brand was really a last resort.

Through that soul brand, although Yang Kai didn’t know every thing this woman did, he could subtly detect her mood swings, which was most suitable for monitoring her.

Not thinking too much, Yang Kai immersed his mind in the pill in his hand.

This is a Saint Pill！ It’s of mid-Saint Grade at least.

Alchemists who can refine Saint Pills are rare no matter in which era.

Du Wan, such a famous figure, is just a low-Saint Grade alchemist. With his means, he simply can’t refine mid-Saint Grade pills, unless he is extremely lucky.

Among the people Yang Kai has contacted, only the old man Tiancang, Li Rui, can easily refine Saint Pills.

When an excellent alchemist observes a pill, he can infer the level of the person who refined it through the traces on the pill and the fusion of the medicinal effects.

Looking at this Saint Pill in his hand, Yang Kai is deeply shocked.

Although his experience is not very rich, he can still see how easily and freely that person refined this pill at the beginning. There are no unnatural traces on the pill body, and it is round and smooth all over. Obviously, that person’s alchemy level has reached the state of being superb, perhaps on a par with Old Li.

However, the era is too long ago, and I don’t know which ancient power the ancient relic was left by. It’s a bit unrealistic to spy on the identity of the person who refined the pill.

The most precious thing is that the pill cloud generated by this Saint Pill, and the rich spiritual energy wraps the pill like clouds is dense and colorful. It not only maintains the integrity of the medicinal effects, but also continuously gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to nourish the pill in the passage of time.

And now, the energy contained within this Saint Pill is simply inestimable.

Yang Kai estimated that even if a Saint Realm powerhouse were to consume it, they might not be able to withstand the energy it unleashes.

For a pill to have become like this, it can be considered a strange tale throughout the ages.

Yang Kai’s mind was immersed within the pill, carefully savoring and inferring the techniques used by the alchemist back then and the formation process of the pill.

In the midst of it all, he seemed to have witnessed that scene from countless years ago, yet he couldn’t see it clearly. Everything was shrouded in a fog.
