Chapter 788

If An Ling’er had begged him to stay when she found him, then Yang Kai might have left without hesitation.

But she told him to go！

This was obviously considering for him. Since An Ling’er could consider for him, Yang Kai couldn’t just leave like that.

Something major must have happened in the Nine Heavens Holy Land！

Seeing that Yang Kai took the initiative to stay, An Ling’er was particularly happy and quickly told him what had happened during the days after he entered the Holy Mausoleum.

Yang Kai then found out that it had taken him a full nine months from when he entered the Holy Mausoleum until now.

For the first half a year, everything was peaceful.

But one day nearly half a year later, the barrier array arranged on the periphery nine peaks suddenly lost its effectiveness which caught all the elders and protectors in the Holy Land off guard.

No matter how they searched, they couldn’t find the reason, let alone repair and restart those barriers and arrays.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Granny Nan, who noticed the disappearance of the barriers and arrays, attacked the Holy Land.

Everyone joined forces to resist and although they successfully repelled Granny Nan, countless of the Holy Land’s foundations were destroyed and many disciples affected by the battle were killed or injured.

And at this time, there was also an invasion by foreign enemies.

“Foreign enemies？” Yang Kai was astonished.

Yes. Although our Holy Land has been powerful in recent years, which force doesn’t have enemies? When the old Holy Lord was alive, he could still deter them but the old Holy Lord has been dead for almost two years and the new Holy Lord has not taken the throne, which has made them see an opportunity. The nine peaks of our Holy Land are excellent places for cultivation and those people are eyeing them.

“Isn’t this just adding insult to injury？” Yang Kai sneered softly.

“Yes.” An Ling’er nodded, looking dismal. “But it’s not all their responsibility. When the old Holy Lord was alive, his means were indeed a bit tougher, which made them resentful…

“That’s all right. Our Holy Land doesn’t pay attention to just a few small and weak forces. However…” Yu Ying took over the words. Her black eyebrows were knitted into a line, and she lamented, “But Saintess Nan has caused great indignation outside during this period. Those forces took this opportunity to gather a large number of experts and asked our Holy Land to give an explanation. Those experts either had their interests damaged by Saintess Nan or had their relatives and friends killed by her. They all regard our Holy Land as a thorn in the flesh.”

“When the house leaks, it happens to rain all night; when the boat is slow, it meets the headwind！” Yang Kai frowned and pondered, understanding why the entire Nine Heavens Holy Land was in such a desolate state.

However, the failure of the barrier and array of the Nine Heavens Holy Land was nearly half a year ago At that time he happened to obtain the Holy Lord’s Spirit Ring.

Could it have something to do with this？ Yang Kai guessed secretly, not too sure.

“Half a month ago, those people came to shout and abuse again, asking us to hand over Saintess. But after the battle half a year ago, Saintess Nan was injured and fled far away. We already don’t know where she is. How could we find out where she is？ The Great Elder talked to them for a while, but it was of no avail. Those forces that coveted our Nine Peaks fanned the flames for a while, and then they fought. Both sides suffered casualties, and the hatred became deeper and deeper. Now it seems that there is no way to resolve it anyway. Sigh…”

“What kind of forces are they that come here to cause trouble？” Yang Kai asked with a frown.

“The leaders are of course three nearby forces, namely the Broken Mysterious Mansion, the Battle Soul Palace, and the Nether Sect! A hint of disgust and hatred emerged on Yu Ying’s beautiful face. “These three forces are the chief culprits. If it were just one of them, even if our Holy Land was greatly weakened, we wouldn’t take them seriously at all. But they have gathered many powerful figures from other forces, sects, and families. After that battle, our Holy Land is almost enemies with half of the world!

“The situation is so bad？” Yang Kai was also shocked.

However, thinking of what Saintess Nan has done outside during this period of time, it can also be explained.

Saintess Nan kills wherever she goes, and countless people die under her hands. Naturally, it has brought huge hidden dangers to the Nine Heavens Holy Land. With her strength at the Second Layer of the Saint Stage, her strength is profound, her cultivation is exquisite, and she has great supernatural powers. The only ones who can deal with her are the powerhouses at the Third Layer of the Saint Stage. Under the heavens, there are not many experts of this level！

Even Yang Kai doesn’t know if Chu Lingxiao of the Tianxiao Sect is a powerhouse of this level.

“It’s far worse than you think！” Yu Ying’s face was cold and severe. “These three forces not only covet the foundation of our Nine Peaks, but what they covet most is Ling’er！”

As she said this, she looked at An Ling’er meaningfully.

Yang Kai’s eyes twirled, and he immediately understood： “They want to arrange for the disciples of their own sects to combine with the Holy Maiden and obtain the inheritance of your Saint Lord, right？”

Once they obtain the inheritance of the Saint Lord, they will soar into the sky. This is a huge fortune that they cannot obtain even after decades or hundreds of years of hard work.

“That’s right！” Yu Ying nodded heavily. “When they retreated half a month ago, they said that we should hand over Saintess Nan within a month, otherwise they would level the Nine Peaks！ But on that same night, the Great Elder received a secret letter. That secret letter said that if we couldn’t hand over the previous generation of Saintess, using this generation of Saintess to offset it would also be okay！”

“The abacus they’re playing…” Yang Kai marveled in surprise, and couldn’t help but be surprised by the cheekiness of those people. After pondering for a while, he asked rhetorically, “Then you’re just sitting here waiting for death？”

Yu Ying’s beautiful eyes dimmed： “What else can we do？ The world is so big, and we have nowhere to go. There are still half a month left. The Great Elder now only hopes to be able to persuade those involved forces to withdraw on their own initiative. If only those three forces are left, I don’t think they can make much of a splash. When our Holy Land recovers, we will settle accounts with them one by one.”

“Your old Saint Lord really caused a lot of harm.” Yang Kai slowly shook his head. “Why didn’t he treat them better during his lifetime？ No wonder they would come to cause trouble.”

“Hey, whose side are you on anyway？” Yu Ying glared at Yang Kai with some dissatisfaction.

“I’m just telling the truth.” Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders.

“When the old Saint Lord was alive, although his methods were a bit tough and he asked them to contribute some cultivation resources every year it was precisely because of the old Saint Lord’s protection that the three forces have always been safe and sound.” An Ling’er explained, “Now they choose to bite the hand that feeds them. They are really ungrateful.”

“What do you mean by that?” How did your old Saint Lord protect them? Yang Kai showed a look of not understanding.

Didn’t I tell you? Our Holy Land is on the edge of the Human Territory. If you go forward and cross that high mountain the Beast Sea Forest on the other side is the territory of the Monster Race. If it weren’t for the old Saint Lord sitting here, the Monster Race Great Venerables over there would have already led people to attack here and occupied this territory.”

“The Monster Race？” Yang Kai raised his brows and said in surprise, “There is actually the Monster Domain over there？”

“Yes！”

“Then why didn’t they take this opportunity to attack？”

The old Saint Lord has fallen. Logically speaking, the Monster Race should be the most likely to move. There is a deep blood feud between the three races of humans, demons, and monsters, and no one can stand each other. With such a great opportunity, the Monster Race has no reason to let it go. Yang Kai keenly perceived that there should be some inside story here. perhaps a secret unknown to others.”

An Ling’er looked at Yu Ying, as if asking for dvice. Yu Ying’s pretty face had a complex expression. She pondered for a while before nodding slightly.

An Ling’er then softly said, The old Holy Master seemed to have some friendship with the great of the demon Race over there… They didn’t do this, probably also because of this aspect.”

“Oh?” Yang Kai revealed an interesting expression, and gently sneered, sarcastically said, “So it seems that theDemon Race over there is more humane… The strength of the demon Race great must not be weak, right?

“We haven’t seen it, but it should be not bad.” Yu Ying nodded.

“The specific situation is like this.” After An Ling’er finished speaking, she stared blankly at Yang Kai, seemingly waiting for his statement. Yu Ying also looked at him with an extremely nervous look, for fear that he would shake off and leave after learning of such a big trouble.

If this is really the case, then Yu Ying would really want to cry.

Since Yang Kai can safely come out of the Holy Mausoleum, he must have passed the test. Now, he is completely equivalent to the master of the Holy Land. With such a person sitting in town, it can also stabilize the emotions of the disciples and is more convenient to arrange various affairs.

The eyes of the two beauties, one big and one small, were both fixed on himself. Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel helpless and asked, “Where is Xu Hui?”

Hearing him ask this, both An Ling’er and Yu Ying’s beautiful eyes suddenly lit up. Yu Ying said hurriedly, “I’m taking you to find him!”

While speaking, she walked ahead with a smile to lead the way.

Yang Kai and An Ling’er followed behind.

“You… are you going to be the master of the Holy Land? An Ling’er suddenly asked softly.

“I didn’t say that. Don’t get me wrong. It’s just that now… I’ll do what I can. I can’t guarantee that I can help you resolve this disaster. I can only say that I’ll do my best. If your Holy Land is really destroyed because of this disaster, at least it won’t be blamed on me.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” An Ling’er’s face lit up with a smile. “You’re still very good. We’re really friends, right？”

“Hmm.” Yang Kai grinned, full of an evil feeling. “So you must never fall in love with me. If you fall in love with me, I’ll have to leave, and we won’t even be able to be friends.”

“You’re so full of yourself！” An Ling’er’s cheeks flushed, and she couldn’t help but punch Yang Kai. Her movements were intimate, and she gritted her teeth and said, “Do you really think that all women in the world will be attracted to you? Although you’re not bad, you’re not my type.”

“What kind do you like？” Yang Kai was stunned.

“Older than me, taller and stronger, someone who knows how to take care of others…” An Ling’er immediately fell into a fantasy, and her beautiful eyes were filled with sweetness and happiness.

“You really have no taste！” Yang Kai kept shaking his head, looking complacent, which made An Ling’er giggle.

Along the way, there were nothing but broken walls, bloodstains all over the ground, and traces of battle.

The Holy Land disciples who were busy all saluted when they saw Yu Ying and An Ling’er. When they saw Yang Kai walking side by side with An Ling’er, they all showed dumbfounded expressions and couldn’t believe their eyes no matter what.

In the front, Xu Hui was arranging people to be busy. Yu Ying shouted with a smile. Xu Hui turned his head and was about to answer when his eyes suddenly popped out, looking like he had seen a ghost. His mouth opened wide and he couldn’t speak for a long time.
