Chapter 803
byMoreover, Saintess Nan had been killing people outside in the past two years without asking for reasons or identities. As long as she saw someone, she would directly start killing, as if there was only a killing intent in her heart. But before this, they had all heard that this old saintess of the Nine Heavens Holy Land was a kind-hearted and good person.
After comparing, it was like two different people, and the change was too great.
The matter of Saintess Nan attacking the Nine Heavens Holy Land a few days ago was also true.
Their expressions immediately wavered. After all, they were still not too willing to be enemies with the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
“The brat is talking nonsense!” Zhang Ao glared at Yang Kai and shouted angrily, “You said that Saintess Nan is dead? How can a dead person still kill people? It’s really a joke. Do you think we are all fools and let you manipulate at will?
“Yes, if she is a dead person, how can she do those things？”
Then why would the Holy Land be difficult for everyone? What benefit would it bring to the Holy Land to let Saintess Nan create killing karma outside? Yang Kai asked rhetorically.
Zhang Ao opened his mouth but couldn’t say anything for a while.
Most of the forces here were lured over because of the Nan Saintess, wanting the Holy Land to give an explanation and seek justice. The ones who truly wanted to eradicate the Jiutian Holy Land were still the three forces led by Zhang Ao. They were just taking advantage of this excellent opportunity to act.
“Kid, I won’t waste words with you. What kind of thing are you to be able to talk to this old man.” Zhang Ao snorted disdainfully. “The only one who has the qualification to talk to this old man is Xu Hui. Xu Hui, are you getting muddled in the head? Actually relying on a brat to stand up for you. It’s really laughable.”
“I don’t have the qualification？” Yang Kai grinned. “Sorry, but I really do have this qualification.”
Zhang Ao frowned, not understanding what he meant.
“I am the new Saint Lord of the Jiutian Holy Land. Do you think I have this qualification？” Yang Kai looked down at Zhang Ao and said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent and stared at Yang Kai stupidly.
Xu Hui and the others, however, were shocked in spirit. One by one, they were like generals who had received a great order. Their eyes suddenly lit up, staring burning at Yang Kai’s back shouting continuously in their hearts.
Admitted it！ Personally admitted it！
Admitted that he is the new master of the Holy Land, in front of these thousands of people.
Xu Hui even had an urge to look up to the sky and laugh maniacally. During this period of time, he had been constantly striving. Striving to make Yang Kai have a sense of belonging to the Nine Heavens Holy Land, but Yang Kai simply refused to relent. Although after returning from the Demon Realm, Xu Hui felt that Yang Kai’s attitude had changed somewhat, it was not until this moment that he finally felt completely at ease.
Personally admitting it in front of so many people had already solidified the identity of the new Holy Lord. Even if he wanted to go back on his word in the future, it would be impossible.
At this moment, including Xu Hui, a big stone in the hearts of all the powerhouses of the Holy Land had fallen. They were extremely gratified, and even the current difficult situation in front of them seemed somewhat insignificant.
The two beautiful women, Yu Ying and Cheng Yuetong, their pretty faces instantly lit up, and their beautiful eyes were filled with excitement.
Vaguely, they seemed to see the pillar that had fallen in the Holy Land standing up again, supporting the foundation of the Nine Peaks.
“New Holy Lord?” Zhang Ao’s face suddenly paled, and he stared blankly at Yang Kai, looking completely disbelieving. The steward Cao of the Battle Soul Palace also frowned, and his gaze became much colder.
Wu Jie of the Nether Sect let out a low strange laugh and muttered to himself in a voice that no one could hear： “Interesting, now it’s all in vain… There is actually a new Holy Lord already.”
These three forces gathered together, summoned and bewitched various powerful experts. It wasn’t just to destroy the Nine Heavens Holy Land and occupy its foundation. What they valued the most was the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
That was an inheritance that could ensure a person’s smooth breakthrough to the Third-Order Saint Realm. Who wouldn’t be envious？
As long as they captured the Nine Heavens Holy Land, caught An Ling’er, and let the elite disciples of their own sects combine with An Ling’er. In a few decades, a top expert could be created. At that time, their forces could completely turn around and become an existence not inferior to the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
So when they heard Yang Kai say this, both Zhang Ao and Manager Cao couldn’t help but feel a sense of frustration and anger that the treasure they coveted had been snatched away by others.
“Xu Hui, what he said… is it true？” Zhang Ao demanded, his face contorted.
Xu Hui took a step forward, his expression solemn： “That’s right. Our Holy Land already had a new Holy Lord more than half a year ago. It’s just that we’ve been busy these days, facing both internal and external troubles, and haven’t announced it to the outside world. Now that things have come to this, we won’t hide it anymore.”
Hearing him say this, Zhang Ao suddenly felt a bit disheartened.
His biggest goal had now been thwarted. Even if he could capture the Nine Heavens Holy Land, he wouldn’t be able to obtain that mysterious inheritance anymore.
Seeing his listless appearance, Cao Guan hurriedly transmitted a message with his spiritual thoughts. Zhang Ao’s eyes lit up, and his gaze suddenly became hot. He grinned ferociously and looked at Yang Kai.
Obviously, he had found a new target. As long as he could capture Yang Kai and An Ling’er, that inheritance could still fall into his hands.
The crowd was talking a lot. Many young people were envious of Yang Kai’s good fortune. Because once he became the master of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, it meant ascending to the sky in one step. No matter what he did before and what his cultivation base and talent were, he would surely stand on the cloud in the future, overlook the world, and become a hegemon in one side.
The envy gradually turned into jealousy. The gaze looking at Yang Kai was full of hatred, as if feeling that such good luck should come on themselves instead of letting this unknown kid take advantage.
Several miles away, in the gathering place of a force, two women’s beautiful eyes stared at Yang Kai without blinking. One of them had a curious and suspicious expression on her pretty face, and the other one had a ruddy complexion, her breathing gradually became rapid, and she was faintly excited.
“Hey, Yun Xuan, why do I think this new master of the Nine Heavens Holy Land looks like someone？” Ruan Xinyu of the Solo Pride League shouted in Yun Xuan’s ear as if she had discovered a new continent. “Look, look, doesn’t he look very much like？”
“He looks like, but it shouldn’t be him, right？” Yun Xuan gently bit her red lip. “He should be dead already…”
“Who saw him die？” Ruan Xinyu furrowed her brows. “We only saw him being taken away.”
“But if he didn’t die, why hasn’t he contacted me during this period of time？” Yun Xuan couldn’t help but look a little lost. A figure that she had missed for a long time also emerged in her mind. This figure gradually overlapped with the new Holy Lord in front of her, almost exactly the same.
Her heart couldn’t help but tremble, thinking secretly, could it really be him？
There was a distance of several miles away, and Yun Xuan couldn’t see too clearly. For a while, she didn’t dare to be sure.
Ruan Xinyu coldly snorted and said, “That brat must be a womanizer who played with you and then abandoned you. Why would he come to look for you again？”
“Don’t speak so loudly！” Yun Xuan was shocked. She secretly glanced at the two middle-aged men beside her and lowered her voice to say, “Don’t let my father hear. He doesn’t know yet…”
Ruan Xinyu pouted and said, “I think that person is definitely him. How could there be such a similar person in the world？ Unless they are twins！ He has ignored you, and you still want to protect him？”
“I don’t want to protect him…” Yun Xuan’s expression was a little awkward, and she continued to look at Yang Kai. The more she looked, the more she couldn’t take her eyes away.
Whether it was the figure, the voice, or the temperament, they were all exactly the same as in her memory. Her heart suddenly felt a little sour.
“Do you dare to go up with me to confirm？” Ruan Xinyu was indignant for her. “Get closer and take a look. You should be able to see clearly, right？”
“Now？”
“Of course now！” With that said, Ruan Xinyu pulled Yunxuan without saying a word and rushed towards there with her.
“Xuan’er…” Yuncheng, the leader of the Du’ao League, shouted. “Where are you going？”
“Leader, we’re going to watch the excitement and will be back soon.” Ruan Xinyu replied without looking back and soon went far away.
Yuncheng shook his head helplessly and couldn’t help but glance at the middle-aged man standing beside him and asked, “Ji Yan, you’ve been looking at that new Saint Lord and have a thoughtful expression. Have you found anything？”
Hearing this, Ji Yan quickly said, “Leader, do you still remember a major event that I reported to you a few years ago？”
“A few years ago？”
“The year when my Liehuo City was destroyed, and it was also the year when the leader and the eldest lady made up.” Ji Yan said.
“Oh, that matter. Of course I remember.” Yuncheng nodded slightly. That year, under the Du’ao League, a city was destroyed and the loss was heavy. But what made Yuncheng happy was that his daughter, who had always not talked to him, finally returned to his side.
Ji Yan was the city lord of Liehuo City. At that time, it was he who brought Yunxuan back to Du’ao City.
“What’s wrong？” Yuncheng was puzzled.
Ji Yan stared at Yang Kai, took a light breath, and said in a low voice, “Alliance Leader, if I’m not mistaken, this new Holy Master of the Nine Heavens Holy Land is the young man who was captured by the Coffin Carrier back then.”
“What？” Yun Cheng’s complexion changed, “Can you be sure？”
Ji Yan nodded： “It’s definitely him. Because at that time, he came to Blazing Fire City with the Young Lady and the others. I have a relatively deep impression of him. I think the Young Lady and the others should also have noticed something, so they wanted to get closer to observe.”
“Didn’t it say that he was already dead？” Yun Cheng immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. It was related to the mysterious powerhouse, the Coffin Carrier. If the news spread, I’m afraid it would shake the world.”
The Coffin Carrier has existed for countless years. Everyone wants to solve the mystery on him, but there has always been no way, and they simply don’t know where he is hiding.
If this new Holy Master is really the person who was caught back then, he must know some secrets that others don’t know, and maybe even the hiding place of the Coffin Carrier.”
“We all thought he was dead. But now it seems that not only is he alive and well, but he also has great fortune and has succeeded the position of the master of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.”
Yun Cheng’s face twitched, and he felt a inexplicable pain in his heart.
Because this new Holy Master might have been a disciple of his Proud Alone Alliance before.”
“But his strength has improved too fast, hasn’t it？” Ji Yan clicked his tongue secretly. “When I saw him back then, he was only at the eighth level of the Divine Travel Realm. But now, in just four or five years, he has actually reached the second level of the Transcendent Realm, on a par with me. How did he cultivate？ The young lady took a fancy to him, and there is really a reason for it.”
