Chapter 812
byA hundred miles away from the Nine Peaks.
In a dense forest, the figures of many martial artists were hidden here, not even daring to take a deep breath. The sunlight slanted down through the leaves, reflecting the faces of Zhang Ao and others constantly changing, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.
It had been ten days since they were defeated by theDemon Race and escaped with their lives that day.
In these ten days, whenever Zhang Ao thought of the scene of that day, he was filled with unwillingness. He had originally thought that he could successfully capture that kid and force him to ask about the inheritance of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, but he didn’t expect that theDemon Race would intervene at a critical moment.
TheDemon Race Great Venerable brought dozens of powerhouses and beat them to a rout.
To this day, the forces gathered around Zhang Ao and the others have long since dispersed completely, leaving only their Broken Mysterious Mansion, Battle Soul Palace, and Netherworld Sect.
With such strength, they couldn’t even chew through the original Nine Heavens Holy Land, let alone seek revenge on theDemon Race.
Moreover, the three of them also suffered heavy losses, and the number of experts left was not many.
Withdrawing at this point is undoubtedly the best choice, but Zhang Ao just can’t swallow this breath. He united so many forces but still couldn’t do anything to the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Zhang Ao seems to have seen the scene where the news spreads and his Broken Mysterious Mansion turned into the laughingstock of the world.
The blood and qi in his chest were churning, and Zhang Ao’s face became even more sinister and fierce.
“This despicable brat, actually dares to collude with the evil. It’s really hateful! Zhang Ao growled in a low voice, looking at the direction of the Nine Heavens Holy Land with red eyes, unwilling but helpless.
Cao Guan also had an angry look on his face and said in a low voice： “He dares to defy the world. When the news spreads, I think it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold on the continent in the future. ”
Wu Jie hehe laughed and said： “The Nine Heavens Holy Land is quite interesting. They actually joined hands with theDemon Race. It’s really unexpected. ”
“It may not be the idea of Xu Hui and the others. I have dealt with Xu Hui for decades and I still know something about his character. He couldn’t do such a thing. Probably it is because of that kid’s insistence.” Zhang Ao snorted coldly. “The most crucial thing now is how to capture him from the hands of theDemon Race.”
“That’s right. This matter is a bit difficult to handle.” Cao Guan frowned deeply.
“You still don’t give up！” Wu Jie looked at them in surprise and shook his head constantly. “With the protection of theDemon Race Great Venerable, what ability do you have to catch him？”
“Can he not come out for a lifetime？ If I don’t catch that kid, I swear I won’t give up.” Zhang Ao had a violent look on his face.
“I mean the same thing. What？ Brother Wu, you have taken our benefits. Now you want to back out？” As he spoke, he looked at Wu Jie sinisterly.
Wu Jie quickly raised his hand to signal： “Taking people’s money and eliminating disasters for others has always been the purpose of my Nether Sect. Since I have taken your things, of course I will help you to the end.”
“That would be the best.” Zhang Ao nodded in satisfaction.
While the three were talking, a warrior who had gone to Jiufeng to spy came back in a hurry. After saluting respectfully in front of the three, he reported, “Jiufeng has been occupied by theDemon Race. I couldn’t see a single disciple of the Jiutian Holy Land in there. There are only some aojun and strongDemon Race activities inside. They are busy, as if they are going to mine that rich crystal ore vein！”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ao and Cao Guan’s faces twitched, and they felt extremely distressed.
If it weren’t for the interference of theDemon Race this time, that rich ore vein would have belonged to them by now.
“Are you sure you didn’t see a single disciple of the Jiutian Holy Land？” Zhang Ao asked with a frown. This news made him very concerned. If they weren’t seen during the previous battle, it could be explained that they were hiding. Now that they still can’t be seen, it’s a bit thought-provoking.
“Yes, I and dozens of other people monitored the periphery for a day and a night, and indeed didn’t find any disciple of the Jiutian Holy Land.”
“There are thousands of disciples in the Jiutian Holy Land. There is no reason for them to suddenly disappear.” Cao Guan had a puzzled expression and pondered, “Brother Zhang, could it be that theDemon Race…”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ao’s expression changed. He sneered and said, It’s possible. TheDemon Race is not so easy to talk to. Maybe that kid failed to collude with the demon and was instead targeted by them. This is really a case of an ugly person making a fuss and shooting himself in the foot!
“That bastard deserves it！” Cao Guan also became quite excited, and his mood seemed to improve instantly. “But if that’s really the case, that bastard is now in the hands of the great demon. How can we get him out？”
Zhang Ao furrowed his brows and fell into thought. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn’t come up with a good solution and fell silent for a while.
……
In the spacious palace, Yang Kai and the great demon were sitting cross-legged facing each other. In the middle of the two, there were delicate spiritual array diagrams engraved.
Yang Kai endured his impatience and explained to the great demon.
Originally, he had already engraved those spiritual array diagrams related to the Metamorphosis Pool into the jade. But who would have thought that after the great demon examined them, he said he couldn’t understand and insisted that Yang Kai explain them in person.
Fortunately, this guy has good comprehension. Although he had never come into contact with these before, after ten days of careful teaching by Yang Kai, he could finally grasp the key points of those spiritual array diagrams.
The rest only needs to let him understand slowly. When there are any more problems with the demon race’s transformation, he can also guide and repair them by himself, and there is no need to rely on Yang Kai’s hand.
After Yang Kai finished explaining, the great demon gently let out a breath, and there was a hidden look of shock on his face. He muttered, “These spiritual array diagrams are in harmony with the supreme principles of heaven and earth and are of great benefit to the cultivation of martial arts. Who taught you these？”
“No comment!” Yang Kai smiled hehe.
“Well, it doesn’t matter. I don’t mean to pry into your secrets. It’s just that there are many mysteries and profundities hidden in these spirit array diagrams. With your current cultivation level and eyesight, you’re probably unable to see them. Although my attainments in spirit array diagrams are not as good as yours, my vision in judging people and things is much stronger than yours. Kid, cherish and study these spirit array diagrams well. One day, you will discover that the energy hidden within them is much greater than you think.”
Yang Kai furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.
“Previously, I heard you say that you are an alchemist？” the Great Demon suddenly asked again.
“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded.
“Since you are an alchemist, how about staying to refine pills for my clan？ I think your alchemist level should not be bad. Over the years, my clan has collected many rare materials that you humans will never be able to find.”
“No need.” Yang Kai stood up, “I’m not interested.”
“Don’t say that. Everything can be discussed. Tell me, what kind of treatment do you want? I can promise you.” The Great Demon smiled.
Yang Kai slowly shook his head： “I appreciate the Great Demon’s kindness, but I still have other matters to attend to and won’t stay here for long. By the way, regarding the Reflecting Moon Pool I mentioned to you, you must take good care of it. In the future, someone will come to investigate over there.”
“You’re leaving just like that？” The Great Demon furrowed his brows.
“If I don’t leave now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to leave anymore.” Yang Kai stared into the Great Demon’s eyes, without any fear or timidity.
The Great Venerable laughed, pondered for a moment, and then nodded and said, “Go ahead, and we’ll meet again some day.”
“Take care, Great Venerable. Maybe in a few years, I will come to take back the Nine Peaks, so you have to take advantage of this time to mine the resources of the Nine Peaks well.”
After saying that, without waiting for the Great Venerable’s reply, his figure flickered and disappeared in the palace.
After Yang Kai left, the Great Venerable’s expression became solemn, and he sneered, “A few years？ The kid looks down on people too much.”
Since he has brought his clansmen here from the Beast Sea Forest in a high-profile manner, risking enmity with the Human Race to help Yang Kai solve the current crisis, how could he only occupy the Nine Peaks for a few years？
“Great Venerable, just let him go like this？” Caidie appeared like a ghost, frowning and saying, “He is in possession of the secret of the Huasheng Pool.”
“But he also has kindness to my Monster Race.” The Great Venerable’s expression was complicated. “I know what you are worried about, but this kid can be trusted and will not easily reveal the secret of the Huasheng Pool. My Monster Race cannot do the thing of biting the hand that feeds us like the humans. Caidie, you should also give up any crooked thoughts. I know you want to arrest him, so take back your despicable idea.
“Yes.” Cai Die responded respectfully, glanced faintly at the direction where Yang Kai disappeared, and suddenly chuckled: “But he is also arrogant enough. First, he claimed that he could catch up with the pace of the Great Venerable in twenty or thirty years, and now he said that he will take back the Nine Peaks in a few years. I really don’t know what he is thinking.”
“Young and frivolous…” The Great Venerable snorted. “But… I always feel that what he said may come true. This kid is a bit strange, so I don’t want to touch him. I just want to see if he can really do what he said.”
“So that’s it.” A clear expression emerged on Cai Die’s face.
“You should smile more. You look better when you smile than when you keep a straight face.” The Great Venerable suddenly said.
Cai Die’s face flushed, and she glared at the Great Venerable： “Why is the Great Venerable saying such things like Crazy Lion？”
“Hahaha, beauty should bloom more. What’s the point of hiding it？ This is the same as being a person. What is needed is the true nature and acting according to one’s nature. In this regard, I really appreciate that kid. However, his straightforwardness is a bit lawless, and he will suffer losses sooner or later！” As he said this, a gloating expression emerged on the Great Venerable’s face, as if he had already seen the scene where Yang Kai suffered losses because of this.
Cai Die couldn’t help but smile, covering her mouth. She never knew that the Great Venerable actually had such a side.
Outside the Nine Peaks, Yang Kai felt a sense of awe in his heart.
Cooperating with theDemon Race is undoubtedly seeking skin with a tiger. A slight carelessness will lead to eternal damnation.
Although the Great Venerable had a good attitude towards him, when dealing with such a powerhouse, Yang Kai still had to be extremely vigilant.
After all, no one knew whether he would turn against him the next moment.
The gap in strength was still too great.
The Great Venerable of the Monster Race could have a friendship with the old Saint Lord because they were at the same height and had comparable strength to form a friendship. Although he was the successor of the old Saint Lord, he was just a Martial Artist at the Second-Order Transcendent Realm. In the eyes of the Great Venerable, this was nothing.
His Divine Sense was quietly released, and after confirming that no one was following him, Yang Kai felt relieved.
He was sure that if he stayed in the Holy Land for a while longer, he might not be able to leave. The Great Venerable would definitely force him to stay and refine pills for him.
