Chapter 853

Just now, the golden light and the stern angry shout that injured Shirley gave Zhang Ao and the others hope. They secretly felt that as long as that expert arrived here, they would be safe and sound.

“That’s right！” Cao Guan also echoed, “Everyone, we don’t want to be enemies with you either. We were just deceived by that bitch Shirley and had no choice but to do this. How about we part ways here and never see each other again in the future？ It’s better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester…”

The people of the Ancient Demon Clan didn’t answer, only looking at Yang Kai with inquiring eyes.

Zhang Ao and the others immediately realized that he was the one who could decide the life and death of them. When they thought of causing trouble for the Jiutian Holy Land two or three years ago and chasing and killing Yang Kai for so long, their hearts couldn’t help but tremble. While secretly gathering strength, they looked at Yang Kai vigilantly.

Afraid that this kid would utter a word of ‘kill’.

Fortunately, the human race powerhouse who had injured Shirley dozens of miles away just now also quickly rushed over. After noticing the number of the incoming people, Zhang Ao and the others’ complexions lit up, and their hearts immediately soared. The somewhat worried expressions on their faces suddenly became unrestrained.

Because they discovered that there was actually not just one person coming, but five！

One was at the Third-Order Saint Realm, and four were at the First-Order Saint Realm. In the blink of an eye, they had already flashed not far from the crowd and were frowning and looking over here.

The leader was white-haired and had an otherworldly air. Although his name was unknown, he was clearly one of the top powerhouses in the world. The auras of the other four people were also quite strong, and it seemed that they had broken through to the Saint Realm for quite some time.

The five Saint Realm powerhouses who came here, four men and one woman, only took a glance at the scene before casting their gazes at Yang Kai, all revealing expressions of confusion.

That woman even quietly gave Yang Kai a angry look, gritted her white teeth and her mouth moved a few times. It was not known what she was saying.

But looking at her lip shape, it seemed that she was cursing.

The arrival of the five people increased Zhang Ao’s confidence. He clasped his fists towards that side and said loudly, “May I ask what your names are and which force you belong to？”

The elderly man in the lead glanced at him and frowned, saying, “Tianxiao Sect… Chu Lingxiao！”

“Chu Lingxiao?” Hearing this, Zhang Ao’s face lit up with joy and he said loudly, “So it’s Brother Chu. I’m really impolite. I’ve long heard of Brother Chu’s great reputation. Seeing you today, it really lives up to the name. Even that evil General Shirley fled at the sight of you. It’s really admirable.”

“Who are you people?” Chu Lingxiao looked at the Ancient Demon Clan and then at Zhang Ao and the others. He asked in a deep voice seemingly not interested in their compliments.

Zhang Ao and Cao Guan quickly reported their own names.

“Po Xuan Mansion, Battle Soul Palace？” Chu Lingxiao pondered for a moment and said interestingly, “What are the two of you who are more than a hundred thousand miles away doing here？ And why are you making such a big fuss.”

Seeing that he seemed to have some blame in his words, Zhang Ao couldn’t help but feel a thump in his heart.

Although this place is not close to Tianxiao Sect, it can be regarded as the territory near Tianxiao Sect anyway. They, these outsiders, should inform the owner of this place when passing by. However, this time when they came to the Snow Mountain, they only invited the two forces of Guyue Cave Heaven and Luoshengmen nearby to help with a large sum of money.

Because there are no powerhouses in these two forces. Zhang Ao and Cao Guan are not worried that they will make any waves.

Immediately explained： “We came here in pursuit of the clues of the Coffin Carrier. Unexpectedly, many demons suddenly appeared here. It seems that the Demon General Shirley is doing something disgraceful here and was accidentally discovered by us. If Brother Chu hadn’t arrived in time, I’m afraid we would not have escaped being poisoned！”

Zhang Ao said these words with a look of lingering fear on his face, as if it were true.

That Cao Guan also quickly echoed.

Li Rong gently sneered, with full hostility in her beautiful eyes： “Reversing black and white, these people are really powerful, Lord. Do you want to make them shut up forever？”

Yang Kai slowly shook his head.

This was not said in a low voice. The voice reached Zhang Ao’s ears, making his complexion change suddenly, and he shouted sharply： “Demon girl. In front of the top powerhouses of my human race, you still dare to be presumptuous？ Surrender obediently and spare your life！”

At this moment, Zhang Ao was like a different person from before.

Before Chu Lingxiao arrived here, he and Cao Guan were submissive and kept saying that enemies should be resolved rather than created.

But as soon as Chu Lingxiao arrived here, they changed their attitude in an instant.

This made Li Rong look at them with contemptuous eyes.

“Brother Chu！” Zhang Ao looked at Chu Lingxiao again. “These demonic thieves must be the manpower that Shirley has inserted in our human territory. Brother Chu doesn’t need to waste words with them. Just kill them all directly. And these two human traitors are in the same group as them！”

As he spoke, he pointed at Yang Kai and Wu Jie.

“Is that so？” Chu Lingxiao glanced at him indifferently and then looked at Yang Kai, sighing slightly.

He didn’t know why his grandson would be involved in such a troublesome matter. Moreover, judging from his appearance, he seemed to have a rather close relationship with those demons.

This kid… Chu Lingxiao shook his head secretly, feeling complicated.

“Lord, if this old guy really takes action later, you and Han Fei should retreat first. She will protect your safety.” Li Rong said softly in Yang Kai’s ear, secretly on guard.

Chu Lingxiao gave her a lot of pressure. As a strong person at the Third-Order Saint Realm, he was indeed already a top existence in the world.

And what Li Rong feared the most was the chain-like secret treasure that had injured Shirley just now.

That kind of pure Yang attribute aura was quite restraining to the demonic yuan in the bodies of demons. Especially when it was ed by a master like him, its power could not be underestimated.

After taking such a blow, Li Rong estimated that it would take Shirley one or two months to fully recover.

“Old guy？” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows, surprised and amused, and didn’t respond to Li Rong. Instead, he cupped his fists and saluted in the direction of Chu Lingxiao： “Disciple greets Grandmaster！”

“Grandmaster？” Li Rong couldn’t help but cover her small mouth, and her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, as if she couldn’t believe that Yang Kai and this human powerhouse had such a relationship.

Zhang Ao and Cao Guan also had a stunned expression on their faces. Only then did they suddenly realize that they had indeed inquired about such news before.

This person, Yang Kai, came from Tianxiao Sect！

It’s just that they were too excited just now and actually forgot for a while.

“Stinky brat, come here!” Fei Yu, who had been standing behind Chu Lingxiao, let out a Jiao Chi.

“Here I come…” Yang Kai had a helpless expression on his face and quickly walked over there.

When he arrived in front of several people, Yang Kai grinned dryly, looking embarrassed.

On the other side, the ancient demons and Zhang Ao, Cao Guan and others all looked at this side with strange eyes, pricking up their ears to listen, wanting to know what they would say.

Unexpectedly, Chu Lingxiao just waved his hand and cut off everyone’s detection, turning that area into an impregnable forbidden area.

“Why did Grandmaster and the four uncles come here？” Yang Kai’s face twitched, looking at the people in front of him with some unease.

Cang Yan said in a deep voice, “When that witch arrived here, the patriarch had already sensed it. He just didn’t know why she came here so he had been observing in secret. He didn’t show up until today’s battle. He gave her a heavy blow when the witch fled. Unfortunately, it seems that she still managed to escape.”

“So that’s how it is！” Yang Kai suddenly understood.

Although Chu Lingxiao had been in seclusion in that secret room all year round, the arrival of a powerhouse like Shirley within a thousand miles around still couldn’t escape his perception.

In an instant, Yang Kai had a clear and profound understanding of Chu Lingxiao’s strong strength!

Youdaoplaceholder0, he had been constantly guessing what kind of cultivation base this ancestor had.

Now it seems that it is indeed the Third-Order Saint Realm without a doubt.

After all, he had killed a Demon General back then！

“You brat, weren’t you discussing the alchemy dao with Old Du in Boulder City? Why did you come here? Fei Yu was both angry and amused. Last time, Mina had specifically gone to Skycloud Sect to pass on Yang Kai’s message to her, saying that he would stay in Boulder City for a while and asking his uncle not to worry. Fei Yu believed it to be true and didn’t go to Boulder City to look for him. Unexpectedly, they would meet here.

“It’s a long story… Where should this nephew start?” Yang Kai had a headache.

“Tell us what you can. If there’s something you can’t say, we won’t force you. I’m also very curious.” Chu Lingxiao looked at Yang Kai with a smile, his expression kind. He didn’t show any sign of blaming Yang Kai for being too close to the Ancient Demon race.

Yang Kai looked at him and then at the four uncles, and found that they were all looking at him with an inquiring gaze.

Nodding slightly, Yang Kai said, “Then this disciple will speak. The patriarch and several uncles better not be too surprised.

“Hmph, what could you have that would surprise us.” Fei Yu pouted.

“It has to start from when this disciple just came to this Tongxuan Continent not long ago…” Yang Kai thought for a while and then told the story of how he met the coffin carrier in Liehuo City. When they heard that he was captured by the coffin carrier and taken into a small profound realm, Chu Lingxiao and the uncles all showed expressions of surprise.

Yang Kai didn’t dare to mention that he had the Proud Bones Golden Body of the Demon God. He only said that he used the condition of rescuing the Ancient Demon race to make them submit to him.

Although there were some loopholes in this statement and many unclear points, Chu Lingxiao and his uncles didn’t ask too many questions and just listened quietly.

After understanding why those demons were close to Yang Kai’s side, Chu Lingxiao then pondered： “So, they completely obey you？”

“Yes.”

“There won’t be any resistance？”

“No！” Yang Kai said in a deep voice.

Chu Lingxiao stared at him intently, as if trying to see into the depths of his soul. It was a long while before he retracted his gaze and nodded faintly. “That’s good. Although you are not very old, you are steady in your actions and should not do anything harmful to humanity. Since they obey you, they can also be regarded as a force in your hands… However, remember that power is a double-edged sword. If used improperly, it may hurt yourself.”

Yang Kai thought about it and nodded seriously. “This disciple has taken note.”

“Moreover, you have to be prepared for the psychological state of being hated and targeted by countless people. If you don’t have this kind of awareness, I advise you to give them up. Once you accept them, the road ahead may be full of thorns, and you will be regarded as a life-and-death enemy by many people you know or don’t know！” Chu Lingxiao woke him up seriously.”

“This disciple has this awareness！”

“Then there is nothing more for this old man to say.” Chu Lingxiao smiled slightly. “However, the Tianxiao Sect cannot accommodate them. Where do you plan to place them？ You can’t take them to the Demon Frontier, can you？”
