Chapter 860
by“He’s back so soon？ It’s been less than three years.” Cai Die furrowed her brows. “The spiritual energy here is much richer than that in the Beast Sea Jungle. There are spirit pills and spirit stones. We have grown a lot here in the past few years. Great Venerable, I don’t want to give up this place.”
The Great Venerable smiled and looked at her: “So what do you want? This has indeed made an agreement with him before. It’s just to take care of the Nine Heavens Holy Land on his, not to occupy this place. Now that he has returned, of course, this place should be returned to its original owner. Moreover, he has more or less shown kindness to myDemon Race. If it weren’t for him, the problem of the Metamorphosis Pool wouldn’t have been solved either.”
“Isn’t there any other way？”
“You can play tricks！” The Great Venerable chuckled, as if joking, and waved his hand： “Go and greet him.”
Cai Die lowered her head and responded, then disappeared with a flash.
On the periphery of one of the nine peaks, as soon as Yang Kai brought Li Rong here, a burly figure descended from the sky, causing the ground to shake. Without asking any questions, he shouted sternly： “Who dares to come to myDemon Race’s territory？ If you know what’s good for you, get out of here quickly, otherwise don’t blame grandpa for being impolite.”
While speaking, he was shaking his head and looking imposing, with his tiger eyes wide open, Youdaoplaceholder0 at Yang Kai and Li Rong. But the next moment, the expression of thisDemon Racepowerhouse became astonished and surprised.
“Demon Race’s territory？” Yang Kai also smiled. “Brother Kuang, what you said is not right. This is my Nine Heavens Holy Land. When did it become yourDemon Race’s territory？”
“Yang Kai？” As he shouted, the Crazy Lion rushed over in a flurry. Li Rong’s expression tightened, but seeing that Yang Kai didn’t give any instructions, she just stared warily at the wild man with a mane on his face in front of her and didn’t rush to take action.
Rushing to the front, the Crazy Lion laughed loudly and said, “Haha, I thought it was some blind guy. It turns out to be you. Why didn’t you say hello in advance when you came over?
“Isn’t this saying hello now？ We haven’t seen each other for a few years, and Brother Crazy seems to have grown a lot.”
“Thanks to you！” The Crazy Lion had a face full of joy. “Thanks to the crystal stones mined from your place and the pills refined by those alchemists. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made such great progress… But compared with you, it seems nothing. Why are you at the same level as me？”
The last time he saw Yang Kai, he was still a little worse than himself. Now that they meet again, everyone is actually at the Third-Order Transcendent Realm cultivation level.
The Crazy Lion originally thought that his progress was fast enough, but now when compared with Yang Kai, he couldn’t help but feel a little envious.
“Brother, you came back so soon. You don’t want to take back this place, do you？” The Crazy Lion asked with a bitter face.
“Yes, it’s been two or three years since I gave it to you to use. It’s been long enough. You should have mined a lot of crystal stones and such.”
“Just two or three years…” The Crazy Lion seemed very dissatisfied. “Forget it, anyway, this matter is not for me to worry about. You are going to see the Great Venerable, right？ The Great Venerable should be in the palace on the middle peak now. I won’t accompany you. Lady Cai Die assigned me here to guard the mountain gate. Hehe.”
“No need for you to accompany. Someone has come to greet me.” Yang Kai chuckled and looked at the colorful mist that was rapidly approaching from a distance.
A moment later, Cai Die flapped her wings and suddenly appeared in front of Yang Kai.
She just took a light look at Yang Kai and then cast her gaze on Li Rong.
As a powerhouse at the Second-Order Saint Realm, Cai Die felt a pressure from Li Rong. This feeling was quite inexplicable and couldn’t help but make her have an idea to compete with the other party.
“Miss Cai Die!” Yang Kai smiled and clasped fists.
Only then did Cai Die take back her gaze, looked at Yang Kai and said, “What are you doing here？”
Yang Kai was stunned when he heard this. He smiled faintly and said, “Naturally, it is to see the Great Venerable and let him fulfill the previous promise.”
Cai Die’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed and she said in a deep voice, “If it is about these nine peaks… How about letting my clan use it for a few more years？”
“This is not so good, right？” Yang Kai was a little helpless and gently shook his head. “My people are still waiting to live here.”
“Just a few years… After a few years, we will definitely withdraw from here！”
Yang Kai frowned slightly, looking a bit displeased as he said, “Is this the Great Venerable’s intention or yours？”
“The Great Venerable is not one who would go back on his word. This is my idea！ If you agree, I can give you some benefits.”
“And if I don’t agree？”
“I will make you agree！” Cai Die looked at Yang Kai stubbornly.
Yang Kai sighed and said impatiently, “I’m too lazy to talk to you！ Li Rong, help me stop her！”
“Yes！” Li Rong replied casually. With a flash of her delicate figure, she directly appeared in front of Cai Die.
However, Cai Die ignored her. With a wave of her plain hand, colorful rays of light enveloped Yang Kai. There was an incredible power hidden within those rays of light, which instantly wrapped around Yang Kai, seemingly trying to bind him.
But the next moment, Cai Die’s beautiful eyes showed astonishment because in this instant, she actually lost Yang Kai’s trace. Within the colorful rays of light, a strange energy fluctuation came. Yang Kai disappeared like a ghost. When she sensed him again, his aura had already appeared in a mountain peak more than ten miles away.
Cai Die was at a loss. Before she could think deeply about what method Yang Kai had used to break free from the constraints her, a Second-Order Saint Realm cultivator, Li Rong’s attack had already arrived, and she had to pull herself together to parry.
In front of the great hall, Yang Kai leisurely appeared and walked straight forward.
Walking into the great hall, he saw the Great Venerable of the Monster Race looking at him with a smile on his face.
“Great Venerable, long time no see.” Yang Kai greeted him as he walked towards him.
The Great Venerable shook his head and said, “It’s not been that long. It feels like I just saw you yesterday.”
“Great Venerable, what you said is too irresponsible. In the blink of an eye, it has been nearly three years since yesterday. I have come to retrieve my territory.” Yang Kai retorted.
“Don’t worry that I will stay here and not leave.” The Great Venerable couldn’t help but laugh. “Cai Die acted on her own initiative and attacked you. I will rebuke her. But who is the person you brought? Why do I feel that her aura is a bit strange?”
“What’s strange about it？”
“Just like you, her cultivation base can be seen at a glance, but when it comes to actual combat, it’s not the case. It seems that she can exert strength beyond her rank！” The Great Venerable said in a deep voice.
“Hehe, the Great Venerable is overthinking.” Yang Kai shook his head and did not continue to discuss this topic.
“Alright, give me half a month. I will let the clansmen evacuate from here.” The expression of the Great Venerable became serious again. “I hope that after this incident, we can still be on good terms.”
“Naturally. I still hope to obtain a lot of hard-to-find medicinal herbs from you. Just like when the old Saint Master was alive, each takes what he needs. How about it?”
“That would be the best！” The Great Venerable nodded in satisfaction.
Yang Kai was also very satisfied. He had originally thought that there would be some troubles this time, but he didn’t expect the Great Venerable to be so easy to talk to. It seems that he is indeed a trustworthy person.
Yang Kai felt more at ease dealing with such a person.
After talking for a while longer, the Great Venerable suddenly said, “However, there is one thing I don’t quite understand. Can you explain it to me in detail？”
“What is it？”
“Why do I sense demonic qi on you？ Although it’s very faint and weak, there is indeed a trace of demonic qi… and this demonic qi doesn’t seem ordinary. It belongs to a demonic qi of extremely noble bloodline, and it has a little similarity to my aura！”
Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly, knowing that what the Great Venerable felt must be the aura of the Dragon Emperor.
The Great Venerable’s original body was the Vermilion Flame Thunder Dragon, and it did have some relationship with the True Dragon.
As expected of being born as a demonic beast, his sense of smell was quite sharp.
“The last time I saw you, you didn’t have this kind of aura. What have you encountered in these years？” The Great Venerable stared at Yang Kai and asked seriously.
“I didn’t encounter anything. I just walked around and took a look.”
The Great Venerable couldn’t help but smile dumbly, knowing that Yang Kai didn’t want to say more and didn’t force him.
After making an appointment with the Great Venerable for the time, Yang Kai left, just waiting for half a month later to come over and take over the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
When he reached outside the Nine Peaks, Li Rong and Cai Die were still fighting in the sky.
Although it wasn’t a life-and-death battle, the two powerhouses of the same cultivation level still fought earth-shatteringly.
The fluctuations of the battle attracted many demonic powerhouses to watch below, and the Crazy Lion was even more staring and watched with great interest.
“Who is more powerful？” Yang Kai moved closer and looked up at the sky, asking.
“The woman you brought is more powerful!” She doesn’t seem to be using her full strength yet, and Lady Cai Die has already been forced into a fluster.” The Crazy Lion was in high spirits, commenting over there and chuckling, “Beautiful women fighting is really nice. Lady Cai Die’s clothes are torn, and it’s really enjoyable to watch.”
“Be careful if Cai Die hears this, she’ll pull out your tongue！” Yang Kai threatened.
“It can’t be that bad, can it?” The Crazy Lion was startled and said in a fluster, “I said it very quietly. She couldn’t have heard.”
“There may be ears the wall…” Yang Kai smiled and looked aside.
Following his gaze, the Crazy Lion turned his head and happened to see the Cat Girl with a pair of ears eavesdropping on the conversation here.
After realizing she was discovered, the Cat Girl giggled and stretched out a hand to the Crazy Lion, saying, “If you want me not to tell Lady Cai Die, give me all your crystal.
“Little aunt, I only have ten crystal left. The Crazy Lion had a bitter face and pleaded You are so magnanimous. Just pretend you didn’t hear, and this kindness will be remembered by the Crazy Lion for a lifetime.
“I don’t care. Anyway, give me however many you have.”
Yang Kai smiled and shook his head. Without paying attention to them, he shouted up to the sky and said, “Li Rong, let’s go.”
Hearing Yang Kai’s call, Li Rong immediately pulled back, calm and composed. She took a look at Cai Die with her beautiful eyes, flew down, and came to Yang Kai’s side, following him away.
Hovering in mid-air, Cai Die gasped for breath, her delicate chest rising and falling, and her heart filled with lingering fear.
She didn’t expect that with the same cultivation base of the Second-Order Saint Realm, the other party would be much more powerful in battle. After fighting for so long, she was completely suppressed and never gained the upper hand.
On the contrary, the other party was as calm as a cloud and as light as the wind.
This woman… is so powerful! Cai Die was both admire and unwilling.
She didn’t pursue either. After watching Yang Kai and that woman leave, she pondered for a moment, then with a vertical leap of her delicate body, she flew towards the direction of the main hall.
Judging from Yang Kai’s appearance, it seemed that he had reached an agreement with the Great Venerable. Although Cai Die was reluctant to give up the Nine Heavens Holy Land like this, she didn’t dare to smear the Great Venerable’s face. If the Great Venerable gave an order, she would do anything.
