Chapter 861

Lord, has the matter been settled？” On the way back, Li Rong asked softly.”

Well, the Great Venerable is quite reasonable and is also willing to fulfill the previous agreement.” Yang Kai nodded.”

That’s good！” Li Rong also seemed to have let out a sigh of relief. She followed Yang Kai closely, pursed her red lips, and seemed to want to say something, but stopped short.”

Youdaoplaceholder0 her strangeness, Yang Kai smiled and said, “If you have anything to ask, just ask. Don’t be restrained.”

Ever since leaving the Little Mysterious Realm, he had discovered that the attitude of these people from the Ancient Demon Clan towards him had changed. They had become more respectful, more obedient, and more submissive than before.

Their attitude had invisibly elevated Yang Kai’s status among the Ancient Demon Clan.

This made Yang Kai a little unaccustomed.

I was just thinking whether our clan has brought a lot of trouble to the Lord! Li Rong smiled apologetically. “The hatred between the human and demon clans is too deep. With us following you, it will surely attract some unnecessary incident. Those human powerhouses who followed all the way here are the best proof. If we really fought with them today, regardless of victory or defeat, then the Lord would surely be pointed fingers at by thousands of people…”

“This is the price that must be paid for mastering your power. You don’t have to think too much.” Yang Kai shook his head. “Moreover, I don’t need to care about what others think of me. Those who are useful to me are my friends. Those who dare to be bad to me are my enemies. It’s simple and clear. What does the hatred between the human and demon clans have to do with me?”

Li Rong’s beautiful eyes were bright, secretly surprised that Yang Kai’s thoughts were actually so open-minded.

Even their Ancient Demon Clan, which had been sealed in the Little Mysterious Realm for thousands of years, had a deep-rooted thought of excluding one’s own. Non-my race, its heart must be different. The gaze towards the same clan and the exotic would naturally be different.

But with Yang Kai, there was not much of a racial concept.

He had accepted the Ancient Demons, even interacted with the Great Venerables of the Monster Race and became brothers with those powerful Monster Race individuals… It seemed he had no scruples at all, which continuously amazed Li Rong.

Lord, please rest assured. After everything stabilizes, I and the other several commanders will definitely restrain our clansmen and prevent them from clashing with the original residents of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, nor will we do anything to make the Lord feel embarrassed,” Li Rong promised.

There’s no need to go to such lengths deliberately. To me, you all are mine, and so are those people in the Nine Heavens Holy Land. I will be fair,

Thank you, Lord,” Li Rong said with a hint of gratitude.”

Yang Kai did not have any prejudice against them just because he was of the Human Race. Li Rong secretly felt that the Ancient Demon Race had followed a good master.

Once again returning to the location where the Ancient Demon Race was temporarily staying. Yang Kai told the several commanders that he could only take over the Nine Heavens Holy Land half a month later and asked them to arrange for their clansmen to stay here for half a month first. When the time limit was up, they would prepare to enter the Nine Peaks.

The commanders accepted the order and went down to make arrangements one after another.

Staying here for half a month was no problem. The Ancient Demon Race had just reemerged in the world not long ago, and any place was novel and curious to them. This was also a good opportunity to explore and familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.

After all, they might have to live in the Nine Peaks for a long time in the future.

Groups of three or five Ancient Demon Race people were dispatched to investigate the surrounding situation.

The people who remained behind began to build simple dwellings, search for food ingredients, and were bustling with activity.

It was a scene of prosperity.

A slight sound of footsteps came from the side. Yang Kai, who was sitting under a tree shade, looked over and saw Wu Jie, who was wrapped in a black robe, walking towards this side.

When he got close, Wu Jie slightly nodded his head： “Holy Lord！”

“Where are the disciples of your Nether Sect？” Yang Kai asked. Just now, he didn’t seem to see the people of the Nether Sect.

“I have already asked the deputy sect master to take them back first. Well, they will send some living supplies over later.”

“Thank you.”

“Holy Lord is too polite.” Wu Jie smiled. “In the future, everyone will be neighbors. Such a small matter is not worth mentioning.”

After a pause, Wu Jie asked again： “How does the Holy Lord plan to deal with the matters of the Broken Mystery Mansion and the Battle Soul Palace？”

“What do you think？” Yang Kai asked in return.

Wu Jie pondered for a while and said seriously： “Although Zhang Ao, Cao Guan and others have died in that endless snow mountain, and the extraordinary saint realm powerhouses of these two forces have suffered heavy losses, there are still some disciples under their respective sects. The number of each sect is not small, there are three or four thousand people. These three or four thousand people don’t have many experts, but they are the foundation of their respective sects.”

“Kill them all…”

Wu Jie was shocked and his face turned pale.

Yang Kai smiled and continued, “It’s also not realistic. Driving them away isn’t a good method either. There’s no guarantee that they won’t wander around here and cause additional chaos.”

“What the Saint Lord said is right.” Wu Jie nodded in agreement. “Moreover, they surely don’t know that Zhang Ao, Cao Guan, and the others have all lost their lives in the endless snow-capped mountains. Once they find out, there will definitely be turmoil within them. If that really happens, it will be a mess and impossible to clean up.”

“Tell me your thoughts.” Yang Kai looked at him.

“My meaning is to absorb them！ There are so many disciples in the two sects. Among them, there must be some with outstanding qualifications who can become experts in the future. If they are cultivated, they can also become the mainstay of our side.”

“Absorb… that’s also okay. You can handle this matter as you see fit.” Yang Kai waved his hand.

Wu Jie was stunned: “Isn’t the Saint Lord going to show up?”

“I’m not interested in those people, and I’m now leading a group of Demon Race people, so it’s not appropriate for me to show up either.” Yang Kai chuckled and said with deep meaning, “Sect Master Wu can take this opportunity to strengthen the strength of the Nether Sect. Absorb those who can be absorbed and drive away those who can’t！ The Broken Profound Mansion and the Battle Soul Palace are also quite good forces. There must be a lot of storage inside.”

Wu Jie’s expression changed. After thinking for a while, he excitedly cupped his fists and said, “Thank you for the Saint Lord’s for doing so!”

The three forces near the Nine Heavens Holy Land have always relied on the Nine Heavens Holy Land to survive. Among them, the Po Xuan Mansion has the strongest strength, and Zhang Ao also has the cultivation base of the Second-Order Saint Realm. The Battle Soul Palace is the second, and the Netherworld Sect is at the bottom.

Now that Wu Jie has got such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can he not be excited？

There are no stronger people in these two sects who can fight against him. As the master of a sect, if he can’t handle this kind of thing well, it will be a waste of his cultivation to the Saint Realm.

Wu Jie seems to have seen the scene where his Netherworld Sect absorbs the nutrients of the other two forces and grows stronger.

Besides being excited, he also feels a little emotional.

If it weren’t for Zhang Ao and Cao Guan’s own actions, when would there be a chance for him, Wu Jie, to stand out？ He secretly felt that following Yang Kai was really promising. It hadn’t been long, and he didn’t contribute much, but a great opportunity was placed in front of him.

In excitement, Wu Jie immediately said that he would return to the sect immediately to deal with this matter, and by the way, invited Yang Kai to go to the Netherworld Sect for a few days.

Anyway, he had to wait here for half a month, so he naturally had to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Yang Kai.

Yang Kai declined his invitation.

“Your Netherworld Sect is only a few hundred miles away from here. I’ll go there when I want to go. Forget it for now.” Yang Kai looked at the busy Ancient Demon Race people around him and felt that it wasn’t a good choice to leave them now.

Wu Jie didn’t force it either. After offering an apology, he immediately set off and left.

One day later, the disciple of Netherworld Sect returned and brought back a large amount of living supplies, which was enough for thousands of people to live here for half a month.

Li Rong and the others were greatly satisfied with Wu Jie’s show of friendship.

Tents were set up one by one in this forest. The Ancient Demon Tribe people, with curiosity, lived in them in groups of three or five, and were extremely busy every day.

Inside the largest tent, Yang Kai sat cross-legged on a thick fluffy blanket, his mind immersed in the sea of consciousness, and began to purposefully refine the mass of soul energy belonging to Zhang Ao.

Two months ago, after Zhang Ao died, the World Annihilation Demon Eye attracted his soul energy, and Yang Kai arranged it in a special corner.

Yang Kai mainly wanted to pry into his memories and see the matters regarding the secrets of the starry sky that he had mentioned before his death.

Not using the World Annihilation Demon Eye to purify this mass of energy, Yang Kai only carefully guided it with his mind and probed and peeked bit by bit.

After a person dies, the remaining soul energy contains this person’s life experiences and all his emotions. If left alone, it will dissipate between heaven and earth before long.

Of course, there are also strong people whose souls are strong enough to persist for a long time. After finding a suitable physical body, they can seize the body.

Such soul energy is complex and dangerous. Even experts who specialize in divine consciousness power dare not easily pry into and read the thoughts of others, because a slight carelessness will affect their own nature and memory, and perhaps even their own thinking will become disordered.

It is because Yang Kai has the divine consciousness fire that he dares to do this.

But he still has to be extremely careful. While prying, he cannot let Zhang Ao’s memory and thinking affect himself. Once he finds such a sign, he will immediately kill it.

Scenes after scenes flashed before Yang Kai’s eyes, all of which were things that Zhang Ao had experienced during his lifetime.

These scenes were intermittent and very incoherent. Yang Kai looked at them in a cursory manner and ignored them.

The divine consciousness power was consumed very quickly. Almost every two hours, Yang Kai had to rest for a while.

Wait until he has completely recovered and then continue to pry.

It was not until five days later that Yang Kai finally pried into a scene about the secret of the starry sky from that scattered and useless memory.

Vaguely, a rocky forest with jagged rocks could be seen. One by one, stone pillars stood on the ground covered with green grass. It was here that Zhang Ao picked up many strange stones.

The blood essence stone was also discovered by him here.

In the field of vision, it seems that Zhang Ao has done something. The entrance of a void corridor suddenly opened. After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Ao drilled in.

The next moment, he found himself in the vast starry sky, with stars twinkling all around. The terrifying force of the void pressed down on him, and Yang Kai felt it deeply.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, this scene suddenly broke off for no reason.

His consciousness returned to his body, and Yang Kai let out a sigh. Although he hadn’t been able to figure out exactly where that stone forest was, it should be within the Po Xuan Mansion. As long as he made some inquiries, he would be able to find out.

With a thought, the World-Destroying Demon Eye opened, and a golden light shot down. Zhang Ao’s soul energy was completely purified.
