Chapter 865
byBound by a powerhouse like Li Rong, even if Nan Shenggu had extraordinary abilities, she couldn’t display them, so there was no need to worry that she would be disadvantageous to An Ling’er.
The sky was getting dark, but the entire Jiutian Holy Land was in a hot state.
Thousands of disciples of the Holy Land returned from the Holy Mausoleum, and there were many things to be busy with.
The Ancient Demon Clan followed Yang Kai and Xu Hui to that mountain peak and began to prepare to build their future residence.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
……
It was not until a full month later that the noisy Holy Land gradually subsided.
The mess left by the Monster Clan after their withdrawal was cleaned up, and the Jiutian Holy Land once again entered the track of steady development. On the mountain peak where the Ancient Demon Clan was located, houses of different sizes were also built everywhere, stretching into a continuous area, which was very exquisite.
When the Ancient Demon Clan was building their home, Xu Hui and others provided a lot of help, which made Li Rong and the others are quite grateful.
After getting along for more than a month, Xu Hui and these elders couldn’t help but change some of their views and instinctive repel towards the Demons.
They found that except for being of a different race and having a different nature of energy in their bodies, these Demons who followed Yang Kai were basically no different in other aspects.
Nor did they see them running around causing any incident. Every Demon was very law-abiding.
Gradually, the disciples of the Holy Land and the demons were also able to coexist peacefully.
Yang Kai was very satisfied with the current situation. Over the past month, he had never had a moment of leisure. One moment he had to deal with the matters of the Holy Land of the Ninth Heaven, and the next moment he had to deal with the people of the Ancient Demon Clan. He was busy here and there, extremely tired and with no time to spare, not even having the time to communicate with the Divine Tree.
Now that there was finally a stable landing point, Yang Kai wanted to bring out the Divine Tree in the Black Book Space.
However, considering the difficulty involved and the constitution of the people of the Ancient Demon Clan, he gave up on the idea.
The Yang Attribute energy released by the Divine Tree was simply too rich. Even the Ancient Demon Clan might not be able to bear it. Moreover, with Yang Kai’s current strength, if he brought the Divine Tree out of the Black Book Space, he was afraid that he would be exhausted again.
Only when he had occasional free time could he use his mind to escape into the Black Book Space and talk to the Divine Tree for a few words to soothe its lonely emotions.
He also learned from the Divine Tree that the two strange pitch-black round stones were still continuously absorbing the essence of rare ores. The rare ores that Yang Kai had placed in the Black Book Space had basically been consumed, all turned into powder, and the internal essence had completely disappeared.
After such a long time, the traces like human meridians that had grown inside the two pitch-black round stones were becoming more and more obvious and continuous.
Yang Kai felt vaguely that they were a bit unusual but he didn’t know what the function of these two pitch-black round stones that could absorb the essence of ores was.
On this day, Yang Kai was discussing matters with Li Rong and Xu Hui when suddenly a Holy Land disciple came to report： “Holy Master, there is someone outside the peak asking to see you.”
“Who is it?” Yang Kai frowned.
“The Sect Master of the Netherworld Sect, Wu Jie！” The disciple reported.
“Wu Jie?” Xu Hui slapped the table and shouted sternly: “How dare he! I haven’t settled the score with him for the last matter, and today he actually dares to come to my Holy Land’s Nine Peaks? He really doesn’t take the path to heaven but insists on barging into hell. How many people did he bring with him?
The disciple hurriedly said: “Only one person, but he seems to have caught two guys of unknown origin and is carrying them fainted in his hands.”
Xu Hui snorted coldly： “Daring to come alone, really not taking my Holy Land seriously？ Holy Master, let this old man go and teach him a lesson！”
Yang Kai laughed and said, “No need, Wu Jie is not an outsider.”
Xu Hui was stunned and a bit unable to come back to his mind, not knowing why Yang Kai said that.
That guy had once joined Zhang Ao and Cao Guan and others in taking advantage of the Holy Land’s misfortune. Xu Hui hated him to the bone and wished he could skin him, eat his flesh, and drink his blood to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Yang Kai didn’t rush to explain either. He said to the disciple： “Go and invite him over.”
After the disciple received the order and went out, Yang Kai slowly began to explain.
After learning that Wu Jie had shown goodwill to Yang Kai as early as two or three years ago and had been following Yang Kai closely some time ago, Xu Hui then said with a strange expression, “So that’s the case. I’ve long heard that Wu Jie is the best at managing interpersonal relationships and also knows how to judge the situation. It seems that his reputation is really well-deserved.”
“However, that he was able to show goodwill to the Lord a few years ago also shows that this person has good eyesight.” Li Rong pursed her lips and smiled. “Not everyone can see the potential of the Lord. People like Zhang Ao and Cao Guan have already reaped what they sowed and did not come to a good end.”
“Zhang Ao and Cao Guan are dead？” Xu Hui was extremely surprised.
“I forgot to tell you about this.” Yang Kai nodded slightly. “The high-level officials of the two forces, Po Xuan Mansion and Zhan Hun Palace, have all been wiped out and basically can no longer form a climate. Wu Jie is probably coming now because he has already dealt with the affairs of these two forces.”
“It serves them right！” Xu Hui didn’t seem to be very relieved. “I was still considering when to lead people over to settle accounts with them. Now it seems that there is no need for this. They are lucky. If they fall into my hands, I will definitely make them know what it means to be worse than death！”
Xu Hui cursed through gritted teeth, with a lot of resentment.
Li Rong pursed her lips and smiled at Yang Kai, a little unable to hold back her laughter.
After waiting for a short while, Wu Jie walked in from the outside wearing a black robe. Just as the disciple had reported, he was carrying two unconscious martial artists in his hands.
It was unknown what kind of these two martial artists had been hit with. There were no wounds visible on their bodies at all. They were like people sound asleep, with even breaths and an extremely peaceful appearance.
When he arrived in front, Wu Jie threw those two people on the ground and then clasped his fists and said, “Wu Mou has met the Holy Lord and Lady Li… Oh, and the Great Elder is well.”
Yang Kai and Li Rong smiled and nodded slightly. Xu Hui snorted coldly with a gloomy face. He didn’t really like Wu Jie very much and secretly thought that this person was a fence-sitter, swaying with the wind, and a sinister and cunning fellow. Deep down in his heart he was ashamed to be in the same company as this person.
Wu Jie didn’t mind either.
“Sit down！” Yang Kai gestured.
Wu Jie nodded slightly and sat aside.
A beautiful female disciple immediately served tea.
After drinking for a while, Yang Kai then asked, “Sect Master Wu, have you dealt with the matters of those two sects this time？”
Hearing this, Wu Jie’s face lit up with excitement and he said loudly, This is all thanks to the complete of the Holy Lord. For more than a month I have been busy. I have accepted two thousand new disciples. After giving some cultivation resources to those with not so good qualifications, they have all been sent away. Now, within a radius of a thousand miles, except for the Nine Heavens Holy Land, only my Nether Sect is left.”
“It must have taken a lot of effort, right？” Yang Kai smiled.
“It’s not a big deal. After killing a few leaders who resisted stubbornly, everything became much easier.” Wu Jie said casually.
“Well, congratulations. Your sect’s strength has increased greatly now. It depends on when Sect Master Wu will break through to the Second Layer of Saint Realm.”
Hearing this, Wu Jie’s expression darkened and he said with a bitter smile, “Holy Lord, don’t make fun of me. I know my own qualifications. If I don’t have a great opportunity in this life, I’m afraid I have no chance to reach the Second Layer of Saint Realm. The current cultivation level is my limit.”
“You still have a bit of self-awareness！” Xu Hui snorted, with a look of contempt in his eyes.
Wu Jie laughed dryly, knowing that Xu Hui had a lot of complaints about him and didn’t dare to say much. He just said, “So the hope lies in the disciples below. In the future, the Nether Sect will follow the lead of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, and I also hope that the Holy Lord and the Great Elder will take care of the Nether Sect more！”
“We’re all family, no need to be so polite！” Yang Kai nodded slightly.
Xu Hui’s expression softened a little. Since Wu Jie, as the head of a sect, had said such words, it made his resentment disappear a lot.
“Oh, by the way, these are all the cultivation resources collected from the Broken Mysterious Mansion and the Battle Soul Palace. I, Wu, made my own decision and kept 30 percent. The remaining 70 percent are all here. Please take an inventory, Holy Lord！” While speaking, Wu Jie took out several Qiankun Bags and handed them over respectfully.
Xu Hui looked at Yang Kai inquiringly, and Yang Kai nodded without a trace.
Only then did he stand up, take the Qiankun Bags handed over by Wu Jie, and casually swept his spiritual consciousness inside those Qiankun Bags. He couldn’t help but be overjoyed.
The Qiankun Bags sent by Wu Jie were full, all of them were excellent cultivation resources. And judging from the number of these Qiankun Bags, he indeed only kept less than 30 percent.
The warehouse of the Holy Land was now empty, and it was precisely the time when cultivation resources were needed. Wu Jie sending so many things at this time undoubtedly had a feeling of sending charcoal in the snow.
Xu Hui was very satisfied, and finally a smile bloomed on his old face： “Wu Sect Master is too polite. I hope our two sects can still be on good terms in the future and not have the same things happen as before.”
“No, please rest assured, Elder Xu. I, Wu, will not be as heartless as Zhang Ao and Cao Guan and others.”
“That would be for the best！” Xu Hui nodded in satisfaction, and his attitude finally softened a little.
“Well, there is one more thing that needs to be reported to the Holy Lord！” Wu Jie corrected his expression.
“Regarding these two people？” Yang Kai asked.
“That’s right.” Wu Jie nodded. “When I came to the Holy Land today, I accidentally discovered that they were wandering outside the Holy Land. Moreover, apart from them, there seem to be quite a few others… It seems that they are looking for something. So I casually caught two of them to ask about the situation.”
“Aren’t they the disciples who were disbanded from the Broken Mysterious Mansion and the Battle Soul Palace？” Yang Kai asked suspiciously.
“No.” Wu Jie shook his head affirmatively. “Both of these two have the cultivation base of the First-Order Transcendent Realm. If they were from the Broken Mysterious Mansion or the Battle Soul Palace, I would definitely have an impression, but I have never seen them before.”
“Wake them up and ask them what they are here for.” Yang Kai said unhappily. Now is a troubled time, and there are so many foreign martial artists wandering outside the Nine Peaks. It is necessary to find out clearly.
Yang Kai faintly smelled a hint of conspiracy, which made him very uncomfortable.
Wu Jie crouched down and snapped his fingers gently by the ears of the two people. The next moment, the two people who seemed to be sleeping soundly shuddered and woke up one after another. They immediately jumped up from the spot, their true essence surged, and they looked at Wu Jie, Yang Kai and the others with a vigilant expression.
