Chapter 923
byYang Kai turned his head, stared at the direction where the beggar had disappeared, and sneered softly. Like a thunderbolt, he disappeared in place.
In the sky above Piaoxiang City, the beggar was speeding along, looking back at the direction of the palace anxiously. However he didn’t see the trace of the young man at all. In suspicion, he hurriedly searched, but unexpectedly, his eyes blurred and that person had actually caught up with him and was running side by side with him, looking extremely relaxed.
“You…” The beggar widened his eyes, looking as if he had seen a ghost. He simply couldn’t believe that he had been surpassed in speed.
What he was best at was the burst of speed. He believed that no one in the world could compare to him. Even the brilliant Evil Lord Yang Bai in the past had praised his speed and admitted that he was inferior.
But this youth had actually caught up with him from behind, and judging from his appearance, he didn’t seem to have used all his strength at all.
How could this not shock him？
“Shadow King, don’t waste your energy. You can’t escape!” Yang Kai snorted coldly, and a scorching force burst out from his body, like an invisible heavy fist, hitting the beggar when he wasn’t on guard. The beggar’s figure suddenly became chaotic, as if he had been severely injured, and he started to somersault in mid-air.
It took him a long time to barely stabilize his figure and stand in the void. His expression changed, and he looked at Yang Kai with a hint of fear in his eyes, and there was a thick sense of unwillingness and panic between his brows.
He didn’t expect that not only was he inferior to the other party in speed, but the other party also surpassed him in strength. Just from that one blow, he had already realized the huge gap between himself and the other party, and his thoughts of resistance and escape also faded.
The other party was right. In the face of absolute power, any resistance was just a futile struggle.
The power fluctuations outbreak in mid-air disturbed the warriors in Fragrant City, and they all looked up.
After seeing clearly the two figures in the air, many people exclaimed.
“Eh, isn’t that guy the beggar in front of Her Majesty the Queen’s palace?”
“Yes, he stays at the entrance of the palace all day long. I don’t know how Her Majesty the Queen can stand him.”
“If it were me, I would have driven him away long ago.”
“But looking at his current appearance, it seems that he is not just a beggar… This person’s strength is so remarkable. Why on earth has he fallen to this state？”
“And who is that young man？ He seems even more powerful.”
“……”
The exclamations continued, and the martial artists in Piaoxiang City all moved closer. They all wanted to see more clearly. In a short while, the streets and rooftops below were filled with people. There were even many brave martial artists who flew into the air and gathered around, putting on a look of watching a good show.”
Yang Kai turned a blind eye to this. The strength of these martial artists in Piaoxiang City really didn’t catch his eye.
“Yang family brat, do you really want to kill me all?” The beggar’s expression was sad and angry, and he let out a low shout.
“It’s not that I want to kill you all.” Yang Kai slowly shook his head. “I’m just very curious. The Flash Shadow King, one of the six great evil kings, actually disguises himself as a beggar and hides in Piaoxiang City. What are you doing？”
“The Flash Shadow King？” There was a burst of exclamations from below, and everyone was dumbfounded.
“No way？”
“That beggar is actually the Flash Shadow King？”
“He does look a bit like that…”
“So it’s really the Flash Shadow King who has been missing for more than ten years. We all thought he was dead. It turns out he’s still alive and right here in Fragrant Cloud City.”
“Fuck, when I passed by him a few days ago, I even spat on him… Am I doomed now？” The person who spoke had a pale face and was trembling with fear.
“I also kicked him… The Shadow King won’t come after me, will he？” Another person said with a mournful face.
The martial artists beside him all cast sympathetic looks, with an expression that said you’re doomed, making the person who spoke even more panicked.
“Fortunately, fortunately. The last time I passed by him, I even threw some money to him. Luckily, I had a kind heart, hahahaha！” Some people were sad and some were happy. Because of the exposure of this beggar’s identity, everyone’s expressions were different.
The Flash Shadow King, together with the Thunder Beast King, the Absolute Annihilation Poison King, the Yin Nether Ghost King, the Overlord Power King, and the Seductive Queen, are known as the Six Great Evil Kings.
Before the Evil Lord emerged, the entire Dark Cloud Evil Land was under the jurisdiction of these six people, confronting the Central Capital.
When the disaster in Central Capital came, the Six Great Evil Kings, led by the Evil Lord Yang Bai, all came out in full force and charged towards Central Capital.
But in the end, Yang Bai died in battle, and the Six Great Evil Kings also suffered heavy losses. Except for Shan Qingluo who was unscathed, the other five Evil Kings died four, and only the Flash Shadow King, relying on his own speed, escaped from Central Capital.
After that, there was no news of him.
Some people said that he was already dead, while others said that he had changed his name and gone into seclusion in the mountains.
After all, there were many masters in Zhongdu. If he still dared to show up, he might be targeted.
No one could have imagined that he would disguise himself as a beggar, hide in Piaoxiang City, endure humiliation and live a humble life.
If Yang Kai hadn’t come to Piaoxiang City to look for Shan Qingluo today, perhaps his identity wouldn’t have been exposed.
He could deceive others, but he couldn’t deceive Yang Kai’s perception.
With the cultivation base of the Transcendent Two-layer Realm, he was already the most powerful existence in this world. It was difficult for Yang Kai not to notice him.
“Kid from the Yang family, I’m no longer the Flash Shadow King. I don’t have any intention of being enemies with the eight great families in Zhongdu either. I’ve only been living here to make a living these years. Why are you being so overbearing？” the Shadow King shouted angrily.
Then why are you hiding your identity and staying in the front of Shan Qingluo’s palace? Are you planning to do something bad to her? Yang Kai snorted coldly.
“Do something bad to her?” The Shadow King was stunned for a moment and then raised his voice and said, “Are you misunderstanding something? I can stay in the front of her palace entirely because she herself agreed. Otherwise, do you think I would stay here?
“She herself agreed？” Yang Kai furrowed his brows, raised his hand, and a golden rope flew towards the Shadow King, directly binding him. “Whether it is or not, we can confront her later. If the facts are not as you said, you will surely die today.”
The Shadow King struggled for a while but found that this True Yuan rope was simply impossible for him to break. Moreover, with such a binding, he couldn’t use even a fraction of his strength. His face was filled with horror and despair, seemingly not expecting Yang Kai’s strength to have reached such a level.
He hurriedly said, “You won’t be able to find her. She’s no longer in Piaoxiang City.”
“Not here？” Yang Kai’s brows furrowed even more severely. He released his spiritual sense and indeed didn’t detect the aura of Shan Qingluo, and a hint of loss couldn’t help but surge in his heart.
“Where did she go？”
There are still a few people in the palace. You can go and ask them.” The Flash Shadow King said indignantly.
“Good!” ” Yang Kai nodded and, pulling the Shadow King, flew into Shan Qingluo’s palace.
The martial artists in Piaoxiang City watched this scene in shock, and their hearts couldn’t calm down for a long time.
The Evil Kings are the supreme combat forces in the Cangyun Evil Land, and each Evil King is a synonym for strength. But now, this youth who emerged from nowhere actually captured an Evil King with a single gesture.
As simple and easy as pinching a turtle.
This gave them a sense of unreality. Many people rubbed their eyes vigorously to confirm whether what they saw was an illusion.
All they saw was the gradually disappearing backs of Yang Kai and the Flash Shadow King.
Inside the palace, several maids heard the commotion and rushed out, just in time to meet Yang Kai who was walking in.
Seeing the appearance of the visitor, they all exclaimed in surprise.
The beautiful woman Yun Li and the maids Ruo Yu and Ruo Qing were still here. The three of them were also the ones sent by Shan Qingluo to serve Yang Kai back then.
“Young Master Yang？” Yun Li covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.
Yang Kai nodded with a smile.
“Shadow King… why are you…” Yun Li looked at the extremely distressed Flash Shadow King again, her beautiful eyes filled with complexity.
“Trouble you to explain to this brat from the Yang family. Did your master agree to let me stay in Fragrant Cloud City？” The Flash Shadow King said in a bad mood.
Yang Kai looked at Yun Li and said, “Tell the truth. Don’t be afraid of him.”
Yun Li felt was at a loss for words and nodded, saying, “Young Master Yang it is indeed the Queen who agreed to let him stay here and appointed him as a guard of the palace. Over the years since the Queen left, it was also the Shadow King who has been secretly watching over the entire Fragrant Cloud City, so that there has been no major unrest here. Outsiders simply don’t know that the Queen has already left here and only think that she has been in secluded cultivation.”
Yang Kai raised his brows in surprise. Since Yun Li had said so, it meant that the Shadow King wasn’t lying. He casually released the Netherworld Lock and said, “You just said that Shan Qingluo has long left the Fragrant Cloud City？ Where did she go？”
Both Yun Li and Ruo Yu Ruo Qing shook their heads. “We don’t know where the mistress went. But before she left, she seemed to have said something to the Shadow King. He should know some clues.”
Yang Kai turned his head and looked at the Shadow King.
The Shadow King mumbled something, as if cursing someone, and then said indignantly, “Shan Qingluo said she was going to look for you. I don’t know exactly where she went.”
“Looking for me？ She should know that I’m not in the Central Capital. Why would she look for me？”
“She didn’t go to the Central Capital to look for you. The words she said before leaving were very strange. It seems she mentioned some higher-level world, which is somewhat similar to what Yang Bai said back then.”
Yang Kai’s expression changed, and he suddenly remembered that when he left back then, he did say these things to Shan Qingluo.
“When did she leave？”
“Two years after you disappeared, she left. She said that there was a Soul-Tracking Seal of hers in your body. As long as she could find the world where you were, it would be easy to find you.”
Yang Kai nodded, confirming that what the Shadow King said was the truth.
There was a Soul-Tracking Seal of Shan Qingluo in his body. This matter was known only to the parties involved. Since the Shadow King knew about it, it should be that Shan Qingluo had mentioned it to him.
“What about Bi Luo？”
“Also took away.”
Yang Kai sighed, at a loss.
He doesn’t expect that witch would leave the Cangyun Evil Land in order to find him and even said that she would look for a higher-level world.
He didn’t know if she had really found it. If she really did, it would mean that she was also in the Tongxuan Continent. But why didn’t she come to see him？
Yang Kai completely lost her clue.
His heart felt a little lost. When that witch was pestering him Yang Kai was extremely annoyed and wished she would roll far away and not appear in front of him. But when he really felt that he had lost her, Yang Kai felt a little melancholy.
Suddenly felt that he was so bitchy.
“I’ve said everything I should say. Since I fell into your hands today, you can do whatever you want.” The Shadow King snorted coldly, looking as if he was ready to die.
