Chapter 995

The three apprentice of Yue Xi looked at the hideous face in the Soul Mirror due to anger and all showed an expression of incredulity.

Because it was indeed as He Miao said. There was a restriction of Lu Guichen in Yang Kai’s body. With his strength and means, he simply couldn’t untie it. On the entire Xuankong Continent, there were only two people who could untie that restriction.

One was Yue Xi, who had the same strength as Lu Guichen, and the other was that mysterious old man.

Although the mysterious old man has extraordinary means, his temper is strange and he probably won’t be so kind as to make a move to help. Yue Xi also didn’t help Yang Kai unlock the restriction.

Then how did he restore his strength？

And even if he has returned to his peak state, he is just a Saint Stage 1, how could he possibly be a match for Wei Wu who is a Saint Stage 3？

“Anyway, Wei Wu must have been killed by this brat！” Yue Xi’s beautiful face was filled with anger. “Daring to kill someone from my Sword League, I will make him pay the price！”

“Master, let’s find out the truth of this matter first.” He Zao quickly tried to persuade.

Yue Xi turned her head and glanced at her, and said faintly, “I know he has kindness to you two sisters, and we also misunderstood him before, but this brat is really a bit strange. You don’t need to worry about this matter anymore, I will handle it myself.”

Sensing the firm attitude of their master, the He Zao and He Miao sisters looked at each other and both had bitter expressions.

Although Wei Wu was their senior brother, they didn’t have much affection for each other. Instead, the two sisters thought he was quite annoying. So even if Wei Wu was killed, they didn’t care.

It’s just that Yang Kai is probably going to be in trouble now. They secretly worried and didn’t know how to deal with this matter, and couldn’t help but sigh.

In the cave, Yang Kai was like being poured with blood, his whole body was blood red, looking terrifying. He stood there, adjusting his state while restraining his own evil and bloody aura, and at the same time experiencing the pleasure after the restoration of his strength.

The regained power gave him an illusion of being reborn.

There was a burst of numbness from the huge wound on the neck, and the flesh and blood there seemed to be wriggling. Under the strong recovery of the Demon God’s Golden Blood, the rolled wound quickly healed again.

He wiped it casually and wiped off the blood scab there. The neck was once again intact as before. There was no trace at all of having almost been beheaded just now.

Just as he was staring at Wei Wu’s corpse, ready to burn it and destroy the evidence, a strange and sarcastic laugh suddenly came from the side.

Yang Kai’s expression changed drastically, and he suddenly turned his head to look. He was seeing that in the darkness, a figure was standing quietly.

The luminous strange stone that Wei Wu had been holding before fell at the feet of this figure, and the light shone on this person’s face clearly.

Seeing his face clearly, the power that Yang Kai had just raised involuntarily dissipated, his expression was solemn and the bitterness in his heart was worse than that of Coptis chinensis.

Facing this person, he simply had no intention of fighting with him.

Because this person with the strange laugh was the mysterious old man who originally lived on this continent!

He could easily severely injure Lv Guichen and Yue Xi. At least he was a strong person in the Return to Void Realm. Yang Kai, who was in the First Layer of Saint Realm, was as small as an ant in front of him.

“Senior…” Yang Kai frowned and shouted.

He didn’t know when this old fellow had come here. He seemed to have been standing there all along, as ethereal as a ghost, and an uncomfortable and eerie aura was emanating from him, making the entire cave feel spooky and eerie.

“Cruel and merciless, not bad, not bad！” The old man cackled strangely, and there was actually a hint of appreciation in his eyes as he looked at Yang Kai with great interest. “With the cultivation base of the First-Order Saint Realm, you were actually able to kill a Third-Order Saint Realm enemy head-on. Do you have some external force to borrow？”

Hearing his question, Yang Kai immediately understood that the old man hadn’t seen the scene where he had clashed with Wei Wu just now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked such a question.

“Yes！” Yang Kai nodded slightly and had no intention of hiding it.

“It seems that this little fellow has had quite a few fortuitous encounters. No wonder he was able to cultivate to such a level at such a young age.” The old man looked at Yang Kai approvingly and nodded with satisfaction. “Not bad, really not bad. The physical body is also very strong, far exceeding that of warriors of the same level, almost reaching the strength of the Saint King Realm. And there are two or three different attribute forces in the body, which can actually coexist perfectly.”

He casually exposed Yang Kai’s secrets as if his eyes could see through everything and clearly see the capital that Yang Kai possessed.

Yang Kai shuddered involuntarily and couldn’t help but change his complexion.

The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white fangs： “Don’t worry, I won’t snatch your things. These things of yours don’t have much use for me. However…”

His tone changed, and his expression suddenly became sinister： “I said before, no one should cause trouble here. On my territory, your cheap lives belong to me. Whoever dares to deprive them easily, I will make them pay the price！”

“He made the first move!” Yang Kai defended ed.

“I don’t care who made the first move！” The old man snorted, and strands of cold and dark evil energy suddenly surged out from his body. That evil energy was like the incarnations of demons, full of evil and violent auras. As soon as they appeared, they all pointed their spears at Yang Kai and surged towards him.

In an instant, Yang Kai was covered by this evil energy, and his whole person seemed to fall into a black curtain and all the light disappeared.

A desperate atmosphere spread.

Yang Kai trembled all over, and an illusion of being gnawed to the bone suddenly rose in his whole person. It seemed that those demons could devour his flesh and blood and swallow his power.

He gritted his teeth and remained silent, resisting with all his strength.

The old man’s strange laughter rang in his ears： “Ten breaths. If you can hold on for ten breaths, I will spare your life！ Otherwise, become their meat！”

These words entered Yang Kai’s ears, causing his spirit to tremble and once again seeing a glimmer of hope.

So he worked even harder to urge the power within himself to resist the evil energy that had invaded his body.

Time passed bit by bit. Quietly watching Yang Kai and detecting his movements, the old man couldn’t help but brighten his eyes and his expression changed.

He seemingly didn’t expect that Yang Kai not only had a solid physical body but also such a tough will.

Even experts like Lu Guichen and Yue Xi, once invaded by these demonic shadows might not necessarily be able to hold on for ten breaths. Under the influence of that evil aura, they would lose their consciousness, become crazy, and then be devoured by the demonic phantom until there was no flesh left.

But this young man with only the First-Order Saint Realm cultivation level had been resisting all along, doing his best to resist and striving to maintain the clarity of his mind, not being confused by external forces.

After ten breaths, the old man waved his hand, and the demonic phantom that had invaded Yang Kai’s body suddenly shot out and drilled back into the old man’s body.

Yang Kai collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, sweating profusely and with a pale face, but he still looked at the old man with firm eyes and said urgently, “I hope senior won’t go back on his word！”

The old man was stunned and couldn’t help but burst out laughing. The laughter echoed in the cave, making people’s hair stand on end.

“Lad, I have to say, although the yang-attribute energy in your body makes this old man very unhappy, but another completely different power I like very much. Hehe, it seems you are also a person in this way. Well, you will live. This old man always keeps his word.”

Yang Kai let out a heavy breath.

“You refined a pill to break the restriction on your body?” The old man suddenly asked a thoughtless question.

“Yes！” Yang Kai sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth to start recovering.

“What kind of pill can you refine？” The old man seemed to be somewhat interested in this.

“With my strength, I can only refine a Saint King lower-grade pill for now.”

“It seems that you not only have some immersion in martial arts, but also have a rather high attainments in alchemy. The old man had a look of surprise on his face, and then grinned and said, “But lad, if you divide your attention like this, you may not be able to handle it in the future. Either focus on martial arts or focus on alchemy. Otherwise, in the future, you will be neither high nor low in both fields, and you will regret it.”

“Thank you for the reminder, senior. I learn alchemy just to assist my martial arts.”

“Your future has nothing to do with this old man. This old man just said it casually. Stop talking nonsense and come with this old man！” As the old man said this, he waved his sleeve, and a film-like force accurately enveloped Yang Kai.

The next moment, Yang Kai felt himself flying at a high speed.

That speed was even faster than that of controlling a star shuttle, which made Yang Kai couldn’t help but change his expression slightly. He really didn’t know how profound the cultivation base of this mysterious old man was.

Not a moment later, the old man suddenly stopped and put Yang Kai down, instructing, “Wait here and don’t run around if you have nothing to do！”

Yang Kai looked around and found that this place was the mountainside of the peak where the old man lived.

There was a large flat ground on that mountainside, and in the center of it, rows and columns of saint crystals were arranged in a strange way, gathering into a strange great array.

In the center of the great array, there was a bronze gate, and on the door frame and base of that gate, a great many of extremely high-grade saint crystals were laid.

The entire mountainside was filled with spiritual energy, and the mist condensed by energy filled the sky above, making this place look like a fairyland.

The eerie old man like a fierce ghost was so out of place with the scenery here.

Yang Kai remained silent, not saying a word, quietly sitting in place, recovering himself while observing the surroundings.

He didn’t know what the old man brought him here for, but getting along with such a moody and strangely tempered powerhouse, Yang Kai was under tremendous pressure and didn’t dare to have any strange actions for fear of causing his misunderstanding.

The old man was shuttling around and busy in that great array, constantly adjusting the positions of the saint crystals and the structure of the great array.

Not long after, streaks of cyan rainbows suddenly shot over from all directions.

Those were the warriors of the Purple Star and the Sword Union controlling star shuttles and approaching this side.

Everyone, very tacitly, all gathered at this flat area on the mountainside. One by one, they landed carrying big and small bags, each looking for a position and whispering in groups of three or five.

Obviously, they were only brave enough to come here because they were summoned by the old man. But seeing their blank expressions, they clearly didn’t know why the old man would summon them either.

A moment later, three more beautiful figures landed from the side. They were exactly the Yue Xi and He Zao He Miao sisters of the Sword Union.

As soon as Yue Xi arrived here, a pair of phoenix eyes swept around. In an instant, they were fixed on Yang Kai, and her pretty face was filled with anger as she quickly walked towards this side.
