Mi Qi’s tightly clenched fists slowly relaxed as he replied, “Yes!”
“There’s no time to lose, move out now,” Yang Kai said, not even pausing for a moment.
Mi Qi could only helplessly wave his hand and pass the order to the Elders, saying, “Have you heard what Palace Master Yang said? Go…” Waving his hand, he wore a look of despair.
The Elders who had not yet recovered from their injuries looked at each other, unable to conceal the grief and indignation in their eyes, but even if they had grievances in their hearts, so what? They were not his opponent, and their Sect Master had already lowered his head, so they could only obey.
Immediately splitting up into different directions, they transformed into streaks of light and flew off. Although their injuries had not yet healed, they were still fine and could slowly recuperate along the way. At this moment, they finally understood why the two Monster Kings had not killed them just now. It turned out that they had been waiting here to save their lives.
This matter was premeditated.
If Full Sky Sect’s Prime Emperor Realm masters were all killed, who would be able to read Mi Qi’s decree? If it was anyone else, it wouldn’t be very convincing. Only the Elders and Protectors of Full Sky Sect would be able to do so.
It wasn’t hard to imagine that the news of Full Sky Sect pledging allegiance to High Heaven Palace would soon spread. Mi Qi let out a long sigh in his heart, his spirit greatly diminished, as if he had aged quite a bit.
“Stand up, don’t kneel, we’ll be family from now on.” Yang Kai glanced around at the surrounding disciples who were still kneeling on the ground and raised his hand.
Everyone stared at Mi Qi, not daring to move.
Mi Qi shouted, “Are you deaf? Did you not hear Palace Master Yang’s words? If you want to kneel, kneel until you die, you don’t need to get up again!”
A bunch of good-for-nothings. How did Full Sky Sect raise such a bunch of cowards? Although their cultivation was not as high as theirs, they shouldn’t have been frightened to the point of kneeling, right?
With a loud bang, the group of people no longer dared to kneel and instead stood up awkwardly.
Mi Qi snorted again, “From today onwards, you may not listen to this Sect Master’s words, but you must listen to Palace Master Yang’s words, understand?”
“Yes!” A few voices answered, all of them seemingly weak. Their Sect Master’s words had caused them to lose face.
Mi Qi squeezed out a smile, “Does Palace Master Yang have anything to say?”
Yang Kai waved his hand dismissively. What was there to say to them? All he needed to do was settle Mi Qi, then he turned to Old Tao and asked, “Senior, if you don’t mind, would you like to come inside and have a chat?”
Mi Qi felt the urge to roll his eyes behind his back. This was Full Sky Sect, not High Heaven Palace, but Yang Kai had obviously already treated this place as his territory, so he didn’t dare say anything. Since he had chosen to submit, Full Sky Sect really was his territory.
On the other side, Old Tao hesitated for a moment before nodding, “This old master won't be polite. Since that’s the case, this old master will be troubling you.”
He also wanted to understand the relationship between Liu Yan and Jiu Feng.
“Please!” Yang Kai stretched out his hand to Old Tao and politely said, and the two of them walked inside together.
The three Monster Kings followed closely behind, Mi Qi deliberately falling behind and walking together with Li Jiao.
The two of them could be considered old acquaintances. Last time, Li Jiao had come over to persuade Mi Qi, but unfortunately Mi Qi had not listened to him, thinking that by inviting Old Tao over, he would be able to rest easy. Unexpectedly, Old Tao was unable to help him avoid this disaster, causing him to end up in such a state. Li Jiao couldn’t help sighing and patting his shoulder, not knowing what to say.
Mi Qi sent a sound transmission, “Brother Li, you and I have known each other for many years, so our friendship cannot be compared. Tell me, why does Palace Master Yang want to humiliate my Full Sky Sect? This Mi has never offended him, and every year’s debts will be sent to him on time, but why does he want to act like this? He doesn’t care about my Full Sky Sect’s face at all.” Without giving him any time to breathe, he immediately ordered the Emperor Realm Elders to leave.
Originally, he had planned to delay for a while before thinking of another way to resolve this crisis, but now, how could he have the opportunity?
Li Jiao raised his head and looked towards the front, thinking to himself, What’s the point of trying to make friends with me now? The last time I went there, I was still chased out by you, but now he don’t have the mood to ridicule him, so he just smiled bitterly and said, “Does Brother Mi think Palace Master Yang is humiliating you?”
“Isn’t that so?” Mi Qi glared at him. If he didn’t humiliate him, why would he make him write an order for his own Emperor Realm masters to read?
“No,” Li Jiao shook his head.
Mi Qi asked, “Then why?”
“Establish Prestige!” Li Jiao spat out.
Mi Qi was stunned, “Establish prestige? To establish prestige?” Although High Heaven Palace had not risen for long, it was still considered one of the top Sects in the Northern Domain. This was publicly recognized by the entire Northern Domain. Since it was already a top Sect, what was the point of establishing its prestige? Who was there to show it to?
Li Jiao pondered for a moment before replying, “Palace Master Yang will unify the Northern Domain.”
The main point was that this matter couldn’t be hidden any longer. Li Jiao believed that Yang Kai would act soon, so there was no harm in saying it now, he wasn’t afraid Mi Qi would find out.
Mi Qi was stunned for a moment, his mouth agape like an egg. It was only after a long time that he came back to his senses and asked in shock, “Unify the Northern Domain?” This ambition was too great. The Northern Domain was not inferior to the other three domains where there was a Great Emperor Sect. Although Medicine Pill Valley had Wonderful Pill Great Emperor, Medicine Pill Valley did not interfere with the affairs of the Northern Domain, so the entire Northern Domain could be said to be like a group of dragons without a leader, unlike the Southern Domain where Star Soul Palace was the leader, the Western Domain where Shadow Killer Palace was the leader, and the Eastern Domain where Spirit Beast Island was.
Mi Qi had never imagined that Yang Kai’s ambitions would be so great, and that he would actually dare to act in such a way, so he asked absentmindedly, “Isn’t he afraid of inciting public anger, causing all the heroes of the North Region to attack him?”
Li Jiao pursed his lips and said, “That’s why he need to establish his prestige.”
Mi Qi wasn’t an idiot. Although he was a bit afraid of death, being able to cultivate to the 3rd order Emperor Realm naturally meant that his brain wasn’t too bad. Before this, he didn’t understand what it meant to establish his prestige, but now that Li Jiao had explained it clearly, how could he not understand?
Full Sky Sect was also one of the top Sects in the North Region, but so what? After being beaten up by High Heaven Palace, they had no choice but to submit and protect themselves. If even Full Sky Sect was forced to submit, what choice did the other Sects and families have? As long as news of this spread, when High Heaven Palace wanted to encroach on other places, no one would dare resist.
Immediately, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Because of this, my Full Sky Sect suffered an unexpected calamity?”
Li Jiao patted him on the shoulder again and sighed, “Think about it, at least your life is still here.” Speaking of which, Full Sky Sect was quite unlucky. Among the four top Sects of the Northern Domain, Ice Heart Valley had a close relationship with Yang Kai. He and Yang Kai had been traveling together for many years and had established a good friendship. If Yang Kai wanted to establish his dominance, Full Sky Sect was the only choice. It could be said that Mi Qi deserved to suffer.
Full Sky Sect was one of the top Sects in the North Region, so if it were any other smaller Sect, the effects would definitely not be so good.
Mi Qi let out a long sigh, but now that things had come to this, it was useless to say anything. However, after learning of Yang Kai’s plan to unify the Northern Domain, his mood became much better, because Yang Kai was not deliberately humiliating him and Full Sky Sect, but was just a part of his plan.
Soon, a group of people entered the hall.
As the master of this place, Mi Qi naturally immediately stood up and ordered people to remove the old feast and replace it with a new one. He ordered the musicians to sing and dance, and the hall immediately became a scene of singing and dancing.
However, the main seat was now occupied by Yang Kai, and besides him, the Sect Master of Full Sky Sect, there were no other Emperor Realm from Full Sky Sect. In their place were the three Monster Kings and the people from Fire Dragon Palace.
Yang Kai raised his glass and invited everyone to drink.
After three rounds of drinking, Yang Kai began chatting with Old Tao. Along the way, they chatted for a while and learned his name. The reason Yang Kai had asked him to host a banquet was mainly to inquire about Dragon Island from him.
After wreaking havoc on Dragon Island, he had left Dragon Palace Temple and entered the Lower Plane Star Field. He didn’t know what happened after that, nor did he know if Beast Military Great Emperor had taken Fu Xuan away, nor did he know if Dragon Island had punished Zhu Qing.
Unfortunately, even Old Tao didn’t know about this. He had been staying in the North Region to search for strange beasts on Spirit Beast Island for more than a decade now, so he didn’t even know that Beast Military Great Emperor had brought people to explore Dragon Island.
He didn’t know, and Yang Kai didn’t say anything, but his mysterious appearance made Old Tao somewhat suspicious.
However, regardless of whether Beast Military Great Emperor had taken Fu Xuan away or not, there was no need to worry too much about Zhu Qing. Zhu Qing was now a Ninth-Order Giant Dragon, and according to her pure bloodline, she was qualified to be Dragon Island’s Elder. With the previous incident, Dragon Island would not punish her.
Her situation was somewhat similar to Fu Xuan’s, both of them had joined forces with a human. If Dragon Island really wanted to punish her, Fu Xuan would definitely not be spared, so Beast Military Great Emperor naturally wouldn’t just sit back and watch. If Dragon Island wanted to punish Zhu Qing, they would have to punish Fu Xuan as well, otherwise it would be unfair.
Old Tao, on the other hand, was quite curious about Liu Yan and asked her about her relationship with Jiu Feng in a roundabout way, but after being brushed off by Yang Kai, he didn’t ask any further.
Neither side obtained the answer they wanted, so it didn’t affect them much.
When evening came and the banquet ended, Old Tao took his leave. Yang Kai asked Liu Yan to see him off while he, accompanied by Mi Qi, chose a suitable place to set up a Space Array.
Mi Qi didn’t know what Yang Kai was doing at first, but after communicating with Li Jiao via voice transmission, he learned the truth and secretly complained in his heart. With this Space Array connecting the two Sects, it seemed that Full Sky Sect could not escape from High Heaven Palace’s control.
The next day, Yang Kai led a group of people back to High Heaven Palace, Mi Qi accompanying them.
The first thing he did upon returning was to summon people for a meeting.
The participants were all at the Principle Source Stage or above, and there weren’t many of them. Li Jiao and Mi Qi were among them, causing many people who didn’t know the truth to look at each other in confusion. Li Jiao being here was one thing, his relationship with Yang Kai was quite good, so everyone knew what kind of situation Mi Qi was in.
Even Hua Qingsi was puzzled, glancing over at Mi Qi from time to time, only to see Mi Qi reveal a flattering smile, causing her to be confused.
When everyone had arrived, Yang Kai went straight to the point, “Sect Master Mi has decided that the Sect will belong to my High Heaven Palace. From now on, Full Sky Sect will belong to High Heaven Palace.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, almost wondering if they had heard wrong. Only the three Monster Kings remained calm.
