Seeing this scene, Yang Kai and his Embodiment no longer hesitated and quickly used their respective Divine Abilities to bombard the Plain Palace's Great Array.
Amidst the ancient and profound Dragon Language, the Secret Arts of the Dragon Race transformed into golden dragons one after another, and the flames on the Embodiment’s body also burst into flames, turning the place it stood into a sea of flames that burned the light barrier.
For a time, layers of ripples appeared on the light curtain of the Great Array and light flashed wildly.
Seeing this, Lei Gu coldly snorted and took out an Array Flag, waving it around to stabilize the Array. Although he had been corrupted by Demonic Consciousness and his temperament had changed greatly, he was still able to easily control everything that Lei Gu had. This Array Flag was the main Array Flag of the Plain Palace's Great Protection Array, and with his ability, the Array immediately became impregnable.
Seeing this, Yang Kai’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. If the Spirit Array wasn’t broken, how was he supposed to enter the Plain Palace? How was he supposed to save Wen Zishan and the others? How was he supposed to avenge the dead? For a moment, Yang Kai’s heart burned with anxiety. Could it be that he really had no choice but to go to Star Soul Palace to ask for help? But after a few days of delay, who knew what would happen to Wen Zishan and the others? They might even be corroded by the Demonic Qi and become a Demon.
Since Lei Gu dared to make a move at this time, he obviously had great confidence.
Turning his head to look, he saw that the Embodiment’s body was covered in raging flames and was currently burning the Great Array, but from the looks of it, it was impossible to break the array in a short time, even if he cooperated.
Lei Gu coldly said again, “Junior, you’ve ruined my plans, I’ll make you beg for death.”
This time, there was a flaw in the plan. If Yang Kai didn’t die, the news would definitely spread. In other words, the plan had failed. Fortunately, it hadn’t been a complete failure, and with so many Emperor Realm and tens of thousands of cultivators trapped, it was better than nothing.
If so many of them were to undergo Demon Transformation, it would definitely be a force not to be underestimated, one that would be able to open up the situation for the future.
Suddenly, Yang Kai stopped and retreated, coldly staring at Lei Gu as he shouted, “Temple Master, can you last a day?”
Hearing this, Lei Gu’s brow wrinkled. He didn’t know what Yang Kai meant by this day’s time, but judging from the current situation, the best course of action for this little brat was to go to Star Soul Palace and ask for help. However, the distance to Star Soul Palace was far, so how could he return in a day’s time? Even if he was proficient in Space Abilities, he wouldn’t be able to accomplish this.
Wen Zishan’s voice came from the Plain Palace, “We will do our best!”
Another voice rang out, “Little brat, what are you still blabbering about? Hurry up and go to Star Soul Palace!” It was the voice of Heavenly Martial Holy Land’s Holy Master Ma Qing, sounding somewhat exasperated, as if he hadn’t expected Yang Kai to still be here.
Yang Kai stared deeply at Lei Gu and shouted, “Good, everyone, persevere! One day later, I will save everyone from this bitter sea!”
Saying so, he turned around and walked away. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the cold corpse on the hill and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if he had been grabbed by a hand. [TL: it will be his heart demon if not treated.]
After a few flashes, he disappeared from Lei Gu’s sight, and after he left, Lei Gu stopped activating the Spirit Array flags and the light from the Sect Protecting Array gradually subsided. He turned to look at his Embodiment and asked, “Holy Spirit Stone Flame?”
The Embodiment stood tall and looked down at Yang Kai from the other side of the Great Array, its two eyes like two burning flames. It was connected to Yang Kai’s heart, so it didn’t need much communication to understand Yang Kai’s intentions. At the same time, because of Yu Zhuo’s death, it was filled with anger and guilt. The reason why it stayed here was to restrain Lei Gu’s energy so that he couldn’t focus on dealing with Wen Zishan and the others. On the other hand, it was also to wait for an opportunity to destroy the Great Array. If it could break it before Yang Kai returned, it would naturally be the best. Even if it couldn’t, it would be able to dispel some of the Great Array’s power and prepare for the future.
Seeing his Embodiment remain silent, Lei Gu coldly said, “How noble is the Holy Spirit? Since when did it become a mere human’s slave? It’s simply a disgrace to the Holy Spirit.”
If his Embodiment was really Shi Huo’s true self, he might have been angered, but his Embodiment was still an extension of Yang Kai, so how could he care about such provocative words?
Seeing no reaction from him, Lei Gu frowned and gave up on this useless effort, turning around to rush inside.
However, before he could fly away, Embodiment began to burn with raging flames as it climbed up the light barrier of the Spirit Array.
The corner of Lei Gu’s eyes twitched as he waved the flag in his hand, causing a layer of dark light to appear on the light curtain, isolating the power of the raging flames.
…
On the other side, Yang Kai’s figure flashed through the void and it only took him a moment to return to the mountain where he had been ambushed. The white-haired old man was meditating while the four people surrounded by Demonic Qi were still unconscious.
After noticing the commotion, Yang Kai was startled. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Yang Kai who had returned and happily called out, “Elder Yang.”
“Quickly go to Star Soul Palace to ask for help and report the matter of the Plain Palace to the Great Emperor, otherwise the Southern Domain will be in danger,” Yang Kai said anxiously.
“Ah…” The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment before nodding, “Good.” He then pointed at the four people and said, “Then they…”
“Go!” Yang Kai turned around and glared at him, like an enraged beast trying to swallow him whole.
Facing this terrifying gaze, the old man didn’t dare say anything more. Realizing that time was precious, he quickly summoned his flying artifact and flew towards Star Soul Palace.
After he left, Yang Kai waved his hand and sent the four unconscious cultivators into the Mysterious Small World, suppressing them in a certain place. Immediately after, Yang Kai waved his hand and sent out countless materials to work on the mountain.
Going to Star Soul Palace to inform the Great Emperor was indeed a way out, but Yang Kai wasn’t optimistic about it. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the Great Emperor’s strength, but rather that it would take too much time. By the time the Great Emperor arrived here, everything would have been settled.
If he wanted to resolve this crisis and avenge the dead, he would have to rely on something else.
Yang Kai had his own plans.
In his mind, the scene of the ice-cold corpse breaking through to the Transcendent Realm constantly flashed across his mind. Those dull and lifeless eyes seemed to have been carved into the depths of his soul, staring at him forever, making him suffer every breath.
Strictly speaking, they had only known each other for less than a month and had not even become overly close. It was normal for one to fight and kill on the road of martial arts. A person’s death shouldn’t have caused such great emotional fluctuations, but with endless self-reproach, the act of turning around and waving goodbye had become an eternal mantra.
The power of the Space Array surged unceasingly, and many materials gradually fused together on this mountain peak, forming the embryonic form of an Array. As time passed, the Array gradually became more complete.
In less than half a day, a brand new Space Array was formed.
There was no time to examine it further, so Yang Kai stepped forward and stared at the Plain Palace for a moment before activating the power of the Spirit Array and disappearing.
North Region, High Heaven Palace.
On the Space Array, Yang Kai’s figure appeared, startling the people guarding it.
Today, Bian Yuqing was still guarding the Space Array. When she saw Yang Kai, she immediately stood up and cupped her fists, “Palace Master!” Her eyes suddenly focused on Yang Kai’s waist as she asked in shock, “Palace Master, are you injured?”
Although the black shadow’s sneak attack was no longer a problem, the blood still remained, so it was naturally impossible for Bian Yuqing to not notice.
“Where is the Chief Manager?” Yang Kai turned around and asked.
Bian Yuqing was stunned for a moment, feeling that there was something wrong with Yang Kai today. He was so aggressive, like a volcano on the verge of erupting, giving off a sense of danger that made her heart jump. She didn’t know who had hurt him or provoked him.
This was the first time Bian Yuqing had seen Yang Kai in such a state, so she quickly replied, “Chief Manager just returned yesterday, she should be resting.”
“Call her over.”
“Yes.” Bian Yuqing quickly took out her Transmission Compass and poured her Divine Sense into it. A moment later, she raised her head and said, “Palace Master, please wait a moment. The Chief Manager will be here soon.”
Although she said she would be arriving soon, in less than a dozen breaths’time, Hua Qingsi had already come in from outside and glanced suspiciously at Bian Yuqing. Just now, when Bian Yuqing had sent a message to her, she had told her to come to the Space Array as soon as possible, looking extremely anxious. She didn’t dare delay any further and immediately rushed over.
Seeing Yang Kai standing there with a solemn expression, she couldn’t help feeling a bit stunned.
Before she could speak, Yang Kai asked, “How many Emperor Realm can we mobilize now?”
Hua Qingsi blinked and asked, “Does Palace Master mean the entire Northern Domain or my High Heaven Palace?”
“The entire Northern Domain!”
“Then why did Palace Master mobilize them?”
“Murder, revenge, annihilation!” Yang Kai spat out coldly.
Hua Qingsi was startled, realizing that something big must have happened, or else Yang Kai wouldn’t be so murderous, solemnly saying, “If we have enough time, three or four hundred won’t be a problem.”
During this time, High Heaven Palace had been leading the other three Sects and had been consolidating the various forces of the North Region. Although it hadn’t been a long time, many Sects had already chosen to submit. There was nothing they could do about it, with the four top Sects all working together, who in the North Region could stop them? Since they had submitted, High Heaven Palace had given them orders and they have to obey, whether they wanted to or not.
“Good, I’ll give you half a day to gather all the Emperor Realm you can and gather here. After half a day, I’ll come to pick you up,” Yang Kai turned around and stepped onto the Space Array again. After a moment of silence, he coldly said, “Tell them that if they dare not come or cooperate with me, when I have time, I’ll exterminate their entire family!”
“Yes!” Hua Qingsi’s expression changed, but before she could ask anything else, Yang Kai’s figure disappeared from the Space Array.
Hua Qingsi and Bian Yuqing looked at each other in confusion, Hua Qingsi asked, “What happened to Palace Master?”
Bian Yuqing shook her head, “I’m not sure, he didn’t say anything.”
Hua Qing Si frowned slightly, faintly feeling that Yang Kai must have encountered some kind of trouble, but what kind of trouble was it for him to mobilize so many Emperor Realm masters to help him? She had also seen the bloodstains on Yang Kai’s body, and although she didn’t know what kind of injuries he had suffered, it was obvious how powerful this enemy was.
Not daring to be negligent, Bian Yuqing briefly discussed the matter before taking out her Communication Compass and sending out a message to each of them. One by one, they stepped onto the Space Array and began recruiting experts from all over the North Region.
