It wasn’t impossible to travel from the Northern Region to the Southern Region in an instant as long as one had a Cross Domain Space Array, but this kind of thing was extremely rare even in the entire Star Boundary. It seemed that only a few Great Emperor Sects possessed it, and since it had been passed down since ancient times, it was unknown if it could be used.
The woman and the old man hadn’t thought of this point before, but after hearing the whispers around them, they finally came to their senses.
Could it be that they had just used a Cross Domain Space Array? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Only by using a Cross Domain Space Array would there be such a strong backlash from teleporting. After all, crossing a distance of millions of kilometers in an instant was not something that the previous teleportation could compare with.
How could High Heaven Palace have a Cross Domain Space Array? High Heaven Palace’s territory belonged to Asking Passion Sect, so most of them had gone to ask about it. Basically, they knew about Asking Passion Sect’s heritage and knew that it was impossible for them to have a Cross Domain Space Array.
He had long heard that High Heaven Palace’s Palace Master, Yang Kai, was proficient in the Space Laws. Could it be that he could even set up a Cross Domain Space Array? If that was the case, it would be a big deal!
The woman and the half-grown old man looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. The whispers around them grew louder as the words “Southern Domain” appeared more frequently. Some people still didn’t believe it, while others, like them, stared at the Spirit Array with burning eyes.
If this was really a Cross Domain Space Array, it would be a massive treasure trove. Just like how Yang Kai could see the benefits brought by the flow of resources between the two regions, they could naturally see that with such a Spirit Array connecting the north and south, any Sect could become rich.
To be safe, the woman was just about to ask someone from High Heaven Palace about this matter when her eyes suddenly flashed with a dull light.
The old man had yet to recover from the shock of arriving at the Southern Domain and crossing through the Space Array, so when he saw her appearance, he couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong?”
The woman didn’t react at all and simply stared towards a certain direction. The old man was puzzled and followed her gaze, his jaw dropping.
There were eight or nine Stone Golems standing over there, each of them several meters tall, each of them clearly built from stone, each of them exuding an extraordinary aura. Just by looking at them, one would feel a strong visual impact, as if their bodies were made from stone, filled with an indescribable sense of power. No one dared to doubt their combat strength.
This… could this be the legendary Stone Puppet? Wasn’t it supposed to be extinct? Why were there so many of them here?
If this was all there was to it, it wouldn’t be a big deal. On the opposite side of the Stone Puppets, there were only about thirty figures, but each and every one of them was filled with a terrifying Monster Qi. Earlier, the woman and the old man had been so focused on the existence of the Cross Domain Space Array that they hadn’t felt any Monster Qi.
At this moment, all of their expressions changed drastically.
These Monster Race masters were all Monster Kings, and none of them could be compared to them.
The woman and the old man clearly saw the three Monster Kings from High Heaven Palace chatting with the other Monster Race masters, and upon closer inspection, there were actually thirty-two of them…
In other words, there were thirty-two Monster Kings here! What kind of force was this? It had to be known that most of the so-called top Sects only had a single Third-Order Emperor Realm master. For example, there was only Li Jiao, Mi Qi, and Asking Passion Sect, and Ice Heart Valley.
In comparison, the strength represented by these thirty-two Monster Kings was extremely terrifying. To put it bluntly, with the two hundred Emperor Realm gathered here, even if they joined forces, they probably wouldn’t be able to defeat them, unless they worked together.
Were they also helpers from High Heaven Palace’s Palace Master? Where did this group of Monster Kings come from? Why had he never heard of these Monster Kings before?
Gulp…
A series of gulping sounds rang out as everyone’s attention shifted from the Cross Domain Space Array to these Monster Kings. They could clearly feel that many of these Monster Kings had opened their bloody mouths as if they were playing a prank on them. The Monster Qi surrounding their bodies became even more terrifying, causing many of the North Region’s Emperor Realm to tremble in fear. All of them were afraid that if these Monster Kings were to rush in and slaughter them, they would be doomed.
The woman suddenly thought of a rumor and her pupils shrank as she stared at the two men and one woman standing in front of the thirty-two Monster Kings and whispered, “Thirty-two Monster Kings, have you thought of anything?”
“What did you think of?” The old man subconsciously asked.
The woman said, “I heard that in the Eastern Region, there is a Wild Ancient Land that retains the aura of the Ancient Barbarian Land and has not changed even after thousands of years. In that Wild Ancient Land, there are four Great Holy Venerable and each of them has eight powerful Monster Kings…”
The old man asked absentmindedly, “Four Great Holy Venerable, each with eight Monster Kings?” Wasn’t that exactly thirty-two? In fact, he had heard this rumor before, but it was just a rumor and no one would believe it if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes.
However, there was no such coincidence in this world. There were thirty-two Monster Kings in the Wild Ancient Land, and there were also thirty-two here.
The old man’s face went pale, “Are you trying to say that they came from the Wild Ancient Land, the Eastern Region…”
The woman said, “What about the Eastern Region? We came from the Northern Region, so that’s how it is. So the three Monster Kings from High Heaven Palace came from the Wild Ancient Land!”
The existence of Ying Fei, Xie Wuwei, and Xi Lei was no secret, but many people in the North Region couldn’t figure out where Yang Kai had subdued these three Monster Kings and placed them in High Heaven Palace as guards. It was only at this moment that they found a suitable answer to this question that had puzzled them for so long.
“You’re right, those Stone Puppets rumored to have been extinct a long time ago must have come from the Wild Ancient Land,” The old man nodded lightly before suddenly taking a deep breath and saying in a trembling voice, “If these Stone Puppets and Monster Kings are from the Wild Ancient Land, then… who are the three people in front of them?”
The woman stiffly turned her head to look at him. She had thought of this question long ago, so at this moment, she slowly enunciated, “Holy… Spirit!”
The old man immediately lowered his head, deliberating for a moment before sending a voice transmission, “This old master feels that what we said before is not worth considering, so we should consider it carefully.”
Originally, they had wanted to wait until this matter was over to collude with the other Emperor Realm of the Northern Domain to resist the pressure of High Heaven Palace, but now that they saw Yang Kai casually pull out such a large number of helpers, including the Stone Puppet, Monster King and the Holy Spirit, who would dare act rashly?
Although they might all be in the Eastern Region, with the existence of the Space Array, it would only take a breath’s time for the Eastern Region to reach the Northern Domain. Since they had appeared here, it meant that the Eastern Region also had a Space Array. If they really angered High Heaven Palace and brought such a group of people to the Northern Domain, even if all the Sects in the Northern Domain joined forces, they might not even be a match for them, not to mention that they would definitely not be united.
The old woman nodded in agreement, “Actually, it’s not bad to have a Sect leader in the Northern Domain, it’s better than being scattered.”
She was probably consoling herself.
There were more than two hundred Emperor Realm masters from the North Region, and all of them were experienced and knowledgeable. Since the woman and the old man could see through the origins of the Stone Puppet and Monster Kings, there was no reason they couldn’t.
At this moment, seeing so many Monster Kings and Holy Spirits waiting obediently, none of them dared to complain. All of them simply stood quietly to the side, their hearts filled with shock.
When Mi Qi and Li Jiao came together, the former’s expression also changed drastically, secretly thinking that he was lucky he hadn’t fallen out with High Heaven Palace back then. Otherwise, how could there still be any Full Sky Sect here now? He probably wouldn’t even know how he died.
On the other hand, Li Jiao’s performance was quite good. After all, he had wreaked havoc on Dragon Island with Yang Kai and knew of the close relationship between Yang Kai and a Dragon Girl, so even though he was somewhat surprised by Yang Kai’s methods and face, he was one of the few people who remained calm and even had a strange sense of superiority. He thought that if Yang Kai really called over the Dragon Race from Dragon Island, it would be quite lively.
It was just that he didn’t know what kind of attitude Dragon Island had towards Yang Kai right now. Logically speaking, since Dragon Island had fallen out with him, he should be Dragon Island’s mortal enemy, but the key was that Yang Kai and a Dragon Girl had become husband and wife.
While everyone was still in shock, Yang Kai had already led the last group of people to the Space Array.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes focused on him.
Yang Kai swept his eyes over the crowd and said loudly, “This place is the Southern Domain, and the Plain Palace is not far away. Later, I would like to ask all of you to work together to help me save these people while also preventing the Demon Race from escaping. Your first priority is to protect yourselves from being corroded by the Demonic Qi, and your second priority is to capture those who have been corroded by the Demonic Qi. If possible, try not to kill them.”
“We can't kill them?” Everyone was shocked.
Fan Wu frowned and said, “Since they’ve already become devil, what’s the point of keeping them alive?” If he couldn’t kill them, he could only capture them alive. Although everyone present was quite strong, capturing them alive was still quite troublesome. What’s more, what was the point of capturing them alive? It was easy to become devil, but it was extremely difficult to escape the Demonic Qi. In his opinion, as long as they were corroded by the Demonic Qi, there was no need to keep them alive.
“I have my own plans. Of course, if there’s no other choice, I’d rather kill them than let a Demon escape,” Yang Kai said solemnly, “Do you understand?”
“Understood,” The two hundred or so Emperor Realm masters of the North Region all shouted in unison. At this time, no one dared to not give Yang Kai face. A group of Monster Kings and three Holy Spirit Realm masters were watching.
“Everyone, please surround the Plain Palace and listen to my orders!” Yang Kai waved his hand and led the way towards the Plain Palace, “Let’s go!”
The group of people followed closely behind.
A moment later, a faint light curtain appeared in front of everyone’s eyes. It was none other than the Sect Protecting Array of Plain Palace. Seeing the situation of this great array, everyone’s hearts trembled. Such a great array was the foundation of a top Sect.
As they approached the Great Array, Yang Kai waved his hands left and right, and several hundred people split into two groups and flew out of the Plain Palace's Great Array in an orderly fashion. Every once in a while, they would stop and surround the Plain Palace.
