To be honest, Yang Kai didn’t know whether it was good or bad to find such a woman in the Void Crack, so he didn’t know how to deal with her.
If the woman was a heinous existence. If he were to save her life, wouldn’t he be helping evil? But if the other party had accidentally entered this place and was trapped here, it would be too cruel for him to just sit back and watch.
He was definitely this woman’s last chance. If he let her go, she would die without a doubt.
So no matter what, Yang Kai decided to let her recover a bit of her vitality first before making a decision.
Walking forward, he handed over the pill in his hand. The thin woman stared at it, trying her best to swallow it, but sadly, she didn’t even have the strength to open her mouth, only able to look up at Yang Kai with pleading eyes.
Yang Kai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, suddenly feeling that he had been a bit too careful. Even if this woman had truly committed heinous crimes in the past, with her current state, it would take at least a few hundred years for her to recover.
He had no choice but to open her mouth and stuff the pill into her mouth before using his Emperor Qi to help her swallow it.
The woman’s eyes flashed with gratitude as she closed her eyes and began meditating.
Yang Kai didn’t remain idle and instead placed his hand on her shoulder, not caring if she agreed or not, carefully pouring his Emperor Qi into her body to help her refine the medicinal efficacies. In this way, Yang Kai was able to clearly understand the situation inside her body and could not help feeling shocked.
Yang Kai didn’t know what kind of cultivation this woman had at her peak, but at this moment, her flesh and blood had dried up and her meridians had shrunk several times, causing many obstructions. Yang Kai had to focus his attention and carefully circulate his Emperor Qi, otherwise, a single mistake would cause her to explode and die.
A Void King Realm Spirit Pill was naturally not enough for her to fully recover. Even with Yang Kai’s help in refining all of the medicinal efficacies, it was only enough to stabilize her life force, but her skin and bones didn’t change in the slightest. On the other hand, her dead fish-like eyes finally showed some color.
Yang Kai couldn’t help sighing. It was said that even ants could steal lives, let alone humans. But if a person was really trapped in this place for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, Yang Kai felt that it would be better to just die. At the very least, if they died, everything would be over. Being trapped in this place was simply a torture.
However, this woman had somehow managed to survive. Just how strong must her willpower and tenacity be? The cultivation of this woman’s temperament was absolutely unimaginable, allowing her to persist under such conditions.
After refining the Void King Grade Spirit Pill effect, the woman stared at Yang Kai again, her eyes filled with desire, obviously wanting Yang Kai to give her more.
Yang Kai pretended not to understand and stood there scratching his face.
Seeing no result, the woman didn’t insist and closed her eyes again. After recovering for a while, she opened her mouth and let out a tearing sound. Obviously, it had been a long time since she last spoke. Even though she had obtained a Spirit Pill to maintain her vitality, she was still unable to speak.
After trying for a long time, she finally managed to complete her sentence, “Many… thanks!”
These two simple words seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and after she finished speaking, she remained silent.
Yang Kai nodded and smiled, “It was nothing, how may I address you?”
The woman was stunned, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes.
Yang Kai observed her expression and wondered if she had been trapped here for too long and had even forgotten her name.
However, very quickly, the woman slowly enunciated each word and tried her best to reply, “Sheng… Yu… Zhu!”
A name was a mark of a person’s life. Even if one forgot it for a moment, they would always remember it.
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment. This name was quite strange. Thinking about it carefully, he had never heard of this surname among all the people he had interacted with.
“Junior Yang Kai,” Yang Kai cupped his fists, “The current Rakshasa Sect’s Guest Elder, i accidentally discovered something in the forbidden area and followed the traces to find you. I didn’t expect to see you here. Was the abnormality in my Rakshasa Sect’s forbidden area caused by you?”
Sheng Yu Zhu nodded, not sure if it was because she was a woman of few words, or because it was difficult to speak.
“As expected…” Yang Kai couldn’t help but laugh. The situation in the forbidden area had led him to speculate that the root of the problem was in this spatial crack, and after seeing this Sheng Yuzhu, Yang Kai immediately concluded that these abnormalities were definitely man-made.
Sheng Yuzhu was trapped here, which was why she had used such a powerful Divine Ability to leave behind a clue through the tiny spatial crack. If someone really discovered this clue, they would definitely be curious about the Void Crack and would be able to find her.
However, in this world, besides Yang Kai, only Li Wuyi from Spirit Beast Island would be able to discover such an inexplicable clue, because only the two of them were proficient in the Space Laws and could sense the existence of this crack.
Otherwise, the Rakshasa Sect’s Sect Master Yu Luosha wouldn’t have been completely unaware of this, thinking that the situation in the forbidden area was a result of seizing the good fortune of Heaven and Earth, a blessing bestowed upon them by the Heavens.
In other words, the various things Yu Luosha had comprehended from that smooth cliff had all been intentionally left behind by Sheng Yuzhu. Yu Luosha could be considered a disciple of Sheng Yuzhu, so everyone in Rakshasa Sect could be said to be her disciples.
Looking at the current situation of Sheng Yuzhu, it was obvious that she didn’t have the ability to do such a thing. Yang Kai estimated that this method had been used thousands of years ago and had been maintained in an incredible state, causing the situation to change every full moon.
“Senior, how long have you been trapped here?” Yang Kai asked again. He was really curious about this question.
Sheng Yuzhu slowly shook her head, “I don’t… remember too much.”
This was truly a sad answer. Hearing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling sad for her. She couldn’t even remember how long she had been trapped here, so it had obviously been a very, very long time.
“Does Senior know about Space Force?” Yang Kai suddenly remembered something.
The spatial crack that had appeared in the valley’s forbidden area could not have appeared for no reason, it could only have been man-made.
Sheng Yuzhu said, “I’ve been trapped… for too long, I can only… think of a way myself.” After a long pause, she struggled to continue, “It’s just… I understand a little.”
Yang Kai nodded in agreement. The Space Crack was simply too small, so minute that even Yu Luosha, who had been cultivating in the Forbidden Area for thousands of years, was unable to detect it. If it weren’t for Yang Kai being proficient in the Space Laws, it would have been impossible for him to discover it.
It was reasonable for Sheng Yuzhu to say that she knew a little about Space Cracks, if she didn’t, she wouldn’t have been able to create a Space Crack. If she had been proficient in it, she would have long ago expanded it and escaped.
Yang Kai estimated that her attainments in the Dao of Space were only at the elementary level, far from the level of understanding the Laws.
“Little Brother…” Sheng Yushu suddenly called out.
“What instructions does senior have?” Yang Kai looked at her.
Sheng Yuzhu said, “Since you… are able to come here, it means that you can tear space. Can you… take me away?” After speaking for a while, her ability to express herself gradually became smoother, and her hoarse voice gradually became round and smooth, but she was still a little short of breath. When she spoke these words, her eyes were filled with desire. After waiting for so many years, someone had finally appeared in front of her, and it was obvious that this person was proficient in the Space Laws. If she wanted to escape, she had to rely on Yang Kai, so how could she not seize such a good opportunity?
Hearing this, Yang Kai rubbed his chin and said with a troubled expression, “But I don’t know if Senioe is a good or bad person.”
Sheng Yuzhu blinked, “If I say I’m a good person, will you believe me?”
Yang Kai shook his head and said seriously, “Of course not.”
Sheng Yuzhu said, “If I was a bad person, I wouldn’t have been plotted against by others and ended up here, never to see the light of day.”
Yang Kai shook his head and said, “Words are not proof. If Senior is really a wicked person who will do anything, I will never let you leave.”
Sheng Yuzhu sighed, “How do you want me to prove whether I’m good or evil? I’ve been trapped here for so many years that even if there were people I was familiar with, I’m afraid most of them would have died. You might not even know the ones who didn’t die. Do you want to go out and investigate?”
“That’s not impossible,” Yang Kai raised his brow, “Then who do you know? En, if you think they won’t be able to live until now, you don’t need to say anything, just tell me about those you think will have a long life.”
Sheng Yuzhu couldn’t help laughing, “You’re quite careful.”
Yang Kai said solemnly, “I had no choice, please forgive me.”
Sheng Yuzhu thought about it for a moment before the first name that popped out startled Yang Kai, “Is Wu Kuang still alive?”
Yang Kai’s eyes widened as his expression became complicated, “Wu Kuang? Which Wu Kuang?”
Sheng Yuzhu looked at him thoughtfully, “You seem to have heard of this name before, so he succeeded?”
Yang Kai’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat, “Which Wu Kuang are you talking about?”
Sheng Yuzhu looked at him meaningfully, “There’s no one else, it’s the one you’re thinking about, the one who cultivated the Heavens Devourer Battle Law.”
Yang Kai turned pale with fright and asked in a low voice, “Does Senior and Wu Kuang know each other?”
Sheng Yuzhu chuckled, “Naturally, it’s all thanks to him that I’m trapped here.”
“What?” Yang Kai felt like his head was about to explode. This thin woman in front of him was actually trapped in this Void Crack because of Wu Kuang? Didn’t that mean she was from the same generation as Wu Kuang? For a moment, Yang Kai couldn’t help sweating.
Previously, he had guessed that Sheng Yuzhu had been trapped here for at least a few thousand or ten thousand years, but if she and Wu Kuang were from the same era, a few thousand or even ten thousand years was nothing.
Just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine. She had been trapped in this dark place for tens of thousands of years, yet she hadn’t gone crazy and was instead constantly trying to send out messages to attract people to save her.
This Sheng Yuzhu was definitely an old monster!
Suddenly, Yang Kai realized something was wrong and sneered, “Does Senior think I’m young and easy to deceive?”
Sheng Yuzhu asked in surprise, “What do you mean?” She didn’t understand why Yang Kai suddenly became hostile.
Yang Kai snorted, “That Wu Kuang is known as the Heaven's Devourer Great Emperor, the number one throughout the ages, and his cultivation is extremely high. If he really attacked you, how could you possibly survive? Does Senior want to tell me that you are also a Great Emperor?”
