After waiting for a long time, Tao Yingruo walked out.
Yang Kai turned his head and couldn’t help being stunned.
At this moment, Tao Yingruo’s face was flushed red, as if she was in high spirits.
Yang Kai asked curiously, “Why is the Acting Sect Master so happy?” In his heart, he couldn’t help wondering what Sheng Yuzhu had told her to make her so happy.
Tao Yingruo didn’t answer, instead bowing slightly, “Many thanks, Elder Yang, you are truly a blessing to my Rakshasa Sect.”
Yang Kai rubbed his nose in confusion, “What do you mean?”
Tao Yingruo smiled and said, “As soon as Elder arrived, he brought back my Rakshasa Sect’s Ancestral Master. If this isn’t a blessing, what is?”
“Ancest… Ancestral Master?” Yang Kai was stunned for a moment while Ran Yiruo and Yu Keren, who were standing next to him, also formed a circle around their mouths. For a moment, they couldn’t understand how their own Sect’s Ancestral Master had appeared. Wasn’t the founder of Rakshasa Sect the previous Sect Master, Yu Luosha?
They didn’t understand, but Yang Kai quickly understood. If his previous guess was correct, then the entire Rakshasa Sect’s Cultivation Technique had been imparted to her by Sheng Yuzhu. Although she only wanted to attract the attention of others to save herself, this kind of inheritance was something no one could deny. Yu Luosha was her disciple, so naturally everyone in Rakshasa Sect was her disciple.
However, Yu Luosha did not know about this.
At this moment, Sheng Yuzhu and Tao Yingruo had decided to make use of this place to slowly restore her strength. Although Rakshasa Sect wasn’t strong, it was still a Sect after all. With the entire Sect supporting her, Sheng Yuzhu would be able to recover faster.
“This mistress has already confirmed that Ancestral Master is indeed the source of many of my Rakshasa Sect’s Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques, but because she was harmed by an evil man, she was trapped in the Forbidden Area. Although the former Sect Master received all of her teachings, she was unable to discover where she was trapped, causing Ancestral Master to suffer for so many years. This time, it was thanks to Elder’s sharp eyes that we were able to rescue Ancestral Master. The entire Rakshasa Sect is extremely grateful.”
In the Sect, there was no relationship that was more reliable than the relationship between master and disciple. If Tao Yingruo was certain that the previous Sect Master, Yu Luosha, had obtained the cultivation of the Emperor Realm because of Sheng Yuzhu, then the fact that Sheng Yuzhu was the founder of Rakshasa Sect was unquestionable. Although this was the first time they had met and the appearance of Sheng Yuzhu was shocking, Tao Yingruo still immediately recognized her identity and treated her as a disciple.
“It's a coincidence, I must congratulate you Acting Sect Master,” Yang Kai smiled.
“Likewise,” Tao Ying blinked at Yang Kai, “Elder is also a member of my Rakshasa Sect.”
“That’s true,” Yang Kai laughed. After the Anointment Ceremony, he had the mark of the Rakshasa Sect on his body, which no one could deny.
Tao Yingruo’s expression became solemn as she said, “However, I must ask Elder to keep this matter a secret. The Ancestral Master’s current cultivation is less than a tenth of her original, so she will need a long time to recover.”
“Of course,” Yang Kai nodded, feeling relieved. He had been worried about whether Tao Yingruo and the others would have any objections if he were to place Sheng Yuzhu in Rakshasa Sect, so he had long since decided that if Tao Yingruo and the others showed any inappropriate intentions, he would send Sheng Yuzhu to High Heaven Palace to cultivate. However, he had not expected that Sheng Yuzhu would play such a trick, directly allowing her Ancestral Master’s status to be determined. It seemed that she was willing to remain here.
In that case, how could the Rakshasa Sect not welcome her? Perhaps Tao Yingruo knew very well that since this Ancestral Master was able to create an Emperor Realm master while she was still trapped, her strength must have already reached the peak. If she could win her favor, would the Rakshasa Sect not be able to rise? In time, the Rakshasa Sect would become even more glorious than before.
“The two of you, what you’ve seen and heard today must not be leaked. If I discover anything related, I will definitely kill you.” Tao Yingruo turned around and glared at Ran Yiruo and Yu Keren.
“Yes.” The two women didn’t dare to refuse and quickly bowed anxiously, knowing that they had come into contact with some kind of Sect Secret.
After chatting with Yang Kai for a while longer, Tao Yingruo left in a hurry, probably wanting to share this good news with the other Principle Source Stage masters. Although this was a top secret, Rakshasa Sect only had five Principle Source Stage masters now, there were some things they could hide, but there was no need to hide.
Now that the matter with Rakshasa Sect had been resolved, Yang Kai didn’t have any intention of staying here any longer. Although he didn’t know how long it would take for Sheng Yuzhu to fully recover, with his reputation protecting Rakshasa Sect, it was likely that no one would dare come looking for trouble.
The next day, he bid farewell to Sheng Yuzhu, Tao Yingruo, and the others.
What surprised Yang Kai was that after a short day of not seeing her, Sheng Yuzhu's condition had improved greatly. Although she still looked thin and emaciated, her vitality was much better than the day before, and the relationship between Sheng Yuzhu and Rakshasa Sect allowed him to leave without any worries.
Since Sheng Yuzhu had admitted that she was the founder of Rakshasa Sect, she wouldn’t have any ill intentions towards it.
North Region, High Heaven Palace, Yang Kai leisurely returned.
On High Heaven Peak, Yang Kai summoned Hua Qingsi to inquire about the current situation of the Sect and the Northern Domain. He learned that everything in the Sect was normal and that the hundred thousand disciples were all cultivating diligently. Although they had brought some people to the Southern Domain to support them last time, High Heaven Palace hadn’t sent many people, so many people still didn’t know what had happened.
On the other hand, after seeing Yang Kai’s incredible rallying power, the North Region no longer dared to act rashly.
Previously, when Yang Kai had joined forces with the other three top Sects to sweep through the Northern Domain, he had managed to suppress them with his overwhelming strength. However, there were still many people who were unwilling to submit to him, and after what had happened in the Southern Domain, even if there were still some who were unwilling to submit, they didn’t dare to show it. On the surface, the entire Northern Domain was filled with respect, and it could be said that in the Northern Domain, High Heaven Palace ruled the world.
Two other Sects had been destroyed.
Dragon Tiger Sect and Profound Cloud Pavilion!
The strength of these two Sects was about the same as that of Rakshasa Sect. Both of them had an Emperor Realm master presiding over them and had around one or two thousand disciples under their command. These two Sects could be considered second or third rate Sects, but on a certain night more than a month ago, both of them were uprooted. From Emperor Realm masters to ordinary disciples, not a single one remained.
“You did this?” Yang Kai looked at Hua Qingsi and asked.
Hua Qingsi smiled bitterly and shook her head, “It has nothing to do with my High Heaven Palace, but it does have something to do with the Palace Master.”
Yang Kai blinked and said, “Me? How come I don’t know that, this matter has anything to do with me?” He had been staying in the Southern Domain all this time and had never returned to the Northern Domain. Even if someone died, what did it have to do with him? If it was someone else, he would definitely try to refute them, but the person who said this was Hua Qingsi.
Hua Qingsi said, “Has Palace Master forgotten that when many of my Northern Region’s Emperor Realm masters gathered, these two Sects were absent. You once said that if they didn’t come, they didn’t need to come.”
Yang Kai stroked his chin and asked, “Did I say that?”
At that time, he had been eager to save people and had been filled with anger over Yu Zhuo’s death, so it was not strange for him to say something like that, but he really couldn’t remember. Moreover, even if he had said something like that, it shouldn’t have been a big deal, right? These two Sects could have arrived at High Heaven Palace within a certain time limit, but they hadn’t appeared at that time. Obviously, they didn’t place High Heaven Palace’s orders in their eyes, they were the type of existences who would not act according to orders.
Yang Kai didn’t deny that he had planned to find trouble with them later, but that was only his own thoughts and he had never said it out loud. It could even be said that up until now, he hadn’t thought much of it, but he hadn’t expected that these two Sects had already been destroyed.
Hua Qingsi said, “More than a month ago, Mi Qi joined forces with more than a dozen large and small Sects and uprooted these two forces with lightning speed. The heads of those two Emperor Realms were also sent over, along with the wealth these two Sects have accumulated over the years.”
“Bastard!” Yang Kai roared, “Who asked him to do this?”
Hua Qingsi lowered her brow and said, “At that time, although Palace Master’s words may have been unintentional, it was inevitable that some people would be interested.”
Yang Kai was speechless. If that was the case, then these two forces had really been destroyed because of him.
Hua Qingsi said, “So the Palace Master didn’t intend to find trouble with them. Mi Qi’s flattery was simply too excessive. Does Palace Master want to punish him?”
Yang Kai’s expression twitched, “How?”
Hua Qingsi said, “That will depend on the Palace Master’s opinion. If he thinks Mi Qi has gone too far, he can cripple his cultivation and ask him to apologize and seek justice for the dead. If not, he can issue an official document in the name of High Heaven Palace to show that this matter has nothing to do with High Heaven Palace and that it was all Mi Qi’s doing.”
Yang Kai said lightly, “If an apology is useful, what’s the point of cultivating? Not to mention, Mi Qi has already done this, so isn’t crippling his cultivation just making things worse?” Yang Kai paused for a moment before continuing, “Sister Hua, you seem a bit resentful.”
Hua Qingsi lowered her head and replied, “I wouldn’t dare, but after all, there are thousands of lives involved.”
Yang Kai frowned and said, “Sister Hua, if you have something to say, just say it. If you act like this, it will be very awkward.”
Hua Qingsi sighed and raised her head to look at Yang Kai, “The Palace Master made a name for himself when he was young, and his cultivation is quite high. Now that he is the head of the North Region, this Mistress is very worried that you will be confused by all the appearances in front of you and find it difficult to adjust your mentality. Just like this incident, you may feel that the deaths of those people have nothing to do with you.”
Yang Kai listened quietly without interrupting her.
Hua Qingsi said, “But in reality, they really did die because of you, it was just unintentional. Did Palace Master recognize your own strength from this matter?”
When these words came out, Yang Kai suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Just as Hua Qingsi had said, he didn’t think that the destruction of those two Sects had anything to do with him, only thinking that Mi Qi was too despicable and had misinterpreted his intentions. But now, after hearing Hua Qingsi’s analysis, he was somewhat startled.
Indeed, with his current strength, it was possible for him to destroy those two Sects.
However, with just a few words, two or three thousand people had died. This was something Yang Kai found difficult to accept. For a moment, he felt like his hands were dripping with blood.
Hua Qingsi said, “In this position, one must be careful with their words and plan for the future. Palace Master, please take this advice seriously.”
Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly, “I’ll remember.”
