If Yang Kai really had some kind of special relationship with Spirit Beast Island, it wouldn’t be so bad that he couldn’t even find a way out and had instead sought help from Heavenly Wolf Valley.
Thinking so, Qian Xiuying looked towards Lan He and smiled lightly, “Rest assured, Little He, he is a man blessed by the Heavens, the two top forces may not be able to do anything to him.”
Lan He looked up at her, “Mistress means…”
Qian Xiuying said, “Those who are proficient in the Space Laws are most proficient in escaping. He’s not a match for the masters of those two great forces, so if he can’t beat them, why can’t he run? Have you heard of a rumor that back then, Li Wuyi somehow provoked Great Emperor Flower Shadow and was hunted down by her, but in the end, he was able to escape with his Space Ability? You must know, what kind of person is the Great Emperor? Although Li Wuyi is known as the strongest person under the Great Emperor, the gap between him and the Great Emperor is still quite obvious. Since he was able to escape from Great Emperor Flower Shadow’s hands, it shows the profoundness of his Space Ability. Even if Yang Kai’s attainments in this Dao are inferior to Li Wuyi’s, he must have some means to preserve his life.”
Listening to her words, Lan He couldn’t help thinking about the instantaneous movement technique Yang Kai had used just now, thinking that what her Mistress had said made sense. That technique was simply amazing, allowing him to travel thousands of kilometers in an instant. The people from the Underworld Sect and the Buddhist Heaven Holy Land might not be able to do anything to him.
The worry in her heart finally eased a little, but the guilt she felt did not lessen.
When they arrived in front of the guest hall, Lan He knew she had no face to see Yang Kai, so she naturally didn’t follow them in. Instead, she stood outside and waited, a gloomy look on her face.
Seeing her like this, Tang Sheng and Qian Xiuying didn’t force her and simply let her be.
Inside the main hall, a man and a woman arrived together. Yang Kai, who was quietly waiting inside the hall, noticed this and immediately stood up to look at them. With just a glance, he was able to confirm their identities.
On the way here, Lan He had told him about the situation in Heavenly Wolf Valley, letting him know that there were only two Second-Order Emperor Realm in Heavenly Wolf Valley, and these two should be Valley Master Tang Sheng and his wife Qian Xiuying.
The man was elegant while the woman was beautiful, like a goddess. Yang Kai was a guest, so he naturally couldn’t be disrespectful. He quickly cupped his fists and said, “Yang Kai greets Valley Master Tang and Vice Valley Master Qian. Please forgive me for coming uninvited.”
Tang Sheng laughed heartily, revealing a bold and forthright image that didn’t quite match his scholarly appearance as he stepped forward and said, “Young Master Yang is too polite. You are Little He’s benefactor, so coming to my Heavenly Wolf Valley is truly an honor for my Heavenly Wolf Valley. How could you have disturbed us?”
Qian Xiuying also smiled and cupped her hands, “Young Master Yang.”
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment. Although this husband and wife pair gave him a very friendly feeling, there was a hint of unfamiliarity in their words. Thinking about how he didn’t have much of a friendship with Lan He, and this was the first time he had met Tang Sheng and his wife, he couldn’t help feeling relieved. However, when he looked outside the hall and didn’t see Lan He, he couldn’t help feeling a bit strange.
“Young Master Yang, please take a seat.” Tang Sheng stretched out his hand and motioned for Qian Xiuying and himself to sit down at the two seats above before shouting, “Come, serve tea!”
Immediately, a maidservant came in to make arrangements.
Tang Sheng smiled and looked at Yang Kai with a burning gaze, “I heard from Little He that Master Yang is from the Southern Domain?”
Yang Kai nodded, “I guess so.”
Tang Sheng and Qian Xiuying glanced at each other before continuing to ask, “May I ask where Young Master Yang is now? I can see that Young Master Yang is already a Second-Order Emperor Realm. At such a young age and with such a high cultivation, the place he is serving must be extraordinary.”
Yang Kai replied with a smile, “I’m temporarily serving as a guest Elder in the Azure Sun Temple.” He didn’t mention that he was the Palace Master of the North Region’s High Heaven Palace, after all, others had already assumed he was a member of the Southern Domain, and now that he was the North Region’s Palace Master, it was more or less like he was boasting.
“Azure Sun Temple!” Tang Sheng’s expression changed slightly, “Is it one of the three top forces of the Southern Domain, Azure Sun Temple?”
Yang Kai nodded, “The Southern Domain only has one Azure Sun Temple.”
Tang Sheng sighed, “This Tang has also heard of Azure Sun Temple’s great name. The three great forces of the Southern Domain, Azure Sun Temple, Plain Palace, and Heavenly Martial Holy Land, each one of them is extraordinary, comparable to my Eastern Domain’s three great forces. All of them are top forces in the world, and my Heavenly Wolf Valley can only sigh in admiration.”
Yang Kai said, “Valley Master, you don’t need to be so modest. I can see that Heavenly Wolf Valley is also quite extraordinary. The two Valley Masters have profound cultivations, and in the future, they may not be inferior to the so-called top forces.”
Tang Sheng laughed heartily, “Then I’ll be relying on Young Master Yang’s auspicious words.” Pausing for a moment, he continued, “Speaking of which, when this Tang was young, this Tang had once set out to explore the four great realms of the Cloud and Star Boundary, but unfortunately, I was hindered by many things in the end and was unable to achieve my long-cherished wish. I haven’t even left the Eastern Region yet, how shameful. Since Young Master Yang is from the Southern Region, can you tell me about the differences between the Southern Region and the Eastern Region?”
Qian Xiuying also looked at Yang Kai curiously, seemingly very interested in this.
Yang Kai was silent for a moment, but after thinking about how he would have to ask them for help later, he decided to satisfy their curiosity. Speaking of which, he had visited the four Star Boundary region, the north, south, east, and west, and he had also experienced the local customs of the world. Although he was not as old as Tang Sheng and Qian Xiuying, his experience was enough to shake them off by a few streets, so he immediately began to speak frankly and confidently, causing Tang Sheng and Qian Xiuying to fall into a trance as if they were listening to him.
Yang Kai’s mouth went dry as he spoke, but the couple in front of him still didn’t seem to be satisfied, not even mentioning the Spirit Beast Island’s token, causing him to feel quite depressed. He felt that Lan He should have already told them his purpose for coming here, so why were they constantly asking him about the Southern Domain and not mentioning the token?
Finally finding an opening, Yang Kai could only take the initiative to ask, “Two Valley Masters, please forgive me. This Yang has come to Heavenly Wolf Valley for a favor.”
Hearing this, Tang Sheng sighed and said, “This Tang roughly knows what Young Master Yang wants. Xiao He also told me about it before, but I’m afraid this matter will disappoint Young Master Yang.”
Yang Kai was stunned, “Valley Master means…”
Tang Sheng smiled bitterly and said, “In the past, my Heavenly Wolf Valley did obtain a descendant of a Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t really a descendant, it was just a small awakening of its ancestor’s bloodline, but there was nothing special about it. Later on, Spirit Beast Island obtained some information from somewhere, and a Beast Seeking Envoy came to my Heavenly Wolf Valley to ask for the Monster Beast and make some compensation. All of this is true, but the Spirit Beast Island token was fabricated by this Tang.”
“A fabrication?” Yang Kai was shocked. How could this matter be fabricated?
Tang Sheng said, “That’s right, this Tang deliberately fabricated this news and then spread it out so that my Heavenly Wolf Valley would have an invisible layer of protection, causing the other forces to fear my Heavenly Wolf Valley. Although Spirit Beast Island heard this news, it is a fact that they took away my Heavenly Wolf Valley’s Mosnter Beasts, and this Tang’s actions will not damage Spirit Beast Island’s reputation. With Spirit Beast Island’s ability, they naturally wouldn’t want to make things difficult for my Heavenly Wolf Valley. I just didn’t expect that Young Master Yang would make a wasted trip today, I’m truly ashamed.”
Listening to his explanation, Yang Kai couldn’t help smiling wryly. He had thought that his luck had turned for the better, but he hadn’t expected that the token was just a fabrication. Now that things had come to this, what else could he say? His heart skipped a beat as he asked, “Is that why Lady Lan didn’t dare to come see me?”
Qian Xiuying sighed, “Xiao He felt that she had broken her promise to you, so she was too ashamed to see you.”
Yang Kai couldn’t help laughing, “No need, Young Lady Lan is overthinking things.”
Qian Xiuying said, “That child is just like that, always taking things seriously. All these years, she has never forgotten the kindness you showed her when you saved her. This time, she was able to see you in the Eastern Region, she wanted to repay your kindness, but she didn’t know if this news was true or false. She thought that my Heavenly Wolf Valley really had a token from Spirit Beast Island and brought you here.”
Tang Sheng said, “The fault lies with this Tang. Back then, I only wanted to use this opportunity to protect Heavenly Wolf Valley, but I didn’t want to harm Little He. Please don’t blame her.”
Yang Kai replied solemnly, “Of course not.” If not for Lan He’s reminder, he really wouldn’t have known that he had been targeted by the Buddhist Heaven Holy Land and Underworld Sect.
Qian Xiuying said, “If you really want to look for Spirit Beast Island, why don’t you go to the city by the sea and take a look? Perhaps you’ll find some clues.”
Yang Kai nodded, but in his heart, if he really couldn’t find a way out, he didn’t mind not going to Spirit Beast Island. His main purpose in coming to the Eastern Region this time was to go to Dragon Island, and Spirit Beast Island was just along the way.
Speaking of which, Liu Yan had lived on Spirit Beast Island for a very long time, but she didn’t necessarily know the location of Spirit Beast Island, because when Jiu Feng took her away, she was still a phoenix egg. Afterwards, she went directly to Dragon Island and followed Yang Kai to the Lower Plane Star Field.
At this moment, Tang Sheng suddenly frowned and took out his communication compass from his Space Ring to sense it. Immediately, his expression changed and he turned to look at Qian Xiuying.
Yang Kai observed his expression and knew that he had probably received some important message, so he smiled slightly and said, “If the two Valley Masters have some matters to attend to, please take care of them yourself. This Yang will be leaving soon, and if I have some free time in the future, I will visit you again.”
Tang Sheng stood up and said, “I’m ashamed, I’m ashamed. There are indeed some urgent matters in the valley. Since that’s the case, this Tang will not stand on ceremony with Young Master Yang. Please do as you please.”
Saying so, he left with Qian Xiuying.
Yang Kai turned his head to look at their disappearing figures and rubbed his chin, a meaningful look flashing across his eyes.
He wasn’t a fool. Although Tang Sheng’s words sounded reasonable, his previous actions had made him feel that something was wrong. He didn’t dare say for certain whether the token was there or not, but it was definitely true that the Heavenly Wolf Valley didn’t welcome him. Otherwise, the husband and wife wouldn’t have left together. If there really was something important, he could have handled it alone. Why would he need two people to go together?
Yang Kai didn’t even express the intention of letting him stay as a guest for a few days, and after he said that he would leave soon, Yang Kai clearly felt that they were relieved in secret.
They're afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
