However, from the other party’s point of view, it was normal to have such concerns. Yang Kai had no reason to blame others, but he was still somewhat unhappy.
A head popped out from the door and locked eyes with Yang Kai.
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “Lady Lan.”
Lan He hesitantly appeared, her face filled with embarrassment, “Brother Yang.”
Yang Kai asked curiously, “What happened to Miss Lan? Is she feeling unwell?”
Lan He lowered her head to look at her toes, “Brother Yang, I’m sorry.” Yang Kai didn’t know if Heavenly Wolf Valley had a token from Spirit Beast Island, but she did know. She also knew that this information wasn’t fabricated. It was only because her Master and Mistress were worried that being on good terms with Yang Kai would bring trouble to Heavenly Wolf Valley.
If she could become the head of the family, she would certainly not hesitate to help, but although she was an Elder of the Heavenly Wolf Valley, she could not make any promises to Yang Kai at this time, nor could she do anything to let down the Heavenly Wolf Valley. On one hand, he was her benefactor, but on the other hand, he was her Sect Master. Lan He felt extremely conflicted, and the more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt towards Yang Kai, almost not daring to look him in the eye.
Yang Kai walked up to her and smiled, “Young Lady Lan is too serious, this Yang is already very grateful that you were able to inform me about Underworld Sect and Buddhist Heaven Holy Land. As for the token from Spirit Beast Island, since it was fabricated, there is no need to worry about it.”
Lan He was silent for a moment before suddenly raising her head and saying firmly, “Brother Yang, wait a few more days, I’ll think of something for you.”
Seeing her expression, Yang Kai knew that she probably wanted to plead with Tang Sheng and ask him to hand over the Spirit Beast Island’s token, but if she really did so, it might cause some kind of conflict between the master and disciple pair, so he simply smiled and said, “No need, it’s not like I have to go to Spirit Beast Island. To me, if I can go to Spirit Beast Island, I can go, but if I can’t, it’s fine. It’s just that I said something I shouldn’t have.”
Hearing this, Lan He felt extremely uncomfortable. This matter was clearly the fault of the Heavenly Wolf Valley, it was her Master who had some scruples. When he first heard about Yang Kai, he was very happy to see him and even said that he would personally accompany him on a trip to the Spirit Beast Island. Later, when he heard that the two top forces were looking for trouble with Yang Kai, his attitude immediately changed, but now she was the one being comforted.
“Where is Big Sister Ling? Can you take me to see her?” Yang Kai changed the subject.
“Of course, Brother Yang, come with me,” Lan He’s attention was indeed diverted and he readily agreed.
As Lan He walked deeper into Heavenly Wolf Valley, Lan He remained silent, only replying to Yang Kai’s questions. She was no longer as lively and cheerful as before, obviously still feeling guilty.
…
Inside another hall, Tang Sheng and Qian Xiuying hurriedly entered. Inside the hall, two people were already waiting. One of them was a half-grown old man with a gloomy aura, as if he had just walked out from the gates of hell, while the other was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. He wore a simple black robe and stood there with his hands behind his back like a sharp sword, causing the atmosphere in the hall to become extremely oppressive.
Seeing these two people, Tang Sheng and Qian Xiuying were both shocked. They stepped forward and cupped their fists, “Sect Master Fu, Holy Master Xu, please forgive this Tang for not going out to meet you.” In their hearts, they thought that these two had arrived so quickly. Yang Kai had just arrived at Heavenly Wolf Valley, but these two had already followed him, secretly rejoicing at their foresight and not rashly agreeing to Yang Kai’s request. Otherwise, Heavenly Wolf Valley really wouldn’t have been able to extricate themselves this time.
These two were the leaders of the two top forces of the Eastern Region, both of them having the cultivation of a Third-Order Emperor Realm master. If the two of them were to act together, it was obvious what kind of attitude the Underworld Sect and Buddhist Heaven Holy Land would have. Perhaps these two forces had already sent out all their masters.
He sighed in his heart. This time, Yang Kai’s chances were really slim. So what if he had a Space Ability? With so many masters attacking, once they interfered with space, even if he had a Space Ability, he wouldn’t be able to escape easily. He could only hope that Xiao He wouldn’t blame him in the future. [TL:this dude judging people based on his weak ass.]
The ghostly Fu Bo lowered his eyes like an old monk meditating, motionless. Even though this was Heavenly Wolf Valley and he was just a guest, he could still not give Tang Sheng any face.
On the other hand, Xu Chang Feng responded with an “En”, but he still had his back facing Tang Sheng and his wife as he lightly asked, “Tang Sheng, how long has your Heavenly Wolf Valley been in existence?”
These words came out of nowhere, but Tang Sheng could hear a strange aura from them. His body couldn’t help shivering as he muttered to himself, “It’s been about twenty to thirty thousand years.”
Xu Chang Feng nodded lightly, turned around, and said indifferently, “Twenty or thirty thousand years, your inheritance can be considered quite ancient. Your Heavenly Wolf Valley was once a glorious force, one of the top forces in the Eastern Region. It was once desolate and nearly destroyed, but since it was able to survive for twenty or thirty thousand years, it must have its own unique characteristics.”
Tang Sheng squeezed out a smile and said, “Beasts have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. My Heavenly Wolf Valley is in cahoots with the Wolf Warrior, so naturally we have the same instinct.”
Xu Chang Feng stared at him meaningfully for a moment before nodding, “Very good, I’m sure you understand why Sect Master Fu and I have come.”
Tang Sheng’s forehead was dripping with cold sweat as he said, “Rest assured, Holy Master Xu, my Heavenly Wolf Valley will not commit such a suicidal act. It’s just that my little disciple is ignorant and has no intention of bringing him back. My Heavenly Wolf Valley has no intention of protecting him, he will soon leave.”
“Hmph!” Fu Bo suddenly snorted, “You can try protecting him.”
As soon as these words came out, Qian Xiuying couldn’t help glaring angrily at Fu Bo, somewhat unconvinced. It’s true that he is a 3rd order Emperor Realm Master, and also the leader of a top force in the Eastern Region, but this is Heavenly Wolf Valley, what is the meaning of a guest acting so arrogantly towards the host? Heavenly Wolf Valley has the protection of Spirit Beast Island, so she really didn’t believe that the Underworld Sect would dare act against Heavenly Wolf Valley.
As long as the token remained, as long as Spirit Beast Island’s prestige remained, Heavenly Wolf Valley would not be destroyed. [TL: it's useless when the people inside is a chicken.]
Seemingly sensing Qian Xiuying’s gaze, Fu Bo suddenly raised his eyes, his sharp eyes meeting Qian Xiuying’s gaze as he sneered.
In the next moment, Qian Xiuying’s beautiful face lost all color as she felt a burst of wailing and howling in her ears, her soul trembling and her body shivering.
In a flash, Tang Sheng appeared in front of Qian Xiuying and asked solemnly, “Sect Master Fu, what is the meaning of this? My Heavenly Wolf Valley has no intention of interfering in other people’s grievances and disputes, please respect yourself.”
Fu Bo coldly replied, “This King just saw that Madam Tang was a bit unconvinced and asked her to recognize reality. Why? Are you also not convinced?”
Tang Sheng was angry but didn’t dare to say anything. [TL: chicken indeed]
Xu Chang Feng asked, “Tang Sheng, does your Sect’s Sect Protection Array have the ability to isolate Heaven and Earth?”
Tang Sheng subconsciously replied, “All the Sect Protecting Spirit Arrays have this function…” As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something and asked in horror, “What does Holy Master Xu mean by asking this?”
Xu Chang Feng looked at him indifferently, “What do you think?”
Fu Bo let out a strange laugh before standing up and saying, “Holy Master Xu’s intention is for you to activate the Sect Protecting Grand Array and isolate this world so that no one can escape. As you know, that boy has some ability.”
Tang Sheng’s expression changed greatly, “Could it be that the two of you want to attack my Heavenly Wolf Valley?”
Xu Chang Feng looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong with a ready-made burial ground?”
“No!” Tang Sheng refused.
Fu Bo narrowed his eyes and said, “Tang Sheng, before you speak, use your brain. A brain is a good thing, if you don’t use it, isn’t it just a decoration?”
The two of them called Tang Sheng by his name and didn’t put him in their eyes at all, causing Tang Sheng and his wife to feel angry but not dare to speak up. Now that they were being ridiculed, Tang Sheng couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed, not to mention that he was the Sect Master. He had already made his stance clear before that he wouldn’t protect Yang Kai, but he didn’t expect these two to act so aggressively and wantonly in his Heavenly Wolf Valley.
Taking a deep breath, Tang Sheng said solemnly, “This matter absolutely cannot be allowed. To be honest, that person saved my little disciple’s life. This time, my little disciple brought him back because he had something to ask of me, but this Tang has already refused, causing my little disciple’s heart to feel uneasy. If we were to activate the Sect Protecting Grand Array again and let him die in my Heavenly Wolf Valley, my little disciple’s heart will definitely be plagued with inner demons in the future, so how could she have any room to improve? If the two of you really want to deal with him, you can choose any place but not my Heavenly Wolf Valley. My Heavenly Wolf Valley will not protect him, but we will not interfere in your grievances.”
“Is it really impossible?” Xu Chang Feng stared at Tang Sheng sharply.
Tang Sheng’s face twitched as he felt his threat. He knew that if he refused this time, there would be a lot of trouble for Heavenly Wolf Valley in the Eastern Region in the future. Just as he had told Lan He, with the protection of Spirit Beast Island, no one would dare to openly attack Heavenly Wolf Valley, but it was inevitable that they would secretly make trouble for them. Heavenly Wolf Valley was a large Sect, and its expenses were not small. The Sect also had a lot of foundation outside, so these foundations would definitely be targeted.
Looking over at Qian Xiuying, he saw her slowly shake her head as her mouth twitched.
Silently, Tang Sheng knew she was referring to Lan He, so he immediately made up his mind and firmly said, “I hope Holy Master Xu will not make things difficult for this Tang again!”
The fact that Lan He was able to return from the Star Fragments Sea alive and advance to the Emperor Realm so early was naturally something they had high hopes for. Perhaps in the future, she would have a chance to break through to the Third-Order Emperor Realm. In other words, the future of Heavenly Wolf Valley depended on Lan He alone.
If this incident caused Lan He’s Martial Dao Heart to be damaged, that would be the biggest loss to Heavenly Wolf Valley. As for whether or not their foundation outside would be suppressed, that was something they would have to consider in the future. [TL: what a flawed thoughts, if he die, won't she have heart demon too? really stupid.]
Not to mention, Yang Kai also had some kind of relationship with the other Elder of the Heavenly Wolf Valley, Ling Yinqin. If Yang Kai died in the Heavenly Wolf Valley, Ling Yinqin would definitely have some complaints about the Heavenly Wolf Valley. This was equivalent to the Heavenly Wolf Valley losing the approval of two Emperor Realm, so how could Tang Sheng allow such a thing to happen?
Hearing this answer, Fu Bo smiled coldly. Xu Chang Feng stared at Tang Sheng indifferently for a moment, as if he had also seen through his determination and nodded slightly, “Fine.”
Hearing this, Tang Sheng couldn’t help letting out a sigh of relief. If Xu Chang Feng really insisted on doing so, he really didn’t know if he could refuse. The current situation was the best possible outcome. Although he wasn’t able to protect Yang Kai, he hadn’t agreed to activate the Sect Protective Array to cut off Yang Kai’s path of survival, so this could be considered an explanation to both him and Lan He.
