“So that’s how it is…” Qi Hai couldn’t help staggering a little, his expression suddenly becoming much older, but in his heart he was sneering. The Phoenix True Fire was such a precious treasure, so how could he not have it with him? This was obviously just an excuse. Since you weren’t willing to help me back then, what was the point of finding such an excuse now?
Yang Kai frowned, “What’s more, your wife was poisoned so you should try your best to detoxify the poison. Why are you pinning your hopes on me?”
Qi Hai said miserably, “There’s no other way, only the Phoenix True Fire can save her life, so when I heard that Brother Yang had come to the Eastern Region, this Qi immediately chased after you. However, Brother Yang’s speed was too fast, so although this Qi was chasing after you, I was unable to catch up. Fortunately, I heard that Brother Yang had come to Heavenly Wolf Valley, so I came here to try my luck.” He paused for a moment before continuing, “I heard that Brother Yang was looking around for a way to get to Spirit Beast Island?”
Yang Kai smiled insincerely, “Brother Qi’s information is quite good.”
How could Qi Hai not hear the ridicule in his words, but he pretended not to know and said seriously, “If that’s the case, this Qi may be able to help.”
Yang Kai looked him up and down, “Brother Qi, don’t tell me you know how to get to Spirit Beast Island.”
Qi Hai smiled lightly, “This Qi is not clear about this, but this Qi knows where to find the Beast Seeking Envoy from Spirit Beast Island! The Beast Seeking Envoy comes from Spirit Beast Island, so as long as we find the Beast Seeking Envoy, how could you not be able to go to Spirit Beast Island?”
Yang Kai’s expression changed, “Where?”
Qi Hai smiled proudly, “The Beast Seeking Envoys of Spirit Beast Island are mainly here to find all kinds of strange Beasts for the Beast Military Great Emperor. Brother Yang, think about it, in the Eastern Region, what kind of place has the most strange Beasts?”
What was there to think about? Yang Kai immediately thought of a place, “Wild Ancient Land!”
Qi Hai clapped his hands and said, “That’s right, there are many strange beasts in the Wild Ancient Land, and many of them have the bloodline of the Ancient Holy Spirit, so how could the Beast Seeking Envoy miss this place? My Heaven Union Fort presides over the periphery of the Wild Ancient Land and has a unique geographical advantage. To be honest with Brother Yang, there is a Beast Seeking Envoy who lives in my Heaven Union Fort all year round.”
“What a coincidence,” Yang Kai stared at him and said lightly, “Brother Qi, do you want me to accompany you back to Heaven Union Fort to see that Beast Seeker and save your wife’s life?”
Qi Hai cupped his hands and said, “If that is the case, this Qi will be eternally grateful.”
Yang Kai nodded and casually asked, “But before that, I have something I would like to ask Brother Qi.”
Qi Hai respectfully replied, “I wouldn’t dare, if Brother Yang has any questions, please feel free to ask.”
Yang Kai said, “The people from Underworld Sect and Buddhist Heaven Holy Land are investigating my whereabouts. Brother Qi should know about this, right?”
“I was just about to discuss this matter with Brother Yang,” Qi Hai revealed a slightly ashamed expression, “This Qi chased Brother Yang all the way here and also mobilized many of Heaven Union Fort spies in the Eastern Region. Perhaps because the commotion caused was too great, the news of Brother Yang’s appearance in the Eastern Region was leaked out, causing the two great forces to also hear about it, resulting in what happened afterwards. Brother Yang, please forgive me.”
“Is that so?” It's unknown whether he believe him or not as he smiled lightly, “I won’t hide it from you, I came to Heavenly Wolf Valley this time to inquire about the way to Spirit Beast Island, but Valley Master Tang seems to be somewhat afraid of Underworld Sect and Buddhist Heaven Holy Land, so he didn’t satisfy my request. If Brother Qi brings me back to Heaven Union Fort, aren’t you afraid those two great forces will find trouble with you?”
Qi Hai decisively said, “As long as I can save my wife’s life, this Qi is willing to pay any price.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Brother Qi’s feelings for your wife are truly sincere. Since that’s the case, I don’t understand.”
Qi Hai asked, “Is there anything Brother Yang doesn’t understand?”
Yang Kai grinned and turned his head to look at the surrounding space, “Since you have a request for me, why did you join forces with the people from the Underworld Sect and the Buddhist Heaven Holy Land? You stopped me here and distracted me by talking to me, making it easier for them to secretly arrange things. Aren’t you afraid that if you offend me, I’ll leave you to die in anger?”
Qi Hai’s expression changed slightly as he asked, “What does Brother Yang mean by that?”
Yang Kai ignored him and instead shouted, “Since you’re here, what are you sneaking around for? Why don’t you show yourself?”
“Hahahaha!” A loud laugh suddenly rang out, “Didn’t I say you guys couldn’t hide your schemes from him? You didn’t believe me, now you’ve lost face?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the space in front of him trembled slightly, and a young man with red eyes and a devilish expression suddenly appeared. He seemed to have been hiding there all this time, but somehow he had managed to conceal his figure, making him almost flawless.
Yang Kai glanced over and raised his brow, “Chi Gui!”
Although he wasn’t familiar with this guy and had only met him once in the Star Fragments Sea, Yang Kai still recognized him at a glance. He was Chi Gui of Ahan Temple that Lan He had mentioned. The main thing was that this guy’s appearance was too unique, so it was difficult to not recognize him.
Chi Gui grinned, as if he was really a malicious spirit, causing everyone to shiver in fear, “Southern Domain, Yang Kai!” As he spoke, his red eyes flashed with a bright light, as if he was an outstanding hunter who had just seen his prey and was preparing to hunt.
“You little brat, if you don’t stop spouting nonsense, this King will tear your mouth apart!” A cold voice rang out as another figure appeared on the other side. It was a sinister old man.
Underworld Sect’s Sect Master Fu Bo! His seniority was higher than Chi Gui’s. Although Chi Gui was also an Emperor Realm, he was just a rising star, so Fu Bo had the qualifications to teach him a lesson.
Hearing this, Chi Gui’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t dare act too presumptuously. With his master not here, if he really provoked Fu Bo, he wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences.
“Sect Master Fu…” Yang Kai looked at Fu Bo and smiled.
Speaking of which, this was not the first time he had met Fu Bo. Back then, he had gone to the Underworld Sect, but at that time, he had used the tiger skin of the Vermilion Bird Phoenix as a flag. With Luan Feng by his side, even if Fu Bo knew that he had killed Yin Le Sheng, he did not dare act too presumptuously and swallow his anger. After all, Yang Kai was involved with the Wild Ancient Land's Holy Spirit, so he did not dare to have any thoughts about it.
This time, if it weren’t for some information and instructions, it would have been impossible for Underworld Sect to make things difficult for Yang Kai again, and the information and instructions he had received made Fu Bo no longer have any scruples. This time, he was determined to settle his old grievances.
“Boy, you’re quite bold, daring to come to the Eastern Region.” Fu Bo coldly snorted, his eyes almost spitting fire as he stared at Yang Kai. Beside him, a number of powerful figures gradually appeared, all of them filled with a ghastly aura. There were more than ten or twenty of them, all of them Emperor Realm.
Yang Kai calmly replied, “The world is vast, I can go wherever I want. It’s just a trip to the Eastern Region, why wouldn’t I dare?”
Fu Bo sneered, “I hope your ability is as great as your tone.”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Sect Master Fu led all the elites of the Underworld Sect this time just to deal with this King. Are you not afraid that Lady Feng will find trouble with you?”
Hearing this, Fu Bo’s expression changed. Naturally, he knew that the Lady Feng Yang Kai was referring to was a Vermilion Bird Phoenix from the Wild Ancient Land, but that was all. He coldly snorted, “How can the Holy Spirit and Wild Ancient Land’s Monster Race interfere in the affairs of my Human Race? It’s fine if they don’t come out, but if they do, this King wants to see if they can survive and return to the Wild Ancient Land.”
Yang Kai stroked his chin and said, “Sect Master Fu seems to have some kind of backing. En, since the people from the Underworld Sect have come, surely the people from the Buddhist Heaven Holy Land have also come?”
He turned his head to the other side and saw a dozen or so figures appear there. The one in the lead was also a Third-Order Emperor Realm master, but his Yin Qi was different from Fu Bo’s. The middle-aged man’s expression was indifferent, but his figure was as straight as a sword, giving off an indescribable pressure.
“Good!” Yang Kai laughed loudly, “With the two top forces’ masters here, this King’s face is quite big, but with so many people here, I don’t know how many of them will survive.”
Chi Gui immediately shocked Yang Kai, “I’ve seen some big talkers, but I’ve never seen someone as big as you.”
Yang Kai turned to look at him and said, “Underworld Sect, the Buddhist Heaven Holy Land has a grudge with me, so I can understand why they came to find trouble with me. Chi Gui, what are you doing?”
Chi Gui’s long fiery red hair fluttered in the wind as he grinned, giving off a devilish charm, “Don’t misunderstand, I don’t have any enmity with you, nor am I in cahoots with them. I just came here to exchange pointers with you. The Eastern Region’s people have all been killed by you, I really can’t find a worthy opponent.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Normally, I wouldn’t mind sparring with you, but today… this is not the time.”
“When the time comes, a great battle can break out at any time!” Chi Gui slowly shook his head.
“You misunderstand,” Yang Kai sighed, “I mean, if it weren’t for today, I could have sparred with you, but if you were to fight today… I’m afraid it would be quite difficult.”
Chi Gui’s expression suddenly became excited, “Are you saying that I’m not your opponent?”
“You’ll know once you try,” Yang Kai smiled lightly as he looked around and said, “All of you are secretly setting up this place to seal off this space so that I won’t have any chance to escape. I’m quite curious, aren’t you going to use some kind of Heaven and Earth Blocking Spirit Array? Do you need more time? I can wait a bit longer.”
He could wait…
These words were extremely ear-piercing, causing the Emperor Realm masters of the two great forces to become enraged. What was the meaning of this little brat’s words? Did he really think he was invincible, that so many Emperor Realm masters couldn’t do anything to him?
Originally, when dealing with Yang Kai, everyone was most worried that he would use his Space Ability to escape. If that was the case, with so many people present, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to him, which was why Qi Hai had come out to delay him so others could secretly arrange things.
Who would have thought that he would be so shameless as to give up his greatest advantage? Once he isolated himself from the world, he would have no way to escape, and if he wanted to leave this place alive, he would have to defeat or kill these several dozen Emperor Realm. Who did he think he was? A Great Emperor?
