“Arrogant!” Chi Gui stared at Yang Kai with his mouth agape, his heart filled with admiration. He couldn’t possibly be as free and elegant as Yang Kai. Not only did he not think of a way to escape, he even ridiculed them. Did he think he had lived too long?
Xu Chang Feng said lightly, “Sealing the world doesn’t necessarily mean you have to set up some kind of astonishing Great Array. Do you think you can relax just because you have a Space Divine Ability? Young man, in this world, there is always something you don’t know.”
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and said, “Holy Master Xu’s words sound very interesting, can I understand that you have already sealed off this world?”
Xu Chang Feng smiled lightly, “Why don’t you give it a try?”
Yang Kai nodded and really did try it out. As the Space Laws surged, he suddenly discovered that the surrounding world was like an impregnable cage. Although he could use his Space Laws, he could no longer teleport.
On the surface, his expression remained calm, but in his heart, he was slightly shocked as he looked around.
He hadn’t discovered any traces of Arrays in this place, so how did the surrounding space suddenly become so isolated that his teleportation couldn’t be used? Could it be that there was a master proficient in the Space Laws in the enemy’s camp? Only a master proficient in the Space Laws would be able to seal off this world without anyone noticing, but that shouldn’t be possible. It was extremely difficult to master the Space Laws, and even harder to cultivate. Just what kind of person was that Sheng Yuzhu? It was an existence that could compete with Wu Kuang for the position of Great Emperor. After being trapped in the Void for tens of thousands of years and painstakingly studying the Space Force, she was only a beginner.
If there really was someone who was proficient in the Space Laws from the Underworld Sect and Buddhist Heaven Holy Land, they wouldn’t be unknown, their fame would have already risen.
Since he couldn’t figure it out, Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered to think about it, because he had no intention of using teleportation to break through today.
“Do you have anything else you want to say?” Fu Bo stared coldly at Yang Kai, the killing intent in his eyes almost solidifying. Unlike the hatred between the Buddhist Heaven Holy Land and Yang Kai, the only reason the Buddhist Heaven Holy Land wanted to deal with Yang Kai was because the two Holy Childs had died at his hands in the Star Fragments Sea.
Although some people from the Underworld Sect had been killed by Yang Kai, this was not the real reason Fu Bo wanted to deal with him. The biggest reason was the Great Desolate Star Field incident.
The Great Desolate Star Field’s Underworld Sect could be considered the Origin of the Star Boundary’s Udnerworld Sect. It was precisely because the masters of the Great Desolate Star Field’s Underowrld Sect had come to the Star Boundary and cultivated successfully that they had established an Underworld Sect in the Star Boundary. The relationship between the two Sects had been difficult to separate, but not long ago, the Underworld Sect of the Great Desolate Star Field had been uprooted by Yang Kai and its foundation had been destroyed. Its disciples had been slaughtered, and when Fu Bo heard this news, he almost couldn’t breathe.
Coupled with the fact that Yang Kai had once killed Yin Le Sheng and Elder Hua Feichen, it could be said that both old and new grievances had been thrown into chaos.
Even if Yang Kai really had some kind of relationship with the Wild Ancient Land’s Holy Spirit, so what? In the past, Fu Bo could swallow his anger for Luan Feng’s sake and hide his grievances in his heart, but after the incident in the Great Desolate Star Field, Fu Bo could no longer endure it and was determined to kill Yang Kai for revenge.
Just as he had said, this was a matter of the Human Race. Although he was wary of Luan Feng, if the Wild Ancient Land's Holy Spirit and Monster Race really wanted to interfere in the Human Race’s affairs, it wasn’t like no one would deal with them.
“It’s hard to say who will die and who will live, isn’t Sect Master Fu being too optimistic?” Yang Kai glanced at him before turning to Qi Hai and shaking his head in disappointment, “Why did you do that? Did you think that by helping them plot to kill me, you could snatch away the Phoenix True Fire and save your wife?”
Qi Hai’s expression suddenly became fierce, “She’s already dead, it’s you who caused her death. If I don’t kill you today, the hatred in my heart won’t subside.”
Hearing this, Fu Bo laughed loudly, “Good disciple, well said.”
Yang Kai raised his brow and said with some surprise, “So you’ve already joined the Underworld Sect, no wonder you were able to become an Emperor Realm. However, Qi Hai, you’re wrong.”
Qi Hai clenched his fists and grit his teeth, “What wrong did I do?”
Yang Kai gently said, “Your wife’s death has nothing to do with me. She will die, but it is not up to anyone.”
“Bullshit!” Qi Hai flew into a rage, his face filled with pain and ferocity as he shouted, “Back then, you clearly had the ability to save her life, but you turned a deaf ear to her and caused her to suffer so much pain that she eventually passed away. All of this is your fault.”
Yang Kai sneered, “According to what you said, anyone who has the ability to cure your wife’s poison in this world is your enemy, because they have the ability to do so but haven’t helped you. Qi Hai, is there something wrong with your head?”
Qi Hai coldly replied, “I don’t know if others have this ability, I only know that you have it.”
Yang Kai shook his head and sighed, “Because of this, you hold a grudge against me. Your wife really trust the wrong person. If she was still alive, I wouldn’t have gone to save her. It would be best if she died sooner so that she wouldn’t have to suffer in the future with an irresponsible person like you.” [TL: Burn~]
“Shut up!” Qi Hai’s expression became fierce, as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
Yang Kai continued, “As a man, you don’t have the ability to protect your woman’s wellbeing. If you place all your hopes on someone else, what is your role?”
Qi Hai flew into a rage out of humiliation and roared, “I’ll kill you!”
The death of that woman was the greatest pain in his life, a knot in his heart that he couldn’t let go of. If it weren’t for that, he wouldn’t have tried so hard to join the Underworld Sect and find such a powerful backer, simply because he knew he wouldn’t be able to deal with Yang Kai with his own strength. In any case, the Underworld Sect had a grudge with Yang Kai, so using the power of the Udnerworld Sect might give him a chance to obtain what he wanted.
Today, Yang Kai had really been trapped here. With so many masters watching, even if he had wings, he wouldn’t be able to escape. Now that he was angered by Yang Kai’s words, coupled with his own desires, he naturally wanted to kill Yang Kai himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and summoned a black banner. In an instant, Yin Qi surged and the world was filled with the cries of ghosts and howls of wolves. This was one of the two great artifacts of the Underworld Sect, the Myriad Soul Banner.
Yang Kai stared at him coldly, as if he was staring at a dead man.
Although he didn’t have any enmity with Qi Hai, since the other party had taken him as an enemy and attacked him, Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t show any mercy. A mere First-Order Emperor Realm could be killed in the blink of an eye.
However, after Qi Hai took out this Myriad Soul Banner, he didn’t immediately attack Yang Kai, instead staring at it with wide eyes.
Because at this moment, a blurry figure suddenly floated out from the Myriad Soul Banner.
It was the figure of a woman, most likely a kind of Spirit Body, because it seemed somewhat illusory, with no substance. Her entire body was covered in a thick layer of Ghost Qi, and her face was pale. However, it was not difficult to discover that this woman must have been a peerless beauty when she was alive, with a gentle demeanor. Even her Ghost Qi could not conceal her peerless beauty.
“En?” On the other side, Fu Bo, who had been quietly observing the situation and had no intention of stopping Qi Hai, suddenly stared at the woman’s ghost shadow, his eyes flashing as he called out, “Yin Spirit!”
Because of the Cultivation Techniques and Secret Techniques that the Underworld Sect cultivated, it had to deal with Yin Souls and Deaths all year round. The Myriad Soul Banner was refined from Yin Souls, and the more Yin Souls it refined, the more powerful it would become.
However, Yin Souls were easy to obtain, but Yin Spirit were difficult to obtain because ordinary Yin Souls did not have any sentience. No matter how powerful they were when they were alive, once they died and were refined by the Underworld Sect’s disciples using a Secret Technique, they would become obedient Souls.
However, Yin Spirits were different. Yin Spirits could be said to be another type of existence, and they were also a type of Yin Soul. They did not have flesh and blood, but they had their own consciousness and had great room for growth.
If one could obtain a Yin Spirit as their primary soul, the power of the Myriad Soul Banner would greatly increase. However, the probability of a Yin Spirit appearing was too low. There were countless Myriad Soul Banner in the entire Underworld Sect, but there were only a few of them, all of which were regarded as treasures by the Emperor Realm masters.
At this moment, Fu Bo actually saw a Yin Spirit on Qi Hai’s Myriad Soul Banner, and this Yin Spirit seemed to be more outstanding and pure than all the other Yin Spirits he had ever seen. Such a Yin Spirit was simply rare in this world, causing him to gnash his teeth in anger. If he had known that this cheap disciple of his had such a Yin Spirit, he would have done everything he could to obtain it, how could he have wasted it on Qi Hai?
After the Yin Spirit appeared, it was not driven by Qi Hai to rush towards Yang Kai. Instead, it turned around and faced Qi Hai, quietly staring at him. Its eyes, which should have lost their consciousness, were now filled with a human-like light.
Qi Hai stood there dumbly, his whole body trembling as he slowly stretched out his hand and touched the Yin Spirit Void’s face, asking in a trembling voice, “Xiu Xiu? Is that you?”
Yang Kai’s face sank, “You actually refined her into a Banner Soul?”
Although they had never seen the appearance of this Yin Spirit before its death, anyone with a little insight should be able to tell that this Yin Spirit called Xiu Xiu by Qi Hai was his wife.
However, no one had expected that he had actually refined his wife’s Soul. If not for this, how could it come out from the Myriad Soul Banner?
This action could be said to be utterly devoid of conscience, angering both humans and gods alike. Even the group from the Underworld Sect looked at Qi Hai with a different light in their eyes.
Although they had also refined their Souls and strengthened the might of the Myriad Soul Banner, none of them had dealt with their relatives, let alone their loved ones.
“So that’s how it is.” Fu Bo’s expression changed slightly, as if he had understood something. He thought to himself that it was no wonder Qi Hai had specially come to the Underworld Sect back then and paid the price of the entire Heaven Union Fort to join the Sect. Afterwards, he had even asked to cultivate the Myriad Soul Banner Secret Technique. It turned out that he had wanted to keep his wife’s Soul with him.
When a person died, their Soul would be extinguished like a lamp, but the secret technique of the Underworld Sect was able to retain their Soul. However, as the Soul of the Myriad Soul Banner, the outcome was destined to not be good. After all, in this way, they would have to spend the rest of their lives together with the Myriad Soul Banner. Not only would they lose the qualifications to reincarnate, but they would also be easily devoured by other Banner Souls.
