Tang Sheng nodded lightly and said respectfully, “Yes, that is Sir Li.”
The title of the number one person below the Great Emperor Realm was extremely resounding. As long as one’s cultivation reached a certain level in the Star Boundary, there were very few people who didn’t know about Li Wuyi.
However, there weren’t many people who had seen him before. After all, Spirit Beast Island was an ethereal place, and Li Wuyi himself was proficient in the Space Laws, so it was easy for him to come and go without a trace. Tang Sheng had met him once in his early years, and at that time, he hadn’t even reached the Emperor Realm. At that time, he was still a young boy.
Now, hundreds of years had passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Sheng had already reached the middle age, but time seemed to have left no mark on Li Wuyi’s body. He was still as spirited as he had been a thousand years ago.
Tang Sheng let out a long sigh. In his entire life, he probably had no hope of reaching such a level. Even a Third-Order Emperor Realm master would find it difficult to do so. Turning his head to look at Lan He, who had a brilliant light in her eyes, and Chi Gui, he wondered if they would have such an opportunity.
“That person is Li Wuyi, so the woman beside him… could she be the legendary Jiu Feng?” Qian Xiuying’s expression changed as she stared at the beautiful young woman in red.
Spirit Beast Island’s two great masters, Li Wuyi and Jiu Feng, were both extremely famous. The former was proficient in the Space Laws, while the latter was the Holy Spirit, a Phoenix Clan that was even rarer than the Dragon Race.
Tang Sheng nodded and said, “It should be. Why are they here? Could it be they were attracted by the battle here?”
Although Spirit Beast Island was also in the Eastern Region, it was too far away. Even if there had been a great battle here, Spirit Beast Island wouldn’t have been able to sense it. The only possibility was that they were nearby, which was why they were able to arrive so quickly.
“How lively.” In the sky, the Void Crack slowly disappeared, and Jiu Feng’s beautiful eyes looked around before she let out a light laugh and fixed her gaze on Yang Kai, her eyes narrowing slightly before bursting out with light, “It’s you, little brat?”
Although Yang Kai’s physique had undergone a massive change, she was still able to recognize him at a glance. After all, this was not the first time she had come into contact with him like this. Back on Dragon Island, she had seen Yang Kai’s Dragon Transformation form, so she was naturally no stranger to it.
“Greetings, Senior Jiu Feng, greetings, Senior Li!” Yang Kai cupped his hands towards the two of them and grinned. This was quite interesting. He had originally wanted to take some time to visit Spirit Beast Island to discuss the Space Laws with Li Wuyi, but he hadn’t expected the other party to actually come here and save him some trouble.
“What Senior? Am I very old?” Jiu Feng’s face sank.
Yang Kai grinned, “Big Sister Jiu Feng is young and beautiful, how could she be old? It was Yang Kai who said the wrong thing, so please forgive him.”
Jiu Feng’s face was full of smiles as she nodded repeatedly, “This child is worth teaching!”
Li Wuyi put his hand to his forehead, “Do you have any shame?”
Jiu Feng shot him a sidelong glance, “You say I’m shameless? You dare say I’m shameless?”
Li Wuyi pointed at Yang Kai and said, “I’m talking about this little brat, his ability to act according to the situation is truly amazing. If the Dragon Race knew you were acting like this, I don’t know if they would clean up after you.”
Yang Kai laughed, “The Dragon Race can’t control me, but Big Brother Li and Big Sister Jiu Feng, why are you here?”
Li Wuyi was stunned by this 'Big Brother Li'. When they had first met, Yang Kai had always addressed him as Senior, respectful, but in the blink of an eye, he had become a big brother.
However, thinking about how Jiu Feng had already become a big sister, he was afraid that he could only act as his big brother for a while. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be taking advantage of Jiu Feng? If this great aunt were to fly into a rage, he wouldn’t be able to handle it.
“It’s a long story, what happened to your side?” Li Wuyi didn’t go into detail, but his eyes swept over the flirtatious old man standing next to Yang Kai, seeking protection.
Sure enough, it had something to do with this old man. Yang Kai’s mind was clear. When the Void Crack appeared, the old man had immediately run over to him. Yang Kai had already guessed this, but now that he saw Li Wuyi’s expression, he knew his guess was correct.
However… were the two masters of Spirit Beast Island only acting to deal with him? Just what kind of Holy Spirit incarnation was this old man, to actually provoke Li Wuyi and Jiu Feng to chase after him?
What’s more, if you’re being chased, why aren’t you running for your life? Why did you come here to seek refuge with a Young Lord? And now you’re even standing by my side looking for protection. Can I even protect you?
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Kai smiled and said, “It’s nothing much, it’s just that someone covets some good things in my possession, so they’re trying their best to kill me for them.” As he spoke, he glanced over at Cang Mo and sneered.
“Murder and robbery!” Jiu Feng’s brow wrinkled, a look of displeasure appearing on her face.
Yang Kai and Spirit Beast Island seemed to have no connection, but in reality, they had a deep relationship.
First of all, the Little Princess of Spirit Beast Island, Mo Xiaoqi, had a very good relationship with Yang Kai. All these years, Xiaoqi had mentioned Yang Kai countless times on Spirit Beast Island and wanted to leave Spirit Beast Island to visit him, but she had no choice but to be grounded by Beast Military Great Emperor, causing her a great deal of pain. How could Jiu Feng not see the little girl’s vague feelings towards Yang Kai? If something happened to Yang Kai, the little girl would definitely cause a huge ruckus.
Secondly, the Mistress of Spirit Beast Island was the Third Elder of Dragon Island, and Yang Kai and the Fifth Elder of Dragon Island had become husband and wife. Last time, they had fought side by side on Dragon Island and even the Great Emperor had praised Yang Kai greatly. With such an indirect relationship between them, it could be said that they had become somewhat related.
Thirdly, Liu Yan was extremely loyal to Yang Kai and was completely devoted to him. Liu Yan had inherited the Phoenix True Fire and could barely be considered a member of the Phoenix Clan, one of Jiu Feng's few family members.
On the surface, Yang Kai didn’t seem to have any relationship with Spirit Beast Island, but strictly speaking, their relationship was quite complicated.
This was why Jiu Feng’s attitude towards Yang Kai was so friendly, even deliberately changing the way they addressed eaach other to increase their relationship.
Now that she suddenly heard that someone wanted to kill Yang Kai and steal his treasures, Jiu Feng naturally became angry.
Turning to look, Jiu Feng couldn’t help frowning, wondering why it was him.
Li Wuyi also looked to the side and asked in surprise, “Brother Cang?”
“Brother Li, Lady Jiu Feng,” Cang Mo coughed lightly and cupped his fists, his aura somewhat weak.
Li Wuyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Little brat Yang said someone want to kill him to seize his treasure, could it be Brother Cang?” Although he asked this question, he also knew that this was probably the truth. Seeing Cang Mo and Yang Kai’s current state, it was obvious that they had just fought a great battle, and both of them had gone all out. In the end, both sides had suffered heavy losses, neither of them having a good time.
Instead of answering, Cang Mo asked, “Is Brother Li familiar with this kid?”
Li Wuyi said, “How should I put it… En, Yang Boy can barely be considered half a member of Spirit Beast Island.”
Putting aside Mo Xiaoqi’s hazy feelings for Yang Kai, just the Dragon Race’s Third Elder and Fifth Elder, together with Liu Yan and Jiu Feng’s relationship, it's not far away from becoming the people of Spirit Beast Island.
Cang Mo couldn’t help being moved, “This kid is actually from Spirit Beast Island?” Although Li Wuyi was talking about half of Spirit Beast Island’s people, what kind of existence was Spirit Beast Island? Since it had such recognition, it meant that Yang Kai had a deep relationship with Spirit Beast Island.
Otherwise, Li Wuyi could simply say that there was no relationship between them, so Cang Mo was truly shocked.
In his heart, he couldn’t help smiling bitterly. If he had known this would happen, how could he have done such a thankless task? Not only had he failed to obtain what he wanted, he had even provoked such an enemy for no reason, causing the old man to beat him until he lose all face.
This time, he had really suffered a double loss.
Inside Heavenly Wolf Valley, Tang Sheng and the others all wore stunned expressions.
Although they weren’t close to the battlefield, Tang Sheng and the others’ cultivation wasn’t low, so they could hear what Li Wuyi was saying.
Half of Spirit Beast Island’s people? Tang Sheng’s heart was filled with resentment. Since you’re half of Spirit Beast Island’s people, how could you not know where Spirit Beast Island was? You even came to Heavenly Wolf Valley to ask for help, are you trying to cheat us?
He had previously thought that Yang Kai had nothing to do with Spirit Beast Island, so in order to avoid offending the two great forces, he had not agreed to help. When Lan He sent Yang Kai off, he had even specially ordered people to call Lan He back so as to avoid drawing too much attention.
Only now did he realize that the other party’s relationship with Spirit Beast Island was very good. If he had known this would happen, how could he have made such a foolish decision? The Heavenly Wolf Valley held a token given to them by the Beast Seeking Envoy of Spirit Beast Island and could use it as their greatest protection. It was enough to make all the forces in the entire Eastern Region fear them and not dare to act rashly against the Heavenly Wolf Valley. If they could connect with Yang Kai this time, it would not be impossible for the Heavenly Wolf Valley to rise up and become one of the top forces.
Tang Sheng wore a look of annoyance, as if he had just missed a great opportunity.
Lan He glanced at him and sighed.
Previously, she had asked Tang Sheng if he would regret it, but now that the result was out, the look of regret and frustration on his face was obvious.
Qian Xiuying had been married to him for many years, so how could she not know what he was thinking? She reached out to hold his hand and gently said, “Since you’re in this position, you naturally have to consider many things. If you had another chance, what would you choose? Would you change?”
Another chance? Tang Sheng thought for a moment before replying, “No.”
Even if he had another chance, he would still make the same choice, because from the situation at that time, he had no other choice.
Qian Xiuying smiled lightly, “So there’s no need to be upset. This is not an opportunity for my Heavenly Wolf Valley, it cannot be forced.”
Listening to her words, Tang Sheng couldn’t help feeling enlightened and nodded, “Madam is right, I was thinking too much.” Fortunately, although he didn’t help Yang Kai this time, the Heavenly Wolf Valley didn’t kick him while he was down and even refused Xu Chang Feng’s proposal to open the Sect’s Grand Array to cut off the world, so he didn’t offend Yang Kai.
Coupled with the relationship between Lan He and Ling Yinqin, Yang Kai probably wouldn’t find trouble with Heavenly Wolf Valley.
