It was one thing for the old woman to be beaten up, who asked her to be so arrogant and disrespectful? However, Lady Rong was still the woman of the Ghost Great Emperor, so if she was really beaten up by Yang Kai on Spirit Beast Island, Spirit Beast Island would be fine, but Yang Kai would probably be in trouble.
He couldn’t understand, why would Ghost Great Emperor let these two women come here to question him? Was there no one else in Ghost Palace?
“You dare look down on this Queen?” Lady Rong’s face was so gloomy that it seemed like it would drip water. Although Li Wuyi’s words were vague, how could she not understand? Li Wuyi’s words clearly implied that she was inferior to Yang Kai.
Although she was a woman, she was still a Third-Order Emperor Realm master. Yang Kai was only a Second-Order Emperor Realm master, so how could she be inferior to him? Li Wuyi’s interference was simply to protect him.
“Now I know why that Yao Lin’s personality is so bad. It turns out that she has a mother like you, it would be strange if she had a good personality,” Yang Kai coldly snorted. Now it seemed that not only was her appearance somewhat similar to Lady Rong’s, but even her personality was somewhat inherited. She was indeed a kind mother, but also a loser.
Lady Rong grit her teeth and said, “It’s not up to you to judge Lin’er’s character.” Turning to Li Wuyi, she asked, “Are you going to move?”
Judging from her posture, she was determined to teach Yang Kai a lesson.
Li Wuyi lowered his eyes slightly and said lightly, “Not long ago, the destruction of the Underworld Sect and the Buddhist Heaven Holy Land should have been heard by Madam.”
Lady Rong’s brow furrowed slightly, not knowing why Li Wuyi had brought this up at this time, impatiently asking, “So what?”
Li Wuyi continued, “I don’t know if Madam thinks she’s stronger than Fu Po or Xu Chang Feng?”
Lady Rong asked solemnly, “What are you trying to say?”
Li Wuyi sighed and stared deeply at her. This woman really was a bit unreasonable, simply stupid to the point of beyond stupidity. She was just a bit more beautiful. He really didn’t know how the Ghost Great Emperor had taken a liking to her. If it was anyone else who was slightly smarter, how could they not have guessed anything? But she was still completely confused.
“Although Underworld Sect and Buddhist Heaven Holy Land were destroyed by Ahan Temple, the root cause of this was the two great forces’ masters was exhausted. The one who caused all of this was standing in front of you.”
“You?” Before Lady Rong could react, she stared at Li Wuyi in shock, wondering why Li Wuyi had attacked the people from the Underworld Sect and the Buddhist Heaven Holy Land. Did those people provoke him?
On the other hand, the old woman’s eyes flashed with shock as she glanced over at Yang Kai before quickly walking over to Lady Rong and whispering to her.
Lady Rong’s expression changed as she finally turned her attention to Yang Kai.
“Does Madam still want to take action? If so, please feel free to do so, but bear the consequences yourself, this Li will not interfere,” Li Wuyi looked at her indifferently.
Lady Rong’s expression became conflicted, but in the end, she waved her sleeve and said, “This Mistress doesn’t want to bully the weak.” What a joke, to be able to destroy so many Emperor Realm masters from these two great forces, she was probably not his opponent. If she insisted on attacking, the only one who would suffer would be her. She glared at Yang Kai hatefully, “This Mistress will remember what happened today. Boy, you’re on your own now, let’s go!”
Saying so, she led the old woman away.
Before the old woman left, she glared at Yang Kai with hatred, as if she wanted to remember him forever. After all, she had never suffered such a big loss before, so naturally she was upset. Although she was old and only had a Second-Order Emperor Realm cultivation, with a backer like Ghost Palace and a backer like Lady Rong, anyone in the Eastern Region would have to be respectful to her. When had she ever been slapped in the face and had even lost a few teeth?
Inside the hall, Yang Kai and Li Wuyi looked at each other speechlessly.
A few days ago, they had known that someone from Ghost Palace would come to question them, but no one had expected things to develop like this.
Li Wuyi smiled bitterly, “What kind of grudge do you have with that Lady Rong?”
Yang Kai shook his head, “This is the first time we’ve met, there’s no conflict between us.”
Li Wuyi asked curiously, “Then why is she so hostile towards you so soon after meeting you?” If it weren’t for this preconceived notion, this conversation wouldn’t have become so awkward. Although he couldn’t ask anything, Yang Kai had already told Mo Huang everything he knew, and Mo Huang had also sent a message to Ghost Palace.
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before thoughtfully saying, “Perhaps it’s because of Yao Lin. Back then, I had some conflict with her and nearly killed her. She should have told this to that Lady Rong, which is why she was so hostile towards me.”
Listening to his explanation, Li Wuyi nodded and said, “That makes sense, sigh, it’s just a woman’s opinion.” Although Yang Kai had some conflicts with Yao Lin in the past, that was all in the past. Now that she had been captured, if anyone else had come here, they would definitely have asked about the situation in detail instead of showing off their arrogance.
However, since Lady Rong had said so, it was not Yang Kai’s fault. Since the old woman had wanted to beaten him up, it was likely that Ghost Great Emperor wouldn’t stand up for an old woman. At this moment, he should be investigating the whereabouts of Yao Lin.
Yang Kai had stayed on Spirit Beast Island mainly because he was waiting for the people from Ghost Palace to arrive. Now that things were settled, it was naturally time for him to return.
After seeing Mo Huang again and bidding him farewell, Li Wuyi, Mo Xiaoqi, and Jiu Feng said farewell and he stepped onto the Space Array.
With Void Travel, his vision blurred and he appeared in the North Region’s High Heaven Palace.
The disciple guarding the Spirit Array noticed this anomaly and turned his head. Seeing that it was Yang Kai, he immediately bowed and sent a message to Hua Qingsi. This was something Hua Qingsi had specifically told him to inform her as soon as Yang Kai returned.
It couldn’t be helped, after all, this Palace Master was quite elusive and rarely stayed in High Heaven Palace. Moreover, he had been gone for more than a decade. This time, he had only been gone for a year or so. The last time he had gone to the Lower Planes Star Field, he had not appeared for more than a decade.
Although Hua Qingsi was High Heaven Palace’s Chief Manager, she was still just a Chief Manager and had many things to report to Yang Kai.
This was the first time Qiong Qi had come to High Heaven Palace, but he had learned that his Young Lord had established a Sect in the North Region, and its scale was not small. There were many masters in the Sect, so now that he had finally arrived, he naturally wanted to take a look.
After informing Yang Kai, Qiong Qi crossed his arms behind his back and began exploring the various peaks of High Heaven Palace.
Yang Kai naturally let him be and returned to his High Heaven Peak.
After tidying up a bit, Yang Xiao was released in the room and the little brat immediately complained, “Foster Father, why did you lock me up for so long?”
The Dragon Race was truly worthy of being called the Dragon Race. The last time Yang Kai and the two Wood Spirits had treated him, Yang Xiao’s injuries had healed in two or three days, but when Yang Kai was on Spirit Beast Island, he didn’t let him out for fear he would stir up trouble. It wasn’t until he returned to High Heaven Palace that he was able to see the light of day again.
“I’m your foster father, I can do whatever I want to you, why are you complaining so much!” Yang Kai snorted.
Yang Xiao’s eyes flickered as he smiled apologetically, “Foster Father, please calm down, I was just casually saying.” Turning his head to look around, he asked, “What is this place?”
“North Region, High Heaven Palace!”
Yang Xiao blinked in confusion.
Yang Kai continued, “High Heaven Palace is my Sect. In the future, you will live here, so remember to be obedient and not cause any trouble, understand?”
“I know, I know,” Yang Xiao nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice as he looked at Yang Kai curiously, “Foster Father, you said that High Heaven Palace is your Sect, so are you the Palace Master here?”
“Yes!” Yang Kai nodded.
Hearing this, Yang Xiao was overjoyed, jumping up and down, “Wahahaha, isn’t this Young Lord the Young Palace Master of this place?” Saying so, his face lit up as he asked, “Foster Father, how many people does our High Heaven Palace have, and how strong are they?”
This little brat’s adaptability was quite strong. After learning that Yang Kai was High Heaven Palace’s Palace Master, he immediately added the word ‘us’ in front of High Heaven Palace, obviously treating this place as his home.
Speaking of which, Yang Kai and him were like father and son. High Heaven Palace was Yang Kai’s home, so naturally it was also his home.
“You’ll find out in the future, there’s no need to ask so many questions,” Yang Kai reprimanded with a straight face. After he finished speaking, his expression changed and he looked outside.
Hua Qingsi walked in with a worried look on her face and stared at Yang Kai bitterly before bowing, “Palace Master.”
“Elder Sister Hua!” Yang Kai smiled.
Hua Qingsi snorted, “Palace Master, how could you bear to come back?”
Yang Kai sniffed and said, “What are you saying? High Heaven Palace is my home, how could I not be willing to return?”
Hua Qingsi said, “The disciples migrating to the Southern Domain is a big thing, yet you just left like that. Now that everything has been settled, you’ve returned. The Palace Master is truly living a carefree life, making this Elder Sister Hua so envious.”
Yang Kai clenched his fists and coughed lightly, “A capable man should have more work to do. Besides, I have some matters to attend to, right? Is there anything going on in the Plain Palace Branch Sect?”
“With the three Monster Kings protecting it, what could possibly happen?”
“What about the Northern Domain?”
“Everything is normal.”
“En, that’s good,” Yang Kai laughed, “It looks like our High Heaven Palace is thriving under your management, Elder Sister Hua. With or without me, there’s no difference.”
“Don’t flatter me, I’m prepared to bid you farewell.”
Yang Kai was stunned, “Farewell?”
Hua Qingsi sighed, “En, if I continue to work like this, I’m afraid Elder Sister Hua will grow old in a few years. I don’t want to become like that too early,” As she spoke, she smiled at Yang Kai.
How could Yang Kai not know that she was complaining to him and wasn’t really about to leave, but then again, Elder Sister Hua was indeed quite tired. The food, accommodations, cultivation resources, and trade between the Northern Domain and Southern Domain had all been taken care of by her, and now she had to deal with all kinds of trivial matters from the Plain Palace Branch Sect. A person’s energy was limited, and after Hua Qingsi broke through to the First-Order Emperor Realm, her cultivation had yet to increase. There were simply too many things she needed to handle, so how could she have time to cultivate?
