The Wheel World wasn’t big, but it wasn’t small either. Last time, Yang Kai, Zhu Qing, Zhu Lie and Li Jiao had spent several months in this world, so even if he weren’t familiar with this place, he weren’t too unfamiliar with it.
He briefly identified the direction before Yang Kai flew towards the Human Emperor City.
Half a day later, a green light curtain that looked like an inverted bowl appeared in front of his eyes and a familiar aura came from it.
This was Human Emperor City, which was protected by a dark green light curtain.
Yang Kai knew that this was the power of the Saint Tree.
Currently, the laws of the Demon Territory were flowing through the Wheel World, so when the Demon Race went out to wreak havoc, the residents of Human Emperor City were unable to leave the protection of the Saint Tree, otherwise they would be corroded by Demonic Qi and become Demon Race.
Every time this happened, the humans who went out would return to Human Emperor City to avoid the Demonic Qi.
Yang Kai recalled all the information he had learned about the Human Emperor City and the Saint Tree, and soon arrived outside the city. Looking down, he saw that the city was bustling with people.
However, in the next instant, the sound of a bell rang out from a tower atop the city wall, and someone shouted, “The Demon Race is attacking! The Demon Race is attacking!” Although the person who shouted was not very strong, he was at least a Principle Source Stage master, and with his strength, his voice could be heard throughout the entire Human Emperor City.
The endless stream of people suddenly fell into a strange state of stillness, and after three breaths of time, the crowd burst into an uproar and began running away.
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment. A Demon Race attack? What Demon Race?
Looking around, he suddenly realized that the Demon Race… wasn’t referring to him, right?
Lowering his head to look at the alarm clock tower, he found that the Principle Source Stage cultivator who had shouted was staring at him with a look of hatred.
Yang Kai’s face twitched as he really wanted to take his eyes off him and let him take a closer look. How did he resemble a Demon Race?
However, after thinking about it again, Yang Kai couldn’t blame him for being so nervous. After all, the outside world was now filled with the Demon Territory’s laws, so the only ones who were still active outside were the Demon Race.
Being misunderstood was inevitable.
With this thought in mind, he shouted loudly, “This King is not a Demon Race, everyone, don’t panic!”
The Principle Source Stage cultivator ignored him and continued to strike the bell while shouting.
* Swish swish swish swish swish * More and more people flew towards the city wall where Yang Kai was, all of them looking as if they were about to face a great enemy. There were even several Emperor Realm among them.
This caused Yang Kai’s eyes to light up. Although the population of Human Emperor City wasn’t very high, because of its special environment, there seemed to be a lot of Emperor Realm. The last time Yang Kai had come here, he had encountered several Third-Order Emperor Realm. If he could bring this force out, it would be helpful to the situation of the Star Boundary.
Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard an angry shout, “Who goes there!”
Yang Kai looked towards the source of the voice and fixed his eyes on a Second-Order Emperor Realm old man. Nodding slightly, he said, “This King is Yang Kai, not a Demon Race cultivator. Please open the barrier, this King has come to discuss something with the Human Emperor.”
The half-grown old man immediately shouted angrily, “How dare you! The Human Emperor’s title is not something you demons can call at will! If you know what’s good for you, quickly retreat, or I’ll take your dog life!”
The corners of Yang Kai’s eyes twitched as he asked, “Old Sir, look carefully, how does this king resemble a Demon Race?”
The old man snorted, “Don’t waste your breath, I’ll give you three breaths of time. If you don’t retreat, you’ll have to bear the consequences!”
Yang Kai let out a long sigh and asked helplessly, “Is it really impossible to open the barrier?”
“Scram!” The old man roared.
Yang Kai grinned and slowly stretched out his hand towards the dark green light curtain, “Since that’s the case, I’ll come in myself.”
The old man sneered but didn’t try to stop him. After all, the protection of the Saint Tree was extremely effective against the Demon Race. Once one was infected by it, they would either die or be injured. Otherwise, after so many years, the Human Emperor City wouldn’t have been safe and sound and would have long been attacked by the Demon Race.
This ‘Demon Race’ actually dared to recklessly try to break through the protection of the Saint Tree. In his eyes, this was simply courting death, a complete fool.
However, in the next moment, the sneer on his face suddenly froze and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Because Yang Kai’s handprint on the dark green light curtain showed no signs of injury. Not only that, but the dark green light curtain also rippled, as if it was about to break.
How was this possible?
This was the protection of the Saint Tree that had protected the Human Emperor City for more than a hundred thousand years, and now it had actually accepted a 'Demon Race'?
To be honest, the defensive power of the Saint Tree was indeed very strong, so even if the Demon Race really attacked it, it would be impossible to break through. However, Yang Kai didn’t want to break through the barrier, he just wanted to enter the Human Emperor City, which meant there were many things he could use.
He was a Wizard King and was also the object of the Saint Tree’s protection, so if he wanted to enter the city, how could the Saint Tree stop him?
Previously, he just didn’t want the people from the Human Emperor City to be too nervous, but now he had no choice but to act on his own.
As the ripples continued to spread, Yang Kai’s entire arm reached in, followed by half his body.
In just ten breaths of time, Yang Kai was already inside the Human Emperor City.
Below, countless residents of the Human Emperor City who saw this scene turned ashen, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse.
The fact that this ‘Demon Race’ could easily break through the Saint Tree’s defences and enter Human Emperor City meant that the other Demon Race could also do so. In other words, Human Emperor City was no longer safe, but in this world, where else could they go besides Human Emperor City? If they were to leave the protection of Human Emperor City and the Saint Tree, they would really die.
The group of people who had just arrived at the tower finally came to their senses, and the old man roared, “The Demon Race is attacking! Kill!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to rush towards Yang Kai. Even now, he was certain that Yang Kai was from the Demon Race.
In mid-air, he had already sent out a punch with the faint sound of a tiger’s roar. A White Tiger phantom that had almost condensed into a physical form pounced towards Yang Kai, its momentum extraordinary.
The others also hurriedly followed, all of them executing their killing moves.
Blue veins popped out on Yang Kai’s forehead as he raised his hand and struck out.
A dragon’s roar resounded through the sky, shaking the entire Human Emperor City. The phantom of a giant dragon roared and bit the white tiger, causing it to cry out in pain and collapse into the air. However, the giant dragon’s momentum didn’t decrease as it rushed into the crowd, swinging left and right, knocking everyone around.
The old man turned pale with fright. As soon as Yang Kai made his move, he was able to sense his opponent’s cultivation, the same as himself, a Second-Order Emperor Realm.
However, this opponent, a Second-Order Emperor Realm, seemed to be… quite extraordinary. He was actually not his opponent at all.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. Looking over, it was the Demon Race who had invaded the city.
The old man turned pale with fright and quickly retreated.
But how could he retreat? Yang Kai had already grabbed him by the collar and dragged him in front of him, staring at him fiercely.
'My life is over!' The old man cried in his heart, but he heard Yang Kai grit his teeth and say, “I said I’m not a Demon Race, open your eyes and look carefully.”
The old man was in a daze, only having the lingering fear of escaping death, how could he have the mood to observe Yang Kai?
“Stop!” At this moment, an angry shout rang out as several figures flew over from the center of Human Emperor City. The one in the lead was a handsome man with a handsome face and a few Emperor Realm accompanying him. One of them was even a Third-Order Emperor Realm master. He must have noticed the commotion here and quickly rushed over to investigate.
Hearing this voice, Yang Kai turned around and grinned towards the young man in the lead, “Third Prince, long time no see.”
This young man was none other than the Third Son of the Human Emperor. The last time Yang Kai had come here, he had also met this young man, but they hadn’t exchanged much, so now that they had met again, he naturally recognized him.
The Third Prince glanced at Yang Kai in surprise before saying, “I heard a similar voice just now, so it really is Sir Yang.”
“Of course it’s me!” Yang Kai nodded at him before letting go of the old man’s clothes and smoothing out the creases on his clothes, “Old Sir, I said I wasn’t a Demon Race, do you believe me now?”
The old man nodded subconsciously before suddenly remembering that he had heard the name Yang Kai more than ten years ago.
That’s right, back then, there had indeed been an outsider who had come to Human Emperor City and then had a conflict with the Emperor Family, but as for what exactly had happened, the Emperor Family had kept their mouths shut. Later on, that outsider had suddenly disappeared without a trace, allowing this storm to gradually subside.
So this guy was the same person from back then.
However… even the Third Prince had to address him as Sir. What was going on? Could it be that this person was on the same level as the Human Emperor?
“Since it’s Sir Yang, then it must be a misunderstanding. All of you, disperse.” The Third Prince waved his hand and the crowd dispersed as if they were facing a great enemy.
“It has been many years since we last met, but the Third Prince is still as elegant as ever,” Yang Kai smiled at him.
The Third Prince felt a great deal of pressure. Although he was the Third Prince of the Human Emperor’s Palace and the most outstanding son of the Human Emperor, and was even more qualified to inherit the position of Emperor in the future, he didn’t dare put on any airs in front of Yang Kai. After all, the Saint Tree seemed to view this person in a different light. In the past, even the Human Emperor didn’t have much of a temper in front of him, let alone a prince like him.
Forcefully squeezing out a smile, the Third Prince said, “Sir Yang has returned, are you preparing to stay in the Human Emperor City for a long time?”
He had thought that Yang Kai had been staying in the Wheel World all these years and had never left. After all, after Yang Kai and Zhu Qing left, they had gone straight to the Demonic Wrath City to search for the exit, so it was normal that he didn’t know what happened next.
Yang Kai looked at him and said, “The Third Prince doesn’t seem to welcome me.”
The Third Prince quickly replied, “How could that be? Sir Yang is Father’s honored guest, and his strength is profound. If he can stay in Human Emperor City for a long time, it will also be a good thing, so how could he not welcome him?”
Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered to argue with him and simply said, “I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint the Third Prince. I just came in from the outside and have no intention of staying in the Human Emperor City for long. I’m afraid I’ll have to leave soon.”
