“Haha…” Yang Kai let out a dry laugh, “Waht abilities does this kid have, how could he…”
Before he could finish speaking, Mo Huang interjected, “I also feel that it’s a bit unreasonable to let you handle this matter, but Old Chu said that this matter must be handled by you.”
“Why is that?” Yang Kai frowned and looked at Chu Tianji curiously.
Chu Tianji slowly said, “A few days ago, this old master’s heart suddenly began to palpitate, as if something big was about to happen. I immediately made a divination and received a prophecy. Does Little Friend Yang know what that prophecy is?”
Yang Kai said in his heart, 'How would I know? If I knew that I will be the Tian Shu Great Emperor, how could it have anything to do with you?' He immediately shook his head and showed a curious look.
Chu Tianji turned his head to the side and said unhurriedly, “When the moon falls, the birds cry, there is a chance of survival.”
Yang Kai thought about it for a long time but couldn’t figure out what this prophecy had to do with him, so he humbly asked, “I understand that the moon has fallen and the birds cry, but what does this slim chance of survival have to do with me? Why can’t I be the one to decide?”
Chu Tianji stretched out his hand and pointed, “Look over there, did you see anything?”
Yang Kai followed his gaze and immediately saw a thick Yang Tree with dense branches.
Chu Tianji continued, “On that day, this old master was grinding a jade stick here, and the divination item corresponded to the Yang Tree over there. Take a look, where is that Yang Tree?”
Yang Kai looked around and asked hesitantly, “North?”
Chu Tianji nodded and said, “When the moon falls, the birds cry, the only chance of survival lies in the Northern Yang! Does little friend understand?”
Yang Kai suddenly understood. Northen Yang, Northen Yang, surnamed Yang, who else could it be other than him? But was such a thing reliable? He didn’t doubt the strength of Tian Shu Great Emperor, since he had the title of Tian Shu and was able to see through the past and the future, he naturally had his own ability. However, what kind of place was the Demon Territory? Several Great Emperors had joined forces to enter it but one was trapped in it, so what could he, a mere Second-Order Emperor Realm, accomplish? Not to mention rescuing the Bright Moon Emperor.
Yang Kai immediately fell into a state of hesitation. To be honest, although he was a little curious about what the Demon Territory was like, he had never thought about going to the Demon Territory. In front of the two Great Emperors, he couldn’t directly refuse, so he could only say, “Seniors, even if this little one wants to, I’m afraid I can’t do anything about it. Not to mention that this little one doesn’t know anything about the Demon Territory’s situation, I don’t even know where Senior Bright Moon is. Just how to safely enter the Demon Territory alone is a big problem. Although the World Entrance is open, this little one can’t just barge in so brazenly. If i really go in like this, i'll be torn apart by the Demon Territory, but other than that channel, where else can we enter the Demon Territory?”
“You have your ways!” Chu Tianji smiled at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai’s mouth twitched as he asked, “What can I do?”
Chu Tianji slowly shook his head, “Although this old master isn’t too sure, this old master knows that you can enter the Demon Territory, and that you will encounter a calamity in the Demon Territory. Once you overcome this calamity, you will be able to soar into the sky.”
Yang Kai stared at him, “What calamity?”
Chu Tianji smiled without saying anything.
On the other hand, Mo Huang was somewhat shocked, “Boy, do you really have a way to enter the Demon Territory?”
Yang Kai smiled bitterly, “I don’t have a way unless all the Great Emperors work together to escort me inside, but if I do that, wouldn’t the Demon Territory know? At that time, even if this little brat enters the Demon Territory, he won’t be able to obtain any peace, perhaps he’ll be killed there.” With a solemn expression, he cupped his hands and said, “This little brat really can’t do anything about it, please don’t make things difficult for this little brat.”
He really didn’t want to go to any Demon Territory. Even if Tian Shu Great Emperor had said that Bright Moon Great Emperor’s chance of survival was tied to him, that was just a prophecy. Whether it was true or not was another matter altogether. Even if it was true, what could he do if even Bright Moon Great Emperor couldn’t solve it?
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed someone walking into the pavilion from the corner of his eye.
Yang Kai turned around and asked in surprise, “Junior Sister Lan?”
The newcomer was none other than Lan Xun. It was unknown when she had arrived at Heaven’s Mystery Valley, but after not seeing her for such a long time, Lan Xun had obviously become much more haggard and her eyes were slightly red, as if she had been crying.
It wasn’t hard to understand, after being trapped in the Demon Territory for so long, there had been no news of Bright Moon Great Emperor. As his daughter, she was naturally extremely worried.
Without saying a word, Lan Xun walked up to Yang Kai and, under his stunned gaze, knelt down and kowtowed, “Senior Brother Yang, please save my father!”
Yang Kai was shocked and quickly stood up from his chair, grabbing her arm, “Junior Sister Lan, what are you doing? Quickly get up.”
Lan Xun didn’t move and simply said, “Senior Brother Yang, please save my father.”
“Get up first,” Yang Kai said anxiously. Ever since he had first met Lan Xun in the Four Seasons Land, they had been friends for many years. When his strength was weak, he had been taken care of by Lan Xun many times. As the daughter of a Great Emperor and the princess of Star Soul Palace, Lan Xun had never shown any arrogance, instead treating everyone gently and politely.
Yang Kai’s impression of Lan Xun was quite good, many times better than Yao Lin.
Now that this friend of his was kneeling in front of him, how could Yang Kai not feel ashamed? If he were to kneel, he was afraid he wouldn’t even be able to remain a friend.
After pulling her several times, Lan Xun still didn’t get up, causing Yang Kai to become angry and directly pull her up. Just as he was about to say something to her, he saw the woman in front of him tear up, her beautiful eyes looking at him pleadingly, he swallowed the words he was about to say and smiled bitterly, “Junior Sister, why bother like this?”
Lan Xun painfully shook her head, “I don’t have any other choice.” Pausing for a moment, she continued, “I know it’s a bit difficult, and I also know that the Demon Territory is extremely dangerous, but Uncle Chu said that only Senior Brother Yang can save Father, so Junior Sister can only shamelessly ask. If Senior Brother agrees, Junior Sister is willing to become your slave to repay Senior Brother’s kindness.”
Yang Kai’s head hurt as he said, “Junior Sister Lan is too serious.” Since she had spoken such words, it could be seen that Lan Xun had already regarded Yang Kai as her only hope.
After saying so much, Yang Kai’s refusal became somewhat unreasonable. If it was anyone else, he would have let it go, but Lan Xun had taken care of him many times over the years, he wasn’t someone who was ungrateful.
After hesitating for a long time, Yang Kai sighed, “Junior Sister Lan, please calm down. This matter is of great importance, how about you let me consider it for a moment?”
Lan Xun nodded and said, “Of course, if Senior Brother wishes to refuse, please speak frankly. This time, Junior Sister was too rude.” When she said this, she wore a conflicted look on her face, obviously not wanting Yang Kai to take risks, but since this matter concerned her father and Chu Tianji said Yang Kai was her only hope, she could only try her best.
In the pavilion, Yang Kai was silent for a moment as he stared at the Yang Tree, lost in thought.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh and turned around.
The three people in the pavilion all looked towards him, and Lan Xun’s expression became even more uneasy. She hoped that Yang Kai would agree, but she also didn’t want him to risk himself.
Yang Kai grinned, “Junior Sister, I agree to this. Demon Territory… I’ll go!”
Chu Tianji and Mo Huang glanced at each other, a look of understanding appearing on their faces. They had long known that this little brat wouldn’t agree so readily, but fortunately they had managed to find Lan Xun.
“Many thanks, Senior Brother,” Lan Xun lowered her head and whispered, “But the future of this trip to the Demon Territory is uncertain. Whether or not you can save Father, Junior Sister hopes that Senior Brother can return safely.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Rest assured, I will definitely bring back Senior Bright Moon unharmed.”
Lan Xun said, “I’ll wait for you!” Saying so, she turned around and left.
Yang Kai scratched his head. These words seemed a bit… unusual.
A moment later, Yang Kai glanced around and asked gloomily, “Are you satisfied now?”
Mo Huang asked in surprise, “You can tell?”
Yang Kai snorted, “Junior Sister Lan Xun doesn’t have any reason to appear here, it’s obvious that the two of you have already made arrangements. Knowing that Junior Sister has shown me some kindness, if she were to speak up, I definitely wouldn’t be able to refuse.”
Chu Tianji chuckled, “I had no choice but to do so, little friend, please forgive me.”
Yang Kai shook his head, “Senior Tian Shu is being too serious. This little brat also knows that Senior Bright Moon’s safety is of great importance. If we can really rescue him from the Demon Territory, it will definitely be of great help to the Star Boundary’s situation. It’s just that this little brat is afraid of being entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, so he declined.”
Mo Huang nodded, “It’s best if you think that way. But then again, how are you going to enter the Demon Territory? After entering the Demon Territory, how can you guarantee that you won’t be corroded by Demonic Qi and become a Demon?”
Although Yang Kai had been fighting with the Demon Race for the past few days, the Demon Territory was still the territory of the Demon Race and was filled with Demonic Qi. Yang Kai was not a Great Emperor, so how could he guarantee that he would not become a Demon?
Yang Kai said, “There’s no need for Sir to worry about these matters, this little brat has his own ways to resolve them.”
Everyone had their own secrets, so Mo Huang naturally didn’t ask any questions. Nodding, he asked, “Is there anything you need our help with? If there is, feel free to ask.”
Yang Kai said, “If I leave now, I’m afraid I won’t be able to return anytime soon. I only hope that Sirs can take good care of my High Heaven Palace and Tiger Roar City’s people.”
Mo Huang responded, “You don’t need to worry about that. Although this king cannot guarantee that there will be no casualties, this king can guarantee that they will not suffer any serious injuries.”
“Good.”
Chu Tianji said, “Do you have any other requests? As long as you have any, we can satisfy you.”
Yang Kai thought about it for a moment before saying, “I would like to ask the two of you to deliver something to Senior Iron Blood.”
Mo Huang raised his brow, not knowing what Yang Kai wanted to hand over to Zhan Wuhen.
Just as he was wondering, Yang Kai took out a jade slip and poured his Divine Sense into it.
A moment later, he handed the jade slip to Mo Huang.
“Just this?” Mo Huang asked curiously.
“That’s right,” Yang Kai nodded, “If I want to safely enter the Demon Territory, I will need Senior Iron Blood’s help.”
Mo Huang was even more puzzled, “How can he help?”
Yang Kai grinned at him but didn’t answer.
Mo Huang angrily said, “Why are you guys acting so mysteriously?”
Yang Kai picked up the cup of tea in front of him and drank it in one gulp before standing up and saying, “This little brat will take his leave first. The next time we meet, I hope I can fight side by side with all of you!”
