The black hole continued for a full ten breaths of time before disappearing under Yang Kai’s grasp.
However, at this moment, the shock in the hearts of many Demon Kings was still boiling. Firstly, this new Great King was truly proficient in the Space Laws. With a wave of his hand, he could shatter the void and create a black hole that led to the Primal Chaos Void. Obviously, his attainments in the Space Laws were extremely profound. Secondly, this Great King was actually a human…
Now that the war between the Human and Demon Race had broken out, the Saint Venerable had actually appointed a Human Race Great king to govern the Cloud Shadow Continent?
Observing their expressions, Yang Kai sneered lightly, “Although this King is a human, I have already become enemies with the Star Boundary, and there is no place for this King in the Human Race’s territory. Moreover, the Saint Venerable has personally recruited and brought me to the Demon Territory, so you don’t need to worry.”
The reason why he had so readily revealed his origins was mainly because he couldn’t hide it. After all, if he stayed here all the time in the future, as long as he used a bit of his strength, his identity as a human would definitely be exposed. Rather than letting these fellows doubt him in the future, it would be better for him to speak openly.
Not giving these people a chance to speak, Yang Kai suddenly shouted, “Bo Ya, listen up!”
Bo Ya was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and took two steps forward, cupping her fists, “This subordinate is here.”
Yang Kai looked at her solemnly and said, “I order you to serve as the Vice Commander of Cloud Shadow City and assist Lao Ke in managing the various affairs of Cloud Shadow City.”
Bo Ya’s beautiful eyes flashed as she replied, “Yes!”
Lao Ke was the old Demon King, the leader of Cloud Shadow City before Yang Kai arrived. This city was the core of the entire continent and was extremely important. However, before this, Lao Ke was the only one in charge here, but now there was a Vice Commander, Bo Ya.
She wasn’t an idiot. Yang Kai had ordered her to become the Vice Commander of Cloud Shadow City right from the start, so it was obvious that he wanted to interfere with Cloud Shadow City’s affairs. After all, controlling this place was equivalent to controlling everything in Cloud Shadow Continent, making it easier for him to act in the future.
After all, Lao Ke and the others weren’t one of their own, so even with Yu Rumeng’s orders, it was still inconvenient for them to be separated.
Yang Kai also had no other choice. He simply didn’t have anyone he could use, and Bo Ya was his only choice. Fortunately, with the Soul Puppet restricting her, Bo Ya wouldn’t have any ill intentions towards him.
If Bo Ya could gain a foothold in Cloud Shadow City, it would be beneficial to him in the future.
As expected, this appointment made the three High-Rank Demon Kings frown. After all, Lao Ke was old and had lost his courage, so he only hesitated for a moment before remaining calm. On the other hand, the female Shadow Demon and the other High-Rank Demon King both wore worried expressions, afraid that Yang Kai would also interfere with their territory. If that was the case, they would definitely not be happy.
Fortunately, Yang Kai didn’t have such intentions and only gave Lao Ke a few more words of encouragement, instructing him to guide Bo Ya and let her familiarize herself with Cloud Shadow City as soon as possible.
Lao Ke replied respectfully, but it was unclear what he was thinking.
Since they had just arrived, Yang Kai didn’t intend to say anything more. Leaving Bo Ya behind to communicate with Lao Ke, he led Xiao Wu and Li Shiqing into the inner hall.
This place had long since prepared the best rooms for him to live in, and there were also rooms on both sides. He had arranged for Xiao Wu and Li Shiqing to live here, and had Xiao Wu ask someone to bring over a detailed map of the entire Cloud Shadow Continent as well as records of the various Demon Kings’ forces. Yang Kai then hid in his room to investigate.
Since Yu Rumeng had given him this opportunity, he naturally had to seize it.
If the World Gate could be defended, then so be it. If it really couldn’t be defended, then so be it. On the other hand, Yang Kai really wanted to have control over the Cloud Shadow Continent. At that time, whether it was protecting himself or secretly causing trouble for the Demon Race, he would need to borrow the power of this place.
After two days of research, Yang Kai had a rough understanding of the Cloud Shadow Continent.
Just as he was putting down all the miscellaneous items, there was a knock on the door.
Yang Kai raised his hand, and when the door opened, Bo Ya walked in. At this moment, this woman no longer had the same respectful attitude as before, and her attitude had become much more casual. Looking him up and down, she smiled and asked, “Should I call you Lord or Great King?”
“Up to you!” Yang Kai glanced at her and said lightly, “What’s the matter?”
Bo Ya said, “I’ll report to you some of the information I’ve gathered over the past two days. Do you want to hear it? If you don’t, I’ll leave.”
Yang Kai chuckled and glanced over at her, “It seems you don’t understand your current situation.” As he spoke, he took out the Soul Puppet from his Space Ring and flicked it!
Bo Ya couldn’t help taking a few steps back, her beautiful face turning pale as she covered her forehead with her hands and shouted, “Don’t be rash, we can talk things out.”
“I’m very calm right now. Whether or not I act rashly will depend on your performance,” Yang Kai looked at her with a faint smile.
Bo Ya couldn’t help snorting and curling her lips, “Cloud Shadow Continent’s four High-Rank Demon Kings, the three you’ve met are still alright, but you should be careful of that Lie Kuang.”
“What do you mean?” Yang Kai frowned.
Bo Ya said, “Didn’t you notice that Lie Kuang hasn’t come to see you? It’s been two days and he still isn’t here, Ke Sen and Heyin's territory was not close yet they were able to arrive two days ago, but Lie Kuang still hasn’t shown up.”
Ke Sen was the pale-faced middle-aged Demon King, while the female Shadow Demon’s name was Heyin.
These three, along with Cloud Shadow City’s Commander Lao Ke, were the four remaining High-Rank Demon Kings of Cloud Shadow Continent.
If she hadn’t mentioned it, Yang Kai wouldn’t have noticed, but now that she mentioned it, Yang Kai really felt that there was something wrong with Lie Kuang. The news that he had been conferred the title of Great King and was in charge of the Cloud Shadow Continent must have spread far and wide, so this guy Lie Kuang should have rushed over to see him. After all, he would be Lie Kuang’s direct superior in the future, but in reality, Lie Kuang had yet to show up.
On that day, Lao Ke had said that Lie Kuang had been delayed on his way here, but no matter how much he was delayed, it was impossible for him to be delayed for two days. What could have happened in the Cloud Shadow Continent to stop a High-Rank Demon King for so long?
“Is he killed?” Yang Kai raised his brow.
Bo Ya sneered, “Are you stupid?” Seeing Yang Kai raise the Soul Puppet again, the corner of her mouth twitched, “I’ve asked around, before you came here, these four High-Rank Demon Kings were all dominating their own territories, no one was able to restrain them. Now that you’ve suddenly come here and become their Great King, I’m afraid no one will be happy if they listen to your orders from now on. If you really are a Half-Saint, then so be it, but you’re only a Mid-Rank Demon King, so how can you ride on their heads?”
Yang Kai said, “That makes sense. Continue, what else did you find out?”
Bo Ya said, “Just as I said before, Lao Ke is old and weak. Although he is a High-Rank Demon King, he is nothing to be afraid of. These days, he has been cooperating with me. I have more or less grasped half of Cloud Shadow City’s strength, He Yin and Ke Sen probably want to test your strength. Although they are looking forward to you being able to protect the World Gate and protect Cloud Shadow Continent, they don’t know what your strength is, so naturally they won’t trust you too much. However, they won’t target you for the time being. Lie Kuang is the only one you need to be careful of. I heard that his strength, among the top four, just a step away from reaching the Half-Saint Realm, and he is also connected to the Blue Plains Continent. Right, his territory is where the World Gate is located.”
Yang Kai thought for a moment before replying, “A favorable position?”
The Cloud Shadow Continent only had one World Gate, which was connected to the Blue Plain Continent. Since Lie Kuang’s territory was on the other side of the World Gate, it was indeed convenient for them to communicate with the Blue Plains Continent.
Bo Ya showed a gloating expression, “So if you want to protect the World Gate, you must go to Lie Kuang’s territory, and if you don’t deal with him, how can you obtain his cooperation?”
Yang Kai stared at her fixedly, causing Bo Ya to feel uncomfortable. Frowning, she said, “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m warning you, don’t try to do anything strange to me, don’t even think about it, otherwise don’t blame me for falling out with you.” Saying so, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, putting on a defensive posture.
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “I just discovered that your ability is quite good.”
Two days ago, Yang Kai had asked Bo Ya to be the Vice-Commander of Cloud Shadow City. His original intention was to send a message to the Demon Kings—he had the final say in everything here, he didn’t expect Bo Ya to be able to help him. Who would have thought that in just two days, Bo Ya would be able to gather so much information and even control half of Cloud Shadow City’s forces?
Hearing this, Bo Ya smiled proudly, “The Feather Demon is not only good at shooting, but also good at gathering information.”
Yang Kai crossed his arms and rested his chin on his hands as he stared at her with a burning gaze, “Since that’s the case, do you know where Lie Kuang is now?”
Bo Ya didn’t say anything and simply pointed to her feet.
Yang Kai raised his brow, “In the city?”
Bo Ya nodded, “He entered the city a day ago, but now he’s in his own mansion.”
“Good!” Yang Kai’s mouth curled into a sneer as he muttered to himself, “Go, call Lao Ke and the others over.”
Bo Ya couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable and frowned, “What are you doing?”
Yang Kai stood up and turned his head to look out the window, “Someone wants to take me down a notch, so naturally I have to make an example out of them. Otherwise, I’ll be looked down upon.”
Bo Ya stared at him, “Are you crazy? If you attack Lie Kuang now, Lao Ke and the others won’t help you.”
“I didn’t expect them to help me.”
Bo Ya pointed at herself and said, “Don’t tell me you’re counting on me? This isn’t the Blood Fighting Pit, I can’t help you much. Lie Kuang isn’t alone, he brought many Demon Kings with him this time!”
If it was just Lie Kuang alone, she wouldn’t be afraid. As long as Yang Kai could stall him, with her archery skills, it would be enough to make Lie Kuang suffer, but the key point was that according to the information she had received, Lie Kuang had brought almost all of his Demon Kings into the city this time. Obviously, he had come prepared.
“It’s good to have more people,” Yang Kai glanced at her.
Bo Ya couldn’t help shivering, and just as she was about to try to persuade him again, she noticed the impatience in Yang Kai’s eyes and knew that if she spoke again, she would most likely be punished, so she immediately said, “If you insist, I’ll listen to you, but if anything happens, don’t blame me for not warning you.”
