He had also heard from his subordinate that there seemed to be some kind of trouble here, so he had rushed over to investigate. When Yang Kai left his place, he had returned to this side, so he suspected that something had happened here.
Looking at it now, it was indeed so.
Moreover, judging from the remnant auras here, it was likely that a battle between Half-Saints had just taken place. Bai Zhuo couldn’t help taking a few more glances at the Embodiment.
“Yue Sang is here!” Yang Kai looked at him solemnly.
“How is that possible?” Bai Zhuo was shocked, “Did you see wrong?”
Yang Kai gritted his teeth and said, “I’m not so stupid as to not even recognize the person who tried to kill me.”
“But shouldn’t he be in the Two Worlds…” As Bai Zhuo spoke, his brow wrinkled as if he suddenly thought of something, a look of realization appearing on his face as he nodded slightly, “If that’s the case, it’s not surprising that he’ll return.”
Yang Kai withdrew his dragon body and returned to his original appearance while coldly snorting.
Bai Zhuo couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed. After all, just over an hour ago, he had told Yang Kai that Yue Sang had stayed behind to guard the Two World Battlefield, but who would have thought that Yang Kai would encounter Yue Sang’s attack the moment he returned? Fortunately, nothing had happened, if anything had happened, he would have to bear some responsibility. He couldn’t help smiling awkwardly and asking, “Are you hurt?”
Yang Kai also knew that he couldn’t be blamed for this. The reason his expression was somewhat ugly wasn’t because of the information Bai Zhuo had provided him, but rather because this guy had arrived too quickly.
The reason Yue Sang had decisively retreated was likely because he had sensed Bai Zhuo’s aura. He also knew that once Bai Zhuo came over, he would definitely not stand on his side. The two of them had a grudge to begin with, and now that he had snuck back to the Demon Territory, how could he let Bai Zhuo off so easily? At that time, if Bai Zhuo and Yang Kai’s Embodiment joined forces, he would not be able to escape so easily.
Holding back his anger, Yang Kai muttered, “Nothing serious.”
Bai Zhuo nodded lightly, “The Saint will arrive in half a day, so let’s clean up this place first.” Although Yue Sang had already retreated, the millions of Demon Race cultivators below were still in a chaotic battle, so if no one interfered, it wouldn’t be easy to resolve this matter in a short time. If Yu Rumeng really came and saw this, no one would be able to maintain their dignity. This was already considered internal strife, and it would only make the other Demon Saints laugh at Yu Rumeng’s incompetence.
Yang Kai wanted nothing more than to kill all of the female succubus’s troops, but he also knew that since Bai Zhuo had appeared, this idea was a bit unrealistic. Moreover, his side has suffered many casualties. In just a short time, nearly a tenth of his two million strong army had died.
In any case, whether it was Yue Sang, Di Li, or that female succubus, Yang Kai had already pinned all of them on the list of enemies. As long as they continued to work for Yu Rumeng, sooner or later he would be able to find them.
Without saying a word, Yang Kai and his Embodiment charged forward, slaughtering their way through the enemy forces and completely destroying their morale, causing the enemy forces to collapse like a mountain before stopping.
After the battle, Yang Kai didn’t need to worry about anything.
Bai Zhuo followed closely behind Yang Kai, probably because he was afraid that Yue Sang would try to kill him. Not long after the battle ended, Wind Chaser came running back to Yang Kai’s side, shamelessly asking for credit.
Yang Kai beat it up and scolded, “Did I tell you to chase after her? Who told you to chase after her? Why don’t you change your name to People Chaser instead!” If this guy hadn’t been lured away by the Succubus, he really might have been able to capture Yue Sang today.
Wind Chaser's face was filled with grievance, not knowing what was happening.
Bai Zhuo, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help feeling a chill run down his spine. He had long heard of Wind Chaser's great name. As the mount of the Hundred Spirit Continent’s master, this fellow’s temper had never been calm, and his strength was also terrifying. Seeing Yang Kai beat and curse him, he was really afraid that Wind Chaser would kill Yang Kai in a fit of anger…
What surprised him even more was that Wind Chaser actually didn’t fight back and instead only snorted at him from time to time to express his grievances… After being beaten up, he lowered his head and crawled over to the side, looking very hurt.
Bai Zhuo clicked his tongue in wonder.
Both Bo Ya and Li Shiqing had already woken up, and the latter was fine. Seeing Yang Kai safe and sound, she even smiled at him, causing Yang Kai’s heart to warm up. Both of them were from the Star Boundary, so they had a natural sense of intimacy. If it weren’t for the need to disguise himself, Yang Kai’s attitude towards her wouldn’t have been so bad, but now that they were in the Demon Territory, he had to be careful.
The former's face was pale, but after taking the pill, her injuries had also improved and there were no side effects.
Yang Kai gave them a few words of encouragement and ordered Xiao Wu to take good care of them before turning to look into the distance with Bai Zhuo.
Compared to the battle between the Great Emperors and the Demon Saints, the previous conflict here could only be described as a small skirmish. The buzzing sound in the sky did not stop for a moment, and from time to time, a ball of light would erupt from a distant place, causing the world to dim and the void to tremble.
No matter who it was, as long as their strength reached a certain level, they would be able to feel that the laws of this world were beginning to shatter.
This was the power of the Great Emperor and Demon Saint. Each and every one of their actions could truly affect the survival of a continent.
“Most of the Half Saints have returned to the Demon Territory, what about the Two World Battlefield?” Yang Kai suddenly asked.
Bai Zhuo shrugged his shoulders and said, “Retreating slightly, apart from this, what else can be done?”
Yang Kai turned to look at him and chuckled, “Are the Saint Venerable planning to use their numbers to kill a Great Emperor?”
Since they had summoned most of the Half Saints and gathered them in the Eternal Heaven Continent, it could only mean that these Half Saints would have to face Bright Moon in the end. One or two Half Saints might not be of much use to Bright Moon, but as long as there were enough of them, they would be able to kill an elephant.
Bai Zhuo frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, “Although you can put it that way, things aren’t as simple as you think. The Saint Venerable still have far-reaching plans, and to all Half-Saints, this is a life and death gamble and a great opportunity.”
“Oh?” Yang Kai raised his brow, “Please explain!”
Bai Zhuo smiled bitterly and shook his head, “You should ask the Saint Venerable about this matter. If she is willing to tell you, she will explain it to you. If she is unwilling, I can’t interfere.”
Yang Kai’s eyes flashed, but seeing this, he didn’t ask any more questions. Since Bai Zhuo had already made his stance clear, there was no point in asking any more questions.
He could understand the life and death gamble, a Half-Saint facing a Great Emperor was naturally a huge gamble! Perhaps he would be killed in a single exchange, but what kind of great opportunity was this? Could it be that killing Bright Moon would give him some kind of benefit? The information Bai Zhuo revealed made it impossible for him to ignore it.
Before the battlefield had been cleaned up, a terrifying aura was already approaching from the distance.
Wind Chaser, who had been crawling on the ground all this time, immediately stood up and vigilantly looked over, obviously feeling the pressure, but soon, he climbed back down.
Yang Kai and Bai Zhuo also looked up, and the latter’s expression immediately changed, “The Saint has arrived.”
Needless to say, Yang Kai also felt Yu Rumeng’s aura.
Sure enough, a moment later, Yu Rumeng’s figure appeared in front of them.
“Greetings, Saint Venerable!” Bai Zhuo quickly cupped his fists as the army behind him fell to their knees.
Yu Rumeng nodded slightly as she swept her eyes over her surroundings, frowning slightly, “What happened?”
This mountain valley was filled with blood energy and broken limbs. It was obvious that a great battle had taken place here, and even Yang Kai’s face was somewhat pale, as if he had suffered some kind of injury.
This scene caused Yu Rumeng to jump in fright, thinking that the shockwaves from Bright Moon's battle with the other side had arrived.
Bai Zhuo turned his head to look at Yang Kai, but seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he could only sigh in his heart and step forward to explain the information he had obtained from Yang Kai.
Hearing that Yue Sang had actually returned from the Two World Battlefield and even attacked Yang Kai here, Yu Rumeng’s face went pale as she grit her teeth and shouted, “Impudence!” Turning to Bai Zhuo, she shouted, “Call Yue Sang to see this Queen!”
Not only did he not receive any orders to return from the Two World Battlefield, but he even dared to attack Yang Kai here. How could Yu Rumeng allow him to do so? Not to mention the restrictions of the Heart Seal Secret Technique between her and Yang Kai, Yang Kai himself was the key to the stability of the entire Demon Territory. Without him, who would protect those unstable World Gates? Who would repair those World Gates that had disappeared? Whether it was for public or private reasons, Yu Rumeng had to give Yang Kai a reasonable explanation.
After Bai Zhuo received the order, he immediately walked to the side and took out an item, probably trying to contact Yue Sang.
Yu Rumeng turned to look at Yang Kai again, her expression becoming gentle, “Are you alright? Is what Bai Zhuo said true?”
Yang Kai shook his head, “It’s nothing, it’s just that Brother Bai Zhuo only knows a part of it.”
Yu Rumeng replied, “What else does he not understand?”
Yang Kai sneered lightly, “With Wind Chaser protecting me, Yue Sang alone wouldn’t be able to do anything to me, but he obviously knows this, so someone helped him lure Wind Chaser away.”
“Who is it!?” Yu Rumeng’s pretty face sank. The only one who could draw away Wind Chaser was undoubtedly a Half-Saint. She had never imagined that her subordinates would be so ignorant as to cause trouble for her at such a critical moment.
“I don’t know, a female Succubus,” Yang Kai replied.
Although he didn’t know her, Yu Rumeng only had a few Half-Saints under her command, and with her Succubus background, it should be easy to find out her identity.
“Other than that, Di Li must have also contributed a bit.”
“There’s also Di Li?” Yu Rumeng couldn’t help frowning, but after thinking about how Di Li’s relationship with Yue Sang had always been quite good, she understood.
When she had conferred Yang Kai the title of Great King to guard the Cloud Shadow Continent, many of her Half-Saint subordinates had disagreed. After all, in the Demon Territory, only a Half-Saint had the qualifications to govern a continent, so how could a newly arrived human brat be on equal footing with them?
