Moreover, now that he was holding onto Bei Limo’s Demon Heart, he could seriously injure her at any time, so there was nothing to fear. In any case, in the Soul Battlefield, no matter who won in the end, her Soul had to return to this body.
“I’m just worried that time won’t wait for us,” The Embodiment’s expression became solemn, “Xue Li and Yu Rumeng have already arrived at Cloud Shadow.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai frowned.
As the master of this continent, since the Embodiment said so, it must have sensed something. Yu Rumeng’s arrival was not a big deal, but it was actually a good thing. However, Xue Li gave Yang Kai a headache.
“Do we need to lure Yu Rumeng here?” The Embodiment asked.
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before slowly shaking his head, “No need, don’t let her know about this matter for now.”
Although Yu Rumeng had been very protective of him back in the Eternal Heaven Continent, Yang Kai still couldn’t completely trust her. Before the situation here became clear, attracting her here would only add more variables, her relationship with Bei Li Mo had never been good, so if she really saw Bei Limo’s current situation, she might take the opportunity to kill her.
It could even be said that even if this matter was successful, Yang Kai didn’t plan on telling Yu Rumeng about it, so he had to take precautions. Who knew when it could save his life.
However, now that the two Demon Saints had arrived at Cloud Shadow, it was only a matter of time before they found their way here. Right now, it depends on how long his Embodiment could conceal their auras.
“How long can you delay them?” Yang Kai asked.
The Embodiment shook his head, “I can’t delay them, it’s just that they’re currently searching the Cloud Shadow and will arrive here within an hour.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s face sank, “I'm afraid it's to late to move now.” There was still Bei Limo’s aura here, so even if they tried to move, it would be useless. Right now, he could only hope that the battle between Xuan Bing and Bei Limo would end in an hour.
The two of them remained silent for a while, only the Demon Heart in Yang Kai’s hand continued to beat.
In less than an hour, after the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Yang Kai suddenly noticed that Bei Limo’s body had regained some of her Soul’s power. Immediately after, Bei Limo’s pair of hollow eyes became nimble, as if she felt pain, and she couldn’t help letting out a muffled groan.
As her vision focused, she saw Yang Kai standing in front of her with a vigilant look on his face. A hand had already pierced into her chest and her heart was gripped tightly, making it impossible for her to breathe.
“Bei Limo?” Yang Kai raised his brow. Everyone’s Soul auras were different, so Yang Kai was naturally able to identify who this newly awakened Soul belonged to.
However, what made him feel slightly relieved was that the feeling he felt from Xuan Bing's Soul did not disappear. It seemed like it was as Xuan Bing had said, the Soul Brand had been transferred to Bei Limo.
“Yes!” Bei Limo grit her teeth and glared at Yang Kai with a fiery gaze.
“Does that mean Xuan Bing is dead?” Yang Kai let out a sigh of relief, not too surprised. Before, even Xuan Bing had not had much confidence in being able to devour and possess Bei Limo's body, so such an outcome was within his expectations.
“Are you very disappointed?” Bei Limo sneered.
“I can’t say I’m disappointed,” Yang Kai shook his head lightly, “To me, it doesn’t matter who lives or dies. In any case, none of you are good people.”
Bei Limo took a deep breath, her full chest heaving up and down, causing the wound on her chest to contract. Her brow couldn’t help furrowing slightly as she looked down at Yang Kai’s hand and asked, “Can you withdraw your hand now? Don’t you think it’s rude to treat a woman like this?”
“You’re a Demon Saint, you’re no ordinary woman!” Yang Kai snorted lightly, but he didn’t insist. Instead, just as she said, he slowly released the Demon Heart and pulled back his dragon claw.
Blood splattered as Bei Limo let out a muffled groan, her face turning pale.
Before she could catch her breath, Yang Kai’s Divine Sense moved.
Bei Limo immediately hugged her head and wailed, raising her eyes and glaring at Yang Kai, “What are you doing!”
Yang Kai said lightly, “Let’s see how powerful that Soul Brand is!”
“Stop! Do you want to kill me?” Bei Limo screamed as she squatted down, her body trembling.
Yang Kai looked down at her from above, his expression cold and ruthless, “Stop putting on an act in front of me. I know that even if I have a Soul Brand, I won’t be able to kill you, but that doesn’t stop me from bringing you pain. Remember this feeling, if one day you dare have any thoughts of harming me, this feeling will accompany you until you die!”
It was true that the Soul Brand could not control Bei Limo’s life or death, but it could restrain her movements. If Bei Limo were to be attacked by Yang Kai with this in a life or death battle, she would definitely die on the spot.
It was obvious that Bei Limo was feeling extremely uncomfortable as she let out a miserable cry, her body releasing an uncontrollable killing intent, but because she was afraid, she didn’t dare act.
Yang Kai had been pushing the power of the Soul Brand to its maximum, but he hadn’t been able to take Bei Limo’s life, only making her scream even more miserably.
After a while, Yang Kai stopped. He had already tested how effective this Soul Brand was, and although it was somewhat different from what Xuan Bing had said before, it was still acceptable.
Bei Limo was lying on the ground like a pile of mud, gasping for breath, her entire body drenched in sweat, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at the sky, unable to focus for a long time, like a fish on the verge of death.
As the wind blew, a cold chill spread throughout Bei Limo’s body, causing her to shiver involuntarily before she regained her senses.
Looking up, Yang Kai was standing in front of her, looking down at her. She turned her head and clenched her fists, her eyes slightly moist…
Ever since he became a Demon Saint, she had never suffered such great humiliation! That slut Xuan Bing was actually willing to sacrifice her life for this.
“Open your Knowledge Sea, I need to strengthen my Soul brand!” Yang Kai ordered.
Bei Limo remained motionless, as if she was deaf.
Yang Kai laughed angrily, “Don’t act like you’re being humiliated by me. Don’t you know you’re still very attractive? If you provoke my Beast Heart…”
Without waiting for Yang Kai to finish speaking, Bei Limo staggered to her feet and bit her red lips, filled with grief and indignation.
“I won’t repeat the same words twice!” Yang Kai said coldly.
Bei Limo closed her eyes, afraid that if she continued to stare at Yang Kai, she wouldn’t be able to restrain herself from attacking.
“Good!” Yang Kai grinned and sent his Divine Sense into Bei Limo’s Knowledge Sea.
“I’m warning you, if you want to strengthen your brand, then strengthen it. If you dare pry into my secrets, this Queen will fight you to the death!” Bei Limo suddenly opened her eyes.
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment before nodding, “Don’t worry, I don’t have the habit of prying into other people’s privacy.” Saying so, he began to act.
Bei Limo had always been vigilant, but after realizing that Yang Kai really didn’t make any unnecessary movements, she relaxed.
Because the brand in Bei Limo’s Knowledge Sea had been transferred through Xuan Bing, it was unavoidable that it would loosen slightly, and this strengthening had also ensured the firmness of the brand.
After doing all this, Yang Kai said, “I need a Soul Mark from you, I’m sure the Saint Venerable can satisfy this request.”
“What if did not satisfy this request?” Bei Limo asked with an ugly expression.
“It doesn’t matter,” Yang Kai smiled, “Rumeng is in Cloud Shadow Continent, I can lead her here, I’m sure she’ll be happy to have a good talk with you.”
Bei Limo’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this.
Being branded by Yang Kai’s Soul Brand in her Knowledge Sea wasn’t a dead end. After all, she only needed to spend some time and pay a certain price to remove the Soul Brand, allowing her to regain her freedom.
However, if Yu Rumeng knew about this matter, it would be over. With his relationship with Yu Rumeng, Bei Li Mo estimated that she would be more than willing to place another Soul Brand on her Knowledge Sea for him.
Among the twelve Demon Saints, because Yu Rumeng was a Succubus, her Soul cultivation was the strongest. Even Huang Wuji had to admit that if he were to be branded by her, he would never be able to regain his freedom and would become a chess piece in her hands.
Bei Limo had no choice but to take this threat seriously, her hatred for Xuan Bing rising to the extreme. If it weren’t for that slut revealing so much information, how could Yang Kai be so cautious?
Staring hatefully at Yang Kai for a long time, Bei Limo suddenly smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if I give you my Soul Mark. In any case, even if you destroy that Soul Mark, I’ll only be slightly injured, I won’t really die.”
Even a wisp of her soul had been destroyed by Ming Yue, but she had only been injured and wouldn’t die. How could a Soul Mark affect her life?
“I know,” Yang Kai smiled lightly, “But it’s better than nothing.”
It was true that he couldn’t rely on his Soul Brand and Soul Mark to control the life and death of a Demon Saint, but with these two pieces of insurance, he could ensure that Bei Limo wouldn’t dare play any tricks in front of him.
Seeing him insist, Bei Limo was also filled with helplessness. In the end, she simply nodded and said, “Fine, as you wish, but you must promise to treat me well, otherwise this Queen will not comply.”
Yang Kai said, “If you think my guarantee is useful, then what’s wrong with me giving you a guarantee?”
Bei Limo couldn’t help curling her lips.
A moment later, Yang Kai took Bei Limo’s Soul Mark and placed it on the Seven Colored Treasure Island. Only then did he relax and turn to Bei Limo, “It’s best if you don’t try to break that Soul Brand. I’ll check it every once in a while. If I find you disobedient, I’ll make you beg for death.”
“Got it!” Bei Limo replied reluctantly.
“Also…” Yang Kai stroked his chin and muttered, “You and I must not let anyone know about this.”
Hearing this, Bei Limo blinked her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering a few times, “Are you not going to tell Yu Rumeng?”
“That’s my business, you don’t need to worry about it.”
Bei Limo couldn’t help rolling her eyes as she covered her mouth and giggled, “Strange, didn’t you have the Heart Seal Secret Technique to restrain her? Why are you still so wary of her?”
