Bai Zhuo smiled and said, “Saint Venerable Huang Wuji has spoken, so the other Saint Venerable naturally won’t make things difficult for you, but it’s not necessarily the case for those Half-Saint masters.”
Yang Kai was surprised, “Even the Saint Venerable have scruples, so how could those Half-Saints act so recklessly?”
Bai Zhuo slowly shook his head and sighed lightly, “Brother Yang, you should know that this opportunity on your body was originally prepared for the half-Saints of the Demon Territory, but in the end, due to a freak combination of factors, it landed on you. If you really were a member of the Demon Race, it would have been fine, but Brother Yang also knows what kind of situation you are in right now. It’s inevitable that some people will use your background as an excuse to bargain.”
“I understand Brother Bai Zhuo’s meaning. In this Demon Territory, the Demon Saints won’t do anything to me because of their status and face, but those Half-Saints won’t give up, right?”
Bai Zhuo said, “Since ancient times, wealth has always been eye-catching and opportunities have always been tempting. Not to mention, this opportunity is a path to the Heavens for us Half-Saints. If it weren’t for Brother Yang and me knowing each other long ago and working under the same Saint Venerable, I would also be tempted.”
Yang Kai nodded lightly.
Bai Zhuo lowered his voice and said, “This is the result of the negotiations between the Saint Venerable and the other Saint Venerable, so the other Saint Venerables can’t find any fault with it. If you don’t have the ability to protect your own opportunities, you might as well hand them over as soon as possible.” Pausing for a moment, Bai Zhuo continued, “The Saint Venerable told me to tell Brother Yang that since you’ve obtained your own opportunities, it’s best for you to remain in the Holy City and cultivate in peace. When your cultivation reaches the big accomplishment one day, no one in the Demon Territory will be able to do anything to you.”
Yang Kai looked at him and asked, “Is this the words of the Saint Venerable?”
Bai Zhuo said seriously, “That's how it is.” But soon after, he wore a strange expression and asked, “Brother Yang, if i may ask, did you offend the Saint Venerable?”
Bai Zhuo felt that this time, the Saint Venerable's attitude towards Yang Kai was a bit subtle, but there was also a hint of… pride in her concern! That’s right, it was pride. Bai Zhuo would never forget that kind of expression for the rest of his life. After following her for so many years, he had never seen Yu Rumeng show such an expression. It was the look of a young girl who had just fallen in love. When Bai Zhuo saw it, he was shocked.
If it was anyone else who showed such an expression, it would have been fine, but who was Yu Rumeng? She was one of the Demon Territory's Twelve Demon Saints, an existence who stood at the pinnacle of existence, yet she actually showed such an expression.
Yang Kai grinned but didn’t answer, instead asking, “Since the Saint sent you here to deliver a message, does that mean she don’t want to see me?”
Bai Zhuo coughed lightly and said ambiguously, “I don’t know about that, but the Saint Venerable thinks very highly of Brother Yang.”
“I understand,” Yang Kai nodded slightly.
“Brother Yang, you mean…” Bai Zhuo looked at him inquiringly.
Yang Kai picked up the wine pot in front of him and poured it into his mouth. A moment later, he placed it heavily on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth, “Time does not wait for me, I cannot stay in the Holy City!”
Bai Zhuo sighed again and smacked his lips, “The Saint Venerable said that if Brother Yang wants to leave, you can leave at any time, there’s no need to greet her.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai nodded and said, “Good! Women are always busy, if we really meet, it will be troublesome.”
Bai Zhuo looked down at his shoes and pretended not to hear anything…
“By the way, Brother Bai Zhuo,” Yang Kai suddenly looked at him with a burning gaze, “If there really is a Half-Saint looking for trouble with me, may I kill him?”
Hearing this, Bai Zhuo was startled and raised his head, only to see Yang Kai’s eyes filled with killing intent. He couldn’t help asking, “Who does Brother Yang want to kill?”
“I’ll kill whoever dares to make trouble for me!”
If an ordinary High-Rank Demon King were to speak so arrogantly, Bai Zhuo would probably just laugh and think that the person who said this was a fool. The difference between a Demon King and a Half-Saint was like the difference between an elephant and an ant. If an ant wanted to bite an elephant to death, how could it not laugh?
However, the one who said this was Yang Kai, so Bai Zhuo had no choice but to take him seriously. This man in front of him was no ordinary High-Rank Demon King.
After pondering for a moment, Bai Zhuo said, “No one is willing to stretch out their neck for others to chop. If someone really wants to harm Brother Yang, Brother Yang can naturally return blood with blood, this is Brother Yang’s freedom.”
“Good!” Yang Kai stood up and cupped his fists, “Many thanks for Brother Bai Zhuo’s hospitality, we’ll meet again.”
Saying so, he strode out.
After leaving the restaurant, Yang Kai turned his head to look in the direction of the palace and vaguely felt a pair of eyes staring at him, but he couldn’t tell where they were. Yang Kai grinned and waved his hand towards the direction of the palace before flying off into the clouds.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, inside the palace, Bai Zhuo reported the meeting he had with Yang Kai.
Hearing this, Yu Rumeng’s brow twitched, “He left just like that? Didn’t he say anything?”
Bai Zhuo’s eyes drooped as he slowly shook his head, “He didn’t leave any words behind.” Then, he seemed to hear the sound of grinding teeth and couldn’t help feeling a chill run down his spine…
Pondering for a moment, Bai Zhuo said, “Brother Yang now possesses a great fortuitous encounter, but his strength is not very strong. If he were to leave now, it would be no different from a child carrying gold through a bustling city. I’m afraid it would attract countless people to covet him. Should this subordinate bring him back?”
“What’s the point of chasing him!” Yu Rumeng’s face was ashen as she grit her teeth and waved her sleeves, “Let him die outside!”
Bai Zhuo lowered his head even further, cursing Yang Kai in his heart. This guy had just left, leaving him here to suffer the wrath of the Saint Venerable.
Bai Zhuo instinctively felt that staying in the Holy City for the time being wouldn’t be a good thing, so he didn’t care about his injuries and cupped his fists, “Saint Venerable, this subordinate has been back for some time now. The Two World Battlefield is without a leader, so please allow this subordinate to return to the front lines and take charge.”
Hearing this, Yu Rumeng’s expression relaxed slightly and she asked with concern, “How are your injuries?”
Bai Zhuo replied, “It’s not a big deal, I just need to rest for a few days before I can fully recover. Many thanks for Saint’s concern.”
Yu Rumeng nodded, “Since you have such intentions, this Queen will grant you your wish. Take this thing, it can help you heal your injuries.” As she spoke, a jade box flew towards Bai Zhuo.
Bai Zhuo knew that there must be some kind of healing treasure inside, so he quickly accepted the gift. Just as he was about to leave, Yu Rumeng suddenly said, “Going to the Two World Battlefield this time, you should focus on defense and not engage in any more light battles.”
Hearing this, Bai Zhuo was stunned, not knowing why Yu Rumeng would give such an order. It should be known that the armies under the Twelve Demon Saints were currently divided into twelve groups, each with their own respective duties. The territories that the various armies had conquered all belonged to them, which was equivalent to them seizing the Star Boundary’s territory in advance for the twelve Demon Saints. In the future, when they unified the Star Boundary, the number of territories the Demon Saints would occupy would also depend on the number of territories they seized during the war. Once Yu Rumeng gave this order, it would be equivalent to giving up on seizing this advantage in advance, and even if she were to really conquer the Star Boundary in the future, she probably wouldn’t have much territory left.
Without a territory, she would not be able to settle the citizens of her various continents, and if she couldn’t settle those citizens, she would definitely cause a huge mess…
Bai Zhuo couldn’t understand what was going on. If it was any other time, he would have asked carefully, but now that the Saint Venerable was in a fit of anger, how could Bai Zhuo dare to speak? He could only obediently obey and leave.
After Bai Zhuo left, Yu Rumeng’s tender body suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful force, sweeping across the entire hall and turning everything inside into dust. Gritting her teeth, she shouted, “Bastard!”
The guards and maids in the hall all trembled in fear as they prostrated themselves on the ground.
…
The Flying Cloud Continent’s scenery was beautiful, with rolling mountains, countless rivers, and an abundance of World Energy. It was one of Yu Rumeng’s territories, and under the leadership of a Half-Saint, the overall strength of this continent was not weak.
However, there was an obvious difference between the local customs of this continent and most other continents, and that was that women were superior to men.
Unless a male Demon Race’s strength reached a certain level, their status on this continent was inferior to that of a female Demon Race. In this lower-class Demon Race group, it was extremely obvious that in every village, tribe, and even city, the ones who held important positions were generally female Demon Race. Even under the same cultivation, the male Demon Race was slightly weaker than the female Demon Race.
The reason for this was because the Half-Saint ruling this continent was a female Demon Race, a female Succubus from the same race as Yu Rumeng!
Among the Demon Territory’s Races, every race had their own specialties and characteristics. The specialty of the Succubus Race was that their Soul Cultivation was slightly higher than the other Demon Race’s, and their special trait was that they had a lot of female, especially female Succubus. Every female Succubus was a natural born stunner. Among the Demon Territory’s Demon Race with a little bit of strength and status, which family didn’t have a few female Succubus who were willing to provide entertainment for others? The female Succubus’s room skills and ability to charm others were famous throughout the entire Demon Territory.
On this point, Yang Kai had thoroughly enjoyed Yu Rumeng’s performance. Even though it was just the first time, Yu Rumeng’s performance in her room skills had made Yang Kai forget about everything, almost comparable to Shan Qingluo. This was only the first time. If it had been a while, even Shan Qingluo would have admitted defeat.
Although the Half-Saint Yin Si, who was the ruler of Flying Cloud Continent, was a Succubus, because of her extraordinary cultivation and status, no one had the qualifications to make her sell pleasure. On the other hand, she had raised three thousand masters in her Flying Cloud Palace, and this number was increasing every year. When new masters entered Flying Cloud Palace, the old masters would naturally be sent out, but no matter which race or cultivation they were from, as long as they stayed in Flying Cloud Palace for more than three years, they would generally not live long.
The Succubus Race’s bed technique were exquisite, and the Gathering Yang to Supplement Yin technique was their specialty. Which Demon Race could supplement a Half Saint?
Every year at a certain time, the Flying Clouds Continent would be busy for a while, and the Demon Kings in charge of various places would try their best to select the most strong looking demons from their own territories and send them to Flying Clouds Palace for Yin Si to enjoy.
