However, it had to be said that this Great King Yang was quite amazing. It was said that he was only a High-Rank Demon King, yet he was able to kill a Half-Saint. This was simply incredible. When he first heard this news, he couldn’t believe it, and even personally went to Flying Clouds Continent to inquire about it before returning to report it.
To be able to kill a Half-Saint with the strength of a High-Rank Demon King, in the entire Demon Territory, not to mention no one in the future, it was absolutely unprecedented. Even the Saint Venerables had not achieved such a feat in the past. From a certain point of view, he admired Great King Yang’s courage and strength to the extreme.
Just as he was on edge, he heard Yu Rumeng gritting her teeth behind the desk, “Little bastard!”
Little bastard? Hearing this, the Demon King’s expression couldn’t help becoming a bit strange. Why did this title feel a bit strange, and… the Saint’s anger wasn’t as fierce as he had expected.
From the looks of it, the rumors he had heard… weren’t baseless. The relationship between the Saint Venerable and this Great King Yang was quite unusual.
“Tell me in detail how he killed Yin Si.”
When the Demon King heard this, he immediately explained the details of the battle three days ago. He had personally gone to the Flying Clouds Continent and found a few survivors from that day to inquire about the situation, so he had a very detailed understanding of what had happened that day. This time, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes, exactly the same as what had happened that day.
A moment later, Yu Rumeng’s voice came from behind the desk once more, her tone filled with unconcealable surprise, “You’re saying that from beginning to end, he fought alone with Yin Si without anyone interfering?”
“According to this subordinate’s investigation, that is indeed the case. However, after Great Kin Yang killed Lady Yin Si, he seemed to be at the end of his rope. When the Demon Kings of Flying Clouds Continent wanted to harm him, he summoned Windchaser to protect him.”
“He was actually able to achieve such a feat…” Yu Rumeng’s expression became complicated, but thinking about it carefully, Yin Si’s death wasn’t unjustified. As a succubus, she was extremely confident in her Soul Secret Technique, but after Yang Kai had a night with her, his Soul’s strength had risen to a level that even a Half-Saint couldn’t compare to. Moreover, the bewitching technique of the succubus race was completely useless against him.
It was probably because of this that Yang Kai had seized the initiative and Yin Si was at a disadvantage.
Coupled with the fact that Yin Si had been seriously injured in the Eternal Heaven Continent Battle, although more than a month had passed, it was certain that she had not fully recovered. Even as the master of the Flying Cloud Continent, it was hard to say how much strength she could display, which was why Yang Kai was able to accomplish such a feat.
If it had been a Half-Saint at his peak, Yang Kai would never have been able to achieve such a feat by himself.
However… this little bastard had actually gone to find trouble with Yin Si as soon as he left the Phantom Continent. This was truly beyond her expectations, and in the end, he had even killed her!
If news of this were to spread, she would definitely become the laughing stock of the other Demon Saints. Yu Rumeng could even imagine Bei Limo’s hateful face when she saw her again, how hateful!
Just as she was lost in thought, the Demon King below carefully asked, “How should we handle this matter? Please explain, Saint Venerable.”
After all, the death of a Half-Saint wasn’t a small matter, and if it wasn’t handled properly, it might cause the other Half-Saints to feel uneasy. Yin Si had followed Yu Rumeng for many years now, so for her to be killed in her own territory for no reason, there had to be an explanation.
“Where is that little bastard now?” Yu Rumeng asked with a solemn expression.
“His whereabouts are unknown. Since Great King Yang rode Wind Chaser three days ago, no one has seen him again.”
“Investigate! Find him for me, he must be seriously injured right now. After finding him, bring him back to the Holy City, this Queen will personally deal with him!”
Although Yu Rumeng was gritting her teeth as she spoke, as if she wanted nothing more than to swallow Yang Kai whole, the Demon King was still able to catch a different kind of information from her words. The Saint Venerable really loved and protected this Great King, otherwise why would she have ordered someone to bring him back to the Holy City? All she needed to do was send out a few Half-Saints to kill him.
Lady Yin Si had probably died in vain this time.
“In addition, to the outside world, it is said that Yin Si colluded with the traitor Yue Sang and attempted to commit a crime. Now that she has been killed, she can only blame herself.”
Sure enough…
The Demon King respectfully nodded and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Then… what about Sir Di Li? Should we send someone to inform him?”
He obviously knew what had happened that day in the Eternal Heaven Continent. Since Yang Kai had gone to find trouble with Yin Si and even killed her, he definitely wouldn’t let Di Li off. Just thinking about it made his scalp go numb. If that Great King Yang could kill Lady Yin Si alone, he would definitely be able to put up a fight against Sir Di Li. What’s more, he had Wind Chaser by his side. If he really went to find Di Li, it would definitely be a big mess.
“Di Li has already gone to the Two World Battlefield, there’s no need to inform him!” Yu Rumeng said lightly.
“Yes,” The Demon King replied respectfully. Originally, the Saint Venerable had already made arrangements in secret. Since Sir Di Li had gone to the Two World Battlefield, it was likely that Great Kin Yang would not be able to find trouble with him, so this matter should end here.
“You may leave.” Yu Rumeng waved her hand and slowly closed her eyes, relaxing into the soft chair as she recalled Yang Kai’s words, “Even if the Demon Territory wins in the end and occupies the Star Boundary, how many of the Demon Race will survive? How many Demon Saints will survive?”
…
Inside the Medicine Garden, when Yang Kai opened his eyes, he felt his entire body go numb and itchy, as if there were billions of ants swimming about inside his body. The strange itchiness coming from his flesh, meridians, and bones made it difficult for him to even scratch it.
“Master, you’re awake?” Mu Lu’s surprised voice came from beside him.
Yang Kai looked down and saw that this little wood spirit was staring at him with a look of pleasant surprise. Its two eyes were red, and there seemed to be a trace of tears on her small face. She must have been crying.
At this moment, Mu Lu was floating next to his feet, her hands forming a series of hand seals as a dark green light blossomed from her body. Mu Zhu above his head was also in the same position, and the green aura released by the two Wood Spirits was like a water that wrapped around him, allowing him to immerse himself in this vitality and energy.
“How long did I sleep?” Yang Kai asked in a hoarse voice. As soon as he spoke, he felt as if his throat was on fire, as if there was a ball of magma in his throat. Even his voice was somewhat distorted.
“Eight days,” The voice of Mu Zhu above his head rang out.
“So long…” Yang Kai was shocked. He was well aware of his own physique, so he didn’t need to worry about ordinary injuries. Even if he had suffered some minor injuries, he should have been able to recover slightly. This time, he had actually been unconscious for eight days, so it was obvious how serious his injuries were.
It could be said that he had never suffered such serious injuries since his debut.
Even now, although he had awoken, his injuries had not fully healed.
“Master, you’re trying too hard. Mu Lu is worried to death,” Mu Zhu reprimanded with a straight face, “If you don’t wake up soon, I’m afraid Mu Lu will cry her eyes out.”
“No…” Mu Lu’s face turned red as she glared at Mu Zhu, seemingly blaming her for speaking nonsense. Seeing Yang Kai look at her with a smile, her face became even redder as she lowered her head and whispered, “I really didn’t cry.”
Seeing her cute appearance, Yang Kai’s heart warmed and he waved his hand, “You two should rest.”
Saying so, he pushed himself up.
Seeing this, Mu Zhu quickly flew behind Yang Kai and used all her strength to push him back. Mu Lu also rushed over and grabbed one of Yang Kai’s fingers, her face turning red as she used all her strength to pull him back.
As soon as the two Wood Spirits moved, the green aura filled with vitality disappeared.
Sitting up straight, Yang Kai smiled and raised a finger to stroke Mu Lu’s head, saying, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Mu Lu immediately narrowed her eyes, a look of joy appearing on her face as Mu Zhu flew out from behind her. Seeing this, she pursed her lips into a smile and said, “It’s all thanks to Master’s excellent physique, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to do anything about it. If an ordinary person were to suffer such an injury, even ten lives would not be enough.” Saying so, she put on a serious expression and said, “Next time, Master can’t fight so hard.”
The fist-sized little girl pretending to be dignified really made Yang Kai want to laugh, but the two Wood Spirits’ concern for him was genuine. Yang Kai quickly nodded and said, “It won’t happen again.”
Hearing this, Mu Zhu sighed, knowing that Yang Kai was just saying it casually. The outside world was extremely dangerous, so how could there be a time when one didn’t have to risk their life? If one didn’t risk their life, others would do the same. Without saying anything more, Mu Zhu changed the subject and said, “Master should first inspect your body, don’t leave any hidden dangers.”
“Good!” Yang Kai nodded and sat down cross-legged, using his Divine Sense to examine himself.
Eternal Tree is on the side, but at this moment it was completely bare. The three remaining leaves on the tree had been given to the Bright Moon Great Emperor by Yang Kai, Mu Zhu and Mu Lu flew to one of the branches of the Eternal Tree and sat down side by side, Mu Lu swinging her two small feet happily.
Seemingly sensing something, she turned her head and saw Mu Zhu staring at her with a mocking smile.
Mu Lu’s face immediately turned red as she lowered her head, feeling as if her head was about to explode…
The injuries he had suffered this time were quite serious. Even with his powerful recovery ability and the two Wood Spirits’s eight days of continuous healing, he still hadn’t fully recovered.
However, after a series of inspections, Yang Kai was able to relax a little. The injuries on his body were serious, but there were no hidden dangers. On the contrary, after fighting with Yin Si, he had obtained some unexpected benefits.
At the very least, his High-Rank Demon King cultivation had completely stabilized.
