After confirming that Yang Kai had really returned to the Star Boundary, Mu Zhu’s expression relaxed slightly, while Mu Lu cheered happily.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand and patted Mu Lu’s head, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Mu Lu immediately narrowed her eyes, a look of enjoyment appearing on her face.
Mu Zhu, who was watching from the side, sighed, “Although you are the Master, when it comes to age, we sisters are much older than you, so don’t treat us like children… What are you doing…”
Yang Kai used his other hand to rub her head, “Thank you for your hard work.”
Mu Zhu immediately fell silent…
After meditating for a while, Yang Kai left the Mysterious Small World.
When his figure flashed out, six pairs of eyes turned towards him, it was naturally Yu Rumeng, Bei Limo, and Chang Tian. Seeing him appear, Yu Rumeng quickly asked, “How are you?”
Yang Kai smiled, “It’s fine.”
Yu Rumeng was still worried, so she directly grabbed his hand and used her Demonic Qi to carefully examine him. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, she finally relaxed. Bei Limo sneered, “You’re lucky this time, but you won’t be so lucky next time. Be careful.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and took a deep breath, feeling quite satisfied.
Finally, he had returned to the Star Boundary. Since the last time he had ‘betrayed’ the Star Boundary and followed Yu Rumeng to the Demon Territory, almost five years had passed in the blink of an eye. The war between the two worlds had lasted for five years, and both sides had suffered countless casualties, but from the looks of it, this long drawn-out war had just begun.
No matter what, Yang Kai’s mood was quite good after returning to the Star Boundary. Although he had become a Demon, he was still a human in heart, so how could he like a place like the Demon Territory? The Star Boundary was his final home. Here were his family, friends, sects, all kinds of attachments and ties that even the Great World’s barrier could not separate.
The place where Chang Tian and the others had landed was a barren wasteland with no greenery at all. There were even some traces left behind after a fierce battle, but these traces had been here for some time now. It was likely that someone had fought here before, and the scale of this battle was not small.
The dry wind swept up the sand, obscuring their vision. The sun was hot and stuffy.
This place should still be somewhere in the West Territory, and it could even be said that it wasn’t far from the Demon Race’s main camp. After arriving at the Star Boundary, Chang Tian and the others didn’t go too deep, only leaving the Demon Race’s main camp and staying here.
“What do you plan to do next?” Chang Tian asked Yang Kai.
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before saying, “Let’s first deal with the problem of the Mysterious Small World, then gather the strength of the Star Boundary and slowly consolidate our forces and slowly conquer the Demon Territory!”
Chang Tian didn’t comment.
“However, this matter will require your assistance.”
Only then did Chang Tian speak, “Since things have reached this point, we have no choice but to help you.”
Yang Kai said gratefully, “Many thanks. Please follow me to see the various Great Emperors so that we can gather together and discuss our plans.”
Chang Tian smiled and slowly shook his head, “I’m afraid that’s not possible.”
Yang Kai frowned and asked suspiciously, “Why?”
“We are still Demons, after all, and now the relationship between the two worlds is at odds with each other. If we rashly follow you to see those Great Emperors, who knows what will happen?” Seeing Yang Kai about to speak, Chang Tian raised his hand and interrupted, “This King believes you, but that doesn’t mean this King believes those Great Emperors. You might as well ask Saint Rumeng and Saint Limo.”
Yang Kai turned his head and saw Bei Limo nod seriously. Although Yu Rumeng didn’t say anything, her expression was obvious.
“Ming Yue fell into the Eternal Heaven Continent and died in the end. We don’t want to follow in his footsteps.”
Yang Kai frowned in contemplation. It was only natural for Chang Tian and the others to have such concerns. Before, he had never thought about this problem, only feeling that his plan wasn’t too problematic. Now that Chang Tian had said so, he immediately understood that he had taken things too lightly.
What if those Great Emperors saw these three and attacked them? What if the situation was different from what he had imagined? Although the Great Emperors were all reasonable people, the grudge between them was simply too great because of Ming Yue. Yu Rumeng and Bei Limo had also participated in the Eternal Heaven Battle. Although the two of them had not directly harmed Ming Yue, they had participated in the Twelve Great Demon Array.
Ming Yue’s death was somewhat related to them.
“Then how does Senior think this matter should be resolved?” Yang Kai asked.
Chang Tian said, “While you were recuperating, we also discussed this matter carefully and came up with a solution. We want you to listen and see if it’s feasible.”
“Senior, please speak,” Yang Kai cupped his fists.
“Your own plan doesn’t change, you can do whatever you want.” Chang Tian stretched out his hand and circled around Yu Rumeng and Bei Limo, “The three of us will remain here, not just the three of us, but also some of your Mysterious Small World's Demon Race.”
“Do you have any standards?”
“Demon King and above!” Chang Tian replied.
Yang Kai nodded slightly. In the past half a year, the Mysterious Small World had devoured more than a hundred continents in the Demon Territory, and the number of Demons on these hundred or so continents was uncountable, but if one were to only count Demon Kings and above, there were probably only a few thousand.
However, this was still an extremely terrifying number. Demon Kings were comparable to Emperor Realm masters, and a few thousand Demon Kings was a terrifying force, not to mention there were many Half-Saints amongst them.
“Senior, what do you want these Demons for?” Yang Kai was puzzled.
Chang Tian pondered for a moment before smiling, “I’ll be honest with you. Although the three of us have extraordinary strength and aren’t afraid of those Great Emperors, there are only three of us. Now that the Demon Territory’s route of retreat has been cut off, if anything happens to you, we’ll need to leave some people with us.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai realized that Chang Tian wanted the Demon Race to guard against the Star Boundary.
“That’s only one of the reasons,” Chang Tian continued, “The second is…” He pointed in a certain direction, “The Demon Race’s main camp is over there, and since we’re all Demon Race, we don’t have any intention of exterminating them. We can try to subdue them, but we can’t just let the three of us do this by ourselves, right? The Demon Kings and Half Saints in the Mysterious Small World are the best choice for this.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s eyes lit up. Before coming here, Yang Kai had seen with his own eyes that there were tens of millions of Demon Race cultivators stationed on that extremely small continent. In addition, the number of Demon Race cultivators who had invaded the Star Boundary was probably more than a hundred million.
With such a large force, relying on the people of the Star Boundary to kill them, who knew how long it would take. However, if Chang Tian and the others could subdue the Demon Race, it would be equivalent to weakening their forces here.
Among the hundreds of millions of Demon Race cultivators, there were no Demon Saints present, only Great Emperor Night Shadow. It could be said that as long as Chang Tian and the others took action, the Demon Race’s army would immediately suffer heavy losses, and they wouldn’t even need to use their full strength!
This was a good thing and there was no reason to refuse, so Yang Kai quickly nodded.
Chang Tian’s attitude was exactly the same as Bei Limo and Yu Rumeng’s. It was obvious that the three of them had carefully discussed this matter while Yang Kai was recuperating and felt that this was the best way to resolve the current situation.
“Go and communicate with those Great Emperors and pass on a message to them that our Demon Race subordinates will not make things difficult for the Star Boundary, and will even be of great help when we launch a counterattack against the Demon Territory. We only hope that after this matter is completed, we will have a place to live.”
“I’ll remember, I’ll definitely pass it on,” Yang Kai nodded seriously.
There was nothing more to say, so Yang Kai immediately used his Divine Sense to communicate with the Mysterious Small World, sweeping his Divine Sense across every inch of the land and summoning all the Demon Race who had agreed to his conditions.
Not long after, a large group of Demon Kings appeared in front of him.
Just as he had estimated, there were several thousand Demon Kings, and these Demon Kings were basically Yu Rumeng and Bei Limo’s subordinates. Seeing the two Saint Venerable, they naturally bowed respectfully.
Yang Kai also summoned the Demon Kings under Chi Yan and Zu Liao.
It was useless for these Demon Kings to remain in Mysterious Small World, so it was better to leave them to Chang Tian and the others to carefully train. He believed that in front of the prestige of Chang Tian and the others, these Demon Kings wouldn’t dare play any tricks.
There was also a group of Holy Spirit Bloodline masters from the Hundred Spirit Continent.
Aside from the Demon King, there was also the Half-Saint. This was another terrifying lineup.
Among Yu Rumeng’s subordinates, there were eight Half Saints, Bei Limo’s subordinates, twelve Half Saints, and Chang Tian have nine subordinates, six of Chi Yan’s, and two of Zu Liao’s, as well as one captured outside the Two Worlds Passage a dozen days ago, a total of thirty-eight Half Saints.
It was equivalent to a quarter of all the Half-Saints in the Demon Territory!
Although there were only a few of them, there was a large number of powerful talents. With such strength, it would be difficult to say that they would be able to sweep through the entire Star Boundary, but protecting themselves would not be a problem. This was also the reason why Chang Tian and the others wanted to keep these people here.
If the Great Emperors wanted to harm them, they wouldn’t be powerless to resist.
The eight Half-Saint subordinates of Chi Yan and Zu Liao, as well as the one they had just captured, were not considered one of their own. Their cultivation had been sealed and their strength had been sealed, but it shouldn’t be difficult for Chang Tian and the others to subdue them.
After this busy period, Yang Kai had consumed a lot of energy and found a place to rest.
A few hours later, Yang Kai opened his eyes and Yu Rumeng stood guard beside him. Seeing him wake up, she smiled.
Ten kilometers away, Demonic Qi soared into the sky as thousands of Demon Kings and thirty-eight Half-Saints gathered together. It was a spectacular scene, but although there were many people, it was very quiet, with only Chang Tian’s voice echoing.
After experiencing the initial excitement, the Demon Kings and Half-Saints calmed down quite a bit. Coupled with Chang Tian’s explanation, they all knew what they had to do in the future.
Yang Kai listened quietly for a while before smiling, “I’ll have to trouble you here.”
Yu Rumeng shook her head, “This is a small matter, you should be careful on your own side. After all, your current situation is a bit different from ordinary people.”
Yang Kai knew what she was talking about. It was nothing more than the fact that he had become a demon, afraid that the Great Emperors would try to subdue him…
