Zhan Wuhen and Mo Huang’s abnormality greatly shocked Flower Shadow Great Emperor and Serene Soul Great Emperor. As Great Emperors themselves, they naturally understood that Zhan Wuhen and Mo Huang had seen something incredible, otherwise they wouldn’t have shown such expressions.
Coupled with the previous two’s Divine Senses, how could Hua Linglong and Yao Jun not know that there was something strange about Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea?
But what was so strange about it that caused these two to be so shocked?
Although Hua Linglong was curious, she didn’t ask any questions. On the contrary, Yao Jun asked, “What did you see?”
His title was Serene Soul, and just like Yu Rumeng, he was proficient in the power of the Soul. Since there was something strange about his Knowledge Sea, he naturally paid attention to it.
How could Zhan Wuhen and Mo Huang pay any attention to him? The two of them seeing the Soul Warming Lotus is not a problem, but if Yao Jun were to find out about this secret, he would want to study it carefully. With his status as a Great Emperor, he wouldn’t try to rob them, but if he needed to borrow it for some time, would Yang Kai agree?
As a result, Zhan Wuhen and Mo Huang both tacitly kept their mouths shut, while Mo Huang even secretly sent a voice transmission to Yang Kai, “Don’t let that thing be seen by that Old Man Yao Jun, otherwise you’ll be in endless trouble.”
Yang Kai nodded repeatedly, secretly making up his mind that in the future, he would never be alone with this kind of person.
The Demon Territory’s matters had been explained clearly, and Yang Kai’s return this time had brought hope to the Star Boundary to end the struggle between the two worlds. Because of Ming Yue's death, the sorrow he felt had been greatly reduced.
Zhan Wuhen said, “Since the connection between the two worlds has been severed, the three Demon Saints will also be gathering the Demon Race’s army. It seems that the Star Boundary has been peaceful for some time now, but once the seal is broken, I’m afraid the final battle between the two worlds will begin. Yang Kai, you will be the main force in devouring and integrating the Demon Territory’s many continents, so during this time, you must conserve your strength. If you can improve your cultivation again, that will be for the best. If you can’t, you must improve your strength to protect yourself!”
“This junior understands,” Yang Kai nodded, “It just so happens that this junior has some matters to attend to.”
Saying so, he took out a Space Spirit Bead and handed it over, “Please accept this.”
Zhan Wuhen glanced at him for a moment before silently stretching out his hand to grab the Space Spirit Bead.
Immediately after, two light slapping sounds rang out as Hua Linglong clapped twice, followed by the crisp sound of a person entering the room.
Yang Kai turned around and saw that it was Star Soul Palace’s Great Elder, Lei Hong. He had been waiting outside for a long time, so when he heard the summons, he quickly walked over.
As their eyes met, Lei Hong nodded slightly towards Yang Kai before walking over to him and greeting the Great Emperors before turning to look at him.
The hall fell silent, no one speaking, but how could Yang Kai not know the purpose of Lei Hong’s appearance?
With a light sigh, he lifted his hands and with a thought, the Bright Moon Great Emperor’s corpse appeared in front of him.
Although Ming Yue had died, he had been residing in the medicine garden during this time, protected by exotic flowers and herbs. The hole in his chest and his torn clothes had all been cleaned by Yang Kai, so he looked like he was sleeping peacefully.
All of the Great Emperors turned to look at him, their expressions filled with grief. Lei Hong’s body trembled, his eyes turning red as he said in a trembling voice, “Welcome back to the palace, Great Emperor!”
Saying so, he knelt on the ground and raised his hands.
This kneel was not for Yang Kai, but for the Bright Moon Great Emperor Corpse, Yang Kai simply couldn’t return the gesture. Placing the Bright Moon Great Emperor Corpse on Lei Hong’s hands, Yang Kai said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Sorry…"
Lei Hong slowly shook his head and accepted the Great Emperor’s Remains before standing up.
Yang Kai said, “None of the Great Emperor’s belongings have been touched, so I would like to ask Elder Lei to return to the palace and carefully check with the other Elders.”
Lei Hong nodded, “Many thanks, Palace Master Yang.”
Yang Kai blushed with shame and shook his head with a wry smile before asking, “The princess… how is she?”
“Not good,” Lei Hong smiled bitterly. The fall of a Great Emperor was followed with a natural phenomenon, a manifestation of the Star Boundary's grief. As the daughter of a Great Emperor, Lan Xun naturally understood this and fainted on the spot.
The Emperor Realm masters is strong and will never get sick, but after that incident, Lan Xun had fallen seriously ill. The Star Soul Palace had countless pills and medicines, but none of them were able to alleviate her symptoms. Even now, she was still recovering in Star Soul Palace.
However, Lei Hong couldn’t explain too much to Yang Kai, so he simply said, “If Palace Master Yang is free, please make a trip to the Divine Palace. Perhaps you can enlighten the Princess.”
How could Yang Kai have the face to go see Lan Xun again? Back in Heaven’s Mystery Valley, although he hadn’t given her a complete guarantee, he was her only hope. Now that he had failed, Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling guilty.
However, no matter how guilty he felt or how ashamed he was, he still had to go to the Star Soul Palace. Even if Lei Hong didn’t say anything, Yang Kai still had to go. He immediately nodded and said, “Good, in a few days, this junior will come to visit.”
“Then this Lei will take his leave first.” Lei Hong showed a look of gratitude and bowed to the Great Emperors before leaving with the Bright Moon Great Emperor Corpse.
After he left, Zhan Wuhen waved his hand and said with a greasy expression, “You should also leave.”
Yang Kai raised his head and looked at him, “Sir doesn’t want to punish this junior?”
Zhan Wuhen lightly said, “If you want to be punished, this King can satisfy you.”
Yang Kai was silent for a moment before slowly shaking his head, cupping his hands towards the several Great Emperors before turning to leave.
Unexpectedly, he was unable to escape. This hall seemed to have some kind of barrier that sealed off the world, rendering his Space Ability useless.
Looking up, he saw Hua Linglong staring at him with a mischievous smile.
Since his Space Ability was useless, he could only walk out. There was nothing else to say, when he turned around, he heard a shout from behind him, “Senior Brother Yang…”
Yang Kai turned around and smiled at Li Shiqing, “Junior Sister, is there something you need?”
This was the first time Li Shiqing called him Senior Brother.
Li Shiqing whispered, “Myriad Flowers Peak, please don’t make things difficult…”
These words came out of nowhere and even the several Great Emperors present couldn’t understand, but how could Yang Kai not know what she was talking about? She was simply asking him not to make things difficult for Huo Lun and Mo Sheng, who were living in the Myriad Flowers Peak. During this time, Li Shiqing had been in contact with these two Demon Kings and had gotten along quite well with them. Now that she had been sent out of the Mysterious Small World by Yang Kai, leaving behind Huo Lun and Mo Sheng, their life and death were under Yang Kai’s control, so Li Shiqing naturally wanted to make some plans for them.
It was just a small matter, so Yang Kai immediately nodded, “Junior Sister can rest assured.”
Turning around once more, Yang Kai walked out of the hall, and the door behind him slowly closed. Presumably, the Great Emperors had something else to discuss, so Yang Kai let out a sigh of relief and looked up at the sky. The seven colored light flowing in the sky was not the result of the Great Array, but rather a wondrous scene of the world. The seven colored light seemed to contain something else.
Yang Kai immediately understood that this should be the Seven Mist Sea that Fan Xin had mentioned before, the entire Star Boundary, the four regions’ allied forces, and the fifty-four legions key point.
Unsurprisingly, Yang Kai was quite interested in the seven colored light.
Just as he was carefully examining it, he suddenly felt something and turned his head to the side, only to see a beautiful figure standing in the corner, smiling sweetly at him, her long hair tied into a dozen braids, making her look quite strange.
Seeing him look over, she even waved at him.
Yang Kai also showed a knowing smile and took a few steps forward, arriving in front of the little girl and asking happily, “Did you come with your master?”
Standing there waiting for him was none other than Lin Yun’er, whom he hadn’t seen for many years. The last time he had met her was in the Western Region. At that time, he had planned to take her to the High Heaven Palace, but in the process of teleporting, Lin Yun’er had been lost. Later, Yang Kai had investigated and found that a great master must have destroyed the Space Array he had painstakingly arranged in the Western Region and cut off Lin Yun’er’s teleportation.
At the time, he had guessed that it was the work of the Iron Blood Great Emperor, but after confirming that it was indeed the work of the Iron Blood Great Emperor, it was quite shameless for a Great Emperor to secretly do such a thing.
This farewell lasted for another twenty years.
This little girl was no different from twenty years ago. She was still as lively and beautiful as before, but the speed at which her cultivation increased shocked Yang Kai.
Lin Yun’er was already a Third-Order Emperor Realm master! Moreover, it seemed that she had been cultivating for quite some time and her cultivation was extremely condensed.
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling a bit dumbfounded, secretly feeling that having a good master was truly a blessing. When Yang Yan had taken Lin Yun’er away from the Heng Luo Star Field, the little girl’s cultivation had only been so-so, but now her cultivation had actually progressed faster than his own.
While he was lamenting, Lin Yun’er leaned over and sniffed the air.
Yang Kai couldn’t help laughing as he knocked her head, “Are you a dog? What are you smelling?”
Lin Yun’er covered her head with her hands and pouted, “Uncle, you smell like another woman.”
This ‘uncle’ sounded really friendly, but the meaning behind her words was quite awkward. He had been separated from Yu Rumeng for several days now, so even if he had her scent, it would have faded a bit, so how could Lin Yun’er not notice?
Smiling lightly, he asked, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
“I’m not talking nonsense,” Lin Yun’er snorted, “Master said I have a dog’s nose, so don’t try to hide anything from me.”
Saying so, she closed her eyes and began sniffing again.
Not daring to let her continue smelling him, Yang Kai poked her forehead with his finger and pushed her away, sighing, “Did you come here to smell my scent?”
Lin Yun’er was stunned for a moment before she seemed to remember something and giggled. Then, she grabbed Yang Kai’s arm and pulled him towards a certain direction.
Yang Kai blushed slightly, “If you have something to say, just say it, what’s the point of rushing around like this?”
The little girl had grown up and her chest was full. Being hugged by her like this, Yang Kai immediately felt his arm go soft.
If that was all, it would have been fine, but the key was that Yang Kai clearly felt a Divine Sense lock onto him, filled with malicious intent…
Needless to say, it was definitely Zhan Wuhen’s Divine Sense. Yang Kai couldn’t understand why a Great Emperor would guard against him like he was a thief. Back then, he had even destroyed his Space Laws to prevent Lin Yun’er from following him to the North Region’s High Heaven Palace. Now that he was discussing important matters with other Great Emperors, he still didn’t forget to monitor him.
