Like a living creature, the large banner fluttered a few times before spitting out a dozen shriveled corpses and returning to Gui Zu’s hand.
In the blink of an eye, the Souls of these dozen or so Principle Source Stage masters had been absorbed by the Myriad Soul Banner and their flesh and blood essence had been completely absorbed. Gui Zu’s methods were truly terrifying, and in terms of visual conflict, he was far superior to Yang Kai.
In the blink of an eye, everyone from the Sect Master to the dozen or so Principel Source Stage cultivators had been wiped out.
The hundreds of disciples who were watching from the back suddenly felt their hands and feet go cold as their bodies went cold, all of them staring forward in horror. Their strength wasn’t high, and they didn’t even understand what had happened, yet their own masters had already become corpses. Only now did they understand that their Founding Ancestor’s awe-inspiring display of power was only because the other party didn’t want to bother with him. If they really did care about him, the so-called Founding Ancestor was no harder to kill than a mosquito. In the face of such a tragedy, a few female disciples were so frightened that they began crying. Even their Founding Ancestor had died, so how could they possibly survive?
“Why aren’t you scramming? Do you all want to die here?” Ling Taixu shouted at those people.
With a shout, these people’s minds were finally pulled back. It was unknown who cried out in fear, but they quickly turned around and fled. With someone taking the lead, there were naturally others who followed suit. In an instant, several hundred people turned around and fled in panic, many of them falling to the ground after only a few steps before scrambling to their feet and staggering away.
After a dozen breaths of time, the several hundred people had all fled. Ling Taixu, Chu Lingxiao, and the others glanced at each other before heaving a sigh of relief.
They were really afraid that Yang Kai’s killing intent would rise and he would kill all of these people. If that was the case, they really didn’t know how to deal with him. Li Kaishan and the dozen or so Principle Source Stage masters who had attacked High Heaven Palace’s Sect Protection Array had died. After all, no Sect’s Sect Protection Array could be casually attacked. Attacking the Sect Protection Array was tantamount to provoking the Sect, and they had only themselves to blame for being killed. However, these hundreds of young people were ignorant, and they had only followed the orders of their Sect’s Elders, so they probably didn’t know what the consequences of this trip would be.
Now that everyone was fleeing for their lives, Yang Kai didn’t try to stop them and relaxed.
Yang Kai gradually withdrew his Demonic Qi and returned to his original appearance. Looking at his calm expression, people couldn’t even begin to imagine the evil side of him just now.
“From today onwards, High Heaven Palace will open its gates!” Yang Kai ordered lightly.
When Hua Qingsi and Bian Yuqing heard this, their expressions became solemn and they excitedly said, “We will obey Palace Master’s decree!”
There was no way they wouldn’t be excited. Over the past few years, the name of Evil Sect, the Great Emperor’s Mountain Sealing decree, had weighed down on High Heaven Palace like two great mountains, making it difficult for them to breathe. The disciples of High Heaven Palace might not have felt it too deeply, after all, most of them had come from the Star Field, so their strength wasn’t high and most of them were cultivating in seclusion, but High Heaven Palace’s upper echelons were extremely concerned about this matter. This matter concerned the reputation of their Sect, so who could remain indifferent?
Opening the mountain gate was equivalent to pushing aside the clouds and revealing the bright moon. It was High Heaven Palace proving themselves to the world!
“Elder Sister Hua,” Yang Kai called out again.
Hua Qingsi quickly took a few steps forward, “This subordinate is here.”
“In the past few years, which Sect has acted like the Mountain Splitter Sect? Have you remembered?” Yang Kai turned to look at her.
Hua Qingsi glanced at him with a helpless look on her face. How could she not know what he was up to? However, she still nodded and said, “I remember it all.” It was because she understood Yang Kai’s personality that she remembered all the Sects who had come to provoke and stir up trouble in the past few years.
Yang Kai grinned, “Good, then I’ll have to trouble Elder Sister Hua to take some people to those Sects and send all the Void King Realm and above cultivators from these Sects to the Western Region Battlefield. The Western Region… will probably have some big movements in the near future, so I’m afraid there will be a shortage of people.”
Hua Qingsi nodded, “Yes!”
Meng Wuya ground his teeth and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Palace Master, will there be any problem with this?”
Killing someone who had come to provoke them, there was another explanation. Forcing them to serve in the Western Region Battlefield was a bit unreasonable. It had to be known that in the past few years, the Great Emperors had all issued conscription orders voluntarily. Even the Great Emperors had never forced anyone to participate in the Two World War, so Yang Kai’s actions were simply too overbearing.
“What problem can there be?” Yang Kai smiled happily, “If they want to make a name for themselves, the best place for them to do so is the battlefield. That place is a good place for them to make contributions, so if I send them there, I’ll be fulfilling their wishes.”
Everyone was speechless. On the battlefield, it was indeed a good place to make a name for themselves, but the prerequisite was that they had to survive. Over the past few years, the Demon Territory’s Half-Saint and Star Boundary's Pseudo Emperor had all fallen on the battlefield, so who could guarantee that they would be able to escape unscathed?
However, these people who had been hiding in the North Region all these years were not worthy of sympathy.
As they were talking, Yang Kai suddenly let out a soft cry and turned his head towards High Heaven Palace.
Everyone didn’t know what was happening, but all of them also turned their attention over.
A moment later, a stream of light shot out from the Sect and arrived in front of Yang Kai, revealing a young man with an arrogant and indifferent expression. After he appeared, he didn’t look at anyone but Yang Kai.
In an instant, everyone became vigilant and stared at this young man.
The only reason for this was because the other party was clearly hostile towards Yang Kai, as if they were enemies.
The young man had a Second-Order Emperor Realm cultivation, but his aura was extremely powerful, comparable to an ordinary Third-Order Emperor Realm master.
This caused a group of people to be unable to help muttering in their hearts, wondering just what kind of rising star this young man was, to have such charm.
“Brother Yao,” The only one who recognized him was Ji Ying.
The young man was insufferably arrogant, his eyes almost reaching his forehead as he stared down at Ji Ying with disdain and cupped his fists politely, “Grandmaster Ji!”
“What brings Brother Yao here?” Ji Ying asked curiously.
“Looking for him!” The young man pointed at Yang Kai, his expression returning to its usual indifference.
Yang Kai smiled and asked, “Is there something you need?”
In just a few sentences, although the others had never seen this young man before, from the conversation between Ji Ying and Yang Kai, they could infer his identity. After all, his surname was too rare. In the entire Star Boundary, besides him, there was probably no other person with the surname Yao.
Serene Soul Great Emperor's Son, Yao Si! It was said that Serene Soul Great Emperor had a son and a daughter, and among all the Great Emperors, he had the most children. The other Great Emperors either had no heirs or only had one, and most of them were daughter. Only this Serene Soul Great Emperor had a son, so it was no wonder this young man looked so dignified. He was the son of Serene Soul Great Emperor.
Yang Kai wasn’t too familiar with this man, he had only met him a few times. The first time he met him was in the Star Fragments Sea, and he hadn’t had much contact with him since.
On the other hand, he was more familiar with his younger sister, Yao Lin. The little girl had a bad temper and had suffered quite a bit at Yang Kai’s hands. The last time she had been caught with Lan Xun, Gao Zhan, and the others, it had been Yang Kai who had rescued them. It was also that time that Yu Rumeng had transformed into Li Shiqing and planted a Heart Seal Secret Technique on Yang Kai, unveiling the prelude to the war between the two worlds.
The two of them were originally strangers, so Yang Kai didn’t know why Yao Si had come to find him. However, he didn’t feel any pressure. One of his women was a Demon Saint, so the son of a Great Emperor wouldn’t be able to catch his eye.
“On the orders of the Great Emperor, Yang Kai accepts this order!” Yao Si suddenly raised his hand and held up a jade plate. The jade plate shone brilliantly under the blazing sun, emitting a dazzling light that was filled with the aura of the Great Emperor, making it difficult to look at directly.
Everyone’s expressions changed. Yang Kai had just killed an Emperor Realm master who had come to stir up trouble, displayed his Demonic Qi, and even ordered High Heaven Palace to open its gates. It had only been a short time since then, yet the Great Emperor had already issued such an order, causing everyone to feel somewhat uneasy. They didn’t know if it was because this matter had already been passed on, and if the Great Emperors wanted to deal with Yang Kai.
The rest was easy to explain, but the key was that Yang Kai’s strength couldn’t be explained clearly. The situation with the Demonic Qi was exactly the same as the rumoured Demonic Heavenly Dao, and the Demonic Heavenly Dao was an existence that the entire Star Boundary deeply hated.
Only one of them had a look of joy on his face. Zhou Cheng’s face had originally been pale, when Yang Kai had shouted at him back in High Heaven Palace, he had thought that Yang Kai was lacking in confidence and had chased him all the way here to demand an explanation. He had watched as Yang Kai used his Demonic Qi and killed an Emperor Realm master without any warning. Only now did he understand that this guy was not as easy to deal with as he appeared to be. When Li Kaishan was killed, Zhou Cheng had been quite frightened, feeling as if he had just walked into the gates of hell.
Yang Kai could even kill a troublemaker, let alone someone who wanted to snatch his woman?
Originally, he had decided not to get entangled with Yang Kai any longer and instead just say a few soft words. Today’s matter had been reduced to a small matter, but who would have thought that after such a twist of events, the Great Emperors would actually send out orders.
This was truly a case of good karma and evil karma. It wasn’t that he didn’t want revenge, but the time had not yet come! Zhou Cheng’s heart was filled with excitement as he subconsciously felt that Yang Kai was about to suffer.
No matter how capable he was, if the Great Emperors really wanted to deal with him, he would definitely die!
As soon as the Jade Plate was taken out, everyone lowered their heads and obeyed, including Yang Kai.
The corners of Yao Si's mouth curled up into a sneer. Originally, he wasn’t the one who should go issued the order, after all, he could have simply sent someone over for this kind of task, there was no need for him, the son of the Great Emperor, to personally take action. However, he had forcefully accepted this task, one of the reasons for this was because… seeing Yang Kai’s respectful attitude in front of him, even if it was towards the Great Emperor and not him, lowering his head in front of him was the truth!
With a loud shout, Yao Si shouted, “In accordance with the Great Emperor’s decree, High Heaven Palace’s Palace Master, Yang Kai, has ventured deep into the Demon Territory alone to spy on the enemy. From now on, High Heaven Palace’s Mountain Sealing order will be revoked, and High Heaven Palace disciples may freely enter and exit.”
Yao Si’s voice wasn’t loud, but when he circulated his Emperor Qi, it spread throughout High Heaven Palace.
After a brief period of calm, High Heaven Palace suddenly erupted.
