Yao Si was shocked, not knowing that he had fallen into a trap. In his anger, he bit the tip of his tongue, wanting to use the pain to stimulate himself and restore his consciousness.
The pain came, but there was no smell of blood…
Yao Si was stunned.
If there was no smell of blood, it meant that he was not a real entity. Was he… in the state of a Divine Soul? If he had not taken a bite, he would not have noticed this.
The Son of the Serene Soul Ghost Emperor was especially aware that he had been hit by someone else’s Divine Soul Secret Technique. As this thought flashed across his mind, his strong and stable mind completely collapsed!
When the Soul Warming Lotus first evolved, Yang Kai had gained some insights and obtained a Secret Technique. This Secret Technique was mysterious and difficult to defend against, and with Yang Kai’s powerful Soul cultivation, it was often able to surprise the enemy and allow him to seize the initiative.
As soon as the Life Lotus appeared, a pure white flower bud that was just about to bloom could rush into the enemy’s Knowledge Sea and devour their Soul. However, after so many years, Yang Kai had not been able to comprehend any other Soul Secret Technique from the Soul Warming Lotus, much less cultivate any other Secret Technique.
After all, one’s skills were more important than quantity, and the Soul Secret Technique Life Lotus was more than enough.
However, ever since he had a moment of pleasure with Yu Rumeng and his Soul cultivation had skyrocketed, he discovered that this Secret Technique Life Lotus had another transformation, the Raging Lotus!
It was completely different from the Life Lotus Technique, and could even be said to be a completely different Soul Secret Technique.
When the Life Lotus was used, the enemy’s field of vision would be filled with a budding flower bud. When the flower bloomed, the enemy’s Soul power would rapidly deplete.
When the Raging Lotus was used, it was a pure white lotus flower blooming, wrapping around the enemy’s Soul and sealing it, severing the connection between the enemy’s Soul and body.
If any living being wanted to survive, if they wanted to walk or speak, they would need to become one with their soul, but the Raging Lotus was able to separate this state of unity, severing the connection between the Soul and the physical body. This meant that the physical body would become a walking corpse without any consciousness, and no matter how powerful it was, it would not be able to display its full strength.
Just like this moment…
The world was completely sealed, not a trace of light could be seen, and even his perception was no longer present. Before he fell into a deep sleep, a thought that made him furious suddenly appeared in his mind: Evil thief, treacherous thief, I fell into a trap!
He couldn’t be blamed for thinking this way, the main reason being that when he was preparing to attack just now, Yang Kai had acted as if he was prepared to give up his position as the Commander of his own Jǐ Zǐ army, but when Yang Kai really attacked, he had actually used such a method.
Hateful, absolutely hateful!
Before he had set out to High Heaven Palace, Yao Si had gone to look for Great Emperor Serene Soul to ask about his Jǐ Zǐ Army Commander. At that time, he had asked the Great Emperor how he was compared to Yang Kai.
The Great Emperor didn’t even spare him a glance, simply saying he was inferior!
Yao Si was unwilling to accept this and had come to High Heaven Palace with the Great Emperor’s order to issue a challenge. He had never imagined that he would end up like this!
But now, Yao Si was even more unconvinced! He felt that if he were to fight with Yang Kai openly, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose, but the other party’s cunningness was simply too unfair.
Filled with unwillingness, Yao Si fell into a deep sleep.
This battle may have caused many dangerous changes, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was only an instant.
When Yao Si rushed over, Yang Kai directly met him, and the two of them passed by each other, each standing still. Because Yao Si was directly in front of them, everyone could clearly see the light in his eyes dissipate as he stood there, his eyes empty.
Yang Kai slowly turned around, sighed, and patted his shoulder.
Only at this moment, where Yang Kai stood, did a faint shadow gradually fade away.
Everyone looked at him strangely, and Ling Taixu frowned, “Did you do anything to him?”
Although Yao Si’s previous performance was not pleasing to the eye, it was only because of his personality. He had no enmity with High Heaven Palace, and since he was the son of the Great Emperor, High Heaven Palace really couldn’t do anything to him.
“Nothing, he just fell asleep,” Yang Kai replied.
He fell asleep…
Everyone looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Although the battle between Yang Kai and Yao Si had only lasted for a brief moment, the Divine Sense fluctuations the two of them released at the same time were extremely clear. Considering the entire process, how could everyone not know that the two of them had fought at the Divine Soul Realm?
But in the end, one was safe and the other was asleep.
The one who was safe and sound was Yang Kai, while the one who had fallen asleep was Yao Si.
If it was any other Second-Order Emperor Realm who encountered such a situation, everyone wouldn’t be too surprised, but this man was the son of Great Emperor Serene Soul, the leader of the younger generation who had been personally trained by Great Emperor Serene Soul since childhood!
How powerful was Yang Kai’s Soul Cultivation to be able to achieve such a feat?
He couldn’t figure it out, nor did he dare to think about it!
But no matter what, most of the people present had the same thoughts as Yao Si. Yang Kai had clearly intended to give in before, so why had he suddenly decided to make a move now? The only thing they were certain of was that this matter was definitely related to Hua Qingsi’s voice transmission. After all, it was after Hua Qingsi’s voice transmission that Yang Kai’s fighting spirit suddenly soared.
They only needed to ask Hua Qingsi later.
“He’ll wake up in an incense stick’s worth of time. Elder Sister Hua, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of him. En, when he wakes up, let him understand his current situation. Heh heh, this is really interesting.” Saying so, Yang Kai shook his head with a smile.
Hua Qingsi pursed her lips and smiled, “Palace Master can rest assured, this subordinate will definitely let him understand everything clearly.”
Yang Kai nodded and bowed towards the crowd, “I haven’t been back for several years and have many things to attend to, so this little brat will be busy. I’ll pay my respects to the elders later.”
Saying so, without waiting for anyone else to say anything, he spread out his two arms like a pair of eagle wings, gathered Su Yan, Xia Ningchang, Shan Qingluo, Xue Yue, and Zhu Qing next to him, and rushed towards High Heaven Palace.
What kind of bullshit 'busy' was this? He was obviously going to 'kiss' his wives.
Seeing this, the group of elders all laughed and shook their heads. Only Meng Wuya was not too happy, his face pulling a long face, as if the entire world owed him millions.
Everything happened so suddenly that Su Yan and the others were stunned. After they recovered from their shock, how could they not understand Yang Kai’s plan? However, in broad daylight with so many seniors in front of them, all of them blushed and were forced to leave by Yang Kai.
After taking a few steps, Yang Kai suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at Ji Ying and the others, asking, “Grandmaster Zhou wanted this king to give you an explanation, what is it?”
Zhou Cheng was originally hiding behind Ji Ying, but who knew that Yang Kai had no intention of letting him go. Hearing this, his body swayed and he nearly fainted. Fortunately, Ji Ying had used his Emperor Qi to protect him so he didn’t embarrass himself in public.
However, after being called out by Yang Kai, he couldn’t not respond, so he lowered his head and said respectfully, “It was this Zhou’s fault, Palace Master Yang, please forgive me!”
Ever since he saw Yang Kai transform into a ‘Demon’ and directly kill Li Kaishan, Zhou Cheng had realized that Yang Kai was different from ordinary Emperor Realm. He really dared to kill him, he wouldn’t care about his reputation.
Later on, the Great Emperor passed down a decree to clear Yang Kai and High Heaven Palace’s name and also bestow upon them the position of Army Commander of his own Jǐ Zǐ Army. How could Zhou Cheng dare act so presumptuously?
The only reason he had been able to speak so arrogantly before was because he had been criticizing Yang Kai’s status as a Demonic Demon, but now that he was no longer in this position, all his previous accusations were nothing but jokes.
Yang Kai glanced at him and saw that he had admitted defeat, so he didn’t say anything more. With a wave of his Demon Qi, he wrapped his five wives up and flew towards High Heaven Palace. From the black cloud, Xia Ningchang’s cry rang out.
After he left, everyone gradually dispersed, but before Meng Wuya left, he coldly snorted at Zhou Cheng and waved his sleeve.
Ji Ying frowned for a long time before letting out a long sigh, “Zhou Cheng, you should go to the Seven Mist Sea. High Heaven Palace has enough people. Last time, I heard from General Manager Li that they need more people.”
Zhou Cheng stared at Ji Ying with his mouth wide open, seemingly wanting to say something, obviously somewhat unwilling.
Of course he wasn’t willing. Although the Seven Mist Sea was safe, how could it compare to High Heaven Palace, which was located behind the Star Boundary? Moreover, it was said that the Alchemists from Seven Mist Sea would sometimes have to fight alongside the army. If they were to fight, their lives would be in danger.
However, before he could say anything, Ji Ying said, “Yang Kai is a petty man who will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Since you provoked him, how could he let you off so easily? Now that he has obtained the position of a Commander in his own Jǐ Zǐ Army, the only fate you will face if you remain here is to be conscripted by him. Do you want to follow the Jǐ Zǐ army into battle? If you are willing, you can stay here.”
Zhou Cheng’s expression changed as he quickly cupped his hands and said, “I will follow Grandmaster Ji’s arrangements.”
Ji Ying nodded, “Don’t worry, the Seven Mist Sea is also very safe.” Saying so, he led the group of Alchemists and flew towards the Medicine Pill Peak, a trace of joy flashing across his heart. Yang Kai had destroyed his Heaven and Earth Variable Pill, he couldn’t do anything to Yang Kai, but he could at least throw some dirty water at him. Being petty and vengeful was nothing but an exaggeration.
But then again, after today’s events, Zhou Cheng could no longer remain in High Heaven Palace. If he really stayed here, even if Yang Kai didn’t take issue with him, Meng Wuya probably wouldn’t let Zhou Cheng live a good life. Meng Wuya’s attitude before he left was obvious.
Not long after, the only ones left outside the mountain gate were the kid who had been separated from his body and soul by the Raging Lotus Secret Technique, as well as High Heaven Palace’s First Chief Manager and Second Chief Manager.
Bian Yuqing couldn’t bear to see a pile of dirty things in front of her house, so she collected the corpses of the people they had killed before and threw them away.
On the way back, she glanced at Yao Si and asked, “Still asleep?”
Hua Qingsi smiled and said, “Palace Master said that an incense stick’s worth of time would be enough. It’s not time yet, but it should be soon.”
Bian Yuqing nodded and looked up at the sky, squinting slightly, “The weather today is really good!”
Hua Qingsi also said, “Yeah, that’s great!”
When Yang Kai returned to the palace, the Great Emperor ordered that the mountain gate be reopened and that he should rise his own Jǐ Zǐ Army. Today’s events came one after another, causing many people to be overwhelmed with joy, but all of them were joyous events.
