The first time he met Cang Mo was in the Star Field. Cang Mo was also a member of the Star law Court, and Wu Heng was his subordinate.
When Wu Heng had used the Great Desolate Star Field to swallow Heng Luo Star Field, Yang Kai had naturally refused. After a great battle, Wu Heng had been defeated and had summoned Cang Mo to assist him in a life or death crisis. At that time, Yang Yan had appeared and helped Yang Kai resolve the crisis.
It was also that first meeting that allowed Cang Mo to discover traces of Yang Kai’s Heaven Devourer Battle Law. The Heaven Devourer Battle Law was so famous that Cang Mo was naturally afraid of it, so after returning to the Star Boundary, he had tried everything he could to find traces of Yang Kai and eventually blocked him outside the Eastern Region Heavenly Wolf Valley.
Outside the Heavenly Wolf Valley, Yang Kai and his Embodiment had joined forces to fight, and had suffered quite a loss. In the end, it was Qiong Qi who appeared and beat Cang Mo into a pig head.
The two times they had become enemies, now that they had met again, it was almost as if they were great enemies.
Yang Kai naturally didn’t have a good expression on his face. If it was in the past, he might have been wary of Cang Mo, but now, not to mention that there were four Demon Race Half-Saints waiting for him in the Mysterious Small World, even if his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, he still might not be afraid of him. If Cang Mo didn’t come looking for trouble, it would be fine, but if he did, Yang Kai would definitely teach him a lesson!
The other Army Commanders weren’t too clear about the grievances between the two of them, but when they saw each other, they could vaguely guess that there was some kind of tension between them.
Li Wuyi and Yang Yan were well aware of this, but now that the Demon Race Calamity had not been eliminated and the enemy was right in front of them, it was naturally not appropriate for them to say anything, so they quietly sent a voice transmission to Yang Kai, “Be the bigger Man!”
Yang Kai nodded subtly.
Almost half of the Star Boundary’s Army Commanders had gathered here, so Li Wuyi introduced them one by one to Yang Kai. Although Yang Kai’s memory was quite good, after this round of introductions, he was only able to remember the names of the people, but the corresponding army was quite vague. The main point was that the Star Boundary’s division was named after the Heavenly Stem Earthly Branch. If one wasn’t familiar with it, it would be difficult to distinguish them, but this wasn’t a big deal. In the future, when they fought together, they would naturally become familiar with each other.
Compared to the other armies, his Sixth Stem Army was nothing more than an infant. Whether it was in terms of seniority or cultivation, Yang Kai was still considered a newcomer. Many of the Army Commanders treated him kindly, most of them praising him for being able to produce talents in every generation, or for being able to form a good relationship with him.
Only when he introduced an old man did the old man glare at Yang Kai with a look of displeasure, as if he wanted to eat him alive. Yang Kai was puzzled, not knowing how he had offended this old man. From his appearance, he had never met this old man before, so how could he have offended him? In his heart, he thought to himself, Is this guy in cahoots with Cang Mo? If that’s the case, I should be more careful in the future, lest I get tricked by these two on the battlefield.
On the other hand, Li Wuyi smiled and said, “Don’t blame Sir Fu for looking at you like that. Sir Fu is the Commander of the Wu Yin Army, and before this, Yao Si belonged to the Wu Yin Army!”
Listening to Li Wuyi’s words, Yang Kai suddenly understood and couldn’t help laughing as he quickly cupped his fists, “Greetings, Sir Fu. Yang Kai thanks Sir Fu for your kindness.”
Yao Si was originally this old man’s subordinate, but after losing to Yang Kai, he was poached by Yang Kai, and after more than ten years, he had managed to amass so much foundation for the Sixth Stem Army. The old man was naturally depressed. Yao Si had never displayed such strength when he was still in his Wu Yin Army, but now that he had left, he was actually able to display such strength. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have let him go no matter what, even if he had to die, he would have kept Yao Si. With Yao Si here, the size of the Sixth Stem Army today might not necessarily be less than Wu Yin Army’s glory.
Hearing this, Old Man Fu snorted, “What’s there to thank? It’s all this old master’s fault for being blind, allowing the Wu Yin Army to be buried in dust. The fact that the Army's Manager Yao was able to become Sir Yang’s officer might be his good fortune.” Old Man Fu paused for a moment before continuing, “However, Sir Yang, Army's Manager yao came out from my Wu Yin Army after all. Without Army's Manager Yao, your Sixth Stem Army wouldn’t be as large as it is today, this old master doesn’t want any benefits from you. But if my Wu Yin Army needs anything in the future…”
“The Sixth Stem Army is at your service!” Yang Kai immediately replied.
Old Man Fu’s tense expression immediately relaxed as he smiled happily and said to Yang Kai, “Sir Yang is quite good, in the future our two families should become closer!”
“Good, all of you are Seniors who have fought on this battlefield for many years and are well versed in the ways of war. This Yang has just arrived here and has many things to ask of you, so when the time comes, I must trouble Sir Fu.”
“Hahaha!” The old man surnamed Fu laughed heartily and patted Yang Kai’s shoulder, “On the battlefield, if your Sixth Stem Army needs anything, just call this old master. As long as this old master still has a breath left, I will definitely lead my troops to assist you, I won’t let you suffer any losses under the hands of these little demons.”
“Then I’ll have to thank Sir Fu first.”
Saying so, the two of them smiled at each other as if they were old friends.
Introducing them one by one took some time, and after they were finally done, Li Wuyi said, “There are other Army Commanders who are temporarily not here. If there is a chance in the future, I will introduce them to you.”
Yang Kai nodded and glanced at the sand table next to him, knowing that this group of people must have something important to discuss with him, so he immediately said, “Then I’ll wait outside first, I’ll come back later to ask Sir about the battlefield.”
“Don’t be in such a hurry to leave,” Li Wuyi raised his hand to stop him, “Stay here and listen. When the time comes, there will be things that require your Sixth Stem Army help.”
The reason Yang Kai wanted to leave was to avoid arousing suspicion, but since Li Wuyi had said so, he naturally wouldn’t refuse.
Inside the main hall, after the excitement died down, everyone fell silent, leaving only Li Wuyi to talk.
Yang Yan quietly walked over to Yang Kai’s side and nudged him with her shoulder, staring at the sand table for a moment before sending a voice transmission, “Why did you go to the Lower Plane Star Field? Why did you go there for more than a decade? I thought you wouldn’t come back.”
“Studying Secret Techniques and cultivating Divine Abilities!” Yang Kai replied honestly.
Yang Yan’s mouth twitched slightly, “If you want to cultivate, the Star Boundary is fine. Why do you want to go to the Lower Planes Star Field? To be honest, is there some woman hiding there?”
“Nonsense!” Yang Kai rolled his eyes, “The war between the two worlds hasn’t been decided yet, how could I have the mood to do such things? Besides, do I lack women?”
Yang Yan snorted, “It’s hard to say, the old saying goes that a wife is worse than a concubine, a thief is better than a concubine. Who knows what you’re thinking?”
Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered to explain this to her and instead changed the subject, “I did meet an old friend in the Lower Planes Star Field, who do you think it was?”
“Your old flame!” Yang Yan didn’t even hesitate.
“Wu Kuang!”
“Ah?” Yang Yan cried out in surprise before quickly covering her red lips with her hand. In a moment of surprise, she cried out, causing several dozen pairs of eyes in the hall to turn towards her. Yang Kai quickly straightened his expression and pretended to be confused.
Her reaction was quite fast as she quickly pointed at the sand table and asked, “The position of the formation here is extremely important, don’t we need an army to guard it?”
Li Wuyi shook his head, “There’s no need for that. This place is a place of death, so it doesn’t matter if the Demon Race doesn’t enter. If they enter this place, they won’t be able to return. In other words, this place is deliberately left empty to lure the Demon Race!”
Yang Yan nodded lightly, a look of understanding appearing on her face.
As Li Wuyi continued, Yang Yan secretly stuck out her tongue and waited for a long time before sending another voice transmission, “You saw Wu Kuang? How did you escape from him?”
Yang Kai smiled, “He didn’t do anything to me, so why should I run? Not to mention, Wu Kuang and Senior Hongchen share the same body, so wherever he is, Senior Hongchen will also be there.”
“That’s true,” Yang Yan nodded, “Is Senior Hongchen alright?”
“Not at the moment, but I did hear some news from them. The details have already been recorded in a jade slip, so please pass it to the Great Emperor for me.”
“Why don’t you go yourself?”
“I’ve only just arrived here, I’m busy with many things, how could I have the time? It’s settled then.” More than ten years ago, Yang Kai had used the Space Spirit Bead to teleport to the Iron Blood Great Emperor’s side, but he had been tricked by him, so how could Yang Kai go see him again?
“It’s not impossible to transfer it for you, what benefits do you have for me?”
“I don’t have anything on me, so what if i give you my body?”
“Haha… come to my room tonight, I’ll be waiting for you,” Yang Yan’s eyes flashed coldly.
Inside the main hall, the lively atmosphere lasted for half a day before everyone gradually dispersed. Before leaving, Bing Yun nodded slightly to Yang Kai and smiled.
Yang Kai also nodded.
After everyone else had left, Li Wuyi sat down on a chair and a maid immediately came over to serve him tea. After taking a sip, Li Wuyi asked, “Has the matter been resolved?”
Yang Kai sat on a chair next to him, separated from him by a table. Hearing this, he nodded and said, “It’s been settled.”
“That’s good,” Li Wuyi felt relieved and drank a few more mouthfuls of tea before putting down his cup and saying, “You should have heard what I just said, right?”
Yang Kai recalled the instructions he had given to the various Army Commanders and asked, “Do we need to wait for the Great Array to be completed before we can open the Gateway between the two worlds?”
He had thought that after he returned, he would be able to open the passage between the two worlds and slaughter his way into the Demon Territory, but who would have thought that this was not the case at all. There were other arrangements to be made in the Star Boundary, so he had to wait.
Li Wuyi gently patted the armrest of his chair and said, “The Demon Race is brave and the Demon Race is proficient in battle, so the Star Boundary doesn’t have much of an advantage, especially in terms of numbers. We’re at a huge disadvantage. If we recklessly open the two world's passage and slaughter our way into the Demon Territory, even if we have 55 Great Armies, I’m afraid we won’t have a good end. It can even be said that if we really do this, the ones who lose in the end will be us.”
Yang Kai nodded. Amongst the people of the Star Boundary, only he had been to the Demon Territory and knew what the situation was like with the Demon Race. He also knew how powerful the Demon Race was, so he naturally understood that Li Wuyi’s words weren’t exaggerated at all.
