Yang Kai hadn’t thought of this possibility. After all, he had been in the Demon Territory for several years and had never seen any Demon Race with such a fetish, but after hearing Fu Ling’s words, he felt it was quite possible.
He hadn’t seen this in the Demon Territory because it was filled with Demon Race.
Now that the Demon Race had invaded the Star Boundary, the situation was completely different from before. If there really was such thing, it wouldn’t be surprising if it was exposed now.
“Let’s go!” Yang Kai turned around and let out a long roar. A moment later, a figure descended from the sky. It was none other than Ying Fei, who cupped his fists and called out, “Sir!” Yang Kai nodded, his Space Laws fluctuating wildly as he wrapped the two of them up and disappeared.
At this moment, he had already divided his Sixth Stem Army into two groups, with Bai Zhuo holding the fort all the way from the south to the north and his Embodiment guarding the east to the west.
Bai Ya was still recuperating in the Mysterious Small World, so it would probably take a while for him to fully recover.
It wasn’t that he was willing to split up his forces. Although his Sixth Stem Army was flourishing, the Demon Race wasn’t a pushover either. This time, all of the Half-Saints had been mobilized, but with the flames of war everywhere in the Northern Domain, there were simply too many places that needed reinforcements, so splitting up their forces was more efficient.
This was a helpless action.
The two armies rushed towards various parts of the North Region while Yang Kai and Ying Fei went ahead to scout out the situation of the enemy. Fu Ling insisted on following them, saying that as the Sixth Stem Army flag-bearer, she couldn’t be too far away from the Army Commander.
Yang Kai didn’t want to tangle with her, so he simply brought her along.
He had only just found the first city, but he had already witnessed such a tragedy.
“The blood in the city hasn’t completely dried up yet, so it shouldn’t be long before the Demon Race leaves. Sir, please come this way!” Ying Fei was an expert in tracking, Yang Kai couldn’t catch up to him no matter how hard he tried. Following the direction he pointed, his Space Laws constantly fluctuated as his figure flickered.
From afar, Yang Kai could see a giant black spot in the sky. It was as black as ink and exuded a thick Demonic Qi. From this black spot, the aura of another world could be felt.
Ying Fei suddenly understood, “It seems they want to return to the Demon Land!”
Yang Kai snorted, “I’ll go take a look!”
Since returning from the Western Region, Yang Kai had been leading his army around the Northern Domain for the past few days, trying to put out the fire. Yang Kai hadn’t had the time to investigate the situation of the Demon Land beneath those black dots.
Although he had seen it before in the Western Regions, the ink dot in the Western Regions had just opened when it was sealed by him. The Demons who had crossed over from the ink dot had either died or fled. However, although the gap between the two worlds had been sealed, the eroded ink dot had not disappeared.
Yang Kai really wanted to know what was different about these ink dots in the north region.
Now that they had caught up with the enemy, it was a good time to investigate.
There was no need for Ying Fei to guide them any further, as there were traces of a large army passing by along the way, and their destination was the Demon Land.
A few thousand kilometers away, Yang Kai’s figure flickered a few times before he arrived in the void. Looking around, Yang Kai frowned. In his vision, he could see Demon Land everywhere, and within it, the trees were withered and the vegetation was gray. It was as if he was in a Demon Territory, giving off an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
Yang Kai had obtained the Bright Moon Legacy and was recognized by the world’s will, so he had an unparalleled perception in every corner of the Star Boundary, but he was unable to sense the aura of any Star Boundary in this Demon Land!
In other words, this Demon Land was no longer a Star Boundary, but a Demon Territory!
Not only that, but within the Demon Land, the World Laws began to undulate, and as they did, the Demon Land’s surface area began to quietly expand.
Yang Kai was the only one who could sense this. If it was any other Pseudo Emperor who came here, it would be impossible for them to discover this. The Demon Land’s rate of expansion was very slow, but it was still expanding, constantly eroding the Star Boundary’s territory.
This place should be the foundation of a certain Sect, with its mountain ranges and mountain forests filled with pavilions. It should have been a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but the black dot in the sky just so happened to appear above this Sect. The entire Sect’s territory, along with the surrounding ten thousand kilometer radius, had long since been transformed into Demon Land.
Vaguely, a miserable cry came from a certain mountain peak.
Yang Kai was startled, thinking he was hallucinating, but when he listened carefully, he found that there was indeed a sound.
There was actually a living person!
Yang Kai had thought that wherever the Demon Race went, they would kill all the living beings in the Star Boundary. Even if they didn’t kill them, they would be eroded by Demonic Qi and turn the Human Race into Demon Race. However, he didn’t expect that there would still be people who survived here. He just didn’t know what they had encountered, but at this moment, they were crying miserably.
Yang Kai tilted his head and listened carefully to the sound before quickly disappearing.
When he reappeared, he was in a mountain valley. The valley was bustling with activity, with many Demon Race cultivators gathered here. At this moment, all of these Demon Race cultivators were busy.
Inside the mountain valley, there were many large pots filled with boiling hot water and boiling oil.
Some of the Demon Race members were carrying human corpses that had been torn off their stomachs, throwing them into hot water or boiling oil, causing a strange and nauseating smell to fill the entire valley.
On the other side of the valley, a group of several hundred people were tied up and guarded by the Demon Race. From time to time, a Demon Race cultivator would come forward with a sharp weapon and drag one of them to the side to deal with.
Seeing their clansmen killed and their physical bodies thrown into the pot, those who were still alive had pale faces and had long been scared out of their wits. The cries came from this place, mixed with the pleas and curses of many people.
When Yang Kai arrived here, he glanced around and immediately felt his scalp go numb.
Previously, in that dilapidated city, Fu Ling had asked if the Demon Race were eating humans, he wasn’t certain, but after seeing this scene, how could he not know that the Demon Race was really eating humans!
Three unfamiliar figures suddenly appeared in the valley, how could the busy Demon Race not see them? The Demon Race immediately shouted, “Who is it!”
Yang Kai glanced at him coldly and shouted, “Kill!”
As soon as the word ‘kill’ left his mouth, he arrived in front of the Demon Race master and grabbed his neck, pouring his Demonic Qi into the Demon Race master’s body, instantly breaking his meridians and destroying his ability to resist.
His meridians had been destroyed and his entire body was in pain. His Demonic Qi had leaked out, but he was still alive, just unable to move at all. After being thrown out by Yang Kai, the Demon Race fell straight into a pot of oil.
Crackling sound came out, the Demon Race was tumbling in the boiling oil, miserable, and would die after a while.
A series of splashing sounds rang out as more demons were thrown into the hot pot. For a time, the sound of wailing ghosts and howling wolves filled the air.
When Yang Kai made his move, Ying Fei and Fu Ling also made their moves, one to the left and the other to the right. Ying Fei’s figure was extremely fast, almost transforming into a bolt of lightning, and with just a few flashes, a large number of Demons fell to the ground.
He did not use the same method as Yang Kai, instead simply slaughtering them.
Fu Ling was the same. Her petite body contained a massive amount of strength, and although she wasn’t as graceful as Ying Fei, her pair of pink fists were still able to crush anything in their path.
The Demon Race in the valley didn’t have any masters, not even a Demon King, so how could they resist the slaughter of these three killing gods?
In just ten breaths of time, the hundreds of Demon Race cultivators in the valley had been slaughtered.
The people who had been tied up at the side all thought that they would not be able to escape today’s misfortune, but who would have thought that three saviors would suddenly appear. All of them were overjoyed and many of them began to cry.
In the boiling water, inside the oil pot, the Demon Race that Yang Kai had thrown into the boiling water was still howling miserably, but the sound was gradually becoming softer until it was almost inaudible.
Under normal circumstances, such boiling water and boiling oil wouldn’t cost these Demon Race’s lives. Since they had invaded the Star Boundary, they must have some kind of cultivation. This boiling water and boiling oil were a threat to ordinary people, so how could it hinder them in the slightest? As long as they used their Demonic Qi, they would be able to resist.
However, when Yang Kai subdued them, he had already crippled their cultivation, so they couldn’t use any of their strength at this moment. Although their physical bodies were quite strong, this boiling oil would eventually take their lives.
“All of you, save the people,” Yang Kai ordered as he turned his gaze towards the peak of a mountain to his left. From there, he could hear a loud clamor and a burst of hot air.
“Sir, should we wait for the army to gather?” Ying Fei asked solemnly. Although Yang Kai’s strength was extraordinary, he was still an Emperor Realm. If he really encountered a Half-Saint, it was likely he wouldn’t be a match for him. What’s more, this was Demon Land, so who knew how many Demon Race cultivators had gathered here?
“No need!” Yang Kai shook his head and stepped forward.
Ying Fei wanted to say something more, but he had already disappeared. Fu Ling said, “It’s not like you don’t know Brother in law’s abilities. Even if there was a Half-Saint here, he could still escape.”
Ying Fei thought about it for a moment and agreed. After seeing Yang Kai’s Space Ability long ago, the only ones in this world who could pose a threat to him were the Demon Saint and the Great Emperor.
Relieved, he and Fu Ling walked towards the group of people who were tied up.
A group of several hundred people had long been scared out of their wits, and some of them had even lost consciousness. Ying Fei flicked his finger and released his Qi to release the first few rows of people before letting them rescue their companions.
Facing the orders of these two benefactors, everyone naturally agreed, and after thanking them, their hands trembled as they busied themselves.
Among the crowd, although a middle-aged man’s face was pale, compared to the others, he was still relatively calm. At this moment, he stepped forward and cupped his fists, “Water Cloud Sect’s Yuan Wenlong greets you two benefactors, may I ask for your names?”
Ying Fei frowned and looked around, “Is this Water Cloud Sect?”
Although he knew that this was the foundation of a certain Sect, he didn’t know which Sect it was, but after listening to Yuan Wenlong’s self-introduction, he finally understood.
Yuan Wenlong respectfully replied, “Yes.”
Ying Fei sized him up and chuckled, “Your surname is Yuan, what is your relationship with Yuan Mao?”
Yuan Wenlong suppressed his grief and asked, “Benefactor knows my father?”
Ying Fei curled his lips and replied, “I don’t know, but I’ve heard of it.” In the North Region, Water Cloud Sect could only be considered a medium-sized Sect. In front of High Heaven Palace, it was nothing, but it also had an Emperor Realm master, the Sect Master of Water Cloud Sect, Yuan Mao.
