After tidying up the contents of the three Space Rings, Yang Kai took out the Shadowless Gauze and held it in his hand, silently refining it. This was originally Du Rufeng’s possession, but now that Du Rufeng was dead, the mark could be easily erased.
The entire journey was silent. After experiencing such a great change, the few people who had escaped death seemed to have no interest in talking, all of them quietly following behind the Great General and allowing him to lead them in a certain direction.
Time passed, and Yang Kai didn’t know how long he had been flying forward. He estimated that it had been at least two or three months since the Great General had lead them.
Along the way, they did not encounter any great dangers, and the occasional Star Burst or other natural dangers were avoided by everyone.
One day, a small black dot suddenly appeared at the end of his field of vision, and at this time, Yang Kai could clearly feel that the Great General’s mood was somewhat off, as if he had become much more excited and his flying speed had also increased significantly.
The distance was too far, so Yang Kai couldn’t see what the black dot was. After a long time, Yang Kai saw that the black dot was actually a giant fragment of a world. He didn’t know which Universe World's fragment it was, but it was quite large and barren.
The Great General led everyone towards the World Fragment.
A day later, the group of four landed on this world fragment and looked around, only to find that it was completely desolate and devoid of life.
The Great General flapped his wings and led the way while Old Fang looked around curiously, “Why did Great General lead us here?”
“I don’t know,” Yang Kai shook his head, “I’ll just follow and see.” Forget about anything else, just based on the fact that the Great General had desperately blocked Du Rufeng’s attack for him, if something really happened to him, Yang Kai wouldn’t just sit back and watch.
The Great General seemed to be very familiar with this place, and after arriving here, he walked in a certain direction and soon arrived in front of a barren mountain. In the middle of the mountain, there was a dark cave that led to an unknown place. Standing at the entrance, one could faintly hear the whistling of the wind, and after scanning it with his Divine Sense, he was unable to find the end. This cave was obviously extremely deep.
At this point, the Great General finally stopped and turned to look at Yang Kai, crying out loudly.
Yang Kai looked back at Old Fang and the others and said, “I’ll go down with Great General to take a look. You all stay here and wait for me.” Although he believed that Great General wouldn’t try to harm him, it was better to be cautious in this unknown place. If he went down alone and encountered danger, he would still have a chance to escape, so it wouldn’t be convenient to bring Old Fang, Die You and the others along.
Die You said, “Let’s go down together.”
Yang Kai shook his head, “Wait for me.”
Saying so, he grabbed Great General and jumped into the cave. Behind him, Old Fang and Die You looked at each other and could only wait.
The inside of the cave was unusually dry, and the terrain was quite flat at first. After walking for a short distance, the cave suddenly began to turn sharply. It seemed that it led to the ground, and the further they walked, the darker it became. Fortunately, Yang Kai’s cultivation was quite high, so even if there was no light, it wouldn’t affect him.
After walking down for four hours, Yang Kai even suspected that he had arrived at the deepest part of this world fragment’s underground, and the environment around him suddenly became clear.
This was a huge underground cave, and there was nothing special about it, but after arriving here, the Great General was obviously excited and threw himself out of Yang Kai’s embrace, crying out as he flew forward. This sound gave off a strange feeling, one that was both sad and nostalgic.
Yang Kai frowned slightly, not knowing what was so special about this place that the Great General had such a reaction.
However, before he could figure it out, he suddenly felt an aura spreading out from the depths of the cave.
There was actually a living creature here? When he had entered, he hadn’t noticed anything. Yang Kai was shocked and quickly held his breath as he looked forward.
He couldn’t see anything, but he could clearly feel an aura reviving in front of him, as if it had just fallen into a deep sleep and was now being awakened by the Great General.
What made Yang Kai’s hair stand on end was that this aura was obviously extremely strong, even more dangerous than the one Old Xu gave him. This undoubtedly meant that the owner of this aura was stronger than Old Xu.
In the darkness, two lights suddenly flashed.
Yang Kai’s blood suddenly turned cold, as if someone had cast a spell on him, causing him to freeze in place and stare blankly at the two spots of light.
What kind of light was that? It was clearly two giant eyes, each the size of a house.
As this pair of eyes opened, a layer of golden light slowly flashed in the pitch-black cave. This golden light quickly filled the entire space, illuminating the entire cave with a golden light.
Yang Kai opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time, the shock in his heart unable to be any greater.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have been able to believe what he was seeing. In his field of vision, there was a giant golden chicken lying in the cave. This golden chicken looked exactly like Great General Si Chen, but its body was countless times larger than Great General’s, like a magnified version of Great General.
Whether it was the aura of the awakening, the dazzling golden light, or the house-sized eyes, all of them belonged to this giant golden chicken.
At this moment, Great General Si Chen had already arrived in front of the strange beast and was crying out loudly. The beast’s fierce eyes slowly became gentle and filled with love as it lowered its head and gently nudged Great General.
The Great General’s cries became even louder as he flew over to the beast’s head and began combing its feathers with his beak.
Seeing this, how could Yang Kai not understand that this enlarged Golden Chicken in front of him was definitely a close relative of Great General Si Chen? It was just that he didn’t know if it was his father or his mother, but it was likely it was his mother.
The Great General had come here to seek his relatives!
He had long since thought that the Great General was no ordinary Golden Chicken and should be some kind of strange beast with a strange bloodline. Now that he had met his mother, this idea was confirmed.
Since the Great General had a close relative, how could he be Duan Hai’s pet in the Fire Spiritual Land? Moreover, judging from his mother’s appearance, it was obvious that her strength was extraordinary. Duan Hai was definitely not her opponent, so how did Duan Hai bring the Great General away?
Could it be that Duan Hai had kidnapped him? Thinking about it, it wasn’t impossible. If that wasn’t the case, why would the Great General ignore Duan Hai’s life and death and instead follow him out of the Seven Skillful Land?
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a voice say, “Junior, you have an aura I hate!”
Yang Kai was shocked!
The voice rang out directly in his mind. It sounded gentle and beautiful, a female voice, but the meaning behind it wasn’t so pleasant. Looking up, he saw the giant golden chicken in front of him looking down at him, its pair of house-sized eyes reflecting his figure.
Yang Kai swallowed his saliva and looked around before finally fixing his eyes on the road in front of him and asking carefully, “Are you talking to me?”
Si Chen’s mother eyes narrowed dangerously, “What do you think?”
Yang Kai’s mouth twitched as he quickly cupped his fists, “Junior Yang Kai greets Senior, may I ask how i should address Senior?”
“I am Mie Meng!”
“So it’s Senior Mie Meng, I’ve long heard of your great name!” Yang Kai cupped his hands again. He didn’t know if this Mie Meng was her name or race, but he had never heard of her before. However, there were all kinds of strange things in this Outer Universe world, so seeing some things he had never seen before was normal. The only thing he was certain of was that Si Chen's mother was not to be trifled with.
However, although she had said that he had an aura she hated, Yang Kai wasn’t too worried. With him bringing Si Chen back, she shouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
Mie Meng quietly observed Yang Kai, her large eyes filled with ridicule. Above her head, Great General Si Chen made a few ‘cuckoo’ sounds. Mie Meng listened carefully for a long time before nodding slightly, “I understand.”
Looking down at Yang Kai again, she said, “My son said it was all thanks to you that he was able to leave that place and return to my side.”
Yang Kai replied firmly, “Great General and I became friends at first sight, we were as close as brothers, so these small matters are not worth mentioning.” After pausing for a moment, he asked curiously, “Senior, how did Great General end up in the Seven Skillful Land?”
Mie Meng replied, “He was captured. My son was young and ignorant and didn’t know the dangers of the outside world. When he went out to play, i accidentally lost him.”
“So that’s how it is!” Yang Kai nodded slightly. This was quite similar to what he had thought. Since Si Chen had such a powerful old mother, he shouldn’t have run to the Seven Skillful land to become Duan Hai’s pet. It was obvious he had been abducted.
Most likely, Great General Si Chen didn’t have a good impression of Duan Hai, so after the great change, he didn’t care about Duan Hai’s life and death and instead came to find him.
At this moment, Old Fang sent a message over. Presumably, they had also sensed Mie Meng’s aura outside and were worried about Yang Kai’s safety, so they had specially come to ask.
Yang Kai responded by telling them to remain outside while he himself remained safe, allowing them to relax.
Putting away the communication device, Yang Kai said, “Senior, now that Si Chen has returned and Senior and her son are reunited, this Junior should leave. If fate allows, we will meet again in the future.”
Although he really wanted to obtain some benefits from Mie Meng, after all, he had brought Si Chen back with him for some hard work, but facing such a powerful existence, even if he knew that she wouldn’t do anything to him, he still felt a bit uncomfortable. Naturally, it was best for him to leave first. Although Mie Meng’s voice was pleasant to hear, who knew what her temper was like? If she was a temperamental person, he wouldn’t be able to escape even if he wanted to.
“Don't be in a hurry to leave!” Mie Meng transmitted, “I need your help!”
Yang Kai was stunned, “What can Junior help Senior with?”
“Help me leave this place!”
“Senior is trapped?” Yang Kai was surprised, he really hadn’t noticed this, but after thinking about it carefully, from the beginning until now, Mie Meng hadn’t moved at all, as if she had really been trapped. “But Junior’s strength is too low, I’m afraid I can’t do anything.”
