He didn’t know what use the Golden Crow’s corpse had, but it didn’t stop Yang Kai from snatching it first. After all, this was the spoils of war he had obtained after spending a single strand of Mie Meng Golden Plume Feather, so how could he let it go?
When he had brought Great General Si Chen to search for his family, Mie Meng had only given him three Golden Plume Feathers. In a situation where his strength was still weak, these three Golden Plume Feathers were extremely precious and could be considered three life-saving talismans. If it weren’t for the fact that he had no other choice, how could Yang Kai be willing to use them here?
However, in the face of the Golden Crow’s attack, he had no choice but to use it, otherwise he would die.
Yang Kai’s figure flickered as his Space Laws fluctuated wildly. What made Yang Kai pleasantly surprised was that after the Golden Crow passed away, the power it had used to seal the world had also disappeared, allowing him to smoothly activate his teleportation technique.
Since there was no way to determine his location, he decided to run first.
This time, it was like poking a hornet’s nest. The many open heaven stage masters in the hall first stared with their eyes wide open, followed by shock and anger. They had put in so much effort to fight the Golden Crow and paid a huge price, even many of the low rank open heaven stage masters had fallen. It had not been easy for them to capture the Golden Crow, but now it had been taken advantage of by a random brat?
If that person really had great strength, it would be fine, but if his strength was inferior, he wouldn’t be able to challenge for it. The key was that this boy wasn’t even at the Open HEaven Stage, yet he had the guts to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth?
Old Hong and the others were especially angry. Although everyone had obtained a piece of Sun's True Gold from this trip, no one would complain about having too much benefits, especially when it was the corpse of an adult Golden Crow. It was even more valuable than Sun's True Gold.
“How dare you!” Old Hong shouted angrily as his powerful Divine Sense poured out like a tide, immediately locking onto Yang Kai’s position. His fat body swayed slightly before he disappeared from the spot and chased after him.
Zhang Qi and Ji Tian Xing also didn’t say anything, each using their own Secret Techniques and disappearing.
Yuan Xiaoman turned to look at Madam Lan, “Sister Lan, aren’t you going to chase after him?” Saying so, without waiting for Madam Lan’s reply, Yuan Xiaoman shot up into the sky like an arrow leaving a bowstring, breaking through the roof and directly opening a path to the outside world, a group of low rank open heaven stage cultivators following closely behind.
Inside the hall, Madam Lan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a strange expression…
Of course she knew who this young man was. He had lived in the First In for four months and could be considered a guest of the First Inn. His name seemed to be Yang Kai, but later on he had somehow entered this Golden Crow Divine Palace and hidden himself in a passage. At that time, she hadn’t exposed him, but he was just a guy who wanted to take advantage of the situation. He had a treasure that could conceal his body, and with her Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage eyesight, she was able to see through it with a single glance. Since they weren’t related, there was no need for her to care about others. The reason why she hadn’t exposed him was because the First Inn had always been friendly and had never taken the initiative to become enemies.
Who would have thought… this guy would actually pick up such a great bargain!
The Golden Crow’s corpse was far more valuable than the Seventh Order Sun's True Gold she had obtained. Just thinking about it made her feel quite interested. With so many Open Heaven Stage masters here, how could he, an Emperor Realm, have the courage to do such a thing? Wasn’t he afraid that the Golden Crow’s corpse would burn his hands?
“I’m just afraid you won’t be able to take it with your life!” Madam Lan let out a light sigh and looked up to see that Yuan Xiaoman had already opened a passage above her head that led to the outside world. With a sway of her delicate body, she soared into the sky.
At this moment, Yang Kai felt as if his butt was on fire, the Space Laws around him fluctuating wildly as he madly fled. Behind him was a large group of Open Heaven Stage cultivators, led by Old hong and a few other Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage masters.
Seeing their flustered and exasperated expressions, those who didn’t know better would think he had dug up their ancestral graves!
This was the first time Yang Kai had been pursued by an Open Heaven Stage cultivator, and with so many Open Heaven Stage cultivators at once, almost all of the forces in the nearby large domain were present. Yang Kai finally understood how difficult and powerful a Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage cultivator was.
Although he had relied on his Space Laws to escape, he hadn’t run far before he felt a few auras lock onto him from afar. Needless to say, these auras were the ones that had locked onto him.
After several minor teleportations, although he was able to put some distance between them, he was still unable to escape.
On top of that, after several attempts, Old Hong and the others seemed to have noticed Yang Kai’s Space Laws and chased after him even more fiercely, rapidly closing the distance between them. In the end, Yang Kai’s strength was still a bit lacking, so how could his speed compare to the Open Heaven Stage master?
Fortunately, his Space Ability gave him a unique advantage when it came to escaping. If not for this advantage, Yang Kai would have been captured long ago.
Behind the crowd, Great Moon Province’s Wei Que and Tao Rongfang also wore extremely strange expressions as they secretly communicated with their Divine Senses.
“Senior Brother, is that Yang Kai? Am I seeing things?” Tao Rongfang still couldn’t believe what she had seen in the hall and couldn’t understand how Yang Kai had appeared there.
Wei Que quietly nodded, “Yes, it’s him.”
“How did he…”
“I don’t know either, but he’s in big trouble this time.” Wei Que’s expression became serious as he sighed, “Hmph, since he has a way to hide, he should have just kept hiding. Why did he have to expose his whereabouts and even… sigh!”
In that kind of situation, let alone Yang Kai, who wasn’t even an Open Heaven Stage cultivator, even if he faced such a situation, he wouldn’t dare try to snatch the Golden Crow’s corpse. Wasn’t obtaining such a hot potato courting death? But now, with several dozen open heaven stage cultivators chasing after him, even if that little brat was proficient in the Space Laws, it was likely he wouldn’t be able to escape.
“It really is a pity. That boy is quite a good person, and Asun was able to find us thanks to his escort,” Tao Rongfang also sighed.
“He also saved our lives!” Wei Que said.
Tao Rongfang was confused, “When did he save our lives?”
“When the Golden Crow faked its death and came back to life, weren’t you curious about why I suddenly pulled you back? It was this boy who secretly sent me a sound transmission saying that the Golden Crow might still be alive… Now that I think about it, if he hadn’t warned me in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!”
Thinking back to that scene, Wei Que couldn’t help shuddering. The Golden Crow's True Fire had erupted in an instant and nearly half of the open heaven stage masters present had died. If he and Tao Rongfang hadn’t retreated, they wouldn’t have been able to guarantee their lives.
“He was here at that time?” Tao Rongfang was shocked.
Wei Que couldn’t help laughing, “I don’t know how he got in or how he managed to conceal himself, but I guess it was because of some kind of artifact. It’s just that in that situation, those who were involved couldn’t see clearly, and even Madam Lan and the others were attracted by the Sun's True Gold, so no one noticed the Golden Crow’s abnormality.”
Tao Rongfang said with some lingering fear, “If that’s the case, we really owe him our lives. Senior Brother, we can’t just sit back and watch him get into trouble.”
Wei Que said with a headache, “Of course we can’t ignore him, but this matter isn’t easy to handle… Let’s not talk about anything else, we need to quickly catch up to him. This little brat really knows how to run, I really want to break his leg.”
Tao Rongfang chuckled, “It’s not bad if he can keep running like this, at least we can guarantee he won’t be caught. I’m just afraid he won’t be able to continue.”
As the two of them spoke, they did their best to pursue, but the distance between them and the few mid rank open heaven stage masters only continued to widen. Fortunately, their vision in this starry sky was quite good, so they weren’t afraid of losing them.
At this moment, a furious roar rang out in front of them, clearly audible even from far away.
“You little brat in front, if you want to live, stop for this old master. Otherwise, when this old master catches up to you, I’ll make you taste the cruelest torture in the world and make you beg for death!”
If it weren’t for the fact that he had no other choice, Old Hong wouldn’t have threatened an Emperor Realm master like this. It was a loss of status. The young man was simply too good at running, and he had taken the initiative. From the start, Old Hong and the others were thrown far behind. If they had been a bit closer, Old Hong could have interfered with the space around the boy and prevented him from teleporting away, allowing him to easily catch up. However, at this moment, even if Old Hong interfered, it wouldn’t have much of an effect. The other party should still be teleporting.
As he spoke, his anger overflowed.
Yang Kai, who was fleeing in front of him, didn’t even bother to pay attention to him. If he stop at this time, he would truly be a fool. To be honest, he was somewhat regretful that he had picked up such a hot potato. After watching the show for so long, he had even seen eight Sun's True Gold, but he hadn’t had a chance to obtain any of them. He had even used one of his Golden Plume Feathers, thinking that he couldn’t afford to make such a loss, so in a moment of impulse, he snatched the Golden Crow’s corpse.
However, since he had already snatched it, it was impossible for him to return it now. With so many mid rank open heaven stage masters chasing after him, who could he return it to? No matter who succeeded, the rest would not let him off.
Since he would be viewed as an enemy from both sides, he might as well walk the dark path. As the saying goes, success comes from the thin, while wealth comes from danger!
Seeing Yang Kai ignore him, Old Hong became even angrier and shouted, “Boy, you’re courting death!”
As he spoke, his fat body suddenly expanded, transforming into a giant monster that was dozens of meter tall. He stretched out his hand and grabbed towards Yang Kai.
Feeling the astonishing pressure, Yang Kai was startled and turned his head, only to see a giant hand covering the sky behind him…
Then, he grabbed nothing but air from far away!
Yang Kai shrank his neck and resisted the urge to curse. He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.
As for Old Hong, who was already injured, after using this Secret Technique, he seemed to have consumed a great deal of energy and began coughing violently, greatly reducing his speed.
Yuan Xiaoman rushed past him and said, “Can’t you stop when you’re old? Why are you stretching your hand so much?”
Looking at her disappearing figure, Old Hong nearly died from anger!
“Little brother in front, can you wait for me? You’re running too fast!” Yuan Xiaoman called out as she flew, her sweet voice causing Zhang Qi and Ji Tian Xing to frown.
“Little brother, don’t run, where can you run? Although this universe is big, there is no place for you to hide. When they catch up to you, I’m afraid you won’t have a good end.”
Zhang Qi and Ji Tian Xing turned to look at her, secretly sneering, as if, if she caught up to him, he would have a good ending.
