As soon as these words came out, Meng Hong and the others were shocked, never having imagined that things would develop to this point.
Chen Yue’s face also turned pale from shock as she stepped forward, “Senior Brother Zhao, this is a misunderstanding!” As she spoke, she tried to pull Zhao Xingchen back.
Zhao Xingchen’s body trembled as he shouted impatiently, “Scram!” Energy surged out and directly pushed Chen Yue to the side, nearly causing her to fall to the ground.
“Junior Sister Chen!” Meng Hong quickly stepped forward to support her, but Chen Yue avoided him. Seeing this, Meng Hong’s expression couldn’t help becoming a bit gloomy, as if he had lost his soul.
Zhao Xingchen turned his head to look at her and coldly snorted before turning his head to look at Yang Kai and coldly shouting, “Brother Yang, this Commander originally wanted to recruit you out of consideration for your talent, but unfortunately Brother Yang doesn’t appreciate it. Since that’s the case, then I ask Brother Yang to come to my Scarlet Star Prison for a chat!” Waving his hand, he shouted, “Capture all of them, if they dare resist, kill without mercy!”
In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so people rushed forward and reached out to capture Yang Kai, Meng Hong, and the others.
The three Great Moon Province disciples were suddenly at a loss, not knowing what to do. They wanted to resist, but after all, this was Scarlet Star’s territory, and if they really couldn’t handle this situation, they would suffer greatly.
On the other hand, the few people who were rushing towards Yang Kai suddenly let out a muffled groan and flew backwards, smashing the tables and chairs in the hall.
Zhao Xingchen was shocked, “You dare fight back?”
Over the past few months, Scarlet Star's momentum had been swift and fierce. In this Star City, Scarlet Star cultivators ran rampant and no one dared to provoke them, so he had never imagined that someone would actually attack his people in public, causing him to be stunned.
Yang Kai sneered, “If you dare to attack this King, why does this King not dare to fight back? Come here!”
Reaching out his hand towards Zhao Xingchen, Zhao Xingchen’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Yang Kai. Yang Kai grabbed him by the neck and pressed him down on the table, the scorching hot energy in his palm concealed as he coldly stared at him, “You dare act so presumptuously in front of this King with just this little skill?”
Zhao Xingchen flew into a rage out of humiliation, “You’re dead, you’re dead! Do you know who I am? I’m Zhao Xingchen, and Scarlet Star’s Fifth Manager is my brother-in-law. Boy, hurry up and let me go, or else you’ll suffer!”
As he shouted, he struggled with all his might, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get up. The hand that was wrapped around his neck was like an iron hoop, suppressing him to the point where he couldn’t exert any strength.
Zhao Xingchen was shocked. He was also an Emperor Realm master and had condensed several types of Open Heaven materials. He had never thought that he would be suppressed to the point where he could not fight back!
With their Commander so easily captured, the Scarlet Star cultivators didn’t know what to do. They all looked at each other, stunned.
Zhao Xingchen slammed his hand on the table and shouted, “What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and attack!”
Everyone had no choice but to rush forward, but because of Yang Kai's power, none of them were able to get within ten meters of him before they were sent flying and fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
Meng Hong and the others were stunned while Chen Yue’s mouth was slightly agape, her face filled with anxiety.
Although she knew that Yang Kai’s strength was extraordinary and had personally witnessed him dominating the Emperor heaven's hundred people, she had never imagined that Yang Kai would be so bold as to actually dare to act here.
However, since things had already happened, it was already too late for her to stop them, so she could only wait anxiously, not knowing where to start.
“I advise you to quickly release me, kneel down and kowtow and apologize, otherwise you will never see tomorrow’s sun!”
Although Zhao Xingchen was in a miserable state, his mouth was extraordinarily tough. Relying on his status as Scarlet Star’s Small Commander, thinking Yang Kai didn’t dare do anything to him.
“You like to kneel and kowtow in apology?” Yang Kai sneered, suddenly raising his hand and kicking out, “Then you should kneel here.”
Accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, Zhao Xingchen’s face suddenly paled and he let out an earth-shattering scream before falling to his knees!
The many cultivators in the hall all changed their expressions, no longer daring to remain here. They quickly paid for their drinks and ran out.
Before they left, some people looked at Yang Kai with pity, shaking their heads and sighing, feeling that Yang Kai’s reckless act would only lead to regret sooner or later. A middle-aged man even tried to persuade him, “Young man, before things get out of hand, hurry up and leave. If you don’t leave now, it will be too late. After all, this is Scarlet Star’s territory!”
Yang Kai grinned at him, but seeing Yang Kai’s attitude, the old man didn’t say anything more.
In the blink of an eye, all the guests in the main hall had fled, leaving behind the shopkeeper, whose face was ashen as he trembled in fear! Scarlet Star's Small Commander had been beaten up in his inn, so no matter what he did, he couldn’t escape responsibility. This inn could no longer be opened.
After being kicked to the ground by Yang Kai, Zhao Xingchen let out a long wail, his eyes filled with hatred as he glared at Yang Kai, “This Commander will remember today’s humiliation, I will definitely repay you a thousand times over!”
“I’ll sit here and wait!” Yang Kai nodded lightly.
Yue He’s expression became strange, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light as she stared at Yang Kai’s profile.
Zhao Xingchen turned his head again and glared at Chen Yue, who was standing in a daze, “You slut, you only know how to watch a show, don’t you know how to save me?”
Chen Yue’s face paled at his words and she pursed her red lips, begging Yang Kai, “Senior Brother Yang…”
Yang Kai chuckled, “Miss Chen must be joking. You and I have only met by chance, so I can’t afford to have you call me Senior Brother. You don’t need to mention the word Senior Brother anymore.”
Hearing this, Chen Yue’s face became even paler, knowing that Yang Kai was trying to draw a clear line between them. She couldn’t help feeling bitter in her heart, but speaking of which, she and Yang Kai had never had any relationship before, they only met each other because of Meng Hong.
Unable to ask Yang Kai for help, she could only turn to look at Meng Hong.
Meng Hong clenched his fists and lowered his eyes, not saying a word.
Seeing this, Chen Yue sighed inwardly, no longer having the face to speak.
“If you can't even help me, what use do I have for a slut like you?” Zhao Xingchen said angrily.
Yang Kai glanced at Chen Yue coldly, “Your taste in men is really not good!” Hearing this, Chen Yue’s body trembled and she buried her head into her chest.
Yang Kai slapped Zhao Xingchen again, sending a few of his teeth flying. Half of his face swelled up, he glared at him coldly as he said, “If you dare say another word, I’ll immediately kill you!”
Zhao Xingchen’s eyes went wide and his face turned a deep shade of red. It was obvious he wasn’t willing to accept this result, but now that the situation was so dire, he could only swallow his anger.
The hall was silent for a moment, with only the sound of Yang Kai drinking.
Yue He took a look around, smiling as she sent a voice transmission, “How do you end this now?”
Zhao Xingchen and the others were nothing in her eyes, not to mention Zhao Xingchen, even if it was the Fifth Manager behind him, Yue He might not even look at them directly. However, this was the Great Ruins Boundary after all, and this was Scarlet Star’s territory, so after Yang Kai had caused such a ruckus, there was no way they would let him off easily.
“I can understand you standing up for your friend, but this matter has blown up a bit too much,” Yue He continued, “If you want to leave, we have to leave now, otherwise, once the news spreads, we won’t be able to leave.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai replied, “You think I’m standing up for Meng Hong?”
“Is it not?”
Yue He asked.
Yang Kai thought about it for a moment before replying, “A part of it, but the most important part is that they have their eyes on my treasure. Since they won't give up, I can only show them my might and let them know that not just anyone can covet my things.” Saying so, he smiled proudly, “If I want to leave, how can trash like Scarlet Star stop me?”
Under the manipulation of the Space Laws, unless Scarlet Star set up a shocking grand array to isolate the world, Yang Kai could come and go as he pleased!
“You’re so fierce?” Yue He glared at him.
Scarlet Star’s Small Commander Zhao Xingchen had been beaten up and forced to kneel on the ground. This news quickly spread throughout Star City and many people found it hard to believe. After all, who in the Star City would dare to act against Scarlet Star’s people? However, the person who spread this news was certain and they had seen it with their own eyes that Zhao Xingchen was still kneeling in an inn.
Some people who didn’t believe him secretly came over to take a look, and after taking a look, they all felt that this was indeed the case, even more so shocking the person who had hit him.
In the northwestern corner of Star City, in the rear garden of a mansion, there was a small bridge with flowing water and a strange rock garden. Beside the pond, a fat fat man was gently splashing fish food in his hands, causing the koi fish in the pond to compete for food.
Suddenly, an earth-shattering cry rang out from a corner of the courtyard, causing the fat man’s hand to tremble as a pained look appeared on his face.
The sound of crying quickly approached. It was a well-dressed woman with a voluptuous figure. It was unknown what she had encountered, but at this moment, she was crying like a weeping beauty.
Arriving in front of the fat man, the woman fell to her knees and cried out, “Old Master, you must uphold justice for me!”
The fat man turned his head to look at her speechlessly before scattering the fish food in his hand and bending down to support the woman, “If you have something to say, get up and say it. Why are you crying?”
The woman stood up and shouted, “If Old Master doesn’t agree to uphold justice for me, this Mistress won’t get up.”
The fat man rubbed his forehead and asked, “Did your little brother cause trouble again? Didn’t i allowed him the position of Small Commander last time? What is he up to now?”
The woman raised her head and asked tearfully, “Old Master, how did you know it was about Xingchen? Did you hear something?”
The fat man said angrily, “Other than your useless little brother, what other reason do you have to look for me? Tell me, what trouble did he cause this time?”
The woman continued, “Old Master, you’re wrong about Xingchen. This time it wasn’t him who caused trouble, it was someone who provoked him. The subordinate who followed him out said he was beaten up.”
The fat man coldly snorted, “With his personality, sooner or later he’ll be beaten up! I told you long ago to restrain him a little and not cause trouble everywhere!”
The woman cried, “It wasn’t Xingchen who caused trouble. My subordinates said that someone called Yang Kai bullied the weak and not only did he beat Xingchen up, he even forced him to kneel there. Xingchen’s legs were broken, his face was swollen, and many of his teeth fell out!” As she spoke, sadness filled her heart and she wailed.
