Inside the underground cave, Yang Kai’s expression changed as he pondered.
The battle two days ago could be said to have given him a great shock. He had thought that Seven Skillful Land had reached an agreement with Scarlet Star and that the Flying Smoke Palace would suffer a great loss when they attacked, but who would have thought that at the last moment, Seven Skillful Heavenly Monarch would be assassinated by Zhao Baichuan and Yu Xiushan. In just two short days, Seven Skillful Land had changed hands!
He couldn’t figure out when Zhao Baichuan and Yu Xiushan had work together.
However, Yang Kai could understand why Zhao Baichuan coveted the Seven Skillful Land. After all, Scarlet Star’s Star City had been destroyed, so they really needed a place to settle down.
Perhaps it was because of this temptation that the two sides had come to an agreement.
Changing owners was a great opportunity for him!
Originally, there was Seven Skillful Heavenly Monarch guarding this place, and Seven Skillful Heavenly Monarch had the Formation Jade, so he didn’t have much interest in this Seven Skillful Land, but now it was Zhao Baichuan.
If Zhao Baichuan wanted to control the Seven Skillful Land's Great Array, he would have to properly refine the Formation Jade. In other words, the Seven Skillful Land was currently in a completely defenseless state!
With Yue He’s ability, she could easily control the Great Array.
Licking his somewhat dry lips, Yang Kai made up his mind. Since the people of Scarlet Star were unwilling to let him off and wanted to harm him, he could only blame them for chasing him down several great domains.
Yue He obviously realized this as well and looked at Yang Kai expectantly. Turning her head to look at Yang Kai, their eyes met and she gently nodded.
Yue He suddenly became a little excited and said, “Young Master, I’ll listen to whatever you want to do.”
Yang Kai asked, “If you were to fight Zhao Baichuan, how confident would you be in defeating him?”
Yue He pursed her lips and smiled, “He and I are both Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage masters. Under normal circumstances, our strengths should be about the same and neither of us would be able to defeat the other, but with the help of this Seven Skillful Land's formation, if we were to fight one on one, I should be able to kill him within an hour!”
She had this confidence. After all, after hiding here for two months, she had already refined fifty percent of the Great Array’s power, allowing her to control its power. On the other hand, Zhao Baichuan didn’t have such an advantage.
This was also the reason why Xu Huang had been able to wreak havoc in the Seven Skillful Land with his Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivation, severely wounding Seven Skillful Heavenly Monarch, and killed three Protector Venerable. At that time, Xu Huang had relied on the power of the Great Array, but unfortunately, he had still failed and died.
Zhao Baichuan was Scarlet Star’s strongest force, and Yue He could handle him, so the rest were the other Managers, Chen Tian Fei, the Ouyang Brothers, Bei Yushan, and Lady Qin. All of them were Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage and possessed extraordinary strength, while the only one Yang Kai could use right now was Lu Xue. Even if Lu Xue made a move, she would only be able to suppress one Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage. There were still four left, so there was no way to deal with them.
The Scarlet Flood Dragon and Earth Dragon might be able to contribute a bit, Guo Ziyan didn't matter. In this kind of battle, Second Order Open Heaven Stage, a single careless mistake would result in a tragic end.
Yang Kai secretly felt a headache coming on. He could only blame Zhu Jiuyin for falling into a deep sleep. If she could help, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble.
Since they didn’t have enough manpower, they could only attack one by one. As long as they cut off Zhao Baichuan’s wings, it would be much easier to deal with him alone.
“Could we have found the location of Chen Tian Fei, Bei Yushan, and the other Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage masters?” Yang Kai asked seriously.
Yue He said, “I’ll try!”
As she spoke, she closed her eyes and grasped the Formation Jade, carefully examining it.
With the help of the great array that covered the entire Seven Skillful Land, she was able to perceive some of the situation inside, but because she had not completely refined it, her perception was not complete.
A moment later, Yue He opened her eyes and said, “There is one person in Water Spiritual Land, two in Fire Spiritual Land, and two in Earth Spiritual Land. I don’t know who is in Water Spiritual Land and Fire Spiritual Land, but the aura of the two people in Earth Spiritual Land is similar, even their Soul fluctuations don’t differ much. It should be that Ouyang Brothers.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s eyes flashed, “Then let’s start with these two.”
Ouyang Bing and Ouyang Lie were twin brothers and were proficient in joint attacks. Although their individual combat strength was not comparable to the other Manager of Scarlet Star, their combined swords were the most difficult to deal with. Yang Kai had fought with the people of Scarlet Star in the Great Ruins Boundary and had a deep understanding of this.
If he could eliminate this Ouyang Brothers, Scarlet Star's combat strength would fall greatly.
As he spoke, Yang Kai took out a mask that was as thin as a cicada’s wing and placed it on his face. With a thought, he transformed it into the image of a white-faced man.
“Seven faces…” Yue He stared at him and muttered under her breath, a complicated light flashing across her eyes.
“You recognize this?” Yang Kai was stunned, but he quickly realized that Yue He should have seen this mask before.
The Seven Faces mask had been given to him by the Proprietress, and Yue He and the Proprietress had some kind of inexplicable grudge between them, so it was not surprising that she had seen the Seven Faces mask.
The Seven Faces mask was an Artifact that could change one’s appearance into seven different faces. The most amazing thing about this Artifact was that not only could it change one’s appearance, it could even change one’s own aura.
However, the Proprietress had also said that the Seven Face mask and Shadowless Gauze had the same drawbacks. It was impossible for Low Rank Open Heaven to see through it, but in the eyes of a Mid Rank Open Heaven, there was a risk of being exposed. The stronger the enemy’s strength, the greater the chance of being exposed. As for High Rank Open Heaven, it was best not to take it out and show it off.
Changing his appearance and aura, even if it was someone Yang Kai was most familiar with standing in front of him, they wouldn’t be able to recognize him.
Yang Kai took out the Wishful Bag, and Yue He understood and relaxed.
Before taking her in, Yang Kai said, “If there’s a chance one day, I’ll take you to the Proprietress. If you apologize to her, she won’t hold it against you.”
Yue He forced a smile, “The big mistake has already been made, I’m afraid Elder Sister Lan won’t forgive me, but it doesn’t matter, being beaten to death by her is not bad.”
Yang Kai was speechless, but he didn’t say anything and instead urged his Wishful bag to store Yue He inside before shaking his Shadowless Gauze to conceal his aura and movements and walking out from his hiding place.
It had to be said that the combination of the Seven Faces mask and Shadowless Gauze was simply amazing. One could conceal one’s aura and figure while the other could alter one’s appearance, making them the most suitable for stealthy acts.
Yang Kai wasn’t unfamiliar with the Seven Skillful Land. After all, he had lived here for a long time, he was familiar with the market city and Fire Spiritual Land. But he had never been to the other six Spirit Provinces.
After determining the direction, he headed straight towards the Earth Spiritual Land.
Inside the Earth Spiritual Land, the Ouyang Brothers led a group of disciples to patrol their territory. The Seven Skillful Land had Seven Spirit Provinces, and now, in addition to the Chief Manager, there were only five people left in Scarlet Star. According to Chen Tian Fei’s instructions, each of them would take charge of a piece of Spirit Province, and everything in the Spirit Province would be managed by them. However, the Ouyang Brothers’ situation was special, and they had always been inseparable, so the two of them only wanted a piece of Spirit Province.
From now on, this Earth Spiritual Land was the territory of the two brothers. The Ouyang Brothers were also quite excited. After cultivating for so many years, they had never been able to control such a large piece of land. As they patrolled, they chatted and fantasized about their future.
As they were speaking, the two of them suddenly turned their heads towards a certain direction and saw a stream of light rapidly approaching, transforming into a young man with a white complexion.
The Ouyang Brothers were stunned for a moment, because this person looked very unfamiliar, as if they had never seen him before.
However, before they could think about it carefully, the man cupped his fists and said, “Sirs, Manager Chen has sent a message. Please take a look!”
Saying so, he handed over a jade slip with both hands.
Ouyang Lie frowned, somewhat dissatisfied, “What is Chen Tian Fei up to now?” He stretched out his hand to grab the jade slip.
Ouyang Bing frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was. While he was hesitating, Ouyang Lie took the jade slip and poured his Divine Sense into it.
At this moment, a terrifying aura suddenly filled the air. This aura was so terrifying that even a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage like the Ouyang Brothers felt a chill run down their spines, causing the other disciple’s faces to pale.
“Holy Spirit!” Ouyang Bing exclaimed.
This aura belonged to the Holy Spirit, and it was actually Zhu Jiu Yin’s aura.
This was a trap! Ouyang Bing’s hair stood on end as he finally understood the source of this problem.
However, before he could react, two figures appeared out of nowhere. Both of them were women, one of them lifting her palm and lightly striking towards Ouyang Lie’s chest while the other brandished a cold sword, transforming it into a sword light that covered the sky as it fell towards Ouyang Bing.
At the same time, two giant creatures appeared, one of them spitting out raging flames towards the group from Scarlet Star while the other opened its mouth, releasing a foul smelling viscous liquid that corroded the air.
The aura of World Force rippled.
With a light cracking sound, Ouyang Lie’s eyes bulged and his chest caved in.
If he had been careless, Yue He’s palm strike would have taken his life. After all, the two of them were one level apart in terms of strength. Under normal circumstances, Ouyang Lie would not have been Yue He’s opponent, not to mention that he was first threatened by the Holy Spirit aura and then ambushed.
However, after being struck by Yue He’s palm, Ouyang Lie still hadn’t died. The vitality of a Fourth Order Open Heaven was tenacious, so it wasn’t easy to kill.
At this moment, a Dragon Roar rang out as a long spear appeared behind Yue He. Using the cover of Yue He’s figure, the spear pierced through from her shoulder and stabbed into Ouyang Lie’s head.
With a loud bang, Ouyang Lie’s head exploded and blood spurted from his neck.
“Big Brother!” Ouyang Bing roared, her eyes turning red.
The two brothers had been together since they were born and had never separated for so many years, but now, his big brother had been killed right in front of his eyes.
Ouyang Bing was enraged!
In his anger, he lost control of his state of mind, Lu Xue flew with a long sword, and the sword stayed in the vital position. In a moment, Ouyang Bing spurted blood all over his body, not knowing how many swords strike he was hit with.
