She wasn’t completely ignorant of Yang Kai’s experiences over the years, and on the way here, she had already asked Lu Xue about it. Lu Xue didn’t try to hide much, since Yang Kai had asked the Proprietress for help, it meant that he trusted her and had revealed a lot of information about the Great Ruins Boundary.
It was not surprising that the Proprietress knew about Zhu Jiu Yin’s existence.
Yang Kai nodded solemnly.
The Proprietress asked, “Is she reliable?”
Zhu Jiu Yin is a Holy Spirity Heavenly Moon Demon Spider, an existence equivalent to a High Rank Open Heaven master. Facing such a powerful master, the Lady Boss felt a great deal of pressure. If she couldn’t be trusted, he would be in big trouble.
Yang Kai transmitted his voice, “Proprietress, don’t worry, that woman swore on her own Source, she won't joke about it.”
“Good.” The Proprietress nodded slightly. The Source of the Holy Spirit and the Dao Seal of a cultivator were both their own foundation, so they wouldn’t easily make such an oath. If they were to violate this oath, they would definitely suffer irreparable damage.
Turning around, she sat down on a chair and rested her chin on her hand as she smiled, “Tell me about what happened in the Great Ruins Boundary.”
She had only heard of the Great Ruins Boundary before and had never been fated to enter it. To the cultivators of the 3000 Worlds, this Secret Realm was a legendary existence, so she was naturally very curious about it.
She wanted to know, and Yang Kai had nothing to hide, so he sat down and began explaining.
Hearing that Yue He had captured him and was preparing to take him to Cuiwei Palace Palace, the Proprietress coldly snorted. After that, they had inadvertently been swept into the mist of the Great Ruins Boundary in the Star City, causing a look of worry to appear on her face.
Although Yang Kai had escaped and returned safely, he must have experienced many dangers.
Over ten years in the Great Ruins Boundary, after resisting the Beast Tide at the very beginning and barely surviving, he had taken in the Earth Dragon, Scarlet Flood Dragon, taken over Scarlet Star City, Yuan Magnetic Mountain, fought the Thunder Light and Sword Pavilion, and became famous.
Outside the Star City, Yang Kai had comprehended the Divine Ability Manifestation and single-handedly slaughtered thousands of people from Thunder Light and Sword Pavilion, establishing himself as an invincible force.
Together with a few disciples from the Cave Heaven Paradise, they headed out to the sea to fight the Sea Race, fleeing for their lives under the hands of the Leviathan Shark while Zhu Jiu Yin hid in Star City and chose him as the Bearer.
After the opening of the Unaging Land, many Bearer fought with their wits and courage while Yang Kai took the lead. After leaving the Unaging Land, another life and death struggle ensued…
In short, the past ten years had been extremely exciting and dangerous!
While Yang Kai was explaining, Bai Qi also walked in and stood behind the Proprietress, listening attentively with a fascinated look on his face, wishing he could take his place and experience the wonders of the Great Ruins Boundary.
The Proprietress had been smiling the whole time, but her smile was obviously filled with deep worry.
Yang Kai didn’t notice, but intentionally or unintentionally exaggerated Yue He’s contributions, telling the Proprietress that if it weren’t for Yue He’s help in the Great Ruins Boundary, he wouldn’t have achieved what he had today.
The Proprietress smiled but didn’t say anything. How could she not know what he was thinking?
Seeing her remain silent, Yang Kai could only helplessly call out, “After so much talk, Proprietress should drink some water.”
Outside the hall, Yue He lowered her head and walked in with a cup of fragrant tea, pouring a cup of tea for the Proprietress and Yang Kai before lowering her head and standing in front of the Proprietress with an obedient look.
Yang Kai picked up his cup and used the excuse of drinking tea to observe her expression, only to see the indifferent expression on her face.
Helpless, he could only give Old Bai a look.
Old Bai understood and put on a relieved expression, saying, “Proprietress, didn't you always teach this little one. The road is under your feet, so you must look forward. Let bygones be bygones, the things you can’t let go will only become burdens!”
The Proprietress took a sip of her tea and threw the blanket on the table, causing the tea to splash out, “I don’t need your small words!”
Bai Qi grinned and said, “Yes, yes, yes, small words, I should slap myself.” Saying so, he gently slapped his own mouth twice, his appearance like a dog slave, causing Yang Kai to be dumbfounded.
The Proprietress coldly snorted, “You escaped death and lived a stable life for more than ten years. I’m afraid you’ve forgotten who it was that put you in danger. If it weren’t for Yang Kai saving you, how could you still be alive? I’m afraid your soul would have long since scattered.”
Hearing this, Bai Qi said solemnly, “Whoever has a grudge with this little one, this little one will remember and not dare forget. Proprietress has also taught us that if there is kindness, we must repay it. If there is hatred, then this little one will take revenge for that day!”
Saying so, he suddenly shouted at Yue He, “Yue He, that day, you and Qi Jin ruined my path of advancement, nearly killing me. This hatred is absolutely irreconcilable. Today, I will kill you to repay the favor!”
He raised his hand and sent a palm strike towards Yue He, the aura of World Force filling the air.
This palm was merciless.
Yang Kai turned pale with fright and quickly shouted, “Old Bai, stop!”
However, Bai Qi was now a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage master, so even though he had only recently broken through, he was still not someone Yang Kai could contend with. By the time he reacted, Bai Qi’s palm had already landed firmly on Yue He’s shoulder.
Yue He let out a muffled groan as the sound of bones breaking rang out from her shoulder and she flew backwards like a ragdoll, the World Force wreaking havoc in her body. In mid-air, she spat out a mouthful of blood before falling heavily to the ground.
With a single palm strike, Bai Qi retracted his hand and stood behind the Proprietress, grinning as he said, “Proprietress, I’ve already taken my revenge, but unfortunately, this little one’s cultivation wasn’t enough and couldn’t kill her. Sigh, it’s still the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage who has been promoted for many years, it really is extraordinary.”
He sighed as if he was truly lacking in ability.
The Proprietress's face was ashen as she clenched her fists tightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yue He as she sent out her Divine Sense.
Yang Kai rushed over to Yue He’s side and pulled her up, asking nervously, “How are you?”
Although his cultivation wasn’t high enough to stop Bai Qi, he had seen the scene just now. When Bai Qi attacked, Yue He didn’t try to resist at all. It wasn’t that her reaction wasn’t fast enough, but rather that she didn’t even think about resisting.
Yue He slowly shook her head, indicating that she was fine, gently pushing Yang Kai away and glancing at Bai Qi gratefully.
She knew that Bai Qi had held back with this palm strike, otherwise, at the same cultivation level, Bai Qi would have been able to take her life without any resistance.
Although this palm strike made her look extremely miserable, the truth was that she hadn’t suffered any serious injuries and would only need half a month to recover.
Seeing this, Yang Kai didn’t try to force her any further, quickly coming to his senses.
Just as Bai Qi had said before, Yue He had colluded with Qi Jin and the others to ruin his path of advancement. Such a great enmity could be said to be irreconcilable. If she couldn’t pass this trial, how could the Proprietress show any mercy to Yue He? If she really did so, it would only make Bai Qi's heart go cold.
Not taking Yue He’s life as soon as she saw her was already an act of nostalgia.
Now that Bai Qi had personally dealt with this grudge, the rest of the matter was easy to handle.
Seeing the anxious look on the Proprietress's face, it was obvious that she was worried about Yue He’s injuries. Seeing that she was fine, her tightly clenched fists relaxed.
Yue He wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and walked over to the Proprietress, kneeling down with her head lowered, her beautiful hair covering her eyes as she called out softly, “Elder Sister…”
The Proprietress's red lips moved slightly, her voice as cold as steel, “From the time you conspired with Qi Jin and the others to kill me, our sisterly relationship has been over. From now on, don’t call me sister, I don’t have a sister like you.”
Yue He’s tender body trembled as tears streamed down her face, “I was wrong, I was wrong!”
“It’s your own path, there’s no right or wrong,” The Proprietress slowly shook her head, “I won’t pursue Old Bai’s matter for now, he’s still a lucky man, but don’t forget the oath this Queen made in the Locking Yang Land!”
Hearing this, Yue He’s body suddenly trembled.
Yang Kai’s expression also became solemn.
What he was most worried about had happened!
Back in the Locking Yang Land, there were a few people who had joined forces with Yue He. In addition to the Golden Rainbow Province’s Qi Jin, who was a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, there was also Boundless Altar's Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage Ling Chunqiu, Wind and Cloud Auction House’s Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage Old Xu, and finally, there was also the Unthinking Heaven's Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage, Hai Pingle.
Among them, Old Xu had been killed by Yang Kai’s last Golden Plume Feather and his soul had long since scattered.
At that time, when she saw that Old Bai’s breakthrough had failed and there was nothing she could do to save him, the Proprietress had sworn a heart demon oath.
“In this life, if I don’t kill all of you, or trample your family's Headquarter, I swear I won’t break through to the Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage!”
This was also the act to avenge Old Bai.
Such an oath was no small matter, and once it was established, there was no other solution. In other words, if the Proprietress couldn’t accomplish this, she would have no hope of reaching the Seventh Order.
At that time, this oath was related to the three of them, Qi Jin, Ling Chunqiu, and Yue He! Hai Pingle was the last to appear, so this oath had nothing to do with him.
In other words, if the Proprietress wanted to advance to the Seventh Order, these three families would be her stumbling blocks and she would have to kick them away.
Yue He naturally wouldn’t forget, so when the Proprietress said this, she knew there was no room for negotiation.
Lowering her head and kowtowing, Yue He softly said, “I don’t dare to obstruct Elder Sister’s path to promotion. Little Sister thanks Elder Sister for the kindness of raising me all those years ago.”
Looking up at Yang Kai again, her eyes filled with apology.
Yang Kai felt something was wrong and shouted, “What are you doing?”
The World Force burst out and swept Yang Kai to the side. Yue He raised her hand and fiercely slapped her forehead.
Bai Qi couldn’t help being moved. He hadn’t expected Yue He to be so decisive. In order to not hinder the Proprietress's advancement, she had actually decided to commit suicide here. Perhaps she also knew that the Proprietress wouldn’t try to kill her. The oath she had sworn back then had only been out of anger, so she hadn’t considered the consequences. If she wanted to remove the oath now, Yue He would be an obstacle.
Yang Kai’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he madly activated his Space Laws, but Yue He was a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage master, so how could he break through?
However, this palm didn’t land. The Proprietress appeared in front of Yue He like a ghost and grabbed her wrist, staring down at her with a complicated expression.
Yue He looked up, tears streaming down her face, her eyes filled with sadness.
