The nearby cultivators briefly discussed the situation between Yun Xinghua and this Startled Goose Territory before changing the subject. But there was no more valuable information.
Yang Kai raised his glass and slowly shook his head.
From the conversation between these two, Yun Xinghua seemed to be the leader of Blood Goose Continent, and Blood Goose Continent was the force where Guo Ziyan’s daughter lived.
Originally, Yun Xinghua’s aptitude was quite good and he had a chance of directly breaking through to the Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage. Unfortunately, under the suppression of Startled Goose Pavilion, he had no choice but to break through to the Third Order. After spending fifty years accumulating his strength, he went into seclusion for a dozen years before finally breaking through to the Fourth Order.
Although he was still a few decades late, he had still reached the Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage. However, if a cultivator’s starting point was different, their future growth was also different.
If Yun Xinghua could directly reach the Fourth Order, his limit in the future would be Sixth Order, but now, his limit was only Fifth Order.
Although it was only one level gap, this one level gap was like the difference between clolud and mud. When Yue He was a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, she was completely helpless against the Sixth Order Proprietress.
Now that she had also broken through to the Sixth Order, Lu Xue, a Fifth Order, would not be able to last more than ten breaths under her.
When one was under the roof, they had no choice but to lower their heads. This Yun Xinghua was born at the wrong time, it was truly a pity.
Yang Kai couldn’t help thinking about himself.
The Proprietress had told him before that if he wanted to directly achieve High Rank Open Heaven, he would have to face many dangers. It was impossible for those Cave Heaven Paradise to just sit back and watch, they would definitely suppress him, otherwise, if he directly reached High Rank Open Heaven, his growth rate would be too terrifying. Since ancient times, the only ones who had the qualifications to directly achieve High Rank Open Heaven in these 3000 Worlds had always been the disciples who had been raised in the Cave Heaven Paradise. These people had a natural advantage and were loyal to their respective Sects, so those Cave Heaven Paradise naturally wouldn’t worry about them overturning their own ruling position.
Yang Kai was different. He had nothing to do with any Cave Heaven Paradise, so naturally he would not receive any protection.
Now, it seemed that suppressing others was not a rare thing in the entire universe. Just the Startled Goose Territory alone had Yun Xinghua's situation, what about the other Great Domain?
The matter of Yang Kai condensing his Seventh Grade Force was no secret. He had displayed his Divine Ability Manifestation many times in the Great Ruins Boundary and had a good relationship with several disciples from the Cave Heaven Paradise. After the Great Ruins Boundary closed, those people had all returned to their respective Sects, so their masters would definitely ask about the various things in the Great Ruins Boundary.
Although these people were grateful to Yang Kai for saving their lives in the Great Ruins Boundary, if they wanted to cover up for him, it was unlikely they could do so for long.
Therefore, Yang Kai estimated that he had already been targeted by some of the Cave Heaven Paradise, and it was unknown when Yun Xinghua’s suppression situation would arrive to him.
This made him feel a sense of urgency, as if time was running out for him. Unfortunately, the resources above the Seventh Grade were too scarce, and he still lacked the Gold Element and Yin-Yang Elements, he had no idea where to find them.
He hoped the Proprietress would give him some guidance.
Yue He seemed to have noticed Yang Kai’s depression and silently poured a cup of wine.
After waiting in this Star City for six or seven days, Guo Ziyan still hadn’t returned, making Yang Kai feel that something was wrong.
He had previously checked the Universe Chart and found that Blood Goose Continent wasn’t too far from the Star City. With Guo Ziyan’s current speed, it would take him three or four days to travel back and forth, so how could he have been delayed for so long?
Moreover, Guo Ziyan also knew that Yang Kai was waiting for him, so if he was delayed, he would definitely ask someone to report to him.
Now that there was no news of him and he had disappeared, could something have happened?
With this thought in mind, Yang Kai no longer waited and instead brought Yue He back to the Lotus Fall, let everyone control the Lotus Fall and fly towards Blood Goose Continent.
After flying for less than half a day, Yue He, who was standing next to Yang Kai, suddenly turned her head in a certain direction, a look of surprise appearing on her face.
Yang Kai followed her gaze and saw that far away, there was a Spirit Province, but there were no signs of a Spirit Province being covered by a Spirit Array. It should be an ownerless Spirit Province.
There were many of these Spirit Provinces throughout the entire 3000 Worlds, scattered throughout the Void, but because their foundations weren’t deep, the slightly stronger forces weren’t interested in them. On the other hand, some Open Heaven Stage cultivators who weren’t very strong liked to occupy these Spirit Provinces and establish their own sects, slowly developing them. If they managed these Spirit Provinces well, perhaps many years later, these Spirit Provinces would become the headquarters of a third or second class force.
“Young Master, there are people fighting over there,” Yue He observed seriously for a while before suddenly speaking.
This is very common in the world, countless people fighting each other every day, and every day, countless people would die. This kind of battle was very common.
However, encountering a battle in this direction caused Yang Kai to frown and couldn’t help thinking of Guo Ziyan who had been away for a long time. Turning to Lang Qingshan, he said, “Contact Commander Guo and see if you can contact him.”
Receiving the order, Lang Qingshan immediately took out the communication bead he used to communicate with Guo Ziyan and poured his Divine Sense into it. A moment later, he looked up and said, “Sir, Commander Guo is currently being besieged, the situation is quite bad.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai flew into a rage, “Who dares!”
There was no doubt that one of the people fighting on the Spirit Province was undoubtedly Guo Ziyan!
Without needing Yang Kai’s instructions, Lang Qingshan and the others immediately flew towards the Spirit Province while constantly using their communication beads to contact Guo Ziyan.
Unfortunately, he didn’t get any response, it was likely that the situation on Guo Ziyan’s side was really bad, otherwise he wouldn’t have been unable to even reply.
The Spirit Province seemed far away, but the speed at which the Lotus Fall fly is also extremely fast.
In less than an incense stick’s worth of time, they had arrived at the outskirts of the Spirit Province. With a flash, Yang Kai and Yue He arrived outside the Lotus Fall. Looking around, their faces couldn’t help darkening.
On the Spirit Province, Guo Ziyan was protecting a woman as he retreated, his body dripping with blood and his aura unstable. Obviously, he had suffered heavy injuries.
The clothes on his chest were in tatters, and there was a bloody wound on his waist. Flesh and blood were all over his body, and one could vaguely see his squirming internal organs. As he continued to retreat, he left behind a trail of blood.
The woman he was protecting behind him was only an Emperor Realm cultivator, her appearance was somewhat similar to Guo Ziyan’s. Although she didn’t have the beauty of a country toppling beauty, she was still tall and slender.
There were two streaks of tears on her cheeks that hadn’t yet dried up, causing others to feel pity for her. Her beautiful eyes were filled with panic and worry. Although she wanted to help, her strength was too low, so she couldn’t help in this kind of battle and instead dragged down Guo Ziyan.
There were four people besieging Guo Ziyan and two corpses lying on the ground. These four people had many injuries, but all of them were light injuries.
One of them exuded the aura of a Third Order Open Heaven Stage while the other three were Second Order.
Being able to kill two enemies while fighting one against six, Guo Ziyan had also put his life on the line, but at this moment, he was obviously at the end of his rope, the World Force leaking from his body fluctuating indeterminately, and the strength he could display was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, not at its peak.
On the other hand, the four of them acted despicably and shamelessly. They were already fighting with numbers, and now they were attacking the woman behind Guo Ziyan, forcing him to divert most of his attention to protect her.
When Yang Kai and Yue He appeared, they just happened to see the Third Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator take advantage of Guo Ziyan’s carelessness and smash his hammer into his shoulder. With a loud crack, Guo Ziyan’s left shoulder instantly drooped, as if his shoulder blade had been smashed into pieces.
“Bastard!” Yang Kai shouted angrily. As the Golden Crow let out a cry, a golden sun appeared behind him and a scorching hot energy burst out as the Golden Crow Sun Casting appeared once more.
Dragon Roar shook the sky as Yang Kai summoned his Azure Dragon Spear. Taking a step forward, he raised his spear and thrust it towards the Third Order Open Heaven Stage.
Before the long spear arrived, a black Golden Crow's True Fire wrapped around it, seemingly capable of incinerating anything.
At the same time he attacked, Yue He also summoned a fragrant caltrop, which transformed into a soft whip and lashed out towards the others. The World Force fluctuated wildly as the aura of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master enveloped the entire battlefield.
The four Open Heaven Stage masters who were besieging Guo Ziyan didn’t expect such an unforeseen event to occur. Sensing the majesty of Yue He’s Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage, all of their expressions changed drastically as they felt their strength become sluggish, as if they had fallen into a swamp.
Pa pa pa…
A light sound rang out as the three Second Order Open Heaven Stage exploded into dust and disappeared without a trace.
Another muffled groan rang out as Yang Kai’s spear pierced through the chest of the remaining Third Order Open Heaven Stage, piercing through his chest.
When he pulled out his spear, blood splashed and a huge hole appeared in his chest.
The Third Order Open Heaven Stage's body stiffened and his eyes bulged as he staggered a few steps forward, trying his best to look back, but before he could even fully turn around, he fell to the ground with a thud, his vitality completely drained.
Four Low Rank Open Heaven masters were as insignificant as ants in front of Yue He, a newly promoted Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator. If not for Yue He’s aura suppressing the Third Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to kill him so easily.
“Puff…” Guo Ziyan spat out a mouthful of blood and half-kneeled on the ground, gasping for breath as the sound of a dilapidated bellows being pulled rang out.
Yang Kai quickly walked towards him.
The woman he had been protecting suddenly jumped out, with a long sword in her hand. Although her face was pale, she firmly stood in front of Guo Ziyan, clenching her teeth and asking, “Who are you?”
Seeing Yang Kai and Yue He kill people like flies, she was naturally frightened.
Guo Ziyan gasped, “Miao’er, don’t be rude! This is the Lord I mentioned to you before.”
The woman was stunned for a moment before quickly putting away her sword and kneeling down in front of Yang Kai, crying, “Sir, please save my father.”
Yang Kai lifted her up and comforted her, “Don’t panic, with me here, your father won’t die!”
Glancing at Yue He, Yue He immediately stepped forward to examine Guo Ziyan’s injuries. A moment later, she took out a Spirit Pill and fed it to him, saying, “Although Commander Guo’s injuries aren’t light, there is no danger to his life. It’s just that he has lost too much blood and consumed too much energy, he should be fine after a few days of rest.”
