After a while, the Proprietress's face sank, obviously unable to communicate smoothly.
At this time, the huge palace also arrived in front of everyone and stopped. Yang Kai looked up and was shocked.
From a distance, one could tell that this palace was incomparably huge, but now that they were close enough, he realized that it really was a giant.
The Lotus Fall wasn’t small, after all, it could accommodate dozens or even hundreds of people, but when it landed in front of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven’s palace treasure, it was like a small blade of grass compared to a large tree.
This palace was at least ten times the size of the Lotus Flower, and as a huge shadow fell down, it completely enveloped the lotus flower, making it impossible to see any light. In front of the main palace, there was a plaque with the words “Five Elements Palace” written on it, shining brilliantly.
On the front steps of Five Elements Palace, three people stood side by side, two men and one woman. One of them was indeed Senior Brother Guo, whom Yang Kai had met at the auction house.
At this moment, Senior Brother Guo squeezed out an awkward smile towards the Proprietress, feeling somewhat helpless.
In addition to him, there was also a half-grown old man, thin, with a withered face, his wide robes fluttering in the wind, with a dignified expression on his face. The other woman was a beautiful woman, small and delicate, with a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed capable of stealing one’s soul.
Yang Kai couldn’t tell what the cultivation of these three people was, he only knew that Senior Brother Guo was on par with the Proprietress and was undoubtedly a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator. Even so, this trip to Xuanyuan Cave Heaven didn’t seem to be led by him because he and the beautiful woman were standing on either side of the old man.
From such an obvious position, it was obvious that this old man’s status in the Xuanyuan Cave Heaven was higher than Senior Brother Guo and the beautiful woman.
Yang Kai was shocked. This Senior Brother Guo was already a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, could it be that this half-grown old man was a Seventh Order? But that wasn’t the case. Although Blood Monster Cave Heaven was extremely important, it was still a grand event that had swept through the 3000 Worlds. Almost all of the big and small forces would participate in this event, and the various Cave Heaven Paradise were no exception. However, how could a High Rank Open Heaven cultivator exhaust himself in this kind of event?
One had to know that the Golden Crow Divine Palace incident had only attracted a few High Rank Open Heaven masters.
Just as Yang Kai was becoming suspicious, the Proprietress bowed and said, “First inn’s Lan Youruo greets Elder Chu.” She then nodded slightly towards the beautiful woman, “Junior Sister Han.”
As for Senior Brother Guo, he was mercilessly ignored by her.
Junior Sister Han returned the greeting and called out in a soft voice, “Senior Sister Lan!” Her pair of beautiful eyes glanced towards Old Bai and Yue He with interest, especially Yue He, causing her to take a closer look.
The Proprietress nodded and turned to Elder Chu, “The opening of Blood Monster Cave Heaven is imminent, may I ask why Elder Chu is here?”
Elder Chu’s voice was dry, as if he had never drunk water since he was born, “Don’t you know why this old master came here? Why do you need to ask the obvious?”
The Proprietress said lightly, “Please explain, Elder.”
On the side, Senior Brother Guo coughed lightly and said, “It’s like this, Junior Sister Lan. You should know how far away the Sect is from here. Although Elder Chu and the others calculated the time and set out on time, they should have arrived at the Blood Monster Territory half a month ago, but they encountered some trouble along the way and were delayed for quite some time. They only arrived today, so… it’s a bit late.”
“And?” The Proprietress glanced at him.
Senior Brother Guo scratched his head and said, “We came too late, we really couldn’t find a suitable location. This Blood Mosnter Cave Heaven has attracted too many people, and now the entire Blood Monster Cave Heaven is filled with people.”
The Proprietress rolled up her sleeves, “What does this have to do with me?”
Senior Brother Guo smiled awkwardly and was about to say something when Elder Chu, who was standing in the middle, raised his hand and stopped him. Looking at the Proprietress, he said, “This old master won’t beat around the bush with you. Let’s be frank with each other. Right now, the Sect cannot find a suitable location, so this old master hopes that you can give up this place and allow the Sect to settle down here.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai was immediately enraged and blurted out, “Why?”
Although this piece of territory had been snatched by the Proprietress and the others from Boundless Altar, there was a reason for this. Whether it was the Proprietress or Old Bai, both of them had enmity with Boundless Altar. If it weren’t for this, the Proprietress and the others wouldn’t have bullied the weak and robbed their territory. Along the way, there were many places they could rob, so the Proprietress and the others didn’t act recklessly.
But now, this old man surnamed Chu had just spoken a few words and actually wanted to make the First Inn give up its position. Wasn’t this simply bullying? Not to mention, from beginning to end, this old man surnamed Chu had been acting all high and mighty, speaking with an unquestionable tone, as if someone else owed him something. It really made people unhappy.
Yang Kai couldn’t help thinking about what Senior Brother Guo had said at the trade fair. There were also people in Xuanyuan Cave Heaven who disliked the Proprietress, so it seemed that Elder Chu was one of them.
Old Bai's face sank when he heard this.
Elder Chu glanced at Yang Kai indifferently but didn’t say anything. In his opinion, with his status, there was no need for him to explain himself to the Emperor Realm, so he simply looked at the Proprietress and exerted pressure on her.
The Proprietress was obviously a bit annoyed, but she suppressed her anger and said, “Although there are many people in Blood Monster Territory right now, with Elder Chu’s strength and prestige, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to obtain a piece of territory, right? Why would he take a fancy to my place?”
Elder Chu lightly said, “It’s true that if this old master and the others really wanted to, it would be easy for them to occupy a piece of territory. I believe no one would dare to act against the Sect. However, if we were to act like this, wouldn’t the Sect have to bear the reputation of bullying the weak? At that time, the Sect’s reputation will definitely be tarnished!”
Yang Kai angrily said, “Stealing someone else’s territory is bullying the weak, so you want to take advantage of your own family? For the sake of your so-called reputation, you want to ruin your own family’s interests? What kind of logic is that?”
Elder Chu and Senior Brother Guo both frowned and glanced at Yang Kai unhappily.
As for the young man who had been standing behind Elder Chu, he immediately jumped out and rebuked, “Elders, how dare this little Emperor Realm speak so arrogantly?”
This young man had been standing behind Elder Chu all this time and hadn’t said a word, but his bearing was quite extraordinary. It was obvious that he was an elite disciple of Xuanyuan Cave Heaven. Yang Kai had interrupted him twice, Elder Chu’s status was quite high, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to say anything, but Yang Kai didn’t care.
Yang Kai glanced over and curled his lips, “Such big words, I thought it was some High Rank Open Heaven, but it turns out it’s just an Emperor Realm.”
The young man coldly snorted and said disdainfully, “My Emperor Realm an other Emperor Realm are also different. Today, you and I are both Emperor Realm. When the day comes when I’m in the clouds and you’re in the mud, I’ll see if you still dare to speak to me like this.”
Yang Kai sneered, “Then you can pray now that you don’t run into me in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, otherwise I’ll beat you up!”
The young man laughed, “This is the first time I’ve seen such a crazy Emperor Realm master. You should enter Blood Monster Cave Heaven first, you might not even have a chance to enter.”
Yang Kai nodded repeatedly, “Don’t worry, even if you can’t enter, I can.”
In front of a group of Mid Rank Open Heaven masters, the two Emperor Realm were engaged in a heated argument, neither showing any signs of weakness.
Senior Brother Guo couldn’t bear to listen any longer and looked at the Proprietress with a distressed expression, “Junior Sister take care of your people.”
The Proprietress calmly asked, “Senior Brother, why don’t you take care of your people first?”
Elder Chu spoke up, “What are you arguing about, stop arguing.” The expression on his face, which had remained calm all this time, also showed some anger. Looking at the Proprietress, he said, “You don’t have many people on your First Inn, so why do you need to occupy such a big place? The Sect has sent many people here this time, and they came a bit late. The Blood Monster Cave Heaven may open at any time, so there’s no time to look for other places. If you still remember the Sect’s kindness, you should sacrifice yourself for the Sect.”
The Proprietress coldly replied, “The one who showed me kindness is the old man, what does that have to do with your Xuanyuan Cave Heaven?”
Elder Chu said, “The old man you speak of is an Elder of my Xuanyuan Cave Heaven. Whether you admit it or not, you have received the favor of my Sect.”
“That’s just your wishful thinking,” The Proprietress snorted disdainfully, “Besides, who says I don’t have many people on my First Inn? We naturally have our reasons for occupying such a large piece of territory. If we give it to you, what will happen to my subordinates? Since it’s still early, I advise you to hurry up and find a place. Perhaps you’ll be able to find some ownerless territory. If you’re late, it’ll really be too late.”
Elder Chu’s face became extremely ugly, “You insist?”
Senior Brother Guo stood up and said, “The two of you should stop talking. I think it’s better this way. There’s no need to chased away the First Inn. Our two families share this place, and this place is quite big. If the Blood Mosnter Cave Heaven opens, there should be many entrances. When the time comes, we’ll let these little brats enter with their own abilities. Those who can’t seize the opportunity shouldn’t have any complaints.”
“Impossible!” The Proprietress flatly refused. The First Inn snatched this place first. Although Yang Kai had said before that he could use the Mysterious Small World to bring everyone in, and he only needed to snatch an entrance, she still couldn’t swallow this insult. Why did Xuanyuan Cave Heaven have to share it with her? If the old man were to appear, she would have nothing to say, but this Elder Chu had always disliked her, so she didn’t want to let this old man have an easy time.
“Sure!” Yang Kai nodded in agreement as soon as she refused.
The Proprietress turned her head and saw Yang Kai winking at her with a sneaky look.
Senior Brother Guo hesitated for a moment before asking, “Junior Sister, does this boy’s words… count? Do you want to discuss?”
The Proprietress thought about it for a moment before nodding, “Since he said he can, then he has the final say. However, let’s make things clear first. When they fight for the entrance, if anyone dares to interfere, don’t blame this old lady for turning hostile!”
