Even so, no one knew what kind of situation the Proprietress was in, so Yang Kai still felt somewhat uneasy.
The injuries on Old Bai’s body had already been healed by his Wood Element Force, and he had also taken a lot of spirit pills and medicines, so all he needed to do now was slowly recuperate. Right now, the problem he was facing was the unstable fluctuations of the small universe in his body, but that could only be resolved with the Star Gathering Universe Pill.
Leaving Yue He to look after Old Bai, Yang Kai left the room and sent a message to Mo Mei to ask about the situation. Soon, Mo Mei replied that the Star Gathering Universe Pill was currently being refined. As for when it would be successfully refined, she didn’t know, but once the pill was successfully refined, she would send it back to the Void Land to Yang Kai.
Closing the communication with Mo Mei, Yang Kai stood atop Spirit Peak and stared at the sea of clouds, his thoughts fluctuating as he sorted out his chaotic thoughts.
The Proprietress' crisis this time was because someone wanted to draw him out of the Void Land, but in the face of such a situation, he really didn’t have any good solution. Unless he became a coward, but he couldn’t just sit back and watch.
However, if he really rushed out of the Void Land like this, he would only be able to let some people’s scheme succeed.
Pondering for a moment, Yang Kai’s expression gradually became firm, his figure flickered, and he suddenly disappeared.
By the time he reappeared, he had already arrived outside a large hall. The outside of the hall was protected by layers of restrictions, a place that no outsider was allowed to set foot in. Even the many Open Heaven Stage masters in the Void Land had to take a detour around this place.
This was the place where Zhu Jiu Yin cultivated in seclusion.
Facing the hall, Yang Kai cupped his fists and shouted, “Senior, this little brat Yang Kai requests an audience!”
There was no response.
Yang Kai said, “Senior, I have an urgent matter to attend to, please show yourself!”
After calling out three times, Zhu Jiu Yin still did not respond.
Yang Kai was extremely annoyed. Although she was isolated by the restriction, with Zhu Jiu Yin’s strength, she definitely knew that Yang Kai had come and heard his words, but now she was not showing herself. What was the meaning of this? Since arriving in this Void Land, Zhu Jiu Yin had been living in seclusion. Except for the time when the Hundred Force Alliance invaded, she had basically never shown herself.
Normally, with Zhu Jiu Yin’s attitude, Yang Kai wouldn’t force her to do anything, but now that this matter concerned the Proprietress, he had no choice but to offend her.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Kai raised his hand and summoned his Azure Dragon Spear, pointing it forward. With a single thought, the Nine Layers Heaven Formation was activated, causing the entire Void Land to tremble.
It had been two or three years since he last activated the Nine Layers Heaven Formation. In such a short time, the Nine Layers Heaven Formation had not gathered much energy, but it was enough to support Yang Kai’s activation of the Great Array once.
A resounding dragon roar resounded through the sky, and as the Dragon’s Prestige spread out, the Azure Dragon Spear suddenly transformed into a thousand zhang dragon, shaking its head and tail as it stared at the great hall in front of it, brandishing its fangs and brandishing its claws.
“Little brat, how dare you!” Zhu Jiu Yin’s voice exploded in Yang Kai’s ears, and soon after, the great hall’s restriction disappeared and a graceful figure appeared in Yang Kai’s vision.
Seeing this, Yang Kai quickly dispersed the power of the Great Array and the thousand zhang dragon collapsed, transforming back into the Azure Dragon Spear.
Zhu Jiu Yin looked at him angrily, “Little brat, what are you doing?”
Yang Kai’s face was slightly pale as he quickly gasped for breath and cupped his fists, “This is an emergency, please forgive me, Senior!”
Zhu Jiu Yin looked at him suspiciously and frowned when she saw his ugly expression.
The last time the Hundred Force Alliance had invaded, Yang Kai had been as steady as a mountain and hadn’t asked for any help. In the end, two High Rank masters had suddenly appeared and Yang Kai had taken the initiative to ask for help.
What had happened this time to make him so upset?
Realizing that this matter was not small, Zhu Jiu Yin snorted lightly, “Come in and talk.”
“Many thanks, Senior!” Yang Kai cupped his fists and followed Zhu Jiu Yin into the hall.
After taking their seats, Yang Kai looked around but didn’t see any trace of Shan Qingluo. Presumably, in her secluded cultivation, with the personal guidance of Zhu Jiu Yin, a Holy Spirit from the same lineage, there was no need for Yang Kai to worry about Shan Qingluo’s future cultivation.
“What is it?” Zhu Jiu Yin asked.
Yang Kai collected his thoughts and briefly explained what had happened to the Proprietress.
Hearing this, Zhu Jiu Yin thought about it for a moment before saying, “Boy, what kind of outrageous crime did you commit to provoke so many people to deal with you? Last time, the Hundred Force Alliance was one thing, but now, it’s clear that someone saw you slowly growing up, and with this Queen and that old turtle overseeing the Void Land, it won’t be easy to deal with, so they want to lure you out. As for that Lan Youruo you mentioned, she was only implicated by you.”
“Senior is right, someone wants to lead me out,” Yang Kai nodded.
Zhu Jiu Yin looked at him in amusement, “If you know this, why don’t you just stay here?”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “I must go.”
Since the mastermind had sent Old Bai to the Void Land to spread the news, it was clear they were targeting him. If he didn’t show up, the crisis with the Proprietress would definitely not be resolved. So even though Yang Kai knew that once he left the Void Land, he would be in grave danger, he had no choice but to step into someone else’s trap.
Zhu Jiu Yin looked him up and down, “I didn’t realize you were so stupid before.”
Yang Kai said in a low voice, “What time is it? Senior, please don’t joke around, this little brat is really anxious right now.”
Zhu Jiu Yin sneered, “What kind of bewitchment did that woman give you that made you risk your life to save her? Do you know that if something were to happen to you, Luo'er will take revenge for you? With her current meager cultivation, if she were to act rashly, she would simply die.”
Yang Kai said, “Proprietress has done me a great favor. Now that she’s in trouble, I can’t just sit back and watch.”
Zhu Jiu Yin sneered, “Idiot!” Suddenly frowning, she glanced sideways at Yang Kai, “Why did you come here and tell this Queen about this? I’m warning you, don’t even think about taking advantage of this Queen!”
Yang Kai said, “Since someone set up such a trap and waited for this little brat to fall into it, this little brat naturally can’t be completely unprepared. Right now, the only thing the Void Land can rely on is Senior, so I hope Senior can come with me!”
“In your dreams!” Zhu Jiu coldly snorted.
“Senior, don’t forget, you’re my Dao Protector, and you swore an oath with your Holy Spirit Source. This little brat’s life is in danger, so if I die here, your oath will come true!”
Zhu Jiu Yin chuckled lightly, “Is that so? How come this Queen remembers that there are many other terms in the oath, which don’t include you causing trouble outside and dying? Ha, go ahead, this Queen will wait in the Void Land for good news. When the news of your death comes back, this Queen will be free. Just thinking about it makes me happy.”
Yang Kai said bitterly, “Senior, I brought you out of the Great Ruins Boundary and escaped from that cage. Now that I’m in trouble, you can’t just sit back and watch!”
“When those two High Rank Open Heaven masters attacked you last time, did this Queen not help? This Queen is your Dao Protector, not your nanny. If you want to die, this Queen can’t stop you. Don’t mention this matter, this Queen won’t agree!” Zhu Jiu Yin waved his sleeve, “Hurry up and get lost, don’t try to act like you’re so unlucky in front of this Queen, you’ll only bring bad luck on yourself!”
A strong force pushed Yang Kai back.
Yang Kai grit his teeth and shouted, “If Senior can help me this time, after the Proprietress is safe and sound, Senior can fulfill the promise you made that day. From now on, Senior can regain her freedom!”
Zhu Jiu Yin paused for a moment, her beautiful eyes shining as she stared at him, “Is that true?”
Yang Kai gritted his teeth and said, “There’s absolutely no falsehood!”
Zhu Jiu Yin was obviously tempted. As long as she helped Yang Kai this time, she would be able to break the oath, which was a great temptation for her. Otherwise, being a Dao Protector for hundreds or thousands of years would be quite troublesome. This little brat in front of her wasn’t someone who would just sit back and wait for trouble to come. When that time came, she would have to help him clean up.
However, after pondering for a moment, Zhu Jiu Yin slowly shook his head, “It’s inappropriate!”
Yang Kai asked anxiously, “What’s wrong?”
Zhu Jiu Yin snorted, “Do you think all Holy Spirits are invincible? This Queen’s strength hasn’t fully recovered yet. Last time, someone had already probed this Queen’s depths, and now that they want to target you, it’s obvious they’ve taken this Queen into consideration, so even if this Queen agrees to your request and follows you, she will only be targeted by others. Perhaps… someone has set up a trap outside, waiting for this Queen to step into it!”
Saying so, Zhu Jiu Yin couldn’t help shuddering as she felt an inexplicable sense of crisis.
“Little brat, your words are so clever, I was almost deceived by you!” Zhu Jiu Yin was furious!
Yang Kai also said angrily, “Senior, why are you so heartless? You’re not even willing to help me with such a small favor!”
“Is this a small favor? Stop lying through your teeth, you want this Queen to gamble with her life.”
“Good!” Yang Kai gnashed his teeth, “Since Senior is unwilling to help, this little brat won’t force you. It’s just that this little brat’s life is hanging by a thread. If I really die, Luo'er will become a widow. At that time, you’ll see if Luo'er will hate you!”
“Despicable, bastard!” Zhu Jiu Yin’s face went pale with anger, “Scram!”
With a wave of her white hand, Yang Kai was immediately thrown out of the hall and was pushed back several times before he managed to stabilize himself.
Staring angrily at the hall where Zhu Jiu Yin was cultivating in seclusion, Yang Kai sighed heavily. Although he had just quarreled with Zhu Jiu Yin, this woman had refused his request, so Yang Kai had no right to blame her. Zhu Jiu Yin was right. Last time, they had already probed the depths of Zhu Jiu Yin’s strength, so this time they would definitely target her.
Even if Zhu Jiu Yin was by his side, the other party would likely have some means to deal with him. However, in the Void Land, the strongest people were her and Bi Xi. If Yang Kai wanted to save the Proprietress, he would need their help.
When Zhu Jiu Yin’s side bumped into a wall, Yang Kai turned his head towards Dragon Child Peak.
