After receiving this compliment, Tan Luoxing smiled flatteringly and said, “It is this subordinate’s duty to serve Divine Monarch, but he has several Open Heaven Stage masters with him. They haven’t taken action yet, so this subordinate can’t see through their cultivation, but they shouldn’t be pushovers.”
Black Crow sneered, “I’m just afraid their cultivation isn’t high enough. To this King, the higher one’s cultivation is, the better the taste of blood, en?” As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head towards a certain direction, obviously sensing something.
At the same time, a loud rumbling sound rang out from the other side, and a burst of World Force burst out, accompanied by a powerful and strange aura. It was obvious that the people responsible for keeping watch had taken action.
“Holy Spirit!” Black Crow's expression changed slightly as his eyes widened in disbelief. How could Yang Kai have a Holy Spirit accompanying him? Moreover, from the fluctuations of this Holy Spirit’s power, it was obviously an adult Holy Spirit. In other words, it was at least a Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage!
Black Crow’s face darkened. To him, the higher one’s cultivation was, the better the taste of blood was, and the more helpful it would be to him. However, he was still somewhat afraid of a single Holy Spirit. Although he currently had many powerful masters under him, and there were many Fifth and Sixth Order Open heaven Stage, he still had no advantage against a single Holy Spirit.
Although he was shocked, he wasn’t afraid. More than twenty Mid Rank Open Heaven masters were a force to be reckoned with, and if they really fought to the death, they should be able to fight to the death with the Holy Spirit.
Just as he was hesitating about whether he should retreat immediately, he suddenly heard a voice call out, “Black Crow, an old friend has come to visit, why don’t you show yourself?”
Hearing this voice, Black Crow wanted to kill him! This was clearly the voice of the little brat who had ruined his plans several times in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven. First, he had ruined his possession plan in the Blood Lake, then destroyed his plan to refine the Blood Monster Cave Heaven in the Blood Monster Divine Palace, forcing him to flee far away from Shattered Heaven, forcing him to live a miserable life. These days, whenever Black Crow thought of this little brat, he wanted nothing more than to skin him alive and eat his flesh.
He had sworn in his heart that when he recovered his former cultivation one day, he would search through the 3000 Worlds to find this boy and let him taste the cruel torture of the world. He had never expected to see him here today.
With his red eyes rolling, Black Crow waved his arm and shouted, “Let them come!”
He was well aware of his subordinates’ abilities. With a Holy Spirit accompanying him, if they really wanted to break through, there was no way he could stop them. Since he couldn’t, what was the point? He also wanted to know why Yang Kai had come to Shattered Heaven to find him.
The rumbling sounds immediately died down and the battle over there calmed down.
Not long after, under the watchful eyes of the many Mid Rank Open Heaven masters, Yang Kai stepped forward and led Yue He, Zhu Jiu Yin, and the others out, directly arriving in front of Black Crow.
Shua Shua Shua…
A number of hidden figures flew over and surrounded Yang Kai and the others from all directions!
On top of the small Shattered Spirit Province, there were about thirty Mid Rank Open Heaven masters, including a Holy Spirit Heavenly Moon Demon Spider. If anyone who didn’t know what was happening saw this scene, their jaws would drop.
As their eyes met, Yang Kai smiled and politely greeted, “Black Crow, we meet again. It’s truly a small world.”
Black Crow’s eyes spewed fire, “Impudence! Is this King’s name something you can call?”
Yang Kai smiled, “It’s just a title, why should Divine Monarch care?”
Black Crow coldly snorted, “Little brat, you ruined this King’s plans in Blood Monster Cave Heaven, and now you actually have the face to appear in front of this King? Do you think that with a Holy Spirit protecting you, this King can’t do anything to you?” Saying so, he shook his arms and said in a high-spirited tone, “Do you see? Right now, this King’s subordinates are as numerous as the clouds, as long as this King gives the order, you can lose your head!”
Yang Kai said amiably, “I naturally believe you have the ability to do so, but even if you can kill me, what use is it? The Blood Monster Cave Heaven is already gone, and now you’re wanted by all the various Cave Heaven Paradise. Being forced to hide in this Shattered Heaven, your life must be quite difficult.”
It would have been better if he hadn’t mentioned this, but now that he did, Black Crow was enraged, “If it weren’t for you interfering, how could this King have fallen to such a state?”
If he had been able to successfully refine the Blood Monster Divine Palace back then, he would have been able to control the Blood Monster Cave Heaven. At that time, with the resources left behind by Blood Monster Divine Monarch, he would have been able to peacefully cultivate in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven to restore his strength. He wouldn’t have needed to run around and hide, being chased around like a rat.
“The situation is forcing me, so there’s nothing I can do about it. Divine Monarch, if you were to refine the Blood Monster Divine Palace, I would also die. In order to survive, I had no choice but to make things difficult for you,” Yang Kai said with a smile, as if what had happened back then was not his doing.
Black Crow angrily said, “Little brat, what are you trying to do? You came all the way to Shattered Heaven just to anger this King? If that’s the case, this King won’t let you off so easily!”
“Of course not!” Yang Kai slowly shook his head and said seriously, “I’m here to cooperate with the Divine Monarch.”
Black Crow glanced at him, “Cooperate? You want to cooperate with this King? Did you say something wrong, or did I hear wrong?”
Yang Kai said, “Divine Monarch didn’t hear wrong, and I didn’t say anything wrong.”
Black Crow looked around and burst into laughter, his laughter echoing throughout the Shattered Spirit Province.
After a short while, Black Crow's smile disappeared and he coldly snorted, “Although this King doesn’t know what you’re planning, I also know that you’re definitely up to no good. While this King is not angry now quickly scram, otherwise, all of you will die here!”
Yang Kai looked at him and said, “Divine Monarch, why don’t you even ask first? Why are you chasing me away?”
Black Crow coldly snorted, “If possible, this King will be the first to kill you. Cooperating with you? What kind of joke is this? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to discuss cooperation with this King?”
Yang Kai ignored his disdain and continued, “Divine Monarch escaped from the Blood Monster Territory and hid in Shattered Spirit Province, leading a difficult life. All of this was thanks to those people in the Cave Heaven Paradise. Does Divine Monarch not want revenge?”
Black Crow narrowed his eyes and stared at him, a dangerous light flashing across his eyes, as if he was hesitating whether he should fight Yang Kai here or not. A mere Yang Kai was nothing to him. When he was in the Blood Monster Territory, he had just possessed a new body and was unable to display his full strength, which was why Yang Kai had been able to escape so many times.
But now, he was already a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage master while Yang Kai was still a Half Open Heaven master. The two of them were simply not on the same level.
What made Black Crow fearful was the Holy Spirit. With the protection of this Holy Spirit, even if he had many masters under him, wanting to kill Yang Kai would be somewhat unrealistic.
“Divine Monarch have grudges with those Cave Heaven Paradise, so do I,” Yang Kai continued, “Everyone has a common enemy. Does Divine Monarch think we can cooperate?”
Black Crow suddenly became interested, “How do you have a grudge with those Cave Heaven Paradise?”
Yang Kai said, “Because I want to directly advance to High Rank Open Heaven, I seem to have touched some people’s interests, so I was targeted. I came to Shattered Heaven this time because I was lured here by someone. In the depths of Shattered Heaven, there is a trap waiting for me to jump into.”
Black Crow nodded in understanding, “You have refined a great deal of High Rank Force, so you indeed have the ability to directly reach High Rank Open Heaven. No wonder those Cave Heaven Paradise don’t allow you to succeed. If you were in their place, you wouldn’t be able to either. However, since you know it’s a trap, why did you jump in?”
“Naturally, there’s a reason why I must go. There’s no need for Divine Monarch to ask too many questions. Being able to meet Divine Monarch here is only a coincidence.”
Black Crow turned his head and glanced at Tan Luoxing, secretly guessing that Tan Luoxing had exposed his whereabouts. With this glance, Tan Luoxing immediately broke out into a cold sweat and became anxious.
Black Crow coldly snorted, “Since those Cave Heaven Paradise have set up a trap for you to jump into, no matter how many people you bring with you, it will be useless. This King is not stupid, so how could I possibly accompany you to the grave?”
“Divine Monarch is wrong,” Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “If the 36 Cave Heaven and 72 Paradise were to join forces, I naturally wouldn’t be able to resist, nor would I be able to he the idea to resist. It’s just that right now, only a few forces are dealing with me, so how many masters can they deploy? They are only targeting the people around me. If Divine Monarch can take advantage of this opportunity to intervene, they won’t be able to defend themselves. With so many masters under Divine Monarch's command, it’s enough to teach those people a lesson.”
Black Crow frowned and muttered to himself, but Yang Kai didn’t rush him and simply stared at him quietly.
After a long time, Black Crow sneered, “No matter what you say, this King doesn’t believe a single word you say. This King does have a grudge with those Cave Heaven Paradise. Sooner or later, this King will trample over their headquarters and kill all of their disciples and grand-disciples, destroying their foundation which has been passed down for countless years, but this King is more than willing to see you die! Hehehe, you want to borrow this King’s hand to share your burden? Boy, you’re too naive.”
Yang Kai frowned and said, “Divine Monarch, it won’t be too late to slowly settle our grievances in the future. Now that such a good opportunity has presented itself, if Divine Monarch doesn’t take action, he will definitely regret it. Could it be that Divine Monarch is willing to spend the rest of his life hiding in Shattered Heaven? If those Cave Heaven Paradise discover your whereabouts, do you think they will let you live freely?”
“That’s this king’s business, it has nothing to do with you. Scram, if you don’t, don’t blame this king for being impolite,” Black Crow waved his hand and ordered him to leave.
“Divine Monarch!” Yang Kai tried to persuade him again.
On the other hand, Black Crow’s body was covered in a bloody mist as he shouted, “If you don’t leave within three breaths, don’t leave forever!”
As soon as he finished speaking, more than twenty Mid Rank Open Heaven masters gathered their strength, and in an instant, the aura of World Force filled the air. Yue He, Qu Huachang, and Old Bai all looked as if they were facing a great enemy, leaving only Zhu Jiu Yin staring coldly at Black Crow Divine Monarch.
Yang Kai’s face was filled with annoyance as he glared hatefully at Black Crow Divine Monarch before gritting his teeth, “Let’s go!”
Turning around, he flicked his sleeves and left, seemingly somewhat exasperated.
In the blink of an eye, a group of people flew out of Shattered Spirit Province and headed towards the depths of Shattered Heaven.
