Ma Tian Yuan frowned, “What does Junior Brother mean?”
Yang Kai chuckled lightly, “You said those three are the honored guests of your Matchless Society, but you can’t possibly not know what their surnames are, right? You’re a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, so your status in Matchless Society shouldn’t be too low. Now that you know nothing about these three, it means they aren’t even in your Matchless Society.”
As he spoke, Yang Kai’s face slowly sank, “Since they aren’t in your Matchless Society, why do you want to lead me there?”
Ma Tian Yuan said, “Junior Brother, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood. That Madam is indeed a guest of my Matchless Society, but she was only received by three the three Chiefs. This Ma does not know her name…”
“Now that things have reached this point, do you still want to cover up?” Yang Kai coldly looked over and interrupted him.
Ma Tian Yuan remained silent for a while before sighing, “Since Junior Brother has already noticed, this Ma won’t hide anything from you. That’s right, that Madam is indeed not in my Matchless Society.”
“Where is she?” Yang Kai asked.
Ma Tian Yuan shook his head and said, “I don’t know. About half a year ago, I did see the three of them. The three Chiefs wanted to recruit her to join Matchless Society, but she didn’t agree, so she led them away. As for where they are now, I don’t know. However, I heard that the people of Profound Yang Mountain had once pursued the three of them. Perhaps the three of them were captured, or perhaps they were already dead.”
“Profound Yang Mountain?” Yang Kai raised his brow.
Ma Tian Yuan said, “Inside Shadowless Cave Heaven, there are three great forces. The first is Profound Yang Mountain, the second is my Matchless Society, and the third is Gemini Island. Each of these forces has a number of Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters, each of which is completely independent of the other.”
“Why are the people from Profound Yang Mountain pursuing them?” Yang Kai asked again.
Ma Tian Yuan said, “In this Shadowless Cave Heaven, there are very few newcomers who enter, and the environment here is quite harsh. Cultivation resources are scarce, so every newcomer who enters will be roped in and their cultivation resources will be collected.”
Yang Kai suddenly understood and asked, “Is this why you want me to join Matchless Society?”
Ma Tian Yuan nodded calmly, “That’s right, although Junior Brother has only broken through to the Fifth Order, he should have some cultivation resources on him. After joining my Matchless Society, your things will belong to my Matchless Society. Your three friends are quite strong, so they should have quite a lot of good things on them. What’s so strange about them being targeted by the people of Profound Yang Mountain? Not to mention, the Second Mountain Lord of Profound Yang Mountain is extremely lecherous, and his ladies is an outstanding beauty. If he sees them, he will definitely have some ideas.”
“Profound Yang Mountain…” Yang Kai sneered lightly. The Proprietress’ cultivation is at the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage, and because of her many years of accumulation, she was far stronger than an ordinary Sixth Order. She had basically reached the peak of the Sixth Order, but because of the Heart Demon Oath, she had been unable to break through to the Seventh Order.
Chef and the Accountant were both Fifth Order masters, so even if Profound Yang Mountain's strength was extraordinary, they probably wouldn’t be able to do anything to them, so there was no need to worry about the Proprietress’ safety. The most important thing now was to find out where they were.
Ma Tian Yuan continued, “Junior Brother, I didn’t bring you to Matchless Society just for your resources, but also for your own good.”
Yang Kai sneered, “This saying is quite novel.”
Ma Tian Yuan said, “This Shadowless Cave Heaven is extremely strange. If you don’t join one of the three great forces, you won’t be able to survive for long.”
Yang Kai asked, “What do you mean?”
Ma Tian Yuan shook his head, obviously not wanting to go into detail, only saying, “If you stay here for too long, you will naturally understand what I mean. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the two of them if I am lying.”
The fourth order woman sighed and said, “Senior Brother Ma is right, if you don’t rely on the Three Great Factions, I’m afraid you won’t be able to survive for more than three or five years. When I fell into this Shadowless Cave Heaven, I suffered a loss and took a long time to recover.”
Yang Kai coldly snorted. Although this woman’s words were sincere and he couldn’t see any signs of her lying, they were still in cahoots, so it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn’t have colluded with each other beforehand. Naturally, Yang Kai wouldn’t easily believe her.
Ma Tian Yuan tried to persuade him, “Actually, in comparison, joining my Matchless Society is the most cost-effective, because as long as Junior Brother contributes sixty percent of your resources, the remaining forty percent will belong to you alone. For example, Profound Yang Mountain and Gemini Island both require seventy percent.”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “I have no interest in joining your Matchless Society. I came to Shadowless Cave Heaven to find someone.”
Ma Tian Yuan said solemnly, “Junior Brother, there is no need to be so stubborn. You have just broken through and your aura is unstable. This Ma doesn’t want to attack you, so I advise you to cooperate obediently.”
Yang Kai glanced over, “What if I say no?”
Ma Tian Yuan sighed, “In this damned place, resources are scarce. In order to cultivate, I can only offend you, but Junior Brother can rest assured, this Ma is not a ruthless person. As long as you don’t resist too much, I won’t take your life!”
Yang Kai chuckled, “With your words, I’ll spare your life later!”
Ma Tian Yuan’s face sank, “Is Junior Brother refusing to shed tears until he sees the coffin?” Waving his hand, he shouted, “Attack!”
In the blink of an eye, he raised his hand and sent out a palm strike to Yang Kai. A powerful World Force burst out, as if an entire world was pressing down on him. At the same time, the fourth order woman and the third order youth also attacked, each using their own Secret Techniques to attack Yang Kai.
It could be seen that Ma Tian Yuan really had no intention of killing Yang Kai, otherwise he could have directly taken out his artifact. He was originally a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, but after spending so much time in Shadowless Cave Heaven and encountering some unforeseen circumstances, he had fallen to the Fifth Order. Even so, among the Fifth Order, he was one of the best.
Facing Yang Kai, who had just broken through to the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage, he didn’t even need to use his full strength.
Everyone’s accumulation over time was different, so their heritage was naturally different.
If it was before, when the three of them had joined forces, Yang Kai had only been able to escape. Although he had killed many Low Rank Open Heaven cultivators, at that time, he had used his full strength. When had he not used his Golden Crow Sun Casting Divine Ability Manifestation? Not to mention now, three Open Heaven Stage cultivators had joined forces, one of them a Fifth Order.
But that was before.
Now, he is also a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage , and this Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage was different from an ordinary person’s. After forming the Small Universe World in his body, he had also fused it with his own Mysterious Small World.
The Mysterious Small World had previously swallowed many of the Blood Monster Cave Heaven's fragments and digested the foundation contained within them. In other words, some of the Blood Monster Cave Heaven's foundation had become Yang Kai’s capital.
Yang Kai also wanted to test his current strength.
Therefore, when he saw the three of them attack, not only did he not show any fear, but his eyes also lit up with fighting spirit.
With a shake of his body, the Small Universe World in the body is running violently, the World Force lingered around his body and shot out two Moon Blades towards the Fourth Order Lady and the Third Order Young Man, each of which contained a rich World Force.
In the blink of an eye, two miserable cries rang out. Whether it was the Fourth Order Lady or the Third Order Young Man, both of them had blood spurting out from their wounds. The woman’s condition was slightly better, but her clothes had been cut open by the moonblade, revealing her snow-white skin. The young man’s entire body had been cut open and he was instantly injured. However, such injuries were not fatal to the Open Heaven Stage cultivator, so he only needed to rest for a while to recover.
In the blink of an eye, the joint attack of the three was broken.
Ma Tian Yuan was slightly startled. He hadn’t expected that under his suppression, Yang Kai would actually be able to injure his two subordinates. For a moment, Ma Tian Yuan’s embarrassment turned into anger as the World Force in his palm became even stronger.
Yang Kai turned around and raised his palm to meet it.
With a loud bang, both of them staggered backwards.
Both sides retreated three hundred meters before stabilizing themselves. This palm strike was actually evenly matched.
Opposite him, Ma Tian Yuan’s eyes narrowed as he exclaimed, “How could this be?”
Was the person in front of him really a newly promoted Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator? When their palms collided, Ma Tian Yuan could clearly feel that the World Force in his opponent’s body was not inferior to his own, and the result in front of him was undoubtedly the same.
But how was this possible? He had fallen from a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator to a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator. There were only a handful of Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivators who could match him, but this young man in front of him had done it.
“You just broke through to the Fifth Order?” Ma Tian Yuan’s eyes showed a trace of shock and disbelief.
“Indeed!” Yang Kai took a deep breath, his entire being immersed in an indescribable joy. This was the power of the Open Heaven Stage! He could feel the Small Universe in his body circulating with infinite power, as if he could pierce a hole in the sky with just a lift of his hand.
Ma Tian Yuan couldn’t believe it, but Yang Kai’s aura was extremely obvious. He had indeed just broken through, otherwise he wouldn’t have been unable to restrain his aura.
With such strength after just breaking through, what would happen if he was allowed to immerse himself in it for a few days? Ma Tian Yuan didn’t dare to continue thinking about it.
But how could there be such a monster in this world?
“Senior Brother Ma didn’t use his full strength, right?” Yang Kai grinned at him.
Ma Tian Yuan’s expression became serious as he heard Yang Kai say, “What a coincidence, I didn’t use my full strength. Senior Brother Ma, don’t try to hide it, otherwise you might get injured!”
Saying so, Yang Kai’s figure flashed and appeared directly in front of Ma Tian Yuan. In the next moment, Ma Tian Yuan felt the World Force pressing down on him and raised his eyes to see a palm strike coming towards him.
Enraged, Ma Tian Yuan roared and no longer dared to hold back. Activating the Small Universe's World Force, Ma Tian Yuan released it.
Boom boom boom…
A series of explosions rang out, causing the void to tremble and the World Force to disperse. The two figures became a spinning top, sometimes soaring into the sky, sometimes falling to the ground, causing the surrounding mountains to collapse.
“Awesome! Awesome!” Yang Kai’s face was filled with madness as he cried out in satisfaction. One after another, he struck out with his palm, releasing all of his strength.
Such a crazy stance frightened Ma Tian Yuan so much that he thought this young man was going to fight to the death with him. At this moment, he was riding a tiger, it was difficult for him to back down. Facing this storm of attacks, he could only passively defend, otherwise he would be injured.
