Although Yang Kai and the other two had already broken through to the Mid Rank Open Heaven and possessed extraordinary strength, they had never come into contact with a pregnant woman before, so they naturally didn’t know anything about this. For a time, all of them stared at Shu Mudan’s big belly and clicked their tongues in wonder.
After chatting casually for a while longer, Hua Yong and his wife left, informing them that if they had any requests, they could simply instruct the guards outside the bamboo forest to assist them.
Yang Kai thanked them and personally sent them off.
For the next few days, everything was peaceful.
The Proprietress had been in seclusion to recuperate. Yang Kai had experienced a shocking battle and had gained a lot from it, so he needed time to carefully comprehend it, especially since the Sun and Moon Divine Wheel had yet to be perfected. This was not something that could be done in a day or two, Chef and the Accountant both also needed time to recuperate.
The bamboo forest was silent!
A few days later, the Proprietress suddenly came out of seclusion, and the three guards outside immediately opened their eyes and looked towards the bamboo house, only to see the Proprietress standing elegantly on the second floor, looking down with a smile.
The three of them were overjoyed and Chef asked, “Proprietress, you’re awake?”
The Proprietress waved her hand and said, “Come up and talk.”
Saying so, she turned around and entered the bamboo house again.
The three of them entered the bamboo house and went up to the second floor, all three pairs of eyes looking towards the Proprietress with concern.
Yang Kai suddenly frowned and said, “Proprietress, this Monster Qi on your body…”
An extremely obvious Monster Qi lingered around her body. The Monster Qi was exactly the same as the aura diffused by the Blood Monster Battle Dress she wore before, but it was much weaker, but still could not be underestimated.
The Proprietress said, “This Monster Qi won’t be able to be expelled in a short period of time, it will take some time, but it won’t be a big problem. It’s all thanks to you.”
If Yang Kai hadn’t used the Soul Warming Lotus at the last moment to protect her Divine Sense, the Proprietress wouldn’t have known what would have happened to her. It was highly likely that she would have been assimilated by the massive and pure Monster Qi and become an unconscious monster.
After saying this, the Proprietress suddenly frowned and looked at Yang Kai suspiciously, “How did you advance to the Sixth Order?”
Chef quickly said, “Proprietress, let me tell you, this little brat actually has a World Fruit…”
After explaining for a while, the Proprietress finally understood, “Your luck is quite good!”
Suddenly recalling that Yang Kai had obtained some Open Heaven Pills from the Universe Furnace in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven last time, she was secretly amazed. This little brat’s luck was truly extraordinary, even ordinary people would not be able to see such good things.
And that Soul Warming Lotus…
At this moment, it was still in her body. She didn’t know where he had found such a precious artifact.
However, since he had consumed a Mid Rank World Fruit to advance to the Sixth Order, he could somewhat make up for his regret slightly. When he reached the Fifth Order, his limit would be Seventh Order. If he consumed this Mid Rank World Fruit, his limit would be Eighth Order.
If there was a chance to find enough Open Heaven Pills generated by the World Furnace, it wasn’t impossible to break through to the Ninth Order. However, once the Universe Furnace appeared, it would definitely cause a bloodbath, so it wasn’t easy to compete for it.
After returning the Soul Warming Lotus to Yang Kai, the Proprietress said, “Come with me to pay a visit to the two Island Masters of Gemini Island. Perhaps for a long time in the future, we’ll have to settle down here. After all, this is their territory, so it’s only right for us to do so while we live under someone else’s roof.”
“Yes!” The three replied respectfully.
Inside the main hall of Gemini Island, Hua Yong sat with his eyes wide open, his face filled with shock. Shu Mudan sat on the chair next to him, while a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage was reporting some things.
This Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage was one of Hua Yong’s subordinates who had been sent out to inquire about the situation in the Profound Yang Mountain a few days ago. Today, he had just returned and immediately reported what he had seen and heard.
However… what his subordinate had just said was simply unbelievable.
“You’re saying that Profound Yang Mountain is now filled with black flames, Spirit Peaks has been destroyed, the earth has cracked, and has been completely destroyed?”
“This subordinate also doesn’t dare believe it, but this is something this subordinate saw with his own eyes,” The Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator lowered his head and replied, “All around the Profound Yang Mountain, there are traces of a great battle, and the residual World Force fluctuations are still there.”
“Yun Feibai died?” Hua Yong asked again, “Even Mao Zhe was injured and escaped?”
“This subordinate didn’t see it with his own eyes, but this is what the subordinate heard.”
“Where did you hear this news?” Hua Yong asked.
The Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator replied, “It was the people from the Profound Yang Mountain who told me that the Profound Yang Mountain was destroyed and the cultivators who originally belonged to the Profound Yang Mountain had nowhere to go. Some of them left with the other Mountain Lords, but no one knew where they went. It just so happened that this subordinate went to inquire about some information, and after seeing this subordinate, he took the initiative to come and join my Gemini Island. This information was obtained from them.”
“Where are those people?” Hua Yong asked.
“This subordinate doesn’t dare to make a decision, so I have them wait outside the island. After reporting to the two Island Masters, the two Island Masters will decide.”
“Call them in!” Hua Yong ordered.
The man nodded and quickly stepped forward, leading seven or eight people into the hall. Hua Yong looked up and saw that these seven or eight people all had varying strengths, some of them at the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Order. After entering the hall, all of them wore nervous expressions.
These people looked familiar, so they should be from the Profound Yang Mountain.
This Shadowless Cave Heaven was neither big nor small. Everyone had lived here together for thousands of years, so even if Hua Yong didn’t know their names, he had seen them before.
The leading Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage old man stepped forward and cupped his fists towards Hua Yong and Shu Mudan, “Zhang Shun greets the two Island Masters.”
“Your name is Zhang Shun?” Hua Yong asked.
The old man nodded, “Yes!”
“I’m asking you a few things, so you must answer honestly. If you say anything false, you know what the consequences will be,” Hua Yong said in a dignified tone.
Zhang Shun quickly replied, “Island Master Hua, please ask. This old master will definitely tell you everything he knows and not dare hide anything.”
Hua Yong nodded slightly, “Is Yun Feibai dead or alive?”
Zhang Shun said, “The Second Mountain Lord… no, Yun Feibai is already dead. A young man used a long spear to poke his head, causing his head to explode. As for that young man’s name, this old master doesn’t know.”
“Really?” Hua Yong’s eyes widened as he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Who was Yun Feibai? He was one of the Profound Yang Mountain’s Mountain Lords, and just like him, he was a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master. How could he die just like that?
“This old master saw it with his own eyes,” As Zhang Shun spoke, he couldn’t help shivering, obviously remembering something.
“Where are the other three Mountain Lords?” Hua Yong asked.
Zhang Shun slowly shook his head, “After the destruction of Profound Yang Mountain, Great Mountain Lord disappeared with the unconscious Third Mountain Lord and Fourth Mountain Lord. This old master doesn’t know where they are or how they are doing.”
“Tell me everything you saw that day!”
Zhang Shun didn’t dare be negligent and quickly explained what he had seen and heard that day.
Hearing that Yang Kai had actually chased them all the way to the outskirts of Profound Yang Mountain and blocked Yun Feibai and the others’ escape route, Hua Yong’s eyelids twitched as he secretly wondered what kind of madman had come to Shadowless Cave Heaven to act so arrogantly.
Using his strength alone to resist the three Mountain Lords, he had taken Yun Feibai’s life in the blink of an eye. Even the Great Mountain Lord himself had not been able to stop him.
Soon after, a shocking battle broke out, and even Mao Zhe was no match for him. He had no choice but to retreat to the Profound Yang Mountain, activate the Formation, and retreat inside.
Unexpectedly, the young man didn’t give up and instead transformed into a three hundred zhang tall Half Dragon, uprooting mountains and rivers, attacking their strongholds, completely destroying Profound Yang Mountain. In the end, the Golden Crow True Flame burned the entire Profound Yang Mountain, causing the Great Mountain Lord to disappear without a trace, allowing him to escape!
This Zhang Shun was quite good. When he spoke about what he had seen that day, it was as if a scene had appeared in front of him. When Hua Yong heard this, he couldn’t help thinking about the shocking battle that had just occurred.
After Zhang Shun finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
Hua Yong sat absent-mindedly on his chair, his expression constantly changing.
A few days ago, when Yang Kai returned, he had asked about the situation of the Profound Yang Mountain. When he asked about Mao Zhe, Yang Kai said that Mao Zhe’s strength was quite extraordinary.
This caused him to think that Yang Kai’s trip to the Profound Yang Mountain had failed.
Who knew that in the end, this would be the result.
'You even killed the Second Mountain Lord of the other side, and the remaining three Mountain Lords were all injured. Even the Profound Yang Mountain was destroyed, yet you still want to praise Mao Zhe’s strength? What do you mean?'
The world had changed!
This Shadowless Cave Heaven was about to undergo a complete change.
For thousands of years, although Shadowless Cave Heaven's three great forces had always had some friction and unhappiness between them, in general, they had always lived in harmony. Because there was a shortage of cultivation resources here, no one was willing to act recklessly, especially when it came to the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage.
Therefore, even though there were only two Sixth Order masters on Gemini Island and they were the weakest of the three great forces, they had managed to survive for so many years. In order to swallow Gemini Island, whether it was Profound Yang Mountain or Matchless Society, they would have to pay a huge price, and the gains would not be enough to make up for it.
But now, even a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master like Yun Feibai had died, while Mao Zhe had been injured and forced to flee. Who in this Shadowless Cave Heaven could match Yang Kai?
Now that the Profound Yang Mountain was gone, with the strength Yang Kai had displayed at the Profound Yang Mountain, how could Matchless Society resist? How could Gemini Island resist?
He alone could turn the entire Shadowless Cave Heaven!
If he wanted to, he could easily become the master of Shadowless Cave Heaven. Unless all of Shadowless Cave Heaven's Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters joined forces, no one could stop him.
“Island Master Hua…” Seeing Hua Yong’s expression change, Zhang Shun called out softly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hua Yong’s dazed eyes slowly focused.
Zhang Shun said, “Island Master Hua bright view, now that Profound Yang Mountain has been destroyed, we have nowhere to go. Please take us in, we will serve you to the death in the future!”
