Qu Huachang is a Core Disciple raised by Yin-Yang Heaven, and it was extremely likely that she would become one of the candidates to succeed the Sect Master position in the future. Yin-Yang Heaven had been pressured to hold this Dao Exchange Conference, so choosing a husband for her was already against her nature. If she couldn’t even choose a husband worthy of her, what face would Yin-Yang Heaven have?
However, now there were more than a dozen Cave Heaven Paradise joining forces to seal off the Domain Gates leading to the Yin-Yang Territory. Ordinary Sixth Order cultivators would never be able to enter the Yin-Yang Territory to participate in the Dao Exchange Conference. If this continued, when the Dao Exchange Conference was convened, only Fifth Order Open Heaven would be able to participate. This was a good opportunity for these families.
Su Yingxue gnashed her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do. It was just as this Fourth Order Open Heaven had reported, these families had acted appropriately and not forcefully expelled them. Instead, they had sent people to exchange pointers so that others would retreat. How could Yin-Yang Heaven interfere? [Hoogs: Why couldn't they? They're the host. They can always say that only Sixth Order can join the Dao Exchange. Where is their brain?]
The brawny man’s eyes suddenly lit up as he stared in a certain direction, “Junior Sister, isn’t there another Sixth Order?”
Hearing this, Su Yingxue’s expression changed, “Senior Brother means…”
The big man chuckled and said, “If he can safely enter the Sect to participate in the Dao Exchange Conference, all the efforts of those few families will be wasted.”
Su Yingxue’s eyes lit up, “Senior Brother is right!”
If Yang Kai appeared at the Dao Exchange Conference with his Sixth Order Open Heaven cultivation, he would be able to completely break the structure of the Dao Exchange Conference. In the plans of the various forces, only Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivators were qualified to participate in the Dao Exchange Conference, and in the end, only Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivators were allowed to participate.
Since they were all Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage masters, their Cave Heaven Paradise's foundation would naturally be more robust. If there were no accidents, the first place would definitely be born from these forces and would end up happily married to Qu Huachang. No matter which force had the last laugh, it would be decided by them.
But if a Sixth Order suddenly appeared, all of their plans would be disrupted.
Even their Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator would not be qualified to fight a Sixth Order! At that time, whether it was to preserve their Sect’s face or for some other reason, the Cave Heaven Paradise disciples would have to be selected to participate in the Dao Exchange. The original Fifth Order cultivator would not be qualified, only a Sixth Order would have a chance.
Therefore, the most pressing matter at hand was to ensure that Yang Kai could enter the Yin-Yang Territory and participate in the Dao Exchange Conference!
Thinking up to this point, Su Yingxue’s expression suddenly changed, “Not good, that guy doesn’t know the inside story. If he exposes his cultivation in advance, he will definitely be stopped, that would be bad.”
The brawny man also realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly looked towards the direction of the Domain Gate before shouting, “Go!”
Saying so, he transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the Domain Gate, Su Yingxue following closely behind.
At the same time, a few hundred kilometers outside the Domain Gate, on an abandoned Spirit Province, Yang Kai stood tall, his hand resting on his arm as he looked towards the Domain Gate and couldn’t help muttering, “What’s going on!”
Originally, he had wanted to directly enter Yin-Yang Heaven and find an opportunity to meet Qu Huachang to see her intentions before making his plans, but before he could even enter Yin-Yang Territory, he found a huge ship from Myriad Demons Heaven near the Domain Gate. This ship was huge and imposing, and there were probably many masters on it.
Of the 36 Cave Heaven and 72 Paradise, Yang Kai feared the Myriad Demons Heaven the most. His Demon Eye of Annihilation and Black Pupil Purgatory came from the Myriad Demons Heaven, and as Ti Zheng had said, these were the two great secrets of the Myriad Demons Heaven. Only the most talented and perceptive disciples of the Myriad Demons Heaven were qualified to cultivate them.
In Shattered Star City, after a brief investigation, Ti Zheng found out that Yang Kai possessed these two Great Eye Techniques, but with Zhu Jiu Yin present, it was difficult for Ti Zheng to make a move, so after leading Yang Kai to Shadowless Cave Heaven, the matter was settled.
He probably felt that after Yang Kai entered Shadowless Cave Heaven, he could forget about coming out again, so he didn’t pursue this matter any further.
But now that Yang Kai had safely escaped, if he were to encounter Ti Zheng again, it was difficult to guarantee that he wouldn’t have any ideas about his two eyes. This man was a Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, so Yang Kai wasn’t his opponent.
The Demon Eye of Annihilation and the Black Pupil Purgatory were, after all, the secrets of Myriad Demons Heaven. If this matter were to be exposed, it would definitely result in an irreconcilable situation.
Not to mention, Myriad Demons Heaven had repeatedly tried to suppress him.
So when he saw Myriad Demons Heaven's flying ship, Yang Kai stopped. He didn’t know who was guarding it, but if it was Ti Zheng, it would be bad.
After examining the Universe Chart, Yang Kai realized that if he were to take a detour through another Great Domain, it would take at least a month, which was not enough time.
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling a headache.
Just as he didn’t know what to do, from the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw two streaks of light rapidly approaching from the distance. Yang Kai looked over and after a moment, his expression changed as he called out, “Senior Sister Su!”
The two streaks of light paused for a moment before changing directions and flying towards the Shattered Spirit Province. A moment later, two figures appeared in front of Yang Kai.
Yang Kai didn’t know if it was an illusion, but when he saw Su Yingxue, he clearly felt that she was relieved.
“Oh, it’s you!” Yang Kai looked at the brawny man next to Su Yingxue with a look of surprise.
“Oh? Little brother, it’s you!” The big man grinned, seemingly extremely forthright, “It’s truly a small world!”
“Do you know each other?” Su Yingxue asked pretentiously.
The big man said, “There was a misunderstanding between me and this little brother just now, and we became friends after a fight. Junior Sister Su, you also know this little brother?”
Su Yingxue said indifferently, “He is the Void Land’s Lord, Yang Kai!”
The burly man immediately showed a look of surprise, “You’re that Yang Kai who helped Junior Sister Qu achieve Open Heaven?”
“Junior Sister Qu?” Yang Kai was stunned, “May I ask how this Senior Brother is called?”
The burly man smiled proudly, “Yin-Yang Heaven, Qing Kui!”
Yang Kai was surprised, “Senior Brother is also from Yin-Yang Heaven, so why did you…” He was a little curious about why Qing Kui had appeared outside the Void Territory and seemed to be chasing someone.
Qing Kui quickly interrupted him and patted his shoulder warmly, acting as if they were very familiar with each other, “That’s why I said we won’t get to know each other if we don’t fight. I’ve long heard of you, but I never thought we’d actually meet, hahahaha!”
After the laughter died down, Qing Kui asked, “Junior Brother is also here to participate in the Dao Exchange Conference?”
Yang Kai nodded, “I guess so.”
“What do you mean by that?” Qing Kui’s eyes widened, “Since you’re going to participate in the Dao Exchange Conference, why don’t you just go in and stay here instead?”
Yang Kai casually said, “I was a bit tired after travelling for so long, so I was trying to recover a bit, but I just happened to run into you two.”
Su Yingxue turned her head towards the direction of the Domain Gate and understood what was happening, but she didn’t point it out and simply nodded, “Since it’s on the way, let’s go together.”
Yang Kai frowned and was about to speak when Qing Kui grabbed his arm and said, “Let’s go, the Dao Exchange Conference is approaching, we should hurry back and prepare.”
He is a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master, so his strength was extraordinary. As he was being dragged along, Yang Kai couldn’t help smiling bitterly and could only follow.
However, in his heart, he decided that if the situation became bad, he would immediately flee.
Along the way, Su Yingxue suddenly sent a voice transmission, “Junior Brother Yang, no matter what happens later, don’t make a move. I’ll handle it.”
Yang Kai looked up at her, not knowing why she was telling him this.
A short while later, the group of three arrived at the Domain Gate.
On the deck of the ship, a few figures stood there quietly.
Yang Kai’s mind was tense as he focused his eyes, but he didn’t find any trace of Ti Zheng on the ship, nor did he sense any dangerous aura.
With his current Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivation, only a High Rank master would be able to give him a sense of danger. However, High Rank Open Heaven masters were highly revered and wouldn’t be easily dispatched. It was very likely that there was no High Rank Open Heaven master on this ship.
“So it’s Elder Su and Elder Qing!” On the flying ship, a half-grown old man smiled and cupped his fists. In the Cave Heaven Paradise, a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator was already qualified to be an Outer Sect Elder, while a Seventh Order was an Inner Sect Elder. Su Yingxue and Qing Kui were undoubtedly Outer Sect Elders of Yin-Yang Heaven.
Su Yingxue and Qing Kui didn’t give him any face at all. Being blocked in front of their own house like this, they had nowhere to vent their anger. It was already good enough that they didn’t give him a few cold looks.
The old man also knew that the two of them were resentful, so he didn’t complain and simply smiled, “Where did you two come from?”
Qing Kui was extremely enthusiastic towards Yang Kai, but towards this half-grown old man, he wore a cold expression and coldly snorted, “Why do i need to tell you where the Yin-Yang Heaven disciples come from?”
The old man chuckled but didn’t pay it any mind. His eyes suddenly fell on Yang Kai as he asked hesitantly, “This little brother seems somewhat familiar, how should I address you?”
Yang Kai looked at him indifferently but didn’t have any intention of answering. Since Qing Kui was so impolite towards this person, it meant that he was at most a Sixth Order Open Heaven cultivator, so there was no need to fear him.
“Yang Kai? It’s you!” Beside the old man, a young man suddenly stood up and stared fiercely at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai looked up and saw that this person was someone he recognized, and couldn’t help asking in surprise, “Pei Wen Xuan?”
Yang Kai had dealt with this guy in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven. At that time, he and Qu Huachang had studied the Great Evolution Inextinguishable Blood Shine Scripture together. This Pei Wen Xuan was much faster than the two of them. In the end, Black Crow Divine Monarch seized Zhou Yi’s body and started a massacre. When Yang Kai and Qu Huachang were fleeing, they had secretly tricked Pei Wen Xuan and almost killed him.
The grievances between the two of them were also formed at that time.
“Oh, you’ve broken through to the Open Heaven Stage?” Yang Kai’s eyes lit up. When Pei Wen Xuan was in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, he was only at the peak of the Emperor Realm, just like himself, but now he was already at the Open Heaven Stage.
Although he couldn’t tell what grade of Open Heaven he was at, with his foundation and the cultivation resource Myriad Demons Heaven had given him, he should be a Sixth Order Open Heaven!
“Didn’t you also break through to Open Heaven?” Pei Wen Xuan smiled disdainfully as he looked down at Yang Kai, “Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage, your heart is higher than the sky, but your life is thinner than paper, what a joke!”
