Turning his head to look at the courtyard where Yang Kai was staying, the young man surnamed Kong’s face flashed a trace of suspicion. He had a feeling that this man was a bit familiar, but because of the angle, he couldn’t see his face clearly and couldn’t remember where he had seen him before.
Slowly shaking his head, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and waited for the news to return.
“Master!” Inside the hall, Qing Kui stepped inside and cupped his fists.
“Done?” Xu Linggong was in a good mood. When Qing Kui came in, he was drinking and humming a tune.
“Yes,” Qing Kui replied respectfully, “According to Master’s instructions, he has been arranged to stay at the Predestined Friends Peak.”
“That’s good, that’s good, heh heh.” Xu Linggong smiled wickedly.
Qing Kui asked in confusion, “Master, what is that place? Why did you arrange for Yang Kai to live there?” After all, he had only returned a few days ago and didn’t know much about the situation in the Inner Sect.
Xu Linggong picked up a mouthful of food and chewed as he said, “There are still a few days until the Dao Exchange Conference officially begins. Originally, there was only a Fifth Order joining the Dao Exchange, but now a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage has suddenly appeared. How do you think those old fogies will react?”
Qing Kui replied, “Of course, in order to preserve the face of their Sect, they need to rearrange the candidates for the Dao Exchange.” This was something they had planned beforehand.
Yang Kai, this troublemaker, had already been arranged to participate in the Dao Exchange Conference, so the next step would be to see the reactions of the forces who had played tricks before. As expected, things would develop in the direction they planned.
“That’s right, but no one know he is a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master, so it’s impossible for others to know about him. Naturally, we need to make some noise so everyone can know about him,” Xu Linggong grinned, “On Predestined Friends Peak, there’s a candidate to become the Union Master of Heavenly Sword Union, the eldest son of the previous Union Master Kong Feng, Kong Tianyu!”
“Heavenly Sword Union!” Qing Kui’s brow rose as he couldn’t help whistling, gloating, “This is going to be a good show.”
Even though he didn’t know much about the Void Land, he knew that the Void Land and Heavenly Sword Union had a life and death grudge. The former Union Master, Kong Feng, had led the Hundred Forces Alliance to besiege the Void Land and was killed by Yang Kai.
Moreover, at that time, Yang Kai was only at the Emperor Realm and had relied on the power of the Nine Layers Heaven Formation. Otherwise, how could Kong Feng, a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, have been killed by an Emperor Realm?
After Kong Feng’s death, it seemed that a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator named Shen Liang had taken over as the Union Master, but in the end, the Union Master died again. Although it wasn’t Yang Kai who killed him, it was still someone from the Void Land who did it.
The two Union Master had both died at the hands of the Void Land’s people, so Heavenly Sword Union could be said to have suffered heavy losses. This enmity was too great, it was simply a situation where they would fight to the death.
With Kong Tianyu and Yang Kai on the Predestined Friends Peak, it was impossible for it to remain calm.
“Master is really… a cunning old fox!” Qing Kui didn’t hold back his admiration, but just as he finished speaking, a wine jar smashed towards him, scaring Qing Kui so much that he fled while Xu Linggong cursed behind him.
On Predestined Friends Peak, the man surnamed Sun held his Message Bead and his expression suddenly became strange.
Kong Tianyu asked, “Did you find out anything? Who is that person?”
The man surnamed Sun glanced at Kong Tian Yu and stuttered, “Brother Kong, that person seems to be the master of the Void Land, Yang Kai!”
“Yang Kai?” Kong Tianyu was stunned for a moment before suddenly raising his voice, his expression becoming fierce, “Are you sure that person is Yang Kai? The Yang Kai from the Void Land?”
The man surnamed Sun nodded and said, “I’m certain. This information isn’t difficult to obtain, and the candidates participating in the Dao Exchange aren’t some kind of secret. The news came from inside Yin-Yang Heaven, so if Brother Kong doesn’t believe me, you can find someone to confirm it!”
“No need,” Kong Tianyu turned around and faced Yang Kai’s courtyard, gritting his teeth as he said, “I was wondering why you looked so familiar, so it’s you, it’s really you!” Suddenly, he let out a low chuckle, “There is a road to heaven you don't want to take it, instead you insist on knocking the hell's door. Father, just you wait, this child will avenge you!”
The former Union Master of Heavenly Sword Union, Kong Feng, was a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, but in the end, he was killed by an Emperor Realm master. Although the other party had borrowed the power of the Great Array, if news of this matter were to spread, it would become a laughing stock.
He was originally the son of the Union Master and his aptitude was quite good. Several hundred years ago, he had directly advanced to the Fifth Order and was the first candidate to become the next Union Master. If everything went smoothly, after he advanced to the Sixth Order, he would be able to take over the position of Heavenly Sword Union Master.
However, because of Kong Feng’s death, Heavenly Sword Union’s reputation was damaged and his authority fell, causing him to fall from the first candidate to the fifth.
With such a ranking, it was almost impossible for him to become the next Heavenly Sword Union Master.
It could be said that his originally bright future had been ruined by Yang Kai, and now that he had killed his father, Kong Tianyu was constantly thinking about killing Yang Kai to clear his father’s name and wash away the Kong Family’s shame.
Unfortunately, the Void Land was not a good place. With two Holy Spirits guarding it, Heavenly Sword Union could not afford to provoke them, so this hatred could only be buried deep in their hearts.
Yin-Yang Heaven held a Dao Exchange Conference to select a husband for Qu Huachang, allowing him to see a glimmer of hope in the darkness. If he could win first place in this Dao Exchange Conference, he would be able to marry into Yin-Yang Heaven and no longer have to remain in Heavenly Sword Union and be shunned by others.
Heaven pitied him because Yang Kai actually running out of the Void Land to participate in the Dao Exchange Conference. This was simply a heaven-sent opportunity.
Kong Tianyu had also paid attention to Yang Kai’s news. After all, he had killed his father, so he naturally knew that Yang Kai had broken through to the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage outside the Shattered Heaven's Shadowless Paradise, and it had been almost two years since then.
Even though they were both Fifth Order masters, the two years he had just broken through to the Fifth Order and the hundreds of years he had accumulated were on completely different levels!
This time, he had to cut him into a thousand pieces to vent his anger!
Killing intent filled the air as he strode towards Yang Kai’s courtyard. The other dozen or so cultivators who were participating in the Dao Exchange Conference glanced at each other and couldn’t help feeling excited. Knowing that there would be a good show to watch later, they all followed.
When he arrived in front of Yang Kai’s courtyard, Kong Tianyu stretched out his hand and grasped a long spear in his hand. Taking a deep breath, he poured all of his strength into the spear and threw it forward, shouting, “Yang Kai, get the hell out here!”
Under this spear, everyone was shocked.
Before Yang Kai arrived, they had been staying here for a few days. During this time, everyone had naturally exchanged pointers with each other, but none of them were Kong Tianyu’s opponent. Even though they were all Fifth Order, they were still quite a bit inferior to him. This was why everyone on Predestined Friends Peak followed his lead. This honor was something Kong Tianyu had forged with his spear.
But now, looking at the might of Kong Tianyu’s attack, everyone realized that he hadn’t used his full strength in the previous exchange. From the power of this spear strike, although Kong Tianyu was still some distance away from advancing to the Sixth Order, he was definitely not far off.
Although this spear strike was quite powerful, it was still unable to break through the courtyard’s formation.
This courtyard’s formation was quite good and was mainly used to allow people to rest, so it was naturally not crude.
Inside a room in the courtyard, Yang Kai sat cross-legged. It's only a few days left before the Dao Exchange Conference began, so this amount of time was not enough for him to refine any resources.
The growth of the Open Heaven Stage cultivator was a result of a long period of accumulation. No matter what kind of resources they refined, they had to ensure their own balance.
Therefore, if he wanted to refine all kinds of resources, it would be best to first gather a set before refining them. Otherwise, if he was unable to find one in a short time, it would be troublesome.
Naturally, this amount of time was insufficient to refine any resources, so Yang Kai only planned to refine some Open Heaven Pill. The Open Heaven Pill had a balanced Yin-Yang + Five Elements Force. Although its efficiency wasn’t high, it was still safe and could be refined at any time without any worries.
He had just refined a dozen Open Heaven Pill when he felt the surrounding formation shake, followed by a furious roar.
Yang Kai’s face was filled with confusion. Who was this guy? Why was he asking for him?
Originally, he didn’t want to bother with them, but the more he ignored them, the more arrogant the other party became. The continuous attacks caused the formation to become unstable, causing him to become restless and even greatly reduce the speed at which he refined the Open Heaven Pill.
He was filled with anger.
Seeing that the formation was on the verge of collapse, Yang Kai had no choice but to stand up and walk out, his body wrapped in a cold chill.
Although the Formation that surrounded the courtyard was not ordinary, it could not withstand such an unbridled bombardment of a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage. Kong Tianyu’s spear continued to strike, causing the entire Predestined Friends Peak to shake as if it would collapse at any moment.
Yang Kai’s silence only made him angrier, and his attacks became fiercer.
Suddenly, the formation dissipated and the door to the courtyard was pushed open, revealing a young man with a gloomy expression.
When their eyes met, Kong Tianyu’s eyes were filled with fire as he held his spear and shouted, “Are you Yang Kai?”
Yang Kai looked at him and asked unhappily, “Who are you? Why are you shouting in front of someone else’s house?”
“Are you really Yang Kai? The Yang Kai from the Void Land!” Kong Tianyu asked again.
“So what?” Yang Kai replied casually.
Kong Tianyu’s eyes narrowed as he nodded, “Good, very good, as long as it’s you!”
“Do we know each other?” Yang Kai looked at him curiously, “From your appearance, it seems we have some kind of great enmity?”
Kong Tianyu raised his spear and pointed it at Yang Kai, “Remember, the one who killed you is the son of the Heavenly Sword Union’s Union Master, Kong Feng. My name is Kong Tianyu!” Raising his head to the sky, he shouted, “Father, watch carefully in the Heaven, your son will avenge you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he thrust his spear forward like a dragon, causing the World Force to tremble and emit a peerless might!
Amongst the surrounding crowd, several Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage masters’ expressions changed slightly. Although Kong Tianyu’s spear seemed unremarkable, it gave them a great sense of threat. It could be imagined that in order to avenge his father’s death, Kong Tianyu must have used his full strength, secretly thinking about how to resolve this situation if they were in Yang Kai's position.
No matter how they thought about it, they couldn’t resolve it, so they could only resist it head-on. However, their cultivation was inferior to the opponent’s, so if they resisted it head-on, their small universe would be shaken, ending up being injured or even killed on the spot.
Pa…
Instead of the violent scene he had imagined, Kong Tianyu’s figure suddenly came to a stop with a light sound, as if someone had cast a Fixed Body Seal on him, and the spear he had thrust out was held in Yang Kai’s hand, unable to move.
Kong Tianyu was shocked, everyone was shocked!
