“Let her go, if there’s anything you want to ask me, you can ask me. She’s just an Emperor Realm, what does she know?” Hei He quickly rushed back, blood dripping from his mouth as he grit his teeth and shouted.
Xuanyuan Heaven's several Open Heaven Stage masters surrounded him, Hei He was outnumbered and was easily taken down after a few exchanges. His cultivation was sealed and he was in a sorry state.
“Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!” Xuanyuan Heaven’s Sixth Order Elder coldly snorted, looked at Hei He, and then at the unconscious woman in his hand, lightly saying, “There’s no need to trouble yourself, this Elder will investigate on his own.”
Saying so, the power of his Soul surged towards the woman’s Knowledge Sea.
Seeing this, Hei He's eyes narrowed as he cried out in horror, “As an Elder of Xuanyuan Heaven, how could you use such despicable methods?” The young man in front of him was actually using Soul Search!
The Soul Searching Technique was extremely vicious, and if one wanted to use it, they would need to have a suppressive force. However, once the Soul Searching Technique was used, the subject of the technique would either have their soul destroyed, or suffer damage to their Soul, so no one would casually use the Soul Searching Technique.
Hei He had never imagined that this young man in front of him, as Xuanyuan Heaven's Elder, would so brazenly use Soul Searching for an Emperor Realm.
The difference between a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage and Emperor Realm master who had just condensed a Dao Seal was like the difference between Heaven and Earth. When he used this Soul Searching Technique, the woman was unable to resist.
Her frail and delicate body suddenly trembled uncontrollably as her beautiful eyes widened in pain. Blood gushed out from her mouth and instantly dyed her clothes red. At the same time, Xuanyuan Heaven Elder’s expression changed from curiosity to surprise and excitement.
A moment later, the power of his Soul calmed down and Xuanyuan Heaven Elder’s eyes flashed brightly as he grinned maliciously, “So you came from this place, hahahaha, what a surprise!”
Casually throwing the woman in his hand away, the woman’s eyes were dull and lifeless. Although she had not died, it was clear that her Soul had been severely damaged. In this situation, even if she did not die, she would be crippled.
“You’ll die a horrible death!” Hei He roared, thinking about how his Master had handed over the Star Boundary’s people to him to take care of. He had never thought that the first time he had brought people here, such an accident would occur. If his Master were to find out about this, he didn’t know what kind of fate he would suffer.
How could the Xuanyuan Heaven's Elder and the other Fifth Order masters allow him to act so arrogantly? Their fists and kicks collided, causing Hei He to vomit blood.
“Bring them along and give Brother Pei and Martial Uncle Zuo a big present!”
…
A month later, in the Void Territory, the constant struggle between the two sides had left both sides exhausted, but since they had already formed a blood feud, no one would back down.
Another fierce confrontation broke out as both sides withdrew their forces.
Inside the main hall, Yang Kai was checking the number of casualties when a terrifying pressure suddenly spread from afar. Yang Kai’s expression changed as he quickly stood up and looked towards the source of this pressure, shouting, “Zuo Quan Hui!”
Could it be that he couldn’t help but take action personally?
Many of the Sixth Order Open Heaven master in the hall also wore solemn looks on their faces. The Iron Blood Great Emperor and the others who had remained hidden until now were all rubbing their fists in anticipation. If Zuo Quan Hui were to act, they would no longer be able to continue hiding.
However, before Yang Kai could figure out what was happening, Chen Tian Fei rolled in like a ball and said in a panic, “Sir, there’s something wrong with Heavenly Sword Palace. Zuo Quan Hui is personally pursuing someone.”
“Who?” Yang Kai was stunned.
Chen Tian Fei shook his head, the fat on his face rippling as he replied, “This subordinate doesn’t know, it’s too far to see.”
Yang Kai’s brow furrowed as his figure flickered and he appeared outside the hall, his eyes sweeping over the scene in front of him. A moment later, he exclaimed, “Luan Bai Feng has been exposed.”
Luan Bai Feng had been hiding well ever since she had joined Zuo Quan Hui’s side, but this time she had somehow been exposed. At this moment, she had transformed into a beam of light and was fleeing in this direction, with Zuo Quan Hui and a large group of Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters chasing after her.
Did this woman attack Zuo Quan Hui?
He had previously given Luan Bai Feng an order to find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Zuo Quan Hui. Although there was a gap of one grade between them, if Luan Bai Feng was not careful, it was not impossible for her to succeed.
But why would he choose to act now?
Yang Kai didn’t understand, so he didn’t have time to think about it and simply shouted, “Senior Iron Blood, you wait here for now, the others will follow me!”
Since Zuo Quan Hui had already made his move, it was only natural that he would not be able to maintain his position. In his own camp, he was the only one who could fight Zuo Quan Hui.
Since Luan Bai Feng had been exposed, if he didn’t go to her aid, she would most likely die.
Activating his Space Laws, he brought the ten Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage with him and rushed forward.
As the distance between them shortened, Yang Kai could clearly see a huge hand shadow behind Luan Bai Feng grabbing towards her from all directions. Luan Bai Feng was dodging and howling, and this woman seemed to be injured, her snow white dress dyed red.
What surprised Yang Kai was that Luan Bai Feng didn’t seem to be alone. She was holding a figure in each of her hands, whether it was alive or not is unknown.
Who were these two? Yang Kai frowned slightly.
However, as they got closer, Yang Kai felt a faint connection. This connection was something only those who had left their names on the Loyalty List could have.
His Loyalty List was now filled with the names of nine people, including Luan Bai Feng, Mao Zhe, Geng Qing, Zhou Ya, Grey Bones, Chen Tian Fei, and Yun Xinghua. Only Hei He and Xin Peng remained.
Thinking of this, Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat as an uneasy feeling filled his body.
The Space Laws became more violent as his figure flickered, rapidly approaching Luan Bai Feng.
The giant hand behind Luan Bai Feng was getting closer, and seeing that Luan Bai Feng could no longer dodge, Yang Kai could only grit his teeth, raise his Azure Dragon Spear, and thrust forward.
On the tip of the spear, a huge black ball flashed and a World Force burst forth, sending out a terrifying shockwave.
A giant black hole suddenly appeared on the giant hand that was grabbing towards Luan Bai Feng, sending out a powerful suction force.
The giant hand collapsed, although it was still able to grab towards Luan Bai Feng, she barely managed to dodge.
Finally catching up, Yang Kai broke out in a cold sweat and his figure flickered as he directly arrived beside Luan Bai Feng, asking in concern, “How is it!”
Luan Bai Feng’s face paled slightly as she nodded, “Many thanks, Sir!”
If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s timely assistance just now, it would have been impossible for her to escape the pursuit of a Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage master.
Yang Kai nodded lightly and looked towards the two people in her hand, meeting the gaze of one of them.
The man’s face was covered in blood and his aura was extremely weak. Looking up at Yang Kai, he weakly called out, “Sir!”
“Hei He!” Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed as he looked to the other side, only to meet a pair of blank eyes.
“Lan Xun!”
Of the two people Luan Bai Feng was carrying, one was Hei He, the other was the daughter of Bright Moon Great Emperor, the master of Star Soul Palace, Lan Xun!
How did Lan Xun and Hei He appear in the Heavenly Sword Palace? What did they encounter? In an instant, Yang Kai’s mind was filled with thousands of thoughts. Seeing the two of them in such a miserable state, his chest filled with a burning rage.
“Sir, this humble subordinate has failed you, please punish me!” Hei He clearly only had half his life left, yet he was still thinking about the task Yang Kai had given him.
“Now is not the time to talk about these things, take Lan Xun to my Void Land’s headquarter first,” Yang Kai suppressed the fire in his heart and quietly ordered.
Hei He nodded vigorously and struggled to stand up, using his strength to wrap around Lan Xun before quickly retreating.
“Still able to fight?” Yang Kai looked towards Luan Bai Feng.
Luan Bai Feng brushed her hair behind her ear, “I won’t die!”
Yang Kai nodded and coldly looked forward, the many Sixth Order masters standing around him all standing in a line, their auras surging.
A thousand kilometer away, the group of Sixth Order Heavenly Sword Union masters who were pursuing them suddenly stopped. There were a total of ten of them. Yang Kai’s eyes swept over them one by one before suddenly fixing on one of them.
“Yin Xinzhao!” Yang Kai’s face sank slightly.
Luan Bai Feng said from the side, “This person just arrived and I didn’t have time to send you a message. He was the one who brought Hei He and Lan Xun here, so I used the excuse of imprisoning them to escape.”
However, escaping from the Heavenly Sword Palace was not an easy task. Even though Luan Bai Feng was a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, she was still severely injured by Zuo Quan Hui’s palm strike. If it weren’t for Zuo Quan Hui’s trust in her and his lack of vigilance, she probably wouldn’t have had a chance to leave the Heavenly Sword Palace.
“Many thanks!” Yang Kai took a deep breath. Although there was no air in the void, Yang Kai still felt a chill in his chest and lungs.
Fortunately, he had arranged for Luan Bai Feng to join Zuo Quan Hui’s side, otherwise Hei He and Lan Xun would have died today. It was also thanks to Luan Bai Feng’s decisiveness that she had been able to save Hei He and Lan Xun, even though she had exposed her identity.
Yang Kai didn’t know why Hei He and Lan Xun had fallen into Yin Xinzhao’s hands, so he could only ask Hei He about this matter later. Moreover, Lan Xun’s condition made him a bit worried. It was obvious from Lan Xun’s appearance that she was in a daze and didn’t know what kind of poisonous hand she had suffered.
The Bright Moon Great Emperor had sacrificed his life for the Star Boundary back then, and without the Bright Moon Great Emperor, there would have been no today's Star Boundary. Lan Xun was his only bloodline, so he couldn’t allow anything to happen to her.
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful. When he brought six hundred thousand people from the Star Boundary to the Void Land, most of the people from the Star Soul Palace had come, but Lan Xun hadn’t. To her, the Star Boundary was the home of the Bright Moon Great Emperor who had used his life to protect it, so she was extremely attached to it.
That was why she had chosen to remain in the Star Boundary and Star Soul Palace.
Yang Kai didn’t force her. After all, there were many people who had stayed behind to guard the Star Boundary, including Yang Fourth Master, Dong Suzhu, and High Heaven Sect’s Chief Manager Hua Qing Si. Yang Kai had also ordered Hei He to guard the Star Boundary, so he thought nothing would happen.
However, something unexpected happened.
If he had known this would happen, he would have brought Lan Xun along.
But thinking about it carefully, if it wasn’t Lan Xun this time, it could have been Hua Qing Si or someone else.
Suppressing the roiling emotions in his heart, Yang Kai looked forward again, but he didn’t see Zuo Quan Hui’s figure. Zuo Quan Hui had clearly chased after them just now, but now he was nowhere to be seen.
This old dog was still as timid as a mouse!
