Chapter 1016, Agreement
βYou have something you need from me, naturally you wonβt risk my life,β Yang Kai scorned.
βIf I didnβt, do you think this old master would have tolerated your insolence for so long?β Gui Zu snickered coldly, βEnough nonsense, this old master didnβt know you were proficient in the Space Principle, but itβs not too late to have learned now. Come with this old master and we can cooperate to find a way out of here. How about it?β
βHow would we cooperate?β Yang Kai frowned.
βThis old master will ensure your freedom and supply you with anything you need. I promise youβll be satisfied! You, on the other hand, search for a way to leave this place and when you find it, you take this old master with you when you go,β Gui Zu smirked, βThis old masterβs Space Array clearly wonβt work, but since you have studied the Space Principle, you may be able to find some other way!β
βI donβt trust you!β Yang Kai shook his head decisively. When dealing with an old monster like this, carelessness could not be allowed.
βHow can this old master win your trust?β
βSwear an oath!β
Gui Zuβs expression became strange as he wore a ferocious grin, βWould you believe this old master even if he swore an oath? This old master could renege on it at any time!β
βSwear it in the name of your dead wife and children, then Iβll believe you!β Yang Kai said seriously.
βLittle brat, donβt reach out for a yard after taking an inch!β Gui Zuβs expression suddenly became irritated, Yang Kaiβs words seemingly touching his reverse scale, causing him to shout angrily, βIrritating me holds no advantage to you; remember, I can kill you now and obtain your knowledge of the Space Principle by searching your Soul!β
βThe chances of that working arenβt great. Perhaps youβll be able to obtain all my insights into the Space Principle, perhaps youβll get nothing, and even if you do obtain my knowledge, you wonβt necessarily be able to understand it. This kind of thing depends more on aptitude than anything else, thatβs why even after a thousand years of study you werenβt able to produce any results, your aptitude in the Space Principle is too poor!β Yang Kai spoke without reservation, unafraid of provoking Gui Zu.
Staring intently towards Gui Zu, Yang Kai asked, βDo you want to gamble?β
Gui Zuβs expression became gloomy as he stared towards Yang Kai like he couldnβt wait to butcher and eat him raw, wishing he could slap him dead and search his memories this instant but unable to help himself from hesitating.
Yang Kaiβs words had hit the nail on the head, making it impossible for Gui Zu to not hesitate.
βIf you donβt swear an oath on your dead wife and childrenβs souls, Iβll rush into The Void right now and not come out for a lifetime. Iβd rather die in there than work with you. After I die, you can go bang your head against your Space Array. I wish you the best of luck,β saying so, Yang Kai didnβt give Gui Zu any time to consider and stepped further into the Void.
βWait!β Gui Zu shouted, his face twitching as a gloomy aura pulsed from his body.
Suddenly, he laughed and nodded, βLittle brat, your courage isnβt small, even daring to discuss conditions with this old master.β
Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders, βTrying to cooperate as equals with you is impossible, I have to be careful.β
βGood, you win! This old master swears in the name of his wife and children, as long as you cooperate with me, I will not bring any harm to you. If I violate this oath, may Heavenly lightning strike me down so I die like a dog!β
Yang Kai shook his head.
βLittle brat, what do you want now?β Gui Zu shouted.
βItβs not you that should be struck down by Heavenly thunder and die like a dog, this kind of oath carries no real weight, how you should be swearing, do you need me to explain?β
Gui Zu glared at him coldly, a biting chill flashing across his eyes as palpable killing intent pulsed from his body.
Slowly closing his eyes, Gui Zu no longer played any tricks with his words and honestly made a vicious vow on the souls of his dead wife and children.
Yang Kai stepped out from The Void and said faintly, βWouldnβt it have been easier to say that from the start?β
βBoy, I want nothing more than to kill you right now, reduce your body to ash, and extinguish your soul to soothe the hatred in my heart,β Gui Zu stared at him menacingly.
βI believe Senior is a man who values his wife and children far more than himself, otherwise you would not still be obsessed with seeking vengeance for them after an entire two thousand years,β Yang Kai smiled carefreely, βSenior is a man of unreasonable passion.β
Gui Zuβs cruel and violent aura, like snow under a hot sun, quickly melted as his eyes filled with a look of nostalgia, seeming thinking back fondly on his wife and children.
βThe past cannot be changed. You come back with me first, from now on weβre partners in finding a way out of here,β His tone suddenly calmed down, as if the few words Yang Kai said had dispelled his previous indignation.
Saying so, with a wave of his sleeve, he wrapped Yang Kai up in his Saint Qi and carried him back the way they came.
On top of the mountain, everyone remained on edge, silently waiting.
Although Gui Zu had left almost an hour ago, none of them dared try to leave.
This entire continent was Gui Zuβs territory, there was nowhere they could escape to.
Everyone felt incredibly uneasy in their hearts and were secretly wishing Gui Zu would never return, allowing them to die peacefully of old age.
However, in the midst of their uneasiness, Yue Xiβs expression suddenly changed as she muttered, βHeβs coming back.β
Saying so, she turned her head towards a certain direction.
Following her gaze, everyone else also noticed a black cloud that was rapidly approaching, Gui Zuβs cold and gloomy aura radiating from it.
Despair once again enveloped all of their hearts.
βHuh?β Shen Tu however suddenly called out as he stared towards the dark cloud with a confused look upon his face. He had just vaguely seen Yang Kaiβs figure inside that dark cloud and couldnβt help feeling startled.
The others also quickly discovered this strange phenomenon and were taken aback.
Yang Kai had previously been thrown into the Void Corridor by Gui Zu, yet now he was returning together with Gui Zu from afar. None of them could find an explanation for what they were witnessing.
A moment later, the dark cloud fell to the ground and the figures of Gui Zu and Yang Kai appeared in front of everyone.
After confirming their eyes werenβt playing tricks on them, everyone only became even more confused, all of their eyes drifting back and forth between Yang Kai and Gui Zu curiously.
Soon though, they became shocked as they discovered that Gui Zu and Yang Kai seemed to have come to some sort of agreement, with the old monsterβs attitude towards Yang Kai taking a significant turn for the better.
βIf you need anything, just ask; find a method as soon as possible though, this old master does not want to wait,β Gui Zu faintly said.
βEven if you donβt want to wait, youβll have to wait,β Yang Kai shook his head, βThanks to you, the space around this continent is incredibly chaotic now, if it werenβt, I wouldnβt have been caught by you, I could have just hidden in The Void and not come out.β
βWhat does that have to do with this old master?β Gui Zu asked indignantly.
βThis Space Array is yours, isnβt itβ¦β Yang Kai pointed behind him.
Gui Zu suddenly looked embarrassed and didnβt say anymore.
Although he wasnβt proficient in the mysteries of space, he had still studied the subject for a thousand years and knew that what Yang Kai had said about the local space being chaotic was definitely a result of him continuously using his shoddy array to open an unstable Void Corridor.
βStop using this array for a while and wait until the chaotic space becomes stable, then I can start searching for an appropriate method,β Yang Kai said.
Gui Zu didnβt say a word, waved his sleeve, and shut down the Space Array, closing the Void Corridor in an instant.
βHow long will it take?β Gui Zu asked eagerly.
βI donβt know.β Yang Kai shook his head, βPerhaps half a month, maybe a few months, maybe a few years or more, I canβt say.β
βLittle brat, are you just looking for an excuse stall for time?β Gui Zu stared at him suspiciously, βDonβt forget, although I swore an oath, that only applies if you are cooperating with me, if you dare play any tricks, this old master will absolutely show no mercy.β
βWhat benefit does stalling for time give me? Even if I wasted ten years of time I still wouldnβt be your opponent!β Yang Kai snorted.
βGood that you know!β Gui Zu nodded with satisfaction, βFor the time being, you live here. There is a secluded cave this old master opened up over there, and the density of the World Energy aura there is the highest in the entire continent. You can cultivate there for a while, allowing you to easily return to this spot. If you need anything else, just let me know.β
Gui Zu said before vanishing into thin air.
Not sparing Lu Gui Chen or Yue Xi a single glance.
After Gui Zu left, Shen Tu came up to Yang Kai and asked, βYang Kai, whatβs going on? Why do you and that Senior seem to be getting along so well nowβ¦ Also, how did you get escape from that Void Corridor?β
His head was full of fog and his face couldnβt hide his doubts.
The same was true of all the others as well, each of them staring towards Yang Kai, expecting him to explain it to them.
βHe needs my help, so the two of us reached an agreement,β Yang Kai explained casually.
βHe needs help from you?β Shen Tu was dumbstruck.
βWhat kind of skill do you possess that could force a master like him to work with you?β Yue Xi frowned, obviously not believing him.
Yang Kai glanced over at her briefly but was too lazy to explain.
βLittle brother β¦β¦β Lu Gui Chen lightly coughed, his face full of smiles, drastically changing how he addressed Yang Kai as he spoke, βMay I ask, does this mean that weβre temporarily safe? That Senior wonβt force us into that Void Corridor to explore the way?β
βEn,β Yang Kai nodded, βNone of you will need to enter that Void Corridor again.β
βReally?β He Miaoβs beautiful eyes lit up and she jumped for joy, feeling an unparalleled sense of relief.
βBut whether or not youβre safe, I donβt know!β Yang Kai smiled softly as he stared towards Lu Gui Chen meaningfully.
Lu Gui Chenβs face suddenly changed, remembering that he and this young man had some deep grievances between them.
When they had first arrived here, it was he who sealed up Yang Kaiβs Saint Qi, causing him to lose his strength.
Now, Yang Kai and Gui Zu had reached an agreement of some sort, so his status was obviously different from before.
As long as he had the asylum of that old monster, Yang Kai could act any way he wanted to!
Realizing this, Lu Gui Chen expression became flustered, not waiting for Yang Kai to have any stray thoughts and quickly wearing a flattering smile, cupping his fists and saying, βLittle brother, before, this Lu had eyes but failed to see and committed some offences. I hope little brother can be generous and forgive these indiscretions.β
Bi Yaβs pretty face also paled, her pair of watery eyes filling with panic as she squeezed out an embarrassed smile, speaking in as charming a voice as she could muster, βLittle brother, earlier, I was wrong and treated you without the proper respect you deserve. I hope you can be merciful and not haggle of such things. From now on, I will listen to your instructions and do for you whatever it is you ask, I ensure you will not be disappointed with me!β
Her last words were spoken very meaningfully; as long as one was a man, they would be able to understand exactly what she was suggesting.
