Liu Yan had been with him for many years. The two of them had always protected and helped each other for all this time. Yang Kai really wouldnβt be able to accept it if she died just like that because of this strange rock.
If that really happened, then he would definitely unearth Ye Chongβs corpse and destroy it in order to vent his anger.
But upon careful consideration, he felt that this wasnβt very likely. Ye Chong wanted Yang Kaiβs help, so there was no reason for him to direct Yang Kai to the strange rock here just to harm him.
[Yet⦠why was he constantly staring at Liu Yan when he mentioned the opportunity in this cave earlier?]
Yang Kaiβs heart was in utter chaos. At this moment, he suddenly detected a sliver of familiar aura from that strange rock.
Yang Kaiβs spirits instantly perked up when he detected this aura, βLiu Yan!β
This was definitely Liu Yanβs aura, although it was really weak. Yang Kai wouldnβt have been able to notice it if it wasnβt for Liu Yan accompanying him for so long that he became really familiar with her aura.
Her aura still being around meant that Liu Yan hadnβt died yet. She had simply been sealed in the strange rock. After he realized this, Yang Kai didnβt dare to randomly attack the strange rock anymore out of fear that he would harm Liu Yan.
However, Liu Yan wouldnβt respond at all when he tried to call her. Not only that, Yang Kai sensed from that trace amount of aura that Liu Yan was okay. Although the fluctuations were incredibly weak, there was no sign of her being injured.
It seemed as if she had gone into hibernation.
[What just happened?] Yang Kai couldnβt figure it out at all.
He carefully released his Divine Sense to investigate again, but just like last time, his Divine Sense seemed to get bitten off by a large and invisible mouth right when it entered the strange rock. Not only was his investigation fruitless, his Knowledge Sea even felt some slight pain.
It was unknown just what the strange rock was. Since it could even devour Divine Sense, it must have been extraordinary.
A tiny sliver of almost imperceptible red was spreading out from inside the strange rock and reaching its surface. Yang Kaiβs eyes lit up, as he was incomparably familiar with this red aura. This was obviously the incredibly complex power of fire that Liu Yan possessed, which contained various exotic flames that were perfectly combined together. Liu Yan was the only one in the world with such an ability, with no other ability out there like it.
[Could Liu Yan be attacking the seal from inside the rock?]
Considering all this, Yang Kaiβs nervousness was lessened significantly as he forced himself to calm down and carefully observe to try and think of some way to help Liu Yan.
When the red colour spread out, the strange rock suddenly vibrated as it then sent out a powerful suction force that madly absorbed all the World Energy in the surrounding area.
At this moment, a wild wind suddenly whipped up inside the cave and made a wailing sound. The incredibly dense World Energy in this Sealed World all entered the strange rock and seemed to completely disappear.
As the World Energy disappeared, the red colour on the surface of the strange rock became brighter and brighter. Liu Yanβs aura also became clearer and clearer.
Did the strange rock need World Energy? Yang Kaiβs brow twitched. He didnβt hesitate at all as he waved his hand and scattered millions of Source Crystals all around the strange rock. There were so many that they almost completely filled the cave. These Source Crystals were all Mid-Rank or High-Rank, with no Low-Rank Source Crystals at all. Yang Kai had obtained all of them from that Source Crystals Lode.
Yang Kai punched again and shattered the Source Crystals into dust which enveloped the strange stone in a sea of World Energy.
It could be seen with the naked eye that the strange rock was constantly absorbing the energy around it, as if it would never stop.
β¦
At the same time that Liu Yan met with danger, the winds whistled outside the Thousand Leaves Sect as the grass was covered with enemies.
Thousands of cultivators arrived in front of the Thousand Leaves Sectβs Defending Array and stared with hostility at the Thousand Leaves Sect.
These thousands of cultivators belonged to different great forces, but they seemed to all be led by a middle-aged blue-haired man. This middle-aged man had cultivated an unknown Secret Art that caused his water-blue long hair to cascade freely down his shoulder as he struck a brave and heroic figure with an authoritative expression.
He was sitting on a topless large rickshaw which was being carried by sixteen people. The rickshaw was quite wide and even gave off a strong aura, so it was evident that it was a High-Grade Artifact. At this moment, the blue-haired man was calmly sipping on some tea, as if he was simply here on a carefree vacation.
Many Masters had gathered around his side.
Sky Crane City Lord Luo Jin, whom Yang Kai had taught a vicious lesson to before, was included among them. Only a short period of time had passed, but Luo Jin had taken some unknown elixirs which actually managed to heal all his injuries. It couldnβt be seen at all that Yang Kai had previously injured him, as he had an energetic expression and healthy appearance.
The two Elders who had previously been in charge of protecting Sky Illumination Palace Young Palace Master Qiu Yu were also by the blue-haired manβs side with their heads bowed. They seemed to be really deferential to the blue-haired man.
There was also an eye-catching man whose cultivation was no worse than anyone elseβs. He had a back like a tigerβs and a waist like a bearβs. He had a wild appearance along with an aura all over his body that seemed highly violent. He seemed to be about forty to fifty years old.
This man stood to the side and kept glancing at the blue-haired middle-aged man while chuckling coldly. It seemed as if he really couldnβt stand the blue-haired manβs way of doing things.
These people were all Sect Masters from nearby Sects. They had similar power levels and status, but this blue-haired middle-aged man acted really high and mighty, like a crane amongst chickens, which would naturally make the others displeased.
If someone who didnβt know what was going on saw this scene, they would likely think that all the cultivators here were being led by that blue-haired middle-aged man.
The thousands of cultivators belonged to five or six great forces. After gathering here, they didnβt say a single word, as if they were silently waiting for something.
Luo Jinβs face was filled with hatred as he kept staring in front of him with both fists tightly clenched.
A few days ago, he had been holding a concubine welcoming ceremony at his City Lordβs Mansion, but someone ruined the ceremony in the middle of it. Not only was his concubine stolen away in front of everyoneβs eyes, but he was also seriously injured. He likely would have died already if it wasnβt for his luck.
Although only a few days had passed, everyone in the nearby area had already heard about this incident. All the cultivators in Sky Crane City also learned about this incident.
His reputation in Sky Crane City had fallen to rock bottom. Everywhere that he went, he could sense people pointing at him behind his back. Not only that, there were now even voices of dissatisfaction inside the city who were clamouring for his removal.
Luo Jin would never be able to tolerate such a matter. He had worked hard at running Sky Crane City for so many years, and it seemed that he would soon be viewed as an equal to the Sect Leaders of the nearby Sects, so of course, he wouldnβt stand for losing everything at the final moment.
The culprit behind all of this was that little brat named Yang Kai! As long as he could kill Yang Kai and wash away his previous humiliation, Luo Jin believed that he could stabilize Sky Crane City again, and nobody would dare to say no to him again!
Luo Jin loathed Yang Kai, so he didnβt have any good feelings towards the Thousand Leaves Sect that was protecting Yang Kai. Luo Jin secretly swore that it would be fine if Ye Hen knew what was good for him, but if Ye Hen didnβt, then he would teach Ye Hen the consequences.
*Hu hu huβ¦*
At this moment, a beam of light shot forth from the front. The beam then descended to reveal the Thousand Leaves Sectβs higher-ups, with Ye Hen leading them. The Vice Sect Master, Elders, and so on were all behind him.
Although Ye Hen and the others had already learned of this beforehand, their expressions still changed significantly when they saw so many Masters gathered in front of their Sect Defending Array.
This was the strength of five or six great forces gathered here. There were already more than two hundred Dao Source Realm Masters present, and more than ten Third-Order Dao Source Realm individuals. The current Thousand Leaves Sect wouldnβt possibly be able to stop such a force.
Ye Hen calmed himself down, cupped his fists, and asked, βFriends, it is our Sectβs honour to have so many of you visit us. May I ask why all of you have come here without informing us first?β
He also knew that the cultivators had come with hostile intentions, and that it was likely things wouldnβt be resolved in a friendly manner; however, he wasnβt afraid because of the Sect Defending Array. A normal Sect Defending Array would never be able to stop so many Mastersβ attacks.
However, Thousand Leaves Sectβs Defending Array was from when they were still a top Sect, and was of an extremely high grade. No ordinary Sect Defending Array could compare. If it wasnβt for the current Thousand Leaves Sect being weak, then the Sect Defending Arrayβs defensive prowess could have been raised by several more levels. Not even a dozen Emperor Realms Masters combined would be able to break through its defence once the Sect Defending Array reached that level.
Even so, the current Sect Defending Array was likely more than enough to defend against the people before them. This was why even though Thousand Leaves Sect had declined greatly, they had continued to exist without being defeated.
Without being able to break through the Sect Defending Array, nobody would dare to truly confront Thousand Leaves Sect.
Right after Ye Hen finished speaking, Luo Jin was the first to jump out as he shouted, βSect Master Ye, stop playing dumb. You really donβt know why weβre here? If you know whatβs good for you, then obediently give us the little brat named Yang Kai and his friends. Otherwise, donβt blame us for not being polite.β
When Ye Hen heard this, he furrowed his eyebrows and answered, βCity Lord Luo, what grudge do you have against Young Master Yang to make you so furious?β
Luo Jin felt as if he would explode in anger since Ye Hen was intentionally asking something he already knew. Luo Jinβs face was steely as he replied, βYe Hen, are you trying to insult this Luo? You really donβt know what happened a few days ago at my City Lordβs Mansion? Or, are you trying to humiliate me on purpose!?β
Ye Hen calmly responded, βI know a little bit, but not the details!β
Luo Jin replied furiously, βThat little brat caused a huge ruckus at my City Lordβs Mansion, stole my concubine, and injured my guests. This King could never possibly let him go!β
Ye Hen answered, βWhy is it somewhat different from what this Ye heard? This Ye heard that City Lord Luo was taking advantage of your strength to bully the weak, oppressing men and seizing women, imprisoning Young Master Yangβs friends, and forcing Young Master Yangβs mother-in-law to get married to you. That was why Young Master Yang was forced to have a major battle against City Lord Luo. Although Young Master Yang won in the end, he still magnanimously spared your lifeβ¦ Forget about not being thankful to him, City Lord Luo, how come youβre now repaying kindness with enmity after just a few days?β
Luo Jinβs face kept changing colours with anger as he roared, βYouβre spouting nonsense!β
Ye Hen replied coldly, βCountless guests were present that day, and everyone witnessed what happened. Is this Ye spouting nonsense, or is City Lord Luo the one whoβs repaying kindness with enmity? I believe that everyone here should know for themselves.β
Luo Jin felt hot blood boiling in his heart which he almost spat out of his mouth. This was the greatest humiliation of his life, so he was furious that Ye Hen was mentioning it in front of everyone. If it wasnβt for the Sect Defending Array blocking his way, he would have charged forward to try and kill Ye Hen already.
Ye Hen cupped his fists and glanced all around him, βFriends, you should know about this matter as well. You should have a talk with City Lord Luo in order to prevent him from misunderstanding anything and doing something that both the people and Heaven would look down upon.β
The cultivators who came here seemed like none of them wanted to speak when they heard this. They hadnβt come here in order to win a debate against Ye Hen. So what if Ye Hen was speaking the truth? Yang Kai had killed the elites and Elders of their Sects. Since they knew that Yang Kai was at Thousand Leaves Sect, they naturally couldnβt leave this matter alone.
