Chapter 476 β A Mouse Meeting a Cat?
Tao Yang didnβt hold any hope, he was just afraid of angering this master, so he only pretends to be open-minded.
But after talking to him for a while, Tao Yangβs expression slowly became solemn. He found that this middle-aged man really hadnβt specialized in Artifact Refining and it was very likely that he rarely did any Artifact Refining himself, but he indeed possessed some mastery in the subject. This Seniorβs knowledge of Artifact Refining techniques far exceeded his own understanding and insights. The many things he spoke about were completely unheard of and were beyond this worldβs current Artifact Refining standards.
It didnβt take long for Tao Yangβs solemn emmxpression to become one of shock. Even Wu Yan, who had formerly disdained to participate in this conversation, began listening in.
After half an hour, Wu Yan finally couldnβt help but get involved. He put forward his own opinions on the issues of Artifact Refining while discussing and debating ideas with Senior Deβ¦
War City, inside Yang Kai and his Little Senior Sisterβs room, Yang Kai let out a long breath and the bone shield in his hands finally turned into a stream of light, disappearing into his body.
Refining a Mysterious Grade artifact had taken Yang Kai a full five days, and even this was only achievable with his extremely pure True Yang Yuan Qi. If someone else at his cultivation level wanted to refine this Mysterious Grade artifact, without ten days to a half month, it would be fundamentally impossible.
As soon as the the bone shield entered his body, Yang Kai understood its structure and functions and after a moment of contemplation, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
A Mysterious Grade artifact was really out of the ordinary. The role it could play was not small, if used properly, it could turn the tide of a battle.
Yang Kai naturally had his reasons for refining this bone shield and not the ice mirror or small sword.
The grade of the ice mirror was higher than that of the bone shield, so the time it would take to refine would be much longer. As for the small sword, it was a Soul type artifact and Yang Kai was conscious of the fact that although his Divine Sense was powerful, without a Knowledge Sea, he would find this artifact difficult to refine.
Therefore the bone shield became the natural first choice.
When the bone shield entered his body, the innate technique of this Mysterious Grade artifact became known to Yang Kai. On top of that, his True Element Boundary Eighth Stage cultivation had been fully consolidated.
Yang Kai estimated that if he were to refine the ice mirror now he could immediately break through to the True Element Boundary Ninth Stage!
As oneβs strength increased, if they wanted to break through to the next realm it wasnβt enough to simply accumulate True Qi, it was just as, if not more important to strengthen oneβs mental fortitude and deepen oneβs understanding of the Martial Dao.
Once both these requirements were met, the accumulation of True Qi would become very easy.
As he was studying the mysteries of the bone shield, Yang Kai suddenly felt a ripple in his mind and couldnβt help lifting his head, turning his eyes in a certain direction as a thick smile appeared on his face.
βOld Demon, youβve finally appeared!β Yang Kai grinned, quickly getting up, opening the door and going out.
βLittle Lord!β Ying Jiu appeared like a ghost.
Yang Kai gave him a faint look and swept him with his Divine Sense, quickly nodding as he realizing he had fully restored his strength before casually saying, βCultivate yourself. For the time being, I have no urgent tasks for you.β
βYes!β Ying Jiuβs figure gradually faded into the shadows.
In fact, Ying Jiu was a little surprised, he hadnβt expected Yang Kai to have no reaction to his current state; apparently he had complete faith in Meng Wu Ya being able to break the Qi Binding Seal.
The door to the room next door suddenly opened and Meng Wu Ya stepped out with a dignified expression, staring off into the distance.
βThereβs a strong Demonic Qi!β Treasurer Meng looked at Yang Kai intentionally or unintentionally as he spoke, βAnd itβs somewhat familiar!β
βYouβve met before.β Yang Kai grinned.
Meng Wu Yaβs brow wrinkled for a moment before his eyes widened, βThat Devil Lord?β
βCorrect.β Yang Kai gently nodded.
Once, a long time ago, in his secluded cave below the Coiling Dragon Stream, Meng Wu Ya had forcefully removed Old Demon from Yang Kai. At the time, the two had gotten into an odd argument but because Old Demon was only a Soul form Treasurer Meng was able to easily suppress him, but Yang Kai was keenly aware that even then Meng Wu Ya was somewhat wary of Old Demon.
βSince it is him, then this old master wonβt find trouble with him. When he gets here let him come see me,β Meng Wu Ya said, a faint look of reminiscence creeping into his expression.
Yang Kai was surprised but quickly nodded.
βYou little brat. Donβt think badly of this old master, but you better be careful with that Devil Lord, heβs not as simple as you think.β
βI know.β
βAlso, make sure he doesnβt act out, those eight masters in War City who are monitoring everything must have detected him already.β
Remembering this point, Yang Kai suddenly felt some headaches. There were currently Eight Above Immortal Ascension Boundary masters from the Central Capital Eight Great Families who were tasked with supervising War City and the Inheritance War. The Old Demonβs aura couldnβt possibly have been missed by these eight people and although he served Yang Kai, if he were to act too outlandishly, these eight masters would certainly not just sit by and watch.
After a few words, Meng Wu Ya turned around and walked back into his room.
Yang Kai wore a helpless look before shaking his head and walking out. He really wanted to know what Old Demon had been up to these past few months.
Moreover, from what he had sensed, Old Demon wasnβt alone but was actually accompanied by Leng Shan as well.
Since Leng Shan was with him, the disciples from Ghost King Valley he knew would definitely be with her as well; this was something far outside Yang Kaiβs expectations.
As he was walking towards the mansionβs entrance, Yang Kai called out to a passing cultivator and said, βGo and call Qiu Yi Meng!β
βYes!β The man responded and hurriedly left to find Qiu Yi Meng.
At the compoundβs entrance, the Qiu Familyβs First Young Lady appeared, a curious look upon her face, βWhat is it?β
βWe are receiving some guests!β Yang Kai replied casually.
βGuests?β Qiu Yi Mengβs frowned for a moment but immediately grinned, βSomeoneβs coming to support you?β
βSomething like that.β Yang Kai said ambiguously.
Qiu Yi Meng smiled faintly as she looked at him. Although she didnβt know how he knew someone was coming, since he said so, he probably wasnβt wrong, so she simply nodded, βItβs always good to have more people, and our strength will definitely grow.β
βThe ones coming right now are a little different, youβll have to take special care in their arrangements. Pay special attention to not let them have any conflicts with the other forces in the house.β
βWhat do you mean?β Qiu Yi Meng didnβt understand, what force could make Yang Kai pay such attention to? Whether it was a super-force, first-class families, or second-class Sects, Yang Kaiβs attitude towards them had always been the same, he never looked down on those who came from weaker forces and never curried favour with those who came from stronger ones. It was exactly because of his fair and even handed manner that everyone in the mansion felt at ease.
But now, he actually wanted her to pay special attention to these newcomers. Qiu Yi Meng couldnβt help wondering if there was something different or special about this group which would cause Yang Kai to concern himself with them.
βThey come from the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land, do you understand?β Yang Kai turned his eyes and looked at Qiu Yi Meng.
In the Qiu Familyβs First Young Ladyβs mind, the images of two women suddenly appeared, one was a mature and seductive beauty, the other was a naked girl with a white liquid dripping from her lips, βIs that Demon Queen coming?β
βNo, theyβre from the Ghost King Valley.β Yang Kai shook his head.
Qiu Yi Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief before nodding, βI understand.β
Since they came from the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land, they were Evil Sect disciples and may have grudges with the Sect forces in the house. If things werenβt handled well, it would only cause a fire in the backyard.
But since when did this smelly man have a relationship with Ghost King Valley?
Qiu Yi Meng was once again surprised by the number of Yang Kaiβs allies.
After a not long or short wait, a large group of people walked in front of the house; more than thirty of them in total. Seeing this, Qiu Yi Meng welcomed all of them with a big smile.
Yang Kai held his hands behind his back and stood there quietly, his eyes landing on a middle-aged man at the head of the group, his lips slowly curling into a grin.
Turning his gaze to the ones behind him, every Ghost King Valley disciple that he had met in the Evil Cavern was there.
But what really surprised and excited Yang Kai was that his friends from Treasure Instrument Sect were with them as well!
Not long after the start of the Inheritance War, Yang Kai had the Bamboo Knot Gang deliver two letters which had resulted in his Little Senior Sister immediately rushing over.
Unfortunately, Treasure Instrument Sect hadnβt responded. As for the other forces in his compound, they had all gathered here on their own accord without Yang Kai needing to ask!
But now, Tao Yang and the others from his Sect had finally appeared, lifting a big weight from Yang Kaiβs heart. The only thing that made him feel strange was why these three groups of people had arrived together.
On top of that, Yang Kai was curious why both the Ghost King Valley and the Treasure Instrument Sect members all showed such great respect towards Old Demon.
What exactly had Old Demon done? Yang Kai frowned and thought.
After having been separated for so long, Old Demon seemed a bit nervous as he led everyone forward. Although he didnβt want to publicise the real nature of his relationship with Yang Kai, he still cupped his fists respectfully and said, βYoung Master, please calm downβ¦ this old man wishes to die oldβ¦ and as a humble husband!β
Yang Kai coldly snorted and cut him off, βI thought you wouldnβt show yourself in front of me for the rest of your life!β
Old Demonβs expression suddenly became panicked, quickly trying to explain, βNo no, hasnβt this old master come? Before I just had a little accident, hahaβ¦β
βWeβll talk about your βaccidentβ later.β Yang Kai gave him a sharp look.
Old Demon winced but eventually nodded, glancing over at Qiu Yi Meng who stood next to Yang Kai with a smile, secretly praising this unknown girl for her vision, thinking she was at least qualified to warm the Young Masterβs bed.
Qiu Yi Meng returned the gesture to Old Demon. Although this person gave her an uncomfortable feeling, he was still someone who had come to support Yang Kai.
Behind them, the Ghost King Valley and Treasure Instrument Sect members watched this scene play out.
On their way here, the two factions had thoroughly experienced the power and mystery of Old Demon. Those from Ghost King Valley watched as their Ghost King Seals were fed a black mist by him, causing them to fall into a deep sleep while undergoing an astonishing evolution. Wu Yan and the other Treasure Instrument Sect members had also gained many inspirations and insights into the Dao of Artifact Refining from Old Demon. Whether it was in demeanor or speech, everyone treated him very respectfully.
However, such a mysterious, powerful, brutal, and bloodthirsty master, in front of Yang Kai, actually seemed more like a mouse meeting a cat.
[What is happening?]
All of them were stunned by this display.
βBrother Yang, long time no see!β After collecting themselves, the Ghost King Valley disciples, along with Tao Yang and his fellow disciples came forward.
βEn, too long indeed.β Yang Kai glanced around at all of them, βIβm glad all of you came. You didnβt encounter any trouble on the road, did you?β
As he said these words, he shot a glance over at Old Demon, he was really afraid that this wily old Devil Lord had done something to them.
βNo no, just some minor troubles, fortunately, this Senior arrived in time to help, allowing us to arrive here safely.β Everyone spoke at once.
All of them understood what should be said and what should not, how could they suddenly expose the cruel methods Old Demon had shown them?
