Chapter 663, Seize The Initiative
After listening to Li Rongβs βexplanationβ, Yang Kai was speechless for a long time.
If what this woman said was true, Yang Kai could understand why her attitude towards him had suddenly changed. It would only be natural for such a change to occur after she recognized the Great Demon supreme-rulerβs Demon Eye of Annihilation.
But that was just her side of the story, not enough to fully convince Yang Kai.
βThis is all one big coincidence. The reason why I am here is because I was accidentally captured by the Coffin Carrying Man, are you certain that what is in my Knowledge Sea is really the Demon Eye of Annihilation?β
βAbsolutely,β Not only did Li Rong nod, but even Hua Mo and Han Fei showed a look of certainty, βWe are the blood descendants of the Ancient Demon Clan, our ancestors were the closest servants of Sir Great Demon supreme-ruler, we will not be mistaken about this, and who is to say that you being sent here wasnβt the result of Sir Great Demon supreme-rulerβs guidance?β
βEven soβ¦ you donβt have to follow the example of your ancestors, pledging your fealty to me, this kind of thingβ¦ Heh, honestly, Iβm not too interested,β Yang Kai slowly shook his head.
Li Rong was stunned, but after thinking about it for a moment, she suddenly understood what Yang Kai was hesitant about.
Although he had been able to suppress all of their Ancient Demon Clan when he used his Demon supreme-ruler Transformation, his cultivation right now was still only Immortal Ascension Boundary Eighth Stage. Without the Demon supreme-ruler Transformation, many of her clansmen could easily put him to death.
If he wanted their clan to truly submit to him, it would be impossible without him having absolute strength.
βIf master is concerned about his own strength not being sufficient, then thereβs no need to worry. The three of us expressing our opinion to you right now is not because of your current strength, but your future potential! I believe that since the Demon Eye of Annihilation chose you, your future accomplishments will not be worse off when compared to Sir Great Demon supreme-rulerβ
βYou seem to have a great deal of faith in me,β Yang Kai shook his head and smiled, his expression quickly becoming solemn, βLetβs not talk about this for now, for the moment, I am interested in other things.β
βIf that is what Master wishes, then please do say,β Li Rong did not want to force Yang Kai to agree now. She knew if she pushed too hard it would only be counterproductive; for now, this human boy was still suspicious of her Ancient Demon Clan.
βI heard that Demon supreme-ruler Citadel has many Martial Skills and Secret Arts that are related to your Demon supreme-ruler Transformation?β
Li Rong smiled lightly, βIf itβs about that, thereβs no need for you to ask, you will have free access to all of those techniques. Masterβs Demon supreme-ruler Transformation should have been obtained directly from the Demon Eye of Annihilation, correct? If so, then it is the most orthodox Demon supreme-ruler Transformation. Since the power of Sir Great Demon supreme-ruler flows through Masterβs body, it is reasonable to understand it as such.β
Yang Kai didnβt say anything.
Li Rongβs speculation was actually wrong. He had no idea about what the Demon supreme-ruler Transformation was before he came to this Mysterious Small World, and his Devil Transformation technique wasnβt obtained from the Demon Eye of Annihilation, but rather from the mysterious Unyielding Golden Skeleton.
βMaster, I am only trying to speak the truth, I hope you wonβt be angry,β Li Rong giggled as she observed Yang Kaiβs reactions.
Yang Kai just shrugged his shoulders in response.
βMasterβs Demon supreme-ruler Transformation is too overbearing and although it already has the ability to restrain all of my clan, your understanding of the technique seems to be very shallow so you are unable to exert its full power. Right now, Masterβs Demon supreme-ruler Transformation is still only at the initial stage.β
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment but quickly became pleasantly surprised and asked, βYou mean, my Demon supreme-ruler Transformation can still be further strengthened?β
βIndeed,β Li Rong nodded, βIf not so, then how would my Ancient Demon Clan be able to guard and fight alongside you?β
Currently, when Yang Kai displayed his Demon supreme-ruler Transformation, everyone from the Ancient Demon Clan around him would be paralyzed. If they tried to fight an enemy in that state, they would only die in vain. Even a master like Li Rong would be easily killed by a cultivator far weaker than her if she was incapable of defending herself.
βAt the very least, you must cultivate your Demon supreme-ruler Transformation to the second level. Only by achieving the second level will you be able to freely control your ability to restrain my Ancient Demon Clan, allowing us to fight together,β Li Rong quickly said.
βInteresting,β Yang Kai smiled. Before he had enough strength to convince the Ancient Demon Clan to submit to him, Yang Kai was not interested in Li Rong and the otherβs announcing their desire to serve him, because his ability was definitely not enough to convince the general public. Even if these three leaders swore an oath to him, he wouldnβt accept, because if he couldnβt display enough competence in the role, it would only lead to their dissatisfaction and cause them to slowly despise him.
During the Inheritance War, Yang Kai had already had a similar experience with the Yang Family, so he had some understanding of these matters.
But studying the Demon supreme-ruler Transformation was something he was interested in.
Yang Kai would never let go of any opportunity to increase his strength.
βYou can look for me at any time to read those ancient books,β Li Rong gently nodded.
βThen letβs do so tomorrow, youβve told me so much today that I need some time to digest all of it,β Yang Kai said.
βVery well, your servants will calmly await Masterβs arrival.β
βAlso, donβt call me that way, it feels awkward,β Yang Kaiβs brow furrowed, the more this woman who was a hundred times stronger than him called him Master the more uncomfortable he felt.
βThenβ¦ how should we address you? Weβll do as you like.β
βJust call me like you did before,β Yang Kai smiled, βYour clansmen, if they hear you calling me Master, well, Iβm not sure what theyβd think, at the very least it would provoke some unnecessary disputes.β
Li Rong laughed in spite of trying not to, βYouβve thought things through quite thoroughly. The Ancient Demon Clan has always taken the four Great Commanders as their leaders, as long as we three recognize you, everyone will recognize you, but since you insist, I wonβt insist. Good, Iβll let you get some rest, weβll retire first.β
Yang Kai nodded lightly.
Li Rong and Hua Mo nodded back and their Soul avatars quickly withdrew.
Han Fei hesitated for a moment, a complicated expression flashing across her face.
βIs there something else?β Yang Kaiβs brow rose slightly.
βNo, I just wanted to thank you for saving me back at the volcano.β
βYou also saved me, so neither of us owes the other,β Yang Kai slowly shook his head.
βEven so, a few days from now Iβll send you something; perhaps it will be of use to you.β
βSend me something? What?β
βYouβll understand when you see it,β Han Fei said before also withdrawing from Yang Kaiβs Knowledge Sea.
When Yang Kai opened his eyes again, he discovered that the three Great Commanders had yet to leave his room and were instead standing in front of him, Li Rong smiling as she said, βI forgot to ask, do you want to change your room? This place was originally only meant as an Alchemy room.β
Before she was certain about the speculations she had about Yang Kai, Li Rong hadnβt wanted to offer him too much in terms of accommodations and privileges, lest it draws suspicions from her subordinates, but now that she was certain, naturally she wanted to provide him with better living conditions.
βNo need, Iβve grown used to this place. I can practice Alchemy here whenever I want,β Yang Kai shook his head.
βAbout our Alchemy requestβ¦β Li Rong smiled awkwardly, βBefore now it was just trade between you and my clan, but now that circumstances have changed, if you no longer want toβ¦β
βYou donβt have to worry about that, I was sincere when I originally told you I wanted to study Alchemy, I should really be thanking you for providing me with such a good opportunity to do so.β
Hearing this, Li Rong couldnβt help but breathe a sigh of relief as she directed a grateful look towards Yang Kai.
Now, Li Rong naturally couldnβt demand Yang Kai to continue pursuing the Alchemic Way, if he were to strongly refuse, she would have no choice but to acquiesce.
βWould you like us to send you a few maidservants to take care of your needs? The young girls from my clan, whether it is their beauty or temperament, are no less outstanding than those from your Human raceβ¦β Li Rong bit her lip and asked blushingly.
Hua Moβs expression remained indifferent, seemingly thinking that all human males were lascivious by nature.
(PewPewLazerGun: Damn straight we are!)
(Silavin: Shhh. Donβt expose us)
(Leo: His name is PewPewLazerGunβ¦)
However, Han Fei couldnβt help but cough a little, her expression a bit unnatural as she averted her gaze.
βJust Guanβer is fine, thereβs no need to send anyone else,β Yang Kai knew what Li Rong was referring to. He was, after all, a young man. The need to relieve himself was normal, and now that more than a year had passed since he had come here, Li Rong was obviously taking into consideration his needs with respect to women as well, although her having other motives as well could not be ruled out.
If Yang Kai became involved with one of the girls from her clan and developed feelings for her, tying him to the Ancient Demon Clan would become much simpler.
βAs you wish,β Li Rong gently nodded, a meaningful light flashing across the depths of her eyes as she turned to Guanβer and seriously told her, βJust like before, you will be responsible for his care, be sure to meet any request he has.β
βAny request? What about if heβ¦?β Guanβer asked in confusion.
βEven that; his words are your orders from now on!β Li Rong firmly declared.
Guanβer was dumbfounded. When she had first been sent to take care of Yang Kai, Li Rong had told her that as long as it wasnβt excessive, she was to do her best to fulfil this human boyβs requests, but now, in front of his face, she had been told to fully satisfy any request he made!
Senior Liβs attitude towards this human boy had really changed dramatically.
As Guanβer stood there absentmindedly, Li Rong and the other Great Commanders left, and by the time she had come to her senses, only she and Yang Kai remained inside the stone room.
Snorting lightly, she waved her fists threateningly towards Yang Kai like a young female tiger, ready to pounce, as she ground her teeth and accused, βYou bastard, what did you say to my Mistress? Why is she so attentive to you now?β
βI didnβt say anything really, we just talked casually.β
βYour Human Race really is sinister and deceitful!β Guanβer glared back at him, obviously not believing a word he said, snorting as she continued, βMistress said I am I am to meet any of your requests, you wonβt ask anything shameless of me will you?β
βI wonβt.β
βYou really wonβt? I donβt believe you, you have to swear to me.β
Yang Kai let out a long sigh, feeling a slight headache coming on from listening to this girlβs incessant chatter. Thinking about it for only a brief moment, he took out a big piece of Crystal Stone and tossed it to Guanβer, βPlay with that for a while and stop bothering me!β
Guanβer put on a disdainful look and shot back, βYou want to buy me off with a single Crystal Stone? Arenβt you looking down on me a bit too much?β
Yang Kai quickly took out another piece and handed it over.
Nodding righteously, Guanβer took it turned around to leave, a big joyful grin on her face.
The stone room had finally become quiet again.
Reflecting back on the conversation he just had with the three Great Commanders inside his Knowledge Sea, Yang Kai still couldnβt quite believe it had happened.
Although he had been studying Alchemy for the past year, he had never stopped thinking about his future plans; after all, it was impossible for him to accept being imprisoned here by the Ancient Demon Clan forever.
Now, unexpectedly, due to a series of accidents and coincidences, he had somehow managed to seize the initiative.
Now, assuming all of this was real, he didnβt have to worry about whether he would be imprisoned here. Whether Li Rongβs words were credible, Yang Kai couldnβt be certain, but he felt that this beautiful mature woman wasnβt deceiving him, because lowering her status and showing such goodwill towards him really didnβt have any advantage to her.
Yang Kai subconsciously trusted her somewhat.
However, as a result of their conversation, many things that had puzzled Yang Kai for many years had finally become clear!
At the very least, he understood that the original owner of his Wordless Black Book was the Great Demon supreme-ruler!
