Hearing Yang Kaiβs question, everyone nodded, Yu Ying adding, βAlthough that old guy was somewhat hateful, the little girl who was accompanying him was another story entirely.Β Although we couldnβt see her true appearance, I donβt think she was any less beautiful than our Saintesses, andβ¦ her cultivation was also incredible, no worse than yours. Before meeting you, she was the greatest genius of the younger generation Iβd ever seen.β
βThat was two or three years ago, her current cultivation is probably higher than mine!β Yang Kai declared, his mood suddenly become somewhat complicated.
Meng Wu Ya and Xia Ning Chang!
There were not many people who the Holy Master of Nine Heavens Holy Land would treat with courtesy, but Meng Wu Ya was one of them. Coupled with the fact he was followed by a little girl similar to Xia Ning Chang⦠The people Xu Hui and the other Elders were talking about could only be them.
They had actually come to Nine Heavens Holy Land, a fact that surprised Yang Kai greatly.
βDoes little brother know them?βΒ Xu Hui and the others glanced around at each other after noticing Yang Kaiβs unusual state, the meaningful smile on his face that was somewhat absentminded, as if he was lost in his memories, making them realize that this new Holy Master might be old friends with that pair.
βHow should I put thisβ¦? Iβm acquainted with them,β Yang Kai smiled.
Xu Huiβs mood brightened and was just about to ask but Yang Kai cut him off before he had the chance, βUnfortunately I havenβt seen them for a number of years and I donβt know where they are right now.β
βAhβ¦β Xu Hui showed a disappointing look, but quickly recovered, βSince we canβt find someone to help us, we can only rely on our own strength now.Β Fortunately, little brother has retrieved the Holy Master Spirit Ring so if those people dare to attack, they will certainly pay a heavy price!β
βGood!βΒ The crowd nodded, continuing their discussion.
Yang Kai found an opportunity and sneak away.
Following his memories from earlier that day, he soon came to a certain spot on one of the nine peaks.
This mountain was not much different from the other eight, standing tens of thousands of meters high, towering up into the sky, a magnificent scene to behold.
However, halfway up the mountain, a frigid aura appeared.Β The higher one climbed, the more intense this aura became and close to the summit, countless icicles hung from the rocky ridges, like sharp spears.
During the day, when Yang Kai was reactivating the Nine Peaks Spirit Array, he had found this place somewhat odd, but had not given it much thought at the time.
Now he wanted to see just what his Little Senior Sister had set up and left behind here.
Flying upwards, it only took a moment to reach the summit where the chill in the air was so strong it seemed to penetrate into the depths of the soul and freeze oneβs thoughts.
Yang Kai began probing the area but soon paled slightly.Β He found that even with his Conflagrated Knowledge Sea, he had to exert his full strength in order to stop his Soul from being affected by the chill in the air.
As for his body, even circulating his True Qi at full speed Yang Kai couldnβt completely dispel the cold which penetrated his skin.
[How strange!]
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, but with great confidence in his ability still boldly went forward.
After a while, a clear and deep pond suddenly appeared before Yang Kaiβs eyes, the chill seemingly emanating from its depths.Β Around its perimeter was small depression, which seemed to have been left by people. [It seemed that not everyone from the Nine Heavens Holy Land has completely avoided coming here.]
Around the deep pond, there were some subtle energy fluctuations, arranged in a mysterious and profound manner.
Yang Kai released his Divine Sense to probe these fluctuations and soon a smile of delight appeared on his face.
This was definitely his Little Senior Sisterβs handiwork.Β Yang Kai could tell because the Spirit Arrays which were giving off the energy fluctuations contained many traces of the Spirit Arrays he had taught Xia Ning Chang.
Why had she done this though?Β From what Yang Kai heard from Xu Hui, Xian Ning Chang and Treasurer Meng did not take anything away from this place, probably because the time was not right, which also indicated that theyβd likely return at some point.
What secrets were hidden in the depths of this frigid pond?Β Was it related to breaking the seal placed on Meng Wu Ya?
Yang Kai secretly guessed but couldnβt say for certain.
Chu Ling Xiao said that Meng Wu Ya had fought with the Demon Commander and was hit by the latterβs Profound Heavenly Seal, suppressing his cultivation to the Peak Immortal Ascension Boundary.Β This led to Treasurer Meng to seek refuge in Yang Kaiβs homeland. Searching for someone with a Sacred Spirit Medicine Body might also have been a reason Meng Wu Ya traveled to the other world.
Beneath the Central Capital, Meng Wu Ya managed to lift the first layer of the seal and restore his strength to the Second Order Transcendent Realm.Β After not seeing him for so many years though, Yang Kai couldnβt be sure what his current situation was.
Yang Kai had always been very curious about Treasurer Mengβs true cultivation.
That old man knew Chu Ling Xiao and was friends with Ice Sectβs Sect Master, Qing Ya, he even knew the old Holy Master of Nine Heavens Holy Landβ¦
Which one of these three was not a top level master?Β Being able to associate with such people must mean Treasurer Mengβs true strength couldnβt be much worse than theirs.
On top of that, everywhere he went, he seemed to leave behind a profound impression on others.
βWhy did you come to see the Reflecting Moon Pond?βΒ A voice suddenly called out from behind. Yang Kai was in deep thought and hadnβt even detected this newcomerβs approach, so when he heard these words he immediately condensed his True Qi, but in the next instant he calmed down and turned to look at An Lingβer and said, βI just wanted to take a look around.Β This place is called Reflecting Moon Pond?β
βEn,β An Lingβer smiled as she looked up into the sky, βThereβs no moon tonight, if there were, the view would have been even more beautiful.Β What kind of secret the Reflecting Moon Pond holds, no one knows, but it can show a near perfect reflection of the moon and stars above, indistinguishable from the real thing.Β I used to come here to play with Xiao Lian frequentlyβ¦β
Seeming remembering about her three sisters who were killed by Saintess Nan, An Lingβerβs mood suddenly dampened.
βIs it really so mysterious?βΒ Yang Kai quickly changed the subject to avoid An Lingβer dwelling on her sadness, βEven though itβs inside your territory, your Nine Heavens Holy Land doesnβt know whatβs hidden here?β
An Lingβer shook her head slowly, βGreat Elder and the other Elders donβt dare explore its depths.Β No one knows how deep this Reflecting Moon Pond is. The old Holy Master once went down to try to uncover its mysteries but returned empty handed; after he came out, he forbade anyone else from entering though, so what is hidden inside, no one knows.Β Moreover, originally, this peak didnβt have this pervasive chill, only when one dove into the Reflecting Moon Pond would they feel cold. I donβt know how it became like this but it should be related to the Spirit Array that little girl arranged here.β
After she finished explaining, An Lingβer apparently couldnβt take it anymore, shivering as she hastily said, βLetβs go back, itβs too cold here.β
Yang Kai nodded, not insisting on staying any longer, and flew down with her.
Yang Kai spent the rest of the night in contemplation and reflection, eventually coming to a decision about his next course of action.
The next day, he went to find Xu Hui and directly said, βGreat Elder, I want to meet that Monster Race Great Senior!β
Upon hearing this, Xu Hui couldnβt help doing a double-take, hurriedly asking, βWhy does little brother want to see him?Β Do you still want to ask him for help?β
Yang Kai smiled and shook his head, βHe might have had a relationship with the old Holy Master but no friendship exists between him and I, even if I ask him for help, the answer will obviously be no.β
βThen why do youβ¦β Xu Hui somewhat couldnβt understand.
Yang Kaiβs expression suddenly became solemn and he hesitated for a moment before asking, βGreat Elder, have you ever thought about abandoning the Holy Landβs territory?β
βYou mean escaping?β Xu Hui frowned.
βYes, escaping, of course, only temporarily,β Yang Kai nodded firmly, βAs the saying goes, by staying in the azure mountains, one need not fear having wood to burn.Β Now, surrounded by foreign enemies, the Holy Land has no way to resist. If the situation really breaks down and turns into a fight, Iβm afraid Nine Heavens Holy Land will really be destroyed in your generation.Β When things reach that point, how many of you will be able to escape? Perhaps you Elders and Protectors with your profound strength and deep cultivation will be able to flee, but what about the remaining disciples?β
Xu Hui expression became gloomy as he sighed deeply, βthis is something we all understand, but the Holy Landβs disciples number between six and seven thousand, where could we possible go with so many people?Β Shattering Mystical Palace, War Spirit Temple, and Netherworld Sect have all chosen to thoroughly offend my Holy Land; naturally they wonβt give up easily now. They also understand the concept of beating a snake to death to avoid future calamities.Β Iβm afraid that if we try to stage a mass evacuation, they will immediately chase after and attack us. Since thatβs the case, we might as well stay and fight where we have the territorial advantage.β
βSo, you have considered it?β Yang Kaiβs eyes flashed.
Xu Hui nodded somewhat awkwardly, βAlthough doing so is a great humiliation to our ancestors, right now whatβs most important is to preserve the blood of the Holy Land.Β When we have accumulated enough strength, we can stage a comeback and make those who desecrated the Holy Land pay a steep price!β
As he spoke these words, Xu Huiβs face filled with determination and anger.
βGood good, since youβve already thought about it, I donβt need to worry about convincing you,β Yang Kai laughed sinisterly, continuing a moment later, βI have a place to safely house all the Holy Landβs people.Β As long as we move there, no one will have any way of harming you.β
βOh?β Xu Huiβs eyes lit up, asking somewhat curiously, βLittle brother is referring toβ¦β
βItβs not convenient to tell you now; just wait, when the time comes Iβll inform you.Β Of course, the premise is that you believe me!β Yang Kai said vaguely.
βI believe, naturally I believe!βΒ Xu Hui nodded repeatedly, soon becoming confused though, βWhat does any of this have to do with you going to see that Monster Race Great Senior?β
βThese two matters really have nothing to do with each other, at least not directly, but if you really agree to give up the Holy Landβs territory for a while, I think seeing that Monster Race Great Senior is a necessary,β Yang Kai grinned fiercely, βThe Holy Landβs foundation canβt simply be handed over to those three forces freely; in that caseβ¦ if that Monster Race Great Senior learned that Holy Land was now empty, what do you think he would do?β
Xu Hui knit his brow slightly and quickly muttered, βThe World Energy aura inside the Monster Raceβs territory isnβt nearly as rich as my Holy Landβs.Β They have also coveted this place for a long time. If they were to learn that the Holy Land had been deserted, Iβm afraid they would immediately invade and occupy the nine peaksβ¦β
As he spoke, Xu Hui suddenly understood what Yang Kai wanted to do, a look of shock filling his eyes as his face twitched slightly.Β He had never expected that this new, young Holy Master actually had such a sinister and devious side.
Yang Kai smiled villainously as he spoke in a frightful tone, βMy mother taught me, those who respect me one step, I should respect ten steps, but those who wrong me, I should beat three times over!β
Xu Hui couldnβt help feeling a chill run up his spine, as if he had just been thrown out into a frigid blizzard, only able to mutter somewhat haltingly after a long time, βYour mother is a true heroβ¦β
βGood, I know that you canβt take responsibility for such a decision alone, go discuss it with the other Elders now, if they all agree, let me know.β
Xu Huiβs eyes flashed as he cupped his fists and said, βAlthough I canβt take responsibility for such a decision by myself, if little brother were to promise to inheritβ¦β
βScram!β Yang Kai didnβt wait for Xu Hui to finish before bluntly cutting him off.
The corner of Xu Huiβs lips twitched for a moment before he let out a sigh and flew off.
