After Yang Kai stared at this figure for a while longer, he suddenly sucked in a cold breath and cried out, “I know who this man is!”
“Who?”
“This must be the Demon Lord who was beheaded by my Sect’s Ancestral Founder several hundreds of years ago!”
Old Demon was not entirely clear about the history of High Heaven Pavilion so Yang Kai brief recanted it for him.
Hearing that the Coiling Dragon Stream was formed when this Demon Lord was struck down by a single Earth shattering sword strike, Old Demon was suddenly greatly excited and said in a slightly agitated tone, “Even after hundreds of years, this Demon Lord’s flesh has not decayed! When he was alive, his strength must have been similar to this old master’s at his peak.”
Yang Kai was secretly unnerved.
This man had been dead for hundreds of years, and although his body has almost completely dried out, his physique was yet to be destroyed and had even given rise to such an extensive and potent Demonic Qi, enough to fill the entire Coiling Dragon Stream and beyond. Just how powerful was he when he was alive?
How powerful was his High Heaven Pavilion’s Ancestral Founder to have triumphed over him?
This level of strength was something Yang Kai couldn’t hope to match, at least not within a short period of time.
Carefully scanning his surroundings again, Yang Kai found a deeply worn impression, and after squatting down to examine it, he couldn’t help but grin slightly.
This place should be where his Sect Master’s Second Disciple had sat in cultivation for the past ten years. By perennially meditating here he must have left these traces behind.
In other words, his Sect Master’s Second Disciple should have grasped some profound insight or obtained some kind of powerful inheritance from this dead Demon Lord that enabled him to restore his strength and then a decade later escape his imprisonment.
The Sect Master banishing him to the Coiling Dragon Stream had simultaneously created this opportunity for him.
All things were truly impermanent; no one clearly could say what was truly a blessing or a curse.
“Young Master …” Old Demon suddenly shouted. His voice contained a trace of excitement and anticipation, “Can you remove and collect the chain artifact from this Demon Lord’s neck?”
“Of course!” Yang Kai had long seen just how extraordinary this collar was. It emitted an aura akin to the blazing sun, and there was no doubt it was a Yang attribute artifact designed specifically to restrain Demonic Qi. Yang Kai’s cultivation of the True Yang Secret Art had an innate fit with this artifact, so how could he simply let it go?
This artifact should be something High Heaven Pavilion’s Ancestral Founder had left behind to suppress this Demon Lord’s Demonic Qi, but after so many centuries the Sect Master’s Second Disciple must have done something to it to cause it to lose its abilities, so letting it remain here would serve no purpose.
“But even if I don’t accept it, what does that have to do with you?” Yang Kai asked suspiciously, wondering what Old Demon was up to.
“Heh heh…” Old Demon cackled happily, “If Young Master can remove this artifact, this Old Servant can try to possess this Demon Lord’s body.”
“You want to rob his body?” Yang Kai expression slightly changed.
“No no no…” Old Demon quickly denied, “This man’s Soul has long since been destroyed, leaving behind only a physique body, my Soul taking possession of it can’t be considered robbing.”
“How certain are you that you can succeed?”
“En, well somewhat. When he was alive he was also a Demon Lord, so his aura is similar to Old Servant’s, which should make it easier for Old Servant to operate his body.” Old Demon grinned, “However, whether it is supplanting someone’s consciousness or taking over someone else’s body, it is not as simple as Young Master believes. Each person’s body is like a container which has certain traits that, in principle, can only accommodate a particular Soul, so it is difficult for a different Soul to survive in such a container.”
“So why was it that time you first saw me you immediately tried to seize my body?” Yang Kai’s mouth curved into a strange smile as he remembered this event.
Old Demon simply laughed though, “That was out of necessity; I had been sealed there for many years. I had just woken up and not long after had met Young Master, but even if you had not resisted, there was a good chance I would have failed anyways.”
“What would the consequences have been?”
“If your Soul had been devoured by me, and I had gained control of your body, at best, Old Servant would have been able to survive half a month to a month before Young Master’s body would have rotted. At that time, Old Servant would have become a loose soul, wandering between the Heavens and the Earth.” Old Demon casually explained what would have happened if he had failed in his attempt to seize Yang Kai’s body, which sent a chill up his spine.
Thankfully, his Unyielding Golden Skeleton had played a role, or else he really would have died in vain.
“Even regardless of whether the possession was successful or not, Old Servant’s own Spiritual Energy would have been greatly consumed, so even those with strong Souls will not arbitrarily try to take over another’s body. Only when they find themselves in a desperate situation will they attempt it.” Old Demon explained patiently.
“Does this person’s body meet your requirements?”
“En! Old Servant should be able to take control of the person’s body, and once successful, Old Servant will be much stronger and more capable of helping Young Master than right now.” Old Demon said, secretly ashamed of himself; after spending two years together with Yang Kai, this thousand year old demon hadn’t actually played much of a role. Now seeing this tailor made body in front of him, naturally he was quite tempted.
“Good, I’m looking forward to it!” Yang Kai grinned and agreed to Old Demon’s request.
Walking up to this Demon Lord’s body, Yang Kai reached out and grabbed the collar and chain and poured his True Qi into it.
After less than half a day, the chain suddenly transformed into a golden light which disappeared into Yang Kai’s body.
Witnessing all this, Yang Kai was slightly stunned.
Originally he had thought it would be very time consuming to refine such a powerful artifact, and he was even ready to stay here for a month or two, but little did he suspect that the process would be so easy.
Once the chain had disappeared, it was like the black gas billowing around the Demon Lord’s body had suddenly been set free, and it ferociously burst forth, continuously shooting up the canyon. Not only that, the Demon Lord’s body also continued to pour out more Demonic Qi, seemingly in an endless stream, which created a truly terrifying scene.
The stunned Yang Kai quickly put on a serious expression and summoned out the Soul Breaker Awl.
Old Demon’s Soul quickly poured into this artifact, then drilled into the Demon Lord’s body, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The rolling evil aura all of a sudden calmed greatly, probably the result of Old Demon assuming control of this new body.
Yang Kai called out a few times but did not receive a response; however, from the way Demonic Qi overflowing from this Demon Lord’s body had just behaved, Old Demon should have already begun the process of assimilating it. It was just a question of how long this would take.
This was Old Demon’s battle to fight; there was nothing Yang Kai could do to help.
With no other choice, he could only sit down cross-legged and wait patiently.
With the evil aura so thick in this place, Yang Kai couldn’t even cultivate his Soul Palace skill. As soon as his Divine Sense left the confines of his mind, it would immediately be shredded. If he couldn’t use his Divine Sense, naturally there was no way to capture the surrounding hostility to forge building blocks.
Bored, Yang Kai took out the chain artifact which he had just managed to refine.
This artefact’s quality was superb and was cast from some unknown material, but since it was something left behind by High Heaven Pavilion’s Ancestral Founder to suppress this Demon Lord, its grade was certainly not low.
The chain itself was only about half a meter long and the collar itself was just big enough to fit around a human’s neck.
Inspecting it closer, Yang Kai discovered a small line of characters on the inside of the collar and muttered softly, “Devil Sealing Chain!”
Against an average cultivator, this artifact was likely useless, so it was probably only able to serve as an anti-devil artifact.
Examining this Devil Sealing Chain for a while, Yang Kai couldn’t help being stunned.
The Sect Master’s Second Disciple had obviously obtained something from this Demon Lord’s corpse which had allowed him to restore his strength, so Yang Kai was certain he knew about the existence of this Devil Sealing Chain, but he had still not removed or taken away this artifact. It was easy to imagine just how much this Devil Sealing Chain was able to restrain him.
If he could find an opportunity to slip this collar back onto his neck… whether he was a Devil King or a Demon Lord, it was almost certain his True Qi would be completely sealed.
This was an excellent tool to deal with him!
Thinking about this Martial Uncle of his who had become the new Demon Lord, Yang Kai made his decision.
This man had obstructed Ling Tai Xu martial path for ten years, and Yang Siye had been injured so severely by him that until now he had still not completely recovered.
It could even be said that Yang Kai being born with a congenital defect was also his fault.
Therefore, even if the two had never met before, there was no doubt he was an enemy.
Yang Kai would never allow his enemies to live good lives.
Wearing a cold expression, Yang Kai stowed the Devil Sealing Chain into his body again and would use his own True Qi to refine and repair it, so that one day it could display its full power again.
For several days, Old Demon had silently inhabited the Demon Lord’s body and did not respond no matter how Yang Kai called out.
Until the fifth day, when Old Demon’s weak voice suddenly sounded, “Young Master…”
“How is it?” Yang Kai hurriedly asked.
“I’m almost there.” Old Demon panted, his Spiritual Energy was obviously significantly depleted, but fortunately the entire region was filled with Demonic Qi, so he could always supplement himself, “However, Old Servant first needs to absorb all the Demonic Qi from this area or else this body will not be able to display any significant power.”
“How long will that take?”
“The process will be quite slow, at least a few months.”
“That’s too long… I can’t afford to wait for you here…” Yang Kai said as he stood up.
“Good, Young Master should attend to your own tasks and when Old Servant finishes here, he will find you once more.”
Before the conversation had even finished, Old Demon had already begun to devour the Demonic Qi floating within the Coiling Dragon Stream and somehow attracted it from his surroundings and pulled it straight into the Demon Lord’s body.
The Demon Lord’s body however was like a bottomless pit, and no matter how much Demonic Qi swept towards him, it effortlessly received it all.
After watching for a moment, Yang Kai nodded slightly before spreading his Flaming Yang Wings and soared up out of the Coiling Dragon Stream.
High Heaven Pavilion was in a depression.
The originally several thousand disciples had long ago dwindled. Many of them chose to leave out of fear of being implicated when the world learned that the new Demon Lord had come from the Coiling Dragon Stream, and still others obeyed Ling Tai Xu’s command to immediately disperse.
Throughout the whole High Heaven Pavilion, there was now only a hundred or so people left. These hundred people were High Heaven Pavilion’s most important core members and the Sect’s most loyal disciples.
No matter how Ling Tai Xu tried to persuade them, these people refused to abandon the Sect and vowed that they would live and die together with High Heaven Pavilion!
In the face of such determination, Ling Tai Xu was helpless and could only acquiesce.
Su Yan was, of course, one of these members, and over the course of the last two months had successfully promoted to the True Element Boundary Ninth Stage and began to prepare for her breakthrough to the Immortal Ascension Boundary.
Sitting face-to-face while engaged in their dual-cultivation, Yang Kai listened to Su Yan explain about the changes which had occurred over the past two months.
A bitter feeling crept into his heart.
This once proud Sect was now facing a crisis and was on the verge of dissolving. A result that many here could simply not accept, but even Ling Tai Xu was helpless to do anything to stop it. News that the Demon Lord had hailed from High Heaven Pavilion would sooner or later be discovered, and since he did not wish for those ordinary disciples to be unjustly involved, he could only first order them to disperse.
With such dramatic changes within High Heaven Pavilion, it was naturally impossible to conceal it from the nearby Blood Battle Gang and Storm Hall’s eyes and ears.
Over the past days, the Hu Sisters had visited High Heaven Pavilion many times to see Su Yan and offer words of condolences, but also to inquire about Yang Kai.
However, others within the Blood Battle Gang were not as sympathetic. During the Inheritance Heaven’s Cave incident, Meng Wu Ya had fought the Blood Battle Gang’s ten strongest Immortal Ascension Boundary masters single handedly, which caused the Blood Battle Gang to lose a great deal of face. Additionally, many involved in that conflict, especially Long Zai Tian, had been seriously injured, and even until now were not able to completely recover, so now that it was High Heaven Pavilion’s turn, Long Zai Tian and several other Elders took the opportunity to add as much insult to injury as possible.
As this was happening, Sect Master Hu Man also took a policy of opening one eye and closing the other, letting Long Zai Tian act as he pleased.
The Storm Hall was also the same and actively recruited the displaced High Heaven Pavilion disciples while not so subtly coveting High Heaven Pavilion’s hundreds of years worth of heritage.
Of course, no one was more aware of the dire straits they were in than those within High Heaven Pavilion.
“Once the Sect’s dissolution is complete, where will we go?” Su Yan faintly sighed. She had grown up inside High Heaven Pavilion for so many years, and it had been her home, but now that this tragedy had suddenly struck. Even if she had a firm and steady temperament, she couldn’t help feeling somewhat sad and confused.
Hearing her words, Yang Kai smiled gently, squeezed her hands slightly as he brought her into his embrace. Then he intertwined their fingers and brought her face close to his own, and the depressed mood gradually became calm.
“If it comes to that, we can go to Medicine King’s Valley Hidden Cloud Peak and join up with Treasurer Meng and Little Senior Sister.” Yang Kai whispered.
Given Xiao Fu Sheng’s immense prestige, protecting a small group of people would be no problem.
Although he was a direct descendant of the Yang Family, he was forbidden to return right now, so naturally he couldn’t bring Su Yan there.
Su Yan nodded slightly and suddenly smiled sweetly as she said, “It has been a long time since I spoke with Junior Sister Xia. Are you two now…”
“Not yet,” Yang Kai said with an awkward laugh.
“You have to do your best, Junior Sister Xia is has a pure innocent and naive demeanor, on top of that she is incredibly cute, don’t let her fall into the hands of some other man.” Su Yan smiled meaningfully.
To which Yang Kai could only nod awkwardly.
At that time.
Suddenly, feeling a Divine Sense swept over them, Yang Kai’s expression slightly changed, and he gazed seriously in the direction the probe had come from, “A master cultivator has arrived!”
Su Yan quickly sat up, and a worried expression flashed across her cold and beautiful face flashed, and she quietly asked, “Where are they?”
“Ah… no need to be nervous, it’s an acquaintance.” Yang Kai frowned slightly in confusion.
He could clearly sense the arrival of this Immortal Ascension Boundary master. It was not that he had received some kind of information from the previous Divine Sense wave, but the other party had so blatantly used his Divine Sense that all of the High Heaven Pavilion Immortal Ascension Boundary masters should have felt it.
Mover, this person’s Divine Sense fluctuations were very familiar. At the very least, Yang Kai should have met him face to face before, it was just that he could not tell exactly whose Divine Sense it was.
“We should go take a look!” Yang Kai hesitated for a moment before saying when he detected many guards rushing over along with Ling Tai Xu and the remaining Elders, so he had Su Yan quickly left her house and flew over to join the others.
Before they had closed the distance, Yang Kai heard Ling Tai Xu call out, “Which friend has come to visit my High Hall Pavilion?”
From the distance, a somewhat old and plain voice responded, “Sect Master Ling!”
Hearing this voice, Yang Kai frowned even more and accelerated a bit before soon arriving at Ling Tai Xu and the four Elder’s side, and he took up a position behind Ling Tai Xu.
Seeing Yang Kai and Su Yan arrive side by side, a few of the Elder’s faces suddenly cramped up, especially Su Xuan Wu. Although he had already known that his granddaughter and Yang Kai certainly had something more than just a fellow disciple relationship between them, seeing it with his eyes, especially the lingering blush still present on Su Yan’s cold face, the Second Elder couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
At that moment the Second Elder couldn’t help glaring at Yang Kai, as he seethed in anger!
Yang Kai just laughed and said nothing.
From the distance, a silhouette quickly approached and came to a stop in front of everyone.
After seeing this man’s appearance, Ling Tai Xu asked curiously, “Aren’t you the Dong Family’s… Wind Guardian?”
Chuckling lightly, the old man cupped his fists and said, “This old man is indeed who you say. I have taken the liberty to visit you, I hope you can forgive me for not sending prior notice.”
Yang Kai’s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly asked, “Senior, what exactly has happened?”
The Dong Family’s two Wind and Cloud Guards had always been accompanying Dong Qing Han in order to protect him, but now, all of sudden, at this critical time, the Wind Guard had made a trip to High Heaven Pavilion; apparently Dong Qing Han had a very important message to deliver to him.
Otherwise he would not have sent such an important figure to convey it.
The Wind Guard glanced over and nodded slightly before saying, “Young Master Yang, my Young Lord ordered me to inform you to leave High Heaven Pavilion as quickly as possible or you will encounter great danger.”
“Because of the Demon Lord?” Yang Kai frowned, as he realized the problem.
The Wind Guard was slightly surprised but quickly collected himself, “It seems you are already prepared.”
He now understood why, when he had swept High Heaven Pavilion with his Divine Sense, he had not noticed many people around, which was quite different from when he had last visited.
Ling Tai Xu nodded, “Naturally, we have prepared.”
The Wind Guard hastily followed up, “Then why are you all still here? You must leave quickly, the force on their way now is not one High Heaven Pavilion can resist.”
“Who is coming?” Su Xuan Wu hearing how seriously this old man was speaking couldn’t help but frown.
“It is… the Qiu Family!” The Wind Guard exclaimed.
“One of the Eight Great Families?” Wei Xi Tong and all the others were stunned.
“Correct, the Qiu Family is leading them. The Bai Family is also coming, along with members of the Purple Fern Valley. Against the combined might of these three forces, even my Dong Family will not be able to resist.” The Wind Guard sincerely entreated, “You should not try to act brave here, find somewhere to hide in the wilderness. So long as you preserve your life, there is still hope.”
The Demon Lord having come from High Heaven Pavilion was such a big deal that the Eight Great Families getting involved was something Yang Kai could understand, after all, in the war to come all of them would be involved, but the Bai Family and the Purple Fern Valley tagging along was unexpected.
Them joining this punitive force was likely because of Yang Kai defeating Bai Yun Feng last time, which caused him to lose face, so they had come specially to add insult to injury.
“They will be here soon; this Old Master had to hurry all the way here in order to arrive first, but I estimate that they will catch up within half a day.” The Wind Guard hurriedly explained before once more urging, “I have delivered the message, so I shall take my leave!”
Obviously he could not remain here. If the Qiu Family people discovered him, explaining his presence would be very troublesome.
As soon as the Wind Guard finished speaking he quickly turned and left, leaving behind a group of shocked people.
Wei Xi Tong hesitated, “Why did he come here to deliver such a warning, is he perhaps trying to deceive us?”
However, Ling Tai Xu shook his head lightly, “No, Yang Kai and his Young Master have some friendship; this warning was sent purely out of good intentions, there is no reason to doubt it.”
Hearing this, the four Elders looked towards Yang Kai in surprise, not understanding how he had become friends with someone of Dong Qing Han’s stature.
“Spread the word, all remaining High Heaven Pavilion members are to quickly pack their belongings and gather beside the Coiling Dragon Stream within an incense stick!” Ling Tai Xu ordered decisively.
Finished, he quickly redirected his sight, “Yang Kai, you stay.”
“Yes, Sect Master!”
The Four Elders having received their orders hurriedly left, leaving only Yang Kai and Ling Tai Xu behind.
“Do you remember the position of the Void Corridor we used last time?” Ling Tai Xu suddenly asked.
“Disciple remembers.”
“Good, proceed to that place and begin injecting your True Qi into it, the Spirit Array at that position will automatically activate once it has been charged. Once the Void Corridor is open, lead everyone away from here so that our pursuers cannot catch up. After leaving, destroyed the Spirit Array then find a place to settle down; remember, before the situation becomes clear, do not come out of hiding…”
“Grand Master are you not coming as well?” Yang Kai vaguely understood from the tone of his voice and couldn’t help looking surprised.
“My High Heaven Pavilion has not done anything wrong; it was just that this old master had not been decisive enough, so why must all of you suffer for that?” Ling Tai Xu chuckled lightly, “If this Old Master comes along with all of you, he will only make things more difficult for the survivors of High Heaven Pavilion. I will stay behind to confront the punitive force and explain everything to them, that it was my fault and mine alone that this new Demon Lord came into existence, and then ask them if it is necessary to destroy my Sect because of that. Their forces had all given rise to evil people, did they all have to suffer punishment because of that?”
“They have come all this way with such aggressive intent, will they really be willing to listen to reason?” Yang Kai asked anxiously.
“It matters not, I have made my decision!” Ling Tai Xu’s will was firm, suddenly showing a confident smile, “In any case, even if it turns into a fight, whether or not they are worthy to be my opponent… heh!”
Yang Kai was startled, staring for a moment, “Grand Master, you…”
“Indeed, it is all thanks to your assistance!” Ling Tai Xu nodded firmly.
Above Immortal Ascension Boundary! After spending ten long years shackled by his past, he had finally had a breakthrough; it was the only joyous event in the past few months for High Heaven Pavilion.
Knowing that his Grand Master had reached the Above Immortal Ascension Boundary, the worries within Yang Kai’s heart diminished greatly, and he no longer attempted to persuade him otherwise and instead quickly set off.
All those who had remained in High Heaven Pavilion had quickly assembled beside the Coiling Dragon Stream.
Yang Kai once again saw many familiar faces, including Su Mu whom he had not spoken with in over a year. What was more surprising was that Su Mu has also managed to raise his cultivation to the Separation and Reunion Boundary Ninth Stage.
“Senior Brother Yang…” Su Mu shouted out in excitement, followed closely behind by Li Yun Tian and the others.
“Long time no see!” Yang Kai smiled as he swept his eyes over the crowd. In addition to Su Mu, the others gathered here had also grown a lot. All of them had reached at least the Qi Transformation Stage.
“Heh heh… should I call you Senior Brother, or brother-in-law?” Su Mu looked at Yang Kai with a big grin on his face, apparently he already knew what had happened between Yang Kai and Su Yan.
“Up to you!” Yang Kai brushed his nose.
“Brother-in-law, you are too awesome!” Su Mu looked at Yang Kai and gave him a big thumbs up and quietly whispered “I’ve always thought that Elder Sister would end up all alone, I never expected that she would be conquered by you, astonishing! Quickly, tell me how you did it.”
However, just as those words slipped out, Su Yan glared towards them with an especially cold look, causing Su Mu’s neck to shrink up and his body to quiver, immediately silencing him.
“Is this everyone?” Wei Xi Tong, Su Xuan Wu and the other Elders glanced back and forth, loudly asking.
“Where is Sect Master?” He Bei Shui suddenly asked.
“Sect Master has decided to stay behind!” Yang Kai declared.
“What?” Wei Xi Tong and everyone else were stunned.
The four Elders all looked at each other, their eyes flashing a resolute light.
Wei Xi Tong quickly said, “Heh heh, if Sect Master has decided not to leave, then I will as well, Second Junior Brother, you escort everyone else out of here right now.”
But in response Su Xuan Wu just proudly laughed, “First Senior Brother must be joking, I also wish to follow Sect Master; Third Junior Brother, you should be the one to escort everyone here out!”
He Bei Shui also laughed and turned towards You Zi Zai, “Fifth Junior Brother, you’re the youngest of us, this responsibility falls to you.”
You Zi Zai glanced around, but since there was no Elder younger than he, all he could do was scratch his cheek and say, “I also will not leave.”
This group of old men glanced around at each other before bursting into laughter.
Su Xuan Wu quickly declared, “Then we shall all remain together! Yang Kai, come here!”
“Yes Elder Su!”
“Sect Master said you know the path out of here, so you and Su Yan lead everyone away, be sure to protect our High Heaven Pavilion’s inheritance!”
“Yes!”
“Good, now go!” Wei Xi Tong waved and then unhesitantly flew back towards High Heaven Pavilion, and the other three Elders quickly caught up.
“We must also go!” Yang Kai was not long-winded. Ling Tai Xu had broken through to the Above Immortal Ascension Boundary, and the four Elders also had good strength. Together they would be enough to resist any force which may come.
Not to mention, there was no guarantee that a fight would break out.
However, the people here must leave! These people were High Heaven Pavilion’s hope for the future. If they remained, it would only give Ling Tai Xu another thing to worry about.
More than a hundred people quickly followed behind Yang Kai towards a specific place above the Coiling Dragon Stream.
They soon arrived and passed through the Demonic Qi rising up from the abyss below, it was only a few thousand meters down to where the Spirit Array was.
Everyone’s face was pale and frightened, especially the younger generation disciples, they looked particularly miserable.
For these juniors who had not yet reached the True Element Boundary, standing beside the Coiling Dragon Stream was naturally unnerving.
“A few of you Martial Uncles with higher cultivation come down with me, Su Yan, you also come!” Yang Kai quickly shouted and jumped down into the canyon followed closely by seven or eight masters from the previous generations.
Searching for the location of the Spirit Array, Yang Kai carefully examined the cliff face.
“Martial Nephew, what are we doing here?” A thin bony Martial Uncle, a High Heaven Pavilion deacon with cultivation at the Immortal Ascension Boundary Third Stage, asked curiously.
“Looking for a Spirit Array…” Yang Kai replied quietly, and his eyes continued to search a moment before he later nodded, “It’s here!”
Everyone else turned their eyes towards where he was looking, but all they could see was bare rock, no different from everywhere else in the canyon.
“Please channel your True Qi into it!” Yang Kai said and placed a hand onto the cliff, while his True Qi surged ferociously forth.
His other hand grasped Su Yan’s.
Since the two of them had obtained the Joyous Unification Art inheritance, this was the first time they had acted together, and although this situation was not a battle, it was similar enough.
As their hands clasped, the pairs’ True Qi fluctuations suddenly intensified a grade and flowed significantly faster. This change also shocked the few Martial Uncles who had accompanied them.
However, none of them stopped to ask and instead followed Yang Kai’s example and poured their True Qi into the Spirit Array.
With nearly ten people working together, after a moment of effort, the huge rock face began to have a reaction.
This sudden change made everyone surprised.
Yang Kai, while continuing to channel his True Qi, quickly explained, “This place has a hidden Spirit Array which activates a Void corridor that allows one to instantaneously from here to a far away location, it is something that the Ancestral Founder had left behind for High Heaven Pavilion.
One of the seniors couldn’t resist asking, “How far away exactly?”
“Sect Master said this Void corridor leads to a place some ten thousand kilometers away, so once we enter it, we will be perfectly safe.”
Everyone present wore expressions of shock upon hearing this.
The existence of this Void corridor had far exceeded all of their knowledge and understanding by far.
“Our Sect has such a wondrous heritage?” That same Martial Uncle stuttered, and his eyes nearly popped out, “I never knew.”
“We… we also didn’t know!” The others in the crowd chimed in.
“Good, apart from Su Yan and me, everyone else has other tasks they must attend to. Two of your Martial Uncles must go ahead and check the situation on the other side, everyone else must go back up and bring down any disciples who have not yet reached the True Element Boundary!” Yang Kai swiftly ordered.
Although he was a member of the younger generation of disciples, but by virtue of him knowing all these secrets about the Sect, it was clear to everyone how much Ling Tai Xu valued him. Moreover, Yang Kai’s plans were meticulous and well thought out, so the seniors present did not have any issues with carrying them out.
Two Immortal Ascension Boundary masters, one at the First Stage and one at the Second, quickly entered the Void corridor.
Everyone else flew upwards.
Only Yang Kai and Su Yan remained behind to maintain the operation of the Spirit Array.
After a moment, Yang Kai smiled and suddenly said, “In fact, I’m a son of the Yang Family!
Su Yan’s beautiful eyes slightly flashed with surprise before asking, “You mean that cuckoo bird, Yang Family?”
Yang Kai simply nodded, “En.”
“Why are you telling me this now?” Su Yan looked at him curiously.
Yang Kai grinned, “Because I want to steal your heart, so to do that I must be honest with you!”
Listening to him say so in such a straightforward manner, Su Yan’s heart felt a burst of sweetness, and her cheeks blushed bright red as a shy expression filled her face.
The atmosphere suddenly turned tender; even if the two of them had already been together many times, but now the feelings between man and woman were truly begging to bud as they slowly became more familiar with each other, breaking down the barriers between one another one by one.
Yang Kai’s frankness and sincerity had given Su Yan a kind of happiness that could only be felt by one being pursued.
Which girl didn’t want to be sought for by the man she loved? Even Su Yan also had such desires.
Because they had obtained the Joyous Unification Art in the Heaven’s Inheritance Cave, Su Yan and Yang Kai, who were not familiar with each other at the time, were all of a sudden made inseparable, so even if she had obtained a kind of happiness from that, she had lost the opportunity to experience the joys of falling in love.
But now, Yang Kai was undoubtedly trying make that up to her while simultaneously trying to truly win Su Yan’s heart.
At this moment, Su Yan felt like even if they could not escape today’s tragedy, she would still be satisfied.
*Ehem…* Suddenly from above them an awkward cough sounded; Yang Kai looked up and saw one of his Martial Uncles carrying a High Heaven Pavilion disciple, dropping down next to the two, regardless of the disciple’s screams, he quickly threw him into the Void corridor.
“Don’t mind me… please do carry on…” This Martial Uncle was not blind; he could clearly see the delicate atmosphere between the two so he wasted no time flying back up.
But how could they simply continue? As soon he had left another arrived so all Yang Kai and Su Yan could do was smile wryly.
“I want to know everything about your past!” Su Yan declared as she blushed, not caring about if others were observing as she whispered into Yang Kai’s ear.
“Wait until we’ve safely left and settled down then I promise I’ll tell you.”
“Good!” Su Yan nodded gently before biting her lip, “I would also like to travel together with you…”
“Then, after everything is over, we’ll travel hand in hand, proudly touring the world!” Yang Kai grinned happily.
“En!” Su Yan smiled, her heart full of happiness, gently resting her head upon Yang Kai’s shoulder.
Inside the Coiling Dragon Stream, while Demonic Qi swirled about and the Sect above awaited an impending catastrophe, a young man and woman nestled close to each other, the wind gently rustling their clothes as they held one another.
This moment felt like should have lasted an eternity.
The High Heaven Pavilion disciples who occasional passed by awkwardly stared at the pair.
——
Ten Kilometers away from High Heaven Pavilion, a large group of people were fast approaching.
This group had no shortage of Immortal Ascension Boundary Ninth Stage masters, four of them in total, accompanied by no less than a dozen other Immortal Ascension Boundary masters.
In addition, the True Element Boundary and Separation and Reunion Boundary cultivators numbered another forty or fifty at least.
This group of people, under the leadership of a twenty some years old young woman, flew towards High Heaven Pavilion, and before long had arrived in front of the Sect’s borders.
“Is this the where the Demon Lord was born?” The incredibly beautiful young woman asked. She was tall and bright eyed, with pure white teeth and jade-like skin; she wore a luxurious purple dress but more than anything else, her noble temperament shined through.
With a light smile adorning her stunning face, a trace of disdain and doubt flashed across her eyes, lightly asking, “Isn’t this just a random Second-class Sect? How could it give rise to such a heaven defying figure like the new Demon Lord?”
Immediately, a young man dressed in white, his hand waving a folding fan, stepped forward, smiled and said, “Young Lady Qiu, although this place is indeed just a Second-class Sect, but inside there are many Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers along with powerful masters, it is not to be underestimated. The last time I and Brother Fan were here, we suffered a major loss!”
This white robed man was none other than the one Yang Kai had defeated last time, Bai Yun Feng.
After suffering a humiliating loss to Yang Kai, Bai Yun Feng had wanted to immediately seek revenge, but had been wary of Ling Tai Xu and Meng Wu Ya’s tyrannical strength, so he had not taken any action.
So when he heard that the Qiu Family would be sending a force to High Heaven Pavilion, he immediately volunteered to follow along, clearly looking for a chance to wipe clean the shame he had been dealt.
Although he was smiling warmly with Young Lady Qiu as he spoke, he still unconsciously remained three steps behind her, showing the utmost respectful demeanor with no trace of his usual big family eldest son’s arrogance, even the look in his eyes was extremely frank as they gazed upon this young woman’s slender shoulders without the slightest obscene light.
Despite his usual attitude, Bai Yun Feng was still a sensible person, he was the son of a first-class family, normally a shining star amongst his peers, but before the young lady in front of him, his status meant nothing.
In front of him was the Qiu Family’s eldest daughter, Young Lady Qiu Yi Meng.
How could his Bai Family possibly be compared with the Qiu Family?
Without even mentioned the Qiu Family’s strength and heritage, it was said that Qiu Yi Meng, only twenty-one years old this year, had already reached the True Element Boundary Ninth Stage; only a handful of people in this entire world’s younger generation had such phenomenal aptitude.
On top of that, she not only had extraordinary martial talent, she was also a stunning beauty.
With the Qiu Family having such an astounding young lady, amongst the other seven Great Families, with the exception of the Yang Family, which one of their young masters did not want to marry her?
But the Qiu Family’s Patriach, Qiu Shou Cheng, had already declared, “If you wish to marry Qiu Yi Meng, you can! But you must enter the Qiu Family! Also, any baby both from your union must be surnamed Qiu! Anyone who thinks this is wrong, walk away. I do not need you to be part of my lineage.”
This demand had immediately cut off a lot of people’s ambitions; but still, many young sons would linger all day around Qiu Yi Meng, enjoying being around such a beautiful young woman while fantasizing about being with her.
Qiu Yi Meng also maintained a sense of proportion, allowing these young masters to gather around her but never allowing any of them to get too close. In fact, the reason she had decided to lead this expedition to High Heaven Pavilion was because recently there had been too many of these annoying people around her, so she had deliberately taken on this task, with the excuse of it being a good life experience, and forced these young men to scatter.
Listening to what Bai Yun Feng said, Qiu Yi Meng laughed lightly, not even turning to look at him, stroking the hair next to her ear and replied, “I heard that the last time Young Master Bai came to High Heaven Pavilion he fought with one of its young disciples and even had his precious artifact destroyed, yes?”
Bai Yun Feng instantly became bitter, silently cursing this little slut in his heart while desperately maintaining a humble smile on his face, “This young master had embarrassed himself, Young Lady Qiu must be amused.”
As these two spoke, another beautiful young woman stepped forward to join them. This woman was quite petite, half a head shorter than Qiu Yi Meng, but her chest was another matter. It was fully rounded, immense by any standard, and unintentionally attracted the gazes of all those around her.
This young woman was clearly irritated, like a tiny enraged tiger, and angrily declared, “That little brat Yang Kai lives here? When Senior Brother Fan returned to Purple Fern Valley, he immediately went into retreat, saying he needed to cultivate lest even a second-class Sect’s disciple beat him and no one has seen him since. It’s all that Yang Kai’s fault! This time, I’ll make sure to capture him and make him pay!”
This Senior Brother Fan she mentioned was the no doubt that Fan Hong who had previously come to High Heaven Pavilion.
Luo Xiao Man and Fan Hong were both Elite Disciples of Purity Fern Valley and had grown up together, sharing deep roots between them, so now that she had not been able to see her sweetheart for the past several months, she naturally resented Yang Kai very much.
Qiu Yi Meng could only smile wryly and softly say, “Sister Xiao Man please control yourself, our main purpose here is to inquire about the Demon Lord’s information, everything else is secondary. Don’t make things more complicated for us!”
However, Luo Xiao Man was clearly not convinced and pouted, “I don’t care! In any case, I have to bring this Yang Kai kid back to Purple Fern Valley so that Senior Brother Fan and he can have a fair fight, that way the knot in Senior Brother’s heart can be resolved.”
Declaring so, she quickly went up, shook Qiu Yi Meng’s arm, and whined profusely, “Elder Sister Qiu, isn’t he just some second-class Sect disciple? When you’re taking care of the big matters I can just secretly bring people to capture him, it won’t disturb your plans, I promise.”
Qiu Yi Meng sighed and helplessly nodded, “Fine, he is, after all, still a young disciple, to think High Heaven Pavilion is so underwhelming…”
“Hee hee, Elder Sister Qiu is the best.” Luo Xiao Man happily smiled.
At that moment, Bai Yun Feng, who was standing nearby, lightly coughed, still grinning as he reminded, “Junior Sister Luo, it is not that I wish to dampen your moral and raise others’ prestige, but that Yang Kai is not someone so easily dealt with. A year ago he was only a Separation and Reunion Boundary cultivator, but he could already defeat me, and I and Brother Fan’s strength are quite similar. Now that a year has passed, the extent to which he has grown is difficult to determine, even if you bring him back to Purple Fern Valley and allow him to fight Brother Fan, I’m afraid…”
“Hmph! How can my Senior Brother Fan lose to some nobody from this backwater place!?” Luo Xiao Man grunted unhappily, her eyes dodging slightly sideways, “Big deal… I can just injure him enough to let Senior Brother Fan beat him.”
As these few juniors were talking, one of the Immortal Ascension Boundary Ninth Stage masters suddenly frowned, “Young Lady, something is wrong with the situation; there are far too few people here!”
Qiu Yi Meng’s expression slightly changed, and she asked seriously, “What do you mean?”
This old man quickly released his Divine Sense and a moment later bitterly replied, “It looks like High Heaven Pavilion anticipated that a crisis would befall it and has already made preparations. There are five Immortal Ascension Boundary masters gathered together to resist us while further behind them a lot of people have gathered together, they should be High Heaven Pavilion’s core younger generation disciples, it looks like they are preparing to escape!”
“In your dreams!” Qiu Yi Meng coldly snorted before quickly ordering, “Some of you go capture those five Immortal Ascension Boundary masters. If they dare to resist, kill without mercy! The rest of you come with me!”
“Yes!”
Because Bai Yun Feng had before informed them about the existence of Ling Tai Xu and Meng Wu Ya, two Peak Immortal Ascension Boundary masters, the Qiu Family had this time directly dispatched four Peak Immortal Ascension Boundary masters as well.
With these four people, the Qiu Family was confident it could deal with Ling Tai Xu and Meng Wu Ya.
This large group of people suddenly split into two forces and proceeded forward in an organized manner. The four Peak Immortal Ascension Boundary masters, followed by seven or eight other Immortal Ascension experts, flew straight towards Ling Tai Xu’s group while the rest, led by Qiu Yi Meng, raced towards the Coiling Dragon Stream.
Inside the Coiling Dragon Stream, Yang Kai and Su Yan were enjoying a moment of tenderness when suddenly his face suddenly changed, and he stared off into the distance.
“What happened?” Su Yan immediately noticed Yang Kai’s change and quickly asked.
“Someone has come!” Yang Kai’s expression became heavy, and he quickly shouted, “Everyone move faster, they’ve already found us.”
Up top, there were still around twenty younger generation disciples who had not been brought down, so when they heard Yang Kai’s cry, the several remaining Martial Uncles quickly pushed their True Qi, which dramatically increased their speed.
These remaining juniors were one after the other tossed into the Void corridor and disappeared.
A moment later, all of them had been safely evacuated.
“Martial Nephew…” The few remaining Martial Uncles quickly flew towards Yang Kai’s side, while vigilantly gazing towards their approaching enemies.
“You all go first!” Yang Kai ordered, “I’ll hold them off!”
“En!” No one hesitated, and all of them dove into the void corridor.
“Where are you running!?” From the distance, an angry voice roared, the sound hardly faded before a beam of light shot towards them.
They had arrived much faster than Yang Kai had imagined.
Yang Kai and Su Yan’s expressions both became serious. Together, they circulated their True Qi and released their own palm strikes towards the oncoming light.
With a muffled bang, the attacks collided, neutralizing each other, and soon after twenty or thirty figure appeared, which caused Yang Kai and Su Yan’s bodies to tremble slightly, retreat back a few tens of meters, and nearly fall down.
“That brat. Yang Kai… we meet again!” From within the crowd, the white robed Bai Yun Feng grimly cried.
Encountering his enemy once more, this time holding absolute superiority, naturally Bai Yun Feng would not give Yang Kai the slightest face.
“You are Yang Kai?” Luo Xiao Man looked him up and down disdainfully, “Is that it? I thought you’d have three heads and six arms, turns out you’re just an ordinary brat.”
Qiu Yi Meng grinned, also a bit of curious about this young kid, but when her sight landed on Su Yan, her eyes couldn’t help shrinking.
Qiu Yi Meng felt a lot of pressure from this icy young woman, like she was standing before an grand eternally snow-capped mountain.
A Master! And one who’s strength and cultivation were no less than hers! Qiu Yi Meng’s beautiful eyes flashed a trace of wonder, never imagining that she would see such a Heaven defying talent in this tiny remote High Heaven Pavilion.
On top of that, it wasn’t just this woman’s strength which was outstanding, even her beauty could only be described as country destroying, compared with her own looks, Qiu Yi Meng actually couldn’t help feeling a sense of inferiority.
Qiu Yi Meng involuntarily snorted coldly and quickly dispersed the faint jealousy she felt in her heart.
“You two, this time we have come to your Sect to ask you some questions, I hope you won’t make things difficult for us.” Qiu Yi Meng took a deep breath and said to Yang Kai and Su Yan, her eyes quietly glancing towards the dark void corridor nearby.
Even with her knowledge and status, she did not understand what this unusual thing was, provoking her curiosity as she tried to examine it.
Yang Kai smiled back disdainfully, “If young miss has simply come to ask some question why bring so much combat strength to my High Heaven Pavilion?”
He had long ago sensed Ling Tai Xu and the Elders engaging in battle and was clear that they were facing many Immortal Ascension Boundary masters so it was obvious they had no intention of settling things peacefully.
However, Qiu Yi Meng did not mind his arrogant tone and still faintly smiled, “If we do not show some strength, would you obediently lay down your pride and come with us? This is just another method of negotiating but I advise you not to resist or else I’m afraid you’ll have to suffer.”
Yang Kai’s face was gloomy. Opposite him were twenty or thirty people, and a number of them were Immortal Ascension Boundary masters, all of whom had locked their Divine Senses onto him and Su Yan.
As soon as they made the slightest movement, they would immediately be ruthlessly attacked!
The void corridor was several tens of meters away and still open, but it would not be long before it closed on its own.
[Can we escape?] Yang Kai thought to himself as he turned to see Su Yan. Her expression was perfectly calm like still water. Even in the face of twenty or thirty masters, she remained indifferent.
“Since it seems you two don’t wish to cooperate, I have no choice, seize them! We’ll question them later.” Qiu Yi Meng decisively issued an order. From the beginning till now, the light and carefree smile never once left her face.
“Yes!” Two of the Immortal Ascension Boundary experts stepped out from behind her and contemptuously sneered towards Yang Kai and Su Yan as they approached.
Yang Kai clenched Su Yan’s delicate hand and whispered, “You go first, don’t worry about me, they won’t dare really harm me.”
Su Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding gently. In this moment of crisis, she did not stubbornly insist on remaining by Yang Kai’s side like some naive woman because she was aware of Yang Kai’s true identity. This was his greatest protection, but if she stayed behind, it would only make the situation worse.
In that instant, the two of them had understood each other’s intent.
The two Immortal Ascension Boundary masters had already approached to within five meters.
But at that moment.
The Demonic Qi from the Coiled Dragon Stream suddenly surged and more than a dozen black as night dragons rushed up and struck the two Immortal Ascension Boundary masters.
This Demonic Qi contained a hidden unparalleled evil intent. The frontal impact of which did not deal much damage but instead attacked their Souls, which dazed them for a moment.
The two Immortal Ascension Boundary masters were obviously stunned as they showed pained expressions. Their eyes suddenly turned red as their reason began to crumble, like they were viscous beasts which had suddenly been freed after being imprisoned for hundreds of years, instantly rampaging about at everyone around them!
Yang Kai’s eyes shined, as he realized that Old Demon down below must have felt his unease and used this method to help him.
Unfortunately, this was the limit of what Old Demon could do.
“Go!” Yang Kai roared and quickly pulled Su Yan towards the void corridor.
This sudden change had sent the Qiu Family, Bai Family, and Purple Fern Valley people into a state of shock. All of them were greatly unsettled by the malicious intent radiating from the Demonic Qi dragons.
Before they could collect themselves, Yang Kai and Su Yan had broken through their blockade and were quickly approaching the unknown dark channel.
“Stop them!” Qiu Yi Meng yelled and immediately pursued them while launching a fierce attack.
“Where are you trying to run!” Luo Xiao Man also hurriedly gave chase. The whole reason she had joined this expedition was to capture Yang Kai and bring him back to Purple Fern Valley so Fan Hong could beat him. How could she tolerate Yang Kai escaping now?
As soon as these two women moved the others came back to their senses and also activated their movement skills.
In a flash, Yang Kai and Su Yan had dove into the void corridor, Su Yan in front, Yang Kai behind.
Inside this chaotic channel, Yang Kai quickly turned around and ferociously pushed his True Qi, bombarding the corridor walls.
He wanted to destroy the passage in order to ensure that the High Heaven Pavilion members could safely escape.
But Qiu Yi Meng and her forces also possessed incredible speed, so more than half of them had managed to enter the void corridor before Yang Kai could shatter it.
Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man who were in the lead, looked around at the chaotic space and couldn’t help but tremble.
The two women had no idea where this was, but since Yang Kai had dared to come in there shouldn’t have been any danger.
Determined, Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man also launched their own attacks towards Yang Kai.
Inside the Void corridor, as their respective True Qis swirled about and collided, a violent explosion occurred, instantly rupturing the already chaotic space.
Soon after, Yang Kai opened his eyes and discovered he had left the void corridor.
The next moment, Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man appeared not far from his location. Each of them were separated by a fair distance. Suddenly coming to a strange unfamiliar environment, their eyes couldn’t help flashing with confusion, as they gazed around blankly, even momentarily forgetting to attack Yang Kai again.
*Shua…* Another silhouette showed up near the three people but after seeing this person, all of them involuntarily shivered.
This person was a Qui Family master Qiu Yi Meng had brought with her, possessing a cultivation level at the Immortal Ascension Boundary Fifth Stage.
But now, he only had half a body left. The other half was sent who knows where, cleaved off as if a master swordsman had split him neatly in two.
His body crashed to the ground, sending his five viscera and six organs scattering about, blood splashing out. It was a tragic sight.
“How…” Qiu Yi Meng’s beautiful eyes shook while staring at this scene in utter disbelief. Luo Xiao Man also turned white and was almost unable to stop herself from vomiting, as she clutched her mouth and unsteadily moved towards Qiu Yi Meng.
“What kind of trick did you use?” Qiu Yi Meng suddenly looked up and coldly glared towards Yang Kai with her True Qi fluctuating.
Unable to understand the mysteries of the void corridor, she could only guess that Yang Kai had set some kind of trap in that chaotic space that had allowed him to kill one of her family’s masters, which greatly angered her.
An Immortal Ascension Boundary Fifth Stage cultivator, even for the Qiu Family, such a figure was not easy to train, and now he had actually wound up dead.
However, Yang Kai simply ignored her and instead looked around gloomily.
In addition to him and these two young women, there was actually no one else nearby. Forget the High Heaven Pavilion Uncles and Brothers who had entered the void corridor before him, even Su Yan who was only a step ahead of him was not here.
On top of that, this place was unfamiliar to him. It was definitely not the place Yang Kai and Ling Tai Xu had come to when they had used the void corridor before.
Releasing his Divine Sense and carefully checking a radius of twenty kilometers around him, a moment later, Yang Kai’s heart sank to the bottom!
Within his search radius there really were other people, but they were not his fellow High Heaven Pavilion Sect members but the True Element and Immortal Ascension cultivators who were formerly accompanying the two young women he was currently with. They had clearly managed to enter the void corridor along with him but had somehow been ejected and scattered about. The only fortunate thing was that there wasn’t too many of them, probably only a dozen or so, of which only two or three had reached the Immortal Ascension Boundary.
[Is it because of the fight inside the void corridor?] Yang Kai calmly analysed.
This was the only possibility; when their various True Qis had collided inside the void corridor, the resulting explosion had destroyed the corridor and thrown the people inside out into this strange land.
As for the half body on the ground, he was likely unlucky and had his other half lost somewhere inside the void corridor.
[What a close call!] Considering all this, Yang Kai couldn’t help oozing cold sweat.
[It seems like crossing the void is not something to be casually done, the slightest carelessness may lead to one dying without even knowing what happened.]
However, Su Yan should have safely rejoined the other High Heaven Pavilion members because she was in front of him. Thinking of this, Yang Kai breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hey, we asked you a question.” Luo Xiao Man’s face was still somewhat pale, but seeing Yang Kai standing there ignoring them, she couldn’t help but feel upset.
[A common disciple of some small backwater sect, how dare he! Even if he has some means, it’s still nothing much. Elder Sister Qiu is so powerful, beautiful, and famous, even the sons of those Eight Great Families all scramble for her attention but rarely receive a single word, but now Elder Sister Qiu takes the initiative to talk to him yet he refuses to answer her, how can he be so shameless?!]
Hearing this shout, Yang Kai awoke from his contemplation and glanced over towards the two young women, a cold light flashed across his eyes.
If it weren’t for this group of people’s sudden obstruction, he would right now be together with Su Yan, ten thousand kilometers away from danger.
Just when the two of them had agreed to join hands and travel the world together, they had shown up and messed everything up, and now he didn’t even know where Su Yan was. It was easy to imagine just how bad Yang Kai’s mood was right now.
“What is this place?” Qiu Yi Meng raised her delicate brow as she stood there, staring towards Yang Kai as she quietly asked.
She was tall, possessed slender legs, a full figure, a delicate face, and an especially soft and graceful waist. The purple dress she wore which hugged her body greatly provoked reverie in others.
In addition to that, she was the Qiu Family’s First Young Lady, possessing a noble and proud temperament, giving any young man around her an invisible sense of pressure, causing them to not dare show the slightest presumptuousness.
When she asked a question, she had always received an answer.
But Yang Kai simply showed her a disgusted and intolerant sneer, “What is this place? How the fuck should I know?”
Hearing his vulgar curses, the two young women were slightly surprised for a moment.
Luo Xiao Man’s beautiful face instantly turned red as she trembled, loudly scolding, “Smelly brat, how dare you talk to us like that!”
On the other hand, a mocking smile appeared on Qiu Yi Meng’s delicate face as she leisurely laughed and replied, “Interesting! There’s never been a man who dared scolded me like that, you are the first. If you don’t want to answer, it doesn’t matter, once I capture you I’ll slowly be able to ask.”
She was certain that all of this was some kind of plot Yang Kai had set up, but in truth Yang Kai really didn’t know where they were.
Yang Kai coldly snorted, circulated his True Qi, and the next moment activated his original Movement Skill and left a blur behind him as he quickly approached the two women.
He know that the three Immortal Ascension Boundary masters had already discovered traces of Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man and were rapidly coming to join them, so Yang Kai wanted to grab one of them as a bargaining chip, or else once he was surrounded by those several Immortal Ascension Boundary masters things would become difficult.
Seeing him act so boldly, Luo Xiao Man screamed, “I’ll fight with you!”
A group of blue halos suddenly emerged from her small body, each of them possessing a soft yet potent strength, some of them protecting her body while the other sped towards Yang Kai.
However, Yang Kai’s momentum did not diminish, his True Qi fiercely burst out. Luo Xiao Man’s Martial Skill simply had no affect on him, not slowing him in the slightest as he crashed towards her like a falling meteor, which caused her to once again go pale.
“Be careful!” Qiu Yi Meng quickly shouted as she waved her hand and used some kind of strange Martial Skill which simultaneously pulled Luo Xiao Man back towards her.
Yang Kai suddenly paused and ferociously punched towards his side, which caused a violent True Qi explosion to ring out.
The strength of the explosion forced Yang Kai back slightly, but before he could fix his stance, Qiu Yi Meng suddenly laughed, and her delicate body floated towards him like a leaf upon the wind, lightly stepping through the air, seemingly slow but somehow approaching him extremely fast.
This was a very profound Movement Skill, once she had displayed it, Qiu Yi Meng’s whole person became ethereal, impossible to trace.
Yang Kai’s expression became dignified, and he quickly released his Divine Sense to determine Qiu Yi Meng’s exact position and sends out a Burning Sun’s Three Layer Blast.
Qiu Yi Meng suddenly reappeared, her glamorous face flashed a trace of shock as she ferociously pushed her True Qi.
With a dull thud, Yang Kai couldn’t help but retreat a few steps while Qiu Yi Meng still had a faint smile upon her face and casually looked Yang Kai up and down and leisurely said, “You have some skill, but it’s nothing much. If that’s the best you can do I advise you to obediently let me capture you or else you’ll just embarrass yourself.”
[Strong!]
Listening to her relaxed tone, Yang Kai couldn’t help but become gloomy. He had wanted to take either Qiu Yi Meng or Luo Xiao Man as a hostage, but the Qiu Family’s First Young Lady was really not an average opponent. If he used his full strength, he should still be able to beat her, but definitely not in a short time.
With the three Immortal Ascension Boundary masters quickly approaching, the odds were definitely against him.
“Trying to escape?” Qiu Yi Meng’s pair of beautiful eyes suddenly flashed a hint of pride as she saw through Yang Kai’s thoughts and didn’t wait for him to reply before rushing towards him, “With me here, do you think you can leave?”
“Fuck off!” Yang Kai raised his palms and unleashed his White Tiger Seal and Divine Ox Seal.
The crimson Tiger and Ox Monster Beasts flew out and bared their fangs towards Qiu Yi Meng.
Qiu Yi Meng however wasn’t intimidated, letting out an elegant laugh, “It seems you do have more to offer, no wonder Bai Yun Feng lost to you!”
As she spoke, she waved her hands as well, her True Qi became visible to the naked eye, and sent out a strong palm strike
Before the two beast phantoms could reach Qiu Yi Meng they were shattered by her counterattack.
Seeing this, Yang Kai grinned, summoned his Asura Sword, pulled his True Yang Yuan Qi back into his dantian, and drew upon the evil energy stored within his Unyielding Golden Skeleton.
The entire area was filled with a thick hostility, wrapping Yang Kai up in a black mist, only leaving a pair of scarlet eyes exuding a vicious light behind.
With the Asura Sword in hand, Yang Kai appeared akin to a demon.
Feeling this bloodthirsty aura, Qiu Yi Meng’s expression finally changed, crying out, “High Heaven Pavilion really does have Devil Path cultivators!”
Simultaneously, she stretched out her hand, condensed a ball of lightning condensed from a terrifying amount of True Qi at her fingertips, and sent it crashing towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai responded with a single sword strike.
As his sword swept out, colliding with the lightning ball, the once condensed ball exploded into numerous lightning bolts that snaked around him and enveloped an area of several tens of meters.
Qiu Yi Meng quickly retreated, no longer daring to show the slightest contempt, her expression instead becoming more and more serious.
Yang Kai walked forward as the lightning flashed all around him and struck his body, but his pace never slowed, and instead increased with each step, all of sudden rushing right in front of Qiu Yi Meng.
Feeling this overwhelming murderous intent, Qiu Yi Meng’s beautiful face went pale, and she hastily shouted, “Barrier!”
In front of her small hands a shield appeared that instantly radiated a light which enveloped her.
Obviously it was a defensive artifact, and given how wealthy and powerful the Qiu Family was, its grade was definitely not low.
With a loud bang, the Asura Sword struck this shield, their two True Qis violently collided and sent out powerful shockwaves.
Qiu Yi Meng quickly withdrew several tens of meters, and her body trembled slightly. In this confrontation she apparently had suffered some light damage.
Looking down at the shield in her hands, Qiu Yi Meng laughed bitterly, “You really do have some skill. Just a trivial True Element Boundary Third Stage cultivator pushing me this far, it looks like I’ve underestimated you!”
Finished speaking, she received the small ancient shield back into her body and proceeded to form various seals with her hands, which caused bursts of various attributed energies to suddenly radiate from her body.
Wind, Cloud, Thunder, and Lightning gathered around her, forming a terrible energy storm.
Staring deeply at Yang Kai, a deep, unyielding pride flashed across her beautiful eyes.
“I have no time to play with you!” Yang Kai angrily roared and slashed his sword forward, seemingly in an attempt to cleave open a path of escape.
But Qiu Yi Meng had delayed him enough; the closest Immortal Ascension Boundary master managed to close in enough to launch a long distance attack.
Yang Kai cursed silently and dodged the incoming attack while rapidly displaying the first half of his Strike of Ten Thousand Swords.
The sky filled with Sword Qi, as Yang Kai swiftly swung his Asura Sword to guard his body with half of the countless Sword Qi blades while launching the other half forward to open a gap.
“Halt!” A booming voice arrogantly cried from his side, “You dare disrespect Young Lady Qiu, you court death!”
As this man furiously roared, he smashed all the Sword Qi blades Yang Kai had released, which simultaneously forced Yang Kai back.
A silhouette flashed in front of him as an Immortal Ascension Boundary Sixth Stage master blocked his way, as he glared coldly towards Yang Kai.
“Let’s see if you can back up your words!” Yang Kai didn’t show any fear and sneered as numerous Sword Qi blades once again gathered around him and shot forward while at the same time a number of blood red petals suddenly emerged from his body. Each one was an extremely sharp killing weapon.
Thousand Blossoming Blood Begonia!
After he had refined Falling Blossom Temple’s hallowed artifact, Yang Kai had actually never used it until now.
A full thousand red petals wrapped around his body. All of them responded freely to his will, just like his own arms. With a flash of red light, Yang Kai sent these red petals towards the Immortal Ascension Boundary Sixth Stage master.
“A Heaven Grade artifact!” The man had good vision and immediately saw how extraordinary this Thousand Blossoming Blood Begonia was, which set off a burst of storms inside his head. This Immortal Ascension master fully pushed his strength and sent out a rich and pure True Qi burst from his palms. A hazy mountain-like image suddenly appeared in front of him and suppressed the Thousand Blossoming Blood.
As they crashed together, the thousand petals scattered and flew off in all directions. The mountain-like image also flashed and dimmed greatly.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Kai lunged with his sword and stabbed towards the Immortal Ascension master. His opponent, having just unreservedly pushed his True Qi to display such a grand Martial Skill was temporarily stunned and was unable to catch his breath, but, after feeling the Asura Sword’s brutal hostility closing in, he hastily dodged.
However, this was all just Yang Kai’s trick. Not even sparing this master a second glance, he raced forward past him.
“Where are you trying to run!” Qiu Yi Meng’s screamed, her voice was still tinged with the same cold unyielding pride.
A huge force suddenly pulled him back. Yang Kai involuntarily halted and turned around to see Qiu Yi Meng’s four attribute field spread out a devastating energy, which created a kind of muddy swamp like region that dulled his movements and held back his body, not allowing him to break free.
“Damn slut!” Yang Kai’s expression changed, and he waved his sword and sent countless Sword Qi blades towards Qiu Yi Meng.
Qiu Yi Meng remained steadfast as a grin appeared on her face. The small shield artifact once again appeared in front of her and blocked Yang Kai’s attack.
But at that moment the thousand scattered blood red petals silently turned and raced towards Qiu Yi Meng.
“Elder Sister Qiu, watch out!” Luo Xiao Man quickly shouted and sent out a flash of light as she waved her hands. A large variety of weapons shot out from this light and intercepted the Thousand Blossoming Blood Begonia.
“There’s no way out, obediently let us capture you!” Qiu Yi Meng grinned proudly and laughed as she clashed with Yang Kai.
“Indeed! Demon child, you won’t escape today!” A new voice called out as two more figures appeared; the other two Immortal Ascension Boundary masters had arrived.
Yang Kai’s expression was extremely gloomy as a faint frustration and helplessness appeared in his heart.
Against an Immortal Ascension Boundary master, if he used his full strength and exhausted all his artifacts and hidden means, he could at best create an opportunity to escape, but now that three of them had gathered, how could he resist?
[Too weak, I’m still too weak! A True Element Boundary Third Stage cultivation isn’t nearly enough!]
The two newly arrived Immortal Ascension Boundary masters didn’t waste any time talking with Yang Kai, and they instantly released their Martial Skills.
Yang Kai somehow managed to parry but still couldn’t fully defend himself. His chest and shoulder both received blows that broke bones, sending unbearable pain through his body and caused him to fall from the sky like a broken kite.
Glancing around, he found himself surrounded on all four sides; the three Immortal Ascension master plus Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man were all staring towards him.
While looking at the Asura Sword in his hands, even Qiu Yi Meng couldn’t help feeling a hint of greed while the others present all clearly had covetous eyes.
On top of that there were the thousand petals of the Thousand Blossoming Blood Begonia fluttering about. Both of these artifacts were rare treasures!
“Ready to surrender yet?” Qiu Yi Meng sneered towards Yang Kai, the three Immortal Ascension Boundary masters also glaring at him, coldly snorting as they released a silent pressure.
“Demon child, waste your cultivation or this old master will do it for you!” One of the Immortal Ascension masters coldly shouted.
In the face of this crisis, Yang Kai suddenly grinned deviously, the evil Qi flowing out from his body surging violently.
Although he had been surrounded, it was not like he didn’t have a chance to escape; Yang Kai felt that if he suddenly activated Unyielding Will and then used his Flaming Yang Wings, he could still manage to flee.
His speed while using his Flaming Yang Wings was much faster than an ordinary Immortal Ascension master, so as long as he could cope with their first wave of attacks he would have a chance.
With his supply of Myriad Drug Milk, even if he was gravely injured he could soon heal himself.
The question was, could he cope with their initial attacks? It would be a joint attack from all those present, and this caused Yang Kai no small pressure.
“Still refusing to cooperate!?” That Immortal Ascension Boundary master, seeing Yang Kai take no action, became impatient as he shouted angrily and immediately stepped forward.
Seeing this, Yang Kai made up his mind to take the risk when suddenly the three Immortal Ascension Boundary masters all looked up into the sky and frowned.
Yang Kai also wrinkled his brow after feeling an extremely tyrannical pressure approach from far away. This pressure was far greater than even the one these three Immortal Ascension Boundary masters exuded.
“Two Young Ladies, be carefully!” The three old masters completely ignored Yang Kai and instead took up a defensive stance in front of Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man. Their faces were all very grim.
A moment later, from the horizon, a small bright red light suddenly flashed, drawing the crowd’s attention as a figure rapidly flew towards them and came to a halt a few tens of meters away.
It was a young woman. A seductive and flirtatious young woman.
Her flame red clothes tightly hugged her body, emphasizing her graceful and enchanting figure, painting an extremely charming picture; her tender jade lotus-like arms were adorned only with a set of silver bracelets, her skin a pure shade of white, her legs long and slender, her waist thin contrary to her rounded bottom, on her feet were a pair of jade sandals, her ten delicate toes fully displayed.
Her crescent eyebrows highlighted her pair of bright eyes, which exuded a seductive light, seeming to contain an infinite charm; her delicate nose and cherry red lips, along with her creamy white cheeks gave her a glamorous air.
Her figure was slim to the point one would worry a light breeze would blow her away and break her.
At the corner of her eye was a tiny tear shaped mole, adding to her charm.
As she stood mid-air, her cheeks blushed a faint hint of red. She brought a sense of reverie to all who glanced upon her.
If Su Yan’s was the epitome of purity and Xia Ning Chang was the embodiment of innocence, this young woman represented the peak of seduction. Even just standing there, she exuded an aura of attraction and fascination!
The few men here could not remove their eyes from her. Regardless of whether they were young and old, they all involuntarily gulped and their breathing became rough.
Her watery eyes seemed to contain an endless allure, drawing in everyone’s soul.
Even Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man, despite both being beautiful women themselves, couldn’t help feeling a strange kind of attraction. Their cheeks flushed red as their heartbeats sped up.
However, Qiu Yi Meng soon woke up and secretly felt a slight shame in her heart. Glancing around at her surroundings, she gritted her teeth as she cursed, “Men really have no shame!”
The three Immortal Ascension Boundary masters all blushed with embarrassment as they wryly grinned, but none of them dared make any sudden moves; with the pressure they felt from this woman, how could her strength be low?
The woman swept her charming eyes over the people gathered here before finally stopping when she saw Yang Kai. Lightly biting her red lips, her brow furrowed, like she was struggling with something as she pondered for a moment before asking, “Which leader do you follow?”
Hearing her sweet sensual voice softly speak, everyone else present felt like something had gently gripped their hearts, invaded their souls, and instinctively drove them to worship the woman before them.
Having just managed to calm her unfamiliar impulses, everyone suddenly felt captivated once more. This time Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man were no exception, both of them blushed intensely and were unable to stop a soft moan from gently escaping their lips.
“Which leader?” Yang Kai on the other hand simply frowned and unconsciously answering her question with one of his own.
He really did not understand what this woman was asking.
“Hmm…” The woman’s eyes flashed a trace of surprise, apparently not expecting Yang Kai to collect himself so quickly. In her current state, if she didn’t say anything things were still manageable, but as soon as she spoke, no matter who it was, they would at least be somewhat affected by her charms. So how did this youth, covered in such thick hostility, manage to rid himself of such impulses?
In truth, Yang Kai who was continuously resisting the impulses brought on by his Joyous Unification Art and was simply more skilled at suppressing his urges than others.
“Forget it, I don’t have time to idly chat with you.” Whatever it was the woman was struggling with seemed to become more difficult to handle, and she whispered softly and threw out a pink ribbon type artifact that instantly wrapped around Yang Kai’s waist.
Yang Kai’s expression cramped, and he Gripped the Asura Sword tightly in his hand, preparing to fight back. However, before he could react, the woman had appeared in front of him, and from her small cherry red lips she spat out a strange fragrant breath.
The instant he smelled this odd scent, Yang Kai’s whole body felt limp, and he completely lost any power to resist.
[So strong! This woman has to have at least be a peak Immortal Ascension Boundary master! But she looks so young, how is that possible?]
“Since you’ve all seen me, I can’t let you leave!” The woman sighed faintly and flicked her wrist. A silver bracelet flew out towards the three half stunned Immortal Ascension Boundary masters.
As soon as the silver light flashed, the three Immortal Ascension masters Yang Kai had been struggling desperately with were reaped like wheat, instantly collapsing into pools of blood. All of them were unable to even resist.
The silver flash also streamed ruthlessly towards Qiu Yi Meng and Luo Xiao Man.
Suddenly thrust to the border between life and death, a pair of exquisite earrings hanging upon Qiu Yi Meng’s delicate ears exuded a bright glow. The light burst seemingly shocked her out of her stupor.
Instantaneously, Qiu Yi Meng took out her shield artifact and guarded herself.
With a loud bang, Qiu Yi Meng was flung backwards and vomited a mouthful of blood, but she somehow managed to stop the silver flash’s momentum.
The young woman wrinkled her brow. Her tender body trembled lightly, and a drop of blood leaked from where she had bit her lip, as she rapidly circulated her True Qi rapidly in order to maintain her current state.
No longer continuing to attack, she hurriedly pulled the tied up Yang Kai and raced off, like she couldn’t stand wasting another moment here.
Luo Xiao Man’s cheeks were flushed completely red. Her beautiful pair of eyes blurred over, and a series of light moans, she was clearly trying to suppress, constantly leaked from her lips. She tightly held her legs together as she felt a boundless pleasure spread throughout her body like lightning, that paralyzed her lower body and caused her body to quiver and tremble involuntarily. The heat below her navel suddenly erupted as a hot nectar unconsciously leaked from her secret place, wetting her soft silk underwear.
Her legs collapsed. She fell to her knees, with her cheeks glowing red hot, as she desperately gasped for breath, while her large shapely chest rapidly rose and fell, as if she were drowning in an unfamiliar peak, and high-pitched cries leaked from her mouth. Luo Xiao Man’s whole body convulsed in a strange and suggestive manner.
“Xiao Man… ke ke…” Qiu Yi Meng who had fallen nearby weakly called out.
“Wha…” Hearing this feeble cry, Luo Xiao Man suddenly came back to her senses, suddenly aware of her gaffe as she felt a clear wetness staining her thigh. Her beautiful face instantly went even redder.
She had no idea what had just happened. Only that that red clothed woman had uttered a few words before she fell into a fantastical illusion. In that illusion, she had cast off all of her dignity and shyness, as if she had becoming extremely discontent with being a constrained noble young woman and given in to her most primal and debased instincts, demanding the most immoral and obscene pleasures.
And that the object of these demands was actually the entire group of young people who had journeyed here together with her to capture Yang Kai!
Recalling the scene she had just fantasized, Luo Xiao Man immeasurable shame. Her pair of beautiful eyes teared up and soon filled with endless rage and humiliation!
“Xiao Man… please, help me!” Qiu Yi Meng’s begged, her True Qi violently fluctuated as her blood nearly flowed backwards. She was all but completely disabled, but seeing Luo Xiao Man sitting there blankly, as if in a stupor, she couldn’t help calling out again.
“Ah… en…” Luo Xiao Man staggered to her feet as a sudden breeze blew past, bringing a chilly sensation to her lower body. The cold stimulus sent an odd rush of pleasure through her which caused her body to tremble slightly.
“What happened, is something wrong?” Qiu Yi Meng looked at her confusedly, feeling like she was behaving oddly.
“N-n-nothing! It’s nothing!” Luo Xiao Man hurriedly replied and quickly walked towards Qiu Yi Meng while taking out a bottle of pills from her sleeve like she was asked and fed her one.
Finally examining her surroundings and noticing the bloody remains of the three Immortal Ascension Boundary masters who were with them, a chill ran up Luo Xiao Man’s back.
After a long time, Qiu Yi Meng exhaled a long breath.
“Elder Sister Qiu, who was that woman?” Luo Xiao Man asked quietly, while holding her knees to her chest as she sat on the ground, clearly still experiencing some lingering fear.
However, Qiu Yi Meng just slowly shook her head, “I don’t know, but no matter who she was, there’s no doubt she was a devilish bewitching woman. If we meet again, we have to be extremely careful.”
“Oh…” Luo Xiao Man somewhat guilty replied.
With a single sentence, she had let a pure girl who was completely unfamiliar with the acts between men and women fall into a depraved fantasy. Obviously, that woman cultivated some kind of incredible Seduction Technique; how could a woman who cultivated such a skill be anything good?
Not long after, the dozen or so scattered True Element Boundary cultivators of their group finally arrived, drawn here by the sounds of conflict.
Bai Yun Feng was also among them; obviously he had some good luck, not only did he not suffer any injuries in the collapse of the void corridor he also did not get caught up in the previous battle, therefore he was essentially unscathed.
Once they had regrouped and taken stock of their current situation, Qiu Yi Meng couldn’t help feeling her heart sink.
There were only ten of them left here, and the only three Immortal Ascension Boundary masters had all been killed!
“Let’s explore our immediate surroundings first and then make a plan!” Qiu Yi Meng swiftly issued instructions.
…
High above the group, a red shadow flew forward.
It was that unknown extremely seductive young woman. Her cultivation was truly amazing, flying through the air as fast as the wind, Yang Kai dangled behind her still tied up by her pink ribbon artifact with his strength completely sealed, unable to even struggle.
Finally escaping the tigers pursuing him, I’ve found myself firmly inside the wolf’s den, Yang Kai thought.
This woman had killed those people back there without batting an eye, not bothering to ask who they were or why they were there, just directly unleashing a killing strike. Clearly she was not some benevolent person, but then, why had she taken him with her?
Yang Kai found this incredibly puzzling.
Secretly trying to circulate his True Qi, he quickly found that he could not summon even a strand of it. His Divine Sense could still be used but in front of such a master, how could Yang Kai dare to release his Divine Sense.
“Don’t waste your time, you’ve inhaled my Soul Numbing Fragrance, you won’t be able to use your body’s strength or your True Qi unless your strength is higher than mine!” The young woman’s soft enchanting voice came from up ahead and caused Yang Kai’s heart to jump few times.
“Soul Numbing Fragrance?” Yang Kai laughed, “What a good name.”
[Why does this name sound like some kind of aphrodisiac?] Yang Kai cursed to himself. This person really was a demon seductress; with the faint blush upon her face coupled with the carnivorous light in her eyes, now that he had fallen into her hands, he had no idea when she would forcefully drain him of his essence and True Qi, leaving nothing but a husk behind!
Yang Kai instinctively felt that this woman cultivated some kind of one sided Yin Yang evil Secret Art.
If he really died like that, it would be too tragic!
“You’ve never heard of my Soul Numbing Fragrance?” The woman asked, slightly surprised.
[Should I know it?] Yang Kai did not answer and instead immediately let out a deep sigh, while trying to suppress the rolling blood in his chest, “Forget it, don’t speak to me anymore, or else I may just force myself upon you.”
The woman who had been wholeheartedly trying to endure some unknown hardship, after suddenly hearing Yang Kai boast so presumptuously towards her, actually couldn’t help giggling happily. Turning her charming eyes towards him, she wondered if this little brat, who didn’t even know about her Soul Numbing Fragrance, was not a disciple of the Holy Land?
As she swept her eyes over him, Yang Kai also glanced up towards her.
When this young woman smiled sweetly, her cheeks flushed slightly making her seem even more attractive.
As he stared, Yang Kai’s gaze involuntarily shifted in a certain direction, bringing the usually hidden scenery beneath her dress into view.
His heart suddenly skipped violently!
Clearly visible inside this young woman’s skirt was actually an erotic black lace lingerie. The thin fabric only narrowly hid her most sacred land and highlighted the infinite wonder which lay beyond it. A stark contrast with her long slender jade-like legs, making them even more appealing, like the finest works of pure white porcelain.
These two legs seemingly didn’t belong to a mortal woman, instead more akin to those of a Heavenly Fairy or Bewitching Demoness, exuding a charm that seemed to draw in one’s soul, violently stimulating the most primitive instincts within Yang Kai’s heart, his eyes instantly fogging over as his breath became rough.
Half confused, summoning strength and courage from some unknown place, Yang Kai actually stupidly stretched out his hand and directly touched the young woman’s calf and gently rubbed it to his heart’s content.
As if she was suddenly struck by lightning, the woman, who was still focusing most of her attention on maintaining her lucid state of mind, was caught off guard by Yang Kai touching her so intimately. Her beautiful face suddenly went pale as her cheeks blushed furiously. Her expression became more and more alluring, a bone softening moan leaked from her throat as her tender body trembled greatly.
“Smelly little brat!” The flustered woman hurriedly tried to compose herself as she grit her teeth and scolded; although she knew that Yang Kai’s offense was not due to his intention, but instead due in large part to her own current condition, being touched so wantonly was simply too much for her to bear.
As his big rough hand continued to intimately stroked her leg, it felt like a surge of lightning flooded into her, sending paralysing waves up her body; even if she was an Immortal Ascension Boundary master there was no way she could fly safely in such a condition.
With Yang Kai touching her so, it was like she flew in mid-air completely drunk.
“Let go already!” The young woman finally called out in frustration and used her other jade-like foot to kick Yang Kai’s shoulder, as she tugged on the pink ribbon, bringing Yang Kai up next to her.
Being jerked awake, Yang Kai fogged over eyes suddenly glimmered with a mad and cunning light, grinning maliciously, exhausting all the strength he could muster to reach out and embrace this temptress’s graceful waist.
“You…” The woman was shocked, apparently never imagining that Yang Kai would be able to regain his senses.
Yang Kai kept up his assault, his two hands tightly wrapping around the young woman’s slim waist, indulging in the pleasant sensation; her waist was so soft it really felt like she didn’t have a single bones, its elasticity was also superb, responding perfectly to his every touch.
His ten fingers wandered up and down her body, doing everything possible to tease and stimulate her senses; his mouth was also not polite, biting down gently onto her full trembling peaks across her red dress.
Yang Kai couldn’t use the slightest bit of his True Qi, nor could he summon any significant strength, but this bite was definitely a deadly attack.
As his hot breath passed through her clothes onto her tender body, she violently trembled, his bite soon changing into a gentle sucking, sending the young woman’s True Qi into a chaotic mess, causing her and Yang Kai to begin plummeting towards the ground.
“Let go of me already!” The woman screamed angrily, while desperately trying to endure the throbbing sensation coming from her heart. Her red lips bled from where she had bitten down on them, and her delicate hands gripped Yang Kai’s head, as she tried to push him off of her, but his incessant teasing was causing her to feel numb and powerless, sealing off all of her strength. Moreover, she felt more intoxicated the more time passed.
“Don’t wanna!” Yang Kai’s mouth continued biting and teasing her spring buds, constantly releasing hot breath onto her snow white skin. His snake like tongue coiled around these delicate fruits, unambiguously answering her.
There was something wrong with this devilish woman’s current state, as if she was suffering from some kind of extremely overbearing aphrodisiac. The slightest touch sent numbing waves of pleasure throughout her body, but still her strength was too great, flat out disqualifying him from being her opponent, so if he wanted to survive, Yang Kai had no choice but to use underhanded methods.
“Do you want to die? If you don’t let go right now we’ll both end up dead!” The young woman’s wavering voice cried out in-between her amorous moans as the two of them fast approached the ground. Falling from a height of several thousand meters, even if her cultivation was unfathomable she would still be smashed into a pool of blood.
“Heh heh, if I, the withering peony met his end here, so long as it’s with you, I am blessed!” Yang Kai grinned fearlessly as he teased her, like he didn’t care at all whether he lived or died.
The young woman’s expression finally became grim, silently cursing this shameless smelly brat. Taking a deep breath to calm the discomfort in her body and the raging impulses in her heart, she somehow managed to circulate her True Qi to slow their descent.
But this burst of True Qi she had summoned with all her will soon too collapsed from all the external stimuli she received.
With a heavy thud, Yang Kai and the woman hit the ground, still in each other’s embrace and tumbled several times before eventually coming to a halt.
Fortunately, her last ditch efforts had managed to greatly slow their descent. Thus, even though they were dishevelled, neither of them had sustained any major injuries.
Without the use of their True Qi, Yang Kai’s strength was far greater while locked in a grapple.
As the dust around them settled, Yang Kai desperately pinned this young woman under him, as he thrust his hands under her dress and groped towards her chest. His fingers accurately grasped her raised cherries and presumptuous kneaded them.
With her red clothes partial removed, the young woman’s shocking and alluring white chest revealed itself. Her two bountiful peaks trembled violently, like they were trying to break free of their remaining shackles and burst forth with their phenomenal elasticity on full display.
Thanks to his full force assault, the woman seemed to have completely lost her ability to resist. Her dream like eyes gently closed, and her long eyelashes quivered lightly. Her soft snake like body writhed and twisted beneath Yang Kai. Waves of barely suppressed moans filled with infinite desire leaked from her mouth.
Seemingly resigned to her fate, she no longer resisted, and her hands gently reached up and wrapped behind Yang Kai’s head, pulling him up from her chest, her cheeks were dyed the same cherry-red as her luscious pair of lips.
Yang Kai had also secretly been on guard against her Soul Numbing Fragrance, but seeing her take the initiative to cooperate with him, he no longer acted polite, pounced like a wolf, and deeply kissed her.
A sweet and delicious taste instantly spread from the tip of his tongue, but after only sampling this wondrous flavour, the woman suddenly opened her enchanting eyes, a sly and triumphant light flashed across them.
Startled, Yang Kai quickly separated his lips from hers.
“You…” Before he could finish speaking another word, Yang Kai felt the world spin before his eyes and instantly lost all consciousness, falling powerlessly onto the young woman’s chest.
The young woman panted heavily, desperately trying to calm the raging heat in her chest, and took quite some time before managing to regain her composure. Lifting Yang Kai off of her body and rolling him aside, she slowly sat up, grinding her silvery teeth fiercely. Her heart was filled with anger.
After a while though, she suddenly smiled, laughed, and leaked a sigh from her cherry red lips as she said to herself, “To think a naughty rouge like you is so skillful. You must definitely not be anything good! Hmph, this Queen’s beauty isn’t something one can taste so easily!”
Finished with her monologue, she quickly stood and tidied herself up before bitterly glancing towards the comatose Yang Kai lying nearby. While gripping her ribbon artifact, she flicked her wrist and wrapped him up once more before flying away again.
…
Yang Kai woke up in a daze and felt a dull pain radiating throughout his entire body, like he was being pricked by thousands of needles. His surroundings were dark, and only the faint flickering light of a torch stuck into a nearby wall provided any light.
A sweet lingering aroma wafted past his nose, it was… somehow familiar. It had the same taste as that flirtatious woman’s fragrance.
The scent was neither heavy nor light. It was truly a pleasant bouquet that carried with it a hint of an aphrodisiac effect.
Thinking about that devilish woman, Yang Kai suddenly sobered up and vigilantly examined his surroundings.
He quickly discovered the young woman sitting down not far away. Her True Qi surged ferociously, and her eyes closed as she circulated some kind of unknown Secret Art.
Checking his current physical condition, Yang Kai’s face couldn’t help cringing.
His strength had been mostly restored, and he was able to circulate his True Qi, but his entire body was somehow bound by a mysterious force, which left him completely immobile.
It seemed like he had been poisoned, and the more he revolved his True Qi the dizzier he became. Silently panicking, Yang Kai quickly ceased all his actions, not daring to act recklessly.
Glancing around, Yang Kai figured that right now he should be inside a cave somewhere. The cave was not deep, only a few tens of meters or so, and he was currently sitting cross legged in the innermost part of the cave. The young woman who had capture him sat just opposite him, clearly not wanting him to leave her sight.
Looking the young woman over once again, Yang Kai had to admit that she was very beautiful, and extremely attractive. Every part of her seemed to scream out the word ‘seductive’, especially the tiny tear shaped mole under her eyes. It was an extremely charming feature.
Seemingly aware of Yang Kai’s presumptuous gaze, the young woman slightly opened her eyes, and a faint haze still lingered within yet still contained a hint of spice, a watery exotic look that seemed to draw in one’s soul. Her cheeks flushed a delicate shade of pink, as she exhaled a hot breath.
“So you’ve woken up?” The young woman showed a sweet smile as she looked at Yang Kai with great interest.
“Elder Sister, what’s the meaning of all this?” Yang Kai gazed back at her unashamedly as a chuckle leaked from his mouth, “You’ve already imprisoned me. Is there any need to restrict my movements too?”
The woman laughed happily, “If I don’t tie you down, how could I stop you from running away?”
Yang Kai shamelessly shot back, “How could I be willing to run away? The night is still young, Junior Brother here is very reluctant to let Elder Sister be alone, in fact, if Elder Sister wants, all she has to do is say the word and Junior Brother would be willing to fulfil any of her requests, come hell or high water!”
The young woman frowned towards him, recalling how just before he had wantonly touched her, taking full advantage of her, causing her body to suddenly give rise to a burst of heat, and she grit her teeth in shame and anger.
However, Yang Kai’s eyes still blazed hot as fire as he licked his parched lips. His gaze presumptuously wandered all over the devilish women in front of him. An unparalleled greed and aggression seemed to radiate from him, and as if he couldn’t wait to strip the young woman before him naked, he boldly declared, “Actually, being honest with Elder Sister, when Junior Brother first laid eyes upon, he fell completely in love with her, so why doesn’t Elder Sister release me, and we can speak freely to each other? I really adore Elder Sister, in my heart she is my entire world, the sun, the moon, and the stars above!”
Hearing Yang Kai profess himself to her, the young woman couldn’t help but giggle and tremble lightly as she tried to hold back her laughter while silently cursing this shameless little brat’s ability to speak such a mouthful of nonsense. Her pure white neck flushed a light shade of pink.
Seeing how she didn’t react in annoyance or anger, Yang Kai’s courage bloated a lot. In any case, with things having come to this point and considering her overwhelming strength, he basically had no hope of escape, so he might as well focus on trying to learn why she had taken him in the first place.
If she had only wanted to kill him, there was no need for her to suffer his presence for this long. She could have ended this long ago.
The young woman’s sweet smile slowly gave way to an alluring one. Her delicate white hand covered her red lips, causing her to overflow with seductive charm and infinite beauty as she gently whispered, “If you like me so… how could you have been so rough with me? What would have happened if I had broken?”
[This little fox!] Yang Kai cursed in his heart, almost losing his composure once again.
Hurriedly steadying his mind, he grinned mischievously, “As the saying goes, ‘the first time traveling a path is unfamiliar, but the second is not!’ Earlier, Junior Brother had not known what would please Elder Sister, so he acted too abruptly, but now with that experience, I wonder if Elder Sister has any interest in trying again? This time Junior Brother guarantees he will completely satisfy her!”
“You shameless rogue!” The young woman ground her teeth as she cursed under her breath, her vision slightly blurred.
Yang Kai was no doubt the thickest skinned brat she had ever met, and his ability to spout sweet nonsense was also first-class. Coupled with his skillful teasing actions before, how could he be an innocent romantic? Clearly, he was a veteran in these types of affairs and had certainly plundered many young girls’ innocence.
Although she also thought of herself as a rather unrestrained woman, Yang Kai’s blatant provocations had even left her somewhat embarrassed, not to mention that, right now, her condition was somewhat unusual, so she really couldn’t stand listening to these words.
Holding down the unease in his heart, Yang Kai boldly asked, “Has Elder Sister been poisoned by some kind of aphrodisiac?”
Clearly, she was not in a normal state and suffered from something that made her desires run rampant, urging her to seek out a man in order to ease the heat in her body, and she was currently reaching the limits of her endurance. All of this greatly puzzled Yang Kai.
Slightly surprised for a moment, the young woman’s expression became a bit strained as she let out an awkward laugh, “You’re somewhat right, yet somewhat wrong.”
“Somewhat right, yet somewhat wrong?” Yang Kai parroted back in confusion.
“It is just like you think, but this poison is my own doing!” The woman looked at Yang Kai, apparently with no intention of concealing anything as she explained, “My state is a result of my Secret Art about to have a breakthrough; every time I break through I become like this, it’s just that while I was traveling, I was ambushed and suffered some injuries, so the side effects are more violent than normal, I don’t know if I’ll be able to resist them…”
“So you captured me just in case?” Yang Kai suddenly realized.
A storm suddenly swirled in his heart; what kind of Secret Art would send a woman into an aroused state when she was going to break through?
Devil Path Cultivation Technique! It was definitely a Devil Path Cultivation Technique!
There was also an eighty percent chance this Secret Art was a Yin-Yang absorbing technique!
Yang Kai’s blood immediately ran cold, if his essence was really absorbed by this devilish woman, it would really be a sad end.
“It’s just in case!” The woman nodded slightly, not even attempting to deny it.
Yang Kai was imprisoned at the moment, unable to fight back in any way, so she obviously had no need to lie.
“Why did you take me?”
“Back there, in addition to you, there were only three old man and two young women… aside from you, who else was there to catch?” The young woman smiled at him sweetly.
[Fuck, such bad luck! Why didn’t that little brat Bai Yun Feng keep up with us? If he had been there maybe I wouldn’t have been caught!]
“Being able to service Elder Sister, it is Junior Brother’s pleasure!” Yang Kai said, a cheap grin plastered on his face as she stared at her hotly, “There’s no need for you try to hard to resist, if you just relax and give in we can get started right away!”
The young woman once more hid her smile and quipped, “You really think of nothing but beauties? The Secret Art I cultivate is quite special, although if I don’t succeed here I can still continue to cultivate, but before I reach the grand accomplishment stage again, my cultivation speed will be reduced greatly. I’m just one step away so how could I give up now?”
Yang Kai’s eyes glimmered, flashing a resigned light, “So Elder Sister was so close to reaching perfection! Good good good, it looks like Elder Sister and Junior Brother really are fated together by the Heavens! If you cannot resist any more, just let Junior Brother handle the rest!”
On the inside, Yang Kai’s heart was pounding like a drum; although he didn’t know what consequences there would be if he was drained by this woman, just by seeing the power of the evil Secret Art she cultivated, the end results would certainly not be good.
So even though he might very well soon be intertwined with this great beauty, Yang Kai didn’t dare have the slightest bit of arousal.
The young woman stared deeply into Yang Kai’s eyes, her own flashing a trace of pity and regret, quietly asking, “What is your name?”
“Yang Kai!”
“Yang Kai…” The young woman whispered softly under her breath before nodding once, “I will remember it; my name is Shan Qing Luo!”
“It’s a pleasant sounding name…” Yang Kai couldn’t help wrinkling his brow. This name… it was like he had heard it somewhere before.
But considering this young woman’s extraordinary strength, she was no dobut some world famous master, having heard of her before was normal so Yang Kai did not think too deeply about it.
“I haven’t sealed up your True Qi, so prepare yourself, don’t lose your senses!” Shan Qing Luo sweetly laughed and reminded him, “Your wit is quick but I don’t know how well you can resist what comes next. Other than that… you’d better pray that I succeed!”
“Or else?” Yang Kai’s heart filled with a bitter feeling.
“Hehe…” Shan Qing Luo giggled lightly, not answering his question. Her watery eyes simply stared at Yang Kai for a moment before saying, “You’re fairly handsome, and although you spout too much nonsense and act like a shameless rogue, but that’s not your true nature, so Elder Sister still likes you somewhat!”
Done talking, her cheeks gave off a faint reddish hue. She didn’t give Yang Kai any time to react before she suddenly closed her eyes and rapidly circulated her True Qi again!
Yang Kai quickly shut his mouth and began to carefully scrutinize Shan Qing Luo, careful not to miss the slightest changes in her state.
From her previous words, it was not difficult for Yang Kai to infer that she was in a rather difficult situation right now, but the same could be said about him as well.
She had caught him and dragged him along with her as a last resort. Once she could not withstand the side effects brought on by her Secret Art reaching a breakthrough, she would surely devour him, and as a result… although he wasn’t quite sure, it would certainly not be good, or else why she have spoken so ominously just now?
Yang Kai vigilantly watched the scene before him.
All of a sudden, the cave was filled with light; looking up, Yang Kai saw the True Qi within Shan Qing Luo’s exquisite body surge forth with such intensity that it created a visible hue. As her True Qi flooded out and mixed with the surrounding air, it seemed to undergo an incredible change and transformed into crystal white threads.
These threads seemed to stretch out infinitely, scattering around Shan Qing Luo and wrapping her in a kind of chrysalis.
As time passed, the number of strands increased and the chrysalis became more and more dense.
Yang Kai was both startled and intrigued.
These strands… they felt similar to a spider’s thread, but also like silk. Each strand displayed incredible flexibility and toughness, while containing an astonishing amount of energy.
After roughly half an hour, Shan Qing Luo had become completely encased by these silk threads. Her flawless visage was no longer visible, while her tender, graceful body had been hidden away.
All that Yang Kai could see now was a white pupa-like shell.
It seems to really be a chrysalis, with Shan Qing Luo’s beautiful figure shrouded inside, an indistinct outline of her graceful physique vaguely visible through it.
A faint aroma slowly spread inside the cave. Inhaling a breath of this fragrance, Yang Kai’s heart suddenly began racing, his blood started boiling, and his breath quickly became ragged.
This intoxicating scent lightly wafting from Shan Qing Luo’s body was akin to the most pure aphrodisiac!
[This is bad!] Yang Kai screamed silently and quickly circulated his True Yang Secret Art in order to stabilize his mind.
The more he resisted, the more difficult it became.
As Yang Kai desperately struggled to maintain his composure, a burst of half stifled erotic moans came from Shan Qing Luo’s direction.
Yang Kai’s eyes instantly glazed over when her sweet voice reached his ears.
The scene around him suddenly changed. The dark cave was gone, and the flickering torch had also disappeared, while the white silk chrysalis which held Shan Qing Luo inside it had vanished without a trace.
His surroundings were now filled with a floral fragrance as flower petals lightly flitted about the room. The entire floor covered in a luxurious bright red carpet.
A burst of giggles suddenly tickled his ears. Looking around he quickly discovered a dozen thinly clad young girls. These girls only had their most precious places covered by sheer silk cloth, which added to their delicate and enticing charm.
As the sound of rhythmic music came from afar, the dozen girls smiled radiantly and invitingly towards Yang Kai, as they sang and danced around him.
These young girls each had their own unique style and appeal, but no matter which one it was they were astoundingly glamorous and alluring, free of worldly filth, some shy, some bold, some flirtatious, some reserved, some elegant…
The young girls danced around Yang Kai, constantly sending him appealing glances, very much like they were desperate to please him. Each of them gently brushed past him, as seductive moans leaked from their full red lips, whispering of their infinite desire.
Of course, as a man, Yang Kai’s breathing skyrocketed!
This amorous and sensual scene before him seemed to be able to dig out the hidden desires buried deep within one’s heart, causing a person to lose their ability to reason and devolve into a beast.
Releasing a deep growl from within his throat, Yang Kai desperately grabbed one of the girls, roaring fiercely as he threw her to the ground.
The girl winced slightly as her brow furrowed. Fighting back the pain from being treated so roughly, she still softly gazed towards Yang Kai, and the seductive moans still gently leaked from her lips. She stretched out her two graceful, dyed pink arms and wrapped them around his neck.
Yang Kai grinned back at her, a look of intense struggle appeared on his face before he resolutely punched her face.
After sending out this strike, the surrounding dozen girls all disappeared.
Yang Kai’s shirt was completely soaked in sweat and a chill gripping his heart.
This beautiful fantasy was an intense test of a person’s willpower, but fortunately for Yang Kai, although he had been affected by it, at the critical moment he had managed to come to his senses.
Though he had managed to break through the illusion, when Yang Kai stood up again and looked around, he discovered that the scene had not changed. The dozen young girls were definitely gone, but further into the hall a thin curtained bed had appeared.
Atop this bed lay an enchanting woman. One of her delicate hands lightly propped up her beautiful face as she let out a flirtatious laugh.
Through the hazy curtain, Yang Kai could vaguely make out her near transparent silk lingerie.
As her enticing giggles came from within the curtain, the woman lying atop the bed gently waved towards Yang Kai. Her sweet whisperings contained an infinite allure, which instantly caused Yang Kai’s consciousness to become foggy once more.
With his eyes glowing red, Yang Kai aggressively walked to the side of the bed and violently flung open the pink curtains.
What greeted his eyes was Shan Qing Luo lying on the fragrant bed. This devilish woman’s heavenly figure was on full display. Her flawless snow white skin, exquisite curves, rounded hips, with a blue silk dress half covering her seductive body, perfectly outlining her sensual figure and caused his blood to nearly boil over.
Laughing flirtatiously, she slowly got up. Her eyes radiated a thousand charms as she tenderly pulled Yang Kai into the bed and slowly pushed him down.
Yang Kai did not resist and allowed her to do as she pleased.
Shan Qing Luo eyes glimmered affectionately as she gently climbed atop Yang Kai’s body and slowly undid his robes. Her cheeks blushed a light pink, like she was lightly intoxicated, seemingly both shy and eager at once.
Shedding her thin silk dress next, Shan Qing Luo let out a light sigh. Her breath become quick as she gently bit her lip and lightly swayed her hips as she ever so slowly lowered them.
As he felt a soft, warm, moist sensation envelop him, Yang Kai’s hazy eyes suddenly trembled.
Involuntarily circulating his Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art, a fierce suction originating in his nether region suddenly came.
Shan Qing Luo who was perched upon him all of a sudden uttered a miserable scream and the illusions around him instantly collapsed.
His eyes shot open, and Yang Kai once again found himself covered in cold sweat, still sitting in his original position, desperately trying to catch his breath.
Looking around, he saw Shan Qing Luo’s white silk chrysalis nearby. Yang Kai was not sure just how much time had passed, but as he circulated his Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art, a huge amount of extremely pure energy originating from that white chrysalis continued to flow into his meridians.
He soon noticed that his dragon was still proudly roaring towards the Heavens.
So Yang Kai took a few breaths and slowly began calming his raging blood.
He had no idea why that illusion had suddenly collapsed, but he was certain that it had something to do with his Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art.
Perhaps because his Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art was a Dual Cultivation Technique, it had somehow been able to restrain Shan Qing Luo’s Seduction Technique, which allowed him to extricate himself from that illusion.
Upon examining his condition once more and discovering that he still could not move, a faint helplessness arose in his heart.
He was not anxious; although Shan Qing Luo seemed like a ruthless and devilish woman, in actual fact, she was quite easy to get along with, and she did not seem to have any murderous intent towards him.
After calming himself in various senses, Yang Kai put aside such concerns for now and focused on wholeheartedly operating his Joyous Unification Art.
Under the influence of his Joyous Unification Art, a continuous stream of pure energy flowed from Shan Qing Luo’s chrysalis and poured into Yang Kai’s meridians and dantian. Gradually, Yang Kai began to feel like he had some subtle yet profound connection with Shan Qing Luo.
As time went on, this feeling kept becoming stronger and stronger.
Then, all of a sudden, a cry rang out.
Yang Kai quickly opened his eyes and saw Shan Qing Luo’s pair of charming eyes staring at him with incredibly shock.
“Huh…” Yang Kai was thoroughly stunned.
“How did you get inside here?” Shan Qing Luo asked, her voice filled with confusion.
“What?” Yang Kai frowned, as he glanced around and discovered that he had somehow at some point come to be sitting opposite Shan Qing Luo, surrounded by a vast wondrous sea.
“Not ‘what’, you’re Divine Sense, it’s inside my Knowledge Sea!” Shan Qing Luo exclaimed, an aghast look fully displayed upon her beautiful face, “How did you break into my Knowledge Sea!?”
“I don’t know.” Yang Kai shook his head, looked down, and quickly discovered that he had no physical body. Instead, it appeared like his Divine Sense had somehow inadvertently broke into Shan Qing Luo’s Knowledge Sea.
Curiously sweeping his gaze over the Sea around him, Yang Kai somehow felt its incredibly surging destructive power, and he involuntarily marveled, “So this is your Knowledge Sea…”
“Get out!” Shan Qing Luo cried out in panic.
A person’s Knowledge Sea contained all of their most deeply hidden thoughts and secrets, once someone had their Knowledge Sea spied upon by another, it was equivalent to laying bear their entire being to them.
It was for this reason that everyone was extremely careful about guarding their Knowledge Sea.
Moreover, if one wanted to break into someone else’s Knowledge Sea it was not a simple task. Without mentioning defensive artifacts that shielded one’s Soul, there were also some special Soul Skills that could prevent others Divine Senses from intruding upon one’s Knowledge Sea.
For a master like Shan Qing Luo, how could she not have a powerful Soul defence artifact, and how could she not have cultivated a defensive type Soul Skill?
Yet despite all this, her Knowledge Sea had still been unknowingly penetrated by Yang Kai’s Divine Sense.
Between her bouts of confusion and shock, seeing Yang Kai still gazing around her Knowledge Sea, Shan Qing Luo couldn’t help screaming, “If you don’t leave right now I’ll make you stay here forever!”
Hearing this threat, Yang Kai finally awoke from his stupor and said, “No, please wait! It’s just that I’ve never seen a Knowledge Sea before, I was just curious.”
Finishing speaking, he quickly made his escape.
Once she was certain that Yang Kai’s Divine Sense had really left, Shan Qing Luo was reluctantly relieved. Just now had been an extremely dangerous crisis, if he had really seen through all of her secrets, it would have been tantamount to her being naked before him, all of her most intimate thoughts exposed to him.
Not only that, if their two Divine Senses had accidentally intersected, the consequences were hard to imagine.
Similar to when two people engaged in intimate contact between them, when two Souls blended together it produced a form of sensual pleasure, but the sensation it produced was thousands of times more potent, once it was experienced, it would instantly become all consuming, never again allowing the two to separate.
Shan Qing Luo was truly afraid that Yang Kai might engage in mischief or become entrenched within her, but fortunately he had simply been curious and had left soon after.
[How did he do it?]
Although Shan Qing Luo’s heart was filled with questions, right now she was in the process of breaking through, so naturally she could not divide her attention any further, suppressing her suspicions for the moment and concentrating on the circulation of her Secret Art.
Yang Kai also continued operating his Joyous Unification Art, prompting a clearly visible stream of energy to continuously flow from the white silk chrysalis into his bit by bit, increasing his strength.
Over time, the chrysalis gradually became smaller, slowly exposing the graceful figure hidden within.
Time flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
Yang Kai slowly opened his eyes and gradually stretched out his somewhat stiff body. A burst of popping sounds suddenly rang out and a seemingly endless pure energy burst forth from within him. His True Qi surged forth, bringing with it a wondrous and invigorating feeling.
True Element Boundary Fourth Stage!
These ten days of meditation along with the massive amount of pure energy he had obtained from Shan Qing Luo’s white silk chrysalis had allowed him in one fell swoop to break through.
Glancing around, Yang Kai saw the devilish woman lazily leaning against the wall directly opposite him. Her pair of beautiful eyes stared back at him with a complex look within them.
Yang Kai immediately jumped up in surprise, and his True Qi involuntarily circulated.
However, Shan Qing Luo simply laughed dryly, “If I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago no matter how many lives you might have had.”
Yang Kai expression cramped up slightly, but thinking of how what she said was true, he relaxed immediately, laughing a bit wryly as he cupped his fists and said, “Thank you Elder Sister for not acting ruthlessly.”
Shan Qing Luo shook her head, “I never really wanted to kill you, capturing you was simply out of necessity.”
Between her words, she let out a hoarse cough, and her complexion became slightly pale.
“What happened to you?” Yang Kai frowned, feeling that this seductive woman now seemed much weaker than before, as if she had been seriously injured.
“Isn’t this all your doing!?” Shan Qing Luo grit her teeth as she glared miserably towards him.
“Me?” Yang Kai pointed to himself, his expression filled with confusion, unable to understand what she meant.
“What did you do to me?”
“I didn’t do anything.” Yang Kai responded somewhat dumbly.
“Then how did you siphon so much energy from me?” Shan Qing Luo ground her teeth in anger.
Yang Kai was stunned, thinking back on everything that had happened since he had been captured, wrinkling his brow as he said, “I fell into an illusion, encountered you, lay down with you, and then as we were together I started operating a certain Secret Art and shattered the illusion…”
Shan Qing Luo instantly blushed as she stared at him meaningfully, “With me?”
“En. You were extremely forward and bold.” Yang Kai nodded as he recalled Shan Qing Luo’s performance on the bed, unable to help to stop his blood from once again boiling up, “What a pity,” Yang Kai sighed, a depressed expression spread across his face.
“You little bastard!” Shan Qing Luo cursed lightly, her face now a bright crimson.
“Were you affected somehow?” Yang Kai frowned and asked.
“What do you think?” Shan Qing Luo’s breath quickened, her chest rose and fell so violently her proud peaks almost broke free from her red dress, “I was right on the cusp of breaking through when all of a sudden all of my energy was drained away by you… haha, would you call that not being affected?”
Yang Kai suddenly felt embarrassed and immediately apologized, “Is that so? I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“If you had, I would have killed you long ago.” Shan Qing Luo looked at him bitterly, “How could I have let you live until now?”
“Then did you manage to break through?” Yang Kai’s eyes flashed.
“No! Not only did I not break through, but I’ve also suffered a severe backlash from my Secret Art. I have no idea how long I’ll have to wait until my next opportunity to break through, and it’s all your fault!”
“How can you pin all the blame on me…” Yang Kai rubbed his nose, but upon hearing that her strength had suffered a massive hit, his demeanor suddenly became much more relaxed. Staring towards her with great meaning as he asked, “What is your current strength…”
“Equal to a True Element Boundary First Stage, are you satisfied now?” Shan Qing Luo snappily replied, a million kinds of anger filling her gaze.
“Haha! Oh really now!” Yang Kai laughed happily, his last trace of caution disappeared, and he completely relaxed his guard.
This seductive woman’s cultivation only being equivalent to a True Element Boundary First Stage meant her current strength was even lower than his own so he no longer had to worry so much about her.
Of course, although her current realm was lower than his, she was still an unparalleled master, so if they were really to fight, it was still uncertain who would ultimately win.
Fortunately, neither of them seemed to have any murderous intent at the moment, so there was no need to be overly tense.
“Haa… I can’t blame this all on you. If I hadn’t taken you captive, I never would have suffered this calamity! I brought this upon myself.” Shan Qing Luo quietly sighed.
Listening to her sincere admission, Yang Kai also felt some guilt and embarrassedly nodded, “Um… how should I say this… thank you for saving me back there.”
“So you do have some conscience you perverted brat.” Shan Qing Luo lightly laughed; it seems that this time’s failure had not caused any major impact to her confidence, her mood was not the slightest bit disturbed.
After chatting for a bit, Yang Kai suddenly stood up and said, “You take a rest, I’ll go find us something to eat.”
“Be careful out there…” Shan Qing Luo softly whispered.
Yang Kai looked back at her with astonishment, unsure of why this flirtatious woman was now suddenly so concerned about him, but he did not ponder long on this and quickly turned around and exited the cave.
After Yang Kai had left, Shan Qing Luo lightly sighed, an awkward expression filled her face as she placed her delicate white hands over her heart. Her face blushed a faint shade of pink, and she quickly asked herself, “This fluttering feeling within me… It couldn’t be…”
Shan Qing Luo had a special constitution which was related to her special cultivation technique. Although outwardly, she appeared flirtatious and seductive, for the rest of her life she would only be able to truly love one man, and she would only be able to truly be with him once.
Before then, the affection she would feel for him would continue to grow within her heart until the time was ripe and all she could think about was him; at that time, she would join herself with him.
And on that night, that man would die! At the same time, her Secret Art would reach the grand accomplishment stage.
Yang Kai’s previously presumptuous behaviour towards her, and more importantly his inadvertently entering into her Knowledge Sea, left behind a ray of his Divine Sense’s aura, which had subconsciously planted an unintended seed in her Soul.
It was a bud of love!
Her family line had an extremely sad and cruel fate, only having a single descendant per generation, and they were always women.
Every generation, these girls would experience this inhumane torture.
Shan Qing Luo had never forgotten her mother’s experience. Ever since she was born, all she could remember was how she had missed her father, the suffering and torment she constantly felt in her heart, and how she had ultimately died an unhappy death.
Because this feeling of love would only grow stronger the more time passed, leading her Secret Art to reach the grand accomplishment stage, Shan Qing Luo would have an intense and unforgettable passion engraved upon her soul.
One night together with her true love before he died at her hands!
What woman could accept this kind of fate?
And now, this ill fate had abruptly befallen her.
Biting her lip, Shan Qing Luo was at a loss, she had been caught completely by surprise and hadn’t had the slightest chance to prepare herself.
Originally, she had wanted to wait a few more years to find a suitable man to fall in love with, and then build a relationship with him. She had never expected to be thrust into this situation so suddenly and unexpectedly.
…
As a crackling sound burst out nearby and the scent of roasted meat wafted past her nose, Shan Qing Luo’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.
Sitting a few meters in front of her was Yang Kai. He had raised a small fire and was carefully barbecuing some freshly caught game.
“You’re quite relaxed!” Yang Kai said with a light chuckled. When he had come back and discovered this young woman had actually fallen asleep, he couldn’t help being surprised.
“Why shouldn’t I relax, or were you planning on eating me too?” Shan Qing Luo smiled teasingly towards Yang Kai.
“Indeed! As long as you don’t mind.”
“I’m afraid you’re luck isn’t that good!” Shan Qing Luo laughed happily.
Soon after, the meat was fully cooked. Yang Kai tore off a piece and brought it over to Shan Qing Luo. Slowly tearing off a piece of the meat and delicately placing it into her mouth, she slowly and elegantly enjoyed her meal.
Yang Kai, on the other hand, quickly stuffed his face with as much meat as he could fit.
“How savage…” Shan Qing Luo muttered as she glared at him.
However, Yang Kai just grinned meaningfully, continuing to scarf down his food while asking, “I’ve been meaning to ask you but, where is this place?”
“Do you not even know where you are?” Shan Qing Luo looked at him suspiciously. “Are you not a disciple of the Holy Land?”
“Holy Land? What is this ‘Holy Land’?” Yang Kai asked in confusion.
When they had first met, Shan Qing Luo had also asked him which Leader he was a disciple of. Now thinking about it, her question probably had some relationship with this Holy Land she spoke of.
Suddenly thinking of something, Yang Kai hastily asked, “Is this not the Great Han Dynasty?”
Shan Qing Luo suddenly burst out into laughter, “Are you really that foolish? Of course this is the Great Han Dynasty!”
Yang Kai let out a sigh, “I really am that confused. I came to this place completely by accident.”
Seeing that he did not seem to be lying to her, Shan Qing Luo seriously answered him, “This is the Grey Cloud Holy Land!”
“Grey Cloud Holy Land? The Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land!” Yang Kai was stunned, turning a shocked expression towards Shan Qing Luo.
“You really aren’t a disciple of the Holy Land!?” Shan Qing Luo’s beautiful face twisted somewhat, as she angrily shouted back, “What do you mean ‘Evil Land’, such an ugly name. What you call the devil’s path we call our way of life! We simply have a different way of thinking than your Great Families yet you see a need to divide the world up into such rigid ideologies, all that’s done is promote more conflict.”
“The Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land… Shan Qing Luo…” Yang Kai’s thoughts raced as she suddenly recalled something. Turning towards the seductive woman before him, his eyes tightly squinted, and he hesitantly asked, “Demon Queen Shan Qing Luo?”
The Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land had one Devil Lord and Six Great Evil Kings.
Thunderbolt Beast King, Tyrannical Force King, Profound Yin Ghost King, Beguiling Demon Queen, Lightning Flash Shadow King, Annihilating Poison King!
Because of the new Devil Lord’s rise and the special relationship he shared with him, Yang Kai had also learned as much as he could about the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land, including the names of the six Great Evil Kings.
And among the six Great Evil Kings, there was only one woman!
No doubt this Beguiling Demon Queen was none other than the Heavenly beauty Shan Qing Luo before him!
No wonder when he heard her name before it had been somewhat familiar.
Seeing Yang Kai so surprised, Shan Qing Luo couldn’t help giggling and leisurely said, “Indeed, it is this Queen! Why, are you frightened now?”
“Oh?” Yang Kai suddenly grinned and indifferently looked down at her, “Why should I be afraid? I was just caught off guard by the fact that the most seductive woman in the world was in front of me.”
Looking Shan Qing Luo up and down completely once more, Yang Kai couldn’t help but be amazed.
There were many rumors about just how enchanting the Beguiling Demon Queen was, and now that he had really met her, it seems that these rumors weren’t unfounded, but she truly was the very definition of seduction.
“Seen enough yet, you little bastard!?” Shan Qing Luo felt his aggressive fiery gaze sweep over every inch of her body and was extremely uncomfortable, so she flicked her wrist and tossed the piece of beast meat in her hand towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai hastily dodged, which caused her ‘attack’ to hit nothing but air, and grinned sheepishly before sitting down again and sunk into deep thought.
Apparently, when the void corridor had collapsed, he had actually been sent to the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land. The distance between here and where Su Yan had been sent was extremely far, it was likely that he would not be able to reunite with her any time soon.
On top of that, since this was the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land, there was no doubt a lot of Devil Path cultivators around. How was he supposed to leave here safely?
It seems he would have to take advantage of his newfound relationship with Shan Qing Luo. Using her identity and status it shouldn’t be difficult for him to leave the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land.
Making up his mind, Yang Kai tore a piece of his barbecue and graciously handed it to the charming woman beside him.
Shan Qing Luo quickly turned her eyes away from his as she lightly muttered, “That thing is covered with your drool… I don’t want to eat it.”
“It’s not like my mouth has been over everything…” Yang Kai muttered, not trying to force her.
Shan Qing Luo’s breath suddenly became quicker, thinking back to when he had forced his lips onto hers, and she ground her teeth so hard they nearly broke.
