βI happened to pass by during the incident and unexpectedly witnessed everything. At that time, I was only a Third-Order Origin King, so I could only watch the battle from afar,β Yang Kai said.
βWhat? You were only a Third-Order Origin King at the time?β Gao Shan and Liu Shui were taken aback by what they had just heard and they couldnβt help but shout in alarm, as if they had just realized something incredulous.
If what Yang Kai had said was true and he was only a Third-Order Origin King two years ago, then he would have broken through two Minor Realms, even crossing a Great Realm, to arrive at his current Second-Order Dao Source Realm cultivation in that short span of time. This rate of advancement was too terrifying!
If he continued advancing at the same pace, then wouldnβt he be a Third-Order Dao Source Realm Cultivator next year, then an Emperor Realm Master the year after that?
It wasnβt so easy for a Dao Source Realm Cultivator to break through to the Emperor Realm. But, if Yang Kai was given twenty years, then he would be able to achieve it, would he not? Moreover, Gao Shan and Liu Shui had heard that Yang Kai consumed an Extraordinary Treasure Pill in the Four Seasons Realm, so he had a higher chance to reach the Emperor Realm than an average person.
They had spent most of their lives in cultivation, yet they still couldnβt even touch upon the Emperor Realm, while a young boy had a great chance to reach it. Upon thinking of this, they both felt quite upset and complex in their hearts.
βThat is whyβ¦β Yang Kai spread his arms, βThe death of Ning Yuan Cheng has nothing to do with me.β
Ning Yuan Shu furrowed his brow, not sure whether he should trust Yang Kai. He fell silent for a moment before asking, βWhat about my brotherβs possessions? I heard that you once used our Flying Saint Palaceβs flying ship artifact. Where is that artifact and where is the Fire Attribute Artifact Spirit that was bought by my brother at the auction?β
βYoung Palace Master, I canβt understand what youβre saying,β Yang Kai looked at Ning Yuan Shu curiously.
βStop playing dumb!β Ning Yuan Shu flew into a rage, βMy brother has already died, and his possessions belong to our Flying Saint Palace, I have the right to retrieve them.β
Yang Kai scratched his face and said, βDo you have to insist? Your Flying Saint Palace is a great force, so one or two flying artifacts should be nothing in your eyes.β
βSince itβs nothing, then give it back to me,β Ning Yuan Shu shouted.
βHaβ¦β Yang Kai sighed and said, βFine, I have to tell you that your ship artifact has already beenβ¦ destroyed.β
βDestroyβ¦ Destroyed?β Ning Yuan Shuβs eyes widened up and he said in surprise, βThatβs impossible, that was a Dao Source Grade Artifact, and it is able to withstand the attacks of all cultivators below the Emperor Realm. It couldnβt be destroyed so easily! Even my Flying Saint Palace only has a few ships at such a high grade.β
Yang Kai said solemnly, βIt has been destroyed by an Emperor Realm Master.β
The Ship Artifact had really been destroyed, and it was destroyed with a single strike from Aunt Feng who had taken Mo Xiao Qi away. Aunt Feng was a Third-Order Emperor Realm Master, so it had been easy for her to destroy the ship. As compensation, she did give Yang Kai a Wooden Boat Artifact though. The boat wasnβt as large as the ship, but it was simple, light and more convenient.
Upon hearing this, the corners of Ning Yuan Shuβs mouth twitched, βWho did you provoke?β
Gao Shao said in surprise, βYou angered an Emperor Realm Master and are still alive?β
The members of Flying Saint Palace looked at Yang Kai in surprise.
βI didnβt really exchange blows with her,β Yang Kaiβs face flushed, βI was hit suddenly by her, but fortunately that Senior didnβt seem interested in my life,β as he spoke, he added. βBesides, after Ning Yuan Chengβs death, that ship became ownerless and naturally should belong to whoever picked it up. Since I found it, itβs mine, why grumble about it now?β
βFine, Iβll grant you that!β Ning Yuan Shu shouted, βThe ship has been destroyed, but whatβs about the Fire Attribute Artifact Spirit? Itβs said that the Artifact Spirit had already gained a high degree of sentience.β
Yang Kai sneered and said, βDidnβt you answer that question yourself? The Artifact Spirit already gained sentience, so it escaped the first chance it got.β
βEscaped?β
βDidnβt you just see a powerful Artifact Spirit that had gained sentience?β Yang Kai sneered, referring to the Artifact Spirit of the Demonic War Hammer.
Upon hearing this, Ning Yuan Shuβs expression turned aghast as he obviously recalled the violent encounter just now.
βThen doesnβt this meanβ¦ there is nothing left?β Gao Shan furrowed his brows.
βWhat else would be left? Didnβt I already explain everything to you?β Yang Kai chuckled, βAs for the other Master who came from Flying Saint Palace, Fu Si Tongβ¦ That man was indeed quite strong, so even if I say that I killed him, you wouldnβt believe me.β
βThatβs a matter of course, you wouldnβt be able to do so,β Ning Yuan Shu sneered and mocked. βCity Lord Duan already said that Elder Fu died after he was corrupted by the Ancient Demon Qi.β
βThatβs right,β Yang Kai clapped and said with a smile. βThen we have already resolved our misunderstanding, so donβt keep bothering me in the future or accusing me of murdering a member of the Flying Saint Palace. Young Palace Master, you seem like a reasonable fellow, so let us retain a good relationship between us so we can still be friends when we next meet.β
Upon hearing the word βfriendsβ, Ning Yuan Shu couldnβt help but gaze around in fear that the Demonic War Hammer would suddenly appear.
βYou donβt have the final say in this,β Gao Shan shook his head slowly.
βThen, itβs you who has the final say?β Yang Kaiβs expression turned cold.
βNo,β Liu Shan replied.
βThen who has the final say?β Yang Kaiβs expression had already turned gloomy.
Gao Shan said, βIf youβre not guilty, then why donβt you take a trip with us to Flying Saint Palace and explain everything to the Palace Master. It will be up to him to make the final judgment.β
βThatβs right,β Liu Shan nodded and said, βYou must come back with us to the Sect.β
Upon hearing this, Yang Kai laughed in response and looked meaningfully at Gao Shan, saying, βProtectors, it looks like you have misunderstood something.β
βWhat?β
βI provided you with an explanation not because Iβm afraid of you, but rather because I donβt want to incur trouble for no reason. Itβs up to you whether you want to believe me or not; however, if you keep bothering me for no reason, thenβ¦ heh,β Yang Kai still wore a smile across his face, but his gaze had already turned cold.
Gao Shan and Liu Shan suddenly shivered for no reason and their pupils couldnβt help but contract, feeling like great danger was looming over them!
As they mulled this over, they suddenly recalled that Yang Kai had a good relationship with Elder Gao Xue Ting, and she had even told him to visit her room tonight in front of so many people. They didnβt dare to make a move against Yang Kai due to this. If they incurred Gao Xue Tingβs wrath, then they would all lose their lives.
Even if the Palace Master arrived personally, he still wouldnβt dare to make a move against Yang Kai unless he planned to kidnap him stealthily.
After Gao Shan and Liu Shi came to this conclusion, they realized that this affair was more thorny than they thought.
Gao Shan said, βYoung Master Yang, if you donβt want to go with us to the Sect, that is fine, but you have to write a letter for us to take back to the Palace Master. If we donβt do at least that much, then the Palace Master may accuse us of neglecting our duties. We would have wasted time in Maplewood City without accomplishing anything.β
βThatβs none of my business,β Yang Kai snorted coldly.
βPlease, Young Master Yang, letβs have a proper discussion about this,β Gao Shan entreated shamelessly.
βGetβ¦ lost!β As Yang Kai spoke, he placed the Myriads Sword in front of him and said viciously, βIβll repeat it for the last time. If you keep bothering me so stubbornly, then donβt blame me for taking your lives.β
As his voice fell, he pushed his Source Qi wildly while also sending out his Divine Sense to envelop Gao Shan and Liu Shui.
The expressions of Gao Shan and Liu Shan turned aghast as they suddenly felt the silhouette of this young man before them turn large and lofty. His aura wasnβt any different than a mountain weighing on their chests and they almost couldnβt breathe properly.
It was only at this moment that they suddenly realized that Yang Kaiβs power was likelyβ¦ No less than Luo Yuanβs.
This short moment felt like years, and by the time the two old men came back to their senses, Yang Kai had already disappeared. They both couldnβt help but exchange a glance and they could clearly see the shock in each otherβs eyes.
βThat manβ¦ we mustnβt provoke him againβ¦β Gao Shan said in a deep voice with his fright still apparent on his face. His instincts told him clearly that if he provoked Yang Kai again, then he would likely lose his life.
βYouβre right!β Liu Shan wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and nodded.
βThen, did I get beaten by him for nothing?β Ning Yuan Shu pointed at his cheeks with an aggrieved look and said, βHe insulted and shamed me, and heβ¦ killed Zhuang Pan. Does our Flying Saint Palace have to bear this in silence? If we do so, I wonβt have the face to stay in the Southern Territory!β
Gao Shan cast a glance at him then sighed, βZhuang Pan is a despicable coward whose death isnβt worth pitying. As for you, just take it as a mosquitoβs bite.β
Upon hearing this, the corners of Ning Yuan Shuβs mouth twitched. The two old men had already expressed their standpoints, and he couldnβt take revenge by himself even if he wanted to, so he could only bear this in silence.

Inside the Qin Family Residence.
Yang Kai, Qin Zhao Yang, and their companions had already arrived back home.
Yang Kai had no place to go back to in Maplewood City. In the past, he still had a rented secluded home, but once his rent expired, he didnβt bother renewing it. Fortunately, the Qin Family didnβt treat him as a stranger and offered him accommodations.
The members of Eight Paths Sect had also returned, and they had all gone back to their courtyard under the lead of Luo Yuan and the round-faced woman.
But, Yang Kai noticed that Luo Yuan was now gazing at him with a dangerous glint in his eyes. He probably wanted to have a fight against him and he almost got a headache thinking about this.
βLittle Brother Yang, I have asked the servants to prepare this courtyard specifically for you, it is one of my Qin Familyβs best. You can rest here,β Qin Zhao Yang brought him into a courtyard and spoke.
βPatriarch Qin, thank you for your trouble,β Yang Kai said.
βYouβre welcome, if you need anything, just call the servants and ask them,β Qin Zhao Yang laughed and said, βEn, I wonβt stay here and disturb your rest. I need to go back and check on Yuβerβs condition.β
βEn.β
After Qin Zhao Yang left, Yang Kai walked into the courtyard with Zhang Ruo Xi and observed it. This courtyard wasnβt big, but it was peaceful, refined, and clean. It also had abundant World Energy which made Yang Kai satisfied.
After he observed the courtyard for a while, he asked Zhang Ruo Xi to take a room for herself before he turned his head to look at Ye Jing Han, who had followed him in silence like a shadow the whole time. He couldnβt help letting out a long sigh upon gazing at her.
Seeing this, Ye Jing Han bit her rosy lips and revealed a faint smile.
βStop it, donβt smile like that! Itβs uglier than if you just cried instead,β Yang Kai said with an annoyed look on his face.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jing Hanβs body shivered as she turned deathly pale, her eyes becoming slightly red.
