Chapter 661, It Would be Your Honour
In front of Yang Kai who had activated his Demon supreme-ruler Transformation, the beautiful mature woman who led the Ancient Demon Clan also couldnβt summon the slightest bit of her strength, but she still maintained her calm appearance.
βIβm not an outsider?β Β Yang Kai pointed to himself with a blank expression.
Li Rong gently nodded, βAs for the specific reason, please allow me to explain it to you later. This is not a place to talk.β
Yang Kai swept his eyes around and nodded, the erupting volcano and the thunder and lightning shooting across the sky seemed to be growing more and more intense. Soon, it would begin to negatively affect Li Rong and the other Ancient Demon Clan masters even at this distance.
βYouβre a perceptive person, so you should know by now that I have never had any malice against you since the first time we met,β Li Rong said gently, βNow, could you please lift your Demon supreme-ruler Transformation so we can leave this place?β
Saying so, she stared at him expectantly with her beautiful limpid eyes.
Behind Li Rong, the other Ancient Demon Clan members also looked towards Yang Kai, waiting for his reply.
It wasnβt an exaggeration to say that their lives were currently completely in Yang Kaiβs hands, as long as he wished for it, they would all die.
Deeply staring at the beautiful woman in front of him, Yang Kai thought for a moment before nodding, βI believe you.β
Li Rong let out a sigh of relief and her expression relaxed, smiling light as she said, βYouβll be glad you made such a wise decision.β
Yang Kai showed neither approval nor disapproval to this statement but still restrained his surging evil power. Β The Demon Crests that covered his body also quickly faded and the potent Demonic Qi quickly receded.
All the Ancient Demon Clan masters regained control of their strength and bodies at that moment.
βHua Mo, protect him. Letβs go!β Β Li Rong softly order, her tender body flickering and arriving next to the unconscious Han Fei, gently picking her up before turning and shouting towards Chen Jianβs surviving subordinates, βChu Jian is dead, if you still wish to remain loyal to him, I wonβt stop you, but if you choose this path, there will be no place for you in this Mysterious Small World in the future. Β If you choose to follow me instead, as long as sincerely pledge your loyalty to Demon supreme-ruler Citadel, I will not hold you responsible for what has happened here.β
Chu Jianβs henchmen all glanced around at each other briefly before quickly falling to the ground and shouting in unison, βWe are willing to obey Senior Liβs commands!β
Chu Jian was already dead. There was no benefit to remaining loyal to him, right now their first priority was to stay alive.
Li Rong nodded with satisfaction before quickly flying off with Han Fei.
A large group of people quickly evacuated from the volcanic region.
Hua Mo had a complex look upon his face mixed with a bit of nervous panic as he stuck close to Yang Kai in order to protect him.
After half an hour, the group of masters had traveled a fair distance from the volcano.
Looking back, the sky behind them had turned a brilliant red and orange colour. Β The aftermath of the volcanic eruption was still apparent even this far away, the ground beneath them even trembling lightly.
Everyone couldnβt help feeling some lingering fear in their hearts.
After taking a moment to stabilize Han Feiβs injuries, the group set off towards Demon supreme-ruler Citadel.
Yang Kai remained vigilant the whole way and quickly noticed that every member of the Ancient Demon clan was unconsciously staying away from him, as if they were very fearful of him. Β Only Li Rong continued smiling the whole time, seemingly very happy. While she held Han Fei close, she would occasionally whisper to Yang Kai about various trivial topics.
Most of what she talked about were the incredible feats Great Demon supreme-ruler had accomplished that were recorded in her clanβs ancient book, some of these tales were things even Hua Mo and her clansmen hadnβt heard before.
Everyone listened to these stories with great enthusiasm.
One day later, Han Fei woke up, and although her injuries had not healed yet, they didnβt cause her any significant difficulties.
She was in a coma when Yang Kai had used his Demon supreme-ruler Transformation, so she wasnβt aware of what had happened afterwards, but now seeing Li Rong holding her, she naturally assumed that Li Rong had dealt with Chu Jian and didnβt bother asking much.
Two days later, everyone returned to Demon supreme-ruler Citadel.
Yang Kai returned to his stone room and waited for Li Rong to arrive and finally tell him what was going on.
There were a great many things he didnβt understand so he was quite anxious for Li Rong to dispel his doubts, but she had said that that the volcano was not the place for such a discussion and had promised to explain everything later.
Demon supreme-ruler Citadel was still in a state of tranquility, apparently the news that one of the four Great Commanders had fallen had not been made public yet.
Overall, Yang Kai was quite satisfied with the results of this trip, the amount of Yang Liquid he had accumulated in his dantian was quite significant and as long as he didnβt waste it, he estimated he wouldnβt have to worry about having enough for around ten years or so.
On top of that, he had harvested the unimaginable amount of Crystal Stones which was an incredible amount of wealth.
However, what made Yang Kai happiest was that he now knew his Devil Transformation, which was referred to as Demon supreme-ruler Transformation by the Ancient Demon Clan, can be used to suppress them.
He had been here for more than a year now and during this time Li Rong had been quite good to him, neither imprisoning him nor restricting his freedom, allowing him to relax and pursue his studies of the Alchemic Way, and even sending a Third Order Transcendent master to secretly protect him.
However, Yang Kai always felt like he was under a kind of house arrest which made him quite uncomfortable.
But that feeling had disappeared as Yang Kai now had confidence to stand on equal footing with the Ancient Demon Clan and even restrain them in certain circumstances.
With this change in perspective, Yang Kai managed to finally relax somewhat.
Over the next few days, everything was tranquil. Β Li Rong had not appeared yet, but Yang Kai wasnβt in a hurry. He knew that with Chu Jianβs death, Li Rong must have a lot to deal with, so he simply continued studying Alchemy quietly while he waited.
The door of the stone room was suddenly pushed open and Guanβer rushed in with an excited look upon her face. Β Arriving in front of Yang Kai, her pair of beautiful eyes filled with wonderment as she hurriedly asked, βYang Kai, I heard that you killed Chu Jian, is that true?β
βWho told you that?β
βSenior Li told me, is it true?β
βWhat do you think?β Yang Kai chuckled.
βWhat do I think?β Guanβer blinked before letting out a snort, βWith only your insignificant strength, itβs impossible for you to have accomplished that, but since Senior Li said so, itβs definitely the truth,β Β Saying so, she suddenly hugged Yang Kaiβs arm and shook it like a spoiled child, βCome on, tell me, how did you manage to kill the bastard? Even Senior Li had always had a big headache about how to deal with him.β
As Guanβer swung back and forth, Yang Kai clearly felt a couple of amazingly soft yet elastic mounds press against his arm.
Noticing Yang Kaiβs vision unconsciously being drawn downwards to where they were connected, Guanβer suddenly became alert, leaping backwards as she used her arms to cover her chest, grinding her teeth, βYou hoodlum, what are you looking at.β
Yang Kaiβs face went black, βWhy are you asking a question you know the answer to already?β
Guanβer snorted, βYou humans are really not good things! Β Iβm going to tell Senior Li that you are trying to harass me!β
βDonβt try to slander me!β Yang Kai shot back angrily.
Guanβerβs eyes narrowed slightly as a cunning smile appeared on her face, βThen tell me honestly how you killed Chu Jian, Iβm quite curious.β
βCanβt you just ask Senior Li yourself?β Yang Kai felt a slight headache.
βSenior Li has been taking care of Great Commander Han Fei these past few days and has also been dealing with the members of our clan that were close to Chu Jian. Β Sheβs very busy, how can I bother her with such trivial things?β Guanβer pouted, her red lips puckering attractively.
βIβm also quite busy,β Yang Kai sternly replied.
βHow are you busy?β Guanβer swept her eyes over his lazy figure before shouting, βGood, then Iβll just go find Senior Li now and tell her that youβre a rogue who was blinded by my beauty and tried to force yourself onto me!β
βGuanβer, you mustnβt be rude!β Β From the void, a light scolding voice rang out.
The air distorted and Li Rong, Han Fei, and Hua Mo appeared on the scene.
Guanβerβs expression became slightly awkward as she quickly waved her hands, βSenior Li, I was just joking with him, he didnβt really do anything to me.β
Knowing her little argument with Yang Kai was heard by Li Rong, Guanβer was apparently worried that she would believe her and really punish Yang Kai.
βI know,β Li Rong gently nodded, βBut donβt say he didnβt do anything to you, even if he really did do something, it would be your honour!β
(Silavin: Wow. Just Wow.)
Guanβerβs jaw couldnβt help dropping as she carefully digested the words her respected Senior Li had just said, becoming completely dumbstruck in the process.
Although officially she was just an ordinary clansman, she had always been together with Li Rong, so her status in Demon supreme-ruler Citadel was not low. Β Plus, Guanβer was quite beautiful and her aptitude was good, thus many young men in the citadel had intentions towards her, similar to Pan Lang who was thrashed by Yang Kai a while ago.
However, no matter how those people begged, Li Rong never showed the meaning of betrothing Guanβer to them, because Li Rong felt that none of those young men were worthy of Guanβer. Β Li Rong had always said that she would find a suitable candidate for Guanβer to marry or wait for the one in question to find someone she was interested in herself.
But now, Li Rong had actually said such words, how could Guanβer not be shocked?
How was being together with this human possible a good thing?
βSorry Iβve made you wait a few days, I really couldnβt get away,β Li Rong nodded to Yang Kai gently.
βNo problem, it gave me a chance to relax anyways,β Yang Kai laughed.
Guanβerβs brow wrinkled slightly as she noticed that Senior Li had a different attitude towards this human this time. Β She couldnβt tell why, but Guanβer now felt like Senior Li was actually somewhat cautious and respectful when she was addressing him.
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Guanβer couldnβt help feeling a bit scared.
Not only her, Han Fei and Hua Mo also didnβt understand and thus had suspicions of their own.
Even if this human boy was able to use the Demon supreme-ruler Transformation and restrain their Ancient Demon Clan, was that really reason enough to act respectfully towards him? Β Them not executing him for stealing their Demon supreme-ruler Transformation was already showing him great benevolence.
βHan Fei, Hua Mo, I know that you have doubts in your hearts, just like Sir has.β
βSir?β Β Besides Li Rong, everyone else inside the stone room gasped in unison and stared towards Yang Kai.
βDonβt look at me, Iβm just as confused as you are,β Yang Kai said.
βIβll explain everything now,β Li Rong smiled, βPlease sit down.β
Saying so, she sat in front of Yang Kai.
Han Fei and Hua Mo glanced at one another and saw each otherβs helplessness, but in the end they decided to trust Li Rong and also sat down beside her.
Li Rong looked at Yang Kai gently for a moment before lightly saying, βPlease lower your Soulβs defences, we need to enter your Knowledge Sea.β
Yang Kaiβs eyes narrowed upon hearing this request, βEnter my Knowledge Sea?β
βYes, only there can I explain everything clearly and allow Han Fei and Hua Mo to believe what I say.β
βYouβre not afraid?β Yang Kai stared towards Li Rong meaningfully.
Li Rong slowly shook her head, βAs long as we have no malicious intent towards you, it wonβt hurt us. Wasnβt that also the case last time?β
Han Fei and Hua Mo both wore confused looks upon their faces, neither of them understanding what Yang Kai and Li Rong were talking about.
Yang Kaiβs brow furrowed as he hesitated for a moment before nodding, βFine, Iβll allow you to enter my Knowledge Sea, but donβt try to look through my memories, if any of you dares do so, donβt blame me for being impolite.β
