Moments later, Yang Kai sensed a faint energy fluctuation and moved towards it, soon arriving in front of a stone wall.Β After pouring his True Qi into this wall, a Void Corridor appeared in front of him and he stopped through, returning to the outside world once more.
Yang Kai arrived in front of the same blue stone entrance to Nine Heavens Holy Landβs Holy Tomb he had entered from.
As soon as he appeared, Yang Kai immediately concealed his aura and quietly probed his surroundings.
He wasnβt sure how long he had stayed inside the Holy Tomb but he knew it wasnβt a short amount of time.Β Since there wasnβt anyone around anymore, obviously Xu Hui and the others had left long ago.
This was the perfect time for him to sneak away.
As long as he left Nine Heavens Holy Land, he would be like a bird returning to the sky, a fish swimming through the sea.Β It would be incredibly hard for Xu Hui and the others to bring him back once more.
However, after carefully examining the situation around him, Yang Kaiβs expression became somewhat strange.
The entire Nine Heavens Holy Land was in a state of confusion.Β It seemed like a big battle had just occurred as traces of destruction could be found all around.Β There were many houses and buildings among the Nine Peaks that had broken walls or collapsed roofs.
Yang Kai also smelled a faint scent of blood in the air and cries of pain reached rang in his ears.
Suddenly, Yang Kai sensed a familiar life aura.Β This person seemed to have noticed his presence causing their aura to fluctuate wildly.
Yang Kai turned his head just in time to see An Lingβer.
This Saintess, a symbol of purity and nobility, currently had a blue cloth wrapped around her head and her white dress was covered in dust and blood, clearly she had just been involved in a fight.
When she saw Yang Kai, a look of joy and disbelief filled An Lingβerβs beautiful face as she stood there dumbfounded.
Before she could open her mouth to speak though, An Lingβer saw Yang Kaiβs figure flicker and in the next moment appear in front of her.Β Her mouth was covered and her movements sealed, causing her to be unable to resist as Yang Kai quickly brought her to relatively secluded pavilion a short distance away.
βIβm letting you go now, donβt shout!β Yang Kai whispered.
A hint of panic flashed across An Lingβerβs pretty eyes before she quickly nodded.
Yang Kai released her and then quickly backed away, lest she misunderstand his actions as an attempt to silence her.
βYou came out?β An Lingβer glanced around nervously before whispering.
Yang Kai gently nodded, βJust now.β
βYou really came out!βΒ An Lingβer breathed out a sigh of relief, a light smile appearing on her face.Β She had been worried about Yang Kai this entire time so seeing him now, safe and sound, it was like a large stone had been lifted off her heart, causing her to relax.
Yang Kai being forced into the Holy Tomb was something An Lingβer always felt she carried a large responsibility for.Β During this time, she had always been blaming herself to the point where it had affected her health.
Now though she could finally feel at ease.
βItβs good that youβve come out!β An Lingβer gently patted her chest, βSince youβve come out, you should quickly leave before Great Elder or any of the others find you.β
Yang Kaiβs eyes flashed as he stared towards An Lingβer and asked, βAre you willing to let me just leave?β
βEn,β An Lingβer revealed a forced smile, βI know you donβt want to be here, trying to force you to stay would only make you hate me.Β Since thatβs the case, I might as well just let you go.β
Yang Kai expression softened and a hint of gratitude appeared on his face.
βWhat are you staring at me like that for?Β If youβre discovered you wonβt be able to get away!β An Lingβer frowned.
βI was just thinking you look much more attractive now!βΒ Yang Kai flattered shamelessly.
An Lingβerβs face blushed bright red as she angrily spat, βDonβt try to sweet talk me now, Iβve known youβre not a good thing since long ago.Β Donβt think you can win my favour after all this time.β
Yang Kai laughed dumbly before putting on a serious face and cupping his fists said, βThis is goodbye then, I hope thereβs a chance for us to meet in the future.β
βEn, go quickly.Β Head south, Great Elder and the others are currently north of this place,β An Lingβer urged.
Yang Kai nodded lightly, quickly found his bearings and then quietly flew off towards the south.
Shortly after Yang Kaiβs departure, a figure emerged from the shadows and walked towards An Lingβer.
βAh, Elder Yu Ying!β An Lingβer was startled and called out unconsciously.
Yu Ying stared in the direction Yang Kai disappeared for a while before letting out a sigh and faintly asking, βAre you really willing to just let him go like that?β
βYou saw?βΒ An Lingβerβs expression became somewhat awkward.Β She didnβt know when Yu Ying had arrived behind her but from the latterβs tone of voice it obvious she had seen and heard everything just now.
βI only saw him hurriedly leave, without any hesitation.β
βThereβs nothing here that would cause him to hesitate,β An Lingβer said with a forced smile.
βWhat about you?Β You exhausted yourself worrying about him, spent so much time together with him, shared so many hardships together with him, even admired and respected him. Arenβt the two of you at least more than friends?βΒ Yu Ying looked faintly towards An Lingβer.
An Lingβer shook her head gently, βWhile he is certainly somewhat hateful, I donβt think Iβm worthy to be joined together with him.Β Moreover, I truly donβt think of him in that way, just being friends with him is probably for the best. En, undeniably, following beside him I felt a deep sense of security, making me mistakenly feel like I was the younger one, and I would always be protected by himβ¦ but with the current position the Holy Land is in, I donβt think itβs right to implicate him.Β Elder Yu Ying, can you not mention this to Great Elder? We might as well just say he died here.β
Yu Yingβs brow furrowed deeply, seemingly weighing the decision.
An Lingβer quickly hugged Yu Yingβs arm, acting the part of a spoiled child.
Faced with this combination of soft and hard sell tactics, Yu Ying could only smile bitterly and rub her forehead, βAlright, alrightβ¦ Nothing happened here and I didnβt see anythingβ¦ I wonβt say a word about this to anyone.Β Lingβer, youβve exhausted yourself these past few days, you should quickly go back and have a rest. We Elders will take care of the problems outside, you donβt need to worry about them. All the Holy Landβs hopes now can only be pinned on you.Β You must diligently cultivate the Saintessβ Secret Arts for now. If the Holy Land can survive this crisis, it will be up to you to train a new generation of Saintesses.β
Seeing Yu Ying agree to her request, An Lingβer immediately became joyful.
However, when the two of them remembered the Holy Landβs precarious situation, their eyes noticeably dimmed.Β Whether the Holy Land could survive the current catastrophe or what the future held, neither of them could say.
Perhaps, within a short time, everyone here would die.Β If not for this cruel realty, it would have been impossible for Yu Ying to so easily agree to An Lingβerβs request.
βElder Yu Ying is apparently quite amenable,β A light voice suddenly reverberated throughout the pavilion, making it impossible to determine exactly where the person speaking actually was.
Yu Yingβs beautiful face paled as she quickly condensed her True Qi, shouting aggressively, βWho goes there!β
As soon as these words left Yu Yingβs lips, a figure emerged a few steps away from her, a somewhat teasing smile upon his face.
βFlickering Heavenly Shadow?β An Lingβer cried out, immediately recognizing this Nine Heavens Divine Skill. Β This was a very profound movement skill that was equally useful for concealing oneβs presence or escaping from an enemy.
Recovering from her shock, An Lingβer stared at Yang Kai who had suddenly returned and couldnβt help asking, βWhy didnβt you leave?β
Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders before seemingly unintentionally shooting a glance towards Yu Ying.
When he had left just now, he noticed that this woman was hiding behind An Lingβer, so in order to insure news of his re-appearance was not leaked, he had concealed himself in order to monitor these two.Β By doing so though, he had overheard the conversation between the two women and suddenly felt that simply disappearing on his own would leave a sour taste in his mouth.
βHow did you deceive my Divine Sense?Β I clearly noticed that you had already traveled far away, just when did you come back?βΒ Yu Ying stared at Yang Kai, a look of incredible disbelief spread across her face.
She was a genuine First Order Saint, but Yang Kai was still able to silently approach this close to her without her noticing.Β That meant that if Yang Kai had harboured any hostile intent towards her, it was quite possible she would be a corpse right now.
Immediately realizing this, Yu Yingβs tender body shivered as a cold sweat dripped down her back, suddenly discovering that this future Holy Master was somewhat beyond her ability to understand or control.
βNo need to be so nervous, itβs not like Iβm going to eat you,β Yang Kai grinned, intentionally not answering Yu Yingβs question, his expression then quickly becoming serious as he asked, βOn the other hand, Iβm somewhat curious about what you two were just discussing. What exactly happened to your Nine Heavens Holy Land while I was gone?β
An Lingβer opened her mouth to explain but before she could get a single word out, Yu Ying quickly cut her off, βDoes that have anything to do with you?Β Since youβre unwilling to inherit the position of Holy Master, is there any point in asking about that?β
Yang Kai knit his brow and felt somewhat confused.
The last time he had seen her, this beautiful woman had spoken and acted very respectfully towards him, yet this time it was as if she had encountered an enemy and was harshly rejecting him.
Yang Kai had no intention of haggling over the issue with her though so he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded, βIf you donβt want to say thatβs fine too, I donβt have a habit of prying into other peopleβs business.Β Farewell.β
Saying so, he really turned around to leave.
βWait!β Yu Ying suddenly called out again.
βWhat now?β Yang Kai shot an impatient look towards her.
Yu Yingβs expression became a complicated mix of embarrassment and reluctance, only speaking again after a long silence, βDonβt rush off, Iβll explain everything to you.β
βSorry, I donβt want to know anymore. The more I know, the more trouble it will be!β
βYouβ¦β Yu Ying gawked at him, her face turning from green to red to blue as she grumbled, βHow can you like this?β
This boy was acting completely like a delinquent, without the slightest majesty or nobility a Holy Master should have.Β Didnβt he enter the Holy Tomb? How come his attitude was still so defiant?
In the past, everyone who had passed the Holy Tombβs test and re-emerged had treated the Holy Land as their home.
Yu Ying simply couldnβt understand.
Seeing this beautiful woman at a loss, Yu Kaiβs mood suddenly became excellent, sitting down on a nearby stool in the corner pavilion before turning to An Lingβer, βYou tell me.β
An Lingβer snuck a glimpse towards Elder Yu Ying only to see her glaring towards Yang Kai viciously, as if she couldnβt wait to peel his skin, eat his flesh, and drink his blood.Β Understanding what Elder Yu Ying was feeling all too well as she had experienced similar incidents many times in the past when it came to Yang Kai, An Lingβer did her best to stifle her laughter for a while before pursing her lips and saying, βWhy do you want to know about this?Β Once you know, it will only bring you trouble.β
βFrom what you two discussing just now, the situation is quite serious, of course Iβd want to know.Β Besides, you just said weβre friendsβ¦ I donβt have many friends,β Yang Kai suddenly said solemnly.
An Lingβerβs expression changed greatly upon hearing these words, a meaningful smile soon appearing on her face as she said, βThat Gou Che will definitely regret not treating you sincerely in the future!β
βEn, he will,β Yang Kai grinned, his face filled with confidence.
