After learning of the death of the three men sent out, Xue Yue said nothing and instead just stood up and walked towards her room.
“Lady Xue’er!” Ha Li Ka stepped forward and called out.
Xue Yue paused and looked back at him coldly.
Ha Li Ka couldn’t help feeling a sense of panic when those beautiful star-like eyes fixed on him, gulping to himself quietly.
He couldn’t understand why, but he felt as if it was Xue Yue Third Young Master staring at him in that moment.
Ha Li Ka, as the President of the Rainfall Star branch, had naturally met Xue Yue Third Young Master and experienced his ruthless methods. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say he was quite familiar with this look; it was clearly the one Xue Yue Third Young Master wore when he was displeased.
He couldn’t understand why two completely different people who were even of different genders had the exact same eyes, but pushing down his fear, Ha Li Ka quickly said, “Lady Xue’er, were Hei Ying and his team killed by Little Brother Yang?”
“Yes!” Xue Yue nodded slightly.
Ha Li Ka, Lin Mu Feng, and the middle-aged woman all paled.
“How could that be? Little Brother Yang is only a Third Order Saint. Even if he is capable of fighting above his realm, dealing with one person should be his limit, how could he defeat three stronger opponents all at once?” Lin Mu Feng shook his head repeated, seemingly unable to believe Xue Yue’s words.
That was three Saint Kings, not three Saints, such a result was simply impossible.
“Then how do you think they died?” Xue Yue turned to look Lin Mu Feng lightly, the latter immediately not knowing how to respond.
Ha Li Ka instead, after watching the situation carefully, asked hesitantly, “Lady Xue’er, why is it that after hearing that Hei Ying and his team died you seem happy?”
“Do I?” Xue Yue asked faintly.
Ha Li Ka shook his head and didn’t dwell on the issue. Hei Ying and his team dying were because their strength wasn’t high enough, so there was nothing to complain about. After thinking about it for a moment, Ha Li Ka asked, “Lady Xue’er, that Yang Kai was your guard, but he has now killed three members of my branch. How should I process this matter?”
“What else is there to do? He’s not my guard anymore, en, if you see him later, capture him alive for me, I want him to taste the most exquisite torture this world has to offer!” Xue Yue commanded, her voice seemingly filled with the coldest malice from the depths of purgatory. Finished with what she had to say, she waved her hand and slowly walked off.
The three executives left in the hall all stared at each other in blank dismay.
“Lady Xue’er seems to have put down something which was burdening her,” The middle-aged woman spoke thoughtfully.
“I don’t quite understand, how did those two go from being perfectly fine together a few days ago to bitter enemies in the blink of an eye?” Ha Li Ka was confused.
“The matters of youth… En, never mind, we shouldn’t get involved, since Lady Xue’er has made her stance clear, we can only follow her will. It’s a pity, that boy has such terrifying strength, if we had been able to understand that earlier, we might have been able to keep him here to cultivate.”
Ha Li Ka nodded a few times, also feeling it was a shame. A Third Order Saint Realm cultivator being able to kill three Saint Kings, such aptitude and strength was incredibly rare even taking the entire Star Field into consideration.
However, if they were to meet again the future now, the three of them could only follow Lady Xue’er’s instructions to capture him alive.
…..
Amidst the endless expanse of the Starry Sky, the only light came from the distant twinkling stars.
Yang Kai had been wandering through the Star Field now for six months.
Since leaving Rainfall Star, he had been heading towards another Cultivation Star. The massive Star Chart above his Knowledge Sea provided him with many conveniences, and at minimum, he knew where his goal was and that he wouldn’t get lost in the Starry Sky.
For others, it was likely that after six months flying through the Starry Sky aboard a Star Shuttle they would be hopelessly lost.
But Yang Kai, who had the massive Star Chart at his disposal, didn’t need to worry about that.
The distance between one Cultivation Star and another varied greatly. Some were close together and could be travelled between by Star Shuttle in less than a month or two while others were extremely remote and even by Starship, the journey could take years.
Yang Kai’s destination was relatively far away, and although he had been travelling for six months already, according to his estimations, it would still be another three months before he arrived.
This was the sorrow of poverty, if one was unable to purchase a Starship and a crew to operate it, they had no choice but to rely on Star Shuttles to traverse the Starry Sky, an act that consumed a massive amount of time.
Fortunately, Yang Kai had found ways to not waste this time.
The Heavenly Spirit Ghost Orchid was helping Yang Kai draw in the surrounding World Energy at all times, but as there was very little World Energy in the Starry Sky so it couldn’t play much of a role.
Yang Kai had been depending on High-Rank Saint Crystals during this time to restore himself and cultivate.
While cultivating, Yang Kai busied himself by studying the Alchemy books he had received from Old Zong, familiarizing himself with the medicinal effects and cultivation environments of various spirit grasses and spirit medicines. Yang Kai also studied Zong Ao’s research material on Spirit Arrays and Alchemy techniques.
After committing this knowledge to memory, Yang Kai began to explore the Dao of Space again.
Fighting with those three Saint King Realm cultivators allowed him to discover more magical uses for the Dao of Space.
By attaching his insights into the Dao of Space to his Divine Sense, Yang Kai was able to let threads of his Spiritual Energy leap across space and explore the situation at far greater distances than would ordinarily be possible. On top of that, these threads of Divine Sense were incredibly difficult to detect and even if they were, tracing them back to Yang Kai’s location was impossible.
This was an application of the Dao of Space Yang Kai had long ago comprehended.
But now he had learned that the Dao of Space could be used in conjunction with his Saint Qi to launch attacks.
During his last battle, Yang Kai had relied on his comprehension of the Dao of Space to allow his Nine Heavens Divine Skills to break through space and strike at the enemy from places they could not have anticipated.
This inadvertent discovery had allowed his combat power to soar.
As a Second-Order Saint, back on Water Moon Star, battling a First Order Saint King had left him quite exhausted, but now, killing three cultivators at the same realm had been quite easy.
This was an advantage brought about by the flexibility of the Dao of Space.
Having gotten a taste of these benefits, Yang Kai was naturally determined to study this application in much greater detail.
As he flew forward, Yang Kai contemplated and comprehended many of the mysteries of the Dao of Space, allowing some previously obscure notions to become clear.
Since entering the Star Field, he had encountered too many powerful masters, a number of whom had truly awe-inspiring strength, making Yang Kai realize just how vast the gap between himself and those people was.
To survive in this place, great personal strength was essential. Fortunately, he had a number of advantages others couldn’t hope to obtain.
