The Blood Warrior Hall had suffered terrible losses, leaving all the Blood Warriors who survived sad and solemn.
In addition to the casualties from the Blood Warrior Hall, several of the family Elders had also died.
Even Yang Zhen, the Great Elder, had died at the hands of Free And Unfettered Spirit Temple.
It could be said that since this catastrophe struck, half of all the Yang Family’s high-level masters had been killed, making this by far the greatest blow the family had ever experienced.
Not only the Yang Family, but every one of the Central Capital’s Eight Great Families had suffered such a fate.
Fortunately, Wu Zheng hadn’t acted completely ruthlessly as he had absolute confidence in his own strength. He believed that the cultivators from the Central Capital wouldn’t be able to revolt against his subordinate. After the initial slaughter, he had sealed strength of many of the masters of the great families, forcing them to submit and work for him.
Wu Zheng’s goal was the human resources of this world.
Whether it was bringing these people back to Tong Xuan Realm to serve as labourers or to be sold as slaves, they would be a great asset.
For this reason, the Central Capital Eight Great Families had not been completely exterminated.
“Ninth Brother, that Wu Zheng’s strength and methods are earth-shattering, can the people you brought with you really oppose him?” Yang Zhao asked somewhat nervously.
“En, I never thought anyone could possess such terrifying strength,” Some of the other Elders chimed in.
“Is that what you’re worried about? Well, seeing is believing,” Yang Kai chuckled, turning his head in a certain direction and nodding after a moment, “They’re back.”
“Who’s back?” Yang Zhao was confused.
Outside the main hall, a beautiful figure appeared, wrapped in an ice-cold aura; naturally, it was Han Fei.
Holding a bloody head in her hand, she walked straight inside and tossed it onto the ground before bowing to Yang Kai, “Master, fortunately, I have not failed my mission!”
“En, good work,” Yang Kai gently nodded.
Inside the hall, everyone’s eyes turned to the severed head that was slowly rolling on the ground, their eyes bulging in the next breathe with Yang Zhao jumping out of his chair and shouting, “It’s Wu Zheng!”
“He’s really dead?”
“Good good!” Many of the Yang Family member’s eyes lit up as their faces filled with joy.
Turning towards Han Fei, each of them showed her a look filled with respect and gratitude.
Before, when Li Rong had appeared and eliminated the master brought by Wu Zheng, she had received many thanks, but that was all. From their perspective, the disciples of Free And Unfettered Spirit Temple had all just died inexplicably, none of them had been able to see Li Rong’s methods so they were unable to judge just how tyrannical her strength was.
But now that the saw Wu Zheng’s head being brought in by Han Fei, all of them fully understood how astonishing this cold beauty’s power was.
For a moment, everyone in the hall couldn’t tell if they were dreaming or seeing some kind of illusion, many of them even getting up off their seats to take a closer look at Wu Zheng’s head to confirm if it was real or not.
After confirming it was though, all of them shook with excitement.
“Ninth Brother, this Lady is…” Yang Zhao directed a hesitant and somewhat strange look towards Han Fei.
“We are Master’s subordinates,” Han Fei took the initiative to explain, lest everyone misunderstood.
“Subordinates…” Yang Zhao’s face twitched visibly, for a while not knowing how to respond.
Ninth Brother had been away for more than a decade without the slightest bit of news, yet he had suddenly returned, bringing with him incredibly powerful subordinates, swept away the seemingly invincible enemies that had invaded their homes, and saved the entire Central Capital. In comparison, he, the Patriarch of the Yang Family, was actually helpless to resist while the enemy had killed so many from his family. The gap between the two of them caused Yang Zhao to feel somewhat dejected.
“Very good, with these two madams here, our Yang Family will not have to fear being bullied again.”
“That’s right, Ninth Brother, you’ve come back to stay, right?”
The brothers inquired eagerly.
However, Yang Kai shook his head.
Dong Su Zhu, who was sitting next to Yang Kai, instantly went pale and instinctually grabbed hold of Yang Kai’s hand, tearfully calling out, “Kai’er, are you planning to leave again?”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “I have to leave, but this time I must take all of you with me.”
“You want us to go with you?” Yang Zhao knit his brow.
“Indeed. I hope that everyone can come with me to Tong Xuan Realm.”
The hall suddenly fell silent. The Central Capital was where their roots were, the birthplace of their ancestors. Yang Kai asking them to abandon it inevitably gave them pause.
Yang Kai naturally understood what they were feeling and stood up to speak, “Before, my Yang Family was the strongest amongst the Eight Great Families, one of the greatest powers in this world, but now, the situation is different. This world and Tong Xuan Realm have become connected. This time it was Wu Zheng, the next time it might be someone else, possibly even someone worse. It is no longer safe to remain here in the Central Capital.”
“More people will come?” Many people’s faces went white, none of them having realized how serious the situation was until now.
They had thought that with Wu Zheng dead, they would have nothing else to worry about, but now it appeared that was not the case.
According to Yang Kai’s words, this place had become a piece of meat that many powerhouses and forces would want to take a bite of.
“If that’s the case, naturally we should not sit idly by and wait,” Yang Zhao’s expression became dignified as he sank into contemplation for a moment before suddenly looking at Yang Kai, “Ninth Brother, Second Brother must ask you a few questions.”
Yang Kai nodded.
“If we leave the Central Capital and follow you back to that Tong Xuan Realm, can you guarantee we’ll be able to survive with just our strength? Second Brother doesn’t want to be demeaning, but after this incident, our weakness and short-sightedness has become painfully obvious.”
“I can. On that side, I have a certain amount of influence, and it will be enough to safeguard all of your lives.”
Yang Zhao expression brightened as he continued, “Is there a place for us to stay? Somewhere we can establish a new home?”
“Yes, I’ve already found such a place, you don’t need to worry about that.”
Yang Zhao asked again, “What about materials? Here we can support ourselves, but we are not familiar with how things work on the other side, will there be any issue securing enough cultivation resources?”
Yang Kai smiled meaningfully, “What I most do not lack now is cultivation materials. There are more Crystal Stones than could ever be used up along with an abundance of Spirit Grade and Saint Grade materials, far more than you could even imagine, I guarantee that you will not have any worries about having enough resources on that side.”
Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded.
