c2642: – Successful Retreat

“Space Principles! Someone actually used a Spatial Technique!” Someone suddenly bellowed. Even though the shout was not too loud, it echoed all over the wilderness clearly.

The faces of all the Emperor Realm Masters grew solemn hearing this.

The Dao of Space was an esoteric Dao that only a few could use even when considering the entire Star Boundary. It was rumoured that the man who was the most proficient in the Dao of Space was a Master from the Eastern Territory’s Spirit Beast Island.

But that man supposedly had a powerful Third-Order Emperor Realm cultivation.

Now though, a mere First-Order Emperor actually used a Spatial Technique to such a skilful degree.

“I think that bell is the Mountains and Rivers Bell!” Another person recognized the bell.

“The Mountains and Rivers Bell? The relic of the Yuan Ding Great Emperor?”

“Yes, it was indeed the Mountains and Rivers Bell! I’ve long heard from my disciples that the Mountains and Rivers Bell appeared in the Shattered Star Sea, but at some point disappeared. Now, it seems like someone has refined the Mountains and River Bell and brought it out of the Shattered Star Sea.”

“Sii… He is proficient in The Dao of Space and managed to refine the Mountains and Rivers Bell… what a great fortune he has!”

“Who was that young man!?”

While everyone was still in doubt, Feng Xuan suddenly roared to the Heavens with an outraged face, “Yang Kai! This King swears he will kill you if it is the last thing he ever does!”

“Yang Kai!”

“Wasn’t that the name of the one the Seeking Passion Sect has been looking for?”

“It is said that he has a close relationship with Ice Heart Valley, and because of that, the Seeking Passion Sect sent troops to Ice Heart Valley to force information about him out of Bing Yun.”

“So, that little brat was Yang Kai!”

……

No matter whether Yang Kai was famous or not before today, he was destined to become famous after today, for he had killed a Seeking Passion Sect Elder and captured Nanmen Da Jun right in front of the Seeking Passion Sect’s Sect Master, Feng Xuan. Furthermore, he managed to make a successful retreat. No ordinary genius could accomplish the same feats Yang Kai had.

The hot news of Yang Kai wielding Space Principles and possessing the Mountains and Rivers Bells naturally spread out rapidly.

It was just a matter of time before the name of Yang Kai would be known throughout the entire Northern Territory.

Not everyone could master the Dao of Space as it depended on one’s natural talent for this Dao, nor would it be possible to comprehend it even if Yang Kai was captured and they tortured him for information; however, the Mountains and Rivers Bell was the titular artifact of the Yuan Ding Great Emperor, and rumour had it that it was an Ancient Exotic Artifact that was brought out from the Ancient Wild Lands, a treasure that all envied.

During the War of Great Emperors, even though he had to bear serious danger, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor still chose to kill Yuan Ding first because he was afraid of the Mountains and Rivers Bell in his hands.

This was a treasure that even the strongest Master in the history of the Star Boundary feared! If one could lay their hands on it, his or her strength would soar.

Yang Kai and Ji Yao teleported back to the borders of Ice Heart Valley.

After sensing a tremendous energy fluctuation, Zhang Sun Yin immediately rushed out and looked over at the direction of Ji Yao and Yang Kai nervously, “Senior Brother Yang, you’re injured!” She exclaimed as she saw blood at the corner of his mouth.

Yang Kai waved his hand lightly, “I’m fine!”

Zhang Sun Ying continued, “You two are finally back! Honoured Master has been worried about both of you these past few days. Honoured Master would have gone out to seek you two if she was not afraid that she would alarm the enemy.”

While speaking, Zhang Sun Ying suddenly glanced at Nanmen Da Jun who was being held captive by Yang Kai, asking, “Who is he?”

Ji Yao answered, “Nanmen Da Jun!”

Flabbergasted, Zhang Sun Ying jumped on with joy, “You succeeded!?”

She had no clue about what Yang Kai was doing outside for these past few days. It was only after Ji Yao departed that she found out Yang Kai was going to deal with Nanmen Da Jun, and now that the latter had been captured, there was no doubt that they had succeeded.

Yang Kai nodded, and pushed Nanmen Da Jun forward to her, “I’ll turn him over to you, it will be up to Senior Bing Yun to decide whether he lives or dies. I need to heal myself first.”

Then, he turned to Ji Yao, “Junior Sister Yao, come and find me tomorrow. I’ll need your help.”

Ji Yao nodded without asking any questions.

After that, Yang Kai disappeared.

Although his cultivation was sealed, Nanmen Da Jun still showed the demeanour of a Grandmaster without a single trace of panic on his face. He looked around and stated calmly, “So, this is Ice Heart Valley. This King has long wanted to visit this place, but I didn’t expect to come here with the identity of a prisoner.”

Zhang Sun Ying and Ji Yao exchanged a look, the former stretching out her hand to gesture, “This way, Grandmaster Nanmen. I’ll take you to see our Honoured Master!”

Nanmen Da Jun smiled faintly, “En, lead the way!”

He looked calm and unaffected, which made many disciples of Ice Heart Valley see him in a new light. Although he was responsible for the dire situation of Ice Heart Valley, there was no real grudge between Nanmen Da Jun and Ice Heart Valley, he was simply working after receiving payment.

Since they had captured him, the crisis of Ice Heart Valley was resolved, and there was no point in harassing him.

Inside the room of the small courtyard, Yang Kai sat cross-legged and swallowed a few healing pills before quietly cultivating.

After a night of effort, Yang Kai had basically recovered and no longer showed any signs of injury.

The next morning, Yang Kai opened the door and left his room.

Ji Yao was already waiting outside.

Yang Kai requested as he glanced at her, “I want to see Senior Bing Yun.”

“Follow me!” Ji Yao answered. While leading the way, she took out her communication artifact and sent a message to Bing Yun.

Not long after, the two arrived at Bing Yun’s residence.

Needless to say, Bing Yun expressed her thanks to Yang Kai when they met. Without his help, they would never have been able to capture Nanmen Da Jun so easily.

Bing Yun’s cultivation was extraordinary, but some things just could not be achieved merely by strength.

“What are you going to do with Nanmen Da Jun?” Yang Kai asked.

Bing Yun replied, “We have made an agreement. In exchange for Ice Heart Valley guaranteeing his safety, he has agreed to never act against Ice Heart Valley again. Now, he is considered a guest, and I will send him away when the war is over.”
