A long while later, he stepped forward and vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he had already arrived at the Space Array.
“Greetings, Palace Master!” The disciples guarding the Array quickly saluted him.
He nodded in acknowledgement before stepping onto the platform.
One of the disciples asked, “Palace Master, are you going out? When will you be back? The Head Manager might ask about this.”
“I’m going to Ice Heart Valley,” Yang Kai answered before pushing his Space Principles, after which a bright light instantly wrapped around him.
Yang Kai’s figure appeared at Ice Heart Valley’s Restricted Area, the Ice Lake, in the next moment. As soon as he appeared, a feminine voice rang out, “Are you from High Heaven Palace?”
“Yes!” Yang Kai replied.
This Array was only connected to Ice Heart Valley and High Heaven Palace, making it quite easy to travel between the two places. Therefore, only the people of High Heaven Palace could use the Array to teleport here. Even so, the disciples of Ice Heart Valley guarding the Array had to verify this fact upon seeing the Array being activated.
After confirming that it was somebody from High Heaven Palace, the disciple stepped forward, but when she saw his face, she blurted out, “P-P-Palace Master Yang?!”
Yang Kai looked at her but did not recognize her. She was a young girl with a babyface. Although she looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, her cultivation was in the First-Order Dao Source Realm so she was clearly older than that.
At this moment, the young woman looked very surprised and her beautiful eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, almost as if she was welcoming home a long lost family member.
“Do you know me?” Yang Kai cocked his head to the side and asked.
The young woman explained excitedly, “Everybody in Ice Heart Valley knows you!”
Her response made Yang Kai sweat slightly, but thinking about it, it wasn’t that surprising; after all, when Ice Heart Valley was besieged by Seeking Passion Sect, he had brought the Monster Kings here and turned the tide of the battle. Many Ice Heart Valley’s disciples had seen him in that battle, and even if they did not witness it themselves, they would still hear some information about it from their fellow disciples.
“Palace Master Yang, did you come to speak to Ancestral Founder? Or, did you come to find… Martial Aunt Ji Yao?” Everyone in Ice Heart Valley knew that Yang Kai and Ji Yao had a close relationship; moreover, the only reason their missing Third Martial Aunt was able to return to the Sect was that Yang Kai had brought her back. It was rumoured that she had experienced a lot of hardship outside the Sect over the years.
“I’m here to meet Senior Bing Yun,” Yang Kai said politely.
“I’ll relay your request then!” The disciple hurriedly took out her communication artifact and poured some Divine Sense into it. A moment later, she beckoned, “Palace Master Yang, please follow me.”
“Many thanks!”
While following this disciple, Yang Kai encountered many Ice Heart Valley’s disciples along the way. Their cold yet alluring nature was simply beautiful. Indeed, it was as this young woman guiding him had mentioned, all the Ice Heart Valley’s disciples recognized him. Most of them bowed deeply at the sight of him while others gathered from afar to point at him and murmur among themselves. Yang Kai did not know what they were saying, but from the way they were acting it was obvious they weren’t making malicious remarks.
Ice Heart Valley was a female-only Sect. Only women could be found here and men were basically not allowed to set foot in this place. That was to say, only Yang Kai would receive such courteous treatment in this place. If it had been any other man, they would have been cut into ten thousand pieces a long time ago.
The scenery in the valley was stunning, and the World Energy was dense. Combined with the countless beauties around, any man would wish to linger in this place.
The female disciple leading the way seemed to be very proud of the fact that she was the one escorting Yang Kai and occasionally chatted with him along the way, arousing the envy of many within the Sect.
After a short walk, they came to a great palace where that female disciple stopped walking and said, “Palace Master Yang, please go inside. Ancestral Founder is waiting for you.”
“Many thanks!”
The female disciple hurriedly waved her hand in dismissal, “Palace Master Yang, please don’t be so formal with me. It was not trouble for me at all.”
