Martial Peak

 

Waking from their daze, Xiang Chu and Nan Sheng quickly took back their gazes and sprinted out of the room.
 Although Yang Zhao said he would protect them, who knows if he was telling the truth?

 

After the two of them had left, Ye Xin Rou snorted with dissatisfaction, “Not even helping me close the door, hmph.”

 

As she spoke, her eyes flashed and her cheeks blushed slightly, muttering to herself, “This Yang Kai is quite interesting, even daring to injure Kang Zhan like that.
How bold…”

 

Although she had seen Yang Kai a few times now, she and the youngest Yang Family Young Lord had never actually spoken, so she knew nothing about his temperament.
However, after today’s events, she understood him a bit more, suddenly feeling a bit interested about him, in her heart secretly wondering whether Yang Zhao would really be the final victor in this Inheritance War.

 

When Yang Zhao stepped outside the house, he saw Yang Kai standing in the sky silently, alone, Evil Qi soaring into the sky, his immense Divine Sense enshrouding the entire compound, penetrating into every corner and crevice.

 

From all around, people constantly rushed towards Yang Zhao’s mansion, slowly forming a large crowd.
 These people had all been attracted here by Yang Kai’s voice and were eager to find out what was happening.

 

Inside the War City, the tranquility of the past two months gave way to heated tension.

 

A few thousand meters away, on the top floor of a tea house, at a window which opened towards the direction of Yang Zhao’s mansion, Yang Wei concealed himself and stared at Yang Kai across the distance, unable to help his expression from changing.
Thick surprise flashed past his eyes due to how calm Yang Kai seemed despite projecting such a rich murderous aura towards the mansion below him.
 The look on his face was unyielding, and anyone who saw it would instantly understand that he would never give up until he achieved his objective!

 

“What does Ninth Brother want?”  Yang Wei muttered to himself.
War City had been peaceful for more than two months, and everyone had been working hard to develop and strengthen themselves in order to achieve enough power to fully suppress their opponents.
Ninth Brother suddenly emerging at this point confused Yang Wei greatly.

 

Faintly, Yang Wei felt like he had missed out on some vital turning point.

 

There should have been some conflict between his Ninth and Second Brother that he was unaware of.
Otherwise, this scene wouldn’t be taking place right now.

 

Suddenly, a blood red streak appeared in the sky, surrounded by thick Demonic Qi.
When Yang Wei laid eyes upon it, his breath stagnated and his blood seemed to run cold.

 

A moment later, this bloody light came to a stop beside Yang Kai and revealed itself as the demon master who had suddenly appeared in Yang Kai’s mansion more than two months ago.

 

“Young Master!”  As soon as Old Demon appeared, he greeted Yang Kai and began monitoring the surroundings vigilantly.

 

Yang Kai simply nodded.
He was well aware that Old Demon would come so he naturally had nothing much to say.

 

“What the hell is he?”  Yang Wei thought out loud, really wondering what Old Demon’s origins were.

 

Out of the corner of his eye, a familiar figure suddenly appeared and calmly sat down on the chair opposite him.

 

Turning around, Yang Wei confirmed the newcomer was none other than the Liu Family’s Liu Qing Yao!

 

Yang Wei nodded slightly and raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for him.

 

“About the origins of that man, everyone wants to know.”  Liu Qing Yao suddenly said, “It’s almost as if he appeared out of thin air.
The only thing we’ve managed to confirm about him is that for the past half a year or so he was wandering around the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land and he killed a lot of people during that time.”

 

“Oh?” Yang Wei’s brow furrowed, “So, he’s a man from the Evil Land?”

 

“Probably not.
Among the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land’s six Great Evil Kings, there is no such person!”  Liu Qing Yao shook his head.
Old Demon had displayed terrifying strength and methods in battle two months ago, so naturally he would be curious about it.
However, even after leveraging the power of the Liu Family to gather information about him, he still had no clue about his background.

 

“But he seems to be very respectful towards Ninth Brother.
Why is such a strong master so timid in front of him?”  Yang Wei gently let out a sigh, still just as puzzled as before.

 

This demon master was only a step away from the Above Immortal Ascension Boundary.
 Such characters were rare even among the Central Capital Eight Great Families.
Even if such masters weren’t as revered as the Grand Elders at the Above Immortal Ascension Boundary, once they broke through, they would become objects of admiration and reverence.

 

“Forget about him, your Ninth Brother is also impossible to understand.”  Liu Qing Yao said with a dignified expression, his eyes staring off into the distance at Yang Kai.

 

Yang Wei glanced at him and suddenly grinned, “I didn’t expect Young Lord Liu to speak of someone of our generation like this.
If Ninth Brother were to learn of this, I’m sure he’d be proud.”

 

Liu Qing Yao shook his head, “I’m not qualified to evaluate him, and his future achievements will definitely be higher than mine.”

 

“His achievements are already higher than yours!” Yang Wei smiled deeply.

 

The Blood Force and aura Yang Kai was projecting, although still just carrying the signature of the True Element Boundary Ninth Stage, brought immense pressure to Yang Wei, even across such a great distance.

 

He estimated that if he were to fight Yang Kai right now, he would be defeated within a single breath.

 

Even if Liu Qing Yao was stronger than Yang Wei right now, he was still not Yang Kai’s opponent!

 

Yang Wei could see this, so naturally Liu Qing Yao could as well, his expression becoming a little complicated, but he didn’t refute, instead just nodding, “But like this, he will sooner or later fall to the Devil’s Path, so even if he possesses great strength and amazing aptitude, with his body’s True Qi being corroded by such thick Evil Qi, he won’t be able to suppress it.”

 

Listening to this, Yang Wei frowned bitterly, knowing that Liu Qing Yao wasn’t being an alarmist.
In his heart, he was also wondering just how Yang Kai suddenly entered such a state.

 

[Did Ninth Brother cultivate some kind of supreme Evil Technique these past two months?]  Yang Wei secretly guessed.
