Para kultivator yang duduk di meja sebelah diam-diam mendiskusikan situasi antara Yun Xing Hua dan Wilayah Angsa Mengejutkan untuk sementara waktu sebelum mereka mengganti topik. Tidak ada informasi berharga lainnya setelah itu.

Yang Kai mengangkat gelasnya dan menikmati minumannya perlahan, menggelengkan kepalanya perlahan. Dari percakapan antara keduanya, Yun Xing Hua tampaknya adalah Pemimpin Benua Angsa Darah, kekuatan besar tempat putri Guo Zi Yan berada.

Yun Xing Hua awalnya memiliki bakat yang cukup baik dan diharapkan dapat mencapai terobosan awalnya ke Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Keempat. Sayangnya, ia terpaksa maju ke Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Ketiga karena penindasan Paviliun Angsa Mengejutkan pada saat itu. Setelah itu, ia membutuhkan waktu 50 tahun lagi untuk mengumpulkan kekuatannya dan menghabiskan sekitar 10 tahun lagi dalam pengasingan. Ketika ia keluar dari pengasingan, ia telah menembus ke Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Keempat.

Meskipun terlambat beberapa dekade, ia akhirnya tetap mencapai Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Keempat. Hanya saja, perbedaan titik awal seorang kultivator akan memengaruhi ruang pertumbuhan kultivator tersebut di masa depan. Jika ia langsung maju ke Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Keempat sejak awal, batas masa depannya akan berada di Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Keenam. Sekarang, batasnya hanya Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Kelima.

Mungkin hanya satu Tingkat, tetapi satu Tingkat ini seringkali membuat perbedaan besar. Ketika Yue He berada di Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Kelima, ia benar-benar tidak berdaya untuk melawan Pemilik Rumah, yang berada di Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Keenam. Sekarang ia berada di Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Keenam, seorang Master Alam Surga Terbuka Tingkat Kelima seperti Lu Xue mungkin tidak akan bertahan lebih dari sepuluh napas melawannya.

Orang-orang di bawah atap tidak punya pilihan selain menundukkan kepala mereka. Sayang sekali, Yun Xing Hua memang terlahir di waktu dan tempat yang salah.

Yang Kai tak kuasa memikirkan kembali situasinya sendiri. Sang Pemilik pernah mengatakan kepadanya bahwa akan ada banyak rintangan jika ia ingin langsung menembus Alam Langit Terbuka Tingkat Tinggi. Mustahil bagi Gua-Langit dan Surga untuk hanya duduk diam dan tidak melakukan apa pun. Mereka pasti akan menindasnya. Jika tidak, pertumbuhan masa depannya akan sangat mengerikan jika ia berhasil maju langsung ke Alam Langit Terbuka Tingkat Tinggi.

Since ancient times, the only ones in the 3,000 Worlds allowed to advance into the High-Rank Open Heaven Realm directly were the disciples of the Cave-Heavens and Paradises who were carefully nurtured since they were young. These people had unique advantages and were extremely loyal to their respective Sects, so there was no need for the Cave-Heavens and Paradises to worry about these disciples overthrowing their dominance.

On the contrary, Yang Kai was different. He had nothing to do with any of the Cave-Heavens or Paradises, so he naturally had no protection from them either. Now, it would seem that this matter of suppressing others was not an uncommon occurrence in the Outer Universe. If a mere Shocking Swan Territory had someone like Yun Xing Hua, then what about the other Great Territories?

In any case, it was no secret that Yang Kai was condensing Seventh-Order Open Heaven Element Powers. He had revealed his Divine Manifestation many times in the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary and befriended several disciples from various Cave-Heavens or Paradises. After the closure of the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary, those people had all returned to their respective Sects. Their Elders and Masters would surely ask about various things that happened in the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary. Those people might want to conceal the truth for him out of their gratitude for saving their lives in the Grand Ancient Ruins Boundary, but they probably would not be able to conceal it for long even if they wanted to.

Therefore, Yang Kai had the feeling that he was already being watched by some of the Cave-Heavens and Paradises. A form of suppression similar to what Yun Xing Hua faced would come at some point.

For that reason, Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling a sense of urgency, as if time was running out. It was a pity that materials of the Seventh-Order and above were simply too scarce. He still lacked Yin, Yang, and Metal Elements, but he was completely clueless as to where to search for them. [I hope the Proprietress can point me in the right direction.]

Yue He seemed to have seen through his gloomy mood; thus, she silently poured wine for him without saying a word.

After waiting for six or seven days in the Star City, Yang Kai began to feel that something was wrong when Guo Zi Yan failed to return even after so long. He had checked the Universe Chart earlier and knew Blood Swan Continent was not that far from the Star City. With Guo Zi Yan’s current speed, it would only take three or four days for a round trip, so how could he possibly delay for so long? Moreover, Guo Zi Yan knew that Yang Kai was waiting for him, so if something had really caused him to be delayed, he would have sent somebody to inform the latter.

[There has been no news from him and he is nowhere to be seen. Could it be that something has happened to him?] When that thought crossed Yang Kai’s mind, he stopped waiting and returned to the Falling Lotus with Yue He instead. The Falling Lotus soon headed in the direction of Blood Swan Continent.

They had only flown for half a day when Yue He, who was standing next to Yang Kai, suddenly turned her head to stare in a certain direction with a look of surprise in her eyes.

Yang Kai followed her gaze only to see a Spirit Province in the distance. It was just that the Spirit Province did not seem to contain any traces of being covered by a Spirit Array. It was probably an ownerless Spirit Province.

There were many such Spirit Provinces scattered across the void in the 3,000 Worlds, normally because such places had such weak heritages that stronger great forces looked down on them. On the contrary, those Open Heaven Realm Masters that were not so strong liked to occupy these Spirit Provinces to found new Sects and slowly develop their strength. If managed well, these Spirit Provinces might just become the Headquarters of a Third-Class or Second-Class great force after many years of work.

“Young Master, there are people fighting over there.” Yue He watched carefully for a moment before speaking all of a sudden.

In this vast universe, countless fights broke out between the people every single day. Likewise, countless people died in battle. Such battles were very common; however, Yang Kai involuntarily frowned upon encountering a fight in this direction. He couldn’t help thinking about Guo Zi Yan, who had yet to return after so long. Turning to look at Lang Qing Shan, he said, “Contact Commander Guo and see if he can be reached.”

Lang Qing Shan received the command and immediately took out the communication bead he used to keep contact with Guo Zi Yan. Pouring his Divine Sense into the communication bead, he raised his head after some time and reported, “Sir, Commander Guo is being besieged right now. He is currently in a terrible situation.”

Yang Kai was furious when he heard those words, “Who dares!?”

There was no longer any doubt. Guo Zi Yan was definitely one of the parties in that fight in that Spirit Province!

Without needing further command from Yang Kai, Lang Qing Shan and the others immediately steered the Falling Lotus towards the direction of the Spirit Province. At the same time, they continuously made contact with Guo Zi Yan through the communication beads. It was just that they did not receive another response. Guo Zi Yan’s situation must have been very bad indeed; otherwise, there was no way he would not even have the time to respond to them.

Provinsi Roh mungkin tampak jauh, tetapi Teratai Jatuh sangat cepat. Hanya butuh waktu kurang dari sebatang dupa bagi mereka untuk mencapai pinggiran Provinsi Roh tempat Yang Kai dan Yue He melompat keluar dari Teratai Jatuh. Saat mereka melihat ke depan, ekspresi mereka berubah muram.

Di Provinsi Roh itu, Guo Zi Yan sedang melindungi seorang gadis muda saat mereka terus mundur. Ia berlumuran darah segar dan auranya berfluktuasi tak menentu. Jelas terlihat bahwa ia telah terluka parah. Pakaian di dadanya compang-camping dan ada luka berdarah di perutnya. Dagingnya menggulung dan organ-organnya yang menggeliat samar-samar terlihat. Ia terus bertahan dan mundur sepanjang jalan, meninggalkan jejak darah di mana pun ia lewat.

Gadis muda yang ia jaga di belakangnya hanya berada di Alam Kaisar dan penampilannya agak mirip dengannya. Meskipun ia bukan wanita cantik yang mampu menghancurkan negara, ia memiliki sosok yang tinggi dan ramping. Dua jejak air mata yang belum kering di pipinya membuatnya tampak sangat menyedihkan. Mata indahnya dipenuhi kepanikan dan kekhawatiran. Dia mungkin memiliki kemauan untuk membantu, tetapi kekuatannya terlalu rendah. Tidak ada yang bisa dia lakukan untuk membantu dalam pertempuran seperti ini; sebaliknya, dia hanya akan menyeretnya jatuh bersamanya jika dia mencoba bertindak.

Ada empat orang yang mengepung pasangan itu sementara ada dua mayat lain tergeletak di tanah. Keempat orang itu dipenuhi luka, tetapi luka mereka ringan. Salah satu dari mereka memancarkan aura Master Alam Pembuka Surga Tingkat Ketiga sementara 3 lainnya berada di Tingkat Kedua.

Dalam pertempuran satu lawan enam, Guo Zi Yan berhasil membunuh dua orang. Dia jelas telah mengerahkan seluruh kekuatannya, tetapi dia seperti anak panah di ujung penerbangannya saat ini. Kekuatan Dunia yang terpancar dari tubuhnya berfluktuasi secara tidak menentu, menyebabkan kekuatan yang dia keluarkan terkadang kuat dan terkadang lemah. Dia jelas tidak lagi berada di puncak kekuatannya.

Di sisi lain, keempat orang yang menyerang berperilaku dengan cara yang tercela dan metode yang mereka gunakan benar-benar tidak tahu malu. Bahkan dengan keunggulan jumlah yang menentukan, mereka masih mengarahkan sebagian besar serangan mereka ke gadis muda itu. Tindakan mereka memaksa Guo Zi Yan untuk mencurahkan sebagian besar energinya untuk melindunginya, menyebabkan dia kewalahan.

Ketika Yang Kai dan Yue He muncul, mereka kebetulan menyaksikan Master Alam Pembuka Surga Tingkat Ketiga memanfaatkan celah dalam pertahanan Guo Zi Yan untuk menghantamkan palu ke bahunya. Terdengar suara retakan keras sebelum lengan kiri Guo Zi Yan langsung terkulai. Tampaknya tulang bahunya telah hancur berkeping-keping.

“Bajingan!” teriak Yang Kai dengan marah. Ketika Gagak Emas mengeluarkan teriakan keras, matahari emas yang bersinar terang muncul dari belakangnya. Panas yang menyengat menyebar dengan cepat, dan Gagak Emas Melemparkan Matahari muncul kembali di dunia.

With a mighty Dragon Roar, the Azure Dragon Spear appeared in Yang Kai’s grasp as he stepped forward and thrust out at the Third-Order Open Heaven Realm Master. Golden Crow’s True Fire enveloped the spear and seemed capable of burning everything in existence.

At the same time as he made his move, Yue He took out a long whip and lashed through the air. World Force erupted as the aura of a Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master enveloped the entire area.

How could the four Low-Rank Open Heaven Realm Masters besieging Guo Zi Yan expect such a sudden turn of events? When they sensed the majesty of Yue He’s Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm aura, their expressions changed drastically. An inexplicable horror descended upon them and they felt the power in their bodies becoming obstructed, as though they were stuck in a quagmire.

*Pa pa pa…*

Soft popping sounds rang out everywhere the whip passed as the 3 Second-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters didn’t even have time to grunt in pain before they exploded into blood mist and vanished from existence.

Another muffled groan sounded as Yang Kai stabbed the remaining Third-Order Open Heaven Realm Master in the chest with his spear. The spear penetrated the Third-Order Open Heaven Realm Master’s back and came out through his chest. When Yang Kai withdrew his spear, blood splattered everywhere. A large hole appeared in that person’s chest, penetrating from the front all the way to the back.

The Third-Order Open Heaven Realm Master stiffened and his eyes widened in shock. He staggered forward a few steps and tried to look back; however, he collapsed to the ground without a shred of vitality before he could turn around completely.

Four Low-Rank Open Heaven Realm Masters were as insignificant as an ant in front of Yue He, a newly-advanced Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master. Yang Kai would not have been able to kill the Third-Order Open Heaven Realm Master so easily if her aura had not been suppressing the latter.

*Pu…*

Guo Zi Yan coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood and half-knelt on the ground while panting heavily. His breathing sounded like a set of old bellows as he was clearly having a hard time.

Seeing his condition, Yang Kai quickly walked over to Guo Zi Yan.

The young girl that Guo Zi Yan had been protecting behind him suddenly leaped forward. She was holding a longsword in her hand and although her complexion was pale, she firmly stood in front of him. Gritting her teeth, she asked in a trembling voice, “Who are you people?”

She was extremely frightened after seeing Yang Kai and Yue He murdering the others emotionlessly.

Guo Zi Yan gasped for breath, “Miao’er, don’t be rude. This is the person I was telling you about before.”

Gadis muda itu terkejut sesaat, tetapi segera setelah itu, dia menyimpan pedang panjangnya dan berlutut di depan Yang Kai dengan bunyi gedebuk yang terdengar. Dia menangis dan memohon, “Tuan, tolong selamatkan Ayahku.”

Yang Kai mengangkat tangan dan membantunya berdiri sambil berkata dengan menenangkan, “Jangan khawatir. Selama aku di sini, aku berjanji Ayahmu tidak akan mati!”

Kemudian dia melirik Yue He yang segera maju untuk memeriksa luka Guo Zi Yan. Beberapa saat kemudian, dia mengeluarkan Pil Roh dan memberikannya kepada Guo Zi Yan sambil berkata, “Meskipun luka Komandan Guo parah, dia tidak akan mati karenanya. Hanya saja dia kehilangan terlalu banyak darah dan menghabiskan terlalu banyak Kekuatan Dunianya. Dia akan baik-baik saja setelah beristirahat sebentar.”
