Martial Peak Chapter 724 - Joy After Disappointment

From the direction he was staring, a pair of fierce auras rose and it was clear that a master was approaching.

This Cheng Family was a local overlord in Blue Water City, so it was only natural they had Transcendent Realm masters keeping watch. Feeling the True Qi fluctuations indicative of battle in the garden, this master imdiately ca over to investigate.

Even before these masters had arrived, one of their voices had already called out, “Who dares act dissolute in my Cheng Family?”

Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and stood still, quietly waiting, not making any attempt to escape.

The ones who were approaching were only First Order Transcendents, the sa as Yang Kai, so although there were two of them, Yang Kai was not afraid.

No one in the sa realm could defeat him, of this he was completely confident.

A mont later, from the left and right, two old n arrived, one of them wearing beige-coloured robes, the other wearing light blue clothes. After seeing the horrible scene in the garden, both of these old n couldn’t help feeling stunned.

On the other hand, Yang Kai’s brow furrowed because upon seeing these two old n, he noticed they were both half-crippled, both of them were missing one arm and one leg. In place of their limbs was so kind of artifacts that, although appearing lifelike, were still obviously made of so kind of tal.

“Boy, were you the one who killed these people?” The old man in the beige coloured robes loudly questioned.

Yang Kai nodded lightly, not denying the charge.

“Why did you kill my Cheng Family’s people, what injustice or enmity do you have with my Cheng Family?” The old man angrily screaming blue shirts.

“We have neither enmity nor injustice between us!”

“Then why have you wantonly murdered our people? Since when was my Cheng Family so easily bullied?” As they spoke, the two old man’s True Qi condensed, apparently preparing to exact revenge for their fallen clansn.

Yang Kai’s calm deanor made them realize he had so skill, but when they tried to probe him with their Divine Senses, it only felt as though they were trying to explore a dark, bottomless pit like. Unable to determine anything about this strange youth inevitably caused these two old n so unease, both of them wondering just where this inscrutable Junior had co from.

“If you don’t give us a proper confession for this, my Cheng Family will use all its might to eliminate you!” The old man in beige robes gritted his teeth and declared.

“Eliminate ?” Yang Kai sneered in a low tone, “Good, I’ll just ask my questions after I beat the two of you!”

The young man Yang Kai had just killed didn’t know where ng Wu Ya and Xia Ning Chang went, but that didn’t an these two old n didn’t.

As he spoke, Yang Kai sent out a burst of burning hot Spiritual Energy, instantly condensing it into an invisible ray of heat and shooting it towards the two old n.

The age of the other party was not small and the length of ti they had spent cultivating was not short so obviously their Knowledge Seas’ defence was not fragile and they possessed Soul type artifacts for defense.

But the two old n’s Soul type artifacts only flashed brilliantly for an instant before shattering and they were struck with a scaling hot aura, both of their expression imdiately filling with panic.

Having received the guidance of Old Man Li, Yang Kai now had a certain understanding of how to use his Conflagrated Knowledge Sea.

His Conflagrated Knowledge Sea was not only useful for Alchemy, but also for fighting.

This was Yang Kai’s first true battle after breaking through to the Transcendent Realm and his opponents were actually two veteran cultivators in the sa realm, naturally he wanted to use them to test his current strength.

As such, Yang Kai did not hold back at all.

What he didn’t expect though was that these two old n’s Knowledge Sea’s defenses would be torn through so easily. If they weren’t wearing good Soul type defensive artifacts as well, this one strike from Yang Kai could have incinerated their Souls.

Also realizing this, the two old n’s foreheads imdiately leaked cold sweat and they frantically raised their defences.

Yang Kai retracted his Conflagrated Divine Sense attack while simultaneously darting forward like lightning, arriving in front of the two old n in the blink of any eye.

With two palm strikes, the two old n’s defences crumbled like paper and were both sent flying, the two of them coughing up blood unceasingly.

Smashing into the ground, the two old n had yet to climb up when Yang Kai’s figure appeared right before their eyes, like a towering mountain they were unable to surmount, blocking out the sun’s rays and causing their eyes to grow dim.

[We can’t resist him!] The two old n both instinctually thought this but were unable to accept it.

Yang Kai was also sowhat dissatisfied, thinking that trying to compare against others in the sa realm was sothing of a mistake.

As a dangerous aura enveloped the two old n, they did not dare to move recklessly, only able to lie on the ground, a chill creeping into their hearts, as if they had been tossed into a deep abyss from which there was no return.

“Who the hell are you?” The old man in the beige robes still tried to keep up appearances, enduring the fear in his heart as he tried to probe Yang Kai’s origins.

Yang Kai shook his head, “Who I am, you don’t need to know. I ask you sothing, you answer. If I am satisfied, I can let you go, if I am not, heh heh... by this ti tomorrow your Cheng Family will no longer exist!”

The ruthless words of this youth deeply impacted the two old n, both of them imdiately nodding in agreent. From the strength Yang Kai displayed when dealing with them, the two old n were convinced the forr had the ability to carry out this threat.

“Two years ago, did your Cheng Family receive an old man and a veiled young woman?” Yang Kai stared directly into their eyes and asked.

As soon as this statent ca out, the two old n’s faces suddenly went white, seemingly recalling sothing truly terrifying, their eyes filled with fear and panic.

The old man in beige robes called out, “It turns out you’re with them! Little brother, our Cheng Family was indeed in the wrong that ti and we paid a heavy price for it, even the two of us were punished severely. Two years later, is there still a need to act ruthlessly?”

The blue clothes man also quickly nodded, “Our Cheng Family has learned its lesson, should we not consider this matter finished?”

Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as ne noticed that these two old n were seemingly misunderstanding his intentions.

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Yang Kai asked, “Were your hands and legs taken off by that old man?”

Both of them nodded with strained expressions upon their faces, obviously unwilling to recall what had happened two years ago.

Yang Kai grinned slightly, his dissatisfaction with Treasurer ng swiftly diminishing.

With ng Wu Ya’s personality, soone daring to drug Xia Ning Chang really wouldn’t just result in breaking the legs of a young man, it seed the two Transcendents of the Cheng Family were also punished by him.

The old man in beige quickly followed up, “That Senior seed to have so friendship with one my Cheng Family’s ancestors, so when he ca to this Blue Water City, he entered the Cheng Family for a few days and was received as an honoured guest. My Cheng Family treated him with courtesy, but we never thought... Haa... My Cheng Family’s disobedient Young Master had ideas about that Senior’s disciple and actually dared to slip drugs in her food. When that Senior discovered this, he imdiately flew into a rage. At that ti, if not for one of Water Spirit Temple’s Elders coming forward to sooth his anger, I’m afraid my Cheng Family would have been wiped out. Even so, we paid a heavy price. In the end, out of respect for his friendship with our Cheng Family’s ancestor, that Senior showed rcy and spared our lives!”

“Water Spirit Temple?” Yang Kai eyes lit up, “Did you say Water Spirit Temple?”

“Yes?” The old man in the beige robes was sowhat confused, not understating why Yang Kai suddenly looked a little excited.

“Did that old man and veiled woman go to Water Spirit Temple?” Yang Kai asked eagerly.

“Most likely. That Elder from Water Spirit Temple seed to have co to Blue Water City specifically for them. On top of that, this city is under Water Spirit Temple’s jurisdiction. My Cheng Family is also one of the forces attached to Water Spirit Temple.”

Yang Kai held his chin and sunk into contemplation for a mont, his expression changing back and forth, frightening the two old n sowhat.

After a long silence, Yang Kai suddenly laughed, “So that’s it!”

At that mont, he suddenly beca cheerful.

This was really a case of finding a carriage while lost on a mountain road, experiencing joy after disappointnt!

“Little brother, you...” The old man in the beige robes trembled and hesitantly spoke, fearing that Yang Kai would destroy the Cheng Family after becoming angered.

“This matter has nothing to do with you anymore. Since that old guy didn’t destroy you, it ans his relationship with your ancestor was not shallow, so I won’t overstep my bounds, but... I’ve already killed so many of your henchn and even your Young Master, what do you have to say about this?”

“That disobedient waste, his death isn’t worth pitying!” The old man in beige coldly snorted, “If it wasn’t for him, how could the two of us have been reduced to this state?”

As he spoke, his expression twisted noticeably, apparently he was still quite angry about this even though two years had passed.

“Good,” Yang Kai nodded lightly, restraining his impulse to cut weeds and pull out roots here, faintly asking, “Which direction is Water Spirit Temple?”

“That way, across the sea there is a set of islands that serve as the foundation of Water Spirit Temple,” The old man in beige quickly pointed Yang Kai in the right direction.

Before the old man finished speaking, Yang Kai had already taken off and disappeared from sight.

After waiting for a long silence, confirming that Yang Kai had really left, the two old n breathed a sigh of relief, the two of them sluggishly getting up, the colour of their faces alternating between red and blue.

Losing to a little brat who still reeked of his mother’s milk, they had really lost face. Fortunately, no one was around to see this embarrassing display or they really might have to silence so witnesses.

Such misfortune!

Leaving Blue Water City, Yang Kai rushed forward, not caring about his True Qi consumption in the slightest.

Water Spirit Temple was Shui Ling’s Sect.

Since crossing the Abandoned Earth and entering the Void Corridor together with Shui Ling, arriving in Tong Xuan Realm, it had been almost three years. Before they separated at Bold Independent City, Shui Ling had also invited him to join Water Spirit Temple, but Yang Kai had refused.

If he had not rejected her offer at the ti, perhaps he would have already been reunited with ng Wu Ya and Xia Ning Chang, thinking so, Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling a bit of regret.

Yang Kai was sure that ng Wu Ya and Xia Ning Chang went to Water Spirit Temple to find Shui Ling, and perhaps Treasurer ng had left a ssage for Shui Ling to convey to himself!

After all, back in the Central Capital, ng Wu Ya knew about Shui Ling’s origins so it wouldn’t have been odd for him to guess Yang Kai might co here, but after not being able to find any trace of the latter, he could go to Water Spirit Temple.

This was all just Yang Kai’s speculations, but it was probably close to the truth.

The words of the two Cheng Family old n also reinforced Yang Kai’s hypothesis.

An Elder from Water Spirit Temple coming to Blue Water City to greet ng Wu Ya ant the latter had gone to Water Spirit Temple and t with Shui Ling.

After eting with Shui Ling, ng Wu Ya would know for certain that Yang Kai had arrived in Tong Xuan Realm!

Burning with impatience, Yang Kai shot across the sea like a bolt of lightning, all but cutting the water apart as he flew forward.

After a day and night of flight, Yang Kai spotted so traces of islands in the distance. These islands were scattered about randomly, like chess pieces on a board.

So of these islands were large while so were small, ranging from only a dozen kilotres to several hundred or even thousands of kilotres in radius.

Yang Kai’s spirit shook as he recognized this island chain as Water Spirit Temple’s territory.

On the sea near the islands, a number of large and small vessels were sailing back and forth, transporting various materials and people for the Water Spirit Temple. The scene was grand and magnificent, highlighting the extraordinariness of Water Spirit Temple.
