Zhu Lie coldly snorted, âProbably means Iâm not sure! Are you stupid?â
Yang Kai opened his mouth, but he was speechless, his mood instantly becoming terrible.
Zhu Lie glanced at him and chuckled, âYou seem concerned about her. Are you curious to know her situation?â
Yang Kai snickered, âItâs not like Iâm that close with her, so why would I be concerned? Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with me. Naturally, thatâs the business of your Dragon Island, so enough with the nonsense.â
Zhu Lie shrugged, âThe last time she contacted Dragon Island was two months ago, and itâs precisely because we were sure that she was in a dangerous place and would most likely lose her life there that I came out from Dragon Island to look for you.â
âWhat are you looking for me for?â Yang Kai asked, dissatisfied.
Zhu Lie answered, âHer mission hasnât been completed, so naturally, someone has to complete it for her!â Shaking his head, he sighed, âOnly, it seems like I, too, will not be able to bring you back to Dragon Island. But remember, Dragon Island wonât give up. You wonât be so lucky next time.â
Yang Kai coldly snorted, âGo back and tell your Dragon Clan that if anyone dares to disturb this Young Master again, send one and I will kill one, send two and I will kill two. I just donât know how many Dragon Clan members you have on Dragon Island for me to kill.â
Zhu Lieâs face turned dark and he gritted his teeth, hissing, âShameless boasting!â
âOff you go!â
With a flick of his sleeve, Yang Kai turned around and went back into Spirit Sword Peak. Zhu Lie stood in place and stared for a long time before his body moved, flying away in a stream of light.
No one intercepted him on the way. Right now, the temple was busy with the Demon Banishment Order and the search for Wu Kuang, so most of the Sectâs Masters were outside and it was naturally impossible for those who were left to try to stop a Dragon.
Zhu Lie moved very quickly and left Azure Sun Temple in just a short while, but just as soon as he left the Azure Sun Mountain Range, he paused, his eyes staring coldly at a figure in front of him. It was Yang Kai.
Zhu Lie had no idea when he had run past him, or how long he had been standing there with his hands behind his back, but he was annoyed and shouted angrily, âWhat do you want now? Youâre not thinking of going back on your word, are you? This Dragon is not even thinking about starting trouble with you, but if you dare to go against your wordâŠâ
âDonât be so nervous!â Yang Kai interrupted him with a cold smile on his face, âI just want to ask how your Dragon Island is prepared to deal with Zhu Qingâs matter.â
âZhu Qing is already dead, what else can we do?â Zhu Lie frowned.
Yang Kai said, âDidnât you say probably, and that you werenât sure just now? So why are you so sure now that sheâs dead?â
Zhu Lie told him, âEven if sheâs not dead, she wonât be alive for long. The place that she went to is the Frozen Earth. You should know how dangerous that place is.â
â I know. If it wasnât dangerous, then it would have been impossible for one of your Dragon Clan to have been lost there to begin with. I just wanted to ask, is your Dragon Island not planning to save her?â
Zhu Lie sneered, âSheâs an Eighth-Order Red Dragon, if even she lost her life there, then there arenât many Dragons on the island who can guarantee their own safety. Dragon Island will not risk the lives of other clansmen just to save a fellow clansman who theyâre not even sure is dead or alive!â
Yang Kai shouted, âEven if sheâs dead, you should go and collect her corpse! Sheâs one of your clansmen after all!â
Zhu Lie scoffed at him, âShe did not know the immensity of Heaven and Earth and decided to trespass into the Frozen Earth, so why should others join her in taking this risk? If sheâs dead, then sheâs dead. No one will go and save her either.â
âIs this what you think, or is this what Dragon Island thinks?â Yang Kaiâs expression was dark.
âItâs what I think and itâs what Dragon Island thinks!â Zhu Lie turned his head away, not meeting Yang Kaiâs eyes.
Yang Kai was silent for a moment before muttering, âI really feel like punching you.â
Zhu Lie sneered, âHavenât you beaten me enough these days? This Dragon will surely return the shame that you gave a hundred times in the future!â
âTalk to me after you can beat me.â Yang Kai looked in contempt at him and turned around, flying back to Azure Sun Temple.
He returned to Spirit Sword Peak in just a few breaths, coming straight to the back of the mountain. Even though they had just experienced the escape of the Demon Spirits at Spirit Sword Peak, the back of the mountain did not suffer much damage, so the Cross-Territory Space Array he placed there was perfectly undamaged.
It wasnât until he stood in front of the Space Array that Yang Kai suddenly came back to his senses. His mind was so filled with other thoughts earlier that he didnât even notice his own movements, and by the time he realized, he was already here.
âFollow your heart, huhâŠâ Yang Kai muttered softly and said helplessly to himself, âHow troublesome.â
Despite that, the hesitation on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced with a look of determination.
A noise whistling through the air was approaching from the distance. Yang Kai turned his head around and saw a fiery red light flying in. Seemingly able to sense Yang Kaiâs location, it came straight to the back of the mountain, landing not far away from him.
âWhat?â Yang Kai looked at Zhu Lie who decided to turn back without much enthusiasm, looking as if he wanted to fight with him.
Zhu Lie asked, âAre you planning on going to the Frozen Earth to look for Zhu Qing?â
âNone of your damn business!â Yang Kai scoffed.
Zhu Lieâs face distorted a little. Turning away, he said, âIf youâre going to go, count me in.â
âOh?â Yang Kai raised his brow, looking at him with interest, âGive me a reason, and donât tell me itâs because you found your conscience or some other nonsense. Iâm not going to believe such a childish reason.â
Zhu Lie scratched his nose and said, âZhu Qing is my Elder Sister!â
Yang Kai was slightly surprised, but he soon relaxed.
He had a vague feeling prior to this that Zhu Lie and Zhu Qing shared some sort of blood relationship because of certain similarities in their appearance and characteristics. Only, since he asked once and didnât get an answer, he didnât bother to get to the bottom of things.
But only now did Yang Kai find out that his guess was correct. These two Red Dragons were, in fact, siblings.
âIs that reason enough?â Zhu Lie looked at Yang Kai with a serious expression.
âEn, itâs enough.â Yang Kai nodded before stepping onto the Space Array and calling out, âGet on.â
Zhu Lie frowned. Even though he had no idea what Yang Kai was going to do, he didnât sense any hostility from him, so with utter confidence in his own strength, Zhu Lie mounted the array.
âDonât resist!â As Yang Kai shouted, Space Principles began to fluctuate. The Void seemed to collapse in on itself in that instant, and if Yang Kai had not warned him, Zhu Lie would likely have tried to struggle, and would perhaps have been exiled to the Void as a result.
With a flash of light, the two figures disappeared.
At the same time, the Northern Territoryâs High Heaven Palace.
At the Space Array, both Yang Kai and Zhu Lie appeared at the same time. Seeing their arrival, the two disciples who were keeping watch at the side quickly saluted, âGreetings Palace Master!â
Yang Kai nodded before taking out his communication artifact and pouring a message into it. Then, he stood in place, waiting.
Zhu Lie had already recovered from the side effects of the cross-territory teleportation and was now looking around, frowning as he asked, âWhere is this?â
Yang Kai answered without even turning back, âThe Northern Territory, High Heaven Palace!â
Zhu Lie was stunned for a moment before he began observing the Space Array, pondering, âZhu Qing said you had a Cross-Territory Space Array here. So itâs true.â
Yang Kai fumed, âWhy does that damn woman report everything to Dragon Island? Do I have no secrets at all over there?â
Zhu Lie frowned, âWatch your words, Human. Thatâs my Elder Sister youâre talking about!â
Yang Kai sneered, âElder Sister? I didnât see you taking the initiative to save your Elder Sister. If I had a brother like you, I would have strangled him a long time ago, what would I need him for!â
âWhat do you know?!â It was not known which one of Yang Kaiâs words struck a sensitive nerve in Zhu Lie, sending him into a rage as he gnashed his teeth, âYou think I donât want to save her? You think Iâm willing to just watch her die out there!?â
âThen why didnât you go? Wherever the heart leads, the body should follow. Cultivators like us should tread upon the path we determine for ourselves, bravely, without hesitation or regret. The only thing we should fear is being over cautious and indecisive. If Zhu Qing is really your Elder Sister, then you shouldnât have sought me out at Azure Sun Temple. You should have looked for her in the Frozen Earth. Even if you died, you should die together with her. Now, with time delayed, you may have cut off her only chance to survive.â
Zhu Lieâs mouth opened and closed, looking extremely angry, and even his eyes seemed to burn.
But for some reason, those fires suddenly died down. Face hazing over, he sighed, âWherever the heart leads, the body should follow. Is that the reason you want to save her?â
Yang Kai curled his lip, âWhat else? I donât know her well enough to risk my life for her, and Iâd rather she have gone and died sooner rather than later⊠But since the thought of saving her appeared in my heart, Iâm afraid this thought will haunt me and become a heart demon if I donât take action.â
Zhu Lie said, âNo matter what, I thank you in Zhu Qingâs place.â
âNo need to thank me, just donât bother me in the future.â Yang Kai coldly snorted.
A beautiful figure flew over from afar at that time and landed in front of the pair. It was High Heaven Palaceâs Head Manager, Hua Qing Si. Cupping her fist, she spoke, âPalace Master, youâve returned!â While speaking, she glanced curiously at Zhu Lie who was standing next to Yang Kai, but asked no questions about him.
Naturally, Zhu Lie did not bother to say anything. Members of the Dragon Clan had always been arrogant, and if he had not suffered so much at Yang Kaiâs hands, he wouldnât even look at the latter either.
âWeâll be leaving immediately.â Yang Kai looked to be in a hurry.
âWhere are you going?â Hua Qing Si asked.
âI have to make a visit to Fire Dragon Palace. Are we connected to Fire Dragon Palaceâs Space Array?â
Hua Qing Si responded, âI proposed it before, but Li Jiao wasnât too willing, so I didnât force the issue.â
âOf course he wouldnât beâŠâ Yang Kai smirked. Even though Fire Dragon Palace and Full Sky Sect were established top Sects in the Northern Territory, both of them ate a big loss at Yang Kaiâs hands and now owed a huge debt to High Heaven Palace that they would not be able to pay back even after a few dozen years, so how could they be willing to connect their Space Arrays with their debtors? Wouldnât this just make it more convenient for debt collectors to come and demand payment?
âNo matter, Iâll just fly there directly. Point me in their direction.â
Hua Qing Si quickly pointed in a certain direction and said, âFire Dragon Palace is that way. With Palace Masterâs speed, it should only take about three days. Does Palace Master need me to accompany you? Iâve been to Fire Dragon Palace once.â
âNo need.â Yang Kai waved his hand. But then, he changed to Divine Sense transmission, âHow is the situation with the Thousand Illusions Dreamworld?â
Hua Qing Si adopted a serious countenance and replied, âEverything has been arranged and Chi Yue and the others have gone in once already, gaining much from the experience. However, the scope and scale of the Thousand Illusions Dreamworld are too big. Iâm afraid it will take some time to map out the rules. Iâm preparing to choose some disciples from Thousand Leaves Sect for the next batch to enter.â
