"Quick, chase them! They've all entered here!"
"Don't let them escape!"
"Hurry up and hand over the treasures!"
"Search them now!!!"
As Ye Kai and Yu Canghai watched Nun explain the teachings of Buddhism with smiles on their faces, a large group of martial artists surged forward, rushing towards the Jade Palace.
...
"Impudent!!!"
Alice's eyes flashed with anger as she disdainfully shouted, "This is the resting place of our sect leader. How dare you act so recklessly!!!"
Clang! Clang!
The four women—Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum—drew their long swords, each letting out a sharp cry as they stood in front of the building.
Lin Pingzhi, Ye Yi, and Ye Er wore fierce expressions, ready to strike at any moment.
"You lowly ones, how dare you block our way?" The wielder of the Five Tiger Breaking Door Blade, a contemporary disciple of Li Hu, brandished his large knife with wide eyes, preparing to attack.
"Clang!"
It was a pity that just as a fierce expression appeared in his eyes, a golden Long Rope suddenly loomed larger before him. With a clang, it not only shattered the long knife in his hand but also sent him flying backward as if he had been struck by a galloping horse, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Watch your mouth; you deserve this!"
The angry shouts that had filled the air fell silent at the sound of that cold voice.
It wasn't that they didn't want to speak; rather, an inexplicable chill ran down their spines, causing everyone present to instinctively shut their mouths.
In an instant, the atmosphere shifted from extreme chaos to utter stillness.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Suddenly, that glaring golden Long Rope that had intruded into their sight now resembled a true dragon dancing in the sky or a spirit snake on patrol, swiftly flicking through the crowd of martial arts experts and sending two or three dozen of them flying.
Almost without exception, every single one of them spewed forth torrents of blood.
Seeing this scene, not just this group of people, but even First-Class Expert and even Yu Canghai, who was half a step away from the master realm, were taken aback.
"Whoosh!"
That seemingly endless Golden Rope, after sending numerous experts flying, quickly vanished through the window on the second floor amidst the incredulous gazes of all present.
Now everyone was left dumbfounded.
They exchanged glances, utterly unsure of what to do next.
If the rumors circulating in the martial world were previously met with disbelief or skepticism, at this moment, as they gazed upon the calm figure leisurely sipping from a cup at the window, they found themselves at a loss for words.
It was only now that they truly understood what it meant to be a master. With just a single Golden Long Whip, this person could effortlessly strike and injure second-rate figures from dozens of meters away.
Just how high was this person's cultivation?
Among those who had rushed here, none were fools. As they pondered, their eyes flickered, and they instinctively took a few steps back.
"This Sect does not favor excessive noise; you may leave," Ye Kai said, glancing at the stunned martial artists with indifference. "You thirty-nine have spoken disrespectfully. This serves as a warning. Upon returning, you must refrain from using your internal energy for seven days. If you fail to comply, your Bloodline will rebel, leading to madness and certain death."
Suddenly, he noticed a glimmer of determination in some eyes and even a hint of murderous intent in others. He continued, "However, you need not fear retaliation from your enemies. Within these seven days, you will have one opportunity to strike with all your might. Should you choose to attack, you will surely perish, but those who assault you will face multiple times the backlash."
It wasn't that Ye Kai was soft-hearted; if one were to interpret it through the lens of that sacred text, it would be said that this group was his flock—Lambs capable of providing him with Power of Faith.
If too many were to die or be injured, it would be detrimental.
Especially since these individuals possessed considerable cultivation; once they became his followers, the Power of Faith they provided would far surpass that of ordinary people.
"We shall obey your esteemed directive!"
Though reluctant, faced with the overwhelming power that had incapacitated thirty-nine individuals in an instant, no one dared to defy him. They respectfully bowed and began to withdraw.
Of course, some remained unconvinced but merely lingered around the outskirts of the Jade Garden, too intimidated to approach any closer.
Because that terrifying Golden Long Whip was truly frightening, the Speed was so fast that even a First-Class Expert couldn't react in time.
However, just as everyone was retreating and Ye Kai thought it was finally quiet, suddenly a few people came together. Among them, a chubby middle-aged man with a friendly face suddenly exclaimed, "Junior Hengshan Liu Zhengfeng pays respects to Star God Sect Master Ye Kai, Senior Ye."
"Junior Huashan Yue Buqun pays respects to Star God Sect Master Ye Kai, Senior Ye."
"Junior Hengshan Ding Yi pays respects to Star God Sect Master Ye Kai, Senior Ye."
"Hmm?"
Ye Kai frowned slightly, wondering why these individuals had come together. Nevertheless, it wouldn't hurt to meet them, so he softly said, "Come in. By the way, that girl lounging on the wall should come over too."
As Yue Buqun, Liu Zhengfeng, and Master Ding Yi entered the courtyard with a few disciples, a girl dressed in emerald green with two shiny black braids casually hanging by her ears jumped down from a corner of the wall.
She was around twelve or thirteen years old and had a fringe of slanted bangs across her forehead. With a cheerful smile, she glanced at everyone and bounced up the stairs ahead of them.
Seeing this girl take the lead, Liu Zhengfeng didn't say much. However, Yue Buqun's eyes sparkled with interest, while Master Ding Yi had already set his sights on the bald Yilin appearing at the window on the second floor.
"Master, you’re here! Yilin has missed you so much," Yilin exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Master Ding Yi.
Similar to her was Linghu Chong, but he was more formal. After Yue Buqun ascended to the second floor, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Disciple Linghu Chong pays respects to Master, Uncle Liu, and Shibo Ding Yi."
Their meeting was lively; however, the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in emerald green had already seated herself beside Ye Kai. She blinked her big eyes, looking curiously at Yu Canghai on one side and Ye Kai on the other as if pondering something.
"Lord God, this girl has such a pure constitution, perfectly suited for cultivating our self-created 'Supreme Eight Desolation Technique' and 'Ice Spirit Triad Lord's Jade Technique'!"
Suddenly hearing the divine prompt, Ye Kai trembled, his eyes shimmering with light as an overwhelming aura surged forth, startling the experts around the Jade Palace and even those in Hengshan City, leaving them shaken and pale.
"Bang!!!"
The wooden chair Yu Canghai was sitting on exploded, and he was sent reeling backward until he landed beside Liu Zhengfeng and the others.
Although this terrifying aura vanished as quickly as it appeared, everyone except the girl was drenched in cold sweat, with Yue Buqun's Dual Eyes narrowing to pinpricks.
Despite his confidence in having reached the threshold of a master, he was still soaked in cold sweat from the fear induced by this aura.
Ye Kai paid no attention to the others. Instead, he took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to the bewildered girl, gently asking, "What is your name?"
"Why should I tell you!" The girl glanced at the black-and-white object in her hand, sniffed it, then disdainfully tossed it onto the table, mumbling.
"…"
Lin Pingzhi was speechless.
"…"
Liu Zhengfeng, Ding Yi, and Yue Buqun were all astonished, soon wearing expressions of bitter amusement.
Though Ye Kai was not taken aback, he found it both amusing and exasperating as he picked up the chocolate, broke off a piece, popped it into his mouth, and continued, "This snack is called 'chocolate,' made by a pastry chef from a foreign country two thousand miles away from Central Plains. You should give it a try."
Unable to contain her curiosity, the Girl picked it up again, broke off a piece, licked it, and immediately made a face that said, "You're such a fraud," before tossing it aside once more.
Although he wanted to laugh, Ye Kai held it back. With a thought, he waved his sleeve across the table, and a tall crystal glass appeared, filled with colorful ice cream.
"Girl, look at this; doesn't it look beautiful with all those colors?"
Seeing that everyone was drawn to the scene, especially the Girl who was genuinely curious as she examined the table and even reached out to touch it. After scratching her head in confusion, Ye Kai gently picked up a spoon and took a bite of the vanilla and strawberry-flavored ice cream.
"Wow!"
The Girl's eyes widened in surprise as she exclaimed, "You are really strange! Why would you eat something so poisonous? Didn't your elders ever tell you not to eat things that are brightly colored?"
"Hey, Senior Ye, you should spit it out! It's poisonous!" Yilin rushed forward, looking anxious.
Ye Kai then burst into laughter and called out, "Qu Yang, why aren't you coming over here with This Sect?"
Whoosh!
A man in a dark purple robe, appearing to be in his forties or fifties, suddenly transformed into a black cloud and swiftly flew in from outside the courtyard. His figure almost became an afterimage as he quickly ascended the building.
"Wow! How did you know my grandfather was here?" Qu Feiyan exclaimed in genuine surprise.
She thought her grandfather was hiding very well; she never expected him to be discovered from such a distance. This person seemed even more formidable than the experts of the Divine Cult!
"Feiyan, do not be rude!"
"Qu Yang" called out sharply before bowing slightly. "I am the junior, Qu Yang, and I pay my respects to Ye Master."
Ye Kai looked around, noticing that most people had gathered, and then smiled as he said, "Zheng Feng, Notorious, Master Dingyi, come over and take a seat. This Sect has some matters to discuss with you."
Seeing everyone sitting upright, even Ding Yi wore a serious expression. Ye Kai then turned to Qu Yang and asked, "Is Qu Feiyan your daughter or your granddaughter?"
"Granddaughter!" Qu Yang replied quickly with a respectful gesture.
"What about her parents?" Ye Kai continued to inquire.
Qu Yang looked surprised and glanced at the equally confused Qu Feiyan. A hint of sorrow flashed in his eyes as he said, "My son and his wife passed away eleven years ago."
"Poor girl!"
Ye Kai patted Qu Feiyan on the head. Just as she was about to retaliate with an annoyed expression, he spoke again, "This Sect wishes to take her as a disciple, making her the seventh disciple under this Sect. What do you think?"
