Martial Peak

ns out it’s just some trivial matters… Junior Brother Yang, I’m not going anywhere.
Central Capital Eight Great Families? What do they count for? Do any of them dare harm my Medicine King’s Valley people? No! Even if they had several times the courage they wouldn’t dare.”

Saying so, Qin Ze got up from his seat and left, not putting the Eight Great Families in his eyes at all.

Seeing this display, everyone couldn’t help laughing a bit.

However, when they thought about it, Qin Ze was indeed qualified to say such words.
Although Medicine King’s Valley was just a second-class Sect, but because of its peculiar makeup, the Eight Great Families really wouldn’t dare harm its people.

“Yang Kai, just how serious is the situation?” Han Xiao Qi calmly took the initiative to ask.

Yang Kai shook his head lightly, “I don’t know, but becoming an enemy of the Eight Great Families is quite likely.
For some reasons, the people of the Eight Great Families want me to submit to them, and since I have refused to do so, a contradiction was born, one that cannot be resolved peacefully.
Therefore, I wanted to let all of you leave here as soon as possible and no longer associate yourselves with me.” Suddenly turning to the nine tall figures in the back of the hall, he continued, “Of course, this includes those from the Blood Warrior Hall as well.”

Tu Feng and the other Blood Warriors quickly exchanged a glance before laughing spiritedly.

Tang Yu Xian saying, “Little Lord, if I may speak freely, please don’t look down on us.
Since we have decided to follow you, then we shall share life and death with you, never retreating in the face of adversity.
Little Lord, have you forgotten, the name Blood Warrior is synonymous with loyalty!”

“Even in death, we shall not leave.” Ying Jiu said coolly.

“We swear to follow the Little Lord!” All of them shouted.

“Since that is the case, I will not say any more, to do so would only be an insult to you.” Yang Kai nodded firmly.

“The Seniors from the Blood Warrior Hall aren’t leaving, so naturally I’m not leaving either.” Dong Qing Han smiled.
“You are my younger cousin, what kind of man would I be if I abandoned my family?”

“Yang Kai, all of us owe you our lives, in your hour of need, naturally we won’t leave you.” Han Xiao Qi looked at Yang Kai with a hint of tenderness.
She knew how difficult it must have been for Yang Kai to make such a decision under these circumstances.

“A debt of graciousness must be repaid with gratitude, a grudge must be repaid with revenge, and my Pure Heart Palace will also stand by you.” Zuo Fang quickly declared.

Even without mentioning Yang Kai saving his life in that Isolated World, some time ago, Xia Ning Chang had refined a batch of pills for Zuo Fang’s Senior Brother Li Xin Yuan to repair his damaged dantian.

Zuo Fang was incredibly grateful to Yang Kai, so how could he just leave at this time?

“Ever since I came to this house, my strength and cultivation have improved rapidly.
Every day there is no lack of high-grade pills and whatever artifact I want I can easily acquire.
Quite frankly, I never want to leave this place.” Fang Zi Ji laughed heartily.

“Good for nothing.” Hu Jiao Er stared at him somewhat disdainfully.

“I’m just speaking the truth.” Fang Zi Ji shrugged his shoulders casually.

“Yang Kai, as long as you don’t forces us out, we won’t leave.”

All the cultivators in the house stood up and echoed this sentiment one by one.

Yang Kai swept his eyes over the crowd once more, a heartfelt smile on his face.
He could tell that each of these people were completely sincere.
There was not a hint of falsehood in any of their words.

However, he didn’t discount the possibility that they hadn’t yet realized just how serious this problem was.

But currently, it was not convenient for Yang Kai to say anymore.
If he were to really try to force them out at this point, it would only show that he didn’t really think of them as his friends and allies.

With things having reached this point, all he could say was, “Many thanks for all of your good intentions, just remember that my words today still stand.
In the future, if you decide that it is impossible for you to remain, I, Yang Kai, swear not to stand in your way or to utter half a word of blame.”

“Fine fine, don’t say anymore.
Saying anymore will just hurt our feelings.” Dong Qing Han casually called out, the atmosphere suddenly becoming harmonious.

Next, everyone began to inquire all at once about what was actually going on.
Since all of them were now in the same boat and this was related to everyone’s interests, Yang Kai explained what had transpired between him and Yang Zhen, but as for the Myriad Drug Liquid, he still kept that to himself.

After listening to his explanation, everyone’s brows furrowed as they became clear just how dire Yang Kai’s situation was.

Because he had cultivated a Demonic Secret Art, given shelter to many Devil’s Path disciples, and shared a common origin with the current Demon Lord, the Eight Great Families had become suspicious and fearful towards him; such a scenario was indeed not optimistic.

The Inheritance War suddenly underwent many unforeseen changes.

From Yang Kai’s supporters, the Qiu Family’s Qiu Yi Meng was recalled to the Central Capital and the Huo Family’s Huo Xing Chen was personally brought back to the Huo Family compound by the Huo Family Patriarch and confined to house arrest.

Prior to this, the Xiang Family’s Xiang Tian Xiao had also left Yang Kai’s mansion.

At the same time, rumors began to circulate in War City that Yang Kai had colluded with demons and monsters.

Inside his mansion there were members of High Heaven Pavilion as well as disciples from Ghost King Valley.
On top of that, he cultivated a Demonic Secret Art and had almost fallen to the Devil’s Practices.
When he was breaking through to the Immortal Ascension Boundary, he had scattered Demonic Qi all over War City and had confronted Eight Above Immortal Ascension Boundary Grand Elders from the Eight Great Families after cruelly killing two first-class family heirs.
To top it all off, he also hailed from the same Sect as the Demon Lord.

All kinds of news were spread out, causing a great deal of suspicion among populace.

Suddenly, much of the world felt that Yang Kai really was a dangerous character.

There was even a rumor that the Yang Family wanted to stop Yang Kai from participating in the Inheritance War and competing for the position of future Patriarch.

All of War City was suddenly abuzz as a dangerous tension began to emerge.

The entire Inheritance War had been thrown into chaos.

Yang Kai had reached a position of absolute superiority twice now, but each time, for various reasons, it was impossible for him to win the final victory.
This brought about some voices of sympathy as well as others who took pleasure in others’ misfortune.

Fortunately, he hadn’t been allowed to obtain victory.
If a demon became the Patriarch of the Yang Family in the future, wouldn’t that be the greatest scandal in this world?
