Walking out from the Bamboo Knot Gang, Yang Kai mounted his colt and started heading back.
Halfway home, he suddenly heard someone call out to him from above.
Looking towards where the voice came from, Yang Kai's eyes eventually fixed on a window of the second floor of a nearby restaurant where his brother Yang Zhao was smiling and waving, "Little Brother Kai, come up here."
Yang Kai had no reason to refuse so he leapt off his Cloud Treading Colt and strode over to the restaurant.
When Yang Kai stepped onto the second floor and entered a private room where Yang Zhao sat, he was immediately greeted by several sharp glances.
"Second Brother," Yang Kai greeted him, quickly sweeping his eyes around, although most of the people present were unfamiliar to him, but from the dress and temperament of these Young Lords and Young Ladies, Yang Kai could immediately judge that their backgrounds weren't small.
Yang Kai glanced over before smiling slightly, "Fifth Brother!"
The Yang Family's younger generation fifth eldest, Yang Kang, was Yang Zhao's blood related brother, Yang Kai naturally recognized him
Yang Kang looked over at Yang Kai but didn't say a word, only nodding his head lightly, his expression neither warm nor cold.
When brothers meet, their interactions should not be this dull. Of course, Yang Kai did not say anything in return to the obvious contempt he was thrown with.
Everyone else in the room stared at Yang Kai with a playful look, seemingly wanted to observe his flustered and embarrassed look, but seeing his completely indifferent expression, all of them couldn't help feeling disappointed.
Yang Zhao on the other hand didn't seem to notice the awkward atmosphere at all, still very enthusiastically introducing Yang Kai to everyone.
These youths here were all children of the Eight Great Families.
Kang Family Kang Zhan, Gao Family Gao Rang Feng, Ye Family Ye Xin Rou. These three were all leaders of the younger generation of their respective families. At this moment, they were meeting with a Yang Family Young Lord, so it was obvious they were intending to participate in the Inheritance War.
The only uncertainty was whose side they would take.
During discussion….
"I heard that your Yang Family's Dragon Transformation Pond could not only cleanse one's body but was also a good place to test one's aptitude, right?" Ye Xin Rou pursed her lips smiled elegantly.
Kang Zhan and Gao Rang Feng also showed interest in this topic, Kang Zhan even interjecting, "I also heard that the longer you stay in it, the better your aptitude is."
Yang Zhao looked at Yang Kai a bit awkwardly before nodding slightly, "What you say isn't wrong, but in fact, it's not that simple. No one can know for certain what a person's aptitude is, so how could a trivial Dragon Transformation Pond really test it?"
"But the shorter one can insist, the worse their aptitude is, that much is true." Yang Kang's face smiled broadly as he stared at Yang Kai. "Little Brother Kai shouldn't worry too much. When we last met I recall you couldn't cultivate at all, yet now I hear you've entered the True Element Boundary. This is already a great fortune for you; one should know how to be content with what they've been given."
"Yes, yes one should know how to be content with what they've been given, not everyone are talented like me" Yang Kai shot back releasing his Immortal ascension cultivation base. Yang Kang shaming him was obvious, how could he not see it?
Yang Kang become shocked yelled "Immortal ascension Boundary!"
It seemed like Yang Kai daring to talk back to him had stunned Yang Kang quite a bit but his cultivation base scared out the shit out of him, the three young children from the Eight Great Families were even more surprised, none of them having expected the Yang Family's youngest to be so overbearing.
After few moment of stillness they come to sense.
Yang Zhao staggered for a moment before letting out a laugh, "Now now, don't fight, the Dragon Transformation Pond is just a puddle of water, the future of my Yang Family can't be decided by something so simple."
"Indeed," Kang Zhan nodded slightly before grinning wryly, "All you Yang Family children are savage tigers. For these past few years the Central Capital's younger generation has been dominated by our seven families, but now that all of you are back, it seems we'll have to surrender the stage."
"Brother Kang is far too modest, the Central Capital is so big, and my Yang Family can't possibly swallow it all. The future here will be shared between all of us."
Gao Rang Feng's brow wrinkled suddenly and asked, "How many of your Yang Family's direct descendants have returned already?"
"Four," Yang Zhao's expression quickly became solemn, "In addition to the three of us, Fourth Brother Yang Xinwu has also returned, but Fourth Brother was seriously injured on the way back, almost killed. Right now the Elders are trying to heal his wounds but I'm not sure what the situation is right now…"
On the way back, all of them had been ambushed by a number of masters, but their luck wasn't bad and they had all managed to return safely, but Yang Xin Wu didn't manage to escape unharmed.
"The tallest tree must face the wind," Yang Zhao smiled helplessly, shaking his head slowly, "But now, the family has sent out more masters to rendezvous with the others so I believe that everyone else shouldn't encounter too much trouble. There was also news that big brother Yang Wei will soon arrive."
Yang Kang's look suddenly turned bitter, obviously somewhat worried about Yang Wei's return.
"It seems the Central Capital is going to be lively again," Ye Xin Rou smiled coyly, "Liu Qing Yao won't be lonely anymore, hehe."
When Ye Xin Rou mentioned Liu Qing Yao, everyone, including Yang Zhao, suddenly wore a dignified expression.
The Liu Family's Liu Qing Yao was the Central Capital's first Young Lord. Although he was still a member of the younger generation, it was rumoured that he had already reached the Immortal Ascension Boundary Third Stage. Such aptitude was difficult to encounter even once in a hundred years. Liu Qing Yao would certainly have an unparalleled influence on the Central Capital for decades to come. For this time's Inheritance War, whoever could win him over would secure themselves a big boost.
"I really hope the Inheritance War will start as soon as possible so we can witness the methods of your Yang Family's descendants!" Kang Zhan smiled sharply, his expression filled with enthusiasm.
"Haha, brothers and sisters…" Yang Zhao smiled heartily, "I'll do my best to not let you down."
Gao Rang Feng nodded, "I only hope when the time comes, if we happen to be on opposite sides, you'll show us some mercy!"
"Likewise!"
As Meeting ended he left from here he don't needed any support from anyone he can always win this game easily but he came here only to show off his cultivation base maybe after seeing his cultivation base they will inform their respected families, he planned a terrible plan to cause havoc before leaving this small world after killing the demon lord.
....................................…
Three days later, Yang Wei, the eldest brother of the Yang Family's younger generation returned to the Central Capital. On the same day, two other Yang Family direct descendants also returned.
Two days after, another returned.
The crisp cries of the Golden Feather Eagles resounded constantly throughout the Central Capital, seemingly announcing the beginning of what would surely be a tumultuous time. The world knew that the Yang Family children had returned home and that the Inheritance War would soon begin.
Upon returning to the Central Capital, the Yang Family Young Lord frequently contacted the Young Lords and Young Ladies of the other seven families, only Yang Kai stood motionless amongst the storm, as if the Inheritance War had nothing to do with him Obliviously!
The ones most solicited by the Yang Family Young Lords were undoubtedly the Liu Family's Liu Qing Yao and the Qiu Family's Qiu Yi Meng. So far, the number of invitations they had received equaled the number of Yang Family Young Lords, minus one of course. But from beginning to end neither of these two took a clear stand about which Yang Family Young Lord they intended to support.
It was rumoured that Liu Qing Yao had only stated that he would only ally himself with someone who could defeat him!
Facing this declaration from an Immortal Ascension Boundary Third Stage master, the Yang Family's Young Lords all couldn't help rolling their eyes.
Of the returning Yang Family direct descendants, only Yang Wei had reached the Immortal Ascension Boundary First Stage, the rest were only True Element Boundary cultivators all except one that no one knew.
The news of Yang Kai being Immortal Ascension Boundary Stage has been suppressed by Bamboo Knot Gang.
But regardless, Liu Qing Yao's strength and aptitude were unquestionable; on top of that, whoever could win him over would also be able to recruit the Liu Family.
With such a big boost available, all the Yang Family Young Lords were obviously anxious to recruit him, but unfortunately, none of them could meet his condition, the depression they felt was apparent.
But next day word that Liu Qing Yao has actually supported Yang Family's Youngest Son! Yang Kai!
As for Qiu Yi Meng, she hadn't said a word, but the Yang Family Young Lord who contacted her could clearly see she had no interest in partnering with them. They also didn't dare press her too hard, so all of them could only give up temporarily and try again later.
................................
The Fourth Master's Residence.
When Yang Kai returned from witnessing the old Chinese type of town he liked it pretty muchs, the head servant immediately greeted him, "Young Master, the Master has instructed you to see him in his study upon your return."
"En, understood." Yang Kai nodded, walking over to his father's study, pondering slightly. He couldn't think of why the Fourth Master suddenly wanted to discuss something with him.
As he came up to the study door, before he could enter, he heard Dong Su Zhu's voice, "You shouldn't worry, Kai'er should be back soon."
Yang Ying Feng suddenly complained, "You're his mother, how come you didn't know your son had left the house?"
Dong Su Zhu shot back immediately, "You didn't know either! How can you suddenly try to blame others? Don't speak so unreasonably!"
Yang Ying Feng's face cramped up before drooping helplessly.
Two other voices let out a soft laughter at this familiar sight.
Yang Kai expression immediately changed upon hearing these voices, a smile appearing on his face, pushing the door open and walking in.
Seeing Yang Kai return, Dong Su Zhu quickly stood up and gnashed her teeth in anger, shouting, "Little brat, where did you run off to last night? Actually staying out all night without saying a word to us, do you know how worried your father and I were?"
As she spoke, Dong Su Zhu walked over to her son and gently sniffed him.
"What are you sniffing for?" The Yang Family Fourth Master asked suspiciously.
"To see whether he was out drinking last night!" Dong Su Zhu said seriously, sniffing for a while longer before wearing a relieved expression, "Fortunately there's no smell of alcohol, or any perfume…"
"Don't make trouble!" Yang Kai's Father said helplessly, glancing to the side, "We have guests after all."
"Oh…"
In the study, the Yang Family Fourth Master was sitting behind his desk while Dong Su Zhu stood nearby, but in addition, there was also a man and a woman sitting nearby. The male was burly while the woman was refined, it was the two Blood Warriors who had escorted Yang Kai back to the Central Capital, Tu Feng and Tang Yu Xian.
When they saw Yang Kai walk in they quickly got up from their chairs and cupped their fists to him, "Little Lord!"
Yang Kai smiled in response, "Sit down."
Tu Feng and Tang Yu Xian both took a seat once again but when they looked at Yang Kai they couldn't help feeling amazed seeing his calm expression and couldn't help those miraculous deeds that he had done that after coming here.
After coming he has already suppress the Bamboo Knot Gang, defeated the Liu Qing Yao and gain the support of the Liu Family, also that he has already broken through Immortal ascension peak.
The more they knew the more shocked they became.
"Kai'er, you sit too," The Yang Family Fourth Master quickly said, "There are some things we need to discuss with you."
"En." Yang Kai also sat down with Dong Su Zhu.
Once everyone was seated again, silence filled the room. Yang Ying Feng's brow furrowed after a while and finally said, "First off, let me tell you that yesterday, the Elder Hall released an edict about the upcoming Inheritance War. It's good news, for this Inheritance War, the Blood Warrior Hall will be involved!"
Yang Kai's brow just lifted slightly, not caring much
The Blood Warrior Hall was the headquarters for all the Yang Family Blood Warriors. Each member was an elite amongst elite, all of them basically high-level Immortal Ascension Boundary masters who could even fight against cultivators who exceeded them by a minor realm.
With the participation of the Blood Warriors, it would be a lot easier to win the Inheritance War.
Yang Ying Feng continued, "But the Elder Hall has also decreed that although the Blood Warriors will participate in the Inheritance War, their mission will be limited to safeguarding the security of the Young Lords and cannot be used for other matters."
"I understand," Yang Kai nodded.
Yang Ying Feng said, "The condition for obtaining a Blood Warrior is that you must deliver a certain amount of benefits to the family, for example, the Secret Arts and Martial Skills you learned in the Sect these past few years!"
"The more things you contribute, the stronger and more powerful the Blood Warrior you can receive!"
"Additionally, everyone may only receive two Blood Warriors!" Yang Ying Feng added.
"Will the family accept pills?" Yang Kai grinned, "I can concoct many miraculous pills"
Yang Ying Feng suddenly remembered the he was an also a alchemist in his previous life and seen the miraculous effects of them.
Those were too Heaven defying, if Yang Kai were to offer it, he would definitely be able to exchange it for the help of two Blood Warriors, but such a miraculous treasure wouldn't be ignored by the family, which would in all likelihood bring Yang Kai a great deal of trouble. As a father, Yang Ying Feng was naturally worried.
However, Yang Kai simply shook his head.
"You don't have to worry about that Father, I'm already prepared," Yang Kai smiled confidently.
Yang Ying Feng calmed then nodded.
Seeing his confident look, Dong Su Zhu felt proud, knowing that her son had really grown up, with his own thoughts and opinions.
