"I heard that Yang Rai was married. Perhaps something happened to his woman?"
"That's right Hei He isn't here. And Lan Xun isn't either. Send someone to the Star boundary to find out what happened and report back."
Yang rai had finally hit the bastards enough to the point Zhou Quan Hui had to retreat. However, the other 2 didn't and these were the only 2 he was really after. Yang Rai went down to tell his brother what happened. It was a quick exchange of information from Knowledge Sea to Knowledge Sea. The moment Yang Kai got this he put his hand on Yang Rai's shoulder as if to say I'm sorry. Before rushing off.
Yin Xin Zhao and Pei Wen Xuan were hit with a special ability that slows the speed of someone's small universe and wrapped in space principles that practically burn away a sizable portion of the strength of their worlds. This kind of ability is incredibly effective against Open Heaven realms. Even more so effective when they aren't aware of it ahead of time. Now that Yang Rai has captured the culprits he was going to have some fun with them.
After Yang Kai left to chase after Zuo Quan Hui, Yang Rai stayed behind in the Star Boundary. He kept an eye on the two vagrants. He oh so wanted to kill them but he had a much better idea in the works. He kept using his ability to weaken their universes. He had dropped their rank to the lowest of rank 4. Well below the level where he would need to try against them. Not only that Yang Rai was the only person even capable of restoring their universe worlds.
Now to an Open Heaven realm cultivator any damage done to their universe damages the person. So every time he hit them it was more excruciating than enduring through decades of constant torture. He managed to break their willpower. The two of them became increasingly more compliant after enduring that much shear excruciating agony.
"So, have you learned your lesson yet?"
"Yes, we have. Yang Rai's methods are profound. We were wrong."
"We can help treat the ladies' injuries. Will that be enough?"
"Enough? Oh no, not even close."
"What?"
"You killed my unborn child and crippled my wife from conceiving."
"Oh."
"Yeah you really fucked up."
"Well, I'll let you think about what you could do to make up for this. Oh and just a warning for you since I'm a nice person. Don't think for a second I won't kill you. You better hope that your masters have the means to pay the fine."
The sight of 2 core disciples being imprisoned in cells for doing a truly wicked deed. That is what Yang Rai saw for quite some time. Until the war with Zuo Quan Hui was over at least. Yue He, came down to fetch Yang Rai and the prisoners.
