Yang Feng used his Void Step and instantly arrived next to Yang Kai who was standing on the roof of the Mansion, facing a figure that was obstructed by a black shadow.
Yang Feng's abrupt arrival stunned the two, especially the shadowed figure. As Yang Feng glanced at the figure, even he couldn't completely see past the shadow that covered it. 'hmm, so she's using an artifact which should at least be a Peak Mid-Spirit grade one.'
He concluded this because he could tell that her cultivation wasn't high compared to him, but having reached 8th stage Immortal Ascension Realm, so considering her background and strength she couldn't use a technique with level High enough to have this effect on him.
With Yang Feng's arrival, the figure felt that the situation was getting out of hand and tried to escape. But before it could even attempt to do so, a pressure was placed on it before it felt a chop at the back of it's neck, causing it to fall unconscious.
Yang Kai looked at Yang Feng who was standing behind the fallen shadowy figure and asked with a raised eyebrow, "is there something about this figure that I should be cautious of?"
He asked this because the figure's method of concealment and strength was quite high, even he was only able to slightly feel it's presence. But most of all, this figure was capable of making Yang Feng take action while he had said that would only intervene when he deemed important.
Yang Kai thought who the figure was and who among his cousins were capable of hiring someone like this figure.
Yang Feng shook his head and said, "this person isn't here because of the inheritance war, As for .... Nevermind that, just know that it's not one of our cousin's person. The rest, I'll tell you later on."
With a light sigh, Yang Feng took the figure, noticing that the shadow covering it was becoming illusionary, to meet Meng Wu Ya. When he arrived to his room Meng Wu Ya was sitting cross-legged on his bed.
"Old Man, we have a guest.", Meng Wu Ya opened his eyes and looked at Yang Feng with a raised brow before looking at the figure in his hand. By now the shadow had become more illusionary and would disappear in a few breaths. As he did, his expressions changed slightly, not because of the now visible girl but at the shadow that was quickly fading, recognizing the aura of a high level artifact, "Yes, she's carrying an artifact which is atleast Mid-Spirit Grade."
"She's from Tong Xuan Realm?", Meng Wu Ya asked as he knew no one in this world could make such an artifact, not to mention that the materials wouldn't even be available for it to be made. Yang Feng nodded and asked him to take care of the girl and told him to not let her leave when she wakes up.
After that Yang Feng again went back to his cultivation, not before visiting both Xia Ning Chang and Su Yan(which turned into a few days long visit). As he cultivated, his knowledge of the space laws grew noticably, but he still didn't have much success in what he wanted to do.
By now it was obvious to him that he might not be able to find Tong Xuan Realm's coordinates by himself, atleast not before the Demon War begins fully.
One day, when he was cultivating, someone knocked at the door of his room. Hearing the hurried knock Yang Feng opened his eyes and said, "come inside."
Hearing his words, the door opened and Yang Kai stepped in with a severe and near murderous look on his face, but looked to still be holding himself. Seeing him like this Yang Feng's face also shifted as well. He asked Yang Kai in a serious tone, "What happened?"
Yang Kai replied with venom in his voice, "those bastards from Xiang and Nan family attacked a few people from the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Lands who were coming to help me in the war, when I sent a few people to help, they used poison and took them hostage as well."
Yang Feng looked at him with the same look and said, "and?", Yang Feng knew that this was not all as Yang Kai could still handle it himself. "Among the people who they took hostage is Hu Jiao'er and from what's reported to me ... She's gravely injured."
At his last words, Yang Feng felt a great amount of Bloodlust seep out of Yang Kai and he wasn't much better as well. Everyone close to the two brothers knew that their Family were their reverse scales and now the Xiang and Nan family had done that exact thing, the outcome would definitely be BLOODY!
Yang Feng simply told him, "do what you want, I'll take care of the rest.", his tone heavy. Yang Kai who heard this stopped holding himself back, he didn't say anything and without any care flew off towards the place.
Once Yang Kai left with many following behind him and Yang Feng was a bit calm, he thought with narrowed eyes, 'looks like those Xiang and Nan family young masters are bound to die by Yang Kai's hands.'
He then stood up and sent a message to Su Yan, Xia Ning Chang and Meng Wu Ya to meet him outside. Su Yan, Xia Ning Chang, Meng Wu Ya and Shui ling, who Yang Feng had met after she woke up and Xia Ning Chang had agreed to help the poor girl get back to Tong Xuan Realm, also came outside their own rooms and asked him what had happened.
When he told them Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang were furious like him as they two saw Hu sisters as family. He then told Meng Wu Ya to be ready in case things escalated to which Meng Wu Ya nodded. With that Yang Feng left the Mansion with Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang following him.
Once everything was done, nearly every member had left the mansion and headed towards Yang Zhao's territory, where the hostages were taken to. This big movement alerted everyone, well at least those who were paying attention because right at the moment, everyone's focus was on Yang Kai who was performing a slaughter at Yang Zhao's Mansion.
When they reached there, many corpses laid on the ground, mostly of the people from Xiang and Nan family, painting the ground in red. In the center stood Yang Kai, who was fighting .... better to say slaughtering people left and right with Yang Zhao trying to unsuccessfully stop him, with his two blood warriors, who were fighting against Yang Zhao's blood warriors.
Nobody knew about the three's arrival and things played out like Yang Feng remembered. Suddenly Yang Feng felt something. He turned his head and saw Yang Kai who looked to be holding himself but couldn't, he then suddenly said while pointing at Xiang family young master, "Brother, kill that guy!"
From what Yang Feng felt, he knew what was happening. Sighing to himself Yang Feng looked towards the surviving young master of Xiang family and waved his hand, causing a Qi blade to split his body in two.
This action got everyone to notice the three who were standing on the roof of a building. Everyone, especially Yang Zhao was surprised to see him as he hadn't shown up till now. but the surprise died down in an instant as fear and bitterness consumed him. from what he knew, when Yang Feng came back to the Capital his cultivation was 8th stage immortal Ascension Realm (Yang Feng hadn't displayed his full cultivation till now).
and the reason for his fear was not only Yang Feng, the reason was he felt that the two women standing next to him had the same powerful auras as Yang Feng, which was higher when compared to his Blood Warriors.
Although everyone was looking at them, Yang Feng, Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang were unbothered by it and instead looked at Yang Kai who was in the sky. Still looking at Yang Kai, Yang Feng said to the two girls, "go and find the hostages and treat them, I'll stand guard."
The two nodded before disappearing from the rooftop. By now all the fighting had stopped as everyone's gaze shifted towards Yang Kai in the Sky. As Yang Feng looked at Yang Kai, he wondered what would happen this time now that Yang Kai didn't have the skeleton.
As the breakthrough really begun, the entire War City was engulfed in dark clouds. Yang Feng noticed this and thought, 'the strength of the breakthrough hadn't decreased even with him not having the skeleton, the dragon source and the lotus.... If all this is happening as it should.... He wouldn't have a chance of falling to the devil path, right?'
This was his only concern as he couldn't do anything to help him if things went south. Also if that happened, the eight old man of the eight clans will take action. Though he didn't mind kicking their asses. Just as his thought ended, lightning struck Yang Kai.
For the next few minutes, the thunder struck him occasionally but nothing bad that Yang Feng thought happened. 'It's good for things to be like this, otherwise if another body like the demon god's body had remained, things would be ALOT more complicated later on.'
During the breakthrough Yang Zhao was thinking about intervening but discarded the thought as he looked at the people surrounding him. When the battle ended, Yang Kai flew down to the ground and landed in front of Yang Zhao.
By now Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang had already found the hostages and we're treating them. Yang Zhao looking around in uncertainty. Yang Kai's talent had still thrown him in a spiral of disbelief even through this time it went smoothly, the scale was simply too big for people of this world.
The average size of tribulation for people breaking through to the Immortals Ascension Realm would be about 1/10 of War City. It was good that he didn't knew about Yang Feng's breakthrough to the Immortal Ascension Realm which covered an area AT LEAST 10 - 15 times the War City.
After that everyone from Yang Kai's Mansion left. While leaving, Yang Feng looked at two specific place, along with Su Yan and Xia Ning Chang, the three had sensed three groups peeping on them, one being Meng Wu Ya who stayed behind to protect Yang Kai's flag, one being Ling Taixu and the other being the great elders of the Eight Great Clans.
Once they reached the mansion, Meng Wu Ya left to visit Ling Taixu as he had also felt his presence, while the others went back to their works. But this slaughter was not without consequences as the two families asked the Yang Clan for an explanation, considering their heirs were killed by one of their Young Lord.
