Chapter 555 – Decision to Leave

Although Old Demon’s words give the impression that he was intentionally playing innocent, anyone present could tell he was speaking the truth.

When the Ye Family’s square faced Grand Elder fell to the ground, Meng Wu Ya, Ling Tai Xu, and Old Demon were still fighting high up above and had only returned to the ground after noticing the strange commotion.

The three of them never had an opportunity to do this, nor did anyone believe they possessed such a means of silently killing such a master, or else there would have been no need for them to agree to fight in the first place.

An Above Immortal Ascension Boundary master suddenly and inexplicably dying was an event momentous enough to shake the world itself. The masters from the Eight Great Families no longer had thoughts of seeking trouble with Yang Kai tonight.

This mysterious death of the Ye Family’s Grand Elder made everyone present nervous and uncertain about their security.

An unseen enemy silently being able to kill an Above Immortal Ascension Boundary master would undoubtedly be able to kill anyone here without them being able to resist.

“Many thanks for your hospitality regarding tonight’s matters.” Yang Li Ting glanced over at Meng Wu Ya, Ling Tai Xu, and Old Demon, faintly saying, “In the future, I hope you will offer us your guidance once more.”

Delivering this nondescript message, he picked up the body of the Ye Family Grand Elder and flew towards the Seal Temple with the six other old men.

Meng Wu Ya and the other two masters didn’t move to block them, their display of strength tonight was only to secure Yang Kai’s safety.

“Collect our fallen comrades. We’re leaving.” Ye Xin Rou ordered the remaining members of the seven family coalitions in an absent minded voice.

Although all seven families had suffered losses during tonight’s operation, the biggest loser was definitely her Ye Family.

An Above Immortal Ascension Boundary inexplicably dying was a devastating blow to the Ye Family.

Soon, the fresh corpses of their allies were gathered and the invaders who had arrived in high spirits retreated into the night.

“What exactly happened?” Meng Wu Ya muttered, even he was confused as to how the square faced old man had suddenly died. As he asked this question, his eyes unconsciously drifted towards Yang Kai.

“Why are you looking at me?” Yang Kai said, “I didn’t do anything.”

This response made many people grin and chuckle under their breath.

While the Little Lord had many profound and mysterious methods, astonishing aptitude and potential, and could repeatedly create miracles, silently killing an Above Immortal Ascension Boundary master was definitely beyond his abilities.

“I didn’t say it was you, stop acting so sensitive.” Meng Wu Ya rolled his eyes while in his head suddenly thinking of something.

If Yang Kai didn’t just deny responsibility, Meng Wu Ya would probably have never considered him as the culprit. Just now though, Yang Kai’s response seemed to only be a subconscious act, but the very fact he felt the need to deny involvement made Meng Wu Ya suspicious.

[Was this matter… really related to this little brat?] Meng Wu Ya was suddenly confused.

“We should also attend to our fallen.” Yang Kai said solemnly as he swept his eyes across the battlefield.

His allied forces all quickly dispatched some members to recover the corpses of their dead cultivators.

As the sky began to brighten slightly, the night’s fierce battle finally came to an end. Although it felt somewhat anticlimactic, with such an important even suddenly happening, there was really no choice but to temporarily cease hostilities.

However, after tonight’s battle, everyone in Yang Kai’s house realized one important truth.

The current situation was even more serious than what Yang Kai had anticipated. In other words, Yang Kai was in no way being an alarmist when he had previous warned them and may have actually been underestimating the severity of the current predicament.

He had really become enemies with the Central Capital Eight Great Families!

On top of that, the dispute was serious enough to force multiple Above Immortal Ascension Boundary masters to intervene.

What skill or ability did Yang Kai possess in order to actually let the Central Capital’s super forces make such a move? Why did the Yang Family remain silent, completely disregarding Yang Kai’s existence?

None of them knew the answer to these questions, but all of them now realized the seriousness of the problem.

After a day of recuperation, many people not only showed no signs of recovering, but instead were even more distressed. The previous night’s battle had caused substantial damage. The death of multiple Immortal Ascension Boundary masters, for these forces, was a huge loss.

Everyone couldn’t help feeling a nervous and low-spirited.

Inside Treasurer Meng’s room, Yang Kai met with Meng Wu Ya, Ling Tai Xu and Old Demon to discuss the future.

“Little Yang Kai, what are your plans?” Meng Wu Ya, whose cultivation had returned to the Peak Immortal Ascension Boundary, asked seriously.

Last night, both he and Old Demon hadn’t received much, if any damage, but today the two of them seemed somewhat listless.

“I’m going to leave here,” Yang Kai smiled forcefully and shook his head, “This place can’t accommodate me anymore.”

Meng Wu Ya nodded lightly, “You should have left long ago. Since
