As the Star Master of Fire Cloud Star and a 3rd order Origin King Realm, Chi Huo could be said to be standing at the peak of the Star Field. Cultivating any further would be meaningless, so from five hundred years ago, Chi Huo began indulging in pleasure, drinking wine, and enjoying beauties.
Today’s concubine was only a 1st order Origin Returning Stage cultivator, but her beauty was extraordinary.
Most cultivators didn’t bother with formalities. In the main hall, Chi Huo and the bride were both dressed in bright red robes, sitting side by side. The guests from all over the hall were all celebrating, and when they came up to offer a toast, they also offered generous gifts, flattering and causing Chi Huo to laugh loudly.
The bride sat still with a faint smile on her face, exuding a dignified and magnanimous aura. Many women secretly pointed at her, their words filled with envy and jealousy, thinking that she had climbed up the social ladder and become a phoenix.
It was a 2nd order Origin King Realm master’s turn to offer a toast. Chi Huo, who was holding a cup of wine, suddenly raised his head and stared into the distance, his eyes seemingly able to pierce through space as he wore a solemn expression.
The hall instantly fell silent as everyone’s eyes focused on him.
Chi Huo put down his wine cup and called out, “Which friend has come to visit? Chi Huo has failed to welcome you from afar, so I would like to invite honored guests to have a chat.”
His words shocked everyone present.
They had never seen Sir Chi Huo act so politely before. His cultivation had reached the peak, and he was also the Star Master of Fire Cloud Star. It could be said that he was in charge of the lives and deaths of billions of cultivators on this Star, so even a 3rd order Origin King Realm would have to lower their stance in front of him.
Who could have received such solemn treatment from Lord Chi Huo? Who could have such qualifications?
Just as they were puzzled, they heard an extremely unfamiliar voice say, “Sure.”
They couldn’t help having a strange feeling. Although they hadn’t seen the person who had spoken, his response was simply too presumptuous, simply not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth. Facing Star Master Chi Huo, he didn’t have the least bit of respect.
The lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly cooled down as everyone wore strange expressions.
Yang Kai’s figure flashed like a bolt of lightning as he crossed the three thousand kilometer Flame Mountain, his target being the towering Flame Palace.
Suddenly, a shout came from below, “Sir, may I trouble you to bring me along!”
Yang Kai looked down and saw a man standing atop a black rock. The surrounding magma was boiling, the temperature was scorching, and the environment was extremely dangerous.
This person was only a 2nd order Origin Returning Stage cultivator and was quite young, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. His face was square and his clothes were ragged, he must have suffered quite a bit on his way here. His exposed skin also showed signs of being scalded by magma, and the Saint Qi protecting his body was even dimmer, as if it could collapse at any moment.
As Chi Huo’s residence, this three thousand kilometer Flame Mountain was not something an ordinary person could trespass on. If a 2nd order Origin Returning Stage cultivator didn’t have any guidance, they would only die here.
However, he didn’t retreat. Although he was in a miserable state, his eyes were filled with determination, as if even if Yang Kai didn’t agree, he would charge into the Fire Palace and die without complaint.
“You called me?” Yang Kai stopped and glanced at him.
“Sir, please take me with you, Cui Mengyuan can’t thank you enough!” The young man bowed deeply. Although his face was covered in dirt, his etiquette was impeccable. It was obvious he had received a good education.
“Why should I bring you along?” Yang Kai grinned, “What benefits?”
Cui Mengyuan shook his head, “Other than my own life, this Cui has nothing else.”
Yang Kai curled his lips, “Your life is worthless in my eyes.”
Cui Mengyuan’s eyes darkened as he sighed lightly and no longer tried to force the issue. He lifted his body and was about to fly away when the surrounding magma suddenly transformed into a living creature, condensing into a fiery python and biting towards him.
Cui Mengyuan’s heart sank, knowing that he would die without a doubt, so he simply didn’t resist, only glancing towards the Flame Palace.
The scorching heat was suddenly swept away, and the pain he had imagined did not come. Cui Mengyuan was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had been saved, and the surrounding Fire Pythons that had pounced towards him had turned into magma and fallen.
Looking up at Yang Kai gratefully, he said, “Many thanks, Sir.”
“Fine, since fate has brought us together today, I’ll take you along!” Yang Kai grinned as he grabbed Cui Mengyuan by the collar and lifted him up like a little chick. In an instant, the surrounding scenery rapidly receded.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at Flame Mountain.
After being dropped by Yang Kai, he still hadn’t recovered from his shock. Just as he was about to thank him again, he saw Yang Kai stride towards Flame Palace, grit his teeth, and follow him closely.
The door to the palace was wide open and the interior was filled with a dazzling and luxurious atmosphere.
As Yang Kai walked in, many pairs of eyes stared at him from all directions, filled with faint hostility.
Above them, a burly man with red hair and a red beard sat like an iron tower, wearing a red robe, like a flame that could burn the world.
His pair of red eyes were like two dazzling lanterns, flashing with a terrifying light.
Cui Mengyuan flashed out from behind Yang Kai and stared at the bride beside Chi Huo with a complicated expression.
Although his words were soft, they couldn’t escape Yang Kai’s ears.
The bride’s tender body also trembled, but she quickly lowered her eyes and returned to normal.
Chi Huo and Yang Kai’s eyes met. One was aggressive while the other was calm and profound. An invisible force seemed to collide in the hall, causing the atmosphere to become extremely tense.
Suddenly, Chi Huo let out a loud laugh and stretched out his hand to grasp the hand of the bride beside him, “Today is a joyous occasion for this King, but an honored guest has actually come to visit. This is truly a joyous occasion, may I ask what honored guest’s name is?”
Although he was just asking, he still sat up straight and looked down on Cui Mengyuan, treating him like nothing.
Yang Kai smiled slightly, “A name is just a name, there’s no need to mention it. Today, I came uninvited because I have something to trouble Brother Chi with.”
Chi Huo’s eyes narrowed as he lightly said, “If there’s anything you want to say, let’s talk about it after today. Today is the joy of this Chi receiving concubine. If Little Brother doesn’t mind, you can stay and drink some wine.”
He turned around to ask, but he didn’t receive a response, causing him to feel somewhat unhappy. He felt that this young man was too arrogant and didn’t have the mood to say anything to him. Moreover, this young man actually called him Brother Chi? Wasn’t this a bit too presumptuous? Did he really think that just giving him some face would allow him to speak to him as an equal? The reason why he didn’t directly drive him away was because he had faintly felt Yang Kai’s strength. On top of that, he was overjoyed today and didn’t want to experience any difficulties in his life.
If it was any other time, with his temper, how could he possibly endure this?
Calling Yang Kai ‘little brother’ also gave him a sense of superiority.
Originally, he thought Yang Kai would listen to him, but he unexpectedly shook his head and said, “This matter is very important. Although I’m not in a hurry, the sooner I deal with it, the better. Brother Chi, please forgive me.”
Chi Huo’s expression suddenly sank.
He and Yang Kai didn’t know each other, so there was no enmity between them. It was just that he didn’t like Yang Kai’s arrogance, so he didn’t want to make a move. However, if this guy wanted a yard after taking an inch, he didn’t mind adding some color to the Flame Palace.
In a low voice, he said, “Is that so? Then why don’t you tell me what is so important?”
Yang Kai said solemnly, “It concerns the peace of this Star Field!”
Chi Huo was stunned for a moment before his laughter resounded like thunder, causing many of the guests to burst into laughter, their voices filled with ridicule.
For a cultivator to suddenly stand up and say that something related to the peace of this Star Field, it was impossible to not laugh, like a frog telling them that the sky was falling.
The guests here were all clever people and had long since noticed the change in Chi Huo’s attitude. Seeing Yang Kai act like this, how could they endure it? One of the old men with a goatee shook his head and said, “Boy, this is Flame Palace, not a place where you can speak without thinking. Go back to where you came from. Senior Chi Huo is in a good mood today, so he probably won’t hold it against you.”
“That’s right, little brat, quickly scram, don’t delay our toast.”
“Sir Chi Huo was so polite to him, but he’s actually a crazy person. How laughable.”
“This Star Field has been peaceful for a long time, how dare you try to deceive everyone!”
…
All kinds of ridicule flew past Yang Kai’s ears, but he remained unmoved, only frowning as he stared at Chi Huo and asked, “Brother Chi, did you seal off all information? Why?”
These guests didn’t seem to know anything about what had happened in the Star Field over the past few years and were actually saying that they had been at peace for a long time. Could it be that they didn’t want to communicate with the outside world? Thinking back to the barrier he had just encountered on Fire Cloud Star, Yang Kai immediately understood that it wasn’t that they didn’t want to communicate with the outside world, but rather that the Star Master had sealed everything.
They were unable to obtain any information from the outside world.
Turning his head to look at the goatee, he asked, “Does Senior know about the Great Desolate Star Field and the Underworld Sect?”
The goateed man frowned, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
“Where did this crazy brat come from? His crazy words make others unhappy. Lord Chi Huo, please allow me to throw him out,” Someone said indignantly. This was supposed to be a good banquet, but now that this little brat had come, they had lost the opportunity to flatter him, so naturally they were unhappy.
“Why did Brother Chi do this?” Yang Kai looked at Chi Huo in confusion.
Solitary? If that was the case, it would be too ridiculous. If Heng Luo Star Field fell, how could a single Fire Cloud Star resist?
Chi Huo lightly replied, “It has nothing to do with you.”
Yang Kai thought about it for a moment before nodding, “You’re right.” What was the point of caring so much about other people’s affairs? However, he still nodded, “Brother Chi, you don’t have to do this. The Great Desolate Star Field and Underworld Sect have been on the decline for the past two years. The cultivators of my Star Field have won many battles and killed countless enemies, but the war is not over yet. If Brother Chi is interested, you can help them. I believe that with the help of everyone on Fire Cloud Star, the war will quickly end.”
Chi Huo grinned, “Why don’t you go help them?”
Yang Kai said, “I have more important matters to attend to, which is why I came here today.”
“This King wants to know what’s more important.”
Yang Kai said solemnly, “Brother Chi, please lend me something!”
“Borrow what?” Chi Huo asked.
What a joke. All of the guests here had come with gifts, so it was one thing if Yang Kai didn’t have a gift, but he actually wanted to borrow something. Chi Huo’s heart was already filled with killing intent. If Yang Kai dared to say something that made him unhappy, he would definitely act.
“This Star Source!” Yang Kai pointed to the ground beneath his feet.
