Chapter 316 You Dare to Foole the Demon Lord's Divine Thoughts
Ye Kang ignored her and simply looked into the distance.
What do you think of this place?
"What do you mean?"
Xia Ningyan frowned.
"Given your status, you're nothing but a stray dog in the Great Jin Dynasty. His Majesty won't allow you to live. If those reclusive palace officials come to kill you, do you think you can escape?"
Xia Ningyan gritted her teeth, unable to refute, and asked suspiciously, "You want me to stay in the secret realm?"
"Isn't that good? The secret passage is closed. No one else can enter except me. You can stay here and cultivate in seclusion."
"How can this be! If that happens... wouldn't I become your kept canary...?"
Xia Ningyan became increasingly powerless as she spoke.
Because she realized that she really didn't have a better choice now?
The Gu Clan's Grand Elder is dead, and her identity can no longer be kept secret. Under heaven, who would give her a place to hide?
Although this secret realm is empty, it is rich in spiritual energy. If one can stay here, it is indeed the safest place.
But she still didn't quite trust Ye Kang and asked, "The secret realm will kick people out, how can I stay here forever?"
"Give it a try, come with me."
Ye Kang flew away, heading straight for the Yin Saint Demon Lord's palace.
Xia Ningyan quickly followed, and the two flew to the front of the black palace. Ye Kang looked up and waved his hand to break the restrictions on the palace.
Previously, due to my low cultivation level, I could see nothing when looking down from above.
But things are different now. With the cultivation level of the Lotus Realm, it is clear that a formation is slowly operating.
Ye Kang now has a thorough understanding of formations.
He had studied the mystical formations, especially these ancient formations, which he found incredibly familiar with.
The array masters of this era might not recognize it or be able to decipher it, but Ye Kang, relying on the Xuanmen array deciphering method, could immediately discover the key points.
With a thought, he sent several jade tablets flying up, slightly shifting the array's core.
He couldn't break Yin Shengmojun's formation, but he could still make slight modifications.
After all, this is just someone else's bedroom; it's impossible to say that it's set up with some kind of profound and dangerous formation.
Who would do that in their own sleeping place?
Sure enough, as the array's core shifted, the palace slowly revealed its full appearance, with the balcony on top fully exposed.
The two flew directly up and landed in the Baozhi Garden, which Ye Kang had drained most of.
"How could this place be like this! It seems that many precious plants were planted here, but they were forcibly absorbed by someone!"
Xia Ningyan was completely bewildered.
Ye Kang didn't explain, and strode into Yin Sheng Mo Jun's room, where he saw the portrait hanging on the wall again.
"Senior Demon Lord, please forgive this junior for disturbing you."
Following the logic of the Xuanmen array solution, Ye Kang took out several spirit crystals and placed them into the picture frame.
The portrait, which had already faded, suddenly regained its brilliance.
The person in the portrait blinked in surprise, then stared at Ye Kang.
"It's you again? You've learned the Azure Sea Slash?"
Xia Ningyan was so shocked that she backed away repeatedly.
To be able to leave a complete wisp of martial arts divine thought in a portrait, how powerful must this person's cultivation be!
Ye Kang respectfully said, "Thank you for bestowing this technique upon me, senior. The Cangming Slash is exquisite, but I have only grasped less than one or two tenths of its essence."
The portrait waved its hand: "It doesn't matter, it was just a casual slash, a little trick I came up with on a whim. Why bother learning it so well?"
Ye Kang's teeth hurt a little.
What he considered his signature move was nothing more than a casual chop in the eyes of others.
He steadied himself and said, “Senior, I have a favor to ask. I see that the environment here has been severely damaged by outside martial artists, especially the vegetation, which is in a mess. If this continues, the secret realm will definitely be in chaos. Therefore, I have taken the liberty of finding a gardener for you to take care of this precious land.”
Ye Kang looked at Xia Ningyan, who pointed to herself in disbelief.
"I?"
Xia Ningyan thought Ye Kang was probably crazy, not because he dared to deceive the Demon Lord's divine sense, but because she thought it was ridiculous for him to say these things to a portrait.
But to her surprise, the Yin Saint Demon Lord in the portrait actually stroked his chin and looked thoughtful.
“That makes sense. Although it’s an abandoned place that we will never return to, we have lived there for so many years and we must have some memories. If it continues to be abandoned like this, the original body will feel sorry for it.”
"You actually believe that?!"
Xia Ningyan roared inwardly.
Today's events made her feel like her worldview had collapsed.
Yin Shengmojun nodded, clapped his hands, and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness. In that case, I will trouble Miss Gardener to look after this place for a while."
With a casual wave of his hand, a faint array of spiritual light landed on Xia Ningyan.
Even with the help of the Xuanmen Formation, Ye Kang couldn't understand what kind of technique this was, but there was one thing he knew.
That means Xia Ningyan can now stay inside like the native creatures in the secret realm.
He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, senior. Rest assured, this gardener is an expert in tending flowers, plants and trees. He will definitely bring your precious land back to life."
"Not bad, not bad, you've put in the effort. I can't let your efforts go to waste, so I'll give you another cut."
Before Ye Kang could even react, a sudden inspiration struck him.
He returned to the endless sea depicted in the portrait, standing amidst the towering waves.
This time, however, the Yin Saint Demon Lord was not standing in front of him, but opposite him.
"What! The one who got slashed was me!"
Ye Kang immediately realized what was happening and looked down to find that he had become a giant sea beast!
Yin Shengmojun, on the other hand, had a stern face, made two fingers together like a sword, and swung them diagonally.
The all-too-familiar Cangming slashed down, but it was aimed straight at him.
The terrifying killing intent of the vast ocean instantly covered the sky, and Ye Kang felt that the world had turned black and white.
Before he could even react, he had already been hacked to death.
"don't want!!!"
In the room, Ye Kang woke up in a cold sweat, his legs went weak, and he fell backward.
Xia Ningyan quickly reached out to support her, her eyes full of strangeness.
"Touch porcelain?"
"..."
Ye Kang looked at the portrait with lingering fear. The Yin Saint Demon Lord's divine sense had disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
"It seems that the senior saw through my thoughts and punished me on purpose."
Ye Kang shook his head and smiled bitterly, his face still as pale as paper.
I absorbed all the insights I had just gained in that flash of inspiration.
A system voice then sounded.
【Ding】
[The host has a flash of inspiration and senses the killing intent of the Azure Sea]
[Congratulations, host, on successfully mastering the Azure Sea Slash to the minor level.]
……
Without spending any comprehension points, I achieved minor success directly.
Ye Kang was both surprised and delighted.
Just what kind of being is this Yin Saint Demon Lord? He can provide me with such great assistance with just a wisp of divine thought.
Ye Kang suppressed his excitement and bowed deeply to the portrait once again.
"Alright, you can stay here now. Go find a cave to live in, and don't forget to do your job as a gardener."
Ye Kang shook his head and turned to leave.
Xia Ningyan became anxious.
"No! That's it? What did you just do? Where are we? What are you going to do now?!"
