MARTIAL PEAK 5951

Yang Kai recalled the idle chatter of the people under the banyan tree. It seemed this child was the Little Eleven Mu had picked up.

Looking at the boy hiding behind Mu, Yang Kai couldn't help shaking his head and walking forward.

"Junior, success or failure depends on this. The future of the Human Race depends on you," Mu's voice suddenly came from behind.

Yang Kai didn't even turn around and simply waved his hand, "Senior only needs to wait for good news."

Like an invisible beast, the curtain of night gradually swallowed his figure.

"Sixth Sister, who is he?" The little boy asked.

Mu lifted her hand and rubbed his head, replying softly, "A friend from afar."

"But for some reason, I hate him!" The little boy frowned, "Seeing him makes me want to hit him."

Mu lectured, "It's not right to hit someone."

The little boy muttered, "Fine, next time he comes, I'll go out and play instead of seeing him!"

Mu smiled lightly.

The little boy had been fooling around for a long time, but now he couldn't help yawning, "Sixth Sister, I want to sleep."

Mu bent down and embraced him tenderly, gently saying, "Go to sleep."

At the corner of the long street, Yang Kai suddenly turned around and stared into the darkness.

Wu Kuang's voice rang out in his mind, "What's wrong?"

Yang Kai didn't respond, only wearing a thoughtful expression for a moment before saying, "It's nothing, perhaps I just wanted to cross it!"

Wu Kuang couldn't help muttering, "Strange."

…

The Spirit Religion's Forbidden Land.

This place was the test left behind by the first generation Saintess, and only the Holy Child who was predicted by the prophecy could safely pass this test.

The prophecy had been passed down for many years, and there were always some people with ulterior motives who wanted to pretend to be a Holy Child in order to ascend to the heavens.

However, none of these people had ever passed the sealed land's test. Only the young man who had been brought back by the Xun Flag Master ten years ago had managed to emerge unscathed.

It was also because of this that the higher-ups of the Spirit Religion were able to confirm his identity as a Holy Child and secretly nurture him until today.

Today, the Saintess of the Spirit Religion and the various Flag Masters were gathered here, all of them waiting solemnly.

Because today, another person had entered the sealed land.

While waiting, the various Flag Masters secretly exchanged glances and began accumulating their strength.

At a certain moment, the thick door to the sealed land opened and a figure walked out, landing in a large array.

The great array hummed as it released its power. Yang Kai's expression became tense as he looked around and asked, "Everyone, what is the meaning of this?"

This array was obviously of a higher grade than the one he and Zuo Wuyou had encountered before, and the ones who were secretly controlling it were all Immortal Ascension stage cultivators.

It could be said that in this world, anyone who fell into this array would not be able to escape with their own strength.

The Saintess' unique gentle voice rang out, "There's no need to be nervous, you've already passed the sealed land, and now is the final test. If you can pass it, the Spirit Religion will honor you as the Holy Child!"

Yang Kai's eyes suddenly became malicious as he stared coldly at the Saintess, "You never mentioned such a thing before."

The Xun Flag Master, Sikong Nan, bent his back and chuckled, "It's not too late to tell you now."

"Are you trying to trick me?" Yang Kai shouted.

Sikong Nan urged, "Young man, don't be so impatient."

Ma Cheng Ze placed his hands on his fat belly, the smile on his face like a blooming chrysanthemum flower as he couldn't help chuckling, "If you don't have any ghosts in your heart, why are you so afraid?"

Yang Kai's eyes swept over the Immortal Ascension stage cultivators standing around him, as if he had recognized the reality of the situation, and his tone softened as he asked, "What is this final test?"

The Zhen Flag Master Yu Daochi said, "You don't need to do anything, just stand there!"

Saying so, he turned to the Saintess and said, "Your Highness, let's begin."

The Saintess nodded and formed a series of hand seals, muttering under her breath as she pointed towards Yang Kai.

In the blink of an eye, the world began to tremble as an invisible force seemed to be drawn out from the depths of the world and slammed into Yang Kai.

Yang Kai suddenly groaned.

Now he understood. So this was the Cleansing Incantation, borrowing the power of the entire world to expel the foreign evil. This kind of thing could only be done by a Saintess personally trained by Mu.

Under the envelopment of the Cleansing Incantation, Yang Kai grit his teeth and endured the pain, the veins on his forehead gradually bulging, as if he was enduring great torture and pain.

A moment later, he found it difficult to endure and cried out miserably.

Although the higher-ups of the Spirit Religion had already expected this, they still couldn't help feeling worried after seeing this scene.

Along with Yang Kai's screams, a black mist began to spread from his body.

"Hmph!" The Flag Master of the Qian Banner snorted lightly, his eyes filled with disgust as he stared at Yang Kai, "A little brat dares to covet my Spirit Religion's authority!"

Sikong Nan shook his head and sighed, "There are always some who overestimate themselves and are prepared to be blinded by benefits."

The Cleansing Incantation continued, gradually reducing the black mist from Yang Kai's body until it no longer existed. At this moment, his clothes were drenched in sweat, and he was half-kneeling on the ground, looking extremely miserable.

The Saintess withdrew her Secret Technique and looked towards Yang Kai in the great array, sighing lightly, "Speak, what is your purpose in pretending to be the Holy Child?"

Yang Kai suddenly raised his head, "I am the Holy Child of the Spirit Religion, why pretend to be one?"

The Saintess said, "A true Holy Child can never be affected by the Ink Force in the sealed land. Since you came out of the sealed land but were contaminated by the Ink Force, it is impossible for you to be a Holy Child. In addition, the Holy Child of the Spirit Religion … was found ten years ago!"

Hearing this, Yang Kai's pupils shrank as he said bitterly, "So you knew from the beginning that I wasn't a Holy Child."

"Yes!"

Yang Kai immediately became angry and roared, "Then why did you ask me to come to this sealed land for a test?"

Sikong Nan said, "When you entered the city, you caused quite a stir, so your matter must be explained to the countless disciples. This test is the best explanation."

Yang Kai suddenly understood, "So that's how it is."

The Saintess said, "Please surrender."

"Don't even think about it!" Yang Kai shouted angrily as he shot up into the sky in an attempt to escape, but the power of the great array continued to envelop him.

The several Immortal Ascension stage masters controlling the Spirit Array simultaneously exerted their strength, causing the power of the Spirit Array to suddenly become incredibly heavy. Yang Kai was caught off guard and felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him as he fell back down.

He stood up awkwardly and rushed towards one of the Immortal Ascension stage masters in charge of the array.

"You're courting death!" The Zhen Flag Master Yu Daochi shouted as he flashed into the great array.

At the same time, Li Feiyu also took out a long sword and charged towards Yang Kai while calling out, "This person's methods are quite strange. He seems to have a Divine Soul artifact protecting him, don't use your Soul Avatar to deal with him!"

Yu Daochi coldly snorted, "Do we need to activate our Soul Avatar to deal with him?"

Saying so, he appeared in front of Yang Kai and punched out.

This punch was not held back in the slightest. With his peak Immortal Ascension stage strength, it was obvious he wanted to kill Yang Kai on the spot.

Outside the great array, the Saintess who saw this scene sighed.

All these years, she had been wondering who was the mastermind behind all of this, but she had no concrete evidence.

In the current situation, even if Yang Kai harbored malicious intentions towards the Spirit Religion, he should have taken him down and interrogated him carefully, he shouldn't have attacked so ruthlessly.

Yu Daochi… was too eager.

Although she had learned many of Yang Kai's trump cards during their discussion last night, she couldn't help feeling worried.

However, in the next instant, a shocking scene occurred.

Facing Yu Daochi's punch, Yang Kai didn't try to dodge and instead just punched out.

Boom!

The two figures flew backwards.

Li Feiyu's long sword transformed into a sword curtain that enveloped Yang Kai, sealing off all of his escape routes. Only then did she open her mouth and say, "I forgot to mention, his innate talent is extraordinary and his strength is extraordinary. In the face of his might, the Earth Faction Commander of the Black Ink Religion was defeated and fled!"

Sikong Nan cried out in shock, "What? A True Element stage cultivator defeated that guy surnamed Zhong?"

Li Feiyu's information had been obtained from Zuo Wuyou. After Zuo Wuyou entered the city, he had been under the control of the Li Banner, so no one else had any chance to approach him. Therefore, besides Li Feiyu and the Saintess, none of the Flag Masters knew what Yang Kai and Zuo Wuyou had encountered along the way.

However, they were all too familiar with the Earth Faction Commander of the Black Ink Religion. As long as they had been enemies for so many years, they naturally knew how powerful the physical body of an Earth Faction Commander was.

It could be said that in this world, in terms of physical strength alone, no one would dare claim to be number one if the Earth Faction Commander claimed to be number two.

Such a powerful guy was actually defeated by this young man in front of him? And in a direct confrontation?

If it weren't for Li Feiyu saying this, no one would have believed it.

On the other side, after being forced back, Yu Daochi was clearly enraged. His strength surged as he once again charged forward, pincering himself with Li Feiyu to attack Yang Kai.

"This guy is a bit dangerous. This old man didn't want to bully the weak, but since he has malicious intentions towards my Spirit Religion, there's no need to worry about morality." Sikong Nan sighed and stepped forward, appearing in the middle of the great array and slamming his palm towards Yang Kai's head.

In the blink of an eye, the three Flag Masters had formed an encirclement around Yang Kai.

This battle did not last long, but the intensity and danger it brought was far beyond anyone's expectations.

In addition to the person who was pretending to be the Holy Child, there were also three Flag Masters.

With three Flag Masters working together and the Spirit Array they had set up beforehand, who in this world could escape?

In less than half a cup of tea, the battle had ended.

However, none of the Spirit Religion's higher-ups showed any joy, instead all of them wore complicated expressions.

"Why did you still kill him?" Sikong Nan stared at Li Feiyu, his already hunched body becoming even more hunched. In that direction, Li Feiyu's sword had pierced through Yang Kai's body, causing him to lose his breath.

Li Feiyu's face paled slightly as she shook her head, "I can't stop my attack."
