Martial Peak

en what are you doing here?” Yang Kai was stunned and his expression became somewhat unhappy.

“If Sect Master Yang can persuade us three to your cause, then out of respect for Sect Master Ye, we will provide as much help with this matter within our abilities as we can.”

“Within your ability??” Yang Kai frowned.

“For example… convincing our fellow Brothers and Sisters to not be your enemy!”

“How many?” Yang Kai frowned.

“At least half!”

“A reasonable number…” Yang Kai pondered.
If half of the masters on Star Emperor Mountain remained uninvolved, his chances for victory would rise dramatically.
Moreover, even if just half stood by, presumably those who remained would not dare act easily.

“We all grew up on Star Emperor Mountain since infancy and are as close as true brothers and sisters.
Most of us adhere to the same philosophy as Sect Master Ye, with only a few who are truly dissatisfied with our current condition.
So, with the three of us acting as advocates, coupled with Sect Master Ye’s past prestige, Sect Master Yang may be able to achieve his wish this time,” Yang Xiu Zhu said again.

“Alright, there is some truth to what you say, but how should I convince you to support me? ” Yang Kai looked at the three of them.

“That will be up to Sect Master Yang himself,” Lin Yu Rao smiled.

“Understood,” Yang Kai gently nodded before furrowing his brow slightly.

From the previous discussion he had with Ye Xi Yun and the brief contact he had now, Yang Kai deeply understood that Star Emperor Mountain’s members were truly aloof from world affairs.
Since they had lived their entire lives on Star Emperor Mountain and rarely had contact with the outside world, influenced by the environment they grew up in, they possessed almost no concept of greed or ambition.

As such, if Yang Kai wanted to convince them to support him, wealth was probably useless; instead, he would have to give them something else they desired.

On top of that, whatever he proposed should not bring harm to Star Emperor Mountain itself, otherwise, he would arouse their resentment.

After thinking for a while, Yang Kai smiled confidently.

Perceiving the change in his expression, Yang Xiu Zhu and others could not help frowning, not knowing what Yang Kai had thought of, immediately looking towards him intently.

“Three Seniors have already reached the peak of the Origin Returning Realm, so surely you have thought about going a step further on the Martial Dao, yes?” Yang Kai looked at the three with a smile.

“A step further!” Yang Xiu Zhu’s and the others’ expressions all lit up as they stared towards Yang Kai in amazement, asking eagerly, “Do you have a way?”

No cultivator did not want to climb to the peak of the Martial Dao.
Now that they had chosen to tread upon this path, only by continuing to move forward and climb higher could they enjoy better scenery.
No one was willing to remain stuck where they were.

“Haha, Junior doesn’t have the ability to break through the shackles of Shadowed Star’s World Principles, but three Seniors have surely seen that Junior possesses an Origin King Grade Starship.
To be honest, after settling this matter, Junior was planning to embark on a long-distance voyage,” Yang Kai said without hesitation.

“A long-distance voyage?” Yang Xiu Zhu and others’ eyes sparkled, immediately understanding what he implied, a look of hope flashing across their faces, “You mean…”

“En, since Shadowed Star’s World Principles prohibit us from advancing any further, all we must do is leave.
Junior doesn’t mean to boast, but with the quality of this Origin King Grade Starship, a long-distance voyage should not be an issue.
En, I previously invited Elder Qian and City Lord Fei from Shadow Moon Hall, as well as members from Clear Sky Sect to accompany me, having three Seniors join us is a simple matter!”

Yang Xiu Zhu and the others all became visibly excited and seemed to be on the verge of agreeing.

[Success!] Yang Kai grinned.

But soon, Yang Kai noticed that something was wrong.
The excited looks on Yang Xiu Zhu and others’ faces calmed down extremely rapidly and were replaced with frowns containing what seemed like guilt.

“Are three Seniors not satisfied with this proposal?” Yang Kai asked in a deep voice.

Yang Xiu Zhu glanced at him before shaking his head and smiling bitterly, “Sect Master Yang must be joking, such a good chance, presumably no Third-Order Origin Returning Realm cultivator would refuse.
It naturally has an unimaginable attraction to us, but… If we three were to really agree to Sect Master Yang’s request because of this condition, we would be no better than sinners who sold off their Sect for personal glory, so we must ask Sect Master Yang to forgive us, but we cannot agree to your proposal.”

[Damn it, these stubborn old goats!] Yang Kai cursed to himself.

Even currently, these three were actually still thinking about their fellow Sect Brothers and Sisters.
To a certain extent, Yang Kai admired them, but because their attitude was hindering his own interests and goals, he could not help finding these three a bit irritating.

Fortunately, Yang Kai had other proposals ready.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Kai quickly said, “I heard from Great Elder Ye before that Star Emperor Mountain is descended from Supreme Profound Sect! Presumably, three Seniors know that my High Heaven Sect currently occupies Supreme Profound Sect’s ruins!”

Hearing this, Yang Xiu Zhu opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and just sighed heavily.

He could not take back the inheritance of his ancestors and had now even allowed it to be occupied by outsiders.
Naturally, he had nothing to say, let alone words to blame Yang Kai.

“Why does Sect Master Yang raise this point?” Chu Han Yi frowned.

“What if I were to say that after this matter has ended, I can allow all of Star Emperor Mountain’s population to return to Supreme Profound Sect?” Yang Kai smiled crookedly, “Since you have all strictly adhered to your ancestral teachings for over ten thousand years, you must want to return to your ancestors’ original home to have a look and seek out the hidden mysteries which remain there, right? I can satisfy this desire; not only that, I can allow all of you to live there in the future, to regain the original foundation and heritage of your ancestors, to breathe the same air and watch the same scenery as they and the Great Emperor once breathed and saw.”
