Martial Peak

orated to set up a barrier a thousand meters out from Holy Tomb’s and forbidden any disciples from approaching it.

“What happened?” Yang Kai asked, “How did the Holy Tomb open?”

“Subordinate does not know what transpired, the Holy Tomb just suddenly opened on its own.
In order to prevent the disciples from entering it, the Elders set up numerous restrictions around here.”

“Have you gone in to investigate yet?” Yang Kai turned to ask Xu Hui.

“Subordinate and Elder Shi Kun have entered once.”

“What did you find?”

“Nothing, the Holy Tomb itself doesn’t seem to have experienced any changes.”

“I’ll go in and have a look, you wait here,” Yang Kai issued a command before diving into the Void Corridor.

After about the time it would take to burn a stick of incense, Yang Kai returned from the Holy Tomb with a look of confusion on his face.

Just as Xu Hui had said, besides the entrance opening on its own, there was no change to the inside of the Holy Tomb, the World Energy aura was still as potent as always and there were no signs of any kind of danger.

After sinking into contemplation for a long time, Yang Kai couldn’t come up with any reasonable explanation and asked, “When did this happen?”

“About two or three days ago.”

“Two or three days ago?” Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed, suddenly feeling slightly uneasy.

“En, did Holy Master think of something?”

Yang Kai shook his head.

Two or three days ago was around the time he had rescued Treasurer Meng and Xia Ning Chang.

However, could these two matters have any relationship with one another? After all, these two places were tens of thousands of kilometres apart, a two-month journey for a Transcendent Realm cultivator.

“Was it just a coincidence?

“For the time being, don’t let any of the disciples get close to here, perhaps there is some hidden danger yet to reveal itself.
Let’s just observe the situation for a while,” Yang Kai was helpless and could only issue such instructions, he was unable to figure out why this Mysterious Small World’s entrance had suddenly opened.

Receiving his orders, the Elder quickly made the appropriate arrangements.

As soon as he arrived back at the Holy Master Court, Yang Kai felt a bunch of stares land on him.

The five Grandmasters were standing there.
It seems they had heard about his return and had rushed out to meet him.

“Little brat, you deceived us.
Your three-month trip nearly exhausted these old masters to death!” Chang Bao shouted loudly as soon as their eyes met.

As the manager of Lightning Flash City’s Alchemist Guild branch and a Saint Grade Alchemist, he possessed incredibly high status.
Usually when someone came to ask him for Alchemy services, whether he agreed or not was simply up to his mood, if he was feeling generous, perhaps he would refine one or two Saint Pills a month.

There had never once in his life been a time like these past three months where every day he actually had to fulfil a pill refining quota.

It was almost as if he had come to Nine Heavens Holy Land to work for free for Yang Kai.

After three months of strenuous effort, Chang Bao had lost a few dozen kilograms of fat and his body was noticeably slimmer than before.

“That’s right, the several of us discussed a few days ago that if you didn’t come back soon, we would drop this troublesome burden and leave without caring about your Nine Heavens Holy Land’s reputation,” Hong Fang also called out.

“Enough already, you don’t need to keep acting like pitiful victims here!” Kong Ruo Yu gave them a harsh stare, “Thanks to these past three months of constant Alchemy, which one of you has not obtained great benefits? Even putting aside how Du Wan has become a Saint Grade Mid-Rank Alchemist, haven’t all of you now seen hope of reaching such a height? True it was tiring, but the harvests you gained weren’t small either.”

Receiving Kong Ruo Yu’s reprimand, the two of them quieted down, neither of them able to refute her, instead just turning a dissatisfied glare towards Yang Kai.

Yang Kai quickly stepped forward and apologetically cupped his fists, “I really must apologize.
I didn’t expect to be gone for such a long time.
Originally I had expected to be out for just a few days but a great many accidents happened along the way, dragging things out until this point.
Junior offers his sincere thanks to several Grandmasters for preserving my Holy Land’s hard-earned prestige and reputation these past three months.”

“Hmph, as long as you understand,” He Feng nodded with satisfaction, “And, for treating us old guys here as free labour, how do you intend to compensate?”

Yang Kai glanced around and soon caught sight of his Little Senior Sister who was chatting happily with An Ling’er nearby, a grin soon appearing on his face, “I’ve ordered that for the next ten days, the Holy Land will not be accepting Alchemy requests, which will give several Grandmasters an opportunity to rest.”

“A simple break is not enough to satisfy our appetite,” Chang Bao shook his head.

“Ten days from now, Junior will surely provide several Grandmasters with a satisfactory compensation.”

“Good!” Chang Bao’s fat face filled with smiles, “We don’t have any other requests, as long as you continue demonstrating your Alchemy in front of us, we’ll be satisfied.”

“Several Grandmasters should look forward to ten days from now, there will surely be a surprise for you,” Yang Kai chuckled.

The five Grandmasters exchanged a suspicious glance, all of them wondering what kind of snake oil Yang Kai was peddling.

Du Wan eventually smiled and said, “You don’t need to concern yourself too much since we now have a ten-day break.
You should also have a good rest.
En, I see you are quite anxious to go to that young miss over there, us old folks won’t bother you anymore.
Since we came here, we’ve actually yet to experience the scenery of this place.
Several old friends, how about we go out for a leisurely stroll?

“Agreed, sitting around inside all day long will only make us stiff, we should get out and stretch our legs a bit.”

And so, the several Grandmasters left the Holy Master Court in a good mood, seemingly planning on touring around the nine peaks.
