It was precisely because someone was attacking the gate in the outside world that the world inside the painting was shaking non-stop, and judging from the current situation, the cultivation of the person who was attacking was definitely not low.
Speaking of which, this Pear Flower Cave Heaven had Xia Linlang, a Seventh Order master, guarding it. If it weren’t for her backing, who would dare act so presumptuously?
Yang Kai laughed loudly and gloated, “The cycle of the Heavenly Law, retribution!”
This woman had plotted to deceive him, so Yang Kai had long been annoyed and was naturally happy to see her being unlucky.
Xia Linlang coldly said, “Why do you think I suffered such an undeserved catastrophe? If they break through the gate and attack, the first one to suffer is you!”
Yang Kai’s laughter suddenly stopped as he suddenly realized something, “They came for me?”
“Who do you think you are!” Xia Linlang sneered, “They want the World Spring!”
“It’s those people?” Yang Kai suddenly understood. There weren’t many people who knew about the World Spring, but the few High Rank Open Heaven masters who had fought over it in the broken Universe Cave Heaven were undoubtedly the ones who knew.
In the end, when Xia Linlang captured Yang Kai, an old woman noticed her.
Xia Linlang said, “It must be because I went out and was targeted by someone, exposing my location. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come so quickly.”
Yang Kai was furious, “How could you be so careless?”
Xia Linlang smiled mockingly, “Didn’t you say that the cycle of the Heavenly Law is filled with retribution? Why are you so nervous?”
Yang Kai was at a loss for words. If this matter had nothing to do with him, he could naturally sit back and watch the tigers fight, but if it had something to do with his own interests, how could Yang Kai have such thoughts? Although he wasn’t certain if Xia Linlang’s words were true or false, at this point, there was no need for this woman to deliberately scare him.
Yang Kai’s expression couldn’t help changing.
Xia Linlang looked at him and suddenly smiled, “Why don’t I open the door and you escape on your own? In any case, you’re proficient in the Space Laws, so if you really want to escape, even if those people are High Rank masters, they won’t be able to do anything to you.”
Yang Kai said angrily, “Do you think I can escape from several High Rank masters in my current state?”
“What does that have to do with me?” Xia Linlang smiled.
Yang Kai couldn’t wait to stab this woman to death!
Just now, he had been preparing to watch a good show, but now, the tables had turned and it was Xia Linlang’s turn to watch. The situation had truly changed.
Suddenly, Yang Kai restrained his anger and smiled, “Fine, if you open the door, I won’t escape. In any case, I won’t be able to escape. There’s only one World Spring, and those people aren’t as united as I thought. When the time comes for them to fight, I’ll try to take advantage of them, but that doesn’t mean I won’t have a chance to survive. Besides, they probably won’t really kill me. At most, they’ll try to find a way to help me break through to the Seventh Order and then seize the World Spring. In the end, I won’t die.”
Looking at her coldly, he continued, “As for you, your aura is quite weak right now, I wonder if anyone will take advantage of this opportunity to kill you! En, all of you have been hiding in Shattered Heaven for so many years, so there must be some big and small grievances between you. Not to mention the old woman I met before, I don’t think she will miss out on such a good opportunity!”
Xia Linlang coldly snorted, “Do you think those people are so easy to talk to? Do you think everyone has as much patience as I do? There’s only one World Spring, if they can’t obtain it, they definitely won’t let anyone else obtain it. At that time, you won’t be alive, but don’t worry, after you die, no one will help you collect your corpse!”
Yang Kai waved his hand and said, “Enough, we’re not young anymore, don’t scare anyone!”
“Who says I’m not young anymore!” Xia Linlang rolled her eyes at him and ran her fingers through her hair as she puffed out her chest, “I’m in my prime!”
Yang Kai curled his lips, “In short, we are now on the same boat. If one suffers, all suffers, if one prospers, all prospers.”
Xia Linlang was silent for a moment before gently nodding, “After all this talk, there’s finally a humane talk!”
Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered to argue with her and asked, “How many High Rank masters are there outside?”
Although he was half the owner of Pear Flower Cave Heaven, this world in the painting had nothing to do with him. Only Xia Linlang could observe the situation outside.
“Four!” Xia Linlang replied, “They’re all people you’ve met before.”
Yang Kai’s expression showed that this was indeed the case. In addition to Xia Linlang, there was also a white-haired old woman, a middle-aged man, a woman, and a little boy.
It was these five people who had rushed into the Universe Cave Heaven and fought there, causing it to shatter.
“How strong is it compared to you?”
“It’s about the same, the difference isn’t too great. Amongst the Seventh Order Open Heaven, it’s the kind that’s neither high nor low!” Xia Linlang mocked herself.
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before asking, “If we open the gate now and take advantage of their surprise, what are the chances of us escaping?”
Xia Linlang looked at him strangely, “I have to ask you this, aren’t you proficient in the Space Laws and escaping?”
Yang Kai shook his head and said, “If I was at my peak, there might still be a chance, but in my current state, there’s no hope. Not to mention, they also know my background, so they might not be completely unprepared outside.”
Xia Linlang sighed, “This gate won’t be able to hold on for much longer. When you and I fought before, this place was already damaged. Now that the four people outside are using their full strength, it will take at most half a day to break this gate.”
As the two of them spoke, the shaking of the world in the painting became more obvious, wave after wave, fierce and violent.
Xia Linlang decisively said, “Follow me back!”
Yang Kai nodded without hesitation.
Xia Linlang formed a series of hand seals and stretched out her hand, pointing towards the void in front of her. The void rippled, revealing a door that led to Pear Flower Cave Heaven.
The two of them entered one after another!
Originally, the two of them had been locked in a fierce battle and wanted to take each other’s lives, but now they were forced to help each other. It was truly ironic.
However, Yang Kai needed to borrow the strength of Xia Linlang’s Seventh Order Open Heaven while Xia Linlang needed to borrow Yang Kai’s Space Law. Not to mention, in this great battle, the strength Yang Kai displayed was not bad, so if she were to ally with him, they would undoubtedly have a higher chance of survival.
Whether it was Xia Linlang or Yang Kai, neither of them was ignorant of the big picture. Both of them knew that this temporary alliance only had benefits and no disadvantages, which was why they had given up on killing each other. However, if they could escape this calamity, they might not be able to avoid a life and death struggle.
Returning to Pear Flower Cave Heaven, they directly appeared in front of Pear Flower Palace.
Qin Fen and the others, who had been waiting here all this time, saw the two of them return together and quickly went to greet them. Seeing Xia Linlang in such a sorry state, her dress stained with blood, all of them were shocked and glared at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai turned a deaf ear to this.
Xia Linlang turned her head to look at him and said, “The gate to outside is an artifact. After they break through the gate, they won’t be able to rush into this place for the time being and will need to break through the World Barrier here. It won’t take long, at most half a month.”
Yang Kai nodded lightly, “It’s enough to restore our strength. When the time comes, even if they really attack us, the two of us may have the advantage in terms of location, but it’s not impossible.”
Xia Linlang slowly shook her head, “I won’t fight with them here!”
Yang Kai frowned, “Why?”
Whether it was him or Xia Linlang, both of them naturally had the advantage in terms of location when fighting in this Pear Flower Cave Heaven. The two of them were, after all, half the masters of the Universe Cave Heaven, so they could borrow the World Energy here.
Xia Linlang said, “There are more than ten million living creatures here. If we really fight here, not to mention victory or defeat, we will definitely fight until the heavens collapse and the earth collapse. At that time, who knows how many of those living creatures will die? So when they break through the barrier, it will be the time for you and me to break through them. Whether we live or die will depend on our own luck.”
Yang Kai looked at her strangely.
Xia Linlang said lightly, “What? Do you think I’m soft-hearted? I’m sorry, I’m a woman. If you don’t agree, you can leave on your own. I won’t stop you this time!”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “I don’t mean that, I just didn’t expect it.”
This woman actually cared about the lives and deaths of the ten million living creatures in Pear Flower Cave Heaven, even giving up the geographical advantage of fighting here, this was something Yang Kai had never expected.
Doing so was undoubtedly extremely unwise, and any other person who knew how to weigh the pros and cons would not have made such a choice.
Yang Kai suddenly felt that this woman was much more pleasing to the eye.
Xia Linlang frowned, “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I’m a kind-hearted woman?”
Yang Kai grinned, “It’s difficult to draw a tiger’s skin, knowing a man’s face but not his heart. I’m not familiar with you, so I don’t know what kind of person you are, so I have no way of determining who you are. However, for the millions of living creatures in the Pear Flower Cave Heaven to have someone like you consider them is not a bad thing.”
Xia Linlang snorted lightly.
Yang Kai said, “If you can trust me, I have a solution.”
Xia Linlang looked at him suspiciously, “Tell me about it.”
Yang Kai shook his head and smiled, “You’ll know when the time comes, but before that, I need the Pear Flower Palace's Jade!”
Saying so, he stretched out his hand.
Xia Linlang frowned slightly, but she didn’t hesitate for long before handing over the jade she had taken from Yang Kai.
“Thank you!” Yang Kai smiled, “I’m going to heal my injuries, so you should hurry and do the same. There will be a fierce battle later.”
His figure flickered and disappeared.
Qin Fen and the others who were watching from the side were all dumbfounded. They had originally thought that the Palace Master had captured Yang Kai, but after listening for a long time, they discovered that this was not the case. During the time when the Palace Master and Yang Kai had disappeared, it seemed as if something big had happened.
“Palace Master, this is…” Qin Fen stared at Xia Linlang in confusion.
Xia Linlang said, “When I went out before, I was being tracked, so my location has been exposed. Now that a powerful enemy has invaded, I need to recuperate. All of you enter Gem Palace and be on guard!”
“Yes!” Qin Fen and the others quickly complied.
