MARTIAL PEAK 5944

The Dawn City was the Holy City of the Spirit Religion, and every street in the city was extremely spacious. However, at this moment, the two sides of this street, which was originally wide enough for four or five carriages to travel side by side, were filled with bustling crowds.

The two horses entered the city from the east gate, followed by a large number of Spirit Religion masters. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the young man on one of the horses.

Their eyes were filled with reverence and worship.

On the horse’s back, Ma Chengze and Yang Kai chatted casually.

“Who came up with this idea?” Yang Kai suddenly asked.

“What?” Ma Chengze was stunned for a moment.

Yang Kai pointed to his sides.

Only then did Ma Cheng Ze come to a sudden realization. Glancing around, he leaned over and whispered, “Little friend, please bear with the idea of the Li Flag Master. The disciples just want to see what you look like, after this journey, everything will be fine.”

“It’s fine,” Yang Kai nodded slightly.

From the countless eyes staring at him, he could feel the earnest anticipation of these people.

Although it had been a few days since he came to this world, he and Zuo Wuyou had been traveling in the wilderness for this period of time, so he had only heard about this world’s situation from hearsay.

It wasn’t until he saw these pairs of eyes that he was able to understand what kind of deep sorrow Zuo Wuyou was referring to.

When the news of the Holy Child entering the city spread, all the disciples on the Dawn City rushed over just to witness the Holy Child's glory. In order to prevent any unnecessary disturbances, Li Feiyu decided to arrange a route for Ma Chengze to lead Yang Kai to the Divine Palace.

All the disciples who wanted to admire the Holy Child's prestige could wait quietly on either side of this road.

In this way, not only could they resolve any possible crisis, but they could also satisfy the disciples’ wishes, killing two birds with one stone.

Ma Chengze accompanied Yang Kai for two reasons. Firstly, he was responsible for escorting him into the Divine Palace, and secondly, he wanted to inquire about Yang Kai’s background.

But at this moment, he suddenly didn’t want to ask too many questions. Regardless of whether this Holy Child was an imposter or not, the countless eager gazes from all around him were real.

“Holy Child, save the world!” A voice suddenly called out from the crowd.

At first, it was just a soft whisper, but these words quickly spread out like wildfire.

In just a few breaths of time, everyone was shouting.

“Holy Child, save the world!”

As Yang Kai passed by, the disciples on both sides of the street prostrated themselves.

Yang Kai’s expression became sorrowful. The scene in front of him reminded him of the current situation of the Human Race.

In this world, there was a prophecy passed down by the first generation Saintess that a Holy Child could save the world.

But who among the Human Race of the 3000 Worlds could save them?

Ma Chengze suddenly turned his head to look at Yang Kai, feeling an invisible force descend upon the young man beside him.

Recalling some ancient rumors, his expression changed.

Li Feiyu’s method of allowing the Holy Child to ride a horse into the city and gain the admiration of the disciples seemed to have triggered something unexpected.

Thinking so, he quickly took out his communication bead and sent a message to the Divine Palace.

At the same time, inside the Divine Palace, many of the Spirit Religion's upper echelons were waiting. The Qian Flag Master took out his communication bead and inspected it, his expression becoming solemn.

“What happened?” The Saintess noticed something unusual and asked.

The Flag Master stepped forward and explained the arrangements of the disciples on the east gate by Li Feiyu.

Hearing this, the Saintess nodded, “Flag Master Li’s arrangements are quite good, is there a problem?”

The Qian Flag Master said, “We seem to have underestimated the influence of the prophecy left behind by the first generation Saintess on the disciples. The fellow who is pretending to be the Holy Child now seems to have gained the favor of the World's Will!”

With these words, everyone was shocked.

“Are you serious?”

“Where is this news from?”

“Nonsense, Fatty Ma is with him, so naturally this news is from him.”

“How can this be good?”

The group of people was in a complete mess and immediately lost their composure.

Originally, welcoming this fellow who was pretending to be a Holy Child into the city was just a feint. The upper echelons had planned to wait for him to enter this hall and investigate his purpose in coming here to find out his identity.

A fellow pretending to be a Holy Child wasn’t worth fighting.

Who would have thought that they would actually shoot themselves in the foot now? If this fellow who was pretending to be a Holy Child really obtained the favor of the World's Will, then the problem would be huge.

This was an honor that belonged to a true Holy Child!

Some people didn’t believe him and sent out their Divine Senses to investigate, only to discover that this was indeed the case. The person who had entered the city and pretended to be the Holy Child was shrouded in an invisible and mysterious energy.

This power seemed to contain the will of the entire world!

Many people’s foreheads were covered in sweat, feeling that today’s events were too outrageous.

“The original plan is no longer feasible,” The Qian Flag Master said with a solemn expression. This person had actually obtained the favor of the World's Will. Whether he was pretending to be a Holy Child or not, it was not something the Spirit Religion could casually punish.

“Then we can only stabilize him first and find a way to find out his origins,” One of the Flag Master said.

“The true Holy Child has already appeared, this matter is unknown to everyone except the higher-ups of the Spirit Religion. Since that’s the case, let’s not expose him for now.”

“We can only do so.”

The group of Flag Masters quickly came up with a plan before looking up at the Saintess.

The Saintess nodded, “We’ll do as you say.”

At the same time, in the Holy City, Yang Kai and Ma Chengze rode forward.

Suddenly, a small figure rushed out from the crowd. Ma Chengze’s eyes were sharp and he quickly pulled the reins, raising his hand and gently stopping the figure.

Looking over, it was a five or six years old child.

Although the child was young, he wasn’t afraid of strangers. Ignoring Ma Chengze, he looked at Yang Kai and asked, “Are you that Holy Child?”

Seeing his cute appearance, Yang Kai smiled and replied, “Whether it’s the Holy Child or not, I don’t know. This matter can only be concluded after the various Flag Masters and Saintesses of the Spirit Religion investigate.”

Ma Chengze was originally worried that Yang Kai would confirm it, but after hearing his words, he immediately felt relieved.

“Then you can’t be the Holy Child,” The child said.

“Oh? Why?” Yang Kai was confused.

The child made a face at him, “Because I hate you the moment I see you!”

Saying so, he rushed into the crowd, and soon a woman’s voice came from that direction, “Little brat, you’re causing trouble everywhere, what nonsense are you spouting?”

The child’s voice rang out, “I just hate him… Hmph!”

Yang Kai followed the voice and saw the back of a woman chasing after the mischievous child.

Beside him, Ma Chengze laughed heartily, “Little friend, please don’t take it to heart, a child’s words don’t mean anything.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly and glanced in that direction, but he could no longer see the woman and the child.

On the thirty kilometer long street, the disciples on both sides of the street all prostrated themselves in prayer. The words of 'Holy Child' and 'Savior' had long since become a raging tide that swept across the entire Holy City.

The sound was so powerful that it was condensed from the will of millions of people. Even with the Divine Palace’s Spirit Array isolating it, the higher-ups of the Spirit Religion could hear it clearly.

When they finally arrived at the Divine Palace, Ma Chengze led Yang Kai into the hall that represented the foundation of the Radiant Divine Palace.

There were many people gathered in the hall, standing in two rows as pairs of eyes stared towards them.

Yang Kai didn’t even spare it a glance as he walked straight up to the woman at the top.

He had come all this way for this woman.

With the veil covering her face, Yang Kai silently activated his Demon Eye of Annihilation, hoping to see through this illusion, but to no avail.

This veil was just an accessory and didn’t possess any profound power, making it difficult for the Demon Eye of Annihilation to display its full potential.

“Your Highness Saintess, he has arrived.”

Ma Chengze bowed and then stood up.

The Saintess nodded slightly and stared straight into Yang Kai’s eyes, her brow wrinkling slightly.

She could feel that ever since he entered the hall, this young man’s eyes had been fixed on her, as if he was examining her, causing her to feel slightly annoyed.

It had been many years since she took over the position of Saintess.

She opened her red lips and was about to speak, but the young man below spoke first, “Saintess, I have a request to make, please allow me.”

He just stood there and casually said these words, as if he had come all this way just for this.

Many people in the hall secretly frowned, feeling that although this fake Holy Child’s cultivation wasn’t high, he was too arrogant. Not only did he not bow to the Saintess, he even dared to make such a request.

Fortunately, the Saintess’ temperament had always been gentle, so although she didn’t like Yang Kai’s attitude and actions, she still nodded and gently said, “If there’s anything you want to say, let’s hear it.”

Yang Kai said, “Saintess, please remove your veil.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall burst into an uproar.

Someone immediately shouted, “Insolent fool, how dare you act so rashly!”

The appearance of a Saintess was not something one could casually look at. Not to mention a person of unknown origins, even among all the senior executives present, only a handful had actually seen the Saintess.

“Ignorant Junior, did you come to my Spirit Religion to humiliate us?”

A series of angry roars rang out as many Divine Senses surged towards Yang Kai.

Such pressure was definitely not something a True Element stage cultivator could withstand.

What surprised everyone was that the young man who should have been taught a lesson was still standing quietly in place. The omnipresent Divine Sense pressure was like a gentle breeze to him, not affecting him in the slightest.

He simply stared at the Saintess above him.

On the other hand, the frown on the Saintess’ face relaxed quite a bit, because she didn’t see any blasphemy or evil intent in this young man’s eyes. Raising her hand to suppress their anger, she couldn’t help asking, “Why do you want me to remove my veil?”

Yang Kai said in a low voice, “Just to verify a guess in my heart.”

“Is that conjecture very important?”

“This matter concerns the well-being of the people and the world.”

The Saintess was speechless.

The hall burst into laughter.

“Junior isn’t old, but his tone isn’t small.”

“My Spirit Religion's goal is to save the world, but after so many years, we haven’t made much progress. A True Element stage cultivator actually dares to boast so shamelessly.”

“Let him continue, this old master hasn’t laughed so much in a long time.”
