These wounds and bloodstains were naturally left from the battle with the flower-backed spider. At the time, there was no time to deal with them, and upon returning to Wu Mei Town, he had to find a doctor for the little boy, which naturally delayed things. After that, Yang Kai fell asleep.
He slept until the morning of the next day. The little boy had already woken up, and Yang Kai left with peace of mind, rushing back to the sect. From a distance, he saw a group of people surrounding his wooden house, some holding torches, as if they were about to burn down his house. How could Yang Kai agree to that? He naturally went over to ask what was going on, only to find that it was Su Mu causing trouble.
Seeing the main person appear, Su Mu, who had failed to set the fire, not only showed no remorse but became even more excited. Pointing at Yang Kai, he said, "Yang Kai, don't say I didn't give you a chance. As long as you can..."
"Wait a moment." Yang Kai raised his hand to signal, then walked into the house leisurely.
"Hey..." Su Mu swallowed the rest of his words, feeling as if he had swallowed a fly, and not just any fly, but one that had just flown up from fresh feces. It was extremely uncomfortable.
"Master Su, this person is really disrespectful," one of his subordinates said on Su Mu's behalf.
"Humph!" Su Mu sneered, "Wait and see, I'll beat him up. I've heard this guy never admits defeat, so don't hold back. Today, I must make him understand the consequences of offending me."
"Yes."
Yang Kai walked into the house and took off the small bundle on his shoulder. This bundle of herbs was the result of his three days of effort, and he felt uneasy about not putting it down first.
After placing the bundle, Yang Kai came out again, looking at Su Mu seriously. "What were you about to say just now?"
Su Mu glared at him, full of resentment, feeling like he was about to spit blood.
He had prepared his lines for a long time, but before he could say them, Yang Kai interrupted him. Now, seeing Yang Kai ask again, he quickly regained his composure and shouted, "Yang Kai, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you kneel and kowtow to me in front of all these fellow disciples and call me 'grandpa,' I'll spare your life! Otherwise... hmmm..."
The few "hmm" sounds were full of deep meaning, carrying a clear threat.
After saying this, Su Mu's face showed the satisfaction of avenging a grudge, as if he had really done something to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, looking at Su Mu with deep concern.
"What?" Su Mu felt a bit uneasy, mainly because Yang Kai was too calm, making him feel uncertain. After all, he had been tricked by Yang Kai once in Wu Mei Town, leaving a psychological shadow.
"Disrespectful!" Yang Kai sighed.
The onlookers were stunned, and Su Mu was also stunned, wondering how this was disrespectful.
"What do you mean?" Su Mu asked fiercely.
"Don't understand? Let me teach you!" Yang Kai, in a kind and patient manner, said, "Let me ask you, do you have an elder in the Lingxiao Pavilion?"
"You have some discernment!" Su Mu's tail was almost up to the sky.
Yang Kai smiled, thinking that Su Mu had come to take revenge with such a grand show, naturally relying on someone. If there was no one above him, how could he dare to be so arrogant, and even try to burn his house?
"Does this person have a significant position in the sect?" Yang Kai asked again.
"An elder's position!" Su Mu snorted, "I also have a sister who is a core disciple! She could crush you with a single finger!"
Yang Kai understood, now having a better grasp of Su Mu's background. He patted Su Mu's shoulder and said, "That's right, very disrespectful!"
"What do you mean by 'right' or 'wrong'?" Su Mu was furious, feeling dizzy and confused by Yang Kai's words, not knowing what he was getting at.
"Can't you figure out such a simple thing? How did your head grow?" Yang Kai frowned, looking at Su Mu with deep concern, and explained patiently, "Your sister, by seniority, should be my senior. If I really called you 'grandpa,' how would your sister address you? How would that elder address you? Disrespectful, very disrespectful! If I were that elder, I would lock you in the KONGLONG Gorge today and never let you out."
Su Mu's body trembled, his face pale. KONGLONG Gorge was the most terrifying place in the Lingxiao Pavilion. Over the centuries, some disciples had committed heinous crimes after leaving the sect. Once these irredeemable criminals were caught by the sect, they would be stripped of their cultivation and thrown into the KONGLONG Gorge, essentially a death sentence.
The name "KONGLONG Gorge" was infamous within a few thousand miles.
Su Mu wasn't afraid of Yang Kai, but he instinctively felt a bit of fear at the mention of these three words.
Noticing Su Mu's state, one of the people who came with him quickly stepped forward and said, "Master Su, this guy is sharp-tongued. Don't argue with him. We're here to stand up for you."
"Right." Su Mu came to his senses, feeling both angry and embarrassed, and said, "Yang Kai, stop talking nonsense. If you don't kneel and apologize today, I'll make you regret being born."
A cold light flashed in Yang Kai's eyes, and he clenched his fists. "Is Junior Brother Su here to challenge me?"
Su Mu sneered, "I would, but you're not up to it. I'm at the ninth layer of the Body Tempering Realm!"
Hearing this, Yang Kai immediately understood. The sect's rules stated that the difference in strength for a challenge could not exceed three layers. Su Mu indeed could not challenge Yang Kai, as the gap between them was too large.
This was also why he had brought people with him. These people were not just for show.
Su Mu looked at Yang Kai with disdain, a cold smile on his lips, and said, "Everyone, it's said that Senior Brother Yang has already reached the third layer of the Body Tempering Realm. Which of you brothers wants to test his skills?"
"The third layer of the Body Tempering Realm, such a high realm!" The group burst into laughter. Everyone present had entered the sect later than Yang Kai, but who among them was not at a higher realm than him?
"I'll do it, Master Su. I'm the weakest among the brothers, only at the fifth layer of the Body Tempering Realm, but I should be able to play with Senior Brother Yang for a while!" One person stepped forward from the crowd, looking at Yang Kai with disdain.
Yang Kai looked back at him, smiling. He was smiling because their information was outdated.
Five days ago, he was indeed at the third layer of the Body Tempering Realm, but things were different now.
However, Yang Kai naturally wouldn't publicize this. Advancing two layers in five days was a bit strange.
The person Su Mu brought said, "Senior Brother Yang, my name is Zhao Hu. Remember who beat you today!"
"I'll remember," Yang Kai said seriously.
Zhao Hu seemed intent on boosting Su Mu's reputation. He stood there arrogantly, hooking his little finger at Yang Kai. "Senior Brother Yang, don't say I didn't give you a chance. I'll let you have three moves. If you can make me move, you win. If not, don't blame me for not holding back."
This arrogant challenge, filled with blatant contempt, made Su Mu feel elated. He thought to himself that Zhao Hu was indeed capable, knowing how to humiliate someone, and he was doing a good job.
Although the third layer of the Body Tempering Realm was only two layers below the fifth layer, the difference in strength was like a watershed, making them incomparable.
