Martial Peak

After Yang Kai stared at this figure for a while longer, he suddenly sucked in a cold breath and cried out, “I know who this man is!”

“Who?”

“This must be the Demon Lord who was beheaded by my Sect’s Ancestral Founder several hundreds of years ago!”

Old Demon was not entirely clear about the history of High Heaven Pavilion so Yang Kai brief recanted it for him.

Hearing that the Coiling Dragon Stream was formed when this Demon Lord was struck down by a single Earth shattering sword strike, Old Demon was suddenly greatly excited and said in a slightly agitated tone, “Even after hundreds of years, this Demon Lord’s flesh has not decayed! When he was alive, his strength must have been similar to this old master’s at his peak.”

Yang Kai was secretly unnerved.

This man had been dead for hundreds of years, and although his body has almost completely dried out, his physique was yet to be destroyed and had even given rise to such an extensive and potent Demonic Qi, enough to fill the entire Coiling Dragon Stream and beyond. Just how powerful was he when he was alive?

How powerful was his High Heaven Pavilion’s Ancestral Founder to have triumphed over him?

This level of strength was something Yang Kai couldn’t hope to match, at least not within a short period of time.

Carefully scanning his surroundings again, Yang Kai found a deeply worn impression, and after squatting down to examine it, he couldn’t help but grin slightly.

This place should be where his Sect Master’s Second Disciple had sat in cultivation for the past ten years. By perennially meditating here he must have left these traces behind.

In other words, his Sect Master’s Second Disciple should have grasped some profound insight or obtained some kind of powerful inheritance from this dead Demon Lord that enabled him to restore his strength and then a decade later escape his imprisonment.

The Sect Master banishing him to the Coiling Dragon Stream had simultaneously created this opportunity for him.

All things were truly impermanent; no one clearly could say what was truly a blessing or a curse.

“Young Master …” Old Demon suddenly shouted. His voice contained a trace of excitement and anticipation, “Can you remove and collect the chain artifact from this Demon Lord’s neck?”

“Of course!” Yang Kai had long seen just how extraordinary this collar was. It emitted an aura akin to the blazing sun, and there was no doubt it was a Yang attribute artifact designed specifically to restrain Demonic Qi. Yang Kai’s cultivation of the True Yang Secret Art had an innate fit with this artifact, so how could he simply let it go?

This artifact should be something High Heaven Pavilion’s Ancestral Founder had left behind to suppress this Demon Lord’s Demonic Qi, but after so many centuries the Sect Master’s Second Disciple must have done something to it to cause it to lose its abilities, so letting it remain here would serve no purpose.

“But even if I don’t accept it, what does that have to do with you?” Yang Kai asked suspiciously, wondering what Old Demon was up to.

“Heh heh…” Old Demon cackled happily, “If Young Master can remove this artifact, this Old Servant can try to possess this Demon Lord’s body.”

“You want to rob his body?” Yang Kai expression slightly changed.
