Martial Peak

Chapter 954, Great Change is Approaching

Several thousand kilometers away from Blue Water City, inside a remote mountain valley.

Yang Kai set down the Flying Heavens Shuttle and allowed the rescued middle-aged man and Shui Ling to disembark, all three of them remaining silent with heavy looks upon their faces for a time.

Shui Ling was still a little weak. She had been hit by a Bone Race master’s Divine Sense attack which had caused her some minor wounds. The middle-aged man hurriedly took out some pills from his Universe Bag and let Shui Ling take them.

Seeing her enter a state of meditative recovery, the middle-aged man gradually calmed down and turned to Yang Kai, sincerely cupping his fists and bowing, “Many thanks for little brother’s timely rescue, this humble one is extremely grateful!”

“No need to be so polite,” Yang Kai gently nodded, “It was just a slight effort.”

“Is little brother acquainted with Ling’er?” The middle-aged man looked at Yang Kai curiously.

Yang Kai smiled and asked back, “Are you the Temple Master of Water Spirit Temple, Shui Yun?”

“Indeed!” Shui Yun nodded, “How may I address little brother?”

“Father, he is the one I told you about, Yang Kai!” Shui Ling called out from the side.

Shui Yun’s shoulders trembled as he stared at Yang Kai in amazement, calling out in alarm in the next instant, “So it is Holy Master Yang of Nine Heavens Holy Land! This Shui’s vision was lacking, please forgive my lack of respect!”

After learning Yang Kai’s identity, Shui Yun’s speech immediately became more polite.

In today’s Tong Xuan Realm, no one dared disrespect the master of Nine Heavens Holy Land!

Yang Kai was able to recognize Shui Yun’s identity so easily because Water Spirit Temple only had a single Saint Realm master, the Temple Master Shui Yun. Coupled with the care he showed towards Shui Ling, his identity was obvious.

“Yang Kai, why are you here?” Shui Ling asked Yang Kai while she steadied her breathing.

“I was just passing through,” Yang Kai frowned, his tone lowering as he asked, “Where did those Bone Race masters in Blue Water City come from?”

“Bone Race?” Shui Yun.

“Those walking skeletons that absorb vital essence to mould their physiques!”

“Is Holy Master Yang familiar with them?” Shui Yun expression changed as he asked urgently.

Yang Kai shook his head, “I don’t understand much about them, but I have seen them before, once quite recently. Does Senior Shui know where they came from?”

Shui Yun’s look sank as he sighed, “We don’t know where they came from. A year ago, an iceberg that was about to melt drifted into the vicinity of Water Spirit Temple. Inside it, a disciple found a frozen skeleton. Curious, I retrieved it but after a thorough investigation failed to find anything of value so I casually buried it and that was the end of the matter, or so I thought until a few months ago when that skeleton inexplicably came to life…”

As Shui Yun narrated his story, Yang Kai listened quietly.
