Martial Peak

The middle-aged man who led Yang Kai to the power room spoke a few more words to the cultivator named Ke Meng before leaving.

As the two talked, Yang Kai said nothing and just silently observed his surroundings, his obedient performance satisfying Ke Meng very much.

“Little brat, come with me!” Ke Meng beckoned to Yang Kai and led him over to the centre of the power room.

A short time later, the two came to a slot on the floor.

This slot was already occupied by another cultivator who had both his hands and feet shackled to the floor, forcing him to sit cross-legged. However, at this time, it was clear that this man had already died as he showed no signs of vitality.

Before dying though, it seemed as though he had suffered an immense amount of pain. His eyes bulged round and his mouth was agape, the veins on his neck clearly visible.

Obviously, he had suffered unimaginable torture, his body little more than flesh and bones now, his skin pale without the slightest trace of colour or blood.

“Someone, come and throw this corpse out,” Ke Meng shouted to the side.

Immediately after he shouted, a cultivator rushed over, unchained the corpse, and carried it off.

Ke Meng sneered as the turned to Yang Kai, “Little brat, sit here obediently and I won’t make you suffer much; after all, you’re Senior Bi Ya person and I don’t want to make her unhappy. As long as you cooperate, it’ll be to both of our advantages.”

Yang Kai gently nodded.

Ke Meng laughed, “That’s for the best. En, sit down here.”

Saying so, he pointed to the spot the dead man was just occupying.

Yang Kai sat down honestly and allowed Ke Meng to shackle both his hands and feet.

There were many Saint Realm masters concealing themselves inside this Starship power room, and Yang Kai could even feel an aura that belonged to a Saint King Realm powerhouse nearby.

Facing this kind of lineup, he didn’t dare act rashly.

After the shackles were attached though, Yang Kai’s expression changed dramatically.

He instantly discovered that these shackles were madly absorbing the Saint Qi from his body and feeding it into the Starship itself. Together with the energy of the huge Saint Crystals spread throughout this room, they were supplying the power that let the Starship move.

Yang Kai finally understood why so many cultivators were shackled in this place.

It also explained why the cultivators who were bound here all had weak and sluggish auras.
