What Yang Kai did not expect was that the Gong Family’s former Patriarch would actually be so vicious as to disregard the family’s reputation just for the sake of one Ancient Cave Mansion.

“Brother Gong is naturally the real Brother Gong. I don’t know why you’re suspecting him.” Yang Tai looked at Yang Kai with a mocking gaze, as if laughing at him for thinking himself clever.

Yang Kai sighed, “Anyway, you and Gong Yue are in the same boat. That I’m not wrong about.”

But Yang Kai made another mistake. He thought that Fang Zhuo was also one of their accomplices because Fang Zhuo had lost too quickly during his Spirit Array match with Gong Yue, which was what verified Gong Yue’s identity for everyone.

Yang Kai thought that he was just acting, so he was suspicious of Fang Zhuo as well, but now he knew that Gong Yue was the real deal, and really did have the ability to crush Fang Zhuo when it came to Spirit Arrays.

“Are you trying to find this array’s weak spot?” Yang Tai himself was a First-Order Emperor, and he also had the wisdom that came with age, so it was naturally impossible for him to not realize Yang Kai’s intentions here. However, he did not seem to show any fear, nor was he in any rush to stop Yang Kai’s movements. Instead, he showed a taunting smile, “Then you better look properly, because Brother Gong’s Spirit Arrays don’t come with many flaws.”

Yang Kai suddenly turned his head and looked straight at him and muttered, “So that’s how it is.”

Yang Tai laughed, “So you figured it out?”

Yang Kai nodded, “It’s all thanks to your words. You are the centre of this Spirit Array, its Array Core so to speak.”

Yang Tai nodded readily, “That’s right. I entered this array with control of the Array Core, so it is quite a simple task to break this array. You just have to kill me.” He smiled smugly like an old fox that had snatched a chicken, “But… Do you have that ability?”

It wasn’t that he looked down on Yang Kai. Even though the two of them were around the same realm in terms of cultivation, he had seen Yang Kai’s moves when they were cutting through the poison mist. His attacks were weak and it was hard for him to keep up, his aura was also fluctuating and unstable, proving the speculation the group had about Yang Kai being injured. What’s more, Yang Tai gained control of this Illusion Array from Gong Yue, becoming its Array Core, so he could exert strength far beyond that of just an ordinary First-Order Emperor here.

That was why he had no fear. Even if Yang Kai realized where the Array Core was, he still couldn’t break this array.

“Why?” Yang Kai furrowed his brows.

“What do you mean why?” Yang Tai wasn’t in a hurry to make a move as he had an absolute advantage at this moment and knew he could strike at any time to effortlessly take Yang Kai’s life.
