Martial Peak

Chapter 2961, Human Sovereign

This proved that his guess was right. When he had unleashed the first Flame Snake Spell, there was indeed a sliver of resonance with the Sacred Tree, resulting in a faint connection being formed. After successively casting the Spell, this connection grew substantially stronger.

This resulted in Yang Kai gaining the blessings of the Sacred Tree, allowing him to display what the goateed man recognized as Sacred Techniques.

The so-called Sacred Techniques were just Shamanic Spells that had received a blessing of power.

The citizens of Human Imperial City had assumed that the Sacred Tree was protecting the Imperial Family, resulting in the Imperial Family becoming existences that could not be provoked or disrespected, while granting them many different privileges that no one could go against. However, the truth was simply that the only Shamans in Human Imperial City were from the Imperial Family, a status which allowed them to form a resonance and connection with the Sacred Tree to enable them to tap into the strength of the Sacred Tree.

Other than the Imperial Family, there was basically no one else that could cultivate Shamanic Strength. In other words, they were obstructed from cultivating Shamanic Spells.

This should be the method used to control Human Imperial City.

There was only one thing that Yang Kai could not understand. Exactly what was the Sacred Tree? Why did it protect Shamans, and offer them its strength?

Various thoughts swam through his mind, though Yang Kai could not find the answer for the time being, as the only way he could do so was to personally take a look at the Sacred Tree. However, how would that be an easy task to accomplish? Since the Sacred Tree’s importance was tantamount in this place, it would definitely be well guarded by Human Imperial City. Therefore, it would be more difficult than ascending to the Heavens for Yang Kai, an outsider, to be able to see the Sacred Tree in person.

Focusing his attention towards the tall and skinny man, Yang Kai smiled faintly and said, “Let me guess, since the First and Third Imperial Princes have appeared, could your excellency be a person of the Second Imperial Prince? No, that doesn’t seem right; although I also do not know if there is any Second Imperial Prince at all.”

The tall and skinny man’s expression remained emotionless as he replied in an indifferent tone, “How can you be so sure?”

His voice sounded like what a person with a skinny build would sound like, while his tone seemed to be exceedingly raspy, as though he had not drunk any water for several dozen years.

Yang Kai snorted in reply, “Since ancient times, Imperial Families have not cared about family relationships, and it is inevitable for intense struggles and underhand schemes to occur between princes. If you really were a person of the Second Prince, you would be ecstatic for the First Imperial Prince to kick the bucket as soon as possible, so why would you bother to save him? The Spirit Pill you just fed to him was quite expensive after all.”

“So that’s how it is. Looks like you have quite a sharp mind.” The tall and skinny man nodded lightly, “You’re right, I’m not a person of the Second Imperial Prince.”

“Then whose person are you?” Yang Kai’s eyes narrowed as he asked.

The tall and skinny man replied, “I’m here on orders from the Human Sovereign to invite you two to the palace!”

“Human Sovereign!” Yang Kai raised his brow, before turning his head towards Zhu Qing, “Madame, should we go or not?”

Zhu Qing replied, “I’ll let you decide.”

Yang Kai nodded lightly, before flashing a faint smile, “Let me ask a question first. Having beaten the First Imperial Prince up, would the Human Sovereign punish me?”

The tall and skinny man replied, “This lowly one isn’t fit to judge the intentions of the Human Sovereign. I’m just acting on orders! Please cooperate!”
