Chapter 822: A Single Blade Attends a Banquet
Translator: Sigma_ Editor: SSins
A secret cavern in the Land of God Punishment.
Ka Tuo sat cross-legged, his face calm. Suddenly, he felt something and he took out a Sound Stone from his sleeve. Ka Tuo frowned and checked the stone.
The sound wave that came from the Sound Stone echoed directly in Ka Tuo's Sea of Consciousness. His eyes brightened up, smiling. "Brother, Feng Ke has saved your people."
Shi Yan cheered up, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure," Ka Tuo nodded, "My people saw those three. The Soul Sucking Demonic Flowers were gone. They've recovered. I think they are slowly restoring their power. Nothing bad has happened."
"Have them bring my people here," advised Shi Yan.
"Okay."
Ka Tuo stroked the Sound Stone, sending his message.
"What should we do now?" asked Ka Fu.
Shi Yan got up, contemplating. "I agreed with Feng Rao that after they healed those three, I would give her the star map. It seems like I have to go to the Heaven Punishment City this time to solve this."
"Brother, will it be okay going to the Heaven Punishment City now?" Ka Tuo was a little bit worried.
"They saved my people. I'm coming to hand over the star map. What danger could there be?"
Shi Yan smiled, talking nonchalantly, "Their objective is my star map. They won't cause more trouble."
"Brother, you shouldn't negotiate a life star... You better not. A life star is so precious. It is not guaranteed that Feng Ke will give you one. If you provoke him, he may punish you." Ka Tuo hesitated for a while before reminding Shi Yan.
"Right, I understand. Once the other three come here, you guys arrange for them to leave the Land of God Punishment." Shi Yan took a deep breath then continued, "I'm going now. Contact me if anything happens."
"Okay."
Shi Yan emerged to the stone passage of the underground cavern. He navigated which direction to go and then left.
Fifteen minutes after he left, Ka Fu released his Soul Consciousness to sense. Then, his face darkened. He asked, "Da-ge, why didn't you take the star map? With the star map, we can bargain with any force. You've received the Essence Inheritance. That kid is no use to you now. Did you really consider him your senior? In our Land of God Punishment, benefits go first. Everything else is just bullshit."
After he found out that Shi Yan got the map, Ka Fu signaled Ka Tuo many times to rob it directly.
He had soon recognized that Shi Yan had only the Second Sky of King God Realm, the same realm as him. At the same time, Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo was at the Peak of King God Realm. After he had received the Essence Inheritance, he had stepped one foot closer to reaching the Original God Realm.
Ka Fu thought that once his brother joined hands to rob the star map from Shi Yan, it would have been effortless.
When they got the star map, they would have been able to escape the Land of God Punishment and hide in their lair. While waiting for Ka Tuo to break into the Original God Realm, they could have explored the star map or exchange it for something just as good. These two options were much better than following Shi Yan.
Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo contemplated for a while then said weakly, "Do you know what realm he had the first time I met him?"
"What realm?" Ka Fu was surprised.
"The Second Sky of True God Realm," Ka Tuo took a deep breath. "It took just seven years. Seven. Years. He's reached the King God Realm and even the Second Sky of King God Realm! Can you believe it?"
Ka Fu discolored in fright. He couldn't help but shout, "How could this be?"
Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo smiled miserably, shaking his head. "It's okay if you don't believe me. I've seen it with my own eyes, but I can't believe it's true. He spent seven years to cross a major realm, from the Second Sky of True God Realm to the Second Sky of King God Realm. Have you ever heard of any talent like him in our Raging Flame Star Area?"
"Never!" Ka Fu's voice trembled, his eyes showing deep fear.
"That year in the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field, he had only the True God Realm cultivation base. However, his performance was comparable to the King God Realm." Ka Tuo recalled his painful memories. "Actually, I was fluttered. Of course, he had utilized the special condition of the Solar Star Exploding Fragment Field. Anyhow, I couldn't kill him. And today, he's reached the Second Sky of King God Realm. I can sense that his aura is more than five times stronger than yours!"
Ka Fu was shaken. He looked dumbstruck.
"I'm sure that if we had attacked him, not only would we have had gotten nothing, but we would have also lost the chance to be on his side." Ka Tuo looked at his brother deep in the eyes. "His real power isn't less than mine. Although I'm combative and blunt, I'm not stupid."
Ka Fu didn't say anything else.
"Having a good relationship with him is better than being his enemies. If I were sure that I could smash him, would I be so patient to wait until this moment and call him brother for so long?" Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo forced a smile and shook his head. "I can't see myself beating him. I can't. If he has enough time to cultivate, he will be the brightest star in the Raging Flame Star Area. His light can even subdue the greatest like Du Tian Ji and Fan Tian. If I don't seize this chance in having a good relationship with him, will I be any different from an idiot?"
Ka Fu was surprised. After a long time, he nodded and sighed. "Da-ge, I was wrong. My vision was narrow."
"Cooperate with him. No matter what he does, we have to support him wholeheartedly. He will change our destiny. I believe in him!" Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo said loud and clear.
Ka Fu's eyes brightened.

Blue Demon Pirates' base, Heaven Punishment City.
Feng Rao was sitting neatly on her high platform, waiting for something, her eyes gloomy.
"Ka Tuo's troops had taken the other three away for a long time. If Ka Tuo was still in the Land of God Punishment, he should have taken action by now. Why has that kid not come here yet?" Feng Xiao was worried and he walked back and forth impatiently. "Little sister, are you sure that kid was not just joking with you?"
Feng Rao shook her head, smiling reluctantly. "I don't think so. He knows that nothing good would happen by standing against us in the Land of God Punishment. Moreover, with his power, even if he has the star map, he can't do anything alone.
"Is it possible that Ka Tuo took the star map?" Feng Ke squinted and furrowed his brows. "Ka Tuo has always been infamous. If he knew about the star map, he would have taken action. I understand him well. For his welfare, he won't care about anything else."
"It is possible," Feng Xiao nodded, jabbering, "Should we send troops to clean up Ka Tuo's base?"
"Impossible, Ka Tuo isn't an idiot," Feng Ke shook his head.
"Then what should we do? Just wait like this? Wait for that kid to turn himself in? It doesn't sound like a good plan..." Feng Xiao scratched his head thinking about this tricky problem. "If we don't get the star map, we will lose our face this time. We have invited leaders of the greatest forces everywhere to gather in the Land of God Punishment. And now we're going to tell them that we got wrong information. They will ridicule us for sure."
"Even if Ka Tuo has different plans, it won't work," Feng Rao was calm. "Ka Tuo is at the Third Sky of King God Realm and his brother is at the Second Sky of King God Realm. Even if they join hands, they won't be able to capture Shi Yan."
"Sister, did he enchant you? He's just a warrior at the Second Sky of King God Realm. How could he defeat those brothers? What kind of joke is that!" Feng Xiao was enraged. "You let your emotions control you. I think your thought process has gone astray. You can't see the real situation."
Feng Ke didn't believe what his daughter said. "It didn't sound real that he could defeat those brothers. Little Rao, you over thought this."
Feng Rao was so vexed. As she had fought Shi Yan, she knew how tough he was. Nevertheless, Bloody Slaughterer Ka Tuo was also an infamous villain in the Land of God Punishment. Most of the warriors at the same level couldn't fight as worthy opponents. Ka Fu, his brother, was also a cunning opponent. This pair of brothers had been together for so many years, but they hadn't had many failures.
If she had never fought against Shi Yan, she wouldn't have believed that Shi Yan could escape these two brothers either. However, she believed that he could do that despite the fact that her father and brother didn't buy it.
"Wait a little longer. I believe he will show up. He won't... he won't deceive me." Feng Rao didn't have absolute confidence in this.
"Even if you guys were close, for the star map, he would lie to anyone. My sister, you are a heroine. Why are you sorrowful because of the loss of affection? Sigh, women. When in love, their intelligence quotient reduces greatly. We shouldn't trust your suggestions." Feng Xiao felt very annoyed. He walked to the door and shouted, "We have to do something. We can't just wait like this."
"Okay, you send troops to search around. Do not dismiss any cavern. When you find anything about that kid, report immediately." Feng Ke nodded, agreeing with this plan and believing that his daughter had made a mistake this time.
Feng Rao grimaced. Waiting for Shi Yan, she started to doubt herself, thinking that Shi Yan might have deceived her.
However, at this moment, a voice arose. "Chief, a young man asked to see you. He said his name is Shi Yan."
Feng Rao's soft body shivered. An extreme joy sparkled in her eyes. As her heart sent out vibes, she calmed down but maintained her smile.
Feng Ke was astounded. He jolted and shouted, "Bring him in!"
Feng Xiao halted by the door and burst out laughing with an odd face. "Oh well. I guess there is someone as stupid as Feng Rao. Haha. He comes. I'm so surprised." He looked at Feng Rao, laughing. "Sister, you do have your tricks. That kid must have been so charmed and deluded that he couldn't see the right road."
Feng Ke also smiled. "It is fortunate that he came. I didn't expect that he would be a man of his words. I looked down at him. Yeah. This boy is truly a character. He dares to come to our lair. Haha, interesting!"
"Ka Tuo and his brother couldn't deal with him. I told you!" Feng Rao smiled in content. She stood up and walked to a bright mirror to adjust her hair and dabbed a thin layer of powder on her face. After making sure that she was flawlessly beautiful, she walked to the door.
On the wide street, Shi Yan stood upright like a spear, his visage valiant, cold and harsh.
Warriors of the Blue Demon Pirates were waiting for him solemnly, inviting him to get in.
Shi Yan nodded without a beam of fear in his eyes. He walked with his head held high. He deliberately strolled towards the most dangerous place of the Land of God Punishment.
