Chapter 1335, You Actually Want Benefits?Editor and Proofreader: Leo of Zion Mountain & Dhael Ligerkeys“Is that all?” Yang Kai asked in surprise after he finished listening.
“That’s alll” Fei Zhi Tu nodded slowly, “After crossing that ice road, whether breaking any kind barriers or rescuing Qian Tong,you don’t need to worry about it, this City Lord will make appropriate arrangements. If not for being unable to find an appropriateFire Attribute artifact to restrain the chill of that ice road, | wouldn’t have delayed for so long. “
Yang Kai stroked his chin silently.
Fei Zhi Tu did not urge him further, allowing Yang Kai time to think things over. This was a matter of great importance, andalthough Fei Zhi Tu said he only wanted to use the power of Yang Kai’s Artifact Spirit to safely cross the ice road, it would stillrequire entering an Ancient Ruin, so saying that there would be no risks was impossible. Even a master like Qian Tong hadbecome trapped in that place, so Fei Zhi Tu could not make any guarantees.
This was a life or death risk, so of course, Yang Kai would need to think about it.
However, Fei Zhi Tu was confident Yang Kai would agree. As Heavenly Fate City’s City Lord, Fei Zhi Tu knew much about thenearby Dragon Cave Mountain and had heard enough rumours about Yang Kai to know he wasn’t an ungrateful villain.
Sure enough, after a while, Yang Kai raised his head and a steady look flashed across his eyes, obviously having made adecision. Noticing this, Fei Zhi Tu immediately stared at him.
“City Lord Fei, my Dragon Cave Mountain truly owes Elder Qian a great graciousness, so now that he has encountered troublethis Junior will naturally try his best to help!”
Hearing this, Fei Zhi Tu gently nodded, a trace of satisfaction appearing on his face as he secretly thought this youth had apraiseworthy sense of character.
But in the next instant, Yang Kai grinned and asked, “But what benefits are there in this for me?”“Benefits?” Fei Zhi Tu was dumbfounded as he gawked towards Yang Kai and asked, “You actually want benefits?”
Yang Kai smiled as he said, “Isn’t City Lord Fei underestimating Junior too much? Junior has already passed the age where heacts hot-blooded and reckless with no regard for the future. City Lord Fei doesn’t think | will agree to help after only hearing a fewwords, right? Since | must take on risks, naturally | want to obtain some benefits!”
Fei Zhi Tu frowned as a trace of disappointment flashed across his face, coldly saying, “But this is about rescuing Qian Tong, notsome random stranger!”
“And so? If Elder Qian had sent me a message personally, of course, Junior would have done his utmost without asking forcompensation, but the one asking for my help now is Senior Fei. Junior is not familiar with you, so naturally, | should be askingyou for benefits; after all, if we successfully rescue Elder Qian, the one Elder Qian will owe a favour to is you. It will have little todo with this Junior.”
“What kind of sophistry is that!?” Fei Zhi Tu’s face went blue as he shouted. Never had he imagined that Yang Kai would bluntlyask him for benefits. This was completely different from what he had envisioned. In Fei Zhi Tu’s opinion, his inviting Yang Kai wasalready giving this youth a great amount of face. If the other party didn’t possess that Fire Attribute Artifact Spirit, with his Third-Order Saint King Realm cultivation, he would simply not be eligible to participate in this action, and when the time really came,how could Qian Tong not show this kid any gratitude?
[This little brat is too shameless!] Fei Zhi Tu snorted angrily.
“Whether or not my words are sophistry, City Lord Fei should be able to judge himself,” Yang Kai replied calmly, not showing anysigns of impatience.
Fei Zhi Tu glared at him for a long time, but suddenly remembering something, he wore a cunning grin and said, “If you wantbenefits, then | will give you benefits! Boy, you killed Xie Hong Wen of the Xie Family, right?”
Yang Kai’s face changed slightly but he quickly said, “City Lord Fei, food can be eaten freely, but words may not be spokenrandomly. What evidence do you have to prove that | killed Xie Hong Wen?”
“Don't try to play dumb with me!” Fei Zhi Tu coldly snorted, “Do you think other people don’t know about what you’ve done?”
Yang Kai frowned, feeling that the other party really was not just making baseless accusations. Quickly wearing a humbleappearance, he asked, “Please enlighten me, Senior.”
Fei Zhi Tu smiled deviously and said, “Your grievances with Xie Hong Wen were known by many people, and when the FlowingFlame Sand Field opened, Xie Hong Wen deliberately brought two Xie Family Saint King Realm disciples with him just to seekrevenge on you. However, when the Flowing Flame Sand field closed, none of them appeared again, so clearly they had died inthe Flowing Flame Sand Field!”
“The Flowing Flame Sand Field is filled with danger. Even if he did die inside, what does that have to do with me?” Yang Kai'sexpression remained indifferent as he continued to deny the charge.
“Shadow Moon Hall has a rather special Secret Technique which can be applied to a Junior by their Elders. When a Junior falls,this Secret Technique will transfer itself to the one who killed them automatically. Not only does Xie Hong Wen have this SecretTechnique placed on him, Wei Gu Chang, Dong Xuan’er and all the other elite disciples of the Sect do as well. | assume this CityLord doesn’t need to explain any further, yes?”
Yang Kai’s flashed an amazed expression. If Fei Zhi Tu was not lying to him, he must have been marked by that SecretTechnique, and if that was the case, his killing Xie Hong Wen was probably not a secret.
“The Xie Family hadn't taken action against you for two reasons, firstly because they feared Qian Tong and secondly becauseyou rarely appeared after returning from the Flowing Flame Sand Field. The barriers and arrays protecting Dragon CaveMountain are extremely powerful, so the Xie Family masters were unable to detect whether that Secret Technique had beentransferred to you, but you leaving Dragon Cave Mountain just once was enough to confirm you killed Xie Hong Wen,” Fei Zhi Tugrinned meaningfully, “As long as you can accompany this City Lord on this trip, not only can | help you to disperse that stubbornSecret Technique, | can also promise you that in the future the Xie Family will never trouble your Dragon Cave Mountain again. |can even restore your previous trade relationship with Shadow Moon Hall, so are these benefits enough?”
While he was talking, Yang Kai had already used his Divine Sense to carefully examine his body, a moment later his expressionturned extremely ugly.
In his body, Yang Kai discovered an extremely well concealed foreign energy mark. This mark’s energy fluctuations were veryweak and if not for him meticulously scanning every inch of his body, Yang Kai would not have noticed it. Even with Fei Zhi Turevealing this, Yang Kai had to check himself three times before he was able to discover the existence of this mark.
It seemed that this Shadow Moon Hall Secret Technique was truly covert.
“You found it?” Fei Zhi Tu looked at him in surprise. Although Yang Kai did not say anything, from the change in his expression,this point was fairly easy to determine.
This Secret Technique was extremely stealthy, and as far as Fei Zhi Tu knew, the mark which was applied to Xie Hong Wen wasplanted by Xie Li. Xie Li was a Second-Order Origin Returning Realm cultivator, but even a master with equivalent strength maynot have been able to find a trace of it, so how had this Third-Order Saint King youth done so?
Fei Zhi Tu could not help admiring Yang Kai while secretly wondering if he had used some kind of powerful artifact to help himfind this mark.
Yang Kai did not answer his question and instead tried to wrap this weak energy mark with his Demonic Flames to dissolve it.However, he soon found that although this mark’s energy fluctuations were extremely weak, they were also extremely difficult torefine. From the looks of it, it would take at least a few days to eliminate this mark.
Now that he had found it though, Yang Kai wasn’t in a hurry to remove it and pondered for a moment before turning to Fei Zhi Tuwith a solemn expression, “I can agree with half of Senior’s proposal!”
“Half?”
“En, after this matter is completed, Dragon Cave Mountain’s trade relationship with Shadow Moon Hall can be restored, but theprice of goods will need to be discussed again. As for Xie Family... heh, this Junior only has one request.”
“Let's hear it!” Fei Zhi Tu narrowed his eyes at him.“Shadow Moon Hall must not interfere with my and the Xie Family’s grievances!” Yang Kai declared.
Fei Zhi Tu raised his brow in astonishment. He had thought that Yang Kai was going to ask Shadow Moon Hall to suppress theXie Family and not allow them to seek trouble with Dragon Cave Mountain in the future, how could he have known that this littlebrat's courage would be so great. From the request Yang Kai made, it was obvious he wanted to personally and permanentlysettle things with Xie Family!
After understanding this point, Fei Zhi Tu suddenly became interested.
Although the Xie Family wasn't atop-level family, it still had manyOrigin Returning Realm masters withits Pale (e peind XkyeruineSbebhdOrder Origin Realm master.With the strength of Dragon CaveMountain today, could it reallycompete with a force like this?

Fei Zhi Tu didn’t want to interfere inthe grievances between Yang Kai andXie Family in the first place, and hewas completely disinterested in whatkind of bear hearts wal leopard gallsthis Boy Nad eaten to dare run hismouth like this, so he immediatelynodded, “Sounds reasonable.

He was not very confident about Yang Kai’s chances.
Yang Kai did not bother arguing with him and instead began discussing the details of the operation. After agreeing on a date andplace to meet, he got up and left the City Lord’s Mansion alone.
After Yang Kai left, Fei Zhi Tu frowned and muttered, “Wait, why didn’t that boy ask me to help him get rid of that SecretTechnique mark? Does he have a way to remove it himself?”
Thinking about it for a while, Fei Zhi Tu slowly shook his head, too lazy to bother with it any further. The Xie Family already knewthat Xie Hong Wen had died at Yang Kai’s hands, so it didn’t really matter if this mark was removed or not.
Yang Kai returned to Dragon Cave Mountain without alerting anyone.
The date he agreed on with Fei Zhi Tu was in three days’ time. Fei Zhi Tu apparently still had to make some preparations and hehad to make sure to conceal his activities, otherwise, he might draw unwanted attention.
Taking advantage of these three days, Yang Kai planned to purge the weak mark from his body. Although from what Fei Zhi Tuhad explained, this Secret Technique was only used to determine the killer of an elite disciple, who knows what other kinds ofeffects it could have?
Such a thing lingering inside his body made it impossible for Yang Kai to rest easy.Fortunately, Yang Kai’s Demonic Flames were quite extraordinary, incomparable to the Saint Qi of ordinary cultivators.
With the Artifact Spirit Firebird’s help, only two days later, Yang Kai managed to destroy the energy mark and, upon re-examininghimself, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, Yang Kai summoned Chang Qi, Hao An, Yang Yan, Wu Yi, and Qian Yue, carefully telling them not to go out during thistime, so as not to be targeted by the Xie Family's people. After seeing everyone nod, Yang Kai returned to his cave mansion tomake a few preparations.
