150 Chapter 150 (1/2)
Yang Kai waited for the right time to speak out. His disciple was now giving that Feng Clan girl a good beating, his master was quite okay with the tough handling of the lady. He didn't see anything wrong with it as he only cared about things related to him, other people that got in the way could be used and abused.
”There they go...”
The Feng Matriarch finally got involved in the fight, throwing in the towel to stop it her aura filling the whole colosseum. The guards that were keeping watch were alerted to the spike in spiritual Qi, and it was a lot of it. The woman was already at the great circle of core formation, so even the people from the Dark Palm sect would have some troubles of handling her without someone at the nascent soul to totally overpower her.
”It's time...”
The man smirked and moved his finger out. His spatial ring glowing faintly as a mirror appeared in front of him. He moved his face to one side and then to the other. He grinned widely so that he could see those pearly whites of his, and he made sure not to have any pieces of food stuck there. Yes, he was mostly just checking if he looked presentable.
”Mmm, no woman could resist this smile!”
He nodded to his reflection in the mirror and put it back into his spatial ring. His VIP room had a window that blocked prying eyes from seeing inside. This one-way glass started slowly sliding down as it revealed the Dark Palm lord inside the VIP room. The people didn't notice it yet as this room was positioned above the audience. Yang Kai then cleared his throat and took in a good amount of air before shouting out.
”HALT, THIS MATCH WILL NOT END!”
His intentions were made clear and the Feng Matriarch's eyes went bloodshot. The judge that was overseeing the whole thing just bowed and returned to his seat, not wanting to get involved in this young master's scheme.
”It would be rude to stop a match between two youths just yet, look at that girl she is still standing, she has yet to show us her true potential.”
The man said in a calm voice, but it was backed by his cultivation so everyone in the area could clearly hear him. Feng Liena and the rest of the people that were in her VIP booth were taken aback. The man clearly had way more pull here than they could ever have, this was his home turf and they were just some country bumpkins. Still, the young Matriarch couldn't just let her sister be brutally mutilated or maybe even worse, die.
She bowed slightly while cupping her fists and bowing towards the man that shouted out. She might be able to get out of this predicament if the man called Yang Kai could be reasoned with.
”The Matriarch from the Fang Clan greets senior from the Dark Palm Sect.”
The man just nodded while trying not to grin too much. This was more or less a signal as he allowed the woman to speak.
”My foolish sister is beneath the junior she is fighting and has clearly lost, please allow us to end this match senior...”
The man looked at his disciple that was holding on to the girl's hair, he had the impromptu rock blade in his hand and was ready to start cutting. He had stopped for the time being as the aura that Feng Liena released had caught him off guard. He was still only in the foundation establishment so he could handle someone at the core formation level.
The shield that was protecting the ring only partially held the aura attack at bay. Now he was just watching the show, his rage had subsided slightly but he would still like to carve out something on this girl's face. His cover of a wholesome young master was already out of the window, so he didn't care anymore.
”Yes indeed, she was a foolish child... but she managed to injure my cute disciple and I'm not sure he is willing to let things go that easily...”
He looked at Deng Cai that just nodded and moved his blade to the girl's face, inching it closer and closer.
”P-please wait... I'm sure we could work something out, show mercy oh great senior!”
This time Feng Maling moved in, bowing her head while almost hitting the railing in the process. To Cai's surprise, he saw his Master moving his hand upwards that indicated him to stop before he could touch the girl's skin.
”Hmm... work something out you say... yes we could do that... how about...”
The man paused for a moment, making it look as if he was contemplating this matter very seriously. His eyes were closed and he was even rubbing his chin with his own thumb for a dramatic effect. His eyes then shot up and he did a little clap, indicating that he had some kind of idea.
”How about we have a small wager? If you win my disciple will leave your clan member be and the match will be over.”
He then licked his lips and continued to talk, no one brave enough to interrupt his speech.
”But if you lose, you'll have to give me something ... something substantively more valuable than that little girl's life...”
The Feng Matriarch went quiet. She didn't know what the wager would be or what the thing that this man wanted was, but she had a hunch about what it was.
”How would we go about this wager...”
She asked, quite curious. The man swished his long robe sleeve and just looked back with a sneer.
”Oh, nothing too serious. This whole thing started as a squabble between the junior generation, so it would be best if they handled it.”
The woman still didn't know where this man was going with it, so she just stayed quiet and listened to the explanation.
”What I mean is, have another from your members fight my disciple. They just need to win against my disciple, anyone is fine if you can get them to fight for you.”
The man moved his hand outward making it look as if he was trying to hug someone as he finished talking. The gist of it was that he wanted the Feng Clan to get someone to face his disciple in battle, if that person won they would all be free to go. He didn't think that anyone from these clans could actually beat his disciple, so in his eyes, this was a sure-fire win.
”How about I give you an incense stick of time to make your arrangements? ”
