Rebirth: City Sovereign

Cheng Tong fell to the ground, his mouth releasing a painful cry, his body continuously rolling and thrashing about.    

The way the Spiritual Insect extracted its memories was extremely primitive and cruel, and an unbearable tearing pain came to his head. In Cheng Tong's mouth, white foam and fresh blood mixed together, and flowed slowly from the corner of his mouth to the ground.    

This painful scene lasted for several minutes. Finally, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black and red blood. His body was like a spring as it twitched.    

Seeing Cheng Tong's miserable death, Yang Yan's face became pale, but Ye Kai did not have any expression, he had done this too many times, he only raised his hand slightly, with a tap of his finger, the little Gu worm inside his ear made a satisfied chirp, and immediately drilled into Ye Kai's palm.    

"What is this?" At the side, Yang Yan asked curiously as she looked at the little bug.    

"Spiritual Insect, I used it to extract this guy's memories." Ye Kai replied as he pointed out a strand of spirit energy. On the Spiritual Insect's body, the little bug wiggled twice and then disappeared into Ye Kai's palm in a flash.    

Slowly closing his eyes, ignoring the burning flames and the smell of blood around him, Ye Kai sat cross-legged on the ground. In his mind, he began to share Cheng Tong's memories with the Spiritual Insect.    

Seeing Ye Kai's expression, Yang Yan also obediently closed her mouth, and waited quietly at the side.    

The images in frames were like projections as they played back in reverse. Ye Kai calmed his heart and slowly searched for news regarding Yang Yun.    

Tonight, Cheng Tong was on the mountain with another Red-Haired Man, targeting himself and Yang Yan. Looks like this was the fuse of tonight's events.    

If he had investigated even earlier, he would have killed someone, robbed someone, and absorbed their cultivation memory. Cheng Tong had done all sorts of things in his Earth God Star and deserved to die, but that was not what Ye Kai wanted to see right now.    

Dozens of men, who dressed in all sorts of attire, stood to the left and right of a large hall that was dark and not even five fingers away. Inside, there was even the dead Soul Casting Sect Sect Master and Situ Zhen who were with Ye Kai.    

In the deepest part of the hall, a tall altar appeared. On top of the altar, a man with black hair and red eyes opened his mouth and said something excitedly.    

Found it!    

Ye Kai focused his mind, and carefully listened to what Yang Yun was saying within his memories.    

The words' plans' and 'plans' were transmitted directly to Ye Kai's mind, and Ye Kai's expression became even more solemn.    

Sure enough, the disappearance of the celestial sovereign was closely related to Yang Yun, but what Ye Kai did not expect was that Yang Yun did not hesitate to cooperate with the races outside in order to seal the celestial sovereign.    

As for that 'plan', it probably had something to do with the people from the star systems near the edge of Immortal Realm being captured.    

As Ye Kai thought, he listened to what Yang Yun had to say. When he heard Yang Yun say "There will be a day when the world is invincible", the expression on his face became even more solemn.    

However, these memories were probably all made up of Yang Yun giving a speech on the altar, and didn't have any changes to his personality. From the time line, the most recent time that Yang Yun appeared in front of the sect masters should have been just a little before his fight with him.    

To find any useful information related to Yang Yun in a person's life was equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack. If one were to slowly read through all of it, it would probably take at least ten to fifteen days, and it would simply be impossible.    

However, since he had already found the location where Yang Yun would appear, Ye Kai eliminated all the useless memories and only searched through the memories related to that dark underground space.    

Very quickly, the second segment of Cheng Tong's memories appeared.    

In the same dusky space, in the same mode, Yang Yun sat on the stone chair on the altar alone. Under him, there were still dozens of sect masters of different Major Sect.    

This memory was probably Yang Yun's routine inspection, asking him about the implementation of the sect master's plans.    

"In these three months, our sect has captured a total of 496 young men." In his memory, one of the sect leaders opened his mouth and replied with a smile.    

"Mm, not bad." Yang Yun nodded with a relaxed expression, as if he was very satisfied.    

Following that, each sect leader reported how many youths they had captured to Yang Yun. Beside Yang Yun, a beautiful woman was holding onto a brush as she recorded everything down.    

In the end, Yang Yun assigned a few spirit stones as rewards based on the number of people he had captured in each sect, and the meeting ended.    

After looking through the memories, Ye Kai heaved a long sigh of relief.    

Yang Yun asked the sect masters about the status of the implementation of the plans, which they all answered one by one, and in the end, he gave them the spirit stones.    

Although these details were also very important, they were not what Ye Kai wanted to see the most. He continued to search until Cheng Tong entered the sect at the age of ten, and all the memories he had of Yang Yun were almost exactly the same.    

After searching till here, Ye Kai's face became even more solemn.    

For him to say something like that, Cheng Tong must have known something extremely secretive about Yang Yun, but Ye Kai had not found him.    

"Hey, I said, how is it?" Just then, Yang Yan opened her mouth and asked anxiously.    

"Why don't we leave first? It seems like someone is looking for trouble."    

Hearing Yang Yan's words, Ye Kai slightly widened his eyes and saw that about two to three kilometers away, there were a few hundred fiery red robed men rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed.    

"No problem, just give me a little more time."    

The memories extracted by the Spiritual Insect could only be extracted once. If they were to directly stop now, Cheng Tong's memories would immediately become useless. At this critical juncture, Ye Kai did not want to give up.    

After Ye Kai finished speaking, he raised both of his hands and conjured a set of incantations, imbuing all of his Spiritual Strength into Cheng Tong's memories, carefully searching for any information related to Yang Yun.    

There must be something that he had missed out on.    

Since there was no more news about Yang Yun in the dark hall, then Cheng Tong must have peeked Yang Yun's secret without Yang Yun being aware of it.    

Where, where.    

The worry in his heart was getting harder and harder to bear, but Ye Kai continued to carefully search through Cheng Tong's memories.    

Five years ago    

Ten years ago    

Twenty years ago    

Twenty-five years ago    

Cheng Tong's dirty life flashed through his mind but in those memories, Yang Yun had never appeared.    

Thirty Years Ago    

In the middle of a small Congli, Cheng Tong, who looked like a teenager, was hiding behind a big tree. He looked up, and saw a man dressed in Black Robe robes with black hair and red eyes, who, other than Yang Yun, was definitely not anyone else.    

Found it!    

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ye Kai continued to descend.    

"Cough!" Cough! "Ahem!"    

In his memory, Yang Yun hunched over, supporting himself by a huge tree, one hand covering his mouth, constantly coughing in pain.    

In the palm of his hand that was covering his mouth, black and red Blood Line s slowly flowed out from between his fingers. Every time Yang Yun coughed, his body would sink a little bit deeper into the ground.    

Releasing his hands, Yang Yun leaned on the side of the tree, and gasped for breath slowly. The corner of his mouth was filled with blood.    

"Whoosh, whoosh."    

Seeing this scene, even Ye Kai could not help but pause for a moment.    

Following that, a somewhat mocking voice came out from the top of Yang Yun's head.    

"Tsk tsk tsk, I really did not expect that even the Immortal Monarch of North would be affected by the terminal illness of the Immortal Realm, and end up like this."    

When the voice entered his mind, Ye Kai's expression was stunned for a moment before suddenly sinking.    

"I didn't expect it to be you!"    

In his memory, Yang Yun also raised his head and looked at the source of the voice. An illusory figure in a suit slowly landed on the ground, and spoke with an ugly expression.    

"Demon Star Domain's Master, Demon Elder, Sullivan!"
