Harem Overlord

"But let's do that after the ending ceremony." Kai said as he put the piece inside his pendant.

Since no one participated in the semi-finals, the Blue Moon sect and the royal family were the only remaining participants and therefore won the first and second positions.

"Who are you?" Both Watanabe and Riang asked Kai as they were standing on the stage for receiving prizes.

"Perhaps one day, you will finally know who I am." Kai said mysteriously before he went forward as his name was called.

"Rigging my sect's match. I don't think that will make you popular if this news got out." Kai said to Zian Asahi who was presenting the gifts.

"I am going to leave you and your sect alone." Asahi replied as Kai smiled.

"You are a smart person." Kai said as the rest of the sect came to stand behind him.

"The Blue Moon sect has defeated the royal family and taken the first position in this tournament. You will receive a million spirit stones and five low-tier divine grade treasures for your victory." Asahi said as he took out two space rings.

One of them contained a million spirit stones while the second one contained the treasures. He handed them to Kai who just tossed them into his pendant.

"And with that, the Black tiger tournament is concluded." Asahi announced as everyone returned to their hotels since it was too late to leave for their homes.

But Kai just teleported the entire sect back to the Blue Moon sect.

"Who the hell are these people?" Riang asked as she looked kicked a dead body.

Hundreds of dead bodies were lying around the entire sect and all of them were roasted to the core.

"These people are thieves who forcefully wanted to enter the sect in our absence. It's a good thing that I placed a formation around the sect before leaving." Kai explained as a formation lit up around the sect.

"This will protect the sect in my absence. No one can cross this barrier unless you allow them to enter. Put someone on the entrance of the sect so that they can warn anyone who tries to enter the sect." Kai said to Riang as she nodded.

"Only people allowed by me can enter this barrier?" She asked once again as Kai nodded.

"All the disciples are already registered in this and they can enter or leave the sect freely." Kai said before he teleported away with Mia and Mariel.

"Classic Kai." Riang sighed as she went back to her room.

"You could have waited for some time before teleporting." Mia said as the three of them appeared on the edge of the continent.

"I am not wasting any more time. Who now's what's happening to Risea?" He said as he took out the broken piece of the space gate.

"How will this piece take us to the central continent?" Mariel asked as she remembered that no space gate was connected with the central continent anymore.

"This piece is a little special as this is from the temporary space gate. It is linked with the central continent and we are going there." Kai replied as he shattered the piece.

Space energy started to wrap itself around Kai as his eyes started glowing. Mia and Mariel held on to his arms so they won't get separated.

"I made a mistake." Kai said to Mia and Mariel before the three of them vanished.

"Why are we falling in the middle of the ocean?!" Mia asked as the three of them were falling towards the ocean.

"The central continent changes its position depending on the flow of spiritual energy. It's currently hovering over a place that has the highest level of spiritual energy. That shard was connected with the central continent when it hovered over this spot." Kai replied as his eyes turned ocean blue.

The ocean stopped moving and became completely still as the trio gracefully landed on the water.

"So we are basically stuck here until the time you recover your spiritual energy." Mariel said as Kai sat down in a cultivation pose.

It was weird considering that he was sitting on water. Whereas Mia froze some part of the water for her and Mariel to sit down.

Kai took out some spirit stones and started recovering his spiritual energy. It took him an hour to restore his energy before he stood up.

He closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to sense the level of spiritual energy present around him. His eyes flew open as he sensed the highest level of spiritual energy present on the entire continent.

He then teleported the three of them to their source and they appeared on an island that was hovering above the water.

But calling it an island might be an understatement as it was twice as large as the western continent.

"The Central continent." Kai slowly said as his knees gave up and he slipped.

Mia and Mariel both caught him from falling and they hooked up one of their arms under his shoulder and supported him.

"You didn't recover yourself, did you?" Mariel asked as Kai smiled and nodded.

"You are a big idiot since you can't rescue Risea without being at full power." Mia said as Kai nodded.

Mia and Mariel found a cave and decided to stay here till the time Kai recovered his strength.

They covered up the sect to make sure that no one would find them. They then laid down and put Kai's head on their laps.

They decided to keep watch but their eyes closed after a few minutes. They didn't want to admit but they were tired after such a long teleportation.

Both of them thought how Kai did wide-range teleportation regularly but still looked fine. But it was then that they realized that he just acted fine for their sake.

While thinking this, they finally fell asleep as Kai remained awake on their laps. He stared at their faces before smiling.

'It's so relaxing.' Kai thought as he felt the smooth skin under his head. It was enough to make him sleep but he couldn't do it.

He just focused on restoring his energy so that he could find Risea without any problems. While doing that, he thought about his encounter with Levina.

He had wanted to restore her memories but he couldn't do that because of the seal on her mind or she would have gone crazy.

But he still remembered how he met her for the first time. Everyone in the upper realms knew that he kidnapped the elemental rulers but no one knew why he did that.

The reason for him doing this was because they had asked him to do this. In the spirit world, Mariel, Levina, and the rest of the elemental rulers maintained peace between the spirits.

But every now and then, some idiot would come and try to marry them. Many spirits had challenged the elemental rulers to make them their wives and many of them had gotten close to doing that.

But these guys were only perverts or power-hungry spirits. Some of them had wanted to add the rulers to their harem while some of them had wanted to marry them so that they could become the spirit king and rule over a particular type of spirits.

Because of that, Mariel had approached Kai even though she had hated him. This was because he had undone a seal deep within the spirit world which held the spirits of life and death.

Every spirit had wanted to kill him because of that and he had some narrow calls because of this.

But when Mariel had approached him saying that they wanted to get rid of the spirits challenging the rulers, he had happily helped them.

But he had to convince the other rulers about this and that had not been easy. He had started with the spirit of lightning as Mariel had told him that she was a huge muscle head who would grant anyone a wish if they defeated her.

That was the first time he had met Levina and her appearance and power had shocked him. Since his face was recorded in the most wanted section of the spirit world, he had changed his appearance before meeting her.

Their first battle had ended with Levina defeating Kai at the last second. This was because she had used her ultimate move, the authority of an elemental ruler which allowed them to take some energy from the spirits under their rule.

But the second time, Kai had trained hard to beat her and he had defeated her at the end moment and that too because of his black flames.

But at that time, he wasn't good at controlling his flames and he had burned Levina entire right arm before he had controlled his flames.

But this was nothing to worry about as Levina had infinite regeneration as long as she stayed within her lightning kingdom.

After that, she had asked for what Kai wanted and he had shown her his true face and it ended in her releasing her killing intent at him.

So he had no choice left other than teleporting back to meet Mariel and discuss a new plan.

While thinking about his past, Kai suddenly heard a rustling sound nearby. But he still wasn't back at full power so he used his spiritual sense to see who was outside the cave.

It turned out that three people in the heaven spirit realm were standing outside the cave and they were examining the camouflage Mia and Mariel had used to hide the cave's entrance.

"Another new problem." Kai sighed as Mia and Mariel woke up. Simultaneously, the three people entered the caves with their cultivation released.
