Chapter 2727
Huben had been trapped in the water prison for three days, yet even though he was confined, his spirit remained unbroken!
During this time, Huben had been keeping a close watch. If Knight Star were to launch an ambush near Demon Emperor City, he saw a chance to escape, invite Demon Emperor Yih and Princess Isha for dinner, and secretly drug them!
Meanwhile, Kai had been diligently cultivating for three full days. He was focused not only on refining the Supreme Fire within him but also on mastering the Running Thunder Palm, hoping to eventually merge the two techniques!
On this particular day, while Kai was immersed in his practice, Princess Isha personally took the time to prepare a meal and brought it over to him!
Princess Isha had been ensuring that Kai was well taken care of during these days!
Although Kai recognized Princess Isha’s genuine feelings for him and appreciated her efforts, he felt unable to make any promises at that moment!
“Dinner is served…”
Princess Isha called out to Kai!
Kai slowly opened his eyes, preparing to rise and join her for the meal when suddenly, a red light flickered around his waist, accompanied by Liu Ruyan’s anxious voice!
Before leaving, Kai had given Liu Ruyan a sound transmission jade slip, allowing her to reach him urgently if needed!
“Kai, where are you?”
Liu Ruyan’s voice came through, filled with worry!
“Miss Liu, I’m near the Jade Tripod Sect. What’s going on?”
Kai deliberately did not mention he was in Demon Emperor City, fearing Liu Ruyan might misinterpret his location. After all, without the barrier of pill refining, the human clans were not particularly welcoming in Demon Emperor City!
“That’s great! Hurry back! Hu Yixiao has returned with his men, intent on attacking. I’ve already ordered the sect’s gates to be sealed, and the protective formation has been activated.”
“But they will breach it soon! The demon cultivators Hu Yixiao brought from Ming Li King City are incredibly strong!”
Liu Ruyan explained urgently!
“Alright, I’m on my way back. Just hold on!”
Kai concluded the conversation and immediately ended the communication, skipping his meal and rushing out the door!
“Hey…” Princess Isha called after him, “Kai, what’s going on? Who was that woman?”
Princess Isha was left wondering about Liu Ruyan’s identity after hearing her voice!
“Just a friend. Wait for me while I say goodbye to your father. He should know where I’m heading.”
“I’m going to the Jade Tripod Sect to handle some urgent matters. Please inform your father to keep a close watch!”
Kai quickly explained to Princess Isha!
“Hey… is the Jade Tripod Sect in trouble? What’s your connection with them? Do you want me to accompany you?”
Princess Isha bombarded Kai with questions, but unfortunately, he was already out of earshot, having run several miles away!
“Humph! So devoted to another woman while ignoring me…”
Princess Isha pouted in displeasure but still went to inform the Ichthus Demon Emperor about Kai’s situation!
As Kai hastened towards the Jade Tripod Clan, he found Hu Yixiao surrounding the sect’s gates with hundreds of beast soldiers from Ming Li King City.
Beside Hu Yixiao stood a tall, thin old man reciting incantations!
This old man was one of the guardians from Ming Li King City, boasting strength at the fifth rank of the Combined Body Realm. The Li King had dispatched him to assist Hu Yixiao in seizing control of the Jade Tripod Sect!
A fifth-ranked General of the Harmony Realm was more than capable of helping Hu Yixiao reclaim the title of Patriarch, especially since the strongest member of the Jade Tripod Sect was merely the Second Elder, who was at the third rank of the Harmony Realm!
Currently, Hu Yixiao was unaware that the Second Elder had not yet taken over the Jade Tripod Sect; instead, Liu Ruyan was actually the reigning Patriarch!
“General Qi, can you break through this mountain protection formation?”
Hu Yixiao inquired respectfully of the guardian general at his side!
