Chapter 2766
Understanding that Kai had firmly made his decision, Liu Ruyan chose to remain silent. She recognized that whatever path Kai intended to take was one he felt compelled to follow!
“Mr. Chen, the three of us brothers should accompany you. If something happens, we’ll be there to watch your back!”
Da Jie quickly joined Kai, expressing his determination!
The bond they shared with Kai was profound; their lives were intertwined. If Kai were to perish, the three of them would not wish to continue living—they would stand together in death!
It made more sense to stick with Kai; if he were in jeopardy, they could still offer their assistance!
Kai glanced at Da Jie and understood their sentiments, so he smiled and nodded, “Alright, you three can come along!”
After exchanging a few more words with Liu Ruyan, the group parted ways!
Liu Ruyan and the Third Elder took Yih with them, following the direction Yih had indicated, heading away from the Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk’s realm!
Meanwhile, Kai led the Three Monstrous Thieves deeper into the territory of the Bloodthirsty Thunderhawk!
Demonic beasts like these were exceptionally sensitive to scents, so Kai produced a talisman and applied it to the three monstrous thieves to help mask their presence!
Kai’s goal was to secure the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, and avoiding conflict would be ideal!
As they traveled, Kai would periodically halt and set up formations at intervals.
The Three Monstrous Thieves were curious about the formations Kai was establishing, yet they dared not inquire!
During their journey, they encountered several cultivators, some of whom had tragically passed away, their remains reduced to mere white bones, ravaged by demonic beasts!
Others were injured, weakly lying beneath the trees!
Kai cast a solemn glance at the wounded cultivators, silently wishing he could help, though he felt powerless to do so!
After all, human nature tends to be selfish; had these individuals united rather than acted selfishly, they might not have faced such dire fates at the hands of the demonic beasts!
As Kai approached the Eagle King’s Cave with the Three Monstrous Thieves, another group entered the Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle’s territory from the opposite side, and they were not the cultivators from the airship!
This group, consisting of about a dozen individuals, was clad in neat grey cloth tunics, each emblazoned with the character “Ning” on their chests!
Leading this group was a young man in a white tunic—Ning Can, who had previously crossed paths with Kai. Beside him stood his father, Ning Caishen!
This time, Ning Caishen had personally come to the Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle’s territory, determined to gather Heavenly Thunder Fruits!
The ancestor of the Ning family had been resurrected, but his strength had yet to return to its former glory!
It was on the advice of Master Huang Yushi that Ning Caishen decided to seek the Heavenly Thunder Fruits, hoping to restore the ancestor’s power!
If their ancestor regained his strength, the Ning family’s position within the Celestial Realm would significantly improve!
“Dad, I’ve heard that the Thunderhawk King is at the Transmigration Realm. Even our people wouldn’t stand a chance against him, right?”
“And why does it feel odd since the old ancestor woke up? His strength seems barely stronger than mine!”
“Also, that woman Linglong mentioned our Ning ancestor having some kind of Inferno Demon body. Is she out of her mind? He looks more like a demon cultivator!”
Ning Can rambled on, his words incessantly filling the air!
Ning Caishen shot Ning Can a fierce glare, “Be quiet! If I hear you speak ill of the old ancestor again, I’ll have your tongue!”
“Our family’s future in the Celestial Realm depends on the old ancestor.”
“And regarding that woman searching for the old ancestor, you are not to utter a word to anyone…”
Seeing his father’s genuine anger, Ning Can fell silent, choosing not to respond!
Noticing Ning Can’s demeanor, Ning Caishen added, “I’ve received word that the Thunder Eagle King has likely gone to Jialing County for the Pill Master Meeting. This is the perfect opportunity to seize the Heavenly Thunder Fruit!”
With that, Ning Caishen led his group swiftly towards the Eagle King’s Cave!
