Chapter 2782
The Jade Tripod Sect!
After Kai and the others departed from the Jade Tripod Sect, Nie Heng stepped up to lead the entire clan!
Being new to this role, Nie Heng felt a wave of anxiety wash over him!
“Elder Nie, there’s a girl outside the sect who wishes to see Mr. Chen…”
A disciple of the Jade Tripod Sect entered the main hall to inform Nie Heng.
“A girl?”
Nie Heng raised an eyebrow and swiftly got to his feet, heading outside. Since he was expecting a visit from Kai, he didn’t want to take any chances!
Even in Kai’s absence, he knew it would be unwise to ignore someone who might be a friend of Kai’s!
Upon reaching the clan gate, Nie Heng spotted a girl in tattered clothing, her face strained and marred by bruises!
“Who are you? Why do you seek Mr. Chen?”
Nie Heng inquired of the girl.
“I’m Isha, the princess of Demon Emperor City, and I’m being pursued!”
Isha gasped, breathless from her ordeal.
Nie Heng was taken aback. He never expected this ragged girl to be the princess of Demon Emperor City!
However, recalling that the Yih Demon Emperor had previously come to the Jade Tripod Sect in a similar state to find Kai, Nie Heng realized that something must have shifted in Demon Emperor City!
“Princess Isha, Mr. Chen is not in the sect at the moment; he has gone to the Pill Master’s Meeting!”
Once the shock wore off, Nie Heng explained to Princess Isha.
“Kai isn’t here?” Isha frowned, momentarily at a loss.
“Although Chen is away, you can stay here to recover from your injuries while you wait for him. He took your father with him to the Pill Master’s Association, likely to treat your father’s poison,”
Nie Heng reassured Princess Isha.
Upon hearing that her father was with Kai and that he had gone to the Pill Master’s Meeting, Isha felt a wave of relief wash over her!
She nodded in gratitude, saying, “Thank you…”
“You’re welcome!”
Nie Heng replied and quickly led Isha into the Yuding Clan, where he arranged for her to bathe and change clothes!
After her bath, Isha emerged looking youthful and beautiful once again!
Nie Heng’s eyes widened in surprise, but he reminded himself that she was a friend of Kai’s, so he refrained from any inappropriate thoughts!
“Can you contact Kai? I want to reassure him,”
Isha expressed her wish to get in touch with Kai to alleviate her father’s concerns.
Otherwise, the Ikh Demon Emperor might still believe that Isha had been captured by Huben and was trapped in Demon Emperor City!
If that were the case, Isha would have lost something invaluable due to Huben!
“When Mr. Chen left, he provided a voice transmission jade slip, so I can reach out to him!”
Nie Heng replied.
“That’s wonderful! Please contact Kai quickly…”
Isha exclaimed happily.
Nie Heng nodded, retrieved the sound transmission jade slip, uttered a few words, and then crushed it!
Soon, Kai’s voice echoed through the slip!
“Nie Heng, is there something happening at the Jade Tripod Sect?”
Kai asked, sensing urgency since it hadn’t been long since their departure.
“Mr. Chen, Princess Isha has arrived at the Jade Tripod Sect and wishes to speak with you!”
Nie Heng informed him.
At the mention of Princess Isha, Kai’s expression froze!
“Isha, is it really you?”
Yih’s excited voice surged through the connection!
Upon hearing her father’s voice, Isha broke into tears, exclaiming, “Father, it’s me! I’ve escaped, so you don’t have to worry anymore.”
Realizing it was indeed Isha’s voice, the demon emperor was choked with emotion and speechless!
Kai, equally excited, instructed, “Nie Heng, while we are away, you must ensure Princess Isha’s safety. Do you understand?”
“Understood!” Nie Heng nodded affirmatively.
After a few more exchanges between Isha and Kai, her voice faded, as the sound transmission jade slip had a limited duration!
