Chapter 2810
In the dimly lit street, a group of cultivators found themselves in an awkward situation!
These individuals had hoped to capitalize on the chaos caused by the fire, but the outcome was far from what they had anticipated!
Initially, they believed that a fifth-ranked cultivator from the Harmony Realm could easily overpower a second-ranked one, just like an adult would overpower a child!
They thought that if the man managed to obtain the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, they could threaten him and take their share!
However, they never expected that it would be the fifth-ranked cultivator who would end up on the ground, pleading for mercy!
This was the moment they truly grasped Kai’s formidable strength!
Relief washed over them as they realized they hadn’t acted rashly against Kai!
With a piercing gaze, Kai looked at the cultivators harboring ill intentions, causing them to avert their eyes, too frightened to meet his gaze!
“We’re just out for a late-night stroll and have no intention of causing trouble,” one of them stammered.
“Exactly, we were merely passing through, nothing more!” another added.
“I see some taverns still lit up ahead; let’s head there for a drink…”
A few of the cultivators hurried to clarify their intentions before quickly making their exit!
Kai, however, paid them no mind and turned to head back to his small courtyard!
Once inside his room, Liu Ruyan inquired, “What happened out there?”
“Nothing much, just a few people trying to spy on the Heavenly Thunder Fruit, but they were scared off by the folks from Jialing County!”
“Private fights are prohibited in Jialing County, so they wouldn’t dare to make a move against me,” Kai explained.
“That’s a relief! Since everything’s okay, let’s go back to sleep!”
With that, Liu Ruyan blushed and embraced Kai!
Kai smiled, knowing that Liu Ruyan had enjoyed a sweet moment.
As he turned over, another night of warmth and affection unfolded…
The following day arrived!
Kai planned to take Yi He to visit Soh Sing Moon to see if there was a way to rid Yi He of the poison afflicting her.
Suh Xing Yue and her Danyang Clan resided in the most opulent mansion within the Pill Master Association’s compound!
As they approached the Pill Master Association, the grandeur of the entrance illustrated the significant importance that Jialing County placed on this establishment!
Leading Yi He to the entrance, they encountered two third-ranked cultivators from the Harmony Realm stationed as guards.
“The Pill Master Association isn’t open yet; no unauthorized individuals are allowed inside…”
A guard halted Kai and Yi He, stating the rules.
“Brother guard, I have a token here…” Kai replied, producing Soh Xing Yue’s token!
The guard examined the token before giving a nod, saying, “You may enter. The Danyang Sect’s residence is in the third building on the left. Do not wander off, understood?”
“Understood…” Kai affirmed, leading Yi He into the Pill Master Association!
Following the guard’s directions, Kai located the Danyang Sect’s residence, which was permitted to stay inside the Pill Master Association due to its role as a judge, while other participating clans had to remain outside!
The entrance to the Danyang Sect’s residence was heavily guarded, emphasizing its security.
Kai presented his token and entered the residence without any issues, leading Yi He to sit down in the living room!
“Mr. Chen, is that you?”
Not long after, Soh Xing Yue’s voice echoed, followed by her hurried entrance!
Upon spotting Kai, Soh Xing Yue’s face lit up with joy.
Behind her stood a young and beautiful girl in her twenties, who was curiously sizing up Kai!
“Zhu Zhu, this is Mr. Chen, the benefactor who rescued me from a demonic cultivator during my journey. Hurry and greet him…”
Soh Xing Yue instructed the girl behind her!
“Master, this guy seems to be only at the second level of the Combined Body realm; he’s not as strong as I am. How could he have saved you? You must be mistaken!”
Zhu Zhu scrutinized Kai, questioning how someone of his level could have rescued Soh Xing Yue from the demon cultivator!
