Chapter 2856
Even in the face of the blatant rudeness from the other party, Kai and his companions could feel the overwhelming aura radiating from the three figures before them. They were too intimidated to speak, with Wajang, the Three Monstrous Thieves, and the others even bowing their heads slightly, avoiding direct eye contact!
“Who are you people? Did something happen here just now?”
One of the elderly men in the group asked in a cold tone!
His eyes blazed like torches, scanning each person with a fierce intensity, and the energy emanating from him was extremely volatile!
He certainly seemed like someone not to be trifled with, his temper as fiery as his presence suggested, ready to engage in a fight at any moment!
Kai’s heart raced as he sensed the man’s tumultuous aura, his brow furrowing in concern!
From the intensity of the old man’s energy, it was clear he was beyond the eighth grade of the Harmonious Body Realm, possibly even standing at its pinnacle!
At this level of power, Kai felt utterly powerless!
Moreover, there were three of them, each exuding a similar menacing aura, leaving Kai and his companions doubting their ability to confront even a single one!
“Senior, we haven’t sensed anything unusual. May I ask what you are looking for? Is there any way we can assist you?”
Kai spoke up, trying to maintain a polite tone!
“Haven’t sensed anything?” The old man’s brow furrowed as he shot a piercing glare at Kai. “The vision from heaven and earth was so intense just now; how could you possibly not feel it? You’re clearly lying.”
“If you tell me the truth now, I might overlook your deceit. But if I find out you’re lying, the consequences will be dire.”
The old man’s threat hung heavily in the air!
After all, the vision from heaven and earth had been exceedingly strong, and it had occurred in Kai’s direction—how could he not be aware of it?
“Senior, I assure you we are not lying. We just came from Jialing County and have no knowledge of any vision from heaven and earth,” Kai replied, feigning fear, his face pale and body trembling slightly!
“Old Kong, look how frightened this guy is. I doubt he has the nerve to lie to us. That vision must have been caused by some supreme treasure. Just look at them—do they appear to be in possession of such treasures?”
A middle-aged man, donning an octagonal hat and wielding a long sword, stepped forward and remarked!
“Zuo Qing, what do you know? The more harmless and lower-ranked a person appears, the more likely they are to be concealing treasures,” Old Kong retorted. “The vision clearly originated from this direction, yet they claim they didn’t see it. They’re obviously deceiving us.”
“You’re just being too soft-hearted. I’m going to search them to see if they’re hiding any treasures,” Old Kong declared, turning his gaze towards Kai. “You lot, line up for me! Strip down so I can check, and hand over all your storage treasures!”
Upon hearing that they intended to search him and inspect his storage ring, Kai’s expression soured!
He knew he had numerous treasures stored away, and if they were to be exposed, he would certainly lose them!
“Senior, this isn’t appropriate. We have ladies present …”
Kai suppressed his anger and maintained a courteous demeanor!
“What’s wrong with ladies? I’ve seen plenty of them. As long as I finish my inspection and find nothing, you can all leave!”
“I won’t harm the girl; it’s just a matter of a couple of looks—nothing would go missing!”
“Stop stalling and get undressed …”
Old Kong barked in a ruthlessly unreasonable tone.
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan’s face flushed with anger as she glared at Old Kong, “You old impudent fool …”
Those words immediately sent a chill through Old Kong, and a wave of immense pressure surged toward Liu Ruyan like a tsunami!
Witnessing this, her expression shifted dramatically!
She hadn’t expected that her outburst would provoke such a dangerous reaction; this old man was entirely unreasonable!
