Chapter 2860

Without asking any questions, Kai quickly followed the path of the tile jar, eager to keep up!
Kai planned to visit the Ancient Body Refining Clan first. He figured that having assistance from them might make the search for the treasure much easier!
Reluctant to use any transport since all the airships belonged to the Flying Sky Clan, Kai knew that taking one would only lead him straight into a trap!
Since he was traveling on foot for such a long distance, Kai anticipated that it would take him several days to reach his destination. Fortunately, he wasn’t in a rush to find the treasure!
To avoid any potential ambushes along the way, Kai instructed the Three Monstrous Thieves to scout ahead. They were to report back to him immediately if they encountered anyone, allowing Kai to choose a different route if necessary!
The Three Monstrous Thieves took on the role of scouts!
After a full day of trekking, Kai noticed that the temperature was dropping steadily, and the ground was beginning to be covered in white!
This chill, however, posed no challenge to Kai or his fellow cultivators!
“Mr. Chen, it’s getting late. We should rest for the night; traveling at night can be dangerous due to the bear monsters that roam these areas,” Wajang suggested to Kai.
Kai nodded in agreement, finding a large tree to take shelter under as he settled down to rest.
Wajang then started a campfire, using its warmth to dry their clothes and create a cozy atmosphere around them!
As the fire crackled, Kai knelt down to cultivate, realizing he needed to enhance his skills; the challenges ahead would only grow tougher!
“Mr. Chen, you can utilize the demonic Qi from that jade token to aid your cultivation. Your technique is capable of refining demonic Qi, and given your own demonic aura, it won’t be harmful,” Ochre Yan’s voice echoed in Kai’s mind.
“What a clever idea! Why didn’t I think of that before?” Kai exclaimed, pulling out the jade token and beginning to absorb the demonic Qi it contained!
In that moment, Kai was solely focused on his cultivation, disregarding the lingering souls of the demon cultivators within the jade token. The fate of those souls was the least of his concerns!
Meanwhile, just a few hundred miles away, a snowy ravine lay ahead!
Gao Qisheng was resting with members of the Gao Clan.
“Second Brother, this time, Big Brother sent you with me to block that tile jar and capture him,” Gao Qijie remarked.
“It’s great for you! For three little girls, you sent me to Jialing County alone, and I ended up getting beaten!”
“Now that the tile jar is missing, how can we find the Ancient Body Refining Clan’s treasure without it?”
“If we return empty-handed, Big Brother will surely be furious,” Gao Qijie complained to Gao Qisheng.
“Enough of your whining! Instead of calling yourself a punk, you should be ashamed of complaining about me after getting beaten by a second rank in the Harmonious Body realm!” Gao Qisheng retorted.
“When we return, I’ll explain everything to Big Brother. You don’t need to say a word. If necessary, I’ll go to the Ancient Body Refining Clan and bring back their leader. If they refuse to cooperate, I won’t hesitate to destroy their clan,” Gao Qisheng declared ominously.
Seeing Gao Qisheng’s intense expression, Gao Qijie fell silent, too intimidated to speak.
At that moment, a Gao family subordinate, battered by the wind and snow, entered the cave!
“What news?” Gao Qisheng inquired urgently!
“Second Young Master, the three girls are hiding in a cave not far from here. I refrained from following them inside to avoid alarming them,” the subordinate reported.
“Hahahaha, excellent! This time, I won’t let them escape. After chasing them for so long, it’s about time we caught them!”
“Let’s go catch them immediately! Once we have all three, we can return home, and there will be rewards for everyone!”
With that, Gao Qisheng led the Gao family towards the location where Su Yuqi and her companions were hiding!
