Chapter 2866
“What do you think? Are you interested in teaming up with me…?”
Yuan Bao asked, his gaze fixed on Kai with eager anticipation!
“No, I’m not in search of any treasure, so there’s no way I can work together with you!”
“But with that item in your possession, you should be cautious about who you reveal it to. You might not even realize the danger you’re in.”
Kai replied with a subtle smile!
Yuan Bao stood there, taken aback; he hadn’t expected that even after revealing the treasure key, Kai would still refuse to join forces with him!
As Kai grabbed the tile jar, he made his exit, leaving Yuan Bao to contemplate silently, a slight frown etched on his face!
“What an odd character…”
Yuan Bao remarked as he too departed!
The reason Kai declined Yuan Bao’s offer was simple: he didn’t know the man well enough to trust him. In the Celestial Realm, Kai was cautious about placing his faith in strangers!
He needed to first investigate the Ancient Body Refinement Clan’s territory, as he had no information about their treasure. Venturing there without knowledge would only increase the risk he faced!
Before long, while Kai and his companions were on their way, a desperate cry for help echoed from the Grand Master of the Three Masters of Monstrous Thieves in the void!
“Mr. Chen, please come to our rescue…”
Upon hearing this, Kai’s brow furrowed with concern!
“You all go ahead; I’ll check this out…”
With that, Kai leaped into action and vanished in an instant!
Following the direction indicated by the voice transmission jade slip, he hurried onward.
The Three Monstrous Thieves had been dispatched by Kai to search for Su Yuqi and the others, and they weren’t far from his location!
Before long, Kai located the three of them.
At that moment, the expressions on the faces of the Three Monstrous Thieves were grim, clearly showing signs of injury!
In front of them stood a young girl clad in a white bearskin coat, coldly brandishing a long sword!
Her sword was stained with bright red blood, now frozen solid!
“What’s happening here?” Kai inquired, frowning!
“Mr. Chen, we were tasked with finding three girls, so we scoured the area. When we encountered this girl, we intended to ask her if she was one of those you were looking for.”
“However, she immediately attacked us without warning, injuring all three of us. She seemed intent on killing us!”
Da Jie explained, looking quite aggrieved!
Kai scrutinized the girl; she was remarkably strong for her age, boasting fifth-grade prowess in the Combined Body realm!
“Who are you? Why did you attack my people? They haven’t provoked you, have they?”
Kai questioned the girl, his tone darkening!
“Stop the pretense! I know you’re after the Ice Soul Fragment, but I found it first, and you won’t take it from me!”
The girl pointed her sword at Kai, declaring, “You’re only at the second rank of the Harmonious Body Realm. Even if you all join forces, you won’t stand a chance against me. I suggest you leave immediately.”
She released a wave of killing intent, trying to intimidate Kai and the others with her aura!
Feeling this pressure, the Three Monstrous Thieves instinctively took a step back, while Kai remained unfazed, showing no signs of concern!
The oppressive aura posed no threat to him!
When the girl noticed Kai’s indifference to her intimidation, her brow furrowed in surprise.
A cultivator at the second rank of the Harmony Realm who remained unaffected by her pressure? It suggested that Kai’s true strength was greater than he let on—perhaps he was concealing his true abilities!
“Ice Soul Fragment?” Kai echoed, momentarily taken aback. “I believe there’s been a misunderstanding. We’re not here for the Ice Soul Fragment; we’re just looking for someone.”
“And considering your injuries, you should seek treatment immediately. Delaying could cost you your life.”
