Chapter 2901
“Take me to them, take me quickly to ……”
Kai was filled with excitement at the thought of finally seeing the Fire Phoenix girls.
“I still need to head to the cave and search for someone named Su Yuqi. If what Fire Phoenix and the others said is true, she has been trapped in the cave for a long time—it’s perilous.”
Gao Qilan interjected, “There’s no need to look for her; Yuqi has been taken away by someone…”
Kai was aware of the cave because he had sensed the presence of Su Yuqi and the girls there, but he found it empty!
Now it appeared that Su Yuqi was injured and unable to escape on her own, which meant someone must have taken her!
“Taken away by someone?” Gao Qilan exclaimed, her eyes widening in disbelief.
“You need to take me to the Fire Phoenix girls right away!”
Kai insisted, eager to rush to the Gao family and retrieve Fire Phoenix and the others.
“Calm down,” Gao Qilan replied. “Right now, they are safe in my home. The extreme north is in chaos, and danger lurks everywhere!”
“If you bring them with you, can you guarantee their safety? With their strength, they won’t be able to protect themselves.”
Gao Qilan addressed Kai firmly.
Her words made Kai pause. He realized that as he set out in search of treasure, it would be risky to take Fire Phoenix and the others along!
It was much wiser for them to remain safe at the Gao family home.
“Miss Gao, please take care of Fire Phoenix and the girls for me. Once I find the treasure, I will definitely come back to thank you personally.”
“You must ensure their safety, please promise me…”
Kai placed all his trust in Gao Qilan.
He recognized that she was a kind-hearted individual.
“Don’t worry; as long as I’m here, no one will harm them in the Gao family,” Gao Qilan reassured him.
After their conversation, Gao Qilan got ready to return to inform Fire Phoenix and the others that Kai was on his way; they would surely be delighted to hear the news! “Little Jie, come back with me…”
Gao Qilan called to her sister, Gao Qijie.
“Sister, big brother tasked me with monitoring those demons while searching for the treasure and the ice spirit fragment,” Gao Qijie replied. “I can’t go back…”
She shook her head resolutely.
“With your skills, considering how chaotic it is outside, it’s undeniably dangerous. Come back with me, and I will speak to big brother,” Gao Qilan insisted.
Gao Qijie’s current strength, at the third rank of the Combined Body Realm, was among the weakest in the Land of the Far North.
While the Gao family had a strong reputation, cultivators from other regions wouldn’t hesitate to act against them if it served their interests.
“Sis, I won’t go back; I can protect myself, and besides, I have a team with me. We’ll be fine.”
“In this area, I know my way around so well I could walk with my eyes closed—it won’t be dangerous,” Gao Qijie firmly stated.
Seeing her determination, Gao Qilan could only sigh in resignation. “Fine, but if you make a move against Kai, I won’t let you off easily.”
“Don’t worry, he’s your savior; I won’t go after him again…”
Gao Qijie promised.
With Gao Qijie’s assurance, Gao Qilan felt relieved and headed back.
After she left, Gao Qijie shot Kai a cold glance before leading his group away, leaving Kai and the others to continue their treasure hunt.
After a restful night, they set out once more in search of the treasure.
Even with the treasure map, pinpointing the exact treasure location felt like finding a needle in a haystack!
Not long after they began, Kai used his divine sense and detected numerous chaotic auras nearby, indicating a gathering of many cultivators!
