Chapter 2904
Kai’s statement left Ji Yun, the tile jar, and the rest of the group in stunned silence!
“Mr. Chen, are there still demon cultivators among these people? Why can’t I sense them?”
Wajang stepped forward, speaking in a hushed tone.
“I can’t pick up on them either. They must be using some technique to conceal their presence. However, there’s an unusual movement in the Demon Whip, indicating that demon cultivators are indeed among us,” Kai explained.
“How audacious for these demon cultivators to infiltrate our treasure hunting party! Once they find the treasure, they will undoubtedly reveal themselves, and when they do, their true identities will come to light!”
Wajang expressed his shock at the boldness of these demon cultivators.
“I’m concerned they might resort to underhanded tactics, so you all need to stay vigilant and be cautious about whom you trust,” Kai cautioned.
“Understood!” everyone replied, nodding in agreement.
The group pressed onward, but soon the cave was enveloped in an intense chill, prompting everyone to channel their spiritual energy to fend off the cold.
In contrast, Wajang, Gao Qijie, and the others seemed unfazed by the frigid air.
After trudging along for several miles, the cold intensified, as if the entire space was on the verge of freezing over!
At that moment, Kai and the others felt as though they were navigating through an ice palace, surrounded by glistening ice crystals.
Suddenly, Liu Ruyan began to shiver, her clothes coated in a thick layer of frost!
Noticing this, Kai took Liu Ruyan’s hand, and a wave of warmth flowed into her body, providing her with comfort.
“Everyone, be alert; if we venture deeper, the cold will likely worsen,”
Kai warned.
Just as he finished speaking, Gao Qijie, who was leading the way, suddenly halted, letting out a pained scream!
“Third Young Master…”
Several members of the Gao family rushed to his side.
Upon hearing Gao Qijie’s anguished cry, the group stopped in their tracks. They turned to see Gao Qijie, who had previously been unfazed by the cold, now struggling as his feet began to freeze rapidly!
Despite his desperate attempts to absorb the cold Qi, he couldn’t halt the freezing process!
Several of his underlings also tried to absorb the cold Qi to save him, but their bodies began to freeze as well, yet they were powerless to help!
As Gao Qijie’s lower body succumbed to the frost, panic set in!
“Help me! Please, someone save me…”
Gao Qijie shouted, his eyes filled with terror.
“No one move!”
Seeing the dire situation, Kai released Liu Ruyan’s hand and quickly stepped in front of Gao Qijie.
Summoning a powerful flame above his palm, he channeled a wave of warmth into Gao Qijie’s body!
At the same time, the Supreme Fire flickered above Kai’s hands, causing the ice beneath him to begin melting!
As Kai unleashed the Supreme Fire, two individuals in the crowd appeared visibly surprised and bewildered!
Moments later, Gao Qijie was freed from his icy restraints, and Kai swiftly pulled him back!
“Third Young Master, are you alright?”
Several of the Gao family’s underlings hurriedly asked.
Gao Qijie shook his head, then turned to Kai, expressing his gratitude. “Thank you, Kai…”
He hadn’t anticipated that Kai would be the one to save him.
“This path is ensnared in a formation; one wrong step, and you’ll be trapped by the cold!”
Kai stated, examining the ground beneath them.
“A formation? That suggests there could be treasures hidden within this cave, considering the signs of human intervention,” Ji Yun remarked.
“Perhaps, but let’s not move just yet. I need to investigate further!”
Kai insisted, determined to ensure everyone’s safety before proceeding.
