Chapter 2906
Ultimately, Kai’s strength was not particularly impressive. The companions of those around him were left frozen, dry, and anxious, helpless to save them. When they heard Kai’s words, their frustration was directed solely at him!
“Shut the hell up! If you dare to speak again, just know I won’t hold back. Who even let you in here?”
“If you’re after the treasure, be ready to face death. Why should I care about you just because you’re his sons?”
Old Sun’s aura surged as he glared coldly at those yelling!
With Old Sun’s strength at the eighth grade of the Combined Body realm, he stood out among the group. His fierce outburst silenced those around him instantly!
Since Kai had just saved Old Sun, it was only natural for him to defend Kai!
Kai chose to ignore the shouters. His silence about the formation was intentional; he wanted some of them to remain frozen!
If there was indeed treasure hidden within the cave, having more people around would only make it harder for Kai to obtain the Ice Pill!
To Kai, the fate of these people was inconsequential; it didn’t concern him!
The sole reason Kai had saved Old Sun was that this man had once helped him with just two words outside of Jialing County!
Another reason was Old Sun’s strength. If they discovered the treasure and Old Sun, Old Kong, and Zuo Qing teamed up, Kai would stand no chance!
Thus, it was crucial for Kai to gain at least one ally, and among the three, Old Sun was the only one willing to forge a friendship with him.
The group continued moving forward, this time following Kai with a sense of honesty and purpose!
After about an hour, they finally emerged from that treacherous area!
“Well, we’ve finally made it through this place…”
“This area was ensnared in a spell formation. If you had rushed through, you would have been trapped for good!”
Kai sighed deeply!
Despite the cold, he found himself sweating, the steam rising from his body forming a white mist!
Kai had remained extremely cautious throughout this journey!
As the group realized they were out of danger, they collectively exhaled in relief!
However, a few unfortunate souls remained frozen in their icy state!
Kai knelt down, taking a moment to catch his breath. Even with the Supreme Flame at his disposal, it wasn’t limitless and required absorption and refinement!
It needed to be absorbed and refined to grow stronger!
He had just rescued Gao Qijie and Old Sun in quick succession, which had significantly weakened Kai’s Supreme Flame!
“Thank you, little brother…”
At that moment, Old Sun approached to express his gratitude!
“There’s no need for such formality, senior…”
Kai replied with a gentle smile!
“This is a life-saving gift; how can you not be polite?”
Old Sun insisted, pulling out an immortal herb from his pocket. It was surprisingly reddish and still warm to the touch!
“I have this warming herb. While it may not aid in cultivation, it’s effective against cold energy attacking your body.”
“I carried it with me for this harsh northern land, and I noticed that your companion seems to struggle more against this cold. I’d like her to have this Returning Warmth Grass!”
Old Sun said, handing the herb to Liu Ruyan!
However, Liu Ruyan hesitated and looked to Kai.
“Since it’s a kind gesture from the senior, please accept it!”
Kai replied with a warm smile!
“Thank you, senior…”
Liu Ruyan accepted the Warmback Grass, and she immediately felt warmer and more at ease!
Old Sun sat beside Kai, joining him in conversation!
The two shared many words, even laughing together at times.
After their chat, Kai discovered that Old Sun, Old Kong, and Zuo Qing were merely a temporary team!
Although they had known each other for some time, their bond was not particularly strong.
No wonder Old Sun had found himself frozen without any intention of help from the other two!
