Chapter 2909
As soon as Gao Qijie finished speaking, he noticed that Old Kong and Zuo Qing had jumped up and were making their way toward a swirling cloud of mist!
Observing this, the other cultivators quickly followed suit, racing towards the mist!
They couldn’t afford to miss out on such an opportunity; they had risked their lives journeying to the extreme north in search of resources and treasures!
Excited to lead his team in the search for beast pills hidden within the mist, Gao Qijie was suddenly halted by Kai!
Gao Qijie stared at Kai in disbelief, perplexed as to why he was being stopped!
At this point, many others had started to chase after the mist, feeling the thrill of adventure!
After pausing Gao Qijie, Kai turned his attention back to two individuals who had not moved an inch since the beginning, seemingly uninterested in the beast pills!
Even when they encountered the palace and everyone else excitedly rushed forward, these two remained still!
“Two fellow Daoists, why aren’t you going after the beast pills in the mist?”
Kai smiled gently as he addressed them.
“We are not strong enough to confront those illusory foreign beasts in the mist. Even though we know beast pills may be present, we dare not approach,”
one of them replied with a wry smile.
“Exactly, our strength is too low; we simply can’t risk it!”
The other chimed in, agreeing with his companion.
Kai, however, studied the two closely, and a divine sense enveloped them instantly!
It’s important to note that it’s considered taboo among cultivators to probe one another’s minds so openly, as it could easily lead to conflict!
After all, no one appreciates being spied upon without cause!
Yet, these two seemed unfazed by Kai’s probing, as if they were completely unaware!
While Kai was focusing his divine sense on them, he noticed that the Demon Whip in his storage ring was reacting strangely!
The reason for Kai’s direct probing was to provoke a reaction, hoping that if they attacked him, he could detect if they were demon cultivators through their scent!
After all, regardless of how well they concealed themselves, a fight would likely reveal their demon aura!
Unless these two were not demon cultivators, they would possess a demon aura!
However, after probing for quite a while, Kai found the two indifferent, leaving him uncertain about their true nature!
In that moment, Kai’s consciousness was interrupted by Ochre Yan, who said, “Mr. Chen, those two are demon cultivators…”
Surprised, Kai replied, “How do you know that?”
Given that he had probed them himself without success, how could Ochre Yan, just a wisp of soul residing in his consciousness, ascertain their identities?
“When you used your divine sense to check them, I sensed they are both disciples of the Inferno Demon lineage,”
Ochre Yan explained to Kai.
“Since they belong to the same clan and lineage as I do, I could sense it. If they were from a different demon clan, I wouldn’t have been able to tell!”
Listening to this, Kai understood that the two in front of him were indeed demon disciples of the Inferno Demon lineage!
At that moment, he recalled the time he had used the Supreme Fire to rescue Gao Qijie and Old Sun.
It was likely these two had witnessed it as well and surely recognized the Demon Clan’s Supreme Flame!
Kai observed the two for a prolonged moment before deciding to turn and walk away, choosing not to expose them!
He wanted to quietly follow these demon cultivators to uncover their intentions!
Meanwhile, cheers erupted from time to time as people emerged from the mist with beast pills in hand!
Gao Qijie watched enviously, but Kai stood in his way, preventing him from taking any action!
After all, Kai had saved Gao Qijie’s life, leaving him with no choice but to obey!
