Chapter 2917
Upon hearing the news, Kai experienced a moment of clarity and immediately recognized the course of action he needed to take!
With renewed determination, Kai sprang to his feet and gently placed one hand on the ice crystal that had been absorbed by Gao Qijie!
As Kai’s divine sense flowed into the ice crystal, he was startled to see a vivid image of Gao Qijie’s mind at that very moment materialize before him!
In his vision, Kai found Gao Qijie basking in the gentle warmth of the sunlight, completely absorbed by the energy surrounding him, appearing utterly entranced!
Unbeknownst to Gao Qijie, this seemingly serene environment was quietly draining his divine sense!
Drawing from his immense sea of consciousness, Kai unleashed a powerful wave of divine awareness that crashed against the ice crystals like the relentless tide!
Though Gao Qijie remained lost in the sunlight, the crashing waves of Kai’s consciousness jolted him awake!
After severing the connection between Gao Qijie and the ice crystal, Kai swiftly retracted his divine sense!
“What’s happening here…?”
“How did you disrupt my cultivation?”
Gao Qijie questioned, confusion evident in his voice!
“If I hadn’t intervened, you would have soon become a soulless being, devoid of mind…”
Kai explained!
“That can’t be true; I feel invigorated, full of energy…”
Gao Qijie protested, clenching his fist!
“Try using your divine sense to see for yourself…”
Kai advised!
Upon hearing this, Gao Qijie immediately activated his divine sense within his sea of consciousness, but the moment he did, a gasp of surprise escaped him, followed by a look of deep concern!
“What’s wrong? Why does my head ache as soon as I disperse my divine sense?”
“It feels like my divine sense has severely diminished…”
Gao Qijie said, his expression one of shock!
“Now you understand why I interrupted your cultivation; take some time to recover!”
Kai concluded, then shifted his focus to rescuing the others!
Though Kai could have left the others behind, he recognized that they were all in this predicament together, and saving even one more person would bolster their collective strength!
Before long, Kai harnessed his vast divine sense to free everyone trapped!
However, instead of gratitude, the rescued individuals began to blame Kai!
“Little brother, why did you do this? We were in the midst of our cultivation, and you interrupted us!”
Old Sun exclaimed, following Kai in disbelief!
“What do you mean, kid? If you don’t want to cultivate, that’s your choice, but why disrupt our practice? What’s your motive?”
Old Kong shouted angrily, glaring at Kai!
“You folks don’t understand the situation; if it weren’t for Chen’s actions, you’d all be facing dire consequences…”
Wajang interjected, indignant at the blame directed at Kai!
“Saving us? How can interrupting our cultivation be considered saving us?”
Zuo Qing chimed in, visibly upset!
“Gentlemen, you’re not actually cultivating; you’ve been ensnared, and your divine senses are being absorbed.”
Kai calmly clarified, sharing the tale of the demonic cultivator!
He elaborated on how the ice crystal was consuming their divine consciousness, which in turn summoned the essence blood of the ice spirit giant beast to break the seal!
However, his audience remained skeptical, unable to fathom that a demonic cultivator could be so bold as to ensnare them all!
“If you doubt my words, test your divine sense or attempt to leave the palace and see if you can escape!”
Kai challenged!
Eventually, the group began to check their divine senses and rushed outside the palace to assess their situation!
When they discovered that their divine senses were indeed compromised and the exit was sealed, they came to accept Kai’s explanation!
“What now…?”
“This is a disaster; I can’t believe I’ve been fooled by a demonic cultivator!”
“These devil cultivators have some nerve; once I get out, they’ll pay for this!”
The crowd erupted in a chorus of righteous indignation!
Yet, despite their outrage, nobody had a plan to escape, and silence fell over the group as they waited anxiously for a solution to present itself!
