Chapter 4248
“I didn’t see it; it can’t be that it got caught in that storm!”
Gu Tianzhao felt a pang of panic rising within him!
Now, he regretted asking more questions!
“Perhaps I should go take a look. You all should head to the island and rest first…”
Mu Qiufeng waved his hand, signaling Gu Tianzhao and the others to depart!
With a long sigh of relief, Gu Tianzhao immediately instructed his men to prepare a spirit boat, hoping to bypass Mu Qiufeng and his spirit vessel!
The numerous pill masters in the cabin also secretly relaxed at this development!
Kai, who had been inside the cabin maintaining a shielding formation to prevent the aura of the pill masters from being detected, felt a sense of ease wash over him as well!
However, this moment of relaxation caused Mu Qiufeng’s brows to knit together as the two ships crossed paths!
“Patriarch, there are still people on that spirit boat…”
A slightly hunched old man spoke up to Mu Qiufeng!
“Sect Master Gu, please hold on for a moment!” Mu Qiufeng called Gu Tianzhao back!
Once again, Gu Tianzhao felt his heart race!
“Sect Master Mu, is there something else?” Gu Tianzhao inquired!
“Sect Master Gu, there are others in your cabin, correct?”
Mu Qiufeng asked pointedly.
“No, the spirit boat is in this condition; how could there be anyone else!”
Gu Tianzhao shook his head vehemently!
“Hmph, still trying to deceive us. It’s obvious that there are people within your cabin,” the hunchbacked old man snorted, leaping toward Gu Tianzhao’s spirit boat!
With that, he made a move to charge into the cabin, sending Gu Tianzhao into a state of alarm!
If this man entered the cabin, all the pill masters inside would be exposed!
Just when Gu Tianzhao was at a loss for what to do, a chilling voice suddenly emanated from inside the cabin!
“This is my resting place; it is not for you to enter!”
As the icy voice rang out, a powerful aura surged within the cabin!
Boom!
An arrow of Supreme Fire materialized, shooting out like a fiery dragon, aimed directly at the hunchbacked old man!
The old man was taken by surprise as the Supreme Fire struck him, sending him flying backward!
Kai, meanwhile, stood with his hands clasped behind his back, slowly emerging from the cabin!
His eyes held a mix of contempt and seriousness!
As he observed the hunchbacked elder being thrown back, Kai gently waved his hand, summoning a fire dragon scroll!
Instantly, the sky transformed as flames engulfed the surroundings!
The fire dragon scroll ensnared the hunchbacked old man, wreaking havoc across the surface of the sea!
This spectacle left everyone in shock, particularly Mu Qiufeng!
This hunchbacked old man was an elder of the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect, boasting the strength of a First Grade in the Mahayana Realm. How could he be so easily defeated in a single blow?
Moreover, judging by Kai’s youthful appearance, he seemed to only be at the Sixth Grade of the Ferrying Realm!
A Sixth Grade cultivator from the Ferrying Realm defeating a First Grade from the Mahayana Realm without a chance to fight back was astonishing, especially since Kai appeared so composed!
“What on earth is this guy? The purity of the Supreme Fire he wielded is astonishing; it seems his understanding of Supreme Fire Origin has reached perfection,” Mu Qiufeng thought, furrowing his brow!
To summon the Supreme Fire with a mere wave of his hand suggested a deep comprehension of its principles, yet even a Sixth Grade cultivator from the Transition Realm shouldn’t possess such overwhelming power!
As Mu Qiufeng pondered this, Kai turned to Gu Tianzhao with a frosty expression, saying, “Gu Tianzhao, how are you handling your duties? Don’t you realize that I dislike being disturbed?”
In response, Gu Tianzhao hurriedly stepped forward, saying, “Your Excellency, I sincerely apologize; I was negligent.”
This display of respect from Gu Tianzhao toward Kai only deepened Mu Qiufeng’s confusion!
The Two Yi Sect was a considerable faction, known for its expertise in formations. For a sect master of such a prominent sect to show deference to a seemingly minor Sixth Grade cultivator suggested that Kai’s identity was anything but ordinary!
