Chapter 4348
Recognizing that the woman was being unreasonable, Kai decided it was best not to waste any more time with her. With a powerful leap, he aimed to escape the island!
There was absolutely no way he would give her his Dragon Slashing Sword!
“Don’t leave ……”
The woman followed suit and leapt after him, intent on pursuing Kai!
But just as she launched herself into the air, her expression shifted, and a flash of panic crossed her face as she glanced at the void behind her!
She quickly landed back on the island, her panic evident as she fumbled for a pill and swallowed it!
Kai, confused, wondered what was wrong with her. Why wasn’t she chasing him anymore?
As he pondered this, several auras suddenly approached from the distance!
“Zhu Qingxiu, this time I’ll see where you run to.”
“So, you’ve been hiding on this deserted island! No wonder I couldn’t find you for so long.”
“Hand over the secret scrolls of your Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and we might let you go ……”
Swish swish swish!
In the distant void, five figures rushed toward them, urgency in their movements!
These weren’t just any ordinary individuals; among them was a first-grade Mahayana realm cultivator, while the others were all at the ninth grade of the Ferrying realm!
Shouting as they hurried forward, the woman’s face turned pale with fear as she shot a furious glare at Kai. “This is all your fault! If I hadn’t fought with you and revealed my presence, they wouldn’t have found me ……”
After casting a resentful look his way, the woman took flight, desperate to escape!
Kai was momentarily speechless. It was clear she had initiated the confrontation, yet somehow, he was being blamed!
What was going on?
Women were truly incomprehensible …
As the woman attempted to flee, the five pursuers quickened their pace and zoomed past Kai, completely ignoring him in the process!
A small cultivator like him, at the seventh rank of the Transition Realm, was simply not worth their attention!
Watching them rush past, Kai couldn’t help but frown. He distinctly sensed the aura of demonic cultivators emanating from these five!
They were brazenly displaying their demonic energy, seemingly unafraid!
“Zhu Qingxiu?”
Suddenly, a memory clicked for Kai. Someone had just shouted that this woman went by the name Zhu Qingxiu.
What connection did she have to Zhu Qing Yue from Zhu Jia Town?
Boom!
An epiphany struck him; despite only half of her face being intact, the resemblance to Zhu Qing Yue was unmistakable!
No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity when he first saw her, even if he hadn’t realized it until now!
“You demonic cultivators, I will not hand over the Ten Thousand Swords Sect’s secret manuals! I would rather face death than betray my sect!”
Zhu Qingxiu fled frantically, heading in the same direction above the deserted island where Kai had initially landed!
Kai wasted no time and leapt after her!
Regardless of whether she was truly related to Zhu Qing Yue, he felt compelled to help. After all, she was being hunted by a group of demonic cultivators!
Moreover, being from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, she had ties to the Alchemy Sect, with which they shared a strong friendship!
In fact, he felt partially responsible for her predicament; if he hadn’t gone after those flints and inadvertently revealed their location, this wouldn’t have happened.
Convincing himself of this, Kai accelerated, determined to assist Zhu Qingxiu!
If she truly was connected to Zhu Jia Town, he had even more reason to help!
After all, Zhu Jia Town would soon be intertwined with his future through Xiao Huang Chao!
