Chapter 4356
“We aren’t just acquaintances; we go way back.”
“To me, that Kai means far more than a hundred years’ worth of offerings.”
“But where are Kai and the others at this moment?”
Ning Zhi inquired eagerly.
The cultivator dressed in green pointed towards a distant island and replied, “They’re right near that island…”
As soon as the green-clothed cultivator finished his sentence, Ning Zhi transformed into a flash of light, darting toward the island!
Seeing this, the others quickly followed suit!
However, upon reaching the small island, Ning Zhi found no sign of Kai. Growing impatient, he clasped his hands together, and an array of spiritual lights began to rush towards him!
Before long, Ning Zhi’s hands, enveloped in swirling blood qi, began to rotate. Gradually, the blood qi merged with the surrounding aura, transforming into a massive human face!
This face was bizarre; its mouth dominated its features while a single eye blinked on its forehead, creating a rather frightening appearance!
The eye on the forehead of the human visage blinked incessantly, projecting a beam of light into the void!
Within that light, the figures of Kai and Zhu Qingxiu slowly became visible!
Upon spotting Kai, excitement surged in Ning Zhi’s eyes!
“Kai, I finally found you…”
A sinister grin spread across Ning Zhi’s face!
Meanwhile, as Kai fled alongside Zhu Qingxiu, he suddenly felt a tightening sensation in his body, as if something were watching him!
His movements seemed to be hampered, slowing him down!
“What’s happening? Why do I feel like someone is watching us?”
Kai furrowed his brow and questioned.
“I feel it too; something doesn’t feel right!”
Zhu Qingxiu replied, her discomfort evident.
“This is the Ghost Face Scouting the Heavens; someone is monitoring your location, and they’ll find you soon!”
The Red Cloud Demon Monarch interjected.
Just then, a gigantic ghostly face appeared in the void above Kai and Zhu Qingxiu, towering like a man, with a single eye blinking on its forehead!
“Kai, at last, I’ve found you. It’s time to settle our score!”
As the massive mouth of that ghostly face opened, Ning Zhi’s voice echoed ominously!
“Ning Zhi?”
Kai was taken aback; he hadn’t expected Ning Zhi to make it to the Eastern Domain, and it seemed he had regained his strength!
“What is this?”
Zhu Qingxiu felt a wave of panic wash over her; cold sweat beaded on her forehead as she grappled with the appearance of this ghostly visage.
From behind her, she could sense several powerful auras closing in rapidly!
“We need to move faster; we can’t afford to stay here or we’ll be in serious trouble!”
Kai thought. He was unsure of Ning Zhi’s current cultivation level, but it was evident that it was formidable!
Ning Zhi had always been exceptionally talented, and he was definitely a force to be reckoned with!
However, under the watchful gaze of that eerie face, Kai and Zhu Qingxiu felt completely exposed and powerless; it was as if a gravitational pull was drawing them in dangerously!
“I have a shifting bead that can instantly transport us away from this place, but the destination is random—I can’t control it!”
At that moment, Zhu Qingxiu revealed a treasure bead, faint blue mist swirling within it!
“Perfect! As long as we escape this surveillance, we’ll have a chance to get away. Use it quickly!”
Kai urged her!
Zhu Qingxiu clutched the shifting bead, her face a mask of conflict. After all, this bead was incredibly valuable, and she only had one!
Using it would mean losing it forever!
Yet, the thought of being captured—and potentially losing their lives—spurred Zhu Qingxiu into action. Gritting her teeth, she crushed the shifting bead!
