Chapter 4361
“Who exactly is this guy?”
“He’s in the seventh grade of the Transition Realm, yet he possesses strength surpassing that of a first-grade Mahayana Realm cultivator.”
“At such a young age, he’s already a formation master—no, a high-level formation master!”
“And he even had the audacity to kill the son of the Demon Sealing Alliance’s Lord…”
Zhu Qingxiu was completely baffled by Kai’s identity and the extraordinary background that enabled him to act so boldly!
As Kai focused on carving the formation, a protective barrier began to rise slowly around them.
Once the barrier was fully formed, Zhu Qingxiu immediately sensed a shift in her surroundings; the atmosphere became surprisingly comforting!
“We’re at the bottom of the sea. What’s the point of laying down a formation here?”
Zhu Qingxiu asked, perplexed.
After all, no one would have imagined they were beneath the Dead Sea—the depths that only a select few could access!
“This formation is designed to safeguard the Divine Tree. Within it lies a remnant soul, which is why the tree exudes Immortal Aura and possesses Divine Sense,”
Kai explained, recounting what he learned from Zi’er to Zhu Qingxiu. She fell silent at this revelation!
She had always assumed the Divine Tree naturally emitted Immortal Aura, never realizing it was actually a fragment of a lost soul hidden inside!
Kai and Zhu Qingxiu sat quietly at the seabed, the conversation coming to a halt.
As long as the demonic cultivators couldn’t locate anyone, they’d eventually leave!
Once the demon cultivators departed, they could make their escape to the surface and return to the mainland!
While they waited, several figures suddenly appeared above them!
Ning Zhi had arrived with a group of demonic cultivators, stopping directly over Kai and Zhu Qingxiu.
“Sir Ning, are we heading the right way? I don’t see anyone around here!”
The cultivator in green questioned.
Ning Zhi, holding a compass, frowned slightly as he fiddled with it.
Eventually, his gaze settled on the Dead Sea below.
“The two of them are likely somewhere in this Dead Sea,”
he stated coldly.
“Inside the Dead Sea?” The green-clothed cultivator was taken aback, shaking his head. “Sir Ning, you don’t understand the Dead Sea. There’s not a single living thing here; anyone who enters quickly turns to bones.”
“There’s no way they could have entered the Dead Sea unless they wanted to perish.”
“Ordinary cultivators may avoid the Dead Sea, but Kai is different. He must have brought Zhu Qingxiu with him down here; my search location is accurate,”
Ning Zhi asserted.
“If there’s no one around, then they must be at the seabed.”
Ning Zhi spoke with absolute conviction.
“Prince Ning, I don’t want to dismiss your theory, but you really don’t grasp the Dead Sea’s dangers. We’ve lived here for years and have never seen a single cultivator reach its depths.”
“Even getting close to the seawater is impossible; it would cause severe skin ulcers.”
“Let’s move on and search elsewhere; if we waste time here, Kai could escape, and we’ll lose our chance to follow the alliance master.”
The green-clothed cultivator urged Ning Zhi to reconsider.
Ning Zhi shot a cold glance at the green-clothed cultivator, saying, “Don’t act as if you’re defending your alliance lord to me. He’s your lord, not mine. Remember, we’re only working together.”
“Since you insist that no cultivator can venture into the Dead Sea’s depths, let me demonstrate how I can.”
With that, flames erupted from Ning Zhi’s body as he charged toward the Dead Sea!
In an instant, Ning Zhi vanished into the depths without a trace!
The gathered demonic cultivators watched in shock, eager to see what would happen next!
But after a few moments passed, they noticed that Ning Zhi didn’t resurface, nor did he appear as bones floating to the surface.
It took an additional quarter of an hour before Ning Zhi finally emerged from below the waves!
