Chapter 4374
As the other devil cultivators observed Kai’s blunders, laughter erupted among them; this time, they were determined not to let him slip away!
A century’s worth of offerings from the Demon Sealing Alliance awaited them, and capturing Kai would significantly bolster their strength!
Yet, Ning Zhi remained fixated on the surface of the sea, his brow furrowed, an expression of concern replacing any sense of relief!
Noticing Ning Zhi’s unease, the green-clothed cultivator turned to him and said, “Sir Ning, we cannot allow Kai and Zhu Qingxiu to escape this time. I hope you can assist us in entering the Dead Sea once more.”
This green-clothed cultivator was eager to help, but he feared that Ning Zhi might take matters into his own hands and eliminate Kai!
If Kai were to be reduced to ashes, what would they have to show for a hundred years of offerings to the alliance master?
Thus, the green-clothed cultivator decided to take the initiative with his companions, aiming to capture both Kai and Zhu Qingxiu!
Ning Zhi nodded in agreement, allowing the plan to unfold, as he too was curious about Kai’s intentions!
The devil cultivators could serve as a perfect means for him to gauge what Kai was truly up to!
With a gentle wave of his hand, Ning Zhi summoned flames that enveloped several of the devil cultivators in an instant!
Witnessing this, the green-clothed cultivator rallied his comrades, exclaiming, “Brothers, charge with me! We must capture Kai and Zhu Qingxiu!”
Leading the charge into the depths of the Dead Sea, the green-clothed cultivator sought revenge for the loss of his arm!
In their wake, the other demonic cultivators followed suit, plunging into the Dead Sea!
Meanwhile, Kai, situated at the seabed, noticed the dozen or so devil cultivators diving into the depths, while Ning Zhi remained suspended above the surface, clearly sending the others to scout ahead!
Ning Zhi’s cautious approach forced Kai to feign surprise upon being discovered, prompting him to flee in haste!
As Kai dashed away, the pursuing devil cultivators grew more exhilarated, particularly the green-clothed cultivator, who, with his large sword in hand, howled in pursuit!
Seeing Kai in a state of panic, the devil cultivators concluded that he had not anticipated being found!
At that moment, Ning Zhi’s gaze was fixed on the surface of the sea, his eyes glowing crimson as he peered into the depths, clearly observing the unfolding scene, including Kai’s frantic escape!
Seeing Kai’s distress, a slight smirk formed at the corner of Ning Zhi’s mouth, leaving it unclear whether it was a sign of satisfaction or mockery!
“Kai, are you really trying to play tricks on me? Do you think I’m a child?”
Ning Zhi muttered to himself!
Meanwhile, the demonic cultivators, consumed by their chase, failed to notice the flickering lights illuminating the peaks at the bottom of the sea!
Just as a handful of devil cultivators were about to catch up to Kai, a sudden explosion of light erupted skyward!
Boom!
A powerful surge radiated through the water, instantly creating a vast vacuum at the seabed!
As the devil cultivators saw this, they halted in their tracks, scrambling to position their shields against the oncoming force.
All of them stood still, bewildered by the unexpected turn of events!
“Cursed Kai! He really set a trap at the bottom of the sea, but luckily, we were prepared,” the green-clothed cultivator cursed!
However, after the surge dissipated, Kai had long vanished, leaving only an enveloping darkness at the seabed!
Feeling their flame aura waning, the group of demonic cultivators dared not linger at the bottom any longer and hurriedly ascended towards the surface!
Without the flame aura, they knew they would become mere bones in the depths of the Dead Sea!
“Prince Ning, it’s true that Kai set a trap down there, but it didn’t harm us; it just allowed him to slip away,” the green-clothed cultivator reported as he broke through the surface.
