Chapter 5490
His figure flashed, instantly catching up.
His speed was as swift as a bolt of lightning, and he had instantly overtaken Immortal Yun Miao.
Kai used his Fire Control Step, catching up with Immortal Yun Miao in just two steps.
Fire Control Step instantly boosted his speed, making it impossible for Immortal Yun Miao to escape.
Then, he lifted Immortal Yun Miao back like a chicken.
His movements were effortless and casual, as if Immortal Yun Miao had no chance of resisting him.
“Ah!”
“How…how is this possible?”
The demon cultivators’ faces paled at the sight.
They knew that even Immortal Yun Miao was no match for this young man; they would surely die today!
Despair filled their hearts, as if they had already seen death approach.
Kai threw Immortal Yun Miao to the ground and said coldly, “Tell me! Why are you running?”
His eyes revealed a sternness, as if he were judging a criminal.
Immortal Yun Miao trembled as he spoke, “I…I know you.”
A hint of fear lingered in his voice, and his body involuntarily curled up.
Kai asked doubtfully, “Do you know me?”
His eyes revealed a hint of curiosity, wanting to know why Yun Miao Xian Zun knew him.
Yun Miao Xian Zun nodded, “Yes. When I was in the temple, the Sixth Palace Master mentioned you. He said you were a very dangerous person and told us to be careful of you.”
There was a hint of awe in his voice, as if Kai was someone he feared.
Kai suddenly realized, “So you’re from the Divine Temple!”
His eyes gleamed with a sharpness, as if he’d seen through the power behind Immortal Yun Miao.
Immortal Yun Miao quickly replied, “Yes! I’m a subordinate of the Sixth Palace Master of the Divine Temple! I’ve been ordered here to refine spirit stones into immortal stones and hand them over to the Sixth Palace Master!”
There was a hint of resignation in his voice, as if he were being forced to do this.
Kai coldly asked, “How could the Sixth Palace Master know how to refine spirit stones into immortal stones?”
His eyes betrayed suspicion, a desire to know what secrets the Divine Temple held behind this.
Immortal Yun Miao was about to speak when the distant sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, and an even stronger, more sinister aura overtook him.
Like an ancient beast, this malevolent aura surged forward with devastating force, enveloping the entire Yuande Realm in the blink of an eye.
The stagnant air seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, making breathing incredibly difficult.
The demon cultivators, who had been struggling in the abyss of despair, suddenly saw a ray of light in the darkness. They all raised their heads, their gazes cast towards the sky.
Their eyes gleamed with ecstasy like burning flames, instantly dispelling their previous fear and despair.
“It’s… it’s the arrival of a higher-level Immortal Venerable!” a demon cultivator’s voice trembled with uncontrollable excitement, as if they had seen a savior arrive.
“We’re saved! This lord’s aura is far stronger than Immortal Venerable Yunmiao’s!” another demon cultivator echoed, his face brimming with joy at having survived a catastrophe.
“It must be the powerful being behind Immortal Venerable Yunmiao! Only such a powerful being could possess such a terrifying aura!” another demon cultivator declared with certainty, his eyes filled with awe and anticipation.
Meanwhile, Li Qingshan and the others’ faces instantly turned as pale as paper, as if covered in a thick layer of frost.
They clenched their fists tightly, their knuckles turning white from the strain, and their bodies trembled involuntarily, like leaves in a gust of wind.
They could clearly feel that the breath coming towards them contained endless malice and terrifying pressure.
