Chapter 5627
Guan Jun glanced at Yan Nantian, then shook her head: “This disciple wouldn’t dare…”
“That’s what you’re thinking, don’t think I don’t know. You’ve followed me for so long, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking?”
Yan Nantian said.
Guan Jun fell silent. She truly couldn’t understand why Yan Nantian would do this.
What abilities did Kai possess that made the Yama Heavenly Sect risk their lives for him?
Just for a golden scroll?
For a promise from many years ago?
Guan Jun found it hard to believe.
“Have you investigated Kai?” Yan Nantian asked.
Guan Jun shook her head: “No…”
“Then do you know why Kai, merely a third-grade Human Immortal, could come to the Ninth Heaven?”
“Do you know why he offended the Evil Path Hall yet is still alive?”
“Do you know how a third-grade Human Immortal could have a grudge against the Soul Devouring Venerable?”
Yan Nantian’s series of questions stunned Guan Jun; she truly didn’t know.
She only knew that Kai himself had said he had a grudge against these people, but as for the specifics, Guan Jun really didn’t understand.
“Let me tell you, this Kai is only at the third rank of the Human Immortal Realm, yet he can defeat cultivators at the peak of the ninth rank of the Human Immortal Realm, and even hold his own against four peak ninth-rank Human Immortal Realm cultivators.”
“Let me tell you, this Kai not only offended the Evil Path Hall, but he even killed an elder of the Evil Path Hall, a Dharma King, and a Heavenly Venerable…”
“Let me tell you, when the Soul Devouring Venerable returned to the Ninth Heaven, he was severely injured, and that was done by Kai.”
“Do you really think that Kai is just an ordinary cultivator? How could an ordinary cultivator possibly obtain the golden scroll from the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord?”
Yan Nantian said.
Guan Jun was stunned, his expression one of utter shock: “Sect Master, do you mean that Kai has a powerful force behind him?”
“Nonsense, otherwise how could he have survived the Evil Path Hall’s pursuit until now, and even caused the Evil Path Hall to lose high-level experts like a Dharma King and a Heavenly Venerable?”
Yan Nantian said with a faint smile.
He saved Kai, even risking the fate of the entire Yanluo Heavenly Sect, precisely because of this, not for a golden scroll or a promise.
“Sect Master, how powerful must the force behind Kai be? Is it even stronger than the Evil Path Hall?”
Guan Jun asked incredulously.
“I don’t know how strong, but I’m certain it’s stronger than the Evil Path Hall.”
“Our Yanluo Heavenly Sect’s influence in the Nine Heavens is dwindling. If we want to regain our strength, we must find a powerful backer.”
“The old Sect Master has been missing for so long. If we can’t find a powerful backer, our Yanluo Heavenly Sect will only become more marginalized and eventually be swallowed up by other sects.”
Yan Nantian gazed deeply out the window.
How powerful the Yanluo Heavenly Sect used to be in the Nine Heavens, but now it has fallen to this state.
“I understand!” Guan Jun nodded.
She now realized how foolish she had been, almost ruining the entire sect’s future.
“Since you understand, then you know what to do!” Yan Nantian said.
“I know!” Guan Jun said, turning and leaving.
She went directly to Kai’s room where he was recuperating.
At that moment, Kai was slowly recovering using the resources provided by the Yanluo Heavenly Sect.
Seeing Guan Jun suddenly enter, Kai was somewhat surprised.
“Miss Guan, is there anything I can help you with?”
Kai asked.
Guan Jun took out her storage bag and tossed it to Kai: “Mr. Chen, these are the resources I’ve accumulated. You can take them…”
“No need, your sect leader has already sent resources.”
Kai waved his hand.
“Mr. Chen, this is my sincere apology; please accept it,” Guan Jun said.
