Chapter 5633
“Mr. Shi, what exactly is your identity? What is your strength?”
Staring into the void, Kai was completely bewildered.
Throughout Mr. Shi’s journey, Kai had never seen him fear anyone. Their
only major battle was alongside Wen Haotian.
However, in the Celestial Realm, when Mr. Shi and Wen Haotian met again, Wen Haotian was so frightened that he turned and ran away.
…
The next morning!
Liu Xue arrived at the Yanluo Heavenly Sect alone, perhaps to avoid Kai’s misunderstanding.
After tidying up, Kai left the Yanluo Heavenly Sect with Liu Xue.
Because of yesterday’s investigation into the person behind Kai, Yan Nantian’s soul was somewhat unstable, so he couldn’t accompany them. He
was so frightened that his three souls almost left his body and needed proper rest.
Along the way, Kai and Liu Xue remained cautious.
Around the Tianmen Mountain ruins, cultivators gathered, and various forces were secretly spying, trying to find the mysterious entrance to the ruins.
Kai and Liu Xue knew that once news of the entrance to the ruins leaked, it would attract countless covetous eyes and invite unnecessary trouble.
Tianmen Mountain, one of the famous mountain ranges in the Nine Heavens, soared into the clouds, shrouded in mist.
From afar, the entire mountain range resembled a gateway to the Tenth Heaven, hence its name.
It was early morning, the rising sun casting golden rays upon the mountain peaks, adding a touch of sacredness to this mysterious mountain range.
However, within this seemingly tranquil mountain range, countless greedy eyes lurked.
“Young Master Chen, Tianmen Mountain is just ahead,”
Liu Xue stopped and pointed to the majestic mountain range ahead.
Kai looked in the direction Liu Xue was pointing and saw the rolling mountains, shrouded in mist—truly a place of auspicious geomancy.
However, what concerned Kai even more was the large number of cultivators gathered around this mountain range.
“It seems the news of the Tianmen Mountain ruins has already spread throughout the Nine Heavens,” Kai said calmly.
Looking around, they saw cultivators everywhere, at the foot and halfway up the mountain.
Some were in groups of three or five, others alone, all carefully searching for something.
A tense yet excited atmosphere filled the air.
Liu Xue nodded: “Yes, ever since the legend of the Tianmen Mountain ruins spread, new cultivators have come here almost every day.
However, they only wander around the perimeter and can’t find the real entrance.”
“Then where is our entrance?” Kai asked.
“In a hidden valley deep within the mountains, protected by ancient restrictions, which ordinary people can’t find.”
Liu Xue smiled mysteriously, “But we must be careful and not let others discover our whereabouts.”
The two cautiously advanced deeper into the mountains.
Along the way, they encountered many cultivators, both independent and sect disciples.
These people all showed wariness in their eyes when they saw Kai and Liu Xue.
“Isn’t that Leader Liu of the Earthly Fiend Alliance up ahead?”
“I didn’t expect Leader Liu to be interested in the Tianmen Mountain ruins.”
“Who’s that young man next to her? He looks unfamiliar.”
“I don’t know, but judging from Leader Liu’s attitude towards him, she seems very respectful.”
The surrounding cultivators whispered among themselves, their gazes constantly shifting between Kai and Liu Xue.
Kai could feel many ill-intentioned stares upon him.
Especially a black-robed cultivator whose eyes were fixed on Kai. Although Kai didn’t look at him directly, he had already detected the man’s gaze with his divine sense.
Moreover, Kai even sensed a trace of hostility from the man’s aura.
Liu Xue seemed to have noticed these gazes and whispered to Kai, “Young Master Chen, let’s speed up and leave here as soon as possible.”
Kai nodded, and the two quickened their pace, heading deeper into the mountains.
