Chapter 5634
After walking for about an hour, the two arrived at a relatively secluded valley.
There were significantly fewer cultivators here, only a few scattered individuals searching.
“Young Master Chen, let’s rest here for a while and gather some information,” Liu Xue suggested.
Kai had the same idea; he still needed to find out the God King’s whereabouts.
The two found a hidden cave, and Liu Xue set up a simple soundproofing array.
“Alliance Leader Liu, please wait here for me. I’ll be right back,” Kai said.
“Where are you going, Young Master Chen?” Liu Xue asked, somewhat worried.
“I’m going to gather some information; I’ll be back soon,”
Kai smiled and turned to leave the cave.
Kai didn’t go far. Nearby, he found a middle-aged cultivator who appeared to be a rogue cultivator.
The cultivator was resting on a large rock, looking somewhat tired.
“Fellow Daoist, please wait,” Kai said politely as he approached.
The middle-aged cultivator looked up at Kai warily: “What do you want?”
“I am Kai, a newcomer here, and I would like to ask you some questions.”
As he spoke, Kai took out a high-grade immortal stone and handed it over.
A glint of greed flashed in the middle-aged cultivator’s eyes as he saw the high-grade immortal stone, but he still feigned composure and said, “Ask me anything, and I’ll tell you whatever I know.”
“Thank you, fellow Daoist,”
Kai smiled. “I’d like to inquire whether you’ve heard of the Divine King of the Temple arriving here recently? He’s from the Eighth Heaven.”
“Divine King?” The middle-aged cultivator was taken aback, then shook his head. “I haven’t heard of him. But recently, quite a few important figures have come here; several major sects from the Eighth Heaven have sent people.”
Kai was somewhat disappointed, but he continued to ask, “Then, have you heard of anything unusual? For example, someone being hunted down, or some kind of battle?”
The middle-aged cultivator thought for a moment and said, “Something unusual… there is one. A month ago, I saw several disciples of the Temple in that valley. They seemed to be escorting someone, but they looked very nervous.” ”
Disciples of the Temple?”
Kai’s heart skipped a beat. “Which direction did they go?”
“It seems they went deeper into the mountains.”
The middle-aged cultivator pointed in a direction. “However, it’s very dangerous there. It’s said that powerful demonic beasts roam there, and ordinary people dare not go in.”
“Thank you for informing me, fellow Daoist.”
Kai took out several high-grade immortal stones and handed them to the middle-aged cultivator. “These are a token of my gratitude.”
The middle-aged cultivator was overjoyed and quickly accepted the immortal stones: “Thank you, fellow Daoist! Thank you, fellow Daoist!”
Kai left the middle-aged cultivator, already having some clues in his mind.
The disciples of the Divine Palace were escorting someone, and they were heading deeper into the mountains. This was very likely the God King and his group.
Kai didn’t return immediately. He inquired with several other cultivators, and the results were similar.
It seemed that the God King had indeed been here, and was likely still deep in the mountains.
Just as Kai was about to return, he saw a familiar figure.
This person was the black-robed cultivator he had met at the foot of the mountain earlier, whose gaze had seemed somewhat strange then. The
black-robed cultivator also saw Kai, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, but he quickly turned and left.
Kai sneered inwardly; it seemed he was being watched.
However, he wasn’t concerned. He was confident he could handle anyone except those at the Celestial Immortal realm or higher.
When Kai returned to the cave, Liu Xue was meditating.
Hearing footsteps, Liu Xue opened her eyes.
“Young Master Chen, have you found anything?” Liu Xue asked.
“There are some clues, but we need to confirm them further.”
“Alliance Leader Liu, when shall we go find the entrance to the ruins?” Kai asked.
