Chapter 5635
“No rush, there are too many people right now, we need to wait a bit longer. If Young
Master Chen has other matters to attend to, you can go and take care of them,” Liu Xue said. Kai nodded: “Alliance Leader Liu, then you wait here for me, I’ll go and investigate some more.”
“Young Master Chen, please be careful,” Liu Xue cautioned.
Kai nodded and left the cave again.
This time, he headed in the direction the middle-aged cultivator pointed.
After walking for about half an hour, Kai arrived at a more secluded valley.
There were even fewer cultivators here, only a few who looked quite powerful searching.
Kai saw an old man with white hair. This old man looked extraordinary, probably an elder from some major sect.
“Senior, please wait,” Kai stepped forward.
The white-haired old man turned around and sized up Kai: “What do you want?”
“I would like to ask you some questions, senior,” Kai said, taking out a storage bag containing one hundred high-grade immortal stones.
The white-haired elder’s eyes flashed with surprise upon seeing the storage bag, but he quickly regained his composure. “What do you want to know?”
“I want to know if you, senior, have ever seen the God-King of the Eighth Heaven God-King Palace in this place,” Kai said directly.
The white-haired elder paused for a moment, then shook his head. “What are you saying? I don’t quite understand.”
The elder deliberately paused, glancing at the storage bag in Kai’s hand.
Kai understood his meaning and took out another hundred high-grade immortal stones. “As long as you can tell me useful information, these are all yours.”
A hint of greed flashed in the white-haired elder’s eyes, but he still said, “Alright, I can tell you something. That so-called God-King is being controlled by his two palace masters.”
“Controlled?” Kai’s heart tightened. “Are you sure?”
“Of course I’m sure, I saw it with my own eyes. Those two palace masters looked very nervous, and the God King looked strange, as if he had lost consciousness,” the white-haired old man said.
“Which direction did they go?” Kai asked hurriedly.
“Hmm…” The old man stopped talking, his eyes greedily looking at Kai’s storage bag.
The meaning was clear: to know which direction they went, he needed to exchange some immortal stones.
Seeing this, Kai didn’t hesitate to throw out five hundred immortal stones and said, “Tell me the direction…”
Looking at the five hundred high-grade immortal stones, the old man immediately smiled, and then pointed in a direction: “They went towards Death Valley over there. But it’s very dangerous there. It’s said that there are demonic beasts there, and people from the Evil Path Palace are also active there.”
“With your strength of a third-grade Human Immortal, you probably can’t even reach Death Valley. If you need me to take you there, I can…”
“Thank you for telling me, senior.” Before the old man could finish speaking, Kai threw out another five hundred high-grade immortal stones and said, “These are a token of my gratitude.”
These high-grade immortal stones were just a drop in the bucket for Kai.
The white-haired elder was quite pleased with Kai’s generosity. “Young man,” he said, “I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business. The people of the Evil Path Hall are not to be trifled with.”
“Thank you for the reminder, senior. I know what I’m doing,”
Kai replied, turning and walking towards Death Valley.
Although Kai was unfamiliar with the area, he couldn’t let a stranger guide him. In this crucible of the Heavenly Realm, there were no good people, only self-interest.
His generosity might have already lured the old man with malicious intent.
Death Valley, as its name suggests, was an extremely dangerous place.
It was filled with miasma, littered with bones, and permeated with the stench of death.
It was said that very few cultivators who entered this place ever returned alive.
