Chapter 5761
Another elder of the Bear Clan, Xiong Tuo, who was obese, had a kind face but shrewd eyes, and stroked his chin slowly, saying, “Young man, it’s not that we don’t believe you, it’s just that this matter is too astonishing. Do you have any proof? Or rather, what special magic weapon or secret technique did you use?”
Clearly, like the deceased Elder Li Yan, they simply couldn’t believe that a seventh-grade Immortal could possess such heaven-defying combat power.
Shi Yan and Ying Wu were sweating profusely, wanting to explain, but were stopped by a single glance from Elder Yu Sha.
The Lord of the Rift Heaven Sect remained silent, only staring intently at Kai, as if trying to see through him.
Facing numerous questioning and disdainful gazes, Kai’s expression remained calm, as if everything around him was irrelevant.
He didn’t even have the desire to explain, simply returning the Lord of the Rift Heaven Sect’s gaze indifferently.
This silence and calmness, in the eyes of some elders, seemed more like a guilty conscience.
Elder Yu Sha snorted coldly, “Sect Master, this matter is suspicious. This person’s origins are unknown, and his cultivation is low, yet he claims to possess such combat power. He is likely a spy sent by the Demonic Sect.” ”
He’s trying to infiltrate our headquarters using a self-inflicted injury ruse; we must be wary! In my opinion, we should capture him first and interrogate him thoroughly!”
These words immediately created a tense atmosphere in the hall.
Several elders nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with Yu Sha’s assessment.
Shi Yan and Ying Wu’s faces turned pale; they wanted to speak, but were intimidated by the powerful pressure and unable to utter a sound.
Just as the atmosphere became tense, the little fire unicorn on Kai’s shoulder seemed to sense malice, letting out a low growl of dissatisfaction, and its crimson-gold flames suddenly surged high.
A pure and majestic aura of auspicious beast spread out, subtly diluting the pressure emanating from the elders.
“Hmm? This is… a Fire Qilin?!”
Elder Xiong Tuo’s eyes lit up, revealing surprise. “And its bloodline seems extremely pure!”
The Lord of the Rift Heaven Sect also glanced at the little Fire Qilin, a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Kai finally spoke, his voice calm yet clear, reaching everyone’s ears: “I have only two purposes for this trip. First, to settle old scores with the Myriad Souls Demon Sect. Second, to rest here temporarily and gather some information. If your sect does not welcome me, I will leave.”
His tone was completely unwavering, showing neither anger at being questioned nor a pleading desire to stay, as if he were discussing a trivial matter unrelated to himself.
This detached attitude, ironically, made some elders unsure of what to do.
“Hmph, easy for you to say! Who knows if you are…” Elder Yu Sha wanted to say more.
“Enough.”
The Lord of the Rift Heaven Sect finally spoke, his voice low but carrying an undeniable authority, interrupting him.
His gaze was piercing as he looked deeply at Kai again, as if he had made a decision.
“Shi Yan, Ying Wu, and the others were indeed saved by you. Our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect acknowledges this debt of gratitude
,” the Rift Heaven Sect Master said slowly. “As for your strength… words are insufficient proof. Our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect respects the strong and believes in seeing is believing.”
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the elders present before returning to Kai: “Three days from now, there will be a core disciple advancement assessment within the sect, which includes a challenge involving the Beast Soul Battle Array.”
“If you can single-handedly break the Three Talents Beast Soul Array composed of three core disciples at the fourth rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it will prove your words are true, and our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will treat you as an honored guest.” ”
Any information you wish to inquire about, as long as it doesn’t involve core sect secrets, will be readily available. If you cannot…”
The Rift Heaven Sect Master didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Elder Yu Sha’s lips curled into a cold smile upon hearing this.
The Three Talents Beast Soul Array, executed by three well-coordinated core disciples at the fourth rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, was powerful enough to trap and kill an ordinary fifth-rank Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator!
He absolutely refused to believe that this seventh-rank Heavenly Immortal Realm brat could break the array.
Elder Xiong Tuo squinted, seemingly lost in thought.
Kai raised his eyes, met the gaze of the Rift Heaven Sect Master, and without any hesitation, uttered a single word: “Good!”
