Chapter 5798
A moment later, outside the Xuan Tian Sword Sect’s mountain gate,
Ling Shuang stood solemnly with twenty disciples, all dressed in tight-fitting clothes, carrying long swords, and exuding a powerful aura.
These disciples were all between the third and fifth ranks of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, their eyes sharp, their movements silent—clearly elite.
Kai, now dressed in a neat blue robe, stood at the front of the group. Ling Shuang stood half a step behind him, her pretty face tense, clearly still resentful about what had just happened. To her, obeying the orders of a seventh-rank Heavenly Immortal was an utter disgrace.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, take care on your journey. If needed, please send a message.”
Ling Yunzi personally saw him off, handing him a sword-shaped jade talisman.
Kai accepted the talisman and nodded: “Sect Master Ling, farewell.”
Without another word, he transformed into a streak of blue light and sped off towards the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. Seeing this, Ling Shuang, though displeased, could only wave her hand: “Follow!”
Twenty-one sword lights followed closely behind, slicing through the sky.
…
Leaving the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range, they entered the vast wilderness and forested area.
Kai maintained a speed that Ling Shuang and the others could keep up with, but his brows remained furrowed, his divine sense fully extended, vigilantly monitoring the surrounding movements, while also constantly sensing whether there were any familiar auras of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect remaining.
Ling Shuang followed behind, watching Kai’s leisurely pace and his aura, which only fluctuated at the seventh rank of the Human Immortal Realm, her suspicion and disdain growing stronger.
Father said he repelled the Soul Fiend?
How could that be!
The Soul Fiend must have been exhausted after its battle with Father, allowing him to take advantage, or perhaps he used some underhanded means!
Maybe that rumor was deliberately spread by Father for some purpose.
Ling Shuang simply didn’t believe Kai was that powerful.
“Hey!”
After flying for about half a day, Ling Shuang finally couldn’t help but speed up to Kai’s side, asking stiffly, “Where are we going? The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is so vast, are we just going to search aimlessly like headless flies?”
Kai glanced at her and said calmly, “Let’s go to the vicinity of the former site of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect first. With the rebellion just quelled, the Fusion Beast Clan and the Ten Thousand Souls Demon Sect will definitely be very active. Perhaps we can capture some prisoners and find out where the Rift Heaven Sect Master and the others are. Even if we can’t, we can still observe the situation.”
This idea was clear and reasonable, but Ling Shuang curled her lip: “Easy for you to say. What if we run into a large group? With just the few of us?”
“We’ll see how things go,”
Kai said, too lazy to explain further.
If it weren’t for Ling Yunzi’s sake, he would have acted alone long ago.
Ling Shuang, rebuffed, sullenly fell half a step behind and complained to a familiar disciple behind her, “I really don’t know what Father was thinking, making us listen to this pretentious guy’s orders.”
The disciple smiled bitterly, not daring to reply.
After flying for about another hour, they came to a desolate valley filled with jagged rocks.
Kai suddenly changed his expression and raised his hand, signaling the group to stop.
“What’s wrong?”
Ling Shuang asked, puzzled; her divine sense hadn’t detected anything unusual.
Kai didn’t answer, his cold gaze fixed on a shadowy area deep within the valley.
Just as Ling Shuang and the others followed his gaze, the shadow suddenly began to writhe, and then dozens of figures shot out, blocking their path!
These figures were divided into several groups. Some wore the black robes of the Myriad Souls Demon Sect, exuding a chilling demonic aura;
others were of various forms, some half-human, half-beast, others with distinct animalistic features, but all possessed fierce eyes and a wild, turbulent aura—they were warriors of the Fusion Beast Clan!
They were clearly lying in ambush or patrolling this area.
Leading them was a fifth-grade Celestial Immortal elder of the Myriad Souls Demon Sect, and a burly Fusion Beast leader with boar-like tusks and bristles.
“Hahaha! It’s like finding a needle in a haystack!”
The demon sect elder grinned maliciously upon seeing Kai and his group, especially the Xuan Tian Sword Sect insignia on their bodies. “We just received orders to search this area for any remnants of the Myriad Beasts Sect or spies from the Sword Sect, and here they are, delivered right to our doorstep!”
“And there’s a delicate little wench too, perfect for capturing and presenting to Sect Master Zheng Gu for some amusement!”
His lewd gaze swept over Ling Shuang.
