Chapter 670

What made Duan Hai’s heart most frightened was that it was from Du Wan’s hands that he brought Yang Kai back to Lei Guang.

Just now Xu Qi had also told him that a person of Du Lao’s status was unlikely to come to Lei Guang to ask for someone, but now, Du Wan was right in front of him.

Duan Hai’s heart was in turmoil, and he tried his best to maintain his composure. He stepped forward with a big smile and saluted： “Greetings to Du Lao.”

And he clasped his fists towards Cang Yan and greeted, “Brother Cang Yan.”

Du Wan nodded slightly.

Xia Chengyin said, “Elder Duan has worked hard. Please have a seat.”

Duan Hai took his seat, and his expression was a little unnatural. Because Cang Yan from Tianxiao Sect, with a pair of eagle-like eyes, had been staring at him aggressively, making him feel a sense of unease for no reason.

As if noticing this, Cang Yan’s gaze became even sharper.

Coughing dryly, Duan Hai asked softly, “I wonder why the Sect Master has summoned his subordinates this time? Is there any important matter?”

“It’s nothing major.” Xia Chengyin smiled. “Elder Du and Brother Cang Yan have come to our Lei Guang to look for someone this time.”

“Looking for someone?” The unease in Duan Hai’s heart became stronger, and his twitched slightly. He forced a smile and said, “Looking for what kind of person?

He had a premonition of something bad.

“It’s the young man you took away from the Alchemist Association two months ago.” Du Wan took over the conversation, and his expression was amiable.

Duan Hai wanted to cry but had no tears. He cursed Xu Qi in his heart for being such a crow’s mouth. It was really as he said. Elder Du, such a figure, really came to Lei Guang to ask for someone. For a while, he couldn’t help but feel a little at a loss.

Although his heart was in a turmoil, he didn’t show the slightest bit on his face. His mind was turning rapidly, considering how to resolve the difficult situation in front of him.

“Elder Duan？” Elder Du noticed that Duan Hai seemed to be in a trance and couldn’t help but frown.

“Ah, yes…” Duan Hai quickly adjusted his expression.

“Is that young friend doing well in Lei Guang？” Du Wan asked with concern.

“Very well. I have already sent out the female disciples with excellent qualifications and outstanding appearance and temperament in the sect to serve by his side. In these two months, Guest Elder Yang has also refined many spirit pills for our divine religion, and the quality is quite high.”

“That’s natural. Young Friend Yang’s understanding of alchemy in some aspects is beyond my reach.”

As soon as these words came out, Xia Chengyin and Cang Yan both looked at Du Wan in astonishment, with jing guang overflowing in their eyes.

“I’m not exaggerating. This is the truth. I think Young Friend Yang’s alchemy technique must have been directed by a master.”

Duan Hai’s complexion changed drastically. From Du Wan’s words, he realized a problem that he had overlooked – could that kid really have a very tough background？ Or was he the disciple of a top alchemist？ Otherwise, how could Elder Du give him such a high evaluation.

In an instant, Duan Hai’s hands and feet became cold and he broke out in a cold sweat.

“This guest elder is so remarkable？” Xia Chengyin also became interested and said excitedly; “Being able to hire such a person is simply a blessing for our divine religion！ Duan Hai, we must never neglect him. In the future, we must provide him with the best conditions. Otherwise, Brother Cang Yan will come to poach him from us.”

The corner of Duan Hai’s mouth twitched, and he forced a dry laugh, “This subordinate will take care of it.”

“Then where is he now？ Elder Du and Brother Cang Yan want to meet him. Duan Hai, go and invite him over.” Xia Chengyin’s eyes revealed a look of anticipation, also wanting to meet Yang Kai and see what kind of person he was to be praised so highly by Elder Du.

A drop of cold sweat couldn’t help but emerge on Duan Hai’s forehead, and he sat there motionless.

“Hurry up and go!” Xia Chengyin was a little displeased and lightly scolded.

“Sect Master…” Duan Hai had a hard expression and stammered, “Right now… he might not be very convenient.”

“What’s not convenient？” Cang Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked in a cold voice, and his expression was not very friendly either.

Duan Hai’s such evasion and his rather unnatural expression and tone before made Cang Yan quickly realize some unusual information. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Duan Hai, a ray of fine light flashing in his eyes, and said coldly, “Could it be that something unexpected happened to him？”

“No, no, no. He didn’t have an accident.” Duan Hai quickly waved his hand. “It’s just that it’s really not convenient right now.”

“Duan Hai！” Xia Chengyin’s expression was displeased. “What are you doing? Elder Du and Brother Cang Yan came here in person just to meet that guest alchemist. Why are you being so evasive? This is not the way our Divine Sect treats guests.”

“Sect Master…”

“Where is he right now？” Xia Chengyin asked impatiently.

Knowing that continuing to prevaricate would only make the situation worse, Duan Hai gritted his teeth and said, “At the Eye of the Wind.”

“Why is he at the Eye of the Wind？” Du Wan’s expression changed.

Du Wan had naturally heard of the Eye of the Wind and the Eye of Thunder in the Thunderbolt God Sect. It was the most ideal cultivation holy land for martial artists who cultivated the wind and thunder attributes. But why would Yang Kai, an alchemist, go to the Eye of the Wind？

“Previously, he said that to refine a spiritual pill, he needed to borrow the power of the Eye of the Wind, so he asked me to take him there.” A flash of inspiration crossed Duan Hai’s mind, and he thought of a good excuse.

Cang Yan cast his gaze towards Du Wan, with a hint of inquiry on his face.

Du Wan nodded slightly. “There is indeed such a possibility. When alchemists refine pills, borrowing the power of heaven and earth can often achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, this requires very profound skills and means. Otherwise, it is simply impossible to drive the power of heaven and earth. This young friend is really remarkable.

Duan Hai couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief, secretly feeling that his excuse was really a stroke of genius.

“Since he is at the Eye of the Wind, why don’t the two of you stay in our God Sect for a few days and wait for that guest elder to come out before meeting him？” Xia Chengyin looked at Old Du and Cang Yan and asked.

Old Du smiled slightly. “I don’t mind. What’s your opinion, Cang Yan？”

“I want to see him now！” Cang Yan said coldly, with an inhuman indifference in his tone.

Xia Chengyin chuckled and said, “Brother Cangyan, surely you’ve heard that the Wind Eye and Thunder Eye are the forbidden areas of our Divine Sect, and outsiders are not allowed to set foot in them. Moreover, if we go there now, we might disturb his alchemy. How about waiting for a few days, Brother Cangyan？”

“What the hell is a forbidden area！” Cangyan said with a tone of disdain. After that, he released his huge divine sense to sense for a while, and without bothering to say anything more to Lei Guang and the others, he got up and walked out of the hall, directly flying towards the location of the Wind Eye.

“Hey, Brother Cangyan!” Duan Hai was shocked and wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

“This uncle has such a hot temper.” Mina was was eager for chaos. Seeing that Cangyan had just flown away like that, she was filled with excitement and admiration, and urged Du Wan, “Old Du, let’s go there too.”

Du Wan looked at Xia Chengyin. The latter’s expression was gloomy. Cangyan’s not giving him face like this also made him extremely angry. But since the other person had already left, even if he was angry in his heart, he had no choice but to do so. After pondering for a while, he said, “Then let’s go and take a look.”

Saying that, he also stood up.

“Sorry to trouble Sect Leader Xia.” Du Wan had a face full of apologies.

“Don’t mention it, Old Du.” Xia Chengyin naturally didn’t dare to show any face to this Saint-level alchemist.

A group of several people, in a hurry, followed behind Cangyan and quickly approached the Wind Eye.

Duan Hai’s face was pale and green, and his heart was in a mess. He originally thought that he could delay for a few days. Using these few days, he could at least escape from the Thunderbolt God Religion and avoid this disaster, but he didn’t expect to fall short at the last moment.

If he wants to leave now, he will only show his flaws and make people suspicious.

Following behind Xia Chengyin and Du Wan, Duan Hai’s mood was complicated, and he secretly felt that this time I’m afraid there will be a big trouble.

Not long after, everyone had all arrived at the location of the eye of the wind. Cang Yan took the lead and was the first to arrive.

Looking at the vortex full of rich wind attribute energy from a distance, Cang Yan couldn’t help but show a hint of fear. This kind of destructive power made even him have to flinch.

Looking around, but not finding Yang Kai’s trace, Cang Yan’s face suddenly turned ugly.

Xu Qi, who had been staying here all the time, looked stunned and didn’t know what had happened. After seeing Xia Chengyin and Du Wan, Xu Qi panicked in his heart, pretended to be calm and stepped forward to salute, and then asked Duan Hai, “Senior Brother, what’s going on？”

“Elder Du and Brother Cang Yan want to come and see how Guest Qing Yang’s pill refining is going.” Duan Hai replied casually.

The light in Xu Qi’s eyes flickered, and he instantly understood the deep meaning revealed in Duan Hai’s words.

The two senior and junior brothers have worked together for many years. Although they can’t be said to have a telepathic connection, but occasionally a glance or a simple word can make the other party understand their meaning.

“Where is he？” Cang Yan turned his head and looked at Duan Hai coldly.

Duan Hai opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer, and quickly looked at Xu Qi： “Junior Brother, where is Guest Elder Yang？ He wasn’t outside when I left just now？”

Xu Qi understood immediately and replied： “He went in there. He said it was more convenient to refine pills inside.”

“Went in there？” Everyone’s complexion changed drastically.

“How could he get in？” Elder Du’s lips trembled. “Not to mention that he is only at the peak of the Divine Wanderer Realm, even if he is at the Third Layer of the Transcendent Realm, going in there is a sure death！ How could you let him in？”

Xu Qi smiled awkwardly and said： “I couldn’t stop him. Guest Elder Yang said not to worry, he has his own way to save his life.”

“This… this…” Du Wan’s complexion was anxious.

Cang Yan didn’t make a sound. His huge divine sense spread out and rushed into the violent eye of the wind. Just after a breath of time, he couldn’t help but snorted, took a few steps back, and his complexion suddenly turned pale.

He wanted to use his divine sense to detect the situation in the eye of the wind and inevitably suffered some damage.

His eyes flickered, and Cang Yan looked at Duan Hai and Xu Qi coldly： “Did he go in by himself or were you the ones who threw him in？”

Xia Chengyin frowned, and said with some anger： “What does Brother Cang Yan mean？ Do you think that the elders of my Divine Sect would harm a guest minister？”

Cang Yan sneered coldly, and his eagle-like gaze turned around Duan Hai and Xu Qi, and his aura gradually became dangerous.

Duan Hai and Xu Qi did not dare to look at him, and their eyes dodged.

Du Wan observed their expressions, and his old face couldn’t help but sink. Youdaoplaceholder0 Duan Hai’s constant shirk just now he also felt that something was wrong.

The people here are all the strongest among the strong, and naturally they are not stupid. Although Duan Hai and Xu Qi sang in harmony and wove a watertight lie, they still saw some clues.

“What’s going on？” Xia Chengyin’s expression was gloomy, and he asked the two elders in a cold voice, “Brother Cang Yan has doubts about my Divine Sect. You should explain it to me carefully！”

“Master, please be enlightened.” Duan Hai shouted, “Guest Minister Yang’s alchemy skills are superb. We can’t wait to treat him well. How could we possibly harm him!”
