Chapter 841

On the lofty peak of the snow-capped mountain, Yang Kai sat cross-legged quietly. Goose-feather-like snowflakes drifted down and buried him.

Yang Kai remained indifferent, his whole aura converging to the extreme. Even if a Saint Realm powerhouse passed by here, they might not necessarily detect any flaws.

Below the mountain peak, a green rainbow light was rapidly approaching.

In a short while, the green light stopped at the top of the mountain, revealing a figure. It was precisely Wu Jie of the Netherworld Sect.

Wu Jie was carrying Liu Gui in his hand. At this moment, this young man from the Battle Soul Palace seemed to have accepted his fate, listless and without much spirit.

“Where is he?” Wu Jie looked around but didn’t find Yang Kai’s trace and asked coldly.

Liu Gui quickly said, “This is the place. The location he pointed out to me is right here. Why can’t we see him？”

As he spoke, he also hurriedly searched.

“Why did it take so long?” Suddenly, a voice came from directly in front of the two. Liu Gui was shocked. After recognizing whose voice it was, he happily greeted, “Holy Lord!”

Wu Jie concentrated his gaze and looked forward. He saw that in a snowdrift not far away, a pair of shining eyes flickered.

A person stood up from that snowdrift. With the operation of true essence, the snow had melted.

His expression couldn’t help but turn solemn. Wu Jie laughed sinisterly, threw Liu Gui to the ground, and said with a bow “Holy Master, after several years of not seeing each other, your demeanor is still the same!”

Along with the voice, those pair of eyes like ghost fire were also sizing up Yang Kai up and down, as if wanting to see how much he had grown. When he noticed that Yang Kai was now at the Third-Order Transcendent Realm, the green and gloomy light in his eyes flickered even more rapidly.

“The same goes for Sect Master Wu.” Yang Kai nodded slightly.

Wu Jie quickly said, “Hehe, it took a lot of time to avoid those people and come out alone. I hope Holy Master won’t blame me.”

“As long as Sect Master Wu can come.” Yang Kai’s expression was indifferent. He looked at Liu Gui again and said, “You’ve also worked hard.”

Liu Gui quickly waved his hand and said, “Not hard, not hard. It’s my honor to serve Holy Master. Moreover, along the way, it was Sect Master Wu who brought this disciple here by flying… Hehe…”

As he spoke, his face had a hesitant look, as if he wanted to say something but held back.

Yang Kai casually threw him a jade bottle and said, “This is your reward for this time. There may be a need to use you in the future. Go back and cultivate well.”

Liu Gui took it and was overjoyed： “Thank you, Holy Lord！”

Last time, he brought Yun Xuan and Ruan Xinyu of the Du Ao League to see Yang Kai and was rewarded with a bottle of spirit pills. Relying on that bottle of spirit pills, his strength had improved greatly. Today, Yang Kai rewarded him with another bottle, so Liu Gui was naturally happy.

Holding the jade bottle tightly, Liu Gui asked carefully： “Two adults, if there is nothing for me here, this disciple will take his leave first. If I leave for a long time, those people will become suspicious.”

“Go！” Yang Kai waved his hand.

Liu Gui rushed back in a flash.

When Yang Kai was talking to Liu Gui, Wu Jie just stood aside quietly and listened, without any intention of interrupting. His strange eyes that changed constantly with a weird look seemed to be meditating about something.

It was not until Liu Gui left that Wu Jie asked hoarsely： “How did you get in touch with that disciple of the Battle Soul Palace？”

Yang Kai smiled and said： “When you attacked the Nine Heavens Holy Land, I had a chess piece planted in the Battle Soul Palace. Unexpectedly, it could also be of some use this time. Well, take back the tricks you played on him and spare his life. Maybe he will still be useful.”

Wu Jie laughed strangely and admired： “The Holy Lord is really as sharp as a torch. You even saw this. It seems that your spiritual sense cultivation is stronger than mine.”

If it weren’t for this, when he came to the peak earlier, Wu Jie wouldn’t have failed to detect Yang Kai’s presence.

A Martial Artist at the Transcendent Three-layer Realm has stronger Divine Sense cultivation than himself, an Entering Saint Realm Martial Artist. What does this mean？

Wu Jie’s heart was deeply shocked.

As he spoke, his fingers moved. Moments later, a terrifying thing like a ghost face floated back from the direction where Liu Gui had left and disappeared into Wu Jie’s body.

“Patriarch Wu, how did you come here？” Yang Kai’s expression turned serious as he got down to business.

In Giant Stone City, when Yang Kai released his Divine Sense and sensed Liu Gui’s presence, he really couldn’t believe it. Since Liu Gui was here, it meant that the people from Battle Soul Palace were here, and then the people from Netherworld Sect and Broken Mystery Mansion must also be here.

These three forces were the three parties that were once enemies of Nine Heavens Holy Land.

These people were hundreds of thousands of miles away from here and came to this Endless Snow Mountain without hesitation. Their actions were really thought-provoking. Although Yang Kai had some speculations, he still had to find Wu Jie to confirm it.

“would you wouldn’t have come here chasing after me?” Yang Kai squinted at Wu Jie and asked with a hehe smile.

Wu Jie pondered for a moment and said, “It can be said like this, but not for you. We came here to look for a person！”

“Looking for whom?” Yang Kai’s gaze burned as he stared at Wu Jie intently. Under his gaze, even someone as powerful as Wu Jie faintly felt a sense of oppression.

Couldn’t help but frown： “This person should have some relationship with the Saint Lord. And judging from your nervous appearance, it seems you’ve already guessed the purpose of our coming here！ So it turns out that the Saint Lord really knows the secret of the Coffin Carrier？ Also knows where the Coffin Carrier is hiding？”

Yang Kai’s eyes shrank, and he secretly sighed. He thought to himself that they really came for the Coffin Carrier.

When he met Wu Jie back then, he had faintly hinted at this matter. He said that a warrior from the Battle Soul Palace named Yao Di had witnessed the scene where he was captured by the Coffin Carrier in Blazing Fire City. Precisely because it was related to the Coffin Carrier, that’s why the Broken Mystery Mansion and the Battle Soul Palace chased and attacked Yang Kai fiercely.

However, at that time, Yang Kai didn’t pay much attention and felt that these two forces were not worth fearing.

But unexpectedly, after more than two years, they actually found out about this Endless Snow Mountain and directly came here.

“Whether I know or not has nothing to do with you. Tell me what you know. How did you find this place？” Yang Kai asked with a frown.

Wu Jie chuckled and didn’t beat around the bush. He said, “It’s very simple to find this place. The origin of the Holy Master is mysterious, which makes Zhang Ao of the Po Xuan Mansion and Cao Guan of the Battle Soul Palace lose face. Naturally, these two people will inquire about your background and news. Only then did they know that the Holy Master is actually from the Tianxiao Sect… What’s even more interesting is that you are not from the Tianxiao Sect, but from a remote place. Before going to the Tianxiao Sect, you also went to the nearby Lei Guang Divine Sect and served as a guest elder. Well, from the mouths of the disciples of the Lei Guang Divine Sect, it was learned that when you first appeared in this area, you walked out of the snow-capped mountains. And that appearance was your first appearance after being captured by the Coffin Carrier. This can’t help but make people associate with some things.”

“The mind is quite meticulous.” Yang Kai snorted coldly.

He was captured by the Coffin Carrier back then and then appeared in the snow-capped mountains. It would indeed allow those with a heart to spy on some useful information and make people think that the Coffin Carrier was hiding in the Endless Snow Mountains.

And in fact, this is indeed the case！

Wu Jie’s expression was solemn： “Zhang Ao and Cao Guan hate you to the bone and also covet the power hidden behind the Coffin Carrier. Naturally, they spared no effort in inquiring about this information, and it didn’t cost much effort. They could find out with just a few questions.”

“However…” Wu Jie changed the subject. “Although they have found out all this and believe that the Coffin Carrier is hiding in the Snow Mountain, this Snow Mountain covers a vast area. Trying to find a person here is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Zhang Ao and Cao Guan were originally not willing to bring people here.”

“Then why did they come？” Yang Kai frowned.

Wu Jie paused and smiled bitterly. “To be honest with the Holy Lord, two or three years ago, the three of us chased you for several months. After losing your trail we returned to our respective sects. Zhang Ao and Cao Guan were worried all day that once the Nine Heavens Holy Land recovered its strength, it would take revenge. So they wanted to find a backer who could counter the Nine Heavens Holy Land or move the entire sect! However, not long after, a mysterious guy approached Zhang Ao and asked him to inquire about you. And this time’s entry into the Snow Mountain is also because of this guy.”

“A mysterious guy?” Yang Kai was stunned. “How mysterious?”

“Youdaoplaceholder0!” Wu Jie’s expression was solemn. “This person is wrapped in a black robe and it is impossible to tell whether it is a man or a woman. His cultivation level is also unfathomable. There is another person beside him who seems to be his subordinate. This subordinate has the Youdaoplaceholder0 level of the peak of the First-Order Saint Realm!

Yang Kai’s expression couldn’t help but change.

A subordinate has the cultivation level of the First-Order Saint Realm. How high is the strength of this mysterious person himself？

“This matter was led by this person. Our Nether Sect couldn’t stay out of it and could only get involved.”

“Don’t you know the background of this mysterious person？”

Wu Jie slowly shook his head. “He only promised us that after this matter is over, the Nine Heavens Holy Land will not pose any threat to us. That’s why Zhang Ao and Cao Guan are so hardworking. Not only did they greet their relatives and friends, but they also spent a lot of money to invite the nearby Ancient Moon Cave Heaven and Luo Shengmen to come together.”

Yang Kai nodded. The snow mountain is so big. Naturally, manpower is needed to search for it. Although there are no top experts in the Ancient Moon Cave Heaven and Luo Shengmen, those martial artists can still be used to look for people.

And the reason why Ran Jing and Mao Da went to Boulder City to find Du Wan to refine the poison-warding pills should be to guard against the highly toxic gas emitted by the decay of the body of the Coffin Carrier.

“Although Wu doesn’t know who that guy is… But I think there are very few people in the world who have reached his cultivation level. Moreover… Whether it’s that mysterious guy or his subordinate, there is an uncomfortable aura flowing on their bodies！”

“What kind of aura？”

Wu Jie pondered for a moment and shouted in a low voice： “Demonic Qi！”

Yang Kai’s expression changed drastically. “You mean that person comes from…”

Wu Jie slowly shook his head. “I don’t know about that. I just feel that their auras are somewhat similar. Regarding this matter, I think it’s best if you don’t get involved. It’s no longer something that I can help with. To be honest, I also have a feeling of being on the verge of death every day when I’m there.”

Yang Kai slightly nodded. “I have my own measure！”
