Chapter 1042
byYang Kai unreservedly urged his own strength, and the speed of the top-grade star shuttle was brought into full play.
The unease and sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger.
In just half a day, Yang Kai arrived at the mountains where the branch was located. He directly went to the attic arranged by Halika.
From a distance, Yang Kai released his spiritual sense to sense, and found that the attic was still the same as when he left. There was no trace of anyone coming, and Xue Yue was not here either.
He immediately turned around and galloped towards the branch.
A moment later, Yang Kai once again came to the palace where he had seen Halika before.
Several guards guarding the palace gate couldn’t help frowning when they saw him rushing over in a hurry. They didn’t know what had happened to make him so nervous.
They had met Yang Kai once before and knew that this young man had come with the Snow Lady from the main star and was the guard beside the Snow Lady. However, his strength was a bit low, which made them look down on him. They secretly felt that the people from the main star were just so-so.
“Has the branch president Halika come back yet？” Yang Kai landed in front of them and didn’t waste any words. He directly asked.
“What do you want to see President Halika for？” One of the guards asked instead of answering.
“Has he come back？” Yang Kai growled, his expression ferocious, looking like a beast ready to devour someone.
The guard was stunned, and a hint of fear couldn’t help but rise in his heart. He shook his head subconsciously.
“Do you know where he went？” Yang Kai asked again.
The guard who had just shaken his head seemed a bit angry and ashamed because of his unconscious cooperation just now. He snorted and said, “How can you inquire about the whereabouts of the adult? Who do you think you are?”
Even if he came from the main star, he was just a guard at the Second-Order Saint Realm. This tone and attitude were really annoying.
Yang Kai glanced at him and secretly felt that it was a waste of time to ask them. These people had a low status and probably wouldn’t know too many secrets.
Without saying a word, Yang Kai turned around and left. He flew towards another palace.
Inside that palace, there was the aura of a powerful person, reaching the Void Returning Realm. He should know something about the situation.
“Damn it, this brat…” Several guards couldn’t help but be a bit angry. They stared hatefully at Yang Kai’s back. If it weren’t for the fact that he was a person from the main star, they would definitely not let Yang Kai off easily.
A moment later, Yang Kai arrived in front of the palace not far away and landed. He walked directly to the several guards at the door and said, “I want to see the adult inside！”
“What’s the matter？” One of the guards asked.
“There should be something wrong with President Harika！”
The expression of that guard changed. He sized up Yang Kai and said with some disbelief, “How do you know？ President Halika is a Void Returning Stage powerhouse. He is one of the top experts on Rainfall Star. What could happen to make him…”
“Can you go in and report？” Yang Kai interrupted him impatiently.
“Let him in！” Suddenly, a loud voice came from inside. The movement here had obviously been transmitted in and noticed by the powerhouse inside.
As soon as the voice fell, before the guard could react, Yang Kai had already rushed into the palace like the wind.
It was similar to Halika’s palace. Inside the palace, on a chair, there was a middle-aged man handling the affairs of the branch. Seeing Yang Kai rush in rapidly, he couldn’t help but look up at him and said, “You are the guard who followed Lord Xue from the main star？”
“Yes！” Yang Kai nodded.
“I am Lin Mufeng of the branch.” The middle-aged man snorted coldly, “I don’t care if you are from the main star or follow which adult. Here, I am in charge！”
Yang Kai remained silent.
“Why do you say that Halika should have an accident？” Lin Mufeng was very satisfied with Yang Kai’s cooperative attitude and asked, “As far as I know, you are not qualified to participate in this secret operation. Since you didn’t participate, how could you know？”
Yang Kai furrowed his brows, and a flash of inspiration crossed his mind. He took out the compass-shaped secret treasure： “Lord Xue sent a message. They have encountered great danger.”
“What kind of danger？” Lin Mufeng’s expression changed slightly, and he somewhat believed Yang Kai’s words.
Yang Kai shook his head： “I can’t get in touch with Lord Xue now. You can try to contact President Halika and ask him.”
Lin Mufeng pondered for a moment and also took out a compass secret treasure. He infused his divine sense into it, attempting to get in touch with Halika.
After a while, his expression became solemn, and he shouted: “Something really happened.”
He didn’t receive any response and immediately knew that what Yang Kai said was true.
“Come with me！” Lin Mufeng beckoned to Yang Kai and rushed out in a hurry.
Outside the palace, Lin Mufeng directly sacrificed a star shuttle and flew in a certain direction. Yang Kai followed closely behind.
During the flight, Lin Mufeng held the compass secret treasure and continuously communicated with someone, issuing various orders.
After a while, green rainbows flickered in all directions and quickly gathered here. These people were all martial artists of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce summoned by Lin Mufeng.
They gathered around Lin Mufeng, followed him, and flew forward without asking too many questions about what had happened.
Yang Kai observed secretly and was slightly shocked in his heart.
Many of these warriors are powerful Saint King Realm experts, and the number of Saint Realm ones is not large. Among them, there are even several Void Return Realm.
“Mu Feng, what happened? Why did you call us here in such a hurry.” A middle-aged woman approached Lin Mu Feng and asked.
“Hali Ka and the others seem to have had an accident. I can’t get any response no matter how I call.” Lin Mu Feng said anxiously.
The middle-aged woman’s face changed, and she exclaimed, “Is there really any danger in that ancient ruin？”
“I don’t know. When we discovered that ruin, we reported it to the main star and didn’t dare to privately investigate. This time, that Lord Xue came here for the investigation of the ruin. If there is really any danger, it’s not surprising.”
“Where is that Lord Xue？” The middle-aged woman asked again.
“With Hali Ka.” Lin Mu Feng’s face was extremely ugly, and he glanced at the middle-aged woman and said in a low voice “She seems to be the woman of the third young master of Xue Yue!”
The middle-aged woman’s face suddenly turned pale, and she quickly realized that the problem was more serious than she thought.
If it were someone else and had an accident because of this unknown danger, it wouldn’t be a big deal. After all, the branch president Hali Ka was also involved. This is not a scene that the branch wants to see.
But if that Lord Xue is the woman of Young Master Xue Yue, things will be different.
No one dares to bear the anger of Young Master Xue Yue！ If it’s not handled well, the entire branch will be purged. At that time, there will be a river of blood and countless deaths. No one can afford to take such responsibility.
Everyone was well aware of the heartlessness and cruelty of the Third Young Master Xueyue.
While the two were talking, Yang Kai remained silent all the time. They also had no intention of hiding anything. Regarding that ancient ruin, Yang Kai naturally heard clearly and also knew why Xueyue had come to Rainfall Star this time.
If it were an ordinary time, Yang Kai would definitely be interested in that ancient ruin, but now his mind was simply not on this aspect.
The further they flew forward, the stronger the unease in Yang Kai’s heart became.
He didn’t know what exactly Xueyue had encountered, but it was certain that Xueyue wasn’t dead！
Because the lives of the two were connected. If Xueyue died, Yang Kai would surely die without a doubt.
He secretly decided that this time he must untie the soul chain no matter what. No matter whether Xueyue would cause trouble for him afterwards or not, this kind of feeling that one’s life couldn’t be controlled was too terrible.
After flying forward for a long time again, Lin Mufeng and the middle-aged woman suddenly descended towards the down.
Below that, it should be a minefield, producing unknown ores. The ground was full of large pits, many of which were bottomless and pitch-black.
Dozens of people in a row all landed on the edge of the largest cave.
The martial artists of the chamber of commerce who were staying nearby immediately greeted them and clasping their fists said, “Lord Lin, Lord Qi!
Lin Mufeng nodded slightly and asked him, “What happened here？”
The warrior was stunned by the question and looked at him suspiciously. “Nothing happened…”
He didn’t seem to know the situation yet.
Lin Mufeng shook his head and didn’t ask any more questions. He took out the compass treasure again and tried to call out, but still couldn’t get a response from Hali Ka.
“Could something have happened to the president of the branch？” The warrior finally saw something wrong from Lin Mufeng’s expression and asked in surprise and doubt.
Lin Mufeng nodded. “Probably. I’ll take some people down to have a look. You wait for my contact.”
As he spoke, he was about to fly down. Just then, the middle-aged woman surnamed Qi suddenly exclaimed, “Someone is coming up…”
Lin Mufeng’s expression became serious and he quickly released his divine sense to sense. At the same time, Yang Kai was also checking the situation.
Inside the cave, several erratic life auras were rising rapidly. Judging from their life fluctuations, they should have encountered danger and suffered some injuries. One of them, even had a weak breath and the fire of life was flickering, as if he was about to die soon.
“It’s Hali Ka！” The middle-aged woman shouted. She had detected Hali Ka’s aura.
Lin Mufeng’s face lit up with joy and he waited secretly.
A moment later, several green lights shot out from the cave, as if there was some danger chasing behind them, and they all shot towards the sky.
Without exception, those green lights were all flickering, obviously the star shuttles inside had been damaged and their performance had become unstable.
A dozen or so martial artists of the business association who came with Lin Mufeng rushed up and caught their companions.
One of them, with cold air billowing around his body like curling clouds of smoke. A business association martial artist of unknown strength caught him. In an instant, his whole body trembled violently, and the visible cold air actually spread towards his body. In a short while, his whole body became stiff and unable to move.
The two seemed to be frozen together and fell from the sky at the same time.
Boom…
With a dull sound, the flesh and blood was like ice cubes, shattering apart. The two martial artists died instantly.
“Don’t get close to them！” A roar came out. In the sky, Hali Ka’s face was pale as he landed with great difficulty.
Hearing his shout, all the martial artists of the business association who were going to rescue their companions stopped and didn’t dare to get any closer.
Lin Mufeng and the middle-aged woman concentrated their gaze on Hali Ka. After seeing his current state, both of them had their eyelids twitch, and a chill couldn’t help but rise in their hearts.
Yang Kai also took in Hali Ka’s state and his expression became solemn.
