Chapter 2033

I’ve had a cold for several days. It’s so bad.

………………

“Hall Master Zong and Hall Master Lian？” Yang Kai couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard this.

“They are the two original deputy hall masters of the Blazing Fire Palace. One is called Zong Qing, and the other is called Lian Yuming.” Kang Siran quietly explained aside.

Yang Kai showed a clear look and looked down. He quickly locked onto the two Dao Source Realm powerhouses standing not far away, thinking that these two people should be Zong Qing and Lian Yuming.

The two deputy hall masters of the Blazing Fire Palace both have the strength of the first level of the Dao Source Realm, and these two people are also the same. There are also marks of the Blazing Fire Palace on their clothes, so there should be no mistake.

Yang Kai suddenly remembered that when he was training in the Five-Colored Pagoda, he had met a guy named Zong Zijin at the Ascending Dragon Platform. That person had the cultivation base of the third level of the Void King Realm and was also from the Blazing Fire Palace. Judging from this, it is very likely that Zong Zijin has a blood relationship with this Zong Qing, and maybe even father and son.

Moments later, that vision vanished, and at the same time, the strange fragrance in the air disappeared in an instant.

Only then did the disciple of the Blazing Fire Palace who led Yang Kai and Kang Siran over wave his hand, bring the two of them down and say in front of the two Dao Source Realm powerhouses: “Reporting to the two Palace Masters, two more people have been by the vision of Yuan Mountain.”

Upon hearing his report, among the two Dao Source Realm powerhouses, the taller one nodded slightly. After his divine sense swept over Yang Kai and Kang Siran, he then said indifferently: Since they have come, just take them aside and settle them down.

“Yes.” That disciple of the Blazing Fire Palace responded, led Yang Kai and Kang Siran to the side, and said： “You just wait here. If there is any action, we will notify you.”

“Wait a moment.” Yang Kai quickly stopped him.

“What else is there？” That disciple of the Blazing Fire Palace seemed rather impatient.

Yang Kai grinned, moved closer, and quietly stuffed some Source Crystals into his hand, whispering： “It’s like this, friend. I want to ask what the current situation is. If it’s convenient, can you explain it to me？”

The disciple of the Blazing Fire Palace felt the continuous stream of Source Crystals sent by Yang Kai in his sleeve. Then he smiled with satisfaction and said, “What else could be the situation? To tell you the truth, for some unknown reason, an ancient cave has appeared inside Yuan Ding Mountain. If it weren’t used for this vision revealing itself I’m afraid no one would have known. Look, our two Palace Masters and many elite disciples of the palace have rushed here. They came for this ancient cave.”

“Ancient cave?” Yang Kai pretended to be extremely surprised, his eyes bulging, and said, “Since an ancient cave has been discovered, why doesn’t your Blazing Fire Palace explore it alone? Instead of stopping the passing martial artists, you even welcome us here. Why is that?”

Hearing this, the disciple of the Blazing Fire Palace looked around and said in a low voice, “If we could explore it alone, do you think there would be anything for others to do？ However, the two Palace Masters have already tried. With their strength, they simply can’t break the restrictions of this cave. This cave seems to have been left by a Supreme Emperor Realm powerhouse. Even after countless years, the restrictive power is still extremely powerful. All the elites of our Blazing Fire Palace attacked together, but we still couldn’t do anything about that restriction. So we can only rely on external forces.”

After hearing what he said, Yang Kai suddenly showed a look of understanding： “So that’s how it is！”

Beside him, Kang Siran furrowed his brows, clearly a little surprised. After all, he had also come to secretly investigate this cave mansion back then and felt that although the restriction was powerful, it shouldn’t be so difficult that it could stump a Dao Source Realm. However, it was not appropriate to ask rashly at this time.

“According to what you said, it seems that your hall intends to use the strength of us outsiders to break the restriction？” Yang Kai asked thoughtfully.

“Naturally, more people, more strength.”

Yang Kai chuckled： “Using our strength, I naturally have no objection. But if the restriction is really broken, how should the things inside be distributed？”

The disciple of the Blazing Fire Hall shook his head and said： “I don’t know about that. That’s something that the two hall masters need to worry about. Alright, that’s all I have to say. Friend, you just wait patiently.”

After saying that, this person left without saying a word, not giving Yang Kai a chance to ask more questions at all.

After this person left, Yang Kai looked at Kang Siran, and the two of them walked aside tacitly, their expressions both a little ugly.

“I really didn’t expect things to turn out like this.” Kang Siran’s brows were furrowed into a ball. “If we had known this earlier, we should have come to investigate earlier. Alas, now that this vision has appeared, I’m afraid that everyone who saw it nearby will rush over.”

“It shouldn’t make much difference whether we come earlier or later. Since those two Dao Source Realm experts couldn’t break the restriction even with their own efforts, with our strength, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do. Although the current situation has its disadvantages, it may not necessarily be without advantages.”

“What does Brother Yang mean by this？” Kang Siran looked at him in surprise.

Yang Kai grinned and said, “Shopkeeper Kang has resources that others don’t have, and this is the advantage.”

Kang Siran heard this, thought for a while, and nodded, saying, “That’s right, the things in my hand are of great value.”

What the two of them referred to was naturally the route map inside the cave. The thing that was given to Kang Siran by the descendant of Gongsun Mu’s servant not only included the specific location of the cave but also the internal route.

With this thing in hand, even if there are more people going in, Yang Kai and Kang Siran are not afraid of losing the initiative.

Moreover, according to the information Yang Kai had previously inquired about, the people in the Blazing Fire Palace only knew that there was a cave in Yuanding Mountain. As for whose cave it was and what was inside, they knew nothing at all.

Thinking of this, Kang Siran’s heart settled down. He exchanged a glance with Yang Kai and then calmly closed his eyes to meditate and wait.

As time passed, more and more martial artists were by the vision and rushed to Yuanding Mountain. However, the strength of these martial artists was really uneven. There were a large number of Void Returning Mirrors, and there were only a dozen Void King Realms.

Adding the martial artists who had already gathered here before, the number had exceeded seventy.

Two days later, the two Dao Source Realm powerhouses of the Blazing Fire Palace looked at each other. Zong Qing gently nodded and said, “Almost everyone is here. Let’s start.”

Lian Yuming also nodded and said, “The longer the night, the more dreams. It’s time to take action.”

As soon as the words fell, the two stood up at the same time.

As soon as these two made a move, the martial artists gathered here all opened their eyes and looked at them.

Zong Qing swept his eyes below and said, All the friends here should have been by the vision here. Thank you for waiting here for such a long time. I am Zong Qing, the deputy palace master of the Blazing Fire Palace. Presumably many people recognize me.”

“Of course we know the great name of Deputy Palace Master Zong. But Deputy Palace Master Zong, dare to ask why you gathered us here, and what’s the deal with the inside of Yuan Ding Mountain？” Immediately, an impatient martial artist at the bottom asked.

Hearing this, Zong Qing smiled slightly and said, “This friend asked a good question. I just want to explain this aspect to everyone. What’s the deal with the inside of Yuan Ding Mountain? In fact, I don’t know very well. I only know that there is an ancestor’s cave inside, and it seems to be the cave left by a Supreme Emperor Realm powerhouse！”

“The cave of a Supreme Emperor Realm powerhouse？”

“Actually in the interior of Yuan Ding Mountain？”

“This place was desolate before. I passed by here many times. Why didn’t I think of exploring it？ Alas, it’s really a big loss.”

In an instant, the hubbub of voices came, some people were extremely annoyed, some were extremely excited, and some had changing expressions.

Zong Qing smiled and said, “This cave has been explored by my Blazing Fire Palace before. Although the first two layers of restrictions have been broken, the last layer of restrictions cannot be broken, so we have been unable to enter. Therefore, we can only rely on the strength of you friends. You will work together with my Blazing Fire Palace later. As long as we break this last layer of restrictions, we can open this predecessor’s cave and see what’s inside！”

“So the first two layers of restrictions have been broken.” Kang Siran showed a thoughtful look. He had been suspicious before. With two Dao Source Realm powerhouses from the Blazing Fire Palace taking action, why couldn’t they break the restrictions? Now it seems that it’s not that they couldn’t break them, but that they were blocked by the last layer.

Thinking about it this way, it makes some sense. His previous probing was not wrong, but with his strength he simply couldn’t detect the deeper restrictions.

If it weren’t for this vision appearing this time, with just him and Yang Kai even if they could break the first two layers of restrictions, they would still be blocked by the third layer of restrictions.

Thinking of this, Kang Siran’s heart was slightly more balanced.

Everyone should know what’s in the cave of Jing powerhouse. And judging from this vision, I, Zong dare to guarantee that there must be good things in this cave, and that thing is very likely to be a spiritual herb or wonder medicine that is about to mature!

The vision is very obvious. The colorful glow is jetting out and there is a tempting aroma under the spreading ripples. This kind of vision can’t be brought by a secret treasure. Only rare and precious spiritual herbs and wonderful medicines can produce it.

Hall Master Zong, I want to ask, if the prohibition is broken, how will the things inside be distributed? Your Blazing Fire Palace has a strong person sitting in town. If you really take action to snatch them, the rest of us won’t have a chance to fight back.” Among the crowd, a sharp voice suddenly came, erratic and unpredictable, making it impossible to figure out the source of the sound.

As soon as these words came out, everyone also fell silent, looking at Zong Qing with burning eyes. Obviously, everyone cared very much about this issue, which was also the concern of everyone.

Hearing this, Zong Qing didn’t have the slightest intention of being angry, but smiled and said: “Everyone’s concerns can be understood by me. However, I can guarantee that if you can really work together to break the prohibition, then the good things inside whoever gets them will be theirs. Brother Lian and I will definitely not take action against any of you.”

Lian Yuming had been standing aside silently, and now he also nodded.

“Vice Hall Master Zong, words alone are not enough. Just with your words, how can we all believe you? When the time comes, even if you and Vice Hall Master Lian really take action, can we still resist?” The sharp voice came out again.

Zong Qing smiled slightly, his gaze swept through the crowd, and quickly fixed on a thin and dry man. His deep eyes looked at him and said, “If this friend really doesn’t trust me and Brother Lian, then you can leave, and we will never force you.”
