Chapter 2508

It was not until one and a half months ago that Gao Xueting suddenly told her that she had some clues, but needed to join hands with others to crack it. On that day, she left some cultivation resources and left Kunyuan City, and has since disappeared without a trace.

Seven days ago, Qingyang Pavilion was suddenly surrounded by the people of the City Lord’s Mansion Guards. Those Guards didn’t say what exactly Qingyang Pavilion had done wrong, but just surrounded it like this and didn’t allow anyone to enter it.

Saying this, Lu Wen was suddenly shocked and belatedly said： “Brother Yang, how did you get in？ Those people from the City Lord’s Mansion should still be outside.”

Yang Kai grinned and said： “If I want to come in, how can those scum stop me.” Pausing for a moment, he frowned and said： “Elder Gao left here one and a half months ago, saying that she was going to join hands with others to crack the secret of that animal skin, but seven days ago, this place was surrounded by the people of the City Lord’s Mansion for no reason…”

Lu Wen said worriedly, “So junior sister suspects that Elder Gao might have encountered some danger. The reason why the Qingyang Pavilion is surrounded is to prevent me from sending out any news. After all, Elder Gao didn’t hide her when she came in and out of the Qingyang Pavilion a few days ago and it’s easy to find out that she has a relationship with the Qingyang Pavilion.”

Yang Kai nodded and said, “You’re right. If that’s really the case… then the Kunyuan City must be involved.”

Lu Wen said dejected “Junior sister really has no other choice. She can only use her token to send a message and treat a dead horse as a living horse. Unexpectedly, she really called Senior Brother Yang.”

Yang Kai said, “I just happened to pass by here because of something.”

If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s coincidence to pass by the Kunyuan City, I’m afraid no matter how much Lu Wen sent a message, she wouldn’t be able to call any of her fellow disciples. After all, this is the Eastern Region, which is extremely far from the Qingyang Temple, and the people in the temple wouldn’t come here for no reason.”

Although Gao Xueting’s temperament is cold, she has always been good to Yang Kai. The Qingyang Gold Token was even handed over to Yang Kai by herself. She also had the idea of accepting Yang Kai as a disciple and teaching him to practice well.”

Now that Gao Xueting may have an accident, Yang Kai of course can’t stand by and do nothing.”

Of course, this is just a guess. It may also be a misunderstanding, but the people in the city lord’s mansion surrounded the Qingyang Pavilion, which is a bit like the meaning of ‘no silver three hundred taels here’. If it weren’t for Gao Xueting, why would they surround this place for no reason？”

“Judging from this, the City Lord’s Mansion must have a great deal to do with this matter.” Yang Kai pondered for a moment, and his thoughts gradually became smoother.

Lu Wen said, “Junior Sister also guessed like this. Before, Elder Gao said that she wanted to find someone to join hands to crack the secret on that animal skin And in Kunyuan City only City Lord Zu Hong is a First-Order Emperor Venerable. If Elder Gao is looking for someone to join hands, Zu Hong is the only choice.”

“Oh？” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and grinned, “Since there is a suspected target, it will be much easier.”

“What are you going to do, Senior Brother Yang？” Lu Wen saw his strange smile and suddenly had a bad feeling.

“What else can I do? Naturally, I will ask him face to face.” Yang Kai snorted softly.

Lu Wen was shocked and said, “Senior Brother, don’t be impulsive. That Zu Hong is a First-Order Emperor Venerable powerhouse. He has been promoted for more than forty years and is extremely powerful. He also has an Emperor Treasure to rely on. Although Senior Brother is an elite disciple of the Divine Temple, I’m afraid it’s still…”

She didn’t continue, but the meaning was extremely obvious.

She felt that Yang Kai was no match for Zu Hong.

Yang Kai smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Junior Sister Lu. A mere Zu Hong, Senior Brother may not necessarily take him seriously.” After a pause, he ordered Zhang Ruoxi, “Later, you take Junior Sister Lu and leave Kunyuan City from the back door and wait for me outside the city. Since this kind of thing has happened here, there is no need to stay any longer. Junior Sister Lu should return to the Divine Temple as soon as possible.”

“Yes, sir！” Zhang Ruoxi’s expression turned solemn.

Yang Kai then flickered and suddenly disappeared.

“This…” Lu Wen had a dumbfounded look on her face, both shocked and anxious. She had clearly made it very clear to this Senior Brother Yang that Zu Hong was a strong Emperor Respect Jing expert. Why was he still so hot-blooded and impulsive？

Zhang Ruoxi smiled slightly and said, “This elder sister doesn’t need to worry about my sir. People like Zu Hong are simply no match for him.”

“Sir？” Lu Wen looked at Zhang Ruoxi in surprise and said, “Isn’t younger sister a disciple of the Divine Temple？”

Zhang Ruoxi shook her head and said, “I’m just from a small family. by his side to be taught and cultivated, I have achieved what I have today.

“Ah！” Lu Wen was greatly shocked.

She could sense that Zhang Ruoxi’s cultivation was higher than hers. She herself was at the 2nd Layer of Dao Source Jing , and since Zhang Ruoxi was stronger than her, that meant she was at the 3rd Layer of Dao Source Jing . But such a strong expert was actually only taught by Senior Brother Yang？ This was no worse than the elite disciples of those great sects at all.

“Yang, Senior Brother Yang, what is his cultivation？” Lu Wen asked in surprise.

Zhang Ruoxi pursed her lips and smiled, with a sense of pride and honor, and said lightly, “Sir is already an Emperor Respect.”

Lu Wen was completely shocked. The long haze eyes gradually shone with bright light and the darkness and anxiety in front of her disappeared in an instant.

……

Outside Qingyang Pavilion, at the teahouse, that Lord Jia’s pair of eyes like a hawk stared fixedly at the entrance of Qingyang Pavilion, and unconsciously picked up the teacup and sent it to his mouth.

He didn’t know what the background of the man and woman who had entered Qingyang Pavilion earlier was. Sending his subordinates to investigate also couldn’t find out anything. It seemed that they had just entered the city today, which made Lord Jia couldn’t help but become vigilant, for fear that that pair of man and woman was really related to the matter that the city lord had instructed.

He didn’t dare to let go of any detail, and all his mind was immersed in the direction of Qingyang Pavilion.

Suddenly, an extremely uneasy feeling rose in his heart, as if some danger was approaching, making his heart jump wildly.

Before Lord Jia could react, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed that a person strangely appeared.

He quickly turned his head to look, widened his eyes, and saw that the previous youth was sitting on the chair opposite him, looking at him with a smile.

Pfft…

Yang Kai casually waved his hand, and that tea mist changed direction and directly sprayed Lord Jia himself all over his head and face.

He stood up in a flurry, wiped his face randomly, and stared at Yang Kai extremely vigilantly, his mind shocked.

With his cultivation level, he didn’t even notice how this young man appeared in front of him. If the other party wanted to do harm to him, wouldn’t it be easy to take his life with just a flick of the hand？

With this thought in mind, Lord Jia broke out in a cold sweat.

“Sit down！” Yang Kai looked at him with a smile, but that gaze was like a poisonous snake, making Lord Jia tremble with fear.

The latter hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and sat back down. His expression was extremely difficult, as if there were countless thorns under his buttocks.

“What’s your name？” Yang Kai asked.

“Jias！”

“Nice to meet you！” Yang Kai perfunctorily said, and then his eyes suddenly shot out a cold light, and said, “Lord Jia should know why this young master has come to see you, right？”

Jias wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced a smile, saying, “This young master is joking. Jia is here, cooking wine and discussing tea, leisurely and comfortable. I don’t know this young master…”

His words suddenly stopped, and his eyes burning looked at a shield secret treasure the size of a palm in Yang Kai’s hand exclaiming in a low voice, “This shield…”

Jias’ eyesight was naturally not bad. He immediately saw that the shield in Yang Kai’s hand was of a high grade. It seemed to be a top-grade Dao Source-level secret treasure, and it was also a defensive secret treasure, which could be said to be of extremely high value.

Even though he had the cultivation level of the Third Layer of Dao Source Realm, he couldn’t help but breathe a little urgent.

Crackling…

Yang Kai reached out and pinched it, and that shield was like a rock that had been eroded by wind and rain for thousands of years. It directly turned into powder, slipped from his fingertips, and scattered all over the ground.

“What shield？” Yang Kai looked at him coldly. “We were talking well, what are you mentioning the shield for？”

Jias was sweating profusely and his whole body was trembling. He nervously said, “It’s nothing, nothing.”

Yang Kai snorted and said, “It seems that Lord Jia is a smart person. It shouldn’t be too tiring to communicate. This young master has a few questions and wants to ask Lord Jia to solve the doubts.”

Jias quickly said, “This young master can ask whatever he wants. Although Jia is not talented, he has lived here for many years and is very familiar with this Kunyuan City.”

“Very good！” Yang Kai nodded in satisfaction. His gaze turned cold and he said in a deep voice, “Who asked you to monitor the Qingyang Pavilion here？”

Jias said with difficulty, “It’s… the City Lord！”

“What did Zu Hong ask you to monitor the Qingyang Pavilion for？”

Jias said, “The City Lord just said that if any suspicious person enters or exits the Qingyang Pavilion, he should be arrested immediately and must not be allowed to leave Kunyuan City.”

Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and snorted, “The City Lord has such great prestige.”

Jias was startled and quickly said, “Jia is also acting according to orders. This young master, please calm your anger.”

Yang Kai said, “Then do you know which force this Qingyang Pavilion belongs to？”

Jia Si said, “I didn’t know before. A few days ago, the city lord asked me to inquire about the details of Qingyang Pavilion, and then I found out that it is a shop opened here by the disciples of Qingyang Temple in the Southern Territory.”

“You’ve found this out. Lord Jia is amazing.” Yang Kai sneered in a sarcastic tone.

Jia Si trembled violently and said with a mournful face, “This is also following orders…”

Yang Kai interrupted him and said in a deep voice, “Then have you seen such a woman in the city lord’s mansion！”

As he spoke, Yang Kai raised his hand, and the Emperor Yuan in his body surged, condensing the image of Gao Xueting in front of Jia Si.

Jia Si took a look and shook his head blankly, saying, “I haven’t seen her, but I heard from my subordinates that this woman often entered and exited Qingyang Pavilion a few days ago. I also followed her clues to find out about Qingyang Pavilion.”

Yang Kai frowned and said, “Haven’t seen her？”

According to his and Lu Wen’s guess, Gao Xueting should have teamed up with Zu Hong to crack the secret on the animal skin. Logically speaking, she should have entered and exited the city lord’s mansion. Since Jia Si is Zu Hong’s confidant, there is no reason why he hasn’t seen her.

But looking at Jia Si’s expression, he didn’t seem to be lying.

Could it be that Gao Xueting really didn’t look for Zu Hong？ Then who is the person she wants to team up with？

Does the city lord’s mansion have anything to do with this matter? If it wasn’t because of Gao Xueting, why would they monitor and surround Qingyang Pavilion?

Yang Kai was completely puzzled.
