Chapter 2529

The cultivation levels of these five or six people in the cave also varied, ranging from the First-Order Dao Source Realm to the Third-Order Dao Source Realm. With a single glance, Yang Kai saw that there was no Emperor Senior, so he didn’t pay much attention.

And these people also took a look at him after Yang Kai entered. Other than a flash of light in their eyes when they saw Zhang Ruoxi, there was no significant reaction.

“Little brother and little sister, come this way, there is still a place here！” Old Ban greeted and led Yang Kai and Zhang Ruoxi towards the right side of the cave.

There was still a little empty space over there, and the three of them sat cross-legged in turn, waiting quietly for the wind howl to leave.

The other people in the cave also seemed to be acting alone, and everyone was silent as gold. Therefore, for a while, the entire cave was a silence, and only the sound of the wind was constantly coming making people feel as if they had entered the coldest days of winter.

After waiting for a while, the wind grew stronger, and several more people rushed in from the outside with dusty faces, occupying all the remaining positions.

This cave was indeed not big and could only accommodate a dozen people to take refuge. If there were more, it would be impossible. The few martial artists who came later were all standing on the edge of the cave, looking nervous, for fear that the astral wind would blow in. If such a situation really occurred, they would surely be the first to suffer.

“Old Ban, how long will this wind howl last？” Yang Kai observed for a long time and found that the wind outside was constantly increasing and there was no sign of stopping, so he inquired of Old Ban.

Old Ban replied, “It’s hard to say. It may last for five or six days at most, or half a day at least. The rise and fall of the wind howl has no pattern but there must be a wind howl after the thunder tide. Little brother, when you return from the ancient land in the future, you must remember this clearly.”

Yang Kai nodded and said, “Thank you for the reminder, Old Ban.”

Old Ban smiled and said, “However, little brother doesn’t actually need to worry too much. Although the wind howl is terrifying, as long as one can find these caves to take refuge before it comes, one can rest easy.”

Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and said, “Listening to the meaning in Old Ban’s words, there are more than one such caves in the passage？”

Old Ban nodded and said, “Naturally, there are more than one. The entire ancient land passage is flanked by mountains on both sides, with a canyon of about less than a hundred miles in the middle. There are caves near the mountain walls on both sides. Although the old man hasn’t calculated carefully, there are always ten or so. And these caves seem to be naturally formed. Affected by the special environment here, they are extremely hard. Ordinary attacks simply can’t break them open, nor can they be enlarged. So if you want to find a place to take refuge, you have to hurry. Once it’s too late, there will be no more positions. We are quite lucky this time. Every year, countless warriors die in the passage because they can’t find a place to avoid the wind. Even if they are lucky enough to find one, it’s too late in terms of time.”

When Zhang Ruoxi heard this, she couldn’t help but stick out her tongue and said, “No wonder when I came in here, I found so many skeletons at the entrance of the cave.”

Old Ban sneered and said, “These skeletons didn’t all die because of the strong wind. The vast majority died at the hands of others.”

Zhang Ruoxi frowned and didn’t quite understand what Old Ban meant. But Old Ban said, “Wait a moment, and the young lady will know what the old man means.”

Zhang Ruoxi looked suspicious, but didn’t ask any more questions.

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly shot over from the outside and directly charged towards the interior of the cave, looking menacing and impatient.

But before this person could get close, a thin warrior standing at the edge of the cave entrance sank his face and suddenly raised his hand to strike out a palm towards the front.

The newcomer was not to be outdone and also greeted with a palm.

After a booming sound, both of the two who fought had their figures slightly move, seemingly evenly matched.

The next moment. A embarrassed figure landed at the entrance of the cave looking at the person who blocked him from entering the cave with venomous and eager eyes.

The thin warrior snorted coldly and said unhappily, “There is no more room here. Friend, go to other places.”

“There is no other place anymore！” The newcomer gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice. He had rushed all the way here. It seemed that he had suffered a great loss in the wind howl. The light on his body was also flickering uncertainly, obviously consuming a lot. At this moment, he was blocked again and looked furious.

But the person who just blocked him had not weak strength. If they really fought, it was really uncertain who would win and who would lose. Now the most urgent thing was to find a place to avoid the wind. Naturally, he had no mood to fight with the thin warrior again.

His gaze crossed over the thin warrior and several others standing at the edge of the cave entrance and swept towards the interior, suddenly freezing on Old Ban.

Elder Ban is only at the first level of the Dao Source Realm. Among the people in this cave, he is the weakest. If he wants to snatch a place to take shelter from the wind, Elder Ban is undoubtedly the best target to start with.

Since there is no place, then just snatch one.

However, before he could open his mouth to drive Elder Ban out, he suddenly frowned and his gaze swept over Yang Kai with some scruples.

Although Yang Kai was just sitting cross-legged there and did not release his own aura, he was a Great Emperor Realm cultivator after all. That person simply could not see through his cultivation. Moreover, Yang Kai was sitting together with Elder Ban and was obviously a companion. No matter what Yang Kai’s cultivation was exactly, he did not want to fight outnumbered.

Just after a slight hesitation, that person’s gaze moved away from Elder Ban. He stretched out his hand and pointed, Youdaoplaceholder0 in his mouth, “That brat over there, get out here for me. Your place is wanted by this grandpa.”

In the direction he pointed, there was a young man in his early thirties who was hiding in the shadows and had been shrinking his body all the time, as if he did not want anyone to notice his existence.

And his cultivation was the same as Elder Ban’s, also only at the first level of the Dao Source Realm.

Hearing this person’s shout, that young man shrank his body even tighter and pretended not to hear.

That person sneered and said, “I’ll give you three breaths of time. If you don’t get out here by yourself, this grandpa will take action. At that time, whether you live or die depends on your own good fortune.

Seeing that he couldn’t avoid it, the young man finally raised his head and said with a wronged expression, “Why me? Why is it me!

He was the first to come to this cave after the thunderstorm and was also hiding in the deepest part. Unexpectedly, he was immediately picked out by someone.

The strength of the person who came was two small levels higher than his. If he really used force against him, he simply had no power to resist.

But at this moment, the wind howl was about to come. His position had been occupied and there was no place to avoid the wind. If he went out, he would surely die.

So although he was angry, he was helpless.

Hearing this, the person standing at the entrance of the cave sneered and said, “If your strength is low, don’t think about entering the ancient land. Since you have come, you have to be prepared to fall at any time. Get out！”

“I won’t go out. If I go out, it’s a dead end. Don’t force me. If you push me too hard, I, I will self-destruct here and make you all feel bad！”

As soon as these words came out, the complexions of many people sank. Obviously, they were very dissatisfied with the youth’s statement. However, those with slightly higher strength didn’t care at all. After all, a person at the first level of the Dao Source Realm, even if he had the intention to self-destruct, he had to have the opportunity to do so.

Among the dozen or so people present, at least half of them could take action to subdue him before he self-destructed.

“Hahaha！” The person at the entrance of the cave laughed loudly and looked at the youth playfully and said, “If you want to self-destruct, then self-destruct. Let’s see if you can blow it up！”

With a look of being fearless, he made the young man greatly panicked. Since the threat didn’t work, he could only look around pleadingly and beg, “Dear sirs, help me. I don’t want to go out and die. Dear sirs, be kind and speak up for justice.”

While speaking, he kept cupping his hands, almost kneeling down to ask for help.

But he and the others had never met before, and who would bother with his business at this time? So no one paid attention to his words.

It was Zhang Ruoxi who showed a look of not willing to bear on her face. But after looking at Yang Kai and seeing that he had no reaction she could only grit her teeth and remain silent.

The person at the cave entrance showed a hint of impatience on his face and shouted angrily, “You don’t cherish the opportunity given to you. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for using force！”

When the words fell, he reached out and grabbed at the young man.

Although the cave was small and there were quite a few people crowded inside, this person had the cultivation base of the third level of the Origin Realm. So his move was extremely precise and didn’t touch the others. Judging from his actions, he should only want to catch the young man inside to make room.

The young man was immediately dumbfounded. Facing the attack of a person at the third level of the Origin Realm, he had no way to defend. The self-destruction he said just now, he also didn’t have the courage to carry out. He just stood there blankly, waiting for the coming of bad luck.

Just at this moment, a ray of faint light flashed, and source power burst out. Accompanied by a soft ‘poof’ sound, the person at the cave entrance suddenly swayed and involuntarily fell back a few steps.

After regaining his footing, this person flew into a rage and shouted loudly： ‘Who！ Who is meddling in my business！’

Obviously, someone had just intervened to block his attack, and the cultivation base of the person who made the move was not low. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have suffered a dull loss like this.

His gaze rotated for a circle and quickly locked onto Zhang Ruoxi. His expression changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said： ‘It’s you！’

That’s right, it’s me！’ Zhang Ruoxi readily admitted.

The person’s complexion couldn’t help but look a bit ugly, and he stared at Zhang Ruoxi with a gloomy and uncertain gaze.

If it were just Zhang Ruoxi alone, he wouldn’t be too afraid. But the key was that Yang Kai was clearly with Zhang Ruoxi. Once he fought with Zhang Ruoxi, Yang Kai naturally wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. At that time, if he fought two against one, how could he have any good results.

So after just a slight hesitation, he clasped his fists and said： ‘Girl, the Wind Howl is about to strike. I just want to find a place to avoid the limelight and have no other intentions. If the girl can make an exception and accommodate me, I will definitely have a generous reward. But if the girl wants to meddle in other people’s business, then I will have to ask for your advice. Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.’

Although he was saying these words to Zhang Ruoxi, he had been constantly observing the change in Yang Kai’s expression.

To his disappointment, Yang Kai had been sitting there the whole time without the slightest reaction, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all. This made it really hard for him to figure out whether Zhang Ruoxi and Yang Kai were in cahoots or not.

“Of course you can find a place to lie low, but there must always be a first-come, first-served principle. There are no more seats here. How can you drive others away? Is your life the only life that matters, and other people’s lives don’t?” Zhang Ruoxi glared at that person angrily. In the past, the Zhang Family was bullied because they were weak, so she really couldn’t stand this kind of thing where the strong bullied the weak. She had held it in for a while, but still couldn’t help but intervene.
