Chapter 656

The three people advanced while releasing their spiritual consciousness to scout the surroundings in the wind and snow. After a while, the woman in thin clothes suddenly had a happy expression on her face and pointed in one direction and said, “There should be a spiritual herb over there！”

As she said this, she hurriedly led the other two people and rushed over.

Dozens of zhang away, after some efforts by the three people, they pushed aside the deep snow that was several feet thick. Under the snow, there was a crystal-clear plant growing. Under the sunlight, the stems and leaves refracted a blurred halo, like crystal, which was quite beautiful.

And at the top of the plant, there were several snow-white fruits the size of a fingernail growing. A faint fragrance was emitted from these fruits.

“Sister Ji is so powerful. You can find the white jade fruit even though it is hidden so deep.” The younger woman said excitedly, clapping her hands.

Ji Meng smiled and looked at Zhu Yingyue with doting eyes and comforted, “Pay more attention to observation, and you will also find it.”

Zhu Yingyue pouted： “I have worked very hard, but I can’t compare to you every time, and I can’t even compare to Senior Brother Qi.”

Qi Chao was suddenly a little unhappy when he heard this： “Am I very weak？”

Zhu Yingyue snorted： “Much worse than Sister Ji.”

Ji Meng patted her head： “I will share some with you when we go back. Don’t be discouraged.”

The latter nodded naively.

Qi Chao stepped forward and said, “Let’s pick it first. Be careful not to damage the root system. In a dozen years, it will bear white jade fruits again.”

Ji Meng nodded, stretched out her slender and delicate hand, and carefully picked those few fruits and put them into her Qiankun bag.

For spiritual herbs and medicines that can regenerate like this, martial artists generally will not damage their roots when collecting them. Draining the pond to catch the fish is not a good phenomenon, and it will also reduce the output of spiritual herbs and medicines between heaven and earth.

With the harvest, the three of them looked very happy. Suddenly, Qi Chao and Ji Meng frowned and looked in one direction, with thick vigilance emerging on their faces.

They felt that someone was approaching rapidly over there.

A moment later. A fuzzy figure appeared in the wind and snow. Soon that person came to a dozen zhang in front of the three people.

Yang Kai saw the expressions of the three people in his eyes and didn’t take it to heart. Suddenly encountering strangers in this wild and desolate place, no matter who it is, they will be vigilant.

Before coming, he also first determined that their cultivation bases were not enough to threaten himself before he would show up so generously.

If there were experts above the two-layer Transcendent Realm among the opponents, Yang Kai would have avoided them.

The three people on the other side were not very old, and they should not be difficult to talk to.

Yang Kai nodded slightly and show a friendly smile.

“Who are you？” Qi Chao stepped forward and blocked in front of Ji Meng and Zhu Yingyue, asking in a cold voice, “Why did you appear in this snow-capped mountain？”

“A passing traveler who got lost by accident.” Yang Kai’s expression was kind.

“Passing by?” Qi Chao frowned, looking Yang Kai up and down, a deep suspicion emerging on his face. “It’s not that simple, is it? You entered this snow-capped mountain. Do you have some other purpose?”

The other party’s expression was a bit unfriendly. This made Yang Kai confused and didn’t know where he had offended him. He could only explain, “I’m really just passing by. I noticed your aura and came over to take a look. There’s no other meaning. I just want to ask how to get out of here. I’ve been wandering in this snow-capped mountain for many days.”

While speaking, Yang Kai suddenly noticed the white jade fruit tree behind them. The crystal-clear appearance couldn’t help but make Yang Kai take a few more glances.

Qi Chao observed Yang Kai’s expression and was vigilant in his heart, staring deeply at Yang Kai. Yang Kai’s expression was calm and there was no discomfort at all.

He didn’t lie either. Although he was teleported out from within the Little Mysterious Realm, his current purpose was indeed only to explore a clear direction and leave this boundless snow-capped mountain first.

After a long while, Qi Chao converged his hostility and slowly nodded. “I’ll believe you for now. But this snow-capped mountain is not a place where outsiders can barge in at will. If you want to leave, just go in that direction.”

While speaking, he pointed in a direction.

Yang Kai turned his head to look, clasped his hands and said, “Thanks, see you later.”

As soon as the voice fell, he unfolded his movement technique and rushed towards that side.

“Wait！” Qi Chao coldly shouted again.

“What？” Yang Kai stopped his steps and frowned.

“You were in this snow mountain, didn’t you collect any spiritual herbs or wonderful medicines？ If you did, please hand them over. This is the territory of our Divine Cult, and everything here belongs to our Divine Cult. Outsiders can’t take away a single blade of grass or a single tree！”

Yang Kai couldn’t help but show some teasing expression on his face, and he was a little impatient in his heart. Not to mention that he didn’t collect anything, even if he really did, with the other party speaking to him in such a commanding tone, he couldn’t possibly hand it over. This continuous snow mountain doesn’t know how large the scope is, and a single force simply can’t completely occupy it.

Looking at the two women behind him, Yang Kai also didn’t bother to cause more trouble and said lightly： “No.”

The next moment, Yang Kai felt a strand of spiritual consciousness unscrupulously circulating on his body.

This person has such great courage？ Yang Kai couldn’t help but laugh dumbfoundedly. He wasn’t afraid that he would counterattack and severely wound him in an instant！

After thinking about it, Yang Kai didn’t make any extra movements and let him investigate.

Moments later, Qi Chao nodded in satisfaction： “You can leave now.”

Yang Kai didn’t say a word and turned around to rush into the wind and snow.

After he left, Zhu Yingyue asked in a soft voice, “Brother Qi, that side…”

“Shh！” Qi Chao raised a finger and slowly shook his head. Looking around, he led the two women towards another direction.

Zhu Yingyue looked suspicious and followed them, from time to time looking back at the direction where Yang Kai disappeared, with a look of reluctance and worry flashing in her eyes.

After walking for a full hour, Zhu Yingyue finally couldn’t help but ask again, “Brother Qi, why did you point him in the wrong direction？”

Ji Meng smiled and said, “I also want to know. What are you doing, Qi Chao？”

“That person is very suspicious. Didn’t you notice？” Qi Chao glanced at them and said firmly, “What he said can’t be trusted.”

Ji Meng was speechless and slowly shook her head. “Even if he is a bit suspicious, this is not the way to harm people. You are trying to kill him！ That side is the area where the monster beasts are active. How can he survive if he breaks in alone？”

“His life and death have nothing to do with us.” Qi Chao snorted coldly. “When traveling outside, one must always be on guard against others. His strength seems to be higher than ours. I’m just making plans for our safety.”

“How do you know？ I didn’t even notice.” Zhu Yingyue asked naively.

“Because he discovered us first.” Qi Chao seriously explained. “He is not a disciple of the Divine Sect. He came to this snow mountain either to collect medicinal materials or has other plans. Didn’t you notice that when he saw the white jade fruit tree, he showed a look of excitement？ If I don’t send him away, maybe he will kill people and seize treasures. It doesn’t matter if I die, but if the two of you fall into the hands of such a person, humph…”

Zhu Yingyue’s pretty face turned pale, and her delicate body trembled slightly. Recalling Yang Kai’s appearance again, she faintly felt that this person was really a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Ji Meng’s beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she pouted and said, “Why do you think of people so badly? What if, as he said, he is just a passerby who lost his way? Getting lost in this snow mountain is the most normal thing.”

“Then why don’t you go back and find him now and tell him that that way is a dead end.” Qi Chao snorted.

Ji Meng said angrily, “Where can I find him now？”

“When I was lying to him just now, didn’t you also not say a word? Why are you entangled with me now? He is just an outsider.” Qi Chao was also a little angry.

“I was worried that you were a fellow disciple and didn’t want you to lose face in front of outsiders！”

“You two don’t’t quarrel anymore.” Zhu Yingyue quickly dissuaded when she saw that the two were quarreling more and more fiercely.

“Fine, fine, fine. Just this once, no more next time. Really, a good person gets no good reward.” Qi Chao said disheartenedly, and as he spoke, he strode forward.

Ji Meng helplessly sighed, looked back, and his expression was hesitant. It took a long time before he shook his head and followed Qi Chao’s pace.

“Sister Ji, will he die？” Zhu Yingyue asked softly.

“Maybe.”

“Did Senior Brother Qi do something wrong？”

“No. He also has his own reasons.” Ji Meng smiled slightly, but that person released his spiritual sense before showing up and specifically informed the three of them. Obviously, he had no ill intentions at all.

If he really had ill intentions, then he could have hidden and launched a surprise attack.

Ji Meng couldn’t quite figure out why Qi Chao had pointed him in the wrong direction, making her feel so guilty towards this stranger now.

…………

Yang Kai’s face was gloomy, looking at the corpse of a seventh-order monster beast lying at his feet, breathing heavily.

His whole body was covered in blood. Just now, this battle was not easy.

A seventh-order monster beast is already equivalent to the cultivation level of a human Transcendent Realm. Fortunately, this seventh-order monster beast was not too difficult to deal with.

Following the guidance of that man in yellow, Yang Kai traveled all the way. In just three to five days, he actually encountered the attacks of seven or eight monster beasts.

All of these demonic beasts were killed by him without exception. If it were any other Divine Movement Realm peak cultivator fighting against the native ice-attribute beast in such a harsh environment they would probably have died countless times already.

Moreover, as time passed, Yang Kai noticed that the wind and snow in the vicinity were getting stronger and stronger, and he seemed to have come back again.

This discovery made his complexion very ugly.

Now that things have come to this, he also realized that he was probably deceived by that man.

Everyone met by chance. He just asked for directions and also showed his attitude of having no malicious intentions. After getting the answer, Yang Kai naturally didn’t suspect. Who would have known that that person was so hateful.

Taking out the inner core of the beast at his feet and breaking off its two horns, Yang Kai turned around his whole body was cold, and returned along the original path.

Climbing over the towering snow-capped mountains along the way and walking in the white world Yang Kai’s mood was very not good.

Three days later, Yang Kai suddenly stopped.

Listening carefully for a while and releasing his spiritual sense to investigate for a while, his expression suddenly became strange.

More than ten miles ahead, there were two familiar life auras, which were exactly two of the three people he had met before. However, at this moment, their mental states were a bit unstable, as if they were being chased by something, in a panic, and were fleeing towards the direction where he was.

Closely following behind them, Yang Kai also detected a powerful life fluctuation. That was the aura belonging to a Seventh-Order Monster Beast.

The world is really small！

Yang Kai revealed a strange smile and stopped in his tracks, quietly waiting.
