Chapter 669
byAt a position approximately a hundred zhang away from the Wind Eye, Duan Hai halted his steps. He looked at Yang Kai with a regretful expression and was about to open his mouth to say something when Yang Kai suddenly said with a venomous expression, “If I can turn the corner this time, then you all in Thunder Light wait to be retaliated by me！”
Duan Hai’s expression turned cold. Without any further hesitation, he casually threw Yang Kai into the huge Wind Eye.
I don’t know if it was an illusion. In the moment before Yang Kai’s figure disappeared into the Wind Eye, he seemed to see the other party reveals a cunning smile.
Xu Qi chased after him and looked excitedly at the Wind Eye, with an expectant expression on his face.
“Senior Brother, are you a bit worried？” Xu Qi suddenly asked.
“Hmm.” Duan Hai nodded slightly. “I’m still a bit concerned about what Elder Du said to me before…”
“He shouldn’t have any background. It’s already reached this point. If he really had a background, he would definitely report it. He’s not stupid. Elder Du should have made a mistake.” Xu Qi comforted.
“That’s right.” Duan Hai smiled slightly. “However, it’s true that we’ve destroyed a rare talent. We should carefully consider how to explain it to Elder Du.”
“If he really asks, just say that he’s in seclusion. I think a person of Elder Du’s status wouldn’t come to our Thunder Light to ask for someone in person. After a few years, when the wind has passed, I think Elder Du will also forget about this person.
“That’s also a way.” Duan Hai slightly sighed. “Let’s wait for a few days. This kid’s soul is extremely strong. In my opinion, it’s not inferior to that of an ordinary Transcendent Realm. Even in the eye of the storm, he should be able to hold on for a few days. After his soul is blown out, we’ll collect it and spy on the secrets he’s hiding.
“All listen to Senior Brother.” Xu Qi said excitedly.
The two stopped in place. They had only waited for less than an hour when Duan Hai suddenly frowned and turned to look not far away, coldly saying, “Why are there disciples coming?
Xu Qi also had an unhappy expression： “I’ve clearly ordered that this place is temporarily closed and no one is allowed to barge in without permission. Is this disciple deaf or blind？”
Saying this, he said impatiently, “I’ll go and take a look.”
Duan Hai nodded slightly.
Xu Qi unfolded his posture and flew away. After a while, he returned with a strange expression and said to Duan Hai “Senior Brother. The Sect Leader has an order for you to go over. That disciple is here to deliver the message.”
“The Sect Leader？” Duan Hai was startled when he heard this. He quickly adjusted his expression and said in a hurry, “Then I’ll go and take a look. You stay here and wait.”
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. I will keep a close watch.”
Duan Hai immediately left. When he arrived beside the disciple who delivered the message, he wrapped him up and flew towards a mountain peak of the Thunderbolt God Sect. That was the place where the Sect Leader usually rested. It was very quiet and rich in spiritual energy, and it was the best mountain peak in the Thunderbolt God Sect.
“Did the Sect Leader say what it is for asking me to go over？” During the flight, Duan Hai asked the disciple.
“The disciple doesn’t know. The Sect Leader only said to ask the Great Elder to go over as soon as possible and not to delay.” The disciple replied respectfully.
“Could it be that the Sect Leader has advanced to the Saint Realm？” Duan Hai suddenly thought of a possibility and asked excitedly.
“No, the disciple didn’t feel the movement that should have occurred when the Sect Leader advanced.”
Duan Hai couldn’t help but be a little suspicious and puzzled. He didn’t know what urgent matter the Sect Leader had to summon him at this critical moment.
Xia Chengyin, the leader of the Thunderbolt God Sect, is a powerhouse at the third level of the Transcendent Realm. However, he has been stuck at his own bottleneck for over a hundred years and has been unable to understand the mystery of entering the Saint Realm. In the past ten-odd years, he has also been in seclusion and cultivation. Usually, he would not see Duan Hai even for several months or half a year. This time, however, he summoned Duan Hai in a hurry.
Could it be because of that kid’s matter？
Duan Hai’s heart skipped a beat. Then he felt that he was being overly worried and ridiculous. He shook his head with a sneer and stopped asking more questions. He just led that disciple and flew rapidly.
The Thunderbolt God Sect, on a mountain peak where the spiritual energy is much stronger than that of other mountain peaks. There is only one solitary palace standing there. This palace is built resplendently and magnificently, quite imposing.
It is precisely the residence of Xia Chengyin, the leader of the Thunderbolt God Sect.
At this moment, Xia Chengyin is sitting upright in the first place, with a happy smile on his face, warmly greeting the two people on the lower side. Even though he was disturbed by them during his seclusion, Xia Chengyin doesn’t dare to have the slightest bit of displeasure. Instead, he treats them with courtesy and is very polite.
He orders people to serve fruit platters and fine wine. After eating and drinking for a while, Xia Chengyin then asks, “Du Lao and Brother Cang Yan come together, which really makes my humble place shine.”
“Master Xia is too kind. It’s really a bit embarrassing for me to disturb your cultivation.” Du Wan seemed to have a lot on his mind. a forced smile upon hearing this, and reached out to pick up a spiritual fruit in the front of him and threw it to Mina who was standing behind him.
Mina also came with Old Du this time. She was looking around furtively, as if waiting for someone.
Xia Chengyin observed their expressions and was also full of doubts. He didn’t know why Old Du would come together with Cang Yan of Tianxiao Sect. Concealing his thoughts, he laughed heartily and said, “What Old Du said is too much. If Old Du wants to come to my Thunder Light, he can come at any time. Don’t say I’m cultivating. Even if I’m dead, I will climb out of the coffin and welcome you！”
Du Wan forced a smile and didn’t say anything more. With his identity as a saint-level alchemist he really didn’t need to exchange more pleasantries with Xia Chengyin.
Although he was the master of Thunder Light, the Transcendent Third Realm was still a bit unqualified in front of Old Du.
Xia Chengyin looked at Cang Yan who had a serious expression again and felt a headache.
Although Old Du had a respected identity and ordinary people couldn’t’t see him at all, his temperament was kind and he wasn’t too difficult to deal with. But this madman from Tianxiao Sect was not in the same way as Old Du. Xia Chengyin couldn’t figure out how he came to Thunder Light.
Could it be that someone in the sect offended him？ If that’s really the case, perhaps he will turn Lei Guang upside down.
The four madmen of Tian Xiao Sect, each has the strength of the Transcendent Third Realm, equivalent to his Xia Chengyin’s strength, and there is even a Saint Realm ancestor. It can be said that even on the Tongxuan Continent, Tian Xiao Sect is a big power, far from what Lei Guang can compare to.
If you offend such a power, the only end for Lei Guang is to be wiped out！
In a one-on-one fight, Xia Chengyin doesn’t dare to guarantee that he can defeat Cang Yan.
Coughing lightly, Xia Chengyin asked, “Brother Cang Yan, recently no one in my divine sect has offended you with their lack of eyesight, right？”
No.” Cang Yan was stingy with words and his expression was wooden.”
Then why did Brother Cang Yan…” Xia Chengyin frowned slightly and turned his gaze to Elder Du, with a questioning look on his face.
Elder Du laughed dryly： “One doesn’t visit the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. This time, I came together with Cang Yan. There are indeed some important matters.”
Elder Du might as well speak clearly！” Xia Chengyin corrected his expression.
We came to find someone.
Find someone？
Yes, to find a Spiritual Level alchemist. Elder Duan Hai of your sect should know where he is. It was Elder Duan Hai who took him away from my Alchemist Association two months ago and hired him to be a guest elder of your Lei Guang.
“So that’s the case.” Xia Chengyin suddenly understood. No wonder they asked to see Duan Hai as soon as they arrived here, which made Xia Chengyin extremely nervous. After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Xia Chengyin couldn’t help but relax a lot and smiled, “Such a small matter should have been said earlier. Since he is a guest elder of our Divine Sect, then Duan Hai will definitely treat him with courtesy and take good care of him, and will never neglect him.”
“Preferably so. I’ve been looking for him for almost two months.” Hearing this, Cang Yan nodded in satisfaction.
In these two months, Cang Yan had been in Jushi City, Youdaoplaceholder0 on the vague image that the patriarch had imprinted in his mind to search for traces of Yang Kai’s but had never found it. Finally, by coincidence, he inquired at the Alchemist Association and only then understood that Yang Kai was no longer in Jushi City.
Cang Yan was full of anger. The patriarch had asked him to do such a small thing but he had spent two months and still hadn’t done it properly. Immediately, he blamed Lei Guang, who had taken Yang Kai away. Although he didn’t say it on his lips, the cold look in his eyes revealed a sense of dissatisfaction.
“Tianxiao Sect has a profound heritage. Why would it still lack a spiritual-level alchemist？ Brother Cang Yan, if you come here to snatch people from me, this Sect Master will not agree.” Xia Chengyin smiled and shook his head. There was no malice in these words, but only to show his attitude.
Hearing this, Cang Yan said coolly, “It’s not that I want to snatch people from you, it’s that my master wants to see him!”
Xia Chengyin was suddenly at a loss for words.
Du Wan shook his head and sighed beside him, feeling extremely annoyed.
Although he had long guessed that Yang Kai had a very powerful backer, he never expected that even the one from Tianxiao Sect would pay attention to him. When Cang Yan found the Alchemist Association, Old Du wished he could find a hole to go in. (Here, the original text “going in” is a colloquial expression and can be translated as “drill” or “get into”
If he had known earlier that Yang Kai had a relationship with Tianxiao Sect, how could he have recommended the other party to enter Leiguang Divine Cult.
This matter was really handled stupidly.
It seems that the one from Tianxiao Sect and the master behind this kid should have some origin. Knowing that he is experiencing the world, they want to take care of him a little. Old Du thought in his heart and felt that this was very likely the case. (Here, “dark” can be translated as “secretly” or “inwardly”)
Haven’t come yet. Why is it so slow?” Mina finished eating that spiritual fruit, stared outside the door, and muttered somewhat dissatisfied.”
Xia Chengyin chuckled: “Little girl, don’t be impatient. Duan Hai should be coming soon.”
Who wants to see any Duan Hai? I want to see Yang Kai. That bastard was so cruel to leave me alone in the Alchemist Association. This time, I must teach him a good lesson! Mina said said fuming. (Here, “fuming” can be translated as “said angrily” or “said with a huff”)
Xia Chengyin was very embarrassed for a while.
Don’t be rude! Old Du saw Xia Chengyin’s embarrassment and lightly scolded. Mina pouted. (Here, “pouted” can be translated as “pouted”)
Just at this time, a breath approached rapidly from a distance.
Here comes！” Xia Chengyin smiled slightly.”
Not long after, the voice of Duan Hai came from outside the door： “Sect Master, Duan Hai has come as ordered.”
“Come in.” Xia Chengyin shouted loudly.
Duan Hai responded and stepped in. When he entered the main hall and was about to salute he suddenly saw Cang Yan and Du Wan sitting on the lower side.
Duan Hai’s heart panicked, and he wished he could turn around and leave.
Cang Yan’s appearance here was already very unusual. As one of the four madmen of Tianxiao Sect, Duan Hai knew somewhat about his cruel methods and powerful cultivation. He had always stayed away from this person with respect.
And Du Lao’s appearance here surprised him even more.
Du Wan was a Saint-level alchemist. In the past ten-odd years, he had always been sitting in Jushi City and had never left the Alchemist Association for a step. Each of the four major nearby forces had warmly invited him, wanting to ask him to come to their own forces to teach those alchemists some experience. But except for Tianxiao Sect succeeding twice, whether it was Luo Shengmen or Gu Yue Cave Heaven, or even Lei Guang, none of them had ever been able to invite him.
