Chapter 840

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

During this period of time, Yang Kai had been staying in the Alchemist Association, teaching Wu’er and Mina while also improving his own alchemy skills. His days were relatively leisurely.

Yang Kai saw Wu’er’s growth in his eyes and spared no effort in cultivating her. He still liked this strange and witty little girl who could understand things with just a little hint.

One day, while Yang Kai was busy in the alchemy workshop, he suddenly noticed some movement. He stopped what he was doing and looked over, only to find that Old Du walked in with a worried expression on his face.

The three of them quickly saluted.

Old Du waved his hand and said, “I’m here to tell you that if you have nothing to do in the near future, don’t go outside.”

“What’s wrong？” Mina asked suspiciously.

“It’s not very peaceful outside now…” Old Du’s expression was solemn. “Going out might cause some trouble.”

“What kind of trouble will there be？” Mina looked puzzled.

Yang Kai furrowed his brows and suddenly said, “It has something to do with the outsiders who have flooded into Boulder City during this period of time, right？”

Du Wan looked at Yang Kai in surprise and smiled, “That’s right. It seems you’ve also noticed. Since a few months ago, there have been quite a number of outsiders lingering here in Boulder City. It seems they are inquiring for something. And the number of people has been increasing during this period.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly.

Although he had been staying in the Alchemist Association and hadn’t gone out, the changes in Boulder City couldn’t escape his spiritual sense detection.

All kinds of outsiders were in a hurry. From time to time, they would come to Boulder City to purchase some living materials or cultivation materials and then leave in a hurry. All these seemed very abnormal.

Especially recently, more and more outsiders came, using Boulder City as a transfer station, staying for a while and then leaving one after another.

It seemed they were going into the Endless Snow Mountains.

Thinking of this, Yang Kai couldn’t help but frown and asked, “Old Du, have you heard any definite news？”

Du Wan nodded slightly and said, “A little. Today, Ran Jing from Ancient Moon Cave Heaven and Mao Da from Luo Shengmen came to see me and asked me to help refine a few Poison-Repelling Pills. I just casually asked. According to the two of them, they are going deep into the snow mountains to look for something and refine the Poison-Repelling Pills in case of unexpected situations… Hmm, I guess the thing they are looking for is related to poison.

The Poison-Repelling Pill, after taking it, can resist the invasion of toxins. Especially the Poison-Repelling Pills refined by a master like Du Wan can basically ignore the poisons in the world. Although they are not cheap, they are worth the price.

As for Ran Jing of the Ancient Moon Cave Heaven and Mao Da of the Luo Sheng Sect, Yang Kai has also heard of their names.

Centered on the Giant Stone City, there are four fairly good forces nearby.

The Tianxiao Sect, the Thunder God Religion, the Ancient Moon Cave Heaven, and the Luo Sheng Sect.

Yang Kai also went to the Thunder God Religion to serve as a guest elder.

When Yang Kai first came to the Giant Stone City, Du Wan explained the advantages and disadvantages of these four forces to him. Among them, the Tianxiao Sect was the strongest, and the remaining three forces were almost the same. There was no Saint Realm powerhouse sitting in town. Ran Jing and Mao Da had the same strength as the deceased leader Xia Chengyin of the Thunder God Religion, both at the level of the Third Layer of Transcendence.

Not only a large number of outsiders have poured into the snow-capped mountains, but also the nearby Ancient Moon Cave Heaven and Luo Sheng Sect have been involved.

After hearing Du Wan’s words, Yang Kai suddenly realized something. His face changed, and his tidal divine thoughts frantically spread outwards, turning into a silk thread and directly spreading thousands of miles away.

After a long time, his expression shook, and he suddenly retracted his divine thoughts, with a solemn gaze.

“Elder Du, I’m going out for a while！” Yang Kai suddenly said in a deep voice.

“Huh?” Du Wan was shocked. Just now he had specifically come to tell them not to run outside during this period of time if there was nothing to do. Unexpectedly, Yang Kai actually took the initiative to go out. After thinking about it, he asked in a deep voice, “Could the intentions of these outsiders have something to do with you?”

Yang Kai smiled wryly and said, “I hope it has nothing to do with me, but looking at this situation it seems to have something to do with me.”

Du Wan was confused and stared blankly at Yang Kai. It was a long while before he warned “Then you must pay attention to safety. It would be best to go back to Tianxiao Sect first and discuss it with your four uncles. With them protecting you, there shouldn’t be any problems.”

“En, I’ll see what to do.” Yang Kai casually perfunctorily replied and hurriedly rushed out.

After he left, Du Wan slowly shook his head and helplessly said, “I should have known better than to talk too much…”

Mina’s eyebrow was knitted into a line and she said, “Du Lao, what exactly happened this time? And what does it have to do with Yang Kai?

“I don’t know… I hope he’ll be safe and sound. “Du Wan was a bit annoyed. If he had known this earlier, he should have found out more about the matter from Ran Jing and Mao Da. Since they took action, they must know some inside information.”

……

After leaving the Alchemist Association, Yang Kai’s figure was like lightning. He didn’t fly towards Tianxiao Sect but directly towards the endless snow-capped mountains.

Based on the news he heard from Du Wan and combined with his own investigation, Yang Kai had a vague guessed what would happen here.

But he didn’t expect things to be so dramatic.

When he reached a place where there was no one, he spread his Wind and Thunder Wings and leaped into the clouds, his spiritual awareness wrapped around himself, unnoticed by anyone.

In the air below, some martial artists could be found from time to time, flying forward against the biting cold wind.

Three days later, Yang Kai delved deep into the snow-capped mountains.

The towering and endless snow-capped mountains were wrapped in silver, a patch of of white.

His spiritual awareness was quietly released for detection. Soon, Yang Kai perceived a weak response and grinned flying in that direction.

Another half a day later, Yang Kai hid on a snow-white mountain top, looking into a certain direction from a distance.

In that direction, quite a number of martial artists had gathered. There were at least several thousand of them, all of whom had come over from Boulder City during this period of time.

Among these several thousand people, there was a relatively special divine soul fluctuation that had a subtle connection with Yang Kai in the dark.

In that direction, Yang Kai would transmit over.

At the same time, in a tent, several Divine Movement martial artists were to operate their skills to recover. Although their strength had reached the Divine Movement Jing, the weather here was extremely cold and their true essence was extremely costly. Even for them, it was a bit difficult to endure for a long time.

One of the young men who was meditating changed his expression and suddenly opened his eyes, and his whole body’ssmell became disordered.

Sensing his abnormality, the others opened their eyes one after another and looked at him, only to find that this youth’s face was deathly pale, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.

“Liu Gui, what’s the matter？” The person on the left hurriedly asked.

The youth named Liu Gui remained indifferent, with his expression changing, especially wonderfully. It was only after a long while that he said with a mournful face： “It’s nothing. You all continue to recover first. I’ll go out for a while.”

“Go out now？ Tomorrow we still have to search around and look for clues about that person. How can you hold on if you don’t recover？” Someone said hurriedly.

Liu Gui, however, didn’t respond and his figure had already disappeared.

The several people in the tent all slowly shook their heads and no longer paid attention to him.

These people came from the same force and knew each other well. In the past, this youth named Liu Gui didn’t have very good qualifications either, and his cultivation was several levels lower than theirs. But in the past two years, no one knew what was going on. His strength advanced by leaps and bounds and he actually gradually grew to the level of the peak of the Divine Movement Realm, equivalent to them.

This time, they came to the endless snow-capped mountains hundreds of thousands of miles away in order to look for a person. But the snow-capped mountains here stretched continuously. No one knew where that person was hiding, and even less clear whether that person was really in the snow-capped mountains.

Liu Gui shuttled through the snow. It was only after a long while that he followed the instructions of the voice that rang out in his mind and came to the outside of a spacious tent.

This tent is not the same as the others. It looks extremely luxurious, and there is also a brilliant light flowing outside the tent. Obviously, some exquisite formation has been arranged inside. The spiritual energy around is also continuously pouring into the tent without interruption.

The only thing that attracts attention is that there seems to be a green breath flowing out from the tent, and there are faintly some things crying and howling like ghosts, which makes people shudder.

Standing outside the tent, Liu Gui couldn’t help swallowing his saliva. He looked around furtively a few times and found that no one was paying attention to him. Just as he was plucking up the courage to speak, the tent suddenly split a gap, and a big hand protruded from inside and directly caught Liu Gui in.

The cultivation base at the peak of the mind Jing has no power to resist at this moment Liu Gui only felt a breath of death rushing towards him, which scared him to tremble all over, and his eyes were filled with the color of fear.

A strange and shrill laughter rang in his ears, like the notes of a death knell. A person wrapped in a green breath was looking at him coldly. Those two green eyes seemed to be beating ghost fires, flickering and uncertain, making people feel creepy at the sight.

“Lad, you have quite a lot of guts. How dare you spy outside my tent! The person wrapped in the green aura let out a strange laugh and said leisurely, “Speak, how do you want to die? I can fulfill your wish.

Liu Gui’s face turned deathly pale, and he lowered his voice and exclaimed, “Lord Wu Jie, spare my life! The disciple did not mean to pry into anything…

“Then why were you sneaking around outside my tent? Could it be that I was ordered by your master of the War Soul Hall, Cao Guan? Wu Jie snorted coldly.

“No, my lord.” Liu Gui fell to his knees and hurriedly said, “I was also entrusted by someone to bring you a message.”

“By whom?” Who is this person? Wu Jie couldn’t help but frown.

“This…” Liu Gui stammered, looking as if he didn’t dare to reveal the identity of that person.

Wu Jie sneered repeatedly： “Then what message did he ask you to bring to me？”

Liu Gui was like a dreamer who had received a pardon and hurriedly said, “He said… he wants to see you. As for his identity, he says just tell you the word “space” and you’ll understand.

As soon as the words fell, Wu Jie’s face changed. He waved his hand and activated all the restrictions arranged in the tent, isolated from all outside probing. He frowned and stared at Liu Gui said in a deep voice, “How did you get in touch with him?”

Liu Gui gave a dry laugh： “Can this not be said？”

“What do you think？” Wu Jie stared at him coldly.

Liu Gui sighed and helplessly revealed everything.

After understanding why Liu Gui had contacted that young man and how he could hear his orders, Wu Jie then chuckled. That laughter entered the ears, making Liu Gui shiver with horror, feeling as if his soul was about to be stripped from his body.
