“How should we answer him?” Gongsun Rihua asked.
“I’ll do it!” Gongsun Yuehua took the Message Bead from her brother’s hand and after a moment of contemplation, she sent out a message.
In the depths of the lake, Yang Kai held the Message Bead in his hand, his brow slightly raised as he muttered to himself, “A night of longing… how much love does one have? The ends of the earth and the ends of the world are never long! Who is this!”
What he was certain of was that Gu Pan’s Message Bead was definitely not in her hands, otherwise she wouldn’t have said such words. He wasn’t worried about Gu Pan’s safety, after all, she is a core disciple of Lang Ya Paradise. Even if she had been abducted by the pair of twins, Lang Ya’s main goal was to separate him from Gu Pan, not harm her.
Now, they even pretended to be Gu Pan to contact him.
Just as he was lost for words, a message came from the Message Bead, “Senior Brother, where are you now? I’ve come to find you!”
Yang Kai smacked his lips. They couldn’t help asking about his position.
Thinking for a moment, Yang Kai sent a message back.
Inside the bamboo house, Gongsun Yuehua said excitedly, “Found him!”
Rihua quickly asked, “Where?”
Gongsun Yuehua shook her head, “He doesn’t know the exact location, but our Lang Ya Paradise has countless Spirit Province, so he doesn’t know the name of the Spirit Province he’s hiding in, but he did give us some clues.”
Gongsun Rihua grinned, “As long as there’s a clue, it’s easy to find! Send this clue to everyone and tell them to split up. I don’t believe we can’t find him.”
Yuehua nodded and quickly transmitted the message.
Inside Lang Ya Paradise, the Open Heaven Stage cultivators who had been searching for Yang Kai suddenly received a message from the Gongsun siblings and were overjoyed. Although the information provided was vague, it was at least better than wandering around aimlessly like them.
As long as they followed these clues, they would be able to find where Yang Kai was hiding.
In an instant, many of the High Rank masters began searching.
In less than half a day, the group found a Spirit Province that was very similar to the one Yang Kai had describe. The group led by Senior Brother Zhao, who had been beaten by Yang Kai to the point of vomiting blood, was the first to find it. Looking at the Spirit Province in front of them, he hesitated for a moment before asking, “Is he hiding here?”
The other Sixth Order in the team gritted his teeth and said, “This brat is really cunning, actually hiding here. No wonder we couldn’t find him!”
At this moment, a few more teams had arrived and were obviously following the clues. When everyone saw them, they were all speechless.
The Spirit Province in front of them was the Sect Master’s Spirit Province. Although the Sect Master had many affairs to attend to every day and rarely returned to the three main Spirit Province, this Spirit Province was undoubtedly the Sect Master’s, so normally no one would come here.
“Should we inform the Sect Master?” Someone asked hesitantly.
“That little brat is as cunning as a fox. Now that we’ve rushed here, I’m afraid he’s already noticed us. If we inform the Sect Master, he’ll definitely escape and make a move first. If we capture this thief, Sect Master won’t blame us!”
“That’s true!”
“Then let’s act!” Senior Brother Zhao shouted and took the lead to rush towards Spirit Province while the rest followed closely behind. In an instant, more than a dozen Sixth Order masters rushed into the Spirit Province and spread out their Divine Senses, searching for any suspicious traces.
A moment later, more Open Heaven Stage masters who had received the news rushed to this place. Not only were there Sixth Order, but there were also Fifth Order and Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage masters. Although Li Yuan Wang had only sent a message to the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters, this matter had already caused quite a stir in Lang Ya Paradise, so the news quickly spread.
It was said that as long as they could capture Yang Kai, they would be able to enter the Five Lights World to gain experience, so naturally, the Fifth Order and Fourth Order cultivators also wanted to try their luck. They also knew that they were no match for Yang Kai, but what if they were lucky? This was an opportunity to gain experience in the Five Lights World, and normally only Sixth Order Open Heaven had the qualifications to enter, so how could they possibly obtain it?
In less than an hour, more than a thousand Open Heaven Stage masters had gathered on the Spirit Province.
Although Li Yuan Wang’s Spirit Province was not a forbidden area in the entire Lang Ya Paradise, very few people would come here normally. Now that there were a thousand people gathered here, and all of them were Fourth Order Open Heaven and above, it was simply unprecedented.
With so many Open Heaven Stage cultivators gathered here, at first, everyone was able to restrain themselves and only use their Divine Sense to search for Yang Kai’s whereabouts, but after a long time, their methods became violent and almost all of the Spirit Province’s land was torn apart.
When Li Yuan Wang, the Sect Master, received the news and rushed over, he saw that the Spirit Province had been reduced to ruins.
Looking at the scenery below, Li Yuan Wang’s brow twitched.
When the Sect Master arrived, everyone quickly bowed, “Disciple greets Sect Master!”
“What are you doing?” Li Yuan Wang asked solemnly.
Senior Brother Zhao stepped forward and cupped his fists, “Reporting to Sect Master, we are searching for Yang Kai!”
Li Yuan Wang said bitterly, “Since you’re searching for Yang Kai, why did you come here?”
Senior Brother Zhao replied, “There is concrete news that Yang Kai is hiding here!”
“En?” Li Yuan Wang was surprised, “Where did this news come from?”
“It’s from Junior Brother Gongsun Rihua and Junior Sister Yuehua. The two of them seem to have found out about Junior Sister Gu Pan’s contact with Yang Kai.”
Li Yuan Wang pondered for a moment before vaguely understanding the cause and effect, his face darkening as he asked, “Then… did you find him?”
Senior Brother Zhao shook his head, “I haven’t found anything yet!”
“A bunch of idiots!” Li Yuan Wang raged, “Being led by the nose without even realizing it, how did I, Lang Ya Paradise, raise you fools!”
Senior Brother Zhao was stunned, “Does Sect Master mean that Yang Kai is not hiding here?”
Li Yuan Wang said bitterly, “If he was hiding here, how could he hide from this king's senses? This king didn’t even notice him, how could you find him?”
Senior Brother Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a moment before suddenly understanding, “Disciple understands!”
Li Yuan Wang looked at him, “What do you understand?”
“Gongsun Rihua and Yuehua, this brother and sister pair, have already changed sides at the last moment, acting as accomplices to the tiger’s evil deeds, deliberately sending false information to confuse us!” Senior Brother Zhao said solemnly.
Li Yuan Wang nearly spat out a mouthful of blood as he stared at Senior Brother Zhao in disappointment, “Don’t lower your head when you walk next time!”
Senior Brother Zhao asked curiously, “Disciple doesn’t understand, please enlighten me!”
Li Yuan Wang sighed, “This King is afraid that the water in your brain will pour out!” Turning his head, he waved his hand, “Scram, scram, scram!”
The group of disciples saw that the Sect Master’s expression wasn’t right and quickly ran away. Senior Brother Zhao was still pondering the meaning behind Sect Master’s words, shaking his head as he walked, looking towards his Junior Brother in confusion, “Is there water in my head?”
The Junior Brother glanced at him and asked cautiously, “Is everyone’s brain filled with water?”
“Oh!” Senior Brother Zhao suddenly understood and quickly raised his head, his nostrils flaring.
A figure suddenly appeared by Li Yuan Wang’s side and looked down at the ground below, stifling a laugh, “Sect Master, are you shooting yourself in the foot? Does it hurt?”
Li Yuan Wang sighed, “Don’t be so sarcastic! That little brat just arrived here so he definitely doesn’t know that Spirit Province belongs to me. Xiao Pan must have told him about it when he was taking him on a tour.”
Gao Ting nodded, “Now that he’s being pursued by Lang Ya’s disciples, he’s annoyed that you, the Sect Master, didn’t stop them, so he deliberately lured them here to disgust you.”
“I’m not finished with him!” Li Yuan Wang raged.
Gao Ting showed a look of praise, “This little brat is quite stubborn. He’s obviously in trouble, but he didn’t come to find you. In fact, he could have come to you and reported everything to you so you could step in and stop them.”
Li Yuan Wang coldly snorted, “He doesn’t know what order this King has issued!”
Gao Ting nodded slightly, “That’s true!”
Above the Spirit Province, a large number of streaks of light suddenly flew over, and soon after, a magnificent Open Heaven Stage cultivator landed in front of the bamboo house.
Gongsun Rihua and Yuehua noticed the commotion and quickly walked out to investigate. Seeing this scene, they were both shocked.
“Senior Brother Zhao, did you capture that thief?” Gongsun Rihua asked.
Senior Brother Zhao’s nostrils flared as he glared at him, “You traitor!”
Gongsun Rihua was dumbfounded…
What? How was he a traitor?
However, before he could ask anything, Senior Brother Zhao waved his hand, “Attack!”
A large number of Open Heaven Stage masters appeared behind him and in the blink of an eye, they drowned out Gongsun Rihua. The sounds of punches and kicks rang out, mixed with Gongsun Rihua’s screams!
Gongsun Yuehua could only watch helplessly as her brother was surrounded and beaten up by so many people. Although she didn’t understand what was happening, she didn’t dare stop it!
A moment later, the crowd dispersed, leaving behind Gongsun Rihua, who had been beaten to a pulp, howling in pain.
“Let’s go!” Senior Brother Zhao waved his hand and led the group away.
“What happened?” Gongsun Rihua lay on the ground, his face swollen with grief and indignation. This group of fellow disciples had come to beat him up and then left, leaving him confused. What about Yang Kai? Did they catch him? [Hoogsway: how are they this stupid, lol.]
Gongsun Yuehua, who was watching from the side, was trembling in fear. Fortunately, she was a woman, so it was not easy for her fellow disciples to act. Otherwise, another person would be lying on the ground.
Hiding behind Yuehua, Gu Pan wore an apologetic expression. She could roughly guess what was going on, but it was difficult to explain, so she could only apologize in her heart.
Above the lake, a group of three people returned. It was none other than Senior Brother Zhao.
Senior Brother Zhao raised his head and looked down at the lake from the corner of his eye, rubbing his chin as he asked, “Have you checked the bottom of this lake?”
The two Junior Brothers beside him both shook their heads, and one of them, who looked a bit younger, said, “Although no one is investigating the bottom of the lake, there have been many fellow disciples passing by here these past few days, so there’s nothing unusual with their Divine Sense.”
Senior Brother Zhao shook his head and said, “We can’t be careless. Yang Kai is a Sixth Order, and his strength is tyrannical, so he should have some kind of concealment technique. If the Divine Sense can’t sense it, it doesn’t mean he’s not here. Didn’t they say that the most dangerous place is the safest? Junior Sister Gu is being taken care of here, so perhaps he likes to take risks!”
The Junior Brother couldn’t help nodding, “Senior Brother Zhao is right! Then should I go down and take a look?”
“No!” Senior Brother Zhao raised his hand and stopped him, “Although you’re a Sixth Order, you’re definitely not his opponent. If he really hides in the water, you’ll definitely suffer.”
