"Ah!!!"
A heart-wrenching scream suddenly echoed from the mountaintop.
"You dare betray me, Lingbao Pavilion..."
Ye Kai furrowed his brows as the voice grew closer. Suddenly, a look of confusion crossed his face; he was far too familiar with that voice. Who else could it be but Wu Shao, the Young Master of Lingbao Pavilion?
With this person's intellect, cultivation, and the guards by his side, it was impossible for him to shout like this after Ye Kai's repeated warnings. There had to be something wrong.
Suddenly, Ye Kai raised an eyebrow, a glimmer of insight flashing in his eyes, yet he felt no tension or worry in his heart.
A projection of a Light Screen flickered into view, revealing a whirlwind within it. Three blood-soaked men appeared, one of whom was a Blue-Clad Youth wearing a cold smile filled with murderous intent.
After a few clanging sounds, the three disheveled cultivators found their magical artifacts severely damaged, their Spirit Light dimming and nearly impossible to control.
In just a few breaths, the Blue-Clad Youth unleashed a tornado, causing the three magical artifacts to vanish instantly. A streak of light flashed, and apart from Wu Shao, the Young Master of Lingbao Pavilion, one of the other guards was blown apart at the chest.
An elderly man and a young boy supported each other as they stood.
The boy nearly collapsed against the middle-aged man, his face twisted in rage.
"Kid, have you finished cursing yet?"
After a moment, seeing that the Middle-Aged Man was nearing depletion of his magical power and still forcing himself to stay calm, the Blue-Clad Youth could no longer hold back and snapped coldly!
If it weren't for the middle-aged man firmly holding onto his shoulder, how could Wu Shao, the Young Master who rampaged through Lingbao Pavilion, contain himself? He suddenly looked up and could clearly see the unmasked killing intent in Wu Li's eyes.
Even so, he would never lower himself to beg. His patience had reached its limit, and he shouted angrily, "Wu Li, you damned dog servant! After all I’ve done for you in the Wu Family, this is how you repay me? You ungrateful beast..."
A wave of killing intent surged forth, as if his words had provoked something deep within Wu Li, intensifying the murderous glare in his eyes.
If it weren't for the questions he still needed to ask, it would have been over by now...
Wu Li forcibly suppressed the urge to crush both of them and asked in a low voice, "Shan, you should understand your injuries and the situation at hand. From now on, I will ask, and you will answer."
At this point, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked in a serious tone, "Is that person of yours at the White Jade Mountain ahead?"
"Yes."
In just a moment, Wu Shan finally managed to catch his breath and replied with a pale face.
However, he hesitated for a moment and sighed softly, "Wu Li, although I don’t understand why you are doing this, I must remind you of one thing: the person at White Jade Mountain is not someone who speaks kindly!"
Wu Li's gaze flickered for a moment as a mocking smile appeared on his lips. He replied lightly, "I don’t know if he speaks kindly or not, but the people of Bone Gate certainly do not."
"I see..."
A look of realization crossed Wu Shan's face as if he understood something. He revealed a bitter smile and glanced back at his Young Master before sighing softly, "So, you are wholeheartedly on Bone Gate's side now? Have you considered their methods and actions? Humans and demons are ultimately incompatible, yet Bone Gate allows both to coexist. Are you truly sure about this?"
"Yes! I am very clear about it."
Wu Li first looked at Wu Shan with suspicion before a hint of mockery returned to his smile. "Shan, I’ll call you that one last time. With the White Bone Phosphor Needle in you, there’s no way you can protect that child. If you don’t want to die in a particularly ugly manner, then out of respect for our past friendship, you should take care of it yourself!"
Wu Shan felt a bitter pang in his heart. He was indeed stalling for time; perhaps the recent battle had already caught the attention of that individual. If he could provoke that person into action, both he and the Young Master would surely be safe.
Yet he also understood that the relationship between his Young Master and that individual was a tangled mess.
He wanted to call out loudly, but after some thought, he ultimately dared not say much. He couldn't afford to take that risk and could only hope that the sound transmission talisman he sent would reach Lingbao Pavilion.
"Wu Li, may I..."
Before Wu Shan could finish his sentence, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.
"Who goes there? State your name!"
"I am also quite curious about which deity has been offended, to the extent of employing an undercover agent at the Golden Core Stage. Such a grand move truly piques my interest!"
The emphasis on the word "deity" was heavy, and the sarcasm was unmistakable.
Seeing this, Wu Li formed a hand seal, and a surge of azure phosphorescent mist erupted, quickly constructing thousands of green poisonous needles. He pointed forward and shouted, "Swift!!!"
Sensing the sweet, metallic scent in the air, Ye Kai raised an eyebrow. He also formed a Spell Formula with his hands and chuckled, "A mere Initial Golden Elixir Stage cultivator dares to be so arrogant? Since you are so restless, I shall find you a companion to play with."
"Light-Restricting Barrier, activate!!!"
A semi-circular Energy Barrier instantly formed, blocking not only the thousands of green White Bone Phosphor Needles but also swiftly closing in to envelop nearly a thousand meters of space completely.
With a smirk, he glanced at Wu Shao, who was glaring angrily, and casually cast another Spell Formula that transformed into a light barrier, trapping both him and the one called Wu Shan together.
This action seemed to infuriate Wu Shao, who unexpectedly opened his mouth and spewed forth a burst of golden light, transforming into a Gold Brick that rapidly expanded to the size of a house. It spun around and charged toward Ye Kai.
Although surprised that he had such a treasure in his hands, Ye Kai merely smiled and ignored him. He flicked his fingers to unleash a Holy Rune, which immediately erupted with brilliant Radiance within the light barrier, stunning both of them.
Wu Li was already terrified and attempted to break through the barrier to escape. However, Ye Kai was well-prepared and quickly reinforced the Light-Restricting Barrier using the same method, shrinking this barrier world down to a Laser Dot the size of a grain of rice, which he casually caught in his palm.
Having dealt with these two matters, he lost interest in lingering and flew toward the peak of White Jade Mountain.
After half an hour, a dozen streaks of light finally approached from afar.
Before they even arrived, one person shouted loudly, "You up there! Is my young master with you? Hurry up and send Old Man out!"
Ye Kai was watching a movie and sipping on a drink when he heard this shout. He immediately frowned, tilted his head, glanced at the projection beside him, and murmured, "It seems one really shouldn't look too honest. WIKI, drive them away."
WIKI bowed slightly beside him. "Understood, Lord God."
"Boom Boom Boom!!!"
Almost in the blink of an eye, over thirty energy cannons erupted, sending the dozen streaks of light tumbling back. They fell to the ground in disarray, especially the leading figure, Mr. Mighty, who was targeted by twenty beams of eerie blue light.
Though it was all power being unleashed, it was not something a Golden Core Cultivator could withstand; they were all severely injured upon impact.
