In these Ominous Grounds, oneβs safety could only be guaranteed if one maintained their peak condition.
Despite entering a meditative state, none of them relaxed their vigilance and closely monitored their surroundings for any signs of movement lest any red Evil Spirits suddenly appeared.
Yang Kai looked around and nodded while curiously observing Leng Shan in particular. After nearly a year apart, this icy girl had grown a lot.
Leng Shan was neither the strongest nor the oldest in this group, but it was clear that she was in command. Almost everything that was done was in accordance with her orders, allowing this group to have a high degree of organization.
Her high status in the Ghost King Valley was one reason for this, but more importantly she commanded everyoneβs respect because she had accumulated a great deal of life experience in various trails and Forbidden Zones.
The gloomy youth Chen Yi also smiled and sat down nearby, smiling well-meaningly towards Yang Kai.
He seemed unaware that Yang Kai had killed two Elite Disciples of Ghost King Valley and that Leng Shan had a significant grudge against him.
βWhy are you here?β Yang Kai asked curiously, surprised that on his visit to the Evil Cavern he would run into an acquaintance.
Although in that Isolated World Yang Kaiβs relationship with Zi Mo was closer than the one he had with Leng Shan, but due to his Divine Sense Brand remaining on her Soul he still had a faint connection with her.
It was just that this link was unilateral. Yang Kai could feel Leng Shanβs presence but she couldnβt feel his.
βI can naturally be here,β Leng Shan grinned, βDonβt you know where this is?β
βThe Evil Cavern.βΒ Β Yang Kai frowned before suddenly understanding, βThis place is in the Profound Yin Ghost Kingβs territoryβ¦ Ghost King Valley, so Ghost King Valley was originally from this region of the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land.β
βEn,β Leng Shan nodded lightly.
Yang Kai suddenly thought, βDoes Ghost King Valley and the Profound Yin Ghost King have some kind of relationship?β
βAlthough both have βGhost Kingβ in their titles, we donβt actually have any kind of deep connection, we just happen to belong to the same jurisdiction is all.βΒ Β Chen Yi interjected with a smile, βIt looks like Brother Yang isnβt very familiar with the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land.β
βEn,β Yang Kai muttered.
Chen Yi simply laughed however and said, βNever mind, if you donβt understand anything, feel free to ask me. Since youβre Junior Sisterβs savior, then you are a friend of my Ghost King Valley, and that naturally makes you my friend as well.Β Β Out of curiosity, where does Brother Yang come from?β
βSenior Brother!βΒ Β Leng Shan shouted. Obviously, she knew which Sect Yang Kai came from, but because she knew, she felt it wasnβt something to be discussed casually.
Before, High Heaven Pavilion was a relatively unknown Sect, but now it was world-famous because it was the birthplace of the current Demon Lord.
Because of its relationship with the Demon Lord, the entire High Heaven Pavilion had essentially been destroyed, and not only did the outside world know about this, it was even news in the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land!
The Demon Lordβs arrival had brought war to the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land, which was not something everyone wanted to see.
After noticing Leng Shanβs sudden change in demeanor, Chen Yi grinned awkwardly and waved, βWell, just treat it like I hadnβt asked. Brother Yang doesnβt need to mind.β
However, in his heart his curiosity grew. Where exactly did this Yang Kai come from?
Yang Kai could only faintly smile in response.
βBut, how come you are here?βΒ Β Leng Shan asked inquisitively. She knew that High Heaven Pavilion was tens of thousands of kilometers from here.
βI heard that this place was interesting so I came to play!β
Chen Yi and Leng Shan were both dumbstruck and were unable to hold back a wry grin.
βYou certainly have some big guts. A lone person actually daring to come here to playβ¦βΒ Β Leng Shan reluctantly shook her head, but when she thought back on just how terrifying Yang Kaiβs strength was, she also wasnβt too surprised.
[Maybe he really is qualified to come here just to playβ¦]
βOh right, how come the Evil Spirits youβre dealing with here are red?Β Β All the ones Iβve come across so far were green.β Yang Kai asked curiously.
βHa ha ha.βΒ Β Chen Yi laughed loudly after realizing that Yang Kai really may have come here for fun. Why else would he have basically no knowledge about the Evil Cavern?
Leng Shanβs brow twitched slightly, as she tried to stifle her laughter.
The other disciples of Ghost King Valley also couldnβt help but look at Yang Kai with funny expressions.
Looking around, Yang Kai couldnβt help but scratch his head awkwardly.
βAhem,β Leng Shan lightly coughed and straightened out her expression as she asked, βWhat is the difference between the green Evil Spirits and the red Evil Spirits?β
βWell, the red ones are undoubtedly stronger.β
βItβs like this: inside the Evil Cavern, the further one progresses, the more powerful the Evil Spiritβs they encounter become.Β Β Itβs relatively easy to deal with green Evil Spirits which is why you mostly find them in the cavernβs periphery, As one dives further into the cavern, they encounter red, purple, and eventually black Evil Spirits.Β Β As the strength of these Evil Spiritsβ grows, their bodies become more and more solid, to the point that a black Evil Spirit basically has a complete physical body. Even if it is a low level Immortal Ascension Boundary master, they have no choice but to retreat when they encounter one.Β Β For those at the True Element Boundary like ourselves, if we work together, at most we can deal with purple Evil Spirit. If we were to encounter a black Evil Spirit, our only choice would be to flee, and if we werenβt able to escape fast enough, we would most likely lose our lives.β
Yang Kaiβs brow twitched upon hearing this. Obviously, it was from one of these purple Evil Spirits that Le Yu had obtained his Demonic Purple Qi Body and Purple Demonic Spirit Fire.
βI understand now.βΒ Β Yang Kai nodded slightly.
βMoreover, in addition to these ordinary four different coloured Evil Spirits, there is a special type of Evil Spirit that Brother Yang should be extra wary of in this Evil Cavern.βΒ Β Chen Yi said seriously, and his expression became exceptionally serious.
βOh?βΒ Β Yang Kai, noticing how solemn Chen Yiβs expression became, had his interest piqued and was unable to hold back his curiosity and asked, βWhat kind of Evil Spirit?β
βA Soul type Evil Spirit!βΒ Β Chen Yi replied. His voice was filled with a tone of warning, βThey look exactly the same as any other Evil Spirit, so theyβre quite hard to differentiate, but if you come across one, I advise you, do everything in your power to flee!β
βWhy is that?β
βBecause they possess a Soul Skill!βΒ Β Chen Yi grimaced, βIβm just a True Element Boundary cultivator, so if I were to encounter a Soul type Evil Spirit, I wouldnβt be able to even defend myself.Β Β Brother Yang, do you have a Soul defence type artifact?β
Yang Kai shook his head.
βThen it seems youβll have trouble defending yourself as well,β Chen Yi said, frowning slightly, βThose who come to this place usually carry artifacts that can defend against Soul Skill attacks, if theyβre high enough quality, they may be able to block some of the effects from a Soul type Evil Spirit.Β Β Well, Brother Yang cultivates a True Yang attribute Secret Art, so perhaps that will provide you with some limited protection as well.β
βIt doesnβt matter, I doubt Iβd be so unlucky to come across one.βΒ Β Yang Kai grinned.
Although he had no Soul defence type artifact, he did have his Soul Palace Soul Skill, and the level of his Soul defense shouldnβt be too bad.
So in reality Yang Kai didnβt take this warning too seriously.
βGood, itβs true that Soul type Evil Spirits rarely appear.βΒ Β Chen Yi nodded.
After a few casual words, the atmosphere had become much more relaxed.
Just as they were chatting, a weird voice suddenly rang out from a short distance away. The sound was sharp and shrill, like a mix of whistling winds and howling ghosts.
All of the Ghost King Valley disciples heard this voice and turned their heads towards the direction of its origin.
βThereβs movement.βΒ Β Chen Yiβs vision became sharp as he muttered under his breath.
βEn, letβs go take a look.βΒ Β Leng Shan nodded firmly.
Yang Kai didnβt ask any questions, but looking at the faces of these people he seemed to guess that there was more going on than simple Evil Spirit hunting.
βMove out.βΒ Β Chen Yi quickly ordered and glanced over towards Yang Kai briefly, βBrother Yang, if you donβt mind, how about traveling together with us?β
βGood!βΒ Β Yang Kai nodded immediately. He had just accidentally received an Evil Spirit Essence from them, and since he had yet to compensate them, traveling together with them for the time being was only to be expected.
It wasnβt his policy to receiving graciousness from others for free.
As the group walked forward, Leng Shan deliberately hung back and eventually walked side by side with Yang Kai.
βDonβt worry, I wonβt do anything like that to you again.βΒ Β Yang Kai stated clearly, thinking she might still be worrying about their previous encounter.
βI know you wonβt,β Leng Shan shook her head, βI just wanted to tell you some things.β
βOh, and what would that be?β
Leng Shan laughed lightly, βI wanted to tell you why weβve come this time to the Evil Cavern.β
βHmm?Β Β What is it that youβre trying to accomplish here?β Yang Kai puzzled.
βActually, weβre looking for someone.β
βLooking for someone?β
βEn, there are a few outsiders who have recently killed a lot of disciples from Free And Unfettered Sect, and then fled here.Β Β Our Ghost King Valley isnβt far from Free And Unfettered Sect, so we were pulled into this situation to help them.β
At a glance, Yang Kai could tell from her expression that she was rather resentful about helping this Free And Unfettered Sect.
Chuckling lightly, he asked, βDoes that Free And Unfettered Sect often bully your Ghost King Valley?Β Β You donβt seem very willing to be here this time, do you?β
βHmph, of course I donβt want to be here!βΒ Β Leng Shan glared harshly, all but confirming Yang Kaiβs speculations, before she continued, βIβm telling you in advance because I know you donβt belong to the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land, and the ones Free And Unfettered Sect are hunting are cultivators from the outside.Β Β Iβm just worried that if you see your fellow comrades in danger youβd be put in a difficult position.β
βFellow comrades?βΒ Β Yang Kai sneered, βMy Sect is gone, exactly what comrades do I have?β
Leng Shanβs expression became a bit dim, and she whispered, βAbout High Heaven Pavilionβs situationβ¦ my condolences!β
Yang Kai simply snorted.
Perhaps influenced by Shan Qing Luo or perhaps because of High Heaven Pavilionβs misfortune, Yang Kai no longer cared too deeply about concepts like righteousness or evil.Β Β The so called beliefs of the world in his opinion had nothing to do with him.
βWho is it that Free And Unfettered Sect is chasing?β Yang Kai was a bit curious.
βOther than a woman, who else could it be?β Leng Shan scoffed, βFree And Unfettered Sectβs favourite pastime is acting without restraint, not a night goes by they donβt do their best to vent their desires, understand?β
βAhβ¦ I understand.βΒ Β Yang Kai suddenly felt awkward, never having thought the cold and indifferent Leng Shan would actually speak so bluntly.
βBut this time itβs not just a single young woman but a pair of twins. Both of them are extraordinarily beautiful and exceptionally strong to boot, and the two of them have actually razed quite a storm around here.βΒ Β Leng Shanβs eyes secretly shone a light, obviously taking some pleasure in othersβ misfortune, βThe two of them have killed more than a dozen Free And Unfettered Sect disciples, but unfortunately it seems they finally came up against more than they could handle and were forced to escape here.β
βYou seem to hold quite the grudge against that Free And Unfettered Sect.βΒ Β Yang Kai looked her up and down, then chuckled, βDid someone from their Free And Unfettered Sect try to βvent their desiresβ on our little beauty here too?β
βHmph!β Leng Shan angrily snorted and turned her face away, not directly answering his question, but her meaning was clear enough.
βHeh hehβ¦βΒ Β Yang Kai chuckled and suddenly thought of something, βIf you really were to find those two women, what are you planning to do?β
βI donβt know either,β Leng Shan shook her head. βI didnβt want to get involved in this in the first place. Even my Master said that we can just superficially cooperate and we donβt need to put in any real effort if we happen to catch themβ¦ weβll think about it then.β
βGood.βΒ Β Yang Kai nodded lightly.
