Chapter 1486, Invitation
After listening to their self-introductions, Yang Kai raised his brow as he discovered that these people all belonged to differentforces, some of which even seemed to have grudges between them.
This left Yang Kai a little at a loss, wondering what they wanted from him.
“It's like this, Friend,” The man named Wu Chang took the lead, putting on a friendly smile that felt entirely fake to Yang Kai butmade the others present scowl somewhat unhappily. “From the looks of it, Friend came alone to enter the depths of FallenEmperor Mountain to treasure hunt, yes?”
“Indeed!” Yang Kai gently nodded, “So what?”
Wu Chang chuckled, “Friend doesn’t need to be so vigilant, this one has no malicious intentions and simply wishes to invite youand to enter with him.”
“With you?” Yang Kai frowned.
“Exactly,” Wu Chang nodded quickly before stretching out his hand and pointing in a specific direction. “Friend must be able totell that this Wu is nothing more than a Second-Order Saint King, and although such cultivation is not low, it is also not high. Infact, the disciples of Extreme Heaven Sect currently here do not have an Origin Realm master to assume command, so if wewere to encounter a powerful enemy while exploring the Fallen Emperor Mountain...”
Although he didn’t finish his words, Yang Kai still understood why this man extended an invitation. Looking in the direction thisWu Chang was pointing, Yang Kai noticed a group of cultivators wearing similar robes, about a dozen or so in total and all ofthem Saint Kings. There was no trace of an Origin Realm master in sight.
It seemed that Extreme Heaven Sect wasn’t a very powerful force.“You want me to protect your safety?” Yang Kai asked.
“Talking with someone smart makes things so much easier. Rather than just protection, this Wu would rather call it cooperation, itall depends on whether this friend is willing or not,” Wu Chang nodded quickly.
“Is there a difference?” Yang Kai was surprised.
“Naturally there is a difference,” Wu Chang saw that Yang Kai seemed a bit interested and hurriedly struck while the iron washot. “If Friend just protects my Extreme Heaven Sect, we will simply pay Friend a satisfactory price, but whatever we discover inFallen Emperor Mountain will then belong exclusively to my Extreme Heaven Sect. If we cooperate, however, friend and I candiscuss the terms of how to distribute the treasures we find. Of course, this Wu would earnestly like to cooperate with this friend.”
Yang Kai nodded lightly, finally figuring out why the other party was acting so enthusiastic. It turned out that this Wu Chang’sSect lacked any powerful masters, and since Yang Kai hadn’t bothered to conceal his cultivation, even if Wu Chang was just aSaint King, it wasn’t hard to realise Yang Kai was an Origin Realm master.
“The same goes for all of you?” Yang Kai swept his eyes over the others gathered around him.These cultivators nodded quickly, one-by-one introducing their own families or Sects.
“| understand,” Yang Kai chuckled before asking meaningfully, “Aren’t you worried I'll go back on my word and silence thewitnesses if we discover something truly good?”
Hearing this, Wu Chang and the others present went somewhat stiff, their expressions becoming uncomfortable, but soon, WuChang composed himself and said, “Friend must be joking.”novelbin
“Whether I’m joking or not, since | can enter the Fallen Emperor Mountain to explore on my own, why would | bother cooperatingwith you and be forced to share the profits?” Yang Kai sneered. He wasn’t so idle or bored to help these people. The only reasonhe even bothered talking to these people was because he had only just arrived and was hoping to gleam so information fromthem about Fallen Emperor Mountain's current situation.
“En... it’s like this, Friend. The ancient secluded homes and cave mansions in Fallen Emperor Mountain are all extremely wellhidden. Many cannot even be found with Divine Sense, so if there are more people to search, there is a higher chance todiscover opportunities. Moreover, most of the barriers protecting these secluded homes and cave mansions cannot be openedby individuals and instead require the cooperation of many, which is why most people choose to form groups to explore. Thereare very few who decide to enter all on their own.”
“From what you said, | guess it does make sense,” Yang Kai nodded lightly.
Wu Chang and the others were overjoyed hearing this, but just as they were about to continue pressing their advantage, YangKai waved his hand and said, “But | only just arrived here and don’t plan on immediately diving in, so you'd all best look forsomeone else to cooperate with.”
Saying so, Yang Kai left.He never had any intention to cooperate with these people.
Although Wu Chang and the others were unwilling, they were unable to continue blocking Yang Kai, so they turned their attentionback to their surroundings instead, hoping to spot other lone Origin Realm masters they could win over.
After getting rid of those few people, Yang Kai didn’t rush to enter Fallen Emperor Mountain but instead walked around therandom stalls while taking out his communication artifact and pouring his Divine Sense into it.
Unfortunately, there was no response, so Yang Kai could only shake his head and put it away.It seemed that Qian Tong was too far away. Otherwise, he would have been able to make contact.
Yang Kai wasn’t actually investigating these stalls for treasures. There were a lot of goods at these stalls, and many of themweren't bad in terms of quality, but how could these things possibly enter Yang Kai’s eyes? Moreover, who would be willing todisplay any kind of real treasure here? After obtaining something precious, anyone’s first thought would be to hide it from publicview.
It could be said that the items on sale here were all just common goods.
Of course, some people couldn't judge the real value of things and treated treasures like garbage, but such instances werescarce.
Yang Kai continued to wander around since he wanted to gather information. At the very least, he could get a roughunderstanding of the situation inside Fallen Emperor Mountain through the conversations of the cultivators around him.
There were countless people here, so it wasn’t tricky for Yang Kai to glean some valuable news.
The ancient Sect ruins actually existed! Apparently, it was located at the innermost part of Fallen Emperor Mountain. Now, manymasters had already rushed there; however, the Sect Defending Array of that ruin seemed quite sturdy, so it probably wouldn't beeasy to break through in short order. As such, the masters who first discovered it were at a loss and could only wait for morepeople to arrive so they could join forces to crack it.
If Yang Yan were here, with her abilities, breaking through that Sect Defending Array wouldn't be any trouble at all, butunfortunately, she had already fused with the Great Emperor’s true body and was now still in a state of deep sleep.
Thinking of Yang Yan, Yang Kai sighed unconsciously.
This woman was the closest friend Yang Kai had made since he arrived on Shadowed Star. She had followed him through manyups and downs, sharing joys and sorrows, but how could Yang Kai have known her actual life experiences would be soastonishing?
Just as he was reminiscing, Yang Kai's eyes flashed lightly before he collected himself and walked off towards a sparselycrowded place.
After a while, he suddenly turned around with a smile on his face and called out, “Friend, why are you following behind this Yangso stealthily? How about you come out and show yourself?”
Asurprised outburst rang out before a figure strangely appeared not far away, its eyes sweeping over Yang Kai in shock as itcalled out, “You can actually see through this Jiang’s concealment technique?”
Yang Kai snorted as he swept his Divine Sense across his opponent and found that this man was a Second-Order OriginReturning Realm cultivator who appeared to be about fifty years old with slightly greying hair and a short stature. This olderman’s Saint Qi also seemed somewhat obscure.
Although this old man was one Minor Realm higher than him, Yang Kai showed no signs of fear at all.
He had killed a few of the cultivators at the Third-Order Origin Realm before, so why would he fear a mere Second-Order oldman? Moreover, looking at the other person’s expression, it seemed that there was no malice contained in it, so Yang Kai didn’tplan an act before he understood this old man’s true intentions.
“Don't take offence, Little Brother. This Jiang had no ill intentions,” The cultivator surnamed Jiang quickly expressed his attitude;after all, it was something of a taboo to follow after someone secretly. Although Yang Kai's cultivation was lower than this oldman’s, this place was currently a great mixing pot of dragons and snakes, so he didn’t want to stir up any unnecessary conflictwith Yang Kai only to benefit others.
“| can see that,” Yang Kai smiled lightly, not seeming to pay it any mind, “But | still want to know why you were following me.”
“Hehe, then this old man will besuccinct with Little Brother.” Althoughthis man looked far older than YangKai, sinc both ef thérhWete GhiginRealm: iivators and wereunfamiliar with one another, he didn'tdare assume an air of seniority. “En, ifLittle Brother doesn’t mind, may thisold man inquire as to what attributeSaint Qi you cultivate?” The content ison NovelDrama.Org!

“What attribute?” Yang Kai frowned, his face growing solemn, “Why should | tell you?”
“If it's convenient, would little brothermind indulging this old man? This oldman is searching for a companignwho cultivates a-specfid attribute ofSecket OF course, if Little Brotheris unwilling, then just pretend this oldman never asked. This Jiang canalways search for others tocooperate with,” The man surnamedJiang asked sincerely. The content ison NovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
Yang Kai frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, “See for yourself.”
Saying so, he stretched out his hand and released a dark Demonic Flame atop his palm which gave off a scorching heat.The cultivator surnamed Jiang saw this and his face lit up, “Fire Attribute, finally!”
“Hm?” Yang Kai frowned, “You were looking for a cultivator that specifically cultivates Fire Attribute Saint Qi?”
“Indeed!” The expression of the cultivator surnamed Jiang turned serious again, “This old man has already spoken to more thana dozen people, but none of them could meet my requirements. If Little Brother doesn’t mind, can we move elsewhere to discussthe situation in detail?”
Saying so, he looked at Yang Kai eagerly.
Seeing Yang Kai hesitating though, the old man surnamed Jiang grit his teeth and quietly sent a Divine Sense Message to YangKai.
“Oh? Is there such a good deal?” Yang Kai asked in surprise before nodding immediately, “In that case, please lead the way,Brother Jiang.”
“Please, please!” Jiang Shan saw Yang Kai agree and was overjoyed, hurriedly turning and walking off in a certain direction.
Yang Kai followed him away from the crowds and towards a more and more deserted area; however, having completeconfidence in his strength, Yang Kai wasn’t worried this old man was up to anything nefarious.
After a while, the two arrived at a small slope about ten kilometres away, where three other people were sitting cross-legged inmeditation, seemingly adjusting their breathing.
Yang Kai was surprised and quickly swept this group with his Divine Sense, immediately discovering that these three were allSecond-Order Origin Returning Realm cultivators comparable to the old man whose name he now knew was Jiang Shan.
Of these three people, two were menwhile one was a woman. One of themen appeared similar to Jiang Shan,about fifty or sixty eee while\theef Men@nd Ge oman lookeduch younger.
