Martial Peak

With his current strength, Yang Kai really didn’t need to put the people who had come to explore these Ancient Ruins in his eye. With his Soul Devouring Insects in hand, anyone below the Saint Realm was not his opponent.

However, because it was useful to have more people to explore the Ancient Ruin’s situation, Yang Kai had kept himself hidden and simply followed the crowd.

Now that he had a decent idea of this place’s dangers, Yang Kai intended to leave the group and act on his own.

He was very curious about the source of the Yang Attribute aura and wanted to check it out as soon as possible.

And now, his opportunity had come!

Yang Kai felt that Hai Wang Gu wouldn’t care about the life or death of an insignificant character like him.

However, to his disappointment, Hai Wang Gu actually shook his head firmly and said, “No no, how could we just abandon you here alone?”

It seemed like because Yang Kai had contributed a significant merit, Hai Wang Gu wanted to make a good impression to the crowd by showing some concern, quickly signaling to a nearby Hai Family cultivator, “Fourth Brother, you stay here and take care of him, after his condition stabilizes, catch up with us.”

The cultivator who was called out to quickly nodded and then stood next to Yang Kai, assuming a protective posture.

Yang Kai could only smile and nod, “Many thanks for Senior’s good intentions.”

Hai Wang Gu gently nodded, “Good, you heal up as soon as possible and then join the rest of us with Fourth Brother. We’ll be waiting for you two up ahead.”

Saying so, Hai Wang Gu turned around and led the others off.

Yang Kai was helpless and could only pretend to circulate a healing art as the Hai Family’s ‘Fourth Brother’ stood like a wooden stake a few meters away from him.

After half an hour or so, Yang Kai stood up again.

“How are you?” Fourth Brother bluntly asked.

“Moving about shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Then let’s go,” Fourth Brother quickly said, his face showing some slight signs of annoyance.

And so the two of them rushed forward, following the path Hai Wang Gu’s left behind and after about as long as it would take to burn a stick of incense, they caught up.

However, when Yang Kai saw the situation of the team, he couldn’t help feeling surprised.

There were originally about twenty people in this small exploration group, but right now, there were actually only thirteen, and each of their expressions was somewhat grave.

During the short time Yang Kai was ‘healing’, this team had obviously suffered from unexpected dangers. As for the seven or people who were missing, it was obvious what their fate was.
