Martial Peak

Chapter 2519, Jia Si

A month and a half ago, Gao Xue Ting told her that she had found something, but she would need to work with others to finish whatever she was working on. On the same day, she left some cultivation resources before departing Earth City, and had been missing ever since.

Seven days ago, Azure Sun Pavilion was suddenly surrounded by the City Lord’s Mansion guards. Without giving a reason, they just surrounded the shop and forbade anyone from coming or going.

Having explained until that point, Lu Wen realized something and asked, “How did you get inside, Senior Brother Yang? Those City Lord’s Mansion people should still be outside.”

Yang Kai grinned as he replied, “Those trash couldn’t stop me even if they wanted to.” After a pause, he frowned, “Elder Gao left here a month and a half ago, saying that she wanted to work with others to crack open the secrets of the animal skin. But seven days ago, this place was surrounded by the people of City Lord’s Mansion for no reason…”

Lu Wen explained anxiously, “Junior Sister suspects that Elder Gao might be in danger. The reason Azure Sun Pavilion was surrounded was because they didn’t want me to pass on any news out of here; after all, Elder Gao did not hide her whereabouts when she was in Azure Sun Pavilion. It’s easy to find out that she was related to this place.”

Yang Kai nodded in acknowledgement, “You’re right, if that’s the case… this must have something to do with Earth City itself.”

Lu Wen expressed sadly, “Junior Sister really had no choice but to use her own token to send out a message in the faint hope that it would reach someone. I really didn’t expect Senior Brother Yang to come.”

“I just happened to pass by while I was out on my own business.”

If Yang Kai did not pass by here by chance, Lu Wen probably would not be able to reach any of her fellow disciples; after all, this was the Eastern Territory, far away from Azure Sun Temple’s headquarters, and the disciples and Elders would not travel so far away from the temple for no reason.

Although Gao Xue Ting was always cold and aloof, she had taken very good care of Yang Kai and had personally given Yang Kai the Azure Sun Golden Token. She also took in Yang Kai as a disciple and gave him some pointers in cultivation.

Yang Kai certainly would not stand idly by when there was a possibility that Gao Xue Ting was in trouble.

Of course, everything was only speculation at this point, and it may just be a big misunderstanding, but it seemed a little evident since the City Lord’s Mansion had surrounded Azure Sun Pavilion. If it was not related to Gao Xue Ting, why would they need to surround this unimportant shop for no reason?

“From what Junior Sister Lu says, the City Lord’s Mansion must be greatly related to this matter,” Yang Kai pondered for a moment, sorting out his thoughts.

Lu Wen agreed, “Junior Sister thinks so too. Elder Gao had said that she would need to work together with others to crack the secret of the animal skin, and City Lord Zu Hong is the only First-Order Emperor Realm Master in Earth City, so he would be the best choice for Elder Gao to work together with.”

“Oh?” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and grinned, “Since there is a suspect, it makes everything much easier.”

“Senior Brother Yang, what are you going to do?” Lu Wen looked at his impish smile, feeling uneasy.

“What else can I do? I will have to go to him and get answers.” Yang Kai snorted softly.

Lu Wen was shocked, “Senior Brother must not be impulsive! Zu Hong is a First-Order Emperor Realm Master who broke through more than forty years ago and is extremely powerful. He also has an Emperor Artifact. Junior Sister knows that Senior Brother is an elite disciple of the Temple, but against an Emperor Realm Master…”

She stopped speaking, but it was obvious what she was implying.
