“Seeking Passion Sect’s Vice Sect Master?” Yang Kai was taken aback. A figure flashed in his mind as he quickly cried out, “Yao Zhuo?”

Bing Yun confirmed, nodding, “That’s right, him!”

Ji Yao, who had been silent all the while, curiously asked, “You know Yao Zhuo?”

Yang Kai nodded, “When I came to Ice Heart Valley last, I had some interactions with him.”

Last time he came to Ice Heart Valley, he just happened to arrive for the marriage between Seeking Passion Sect and Ice Heart Valley. Seeking Passion Sect’s Young Sect Master, Feng Xi, had fallen in love with Zi Yu and tried every means to obtain her. Ice Heart Valley was forced to agree to the marriage under that pressure.

It was Yao Zhuo, who brought Feng Xi to Ice Heart Valley to greet the relatives.

At that time, Yao Zhuo was in the Second-Order Emperor Realm while Yang Kai was a Third-Order Dao Source Realm. There was a huge gap in their strength.

But Yao Zhuo was still injured by the Emperor Authority Bead gifted by Bing Yun to Yang Kai.

Later, Yang Kai even snatched Yao Zhuo’s ring. In that Space Ring were the gifts prepared by Seeking Passion Sect for the wedding, allowing Yang Kai to make a fortune from it.

This happened only a few years ago, so Yang Kai remembered it very vividly. So, when Bing Yun mentioned Seeking Passion Sect’s Vice Sect Master, he of course recalled Yao Zhuo.

On another side, Zhang Sun Yin’s lips moved up and down as she informed Ji Yao about what happened a few years back via Divine Sense Message.

Ji Yao was speechless after hearing the full story and suddenly realized that Yang Kai was an out and out robber. A few years back, he had snatched the Space Ring of a Second-Order Emperor Realm Master when he was just in the Third-Order Dao Source Realm, and during his time in the Ancient Wild Lands, he had extorted a lot of wealth from the three remaining Divine Venerables.

He was nothing less than a natural-born thief.

“How did Yao Zhuo suddenly advance to the Third-Order Emperor Realm?” Yang Kai slightly frowned.

Although Yao Zhuo was in the Second-Order Emperor Realm a few years back, breakthroughs, especially in the Emperor Realm, were incredibly difficult, often requiring hundreds, if not thousands of years of effort.

Yet Yao Zhuo had made such quick progress in his cultivation in such a short period of time.

and made a sudden breakthrough.” She sighed and continued, “Originally, my Ice Heart Valley and Seeking Passion Sect were indeed well-matched in strength, but since Yao Zhou’s breakthrough to the Third-Order Emperor Realm, that balance was broken. I am not a match for Feng Xuan and Yao Zhuo together, so naturally Ice Heart Valley was quickly suppressed. Coupled with those
