Ye Kai did not participate in the discussions among the others at Falling Sunset Mountain.
He merely stared at the crumpled Confining Lotus in his hand, frowning in thought.
To obtain the two Bronze keys from the Great Wilderness Sword Sect and Floating Island, he absolutely could not take a direct approach. His cards were limited, and while he wasn't afraid of a frontal confrontation, it would certainly be troublesome.
It seemed he needed to devise a plan!
With a flick of his finger, he sent the Confining Lotus flying. After a piercing wail, a jewel resembling the hues of a sunset burst forth, gracefully spiraling down into his palm.
"Falling Sunset Pearl?!"
Ye Kai gazed at the jewel in his hand, filled with curiosity. Upon contact, he immediately sensed something strange about it.
The Falling Sunset Pearl appeared whole and intact, yet for some reason, it felt similar to the Wutu Yunguang Scarf he had received—both seemed incomplete or perhaps were parts of some larger treasure.
This was peculiar.
A Falling Sunset Pearl.
A piece of Wutu Yunguang Scarf.
The two had no inherent connection, and no one would guess that there was such a mysterious link between them upon seeing them.
After taking out the Wutu Yunguang Scarf and placing it alongside the Falling Sunset Pearl, Ye Kai found it even stranger. Although they seemed to have an odd connection when viewed together, magnifying them revealed that they were just two ordinary objects without any relation at all.
"Eh!!!"
Suddenly, Ye Kai's eyes shone brightly. Even when placed separately, an ordinary person could easily recognize the extraordinary nature of the two items.
But why, when placed together, did they lose their Treasure Light?
Was the divine light restrained?
Did the treasure's essence contain something deeper?
"Strange! This is truly peculiar!" Ye Kai murmured to himself as he casually tossed the Confining Lotus aside. He separated the Falling Sunset Pearl from the Wutu Yunguang Scarf, holding one in each hand. Suddenly, a faint yet magnificent glow began to emerge.
"Is the Treasure Light manifesting on its own?!"
"How is that possible?"
"What exactly are these things?"
As Ye Kai pondered this, the group from Falling Sunset Mountain looked on with expressions of awe and unease, continuously asking questions.
After some explanations, Han Xiaoshan suddenly asked in a low voice, "Besides that Chen Hao scoundrel, are there any others?"
An elder from the Clam Clan was being supported by a delicate young girl as he walked out. With a face full of grief and anger, the elder said, "My father fought fiercely against the elders of the Great Wilderness Sword Sect for us clan members but was captured after being overpowered."
At this point, nearly all members of the Clam Tribe lowered their heads in sorrow, and a chorus of sobs filled the air.
After a while, the old man finally regained his composure, wiped away his tears, and said with resentment, "That elder from the Great Wilderness Sword Sect, Gongyang Zhenjun, is looking for a treasure. Everything here has been left to that ungrateful beast, Chen Hao. According to the instructions given before leaving, he is likely to return today."
Han Xiaosheng felt equally furious. He and this elder from the Clam Clan were actually peers; in the past, they often listened to teachings under the Fallen Sunset Ancestor together.
As the closed-door disciple of the Fallen Sunset Ancestor, he was essentially the master of Falling Sunset Mountain and had also helped his clan serve the Ancestor as their leader. Thus, their relationship was quite good.
He understood that although his old friend had a peaceful temperament, he was tough both inside and out. Being threatened like this, especially after his father had been killed, it was easy to imagine the anger brewing within him.
"Hey! Wake up!!!"
Hearing that Gongyang Zhenjun from the Great Wilderness Sword Sect was coming, Han Xiaosheng's heart tightened. A sense of helplessness rose from deep within him; the grief and anger almost caused him to lose control completely and give rise to an Inner Demon.
"Ah, Young Master, you mustn't be in any danger!"
"Young Master, what happened to you?"
"Young Master!"
...
"Thank you for your timely warning, senior!"
As soon as Han Xiaosheng regained consciousness, cold sweat covered his entire body, and his face turned pale. He quickly bowed and said, "If it weren't for your warning, I would have faced utter ruin."
"The Falling Sunset Pearl is a treasure my master obtained by chance. I dare to offer it today as the Young Master of Falling Sunset Mountain. I hope you will accept it. If this pearl remains on Falling Sunset Mountain, we may find ourselves even less at peace in the future."
Watching the members of the Clam Tribe exchange glances, Ye Kai's lips curled into a perfect arc, his smile reminiscent of the warm sunlight in spring. "Good."
The single word left everyone stunned.
Was that it?
This was a super artifact that even the Great Wilderness Sword Sect had been eyeing!
Just one word, and it was over?
As the members of the Clam Clan felt a mix of resentment and disdain, Han Xiaoshan suddenly laughed.
He wasn't foolish; if this senior had rambled on without substance, he might have felt anxious. But this single word brought a heavy stone off his heart, instantly lifting his spirits. "Senior, what about that elder from the Great Wilderness Sword Sect?"
"There's no rush; we can wait for him to return here." Ye Kai put away the Confining Lotus that had suppressed Chen Hao, and with a thought, a mournful wail echoed from within the Confining Lotus.
If the Dual Polarity Magnetic Divine Light pierced the Nascent Soul, that kind of pain was something only a few could endure, especially someone like Chen Hao, who feared for his life. He immediately ceased to resist and confessed everything that had happened before.
According to him, Gongyang Zhenjun would return shortly from his outing.
With Ye Kai's assistance, everything that had transpired above Falling Sunset Mountain had been sealed off. Even though Gongyang Zhenjun had left behind heavy magical Restrictions on the island, they were rendered ineffective and had long been lifted by WIKI.
All the disciples of the Great Wilderness Sword Sect had been captured; not a single one escaped.
As Han Xiaoshan and the others casually strolled, they arrived at a cloud platform rich in Spiritual Energy. He lightly tapped the azure stone tile beneath his feet and smiled slightly, "There is indeed a fine treasure buried beneath this cloud platform, which would greatly benefit your practice of the Yin Thunder Technique of Gui Water. Didn't you know?"
"Is there really a treasure down there?"
The elder from the Clam Clan, accompanied by a young man and woman both around seventeen or eighteen years old, all displayed expressions of disbelief, seemingly trying to discern what was so special about the azure stone tile.
After a while, even Han Xiaoshan felt a bit embarrassed under Ye Kai's half-smiling gaze, causing everyone to turn red-faced.
"This treasure has been buried beneath the azure stone tile for at least three hundred years. Now that your cultivation is complete, if you agree, this Sect can help you retrieve it."
Upon hearing this, the three members of the Clam Tribe immediately grew tense.
After all, Ye Kai had just acquired a Jewel; if this treasure were taken away as well, what would become of Falling Sunset Mountain in the future?
Thinking of this, they exchanged glances with Han Xiaoshan, hoping their Young Master would refuse. After all, as long as this treasure remained at Falling Sunset Mountain, there would always be a way to find it.
However, they did not realize that Han Xiaoshan was not concerned at all.
Or perhaps he was more interested in what kind of treasure it was. With an eager expression on his face, he urged, "Senior, what kind of treasure is it?"
