At that moment, She Yuanjun suddenly spoke up, "Your Excellency, after Subordinate treated this young man, he briefly regained consciousness. Although he still harbors great suspicion towards us, we managed to extract some useful information."
As She Yuanjun and the others described the situation, Ye Kai's brow gradually furrowed.
If this were any ordinary scenario or a plot from a television drama, it would likely lead to a 'public enemy' situation!
This group was really intent on forcing him out!
According to the young man's background, he was merely a disciple of an ordinary sect. Even the sect leader had only inherited the teachings of a Loose Cultivator.
Relying on his own efforts, he had made some progress in Qi cultivation. However, after experiencing a calamity that scattered his disciples, he had expressed admiration for several prominent Sects and Holy Lands, specifically instructing his disciples that if they had the opportunity, they should seek to join these Holy Lands to learn their ways.
The young man named Lin Wunan had heard about Great Wilderness Island Sandbar City publicly recruiting disciples and thus set off across mountains and seas, hoping to find his fortune in Azure Bond City.
In fact, by the time he received the news, Azure Bond City already had many aspiring disciples flocking there. Each time a Holy Land recruited disciples, it would attract a large number of cultivators and Loose Cultivators.
Naturally, not everyone could join; many had participated multiple times—dozens of times even—leading to numerous Loose Cultivators scattered throughout the wilderness, fantasizing and envying those who succeeded in joining.
At the same time, they quietly spread the reputation of these Holy Lands in hopes of catching their attention for a chance at opportunity.
Such situations were quite common. Ye Kai himself had once entertained thoughts about whether these places truly opened their doors wide to welcome aspiring disciples—not for any other reason but to leave a mark in this world.
However, he soon realized that this approach was impractical; as the number of disciples increased, so did the consumption of resources. It wasn't that they couldn't afford it; it was simply troublesome.
Nevertheless, there were reasonable solutions. Similar to his previous experiences across various Dimensions, he could stick to an elite approach. Only those with great fortune, immense willpower, and unwavering perseverance would be accepted as his disciples.
Though it was likely that he might not encounter such individuals for eighty years, when he did find one, he could not let them slip away.
Just like Han Xiaoshan, who had now become the Young Master of Jade Mountain.
Originally just an ordinary disciple from Falling Sunset Mountain Range, he was now the Young Master of Star God Sect—a superpower renowned across Boundless Sea.
While both titles were the same, in reality, the strength and depth of each were incomparable.
Unfortunately, there had yet to be another individual who caught Ye Kai's eye; those with high potential were likely already swept up by the news from Azure Bond City.
At that time, those who were eliminated were like a flood of fish crossing the river. Among them, there might be some who slipped through the net, and even those with extraordinary talents, but it all depended on luck to encounter them.
Lin Wunan held the same thought as he prepared to head to Azure Bond City to try his luck.
Little did he know, before he could even walk a short distance, he suddenly encountered someone who claimed to be a disciple of the Star God Sect. The other party demonstrated a couple of spells, instantly stunning the young man.
Although this youth had fortuitously obtained a fragment of a Daoist technique, he had never seen much of the world. Seeing the other person's profound cultivation and extraordinary spells, he believed that the person was indeed a disciple of the Star God Sect. Excitedly, he decided to follow him back to the mountain to become his apprentice.
However, this 'disciple of the Star God Sect' not only deceived him into coming along but also secretly subdued him halfway through their journey, intending to use him to practice a spell that required sacrificing souls.
Lin Wunan fought desperately to escape but was severely injured in the process. Eventually, he encountered Gongyang Zhenjun and She Yuanjun, who were out on business.
Upon arriving, Gongyang Zhenjun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Excellency, while treating his injuries just now, I discovered that the strange power that injured him feels very familiar."
She Yuanjun nodded beside him and continued, "Your Excellency, Gongyang's feeling is correct; it is a type of extremely cold and sinister power."
Ye Kai raised an eyebrow and cast a beam of holy light. Immediately, they saw wisps of dark blue mist rising from the young man's body. He sneered and said, "Mysterious Ice Shield? Heh, so it turns out we have an old acquaintance!"
Hearing that Ye Kai had an old acquaintance, Gongyang Zhenjun's eyes lit up. "Your Excellency, could it be from the Tiger Shark Clan?"
Ye Kai replied calmly, "Indeed, it is an old acquaintance from the Tiger Shark Clan—a powerful being at the Separation Stage named Hu Qianfang. Ever since our last battle, this guy has gone quiet; I don't know if he's hiding or in seclusion."
"Now it seems that while he doesn't dare to retaliate openly, he's been making moves in secret."
Gongyang Zhenjun pondered for a moment before suddenly saying, "Your Excellency, there is actually another point of doubt."
He pointed at the young man still unconscious in the Void Cauldron and spoke up. "From the residual aura of power left in his injuries, it's clear that whoever injured him is far above his cultivation level. If they truly wanted him dead, they could have crushed him with a single finger; there’s no way he could have survived."
"Your Excellency, could it be that Hu Qianfang from the Tiger Shark Clan is such a powerful being just to tarnish our reputation?"
She Yuanjun's eyes brightened as he smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious? Not only did we get lucky; perhaps Hu Qianfang has also been severely injured himself. That's why he deliberately left him alive—not only to achieve his goal of discrediting our Star God Sect but also to deceive us!"
"In this case..."
Gongyang Zhenjun nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "If that's the case, then Hu Qianfang is likely nearby and severely injured. It's even possible that he has reached a level that even those at the Golden Core Stage would fear."
"It might be more than that," Ye Kai said, glancing at the young man. "Look over there."
Although he had only considered this possibility after hearing the analysis from the two, once he had guessed it, he immediately issued an order to investigate further; there might be some discoveries to be made.
To his surprise, within just a minute, countless Multifunctional Detectors had already detected an anomaly.
It was a coral reef hidden several meters beneath the sea, and at that moment, a tremendous Energy Fluctuation was emanating from within.
With a wave of his hand, a Light Screen projected in front of everyone. Ye Kai looked at the Sea Surface and gently said, "Everyone take a close look and see if there's anything unusual at that spot on the Sea Surface."
"I see now!"
"There really is something wrong!"
In just a moment, Gongyang Zhenjun and She Yuanjun both realized what was happening and couldn't help but show expressions of eager anticipation.
They were quite interested in this.
