Chapter 322 Don't be too presumptuous
Nestled among the mountains, there is a small, unremarkable valley.
Ran Zhou suppressed his fear and tried his best to appear normal as he led Ye Kang step by step over.
As soon as they stepped into the ravine, two figures landed.
"Stop! Who is he?"
Two gray-haired, sinister-looking old men were cautiously watching Ye Kang.
Both of them were at the ninth level of the extreme realm of cultivation, yet they were guarding the gate here.
Ran Zhou took a deep breath and shouted angrily, "How dare you! This person is a member of the Gu Clan's Holy Maiden. You can't possibly not know who the Gu Clan's Holy Maiden is, can you? She's the leader's partner!"
The two old men exchanged a glance, not daring to relax for a moment.
After all, Ye Kang's strength was unfathomable; he was probably a Grandmaster of the Lotus Realm.
If a martial artist at the Lotus Realm whom they don't know enters the main altar and something goes wrong, how can they bear the responsibility?
"Please wait a moment, senior, while I go and inform them."
An old man's figure retreated, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
Ye Kang watched with awe.
It was indeed a hidden paradise; ordinary people would have no idea how to get in.
Ran Zhou glanced at Ye Kang and, seeing that the other party did not seem dissatisfied, felt much more at ease.
A moment later, a ripple spread through the air.
The old man stepped out first, followed by a familiar figure with a gloomy face.
It was precisely because he had already been promoted to vice leader that he was favored.
He glared at Ran Zhou, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Ye Kang.
"Are you one of the saintess's people?"
Ye Kang sneered: "What right do you have to talk to me?"
"you!"
Everyone present was stunned.
This guy is way too arrogant.
Qingyan clenched his fists. He was known for his fiery temper and could not tolerate such an insult.
He unleashed a surge of true energy, and a powerful aura swept towards Ye Kang.
"How dare you! Do you know who I am?!"
boom!
Ye Kang stood still, and a surge of true energy, like a storm, instantly shattered Qingyan's oppressive aura, then slammed into his chest, slamming him against the mountain wall behind him.
"Right Vice Leader!"
The two elderly men exclaimed in surprise and rushed to help him up.
With a slap of his large hand, Qingyan sent the two flying, and roared as he charged toward Ye Kang, his martial arts already unleashed.
Snapped!
A crisp slap rang out.
Ye Kang effortlessly slapped Qingyan across the face, sending him flying again. This time, half of Qingyan's teeth flew out, mixed with blood.
"Have you always been this brave? If you provoke me again, don't blame me for taking your dog's life."
Ye Kang snorted coldly, and his words made Qingyan feel extremely aggrieved.
Horse riding!
It was clearly you, you bastard, who came in arrogant and domineering from the very beginning. How did it become me provoking you?
He was still trying to fight back when, just then, another ripple appeared in the air, and a second figure emerged with his hands behind his back.
"Useless trash, apologize to our honored guest!"
The man roared, and the aura of the Three-Leaf Lotus slowly unfolded, forcing Qingyan to lower his head.
The newcomer looked quite young, and the aura he released was both a warning to Qingyan and a challenge to Ye Kang.
Don't be too reckless.
Ran Zhou immediately shouted, "Welcome, Vice Leader Zuo!"
The latter smiled with narrowed eyes and looked at Ye Kang.
"Greetings, sir. My name is Huiyu. May I ask your name?"
Ye Kang's lips curled up. Sure enough, this person had been observing from behind, wanting to see how capable he was.
But Mitsuha is not worth wasting my breath on.
Ye Kang continued with a cold snort: "And who are you? Dare to ask my name?"
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly plummeted to freezing point.
Ran Zhou was completely numb.
My Lord Ye, aren't you being a bit too reckless? It's one thing to mock the Blue Eyes, but why do you have to mock the big boss of the Three Leaves too!
So this is really indiscriminate attack, huh!
Gray Feather's smile froze on his face, but he still forced a smile and said, "Friend, one should know how to be polite. I'm lowering myself to talk to you, not so that you'll take advantage of me."
Ye Kang smiled and said, "You're right, but I really didn't push my luck. I was just telling the truth. You're not qualified to be my friend."
"you wanna die!"
Gray Feather couldn't hold back any longer. He was usually a smiling tiger, but this was the first time he had ever been so angry. There was no way around it; this guy was too infuriating, and he wouldn't be satisfied until he taught him a lesson.
Just as he was about to make his move, a cold voice came from the air: "Let him in."
Hui Yu immediately lowered his raised hand, quickly reverting to his smiling demeanor, and gestured to Ye Kang, "The sect leader has spoken; please come in with me."
"That's pretty much it."
Ye Kang was not intimidated at all and followed Hui Yu out.
A ripple flashed before their eyes, and a powerful array descended, pulling them all inside.
Ye Kang had already noticed that there was a formation here, after all, the Xuanmen Formation Explanation has a very detailed chapter on how to set up a cave formation.
The so-called "grotto heaven" is a huge cave dwelling that a powerful cultivator can open up with brute force, and then add various formations to expand the area of the cave dwelling while disguising it as an ordinary place.
Sure enough, after passing through the ripples, Ye Kang immediately saw the huge mineral vein in front of him.
Countless ordinary people worked along the mountain path, sweating profusely.
At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of ordinary people, most of whom were pale and emaciated, and severely exhausted.
Beside the mine, there were several mountain peaks where many White Lotus sect members were moving about, seemingly busy with something.
Behind these peaks lies a verdant main peak, far exceeding the height of the mine, yet no one approaches it.
The entire cave was turned into a fortress and arsenal by the White Lotus Sect.
【Ding】
[Mission issued: Destroy the White Lotus headquarters]
[Task Reward: Comprehension]
Upon hearing the long-awaited system task being released, Ye Kang's eyes flickered, and his smile deepened.
As he walked, Grey Feather asked, "Does Your Excellency wish to see the Sect Leader?"
"It is your leader who wants to see my princess."
Ye Kang showed no stage fright and spoke with pride.
The princess here naturally refers to Xia Ningyan; a princess from the previous dynasty is still a princess.
Grey Feather asked in confusion, "When did the princess acquire a master of your caliber?"
Ye Kang gave him a look as if he were an idiot.
"If you knew everything, wouldn't the princess be at your mercy? Stop talking nonsense. Where is your sect leader? The princess is in danger right now. You need to discuss important matters with him."
Gray Feather nodded, a vein throbbing involuntarily on his forehead.
This guy... I really want to kill him.
After passing through the mine and those ordinary mountain peaks, a grand hall appeared ahead. Gray Feather stood in front of the hall and bowed respectfully to those inside.
"Master, the people have arrived."
A moment later, the gloomy and indifferent voice rang out again in the hall.
"Come in and talk."
Gray Feather nodded and said to Ye Kang, "Go inside, we'll wait for you outside."
Without hesitation, Ye Kang walked in with unwavering confidence.
Outside, Gray Feather and Blue Eyes simultaneously looked at Ran Zhou, who was trembling.
The latter was immediately startled.
Gray Feather chuckled evilly, "Interesting. I knew you were a traitor, but I didn't expect you to actually dare to bring people here."
