618: What Must Be Left Behind
Then Kai finally asked quietly, “Are you confident?”Emily blinked slightly. “About what?”Kai looked directly at her. “Leading this place.”The question landed heavily, not because she hadn’t expected it, but because hearing it directly made everything feel far more real. Emily exhaled slowly and looked away briefly, her gaze drifting toward the distant formation grounds where the disciples were still training and fighting.“Not really,” she admitted honestly after a while. There was no shame in her tone and no fake confidence either, just honesty. “I’m not that confident, but I’ll try. I don’t want to disappoint you after all this.”Kai stared at her for a moment before a faint smile finally appeared on his face again, though this one was softer than usual. “You won’t,” he said simply before crossing his arms lightly. “There’s something else you need to know. The illusionary man.”Emily blinked while Abigail narrowed her eyes slightly too because even though they both knew the ill
617: A Place That Could Change the World
Soon, the entire group arrived at the crystal grounds again, and the moment they stepped into the area, the newcomers immediately felt the strange atmosphere surrounding the place. The Qi here was different from outside, denser and far purer, yet hidden beneath that purity was something dangerous and sharp enough to make even experienced cultivators instinctively cautious.Kai stood at the front quietly, staring at the empty land where the formation rested hidden beneath the surface, but instead of satisfaction, a faint frown slowly appeared on his face.Abigail noticed almost immediately.She stepped closer slightly and lowered her voice. “What’s wrong?”Kai crossed his arms, still staring ahead. “The place feels small.”Abigail blinked.“Small?”Kai nodded seriously. “Too small. If more sects start coming over later, this place won’t be enough for everyone. Maybe I should ask Zora to expand the area.”The moment those words left his mouth, Abigail almost burst into laughter right t
616: Warnings
They didn’t drag things out.Once the decision was made, Kai stood up first, dusting his hands lightly as if he had just finished a minor task instead of restructuring the entire power balance of the area. Abigail and Emily followed without needing to be told, and the others naturally trailed behind, all eyes shifting toward the corner where the five old men still sat tied up like badly packed goods.The moment the group approached, the old men stiffened slightly.Not out of defiance but caution because they didn’t know what was coming next.Kai stopped in front of them, looking down with a neutral expression, then tilted his head slightly. “Comfortable?”No one answered.Good.He nodded once like that silence confirmed something, then gestured lazily toward Emily. “Release them.”Emily didn’t move immediately. Instead, she stepped forward slowly, her gaze calm but sharp as it swept across each of them, and for a brief second, the pressure they felt wasn’t from Kai anymore, it was fr
615: Setting the Pillars
The atmosphere shifted after Kai finished explaining everything, not abruptly, but steadily, like a room slowly filling with weight as every piece of information settled into place.No one interrupted this time or joked or brushed anything aside, because now they understood the scale of what was happening, and more importantly, what was coming next.The portal wasn’t just a problem.It was the beginning of something far worse.And for the first time since arriving, the room felt united, not by convenience or temporary alignment, but by necessity.Selene was the first to break the silence. “So if we don’t spread this information, more people will walk into this blindly.”Kai nodded. “Exactly. And they won’t all get lucky like you did.”Liang leaned forward slightly. “Then we don’t wait. We send word out immediately.”“We don’t just send word,” Darius added calmly. “We make sure it reaches people who matter. Not everyone will believe something like this.”Allen, who had been quiet until
614: Too Many Familiar Unfamiliar Faces
Kai didn’t try to hide it this time, he was genuinely happy.And it shows in his face, not with the lazy smirk or sarcastic half-amused version of him everyone was used to, but actual relief mixed with excitement as he led the Immortal Forging Sect into the barrier, waving them in like someone finally bringing home backup that made sense.“Come in, come in,” he said, motioning casually. “You’ll like it here, minimal death, occasional chaos, good scenery if you ignore the tied-up idiots over there.”Liang snorted. “You always find a way to make things sound normal.”“They are normal,” Kai replied without missing a beat. “This is my peaceful life now.”Abigail, who had followed them in, folded her arms. “If this is peaceful, I don’t want to see what you call trouble.”Kai glanced at her. “You already did. You just enjoyed it too much.”She didn’t respond.Which meant he was right.Emily stood slightly behind, observing quietly as always, her gaze sweeping over the newcomers with calm in
613: Familiar Faces
Hours passed quietly after Kai’s dramatic retreat, the barrier settling into its usual rhythm again, cultivation on one side, silence on the other, and the occasional groan from the tied-up elders who were still trying to process how their lives had taken such a turn. The calm didn’t last forever though, because sometime later, the sky shifted slightly, and the distant hum of something massive cutting through the air pulled everyone’s attention upward.It wasn’t subtle or quiet.A large ship descended slowly, its structure solid and refined, carrying a presence that wasn’t just power, but craftsmanship, and right at its center, clear as day, was the crest.The Immortal Forging Sect.Kai stepped out the moment he saw it, his earlier laziness gone in an instant, and Abigail followed closely behind him, both of them already smiling before the ship even fully landed. There was no tension in them this time, no calculation, just genuine anticipation, and that alone made the atmosphere fee
