Chen Kai was on top of the Scorpion's corpse seeing the group of people below him with a small smile but the three of them saw him with surprise
The young man has white skin, he wears red clothes with a silver and golden symbol that has two golden feathers making an x on the right side of his chest, the young man has long blue hair tied in a ponytail and blue eyes he has a thin body and a pretty young face he must be around 17 years old, the young man has a sword on his back and a couple of daggers hanging at both sides of his waist
The oldest one of the two young women was attractive and just like the other one with pale skin, shoulder-length purple hair, and dark blue eyes, her figure was slim but curvy, she must be around 22 years old. She wears a long red dress with the same feathers symbol on the left side of her chest, at first sight, she doesn't seem to be armed
The last one, the youngest of the young women was pretty as well, she seemed to be around 18 years old, she had a curvy body slightly better than the oldest one, her eyes were golden just like her hair that she tied in a ponytail, she wears the same style of dress as the other young woman with the symbol in the left side, she as the young man has a sword but she has it hanging in her waist
' Same symbol on the chest, they must be from a sect, maybe the presence I felt before didn't come from a city but a sect ' Chen Kai thought while he scanned their clothes ' I don't recognize the symbols in their chests at all, just where am I? '
Meanwhile, the young man thought seeing him ' From where he did come? And why does he think that the Scorpion is his? If the Scorpion died here is part of our Heavenly Feathers' sect no one else besides us has right over it ' The young man begins to frown seeing him, but then he notices something that makes him nervous ' No way, he is a Half-Step Spiritual Enhancement state cultivator, then only sister Lin can take him down '
The other two young women were in a daze seeing Chen Kai, especially the one who looked older she seemed to be enchanted, not by his power but by his appearance, they had never seen anyone like him before to them he was very handsome with his unique onyx eyes, a very fit and strong body, and that long two-colored hair that gives him a savage look, even his clothes were something that they haven't seen before
Then the youngest woman says with a smiling face " Excuse me, what do you mean with get yours? Was it you who killed the Scorpion? "
Chen Kai keeps his small smile and says " Yes, I killed him recently, so, I'm sorry this thing is mine "
The three of them looked at Chen Kai with surprised expressions then the young man pointed at Chen Kai with an angered expression and yelled " No way that's true! You are lying! "
As the young man yelled the oldest young woman noticed that maybe Chen Kai wasn't lying, so she thought ' He must be telling the truth, he is covered in the Scorpion's blood, besides, he is even injured, and not only that he seems to have been stung by it, how is it possible that he is still alive after that, not even a Spiritual Enhancement cultivator in the Advanced State could withstand that poison without consequences '
Chen Kai sees the young man with a grin and says " Believe whatever you want, but that doesn't change the fact that I will take what is mine "
The young man grits his teeth in anger and yells again " What did you just say?! "
Then the oldest young woman finally reacts and yells at the young man with a frowning expression " Wuhan! Shut up and let me deal with this "
The young man named Wuhan turns to see her with surprise then he nods and takes a couple of steps back saying " Alright, sister Lin "
The woman named Lin turns to see Chen Kai this time making a very friendly smile " Maybe you don't know this, but this is the Heavenly Feathers sect territory, any beast that roams around here has been brought with the sole purpose of being used by the sect members "
Chen Kai makes a confused face as he whispers " Heavenly Feathers Sect... " He tried to remember something that could make him remember something about a sect named like that, but no matter how hard he tried it seemed that he never heard anything about it
" Haven't you heard about it? You seem confused " Finally the youngest woman spoke seeing Chen Kai with surprise
Chen Kai shakes his head slightly and says " No, I'm sorry, I'm kinda lost here, I was just roaming around when this thing attacked me, so I had to kill it "
The young woman makes a surprised smile then she yells " Oh! Then there is no problem, right sister?! " She sees Lin with a wide smile
Lin nods at her with a small smile " I guess not "
" What? " Wuhan sees both of them with disbelief
Both of them ignored Wuhan completely and Lin turned to see Chen Kai keeping her smiling face " Now, could you give us the Life Gem I know you have it, after all, this thing's head is wide open, I promise you I will give you a worthy reward for it "
Chen Kai hesitated seeing how friendly the women were, but the hostility from the guy named Wuhan convinced him that they weren't planning anything against him, so " ....Alright " He took the small brown bag from his waist to then opened it and took out the Life Gem
Lin extended her left hand and received the Life Gem from Chen Kai " Thank you " She said with an amicable smile then she put the Life Gem on a ring on her right hand and *SWOOSH* The Life Gem disappeared
Seeing that, Chen Kai couldn't help to feel a little sorrow, after all, he couldn't longer use Space Rings, and thanks to that he no longer had the Spiritual Energy to use them
Lin then turns to see him and says " By the way, my name is Lang Lin, this girl over here is my youngest martial sister Yuan Ning, and this guy is Fang Wuhan "
" My name is Chen Kai " Chen Kai said with a smile and a slight nod
" Hello " Said Yuan Ning with a cheerful expression but " Tch! " Fang Wuhan clicks his tongue in annoyance, both women saw him with visible irritation, but they didn't tell him anything
Chen Kai ignores Fang Wuhan after all, this wasn't anything to him. Chen Kai sees Lang Lin and says " Can you tell me about the reward? "
Lang Lin was a little surprised by Chen Kai's direct attitude, she had never dealt with someone like that before, so she couldn't help to smile wryly " O-Okay, I will pay you when we are back in the sect, but first, let us retrieve the Scorpion's stinger "
" We seriously are going to take this guy with us? " Fang Wuhan said with a surprised expression seeing both women
" I don't see the problem " Said Yuan Ning with a happy expression as she eyed Chen Kai's direction
Lang Lin turns to see Fang Wuhan with a serious expression and says " Wuhan, as I said before I will reward him for killing the Scorpion, something that neither of us could do without putting our lives at risk "
Fang Wuhan makes a surprised expression and rebukes " But sister Lin... " but Lang Lin cuts him mid-sentence by saying " Not buts, Wuhan, we will do as I say "
" ... " Fang Wuhan stays silent but he nods hiding his frowning face
" Come on let's go, the sect isn't so far from here, you don't mind do you? " Yuan Ning as she smiled sweetly at Chen Kai
Chen Kai turns to see her and smiles then he says " No, I don't have a problem "
" Great, then let's go " Said Lang Lin with a beautiful smile, and she and Yuan Ning walked side by side with Chen Kai who was smiling wryly
At the sight of that Fang Wuhan was gritting his teeth with anger but he didn't say anything he just walked calmly behind them
They walked through the forest for minutes even hours and still there it wasn't any signs from the sect but at least they were walking on a path now, so it shouldn't be so far now, At that time Chen Kai couldn't help to ask again " Can I ask you something? where exactly we are? " he said Seeing Lang Lin at his left
Lang Lin Couldn't help to giggle " Hehe, you are completely lost, aren't you? " Then she says with a smile " We are on the outskirts of the Jiaojiang Empire, the Heavenly Feathers Sect is one of the three biggest sects of the region "
Chen Kai looks a little confused and whispers " The Jiaojiang Empire? " And as much as he thought about it, he couldn't remember hearing about the Jiaojiang Empire ' Where am I? '
Lang Lin saw his confused face and asked " It's something wrong? "
Chen Kai turns to see her with a wry smile and says " I think I will need to gather more information, I think I still don't know where to go from here "
" Don't worry, I will give you a map inside the sect " Said Yuan Ning cheerfully so Chen Kai turned to see her with a smile and said " Thanks "
The group walked more and finally after a half hour they arrived " We are finally here " Said Yaun Ning with enthusiasm
' So this is the Heavenly Feathers Sect, I haven't seen another sect apart from the Divine Sect ' Thought Chen Kai seeing the place
The group walked to a big red gate where a middle-aged man wearing white clothes was standing, the man had long brown hair, a short beard of the same color, and blue eyes, he as well as the same symbol of the feather carved in his clothes. The middle-aged man saw them approach with a smile but the moment he saw Chen Kai he saw him in confusion
" Teacher Shen, we are back " Said Lang Lin as she walked toward the man
" You three have returned very soon, I thought it would take you longer to find and kill that Brown Scorpion " The man said with a half smile then he turned to see Chen Kai and said " And by the way, who is he? "
Lang Lin was about to respond but Yuan Ning spoke first " His name is Chen Kai, and he was the one who killed the Scorpion all by himself, Sister Lin promised to reward him after he gave us the materials we needed "
Teacher Shen looked surprised, and he inspected Chen Kai ' He is in a Half-Step Spiritual Enhancement state, how he managed to kill the scorpion without getting stung, that's why I sent Lang Lin only she will be able to do such a feat... wait, is that a stung injury? Then why is he still alive? '
Teacher Shen Was in a tough until Lang Lin spoke again " Yes, he did teacher Shen, so I was wondering if you could give him the Life Gems that you promised me before " Teacher Shen, Fang Wuhan, and even Yuan Ning turned to see her with shock then...
" You can't do that Sister Lin! Those Life Gems will be very useful to your cultivation! They aren't something that you can gift to an outsider like him! " Fang Wuhan yelled with confusion as he pointed at Chen Kai, Yuan Ning stayed silently seeing them but teacher Shen said " I agree with Wuhan this time, you should use those Life Gems in yourself, that way you would break that bottleneck of yours "
Lang Lin shakes her head keeping a smiling face then she says " I don't deserve the reward, Teacher Shen, I wasn't the one who killed the Scorpion, so please give him the reward "
Teacher Shen smiles wryly and says " You will never change " Then he takes a small bag from his pocket and throws it into Chen Kai's direction who catches it with his right hand
" There are 30 High-Quality Life Gems in that bag use it as you please " Said Teacher Shen with a small smile
Chen Kai smiles at him, but then he does something that surprises all of them " Here " he throws the small bag in Lang Lin's direction, Lang Lin catches the bag by instinct, and she sees Chen Kai with confusion " What are you doing? " She said
Chen Kai smiles and says " I don't need those things, my cultivation technique works differently, but instead why don't you treat me something to eat? I'm dying from hunger here "
Lang Lin sees him with a complicated smile then Teacher Shen begins to laugh " Hahaha, what a strange kid, please come with us, I will be the one who treats you to the food "
Chen Kai grins hearing that then he says " By the way you know where is the city of Zhihao? I want to go there as soon as possible " When Chen Kai said that all of them saw him with surprise then Teacher Shen said " Why do you want to go there? Isn't that place a bit far away? it must be at least 6,000 miles from here "
Chen Kai opens his eyes wide with surprise then he whispers " I'm 6,000 miles far from the Chen Clan? How I'm supposed to go there? " Chen Kai was in a daze thinking about how to go back home, he still had hope that his parents had returned, after all, 2 years had passed they should have returned in that time, right?

Meanwhile far away from there in the Side Sect
Fannel walked out of the cave and when he came out he saw the White Tiger seeing the horizon not moving at all
Fannel saw him like that and as he walked toward him he said with a grinning face " What is bothering you this time? "
The White Tiger turns to see him for a few seconds then turns to see the horizon once again " Some have broken through the dimensional wall "
Fannel turns to see him in confusion and says " What? Someone has descended again? who was it? " Then he turns to see the horizon making a serious expression " I can't feel anything, are you sure? "
The White Tiger nods slightly and says " Their presences disappeared so fast even I was lucky to be able to detect them, furthermore they weren't part of the Sect "
Fannel makes a surprised expression and says " But I thought no one else besides the elders, you, and the other three legendary beasts could break it, how it's that possible? "
" It seems that it isn't like that anymore, some have descended, and it could be troublesome they must know about our presence here " Said the White Tiger with a serious voice
Fannel hits his left palm with his right fist and with a smirk he says " Ha! Then they are just a bunch of cowards, let them come, and I will show them the meaning of power! "
The White Tiger shakes his head again making Fannel turn to see him with a serious face " You have to stay here until the chosen ones need you to teach them, that's our orders if some from the upper realms come here to kill the chosen ones, that monstrous brat will come to hunt them down, no matter who is it they aren't a match for him "
Fannel opens his eyes wide with surprise then he says " How could I forget about him?! Even the elders respect him, and he as well can descend at will, but... " Fannel makes a serious expression and pauses for a moment
" Yes, the problem is that that monstrous brat is unbound from the Elders' orders the little jerk only obeys my father It's a shame that he left the sect a few decades ago, now if that monstrous brat comes he will judge the chosen ones more strictly, and maybe some of them will die by his hand as many have died before, their best choice is to follow the rules and nothing will happen to them if he descends " The White Tiger said with a serious voice as he watches the horizon
" Damn it, not only they brought trouble to themselves they brought trouble to the brats if I feel the slightly different energy, I will go to kill them " Fannel says with anger seeing the horizon
