Chapter 71: Eccentric Old Monster
Shen Kai was in a terrible mood. The order from the higher-ups in his sect was to be as low-key as possible while exploring the mysterious world fragment.
But who could have foreseen that that weirdo Mu Ran would discover it?
Shen Kai hadn’t believed a single word that came out of his mouth at the time Mu Ran was explaining how he had discovered the portal by a ’coincidence’.
He hadn’t had much of a chance to test that guy, but Mu Ran’s behavior reeked of a certain type of idiocy that he could never think of as genuine.
No one in the world of cultivation can be such a happy-go-lucky idiot, especially not a young man cultivating two paths of power at once, just like Shen Kai. The pressure his cultivation base left on Shen Kai’s perception was no laughing matter, considering how low his actual cultivation was.
Not to mention, this Mu Ran was a person who could walk through the layers of protection that surrounded the gateway to the fragmented world. Every cultivator before him had been fooled by those protective mechanisms.
Yet, Mu Ran had not only forced his way through the barriers they had set up to repel investigators, he had even disabled more than half of them somehow in the process.
Shen Kai hadn’t had the time to examine the damages, but he could sense the existence of the portal from far away even after escaping from there. The bothersome bugs from foreign sects that had been snooping around in this area for the last few days would all come rushing to it, he was sure.
Thinking about the consequences, Shen Kai’s heart ached.
