Chapter 427 Extremely Reckless
After a moment, Gao Bucong composed himself and said excitedly, "Fellow Daoist, since we are both members of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, we should care about all the loose cultivators in the world. Let's join forces!"
"Join forces?" Ye Kang was completely bewildered.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended. I'm communicating with you telepathically."
Gao Bucong's eyes sharpened, and he cautiously transmitted his voice, "This island is strange! Many rogue cultivators have mysteriously disappeared. I've been secretly investigating and have some initial suspects!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's expression became even more peculiar.
"Are you investigating this matter? What does it have to do with you?"
"That's not how it works! Now that I've joined the Loose Cultivator Alliance, I must follow its teachings. All the loose cultivators in the world are my brothers! Now that I know so many loose cultivators are suffering, how can I stand idly by!"
He clenched his fist, his expression extremely serious: "As a rogue cultivator, I have suffered countless scornful looks. Those sects and families have never treated me like a human being! I finally managed to open up to the Nine Leaves stage, so I should use this body to do my best for all rogue cultivators in the world!"
"Is this your reason for joining the Loose Cultivator Alliance?"
Ye Kang was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
It's not that I don't admire this spirit of selflessness, but I feel that he was probably being misled.
When the Blue Sea Golden Locust was captured, which of those beachcombers wasn't a rogue cultivator?
But Helian Yingjie had no intention of helping the rogue cultivators, and at least didn't care about their lives.
If the Helian family, a high-ranking member of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, is still like this, it's clear that the organization isn't as great as Gao Bucong imagined.
“I naturally admire your righteousness, but I have other things to attend to and cannot help you.”
Ye Kang didn't want to pay him any attention and turned to leave, but Gao Bucong seemed unwilling to give up and quickly ran over, saying, "Fellow Daoist, wait a moment! Aren't you also a member of the Loose Cultivator Alliance? We are all alone, and helping each other should be fundamental. How can you remain indifferent!"
Ye Kang frowned and said, "Besides me, there should be other rogue cultivators on the island, from the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, right?"
"Of course, I've also sought out those fellow Daoists, but..."
"But they are all like me, with no interest in searching for unfamiliar rogue cultivators."
Ye Kang spoke without any politeness, and Gao Bucong's expression immediately turned bitter, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he stammered, "This... I believe they must have their reasons... As long as I try harder, I will definitely be able to persuade them!"
Seeing Gao Bucong's determined gaze, Ye Kang smiled and said, "As a member of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, I understand Brother Gao's thoughts. However, I do have urgent business to attend to, and I am truly unable to help you until I find the head of the Chu family, Chu Dayou."
"You're looking for Chu Dayou? Well, I do have some leads!"
"Ok?"
A glint of light flashed in Ye Kang's eyes: "What clue?"
"Beishan Mine!"
Gao Bucong took two steps forward, his expression cautious.
"To be honest, based on my investigation, those missing rogue cultivators most likely went to the North Mountain Mine. It's the most difficult place to go on the entire Red Island, guarded by experts from the three major families in shifts. If Chu Dayou wants to avoid assassins, that's the safest place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the system notification rang out.
【Ding】
[Task Issued: Fellow Independent Cultivators]
[Mission Requirements: Investigate the North Mountain Mine and uncover the mystery of the missing rogue cultivator]
[Task Reward: Comprehension]
Ye Kang's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected to trigger a mission, and now he had no choice but to go.
He immediately showed interest and said, "Brother Gao's righteousness is admirable. Since the clues match, I can accompany you on this trip."
"You really want to!"
Gao Bucong was extremely excited, and his eyes were even a little teary.
"Finally, I realized that there are still people like me within the Loose Cultivator Alliance! The other fellow cultivators, because they have the Loose Cultivator Alliance as their backer, are fearless and don't worry at all that the disappearance of a Loose Cultivator will affect them! But justice is clear, can we just stand by and watch just because we have a backer!"
Gao Bucong clenched his fists, his tone filled with anger and disappointment.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset and said, "There's no time to lose! We need to quickly devise a plan on how to infiltrate the Beishan Mine!"
"A plan? Is it even necessary?"
Ye Kang shook his head, then with a thought, activated the Thousand Faces Transformation, transforming into a different appearance in front of Gao Bucong.
It's a low-budget version of Chu Fanjiang.
Because Ye Kang did not store Chu Fanjiang's appearance, the Thousand Faces Transformation didn't look very similar and was even a bit ugly.
But it's even more effective at confusing people.
Ye Kang said in a rough voice, "From now on, just call me Chu Kaishan."
Gao Bucong's eyes showed astonishment; he couldn't see any trace of Ye Kang's change at all!
What incredible skill in disguise!
"Brother Kaishan... what are you going to do..."
"I'll go straight to the North Mountain Mine and cause a ruckus. Once I've drawn the strong guards over, you can go and find them."
"Is it really that simple and brutal! There are at least a dozen Nine-Leaf Realm experts guarding the mine, and the heads of the three major families are all Grandmasters. This is too dangerous!"
"Don't worry, just watch from a distance. Sometimes, fists are more effective than brains."
Perhaps it's because he joined the Tyrant Whale Sect, but Ye Kang now finds brute force really useful.
No wonder Chu Fanjiang doesn't like to use his brain; he simply doesn't need to!
Before Gao Bucong could react, he saw Ye Kang already rushing towards Beishan.
He gritted his teeth and roared, "Damn it! How could I be such a scoundrel! This brother is far more courageous and fearless than me, and I'm the one hesitating here!"
He looked desperate and immediately followed.
The Beishan Mine is a top secret on Hongdao Island. No one is allowed to get close to it, and there are many patrol posts.
Ye Kang made no attempt to hide anything, laughing loudly, "Chu Kaishan is here! Where is Chu Dayou!"
"Who dares to trespass on the mine!"
Suddenly, several figures landed, but before they could see anything clearly, Ye Kang punched them one by one, and they were able to enjoy a good night's sleep.
Ye Kang continued arrogantly, "Where is Chu Dayou! I, Chu Kaishan, have come to avenge the grudge from back then! You stole my wife and seized my fertile land. I, Chu Kaishan, have been thinking about you day and night, and I wish I could tear you to pieces!"
"It's too exaggerated!"
Gao Bucong, who was hiding behind the scenes, was dumbfounded.
I thought to myself, "How come this guy is even more reckless than me!"
wrong!
That's incredibly reckless! How can anyone be so arrogant!
Sure enough, four more figures landed simultaneously, their four nine-petaled lotus flowers blooming high above Ye Kang, making him look like an ant.
One of the middle-aged men, with a small mustache, stood with his hands behind his back and said disdainfully, "Where did this madman come from, daring to spout such nonsense? What kind of heroic figure is Patriarch Chu? How could he do such a despicable thing?"
Ye Kang smirked and said, "You can know a person's face but not their heart. Do you know Chu Dayou very well? Are you so sure what I said isn't true?"
"You scoundrel, you've trespassed into the North Mountain, you do have some skill. Leave now, and I won't hold you responsible." The mustachioed man said coldly, his hands behind his back.
Ye Kang chuckled: "I, Chu Kaishan, will not leave until I find Chu Dayou. The fact that you are blocking my way only proves that I have come to the right place."
