59: Chapter 59 You want to kill me? With your intelligence, you'd never succeed in your next life.

On the other side, the group that escaped the dungeon finally stopped in an open space.

"Brother, what exactly did you see?" the panting scholar behind him asked, stepping forward.

Kang Dalei glanced at the scholar, then scanned the puzzled faces of the group, wiped the sweat from his face, and said, "I don't know either. I just heard someone inside telling me to get lost, so I left."

"You sure as hell know how to listen to advice!" The group was speechless.

So, all that righteous posturing earlier was just fake.

"Big brother, he's such a coward. I don't want to like him anymore."

"Be good, little sister."

"Brother, do you have any idea what we should do next?" the scholar asked again, clearly treating Kang Dalei as their leader.

Kang Dalei pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know."

"By the way, where are we?" a man in green robes stepped out from the crowd and asked.

Only then did everyone realize that they seemed to have run outside the borders of Wuzhou.

"It looks like this is one of the Seven Great Passes of the World."

Looking down from where they were, a massive fortress standing dozens of zhang high appeared directly in front of them.

"The western giant fortress, Xibai Pass. I heard it's the pass guarded by the White Elephant King, one of the current Seven Kings of the World. How did we end up here?"

The scholar spoke up again, but there was a clear look of admiration on his face.

"You seem to really yearn for the God Venerate." Kang Dalei noticed the change in the scholar and couldn't help but lean in and whisper cheekily.

The scholar was stunned at first, but then revealed a smile and said, "Who doesn't yearn to be a God Venerate? It's just that for ordinary people like us, becoming a God Venerate is probably very difficult."

"What's so difficult about it? As long as we obtain the qualifications to enter Yuanchu Mountain, we have just as much of a chance to become a God Venerate." A woman in a long robe stepped out from the crowd.

She scanned the group and finally fixed her gaze on Kang Dalei. "However, those who practice body refinement have no chance of becoming a God Venerate."

"Body refinement?" The woman's words surprised everyone.

The woman in the long robe smiled slightly, a sly smile appearing on her delicate face. "If I'm not mistaken, when this brother made his move just now, he used the method of entering the Sha through body refinement, right?"

The woman walked up to Kang Dalei, looked him up and down carefully, and said in a rather blunt tone, "Body refinement has no future in this lifetime. Are you interested in becoming a guard at my Qian Mansion?"

"Not interested." Kang Dalei unhappily swatted away the hand the woman had placed on his shoulder and turned his gaze to the scholar. "Now that we've escaped, let's go our separate ways. We'll meet again someday."

"One month, twenty monster cores." Just as Kang Dalei was speaking to the scholar, the woman surnamed Qian immediately held up a finger and said leisurely.

Kang Dalei's attention was immediately drawn to her.

"I am a God Venerate, you know."

"Hmm?"

"At least one hundred high-grade monster cores per month."

The group shook their heads. "Big brother, he's so shameless. I hate him so much." "Be good, little sister."

The woman surnamed Qian was also speechless. She had realized back in the dungeon that Kang Dalei's strength was not bad, but she hadn't expected this guy to be even thicker-skinned.

After pondering for a while, Qian Jin finally nodded and said, "One hundred monster cores a month isn't impossible, but I don't know yet if your strength is worth that price."

Kang Dalei curled his lip. "If you thought I wasn't up to it, you wouldn't be trying to recruit me."

Reaching out his palm, Kang Dalei winked at Qian Jin.

Qian Jin was confused.

Kang Dalei reminded her, "Give me the monster cores."

Qian Jin was shocked. "You want payment before you've even started working?"

"That's right. I'm afraid that if I work for you for a month, you'll withhold my wages. For God Venerate Families like yours, wouldn't you just sue me for malicious wage collection?"

"Give me twenty now, and the remaining eighty after the month is up."

Qian Jin was speechless to the point of death; how could such a person exist? Was there no sense of trust between people? Besides, as a prominent family, would she really withhold a few monster cores from him?

"No, you have to give me at least fifty. I'm afraid you'll scam me."

"You!" Qian Jin was furious. "I am the young mistress of the Qian Family; would I scam you?"

"Well, who knows?"

"Thirty, no more. Who knows if you'll take the monster cores and run."

Qian Jin was not like that silly girl Ruan Mi; this girl was as cunning as a monkey.

And then she got scammed. Who could have known that Kang Dalei wouldn't even let thirty monster cores go?

"Scamming me for monster cores, huh?"

"Going to the bathroom, huh?"

"Malicious wage collection, huh?"

"Since I was little, no one has ever dared to scam me, Qian Jin, out of anything."

"Which way did that scammer run off to?" Qian Jin grabbed the collar of the scholar nearby and asked furiously.

The scholar swallowed hard and shook his head nervously. "I don't know."

"If you don't know, then go to hell." Qian Jin slapped the scholar's chest, and in an instant, he went flying backwards.

"Find him! You must find this scammer! Whoever can find that scammer, I, Qian Jin, promise to give them a low-grade magical treasure." Qian Jin roared, and everyone's eyes lit up.

"Big brother, he's a scammer, I want to teach him a lesson." "Be good, little sister."

"Don't worry, I know tracking spells."

After using the "bathroom break" excuse to escape, Kang Dalei returned to the Wuzhou border. He had almost forgotten his real mission out of fear. He was here to save Liu Qiyue, not to run away.

However, facing so many high-combat-power individuals, he still had to plan things out.

"If I could save Little Mimi first, that would count as an extra helper." Kang Dalei thought as he walked, but immediately dismissed the idea. Saving that two-faced traitor—what if she stabbed him in the back? He had to be on guard against that.

"Brothers, follow me. I know all the details about that bastard."

Kang Dalei, who was walking through the forest, suddenly heard footsteps, followed by a group of burly men walking over from the side. The person leading the way and speaking was none other than Ruan Mi.

At the moment Kang Dalei looked up towards the source of the sound, Ruan Mi, who was aggressive and gnashing her teeth, also saw him.

The two locked eyes, and Kang Dalei was the first to move, taking a few steps back.

"Mi, Mimi, long time no see. You're out."

The moment Ruan Mi saw Kang Dalei, her whole face lit up with a smile. She laughed exceptionally heartily, loudly, and resoundingly.

"That's right, I'm out."

"Brothers, he is Kang Dalei, the human genius, an eighteen-year-old God Venerate." Ruan Mi suddenly pointed at Kang Dalei and shouted loudly to the people beside her.

Upon hearing her words, the group was all energized. "An eighteen-year-old human God Venerate, truly a genius."

After discovering Ruan Mi's abnormal behavior, Kang Dalei didn't hesitate at all and turned to run. He should have known this two-faced traitor would betray him.

"Little Mimi, you two-faced traitor, I really misjudged you."

Ruan Mi snorted coldly. "Misjudged me? That's right. I want you dead."

Ruan Mi was gnashing her teeth just looking at Kang Dalei now. This bastard actually dared not to come save her, and even when he did, he dared to run away. She would make this bastard pay the price.

"Human geniuses, we love them the most."

Just as Kang Dalei started running, three figures immediately chased after him. Kang Dalei took one look and couldn't help but increase his speed even more.

"Want to kill me? With your IQ, you won't stand a chance in your next life."
