The next day, the search began to expand outside the city. But there was one place in the city, which was full of soldiers guarding a small area. That place is where An Rui disappeared, An Zhou is standing there.

He hadn't been home since yesterday, when he heard the news that his daughter had been kidnapped. He almost had a heart attack, he immediately mobilized all the city soldiers to search for his daughter.

Minute by minute, his face continued to grow frantic and pale. As the ruler of the city, he knew what the world was like, there were many possibilities of his daughter being kidnapped by criminals or even strangers.

He knew that bad things would definitely happen to his daughter. If he still hadn't been found, let alone if he was kidnapped by demons or monsters.

His mind was so frantic, he asked the cultivators to come faster. Luckily they agreed, at least he was calmer.

The investigators were searching for information from the scene, but there were still no results. Right now, An Zhou was thinking hard about finding his daughter.

"Son, where did you go" An Zhou was really scared, he was his only daughter and resembled his late wife.

While daydreaming, someone shouted. "Hey there's something in the sky!" The soldiers finally looked up, and they all cried out too.

"Cultivator!!!" They all immediately bowed in respect, An Zhou was startled and immediately looked up at the sky.

There was indeed someone descending from the sky, wearing a mask and black clothes. An Zhou also bowed, it was an unwritten rule that mortals should pay their respects to cultivators.

They were all surprised and happy, seeing the cultivator descend from the sky so delicately. "Greetings great cultivator!!!" They spoke simultaneously, creating an echo.

An Zhou actually thought that the cultivator was an acquaintance of his. The problem was, his acquaintance didn't wear a mask and couldn't fly. "Who is this cultivator?" An Zhou wondered.

However, he saw this opportunity to ask for help. "Greetings Mr. Cultivator, I am An Zhou the ruler of this city. I would like to-" The cultivator stopped him, An Zhou immediately shut up.

"I know, you lost your daughter. Let me help you find it" said the cultivator, an zhou immediately bowed and thanked him.

"Thank you, Mr. Cultivator, if you can find him. I'll do anything!" He said gratefully.

Behind the mask, Zhang Kai sighed. 'So this is what it's like to be a cultivator, they are so respected. It's wonderful' he thought.

Zhang Kai deliberately wore a mask, he had a very strong reason. That was identity, he had experienced being wanted by millions of people.

Because his face was plastered everywhere, he was easy to find and became everyone's target. Because of trauma and to be careful, he deliberately wore a mask to cover his identity.

Zhang Kai came to this place, to look for traces of An Rui. He walked around the place, while everyone watched him respectfully.

"This is it" Zhang Kai looked at his tracks, there were drag marks. With his absolute domain, he could sense anything within his distance, with his body as the fulcrum.

The shape of his domain was round, he could even sense underground up to 20 meters. This was a great help to him, he was almost invincible when using this power.

Zhang Kai immediately walked over quickly, "Quickly follow!" An Zhou shouted, but Zhang Kai was too fast for them to follow.

Meanwhile, An Rui was turning pale. She had not wanted to eat or drink since yesterday, so she no longer had the energy to talk more.

She thought that someone would rescue him that day. Turns out she was wrong, it's been a day and no one has rescued her yet.

She was getting scared, especially since the bandits kept staring at her with their perverted faces. It made her pray that someone would save her.

"I'm really bored, how about we play with this young lady" one of the bandits teased her, and the other bandits smiled.

"Let's just wait, if that guy doesn't come. We'll have a party."

"Hahaha, I hope no one saves her" The bandits grinned, giving An Rui a huge scare.

She continued to be teased, making him sit on the edge of the prison. So that she could survive, if they tried to do anything to him.

The door to one of the rooms opened, it was the bandit leader's room. He just woke up, "Give me some meat" His subordinate gave him the meat that was still warm.

He walked over to An Rui, "Open up" The bandit leader entered the cell, An Rui held back. As the bandit leader was aiming at him, in panic she looked for something to fight back with.

"No!!!" An Rui found a rock, and threw it at the bandit leader. She didn't dare open his eyes, but there was the sound of a stone falling.

"Damn it!!, I'm trying to be nice but you're like this!!!" It turned out that the bandit leader was hit by his throw, right on the head.

He immediately strangled her, "urghh!!!" An Rui tried to break free, but could not move at all. Her breathing became very difficult, because the bandit leader was strangling her tightly.

"Chief, there's an attack!" The bandit leader was startled, then released his stranglehold.

"Who's attacking!, Get ready!" They all quickly grabbed their weapons, then prepared to fight back.

Above the mouth of the cave, Zhang Kai gazed up at the sky. He saw the amazingly beautiful scenery from up here, he finally understood why his wife liked the scenery so much.

"If you were here, you would definitely be very happy" Zhang Kai smiled bitterly, he suddenly thought of his wife.

Zhang Kai looked down, there were two people standing guard in front of the cave mouth. "Time to work" Zhang Kai descended slowly.

The guards were surprised, they did not expect someone to come down from the sky. "Who are you!" They immediately pointed their weapons at him.

Zhang Kai did not pay them any mind, he was focused on sensing the trail from An Rui leading into the cave. "It should be you guys" he muttered.

The guards began to get restless, as Zhang Kai did not answer either of them. But one of the guards ventured to attack Zhang Kai.

"Hmmm" As soon as the bandit approached him, Zhang Kai flung out his hand and made the bandit fly away and destroy several trees at once.

"Damn it!!!, you're not dead are you" Zhang Kai floated over to him, the bandit was badly injured but still breathing.

"Thankfully, I have a promise to live better. As much as possible I will not kill anyone" Zhang Kai muttered gratefully, he did not want to become a monster that killed people like an ant.

Zhang Kai turned back around, the other bandit was scared to death that he was unable to stand up. "Even though I said to kill less, that doesn't mean I'm nice to people like you" Zhang Kai said with a cold stare.

He knew very well, that people like them would never repent. Moreover, he sensed the evil aura of the two bandits, he was very sensitive to someone who had killed and done evil.

Instantly, the bandits floated to the rocks and Zhang Kai sank into the rocks. "I will leave for breathing and one finger, if you survive that. I believe you've changed" Zhang Kai then walked into the cave.

But Zhang Kai paused for a moment, "I need a weapon" Zhang pulled out a large boulder and molded it into the size of chopsticks, he made dozens of chopsticks.

"This should be enough" He sensed that there were many people, so he had to be careful and prepare something.

Once he went deeper, sure enough, there were many bandits waiting for him. They attacked him furtively, of course Zhang Kai was able to take them out.

Their feet and hands had holes in them, caused by chopsticks made of stone weighing several tons. "I hope one of the bandits is a cultivator" Zhang Kai was eager to test his strength, whether it would affect the cultivator or not.

Going deeper, Zhang Kai continued to knock out many bandits until they were maimed. Then, he arrived at a large room with dozens of bandits waiting for him.

"Don't you dare come close, or I'll kill him" The bandit leader pointed his gun at An Rui's neck, he looked so scared.

Looking at an rui he sighed, he was grateful that she was still alive. He did this to repay Bai lan for helping him over the past few months.

The bandit leader grinned, as it turned out there were two bandits hiding behind the entrance. They were about to behead Zhang Kai, but stopped just a few centimeters short of his neck.

"I really hate someone who attacks me from behind!" Suddenly, an aura exploded from Zhang Kai's body, making everyone instantly shocked.

The entire room became filled with a terrifying aura, the two bandits who were about to attack him. They were immediately squeezed to death, everyone immediately dropped their weapons.

The figure in front of them was extremely terrifying, they trembled in fear. Some of them even vomited, Zhang Kai smiled bitterly.

He finally killed someone too, his emotions suddenly rising because of these bandits. He recalled the incident about the end of his and his wife's life, it was very painful for him.

Zhang suddenly darted into the middle of them, then restrained all the bandits. "Go behind the door, you will be safe there" An Rui nodded with a terrified face, he had never seen anything like it in his life.

"What should I do for you all?" Zhang Kai spoke while holding back his anger, but he instantly turned his head towards the entrance.
