Chapter 2809
Just as Kai was on the verge of making his move, a sudden breeze swept through, extinguishing the spirit fire that had been flickering in his palm.
Almost immediately, a figure descended gracefully from the sky, proclaiming, “Young one, refrain from fighting and killing in Jialing County, or you will face severe consequences.”
As the mysterious figure landed before him, Kai recognized it was none other than Lord Yan, the same person he had encountered earlier that day in the South Ring!
The presence of Lord Yan instantly weighed heavily on Kai, filling him with an undeniable pressure!
Yet, Kai managed to respond, “Lord Yan, it was the other party who initiated this conflict, attempting to rob and kill me. If I had been the one defeated, I might have lost my life…”
With a knowing smile, Lord Yan replied, “Even had you lost this battle, do you truly believe he could have taken your life?”
“Do you really think the regulations of Jialing County are merely for show? If a mere forbidden formation could act with impunity here, then the dignity of my Jialing County would have been utterly tarnished long ago…”
Upon hearing Lord Yan’s words, Kai quickly grasped the situation; it seemed that Lord Yan had been observing everything from the very beginning, fully aware of the unfolding events.
Even if Kai had been defeated, death would have eluded him, as Lord Yan would have intervened!
This realization sent a chill down Kai’s spine. The reason Lord Yan hadn’t intervened earlier was likely that he was assessing Kai’s abilities!
Realizing this, a cold sweat broke out on Kai’s forehead; it was evident that Lord Yan possessed a strength far surpassing his own!
This led Kai to contemplate the might of the Lord of Jialing County, raising concerns about just how powerful this county truly was!
If the Lord of Jialing County became greedy and sought after his Heavenly Thunder Fruit, Kai knew he would be in grave danger!
He feared that he wouldn’t have a chance to resist or escape from Jialing County at all!
Now, Kai regretted the humiliation he had inflicted on Shi Tieqiao and revealing the existence of his Heavenly Lightning Fruit!
“Lord Yan, Lord Yan, I was wrong, I was wrong…”
The man, realizing the gravity of the situation, hurriedly crawled over on his knees before Lord Yan!
Lord Yan shot a cold glance at the man and declared, “You have blatantly violated the rules, showing a lack of respect for Jialing County.”
“Since you hold my county in such disdain, do not participate in our Pill Master’s Meeting in Jialing County. Take your clan and leave, never to return!”
“If I catch any of your people entering Jialing County again, they will be killed without mercy…”
Lord Yan’s words sent the man crashing to the ground in despair; without participation in the Pill Master Meeting, their clan’s strength would plummet, leaving them vulnerable to rival pill-refining clans!
However, it was their own greed that led them to violate the rules of Jialing County!
This was a consequence of their own making…
The man stood up defiantly and then slowly disappeared into the depths of the alley!
“Young friend, your strength is indeed impressive!”
“But rest assured, within Jialing County, no one will be able to snatch what you possess; I can guarantee that.”
Lord Yan said with a subtle smile.
“Thank you, Lord Yan!” Kai replied gratefully.
“There’s no need for thanks; this is my duty, not just for you, but for everyone who enters my Jialing County.”
After delivering his words, Lord Yan gradually faded from view!
In that moment, Kai finally comprehended why Jialing County was so prosperous and filled with various forms of entertainment; after all, if one came here to engage in games of chance, their life was guaranteed, regardless of winning or losing!
Once Lord Yan had departed, Kai’s gaze swept over the dimly lit streets as he slowly stepped out of the alley!
With a cold glint in his eyes and a chill running down his face, Kai was resolute.
