Chapter 4249
At that moment, Kai unintentionally revealed the token of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty to Gu Tianzhao, who instantly grasped its significance!
However, before Gu Tianzhao could utter a word, a deafening explosion erupted!
The fire dragon scroll detonated, and the hunchbacked old man furiously emerged from the remnants of the scroll!
In that instant, the old man was charred black, his clothes tattered and torn, resembling a beggar!
“Kid, I’m going to kill you!”
The hunchbacked old man’s eyes glowed bright red, his teeth clenched tightly as he aimed a furious punch at Kai!
As an elder of the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect and a cultivator at the First Grade of the Mahayana Realm, he was humiliated by a sneak attack, which only fueled his rage!
Meanwhile, Kai showed no concern for the hunchbacked elder’s assault; disdain flickered across his face!
Golden light radiated from Kai’s form as the Undying Golden Body enveloped him gradually!
Witnessing this transformation, Mu Qiufeng froze in disbelief!
“Elder Li, stop!”
Mu Qiufeng sprang forward to intercept the hunchbacked elder!
“Patriarch, don’t hold me back; I need to settle this score today!”
The hunchbacked elder was frantic!
“Elder Li, please calm down. This brat’s background is not simple; we should ascertain his identity first.”
Mu Qiufeng firmly blocked the elder’s path!
The hunchbacked elder shot Kai a glance, noticing that Kai was now clad in golden armor, his expression a mix of awe and contempt!
Realizing the situation, the hunchbacked elder hesitated, understanding that Kai was not just an ordinary opponent!
How could a sixth-grade cultivator from the Transition Realm possess such audacity?
It suggested he had the backing of a formidable clan!
Provoking such a powerful entity would spell disaster for the Heaven Beheading Dharma Sect; even if they managed to escape, death could still await them!
“If you dare to provoke me again, I will peel off your skin and bury you in this ocean!”
Kai warned the hunchbacked elder!
“You…”
The hunchbacked elder seethed at Kai’s insolence!
Yet, he was restrained by Mu Qiufeng, unable to act!
“Calm down; this kid’s identity is definitely significant. Let me inquire first.”
“If he turns out to be inconsequential, it won’t be too late for you to retaliate.”
Mu Qiufeng urged the hunchbacked elder!
Reluctantly, the hunchbacked elder nodded, realizing that he had to heed Mu Qiufeng’s words despite his anger!
“Fellow Daoist, my apologies for our Elder’s impetuousness. May I ask what your identity is? You are quite young yet carry such a strong demeanor?”
Mu Qiufeng addressed Kai, his voice calm yet probing!
Kai merely cast a cold glance at Mu Qiufeng, his expression clearly one of contempt!
Mu Qiufeng was momentarily taken aback. At that moment, Gu Tianzhao interjected, “Patriarch Mu, to clarify, we have come to this sea primarily to accompany your son for training; your son remains inside for safety reasons.”
“Oh? To have the Gu Sect Master of the Two Yi Sect refer to him as ‘Gongzi’, he must be quite formidable, wouldn’t you agree?”
Mu Qiufeng inquired!
“Patriarch Mu, are you familiar with the Xiao Imperial Dynasty?”
Gu Tianzhao replied with a faint smile!
Mu Qiufeng’s expression shifted, his demeanor growing tense as he nodded, “Of course, the Xiao Imperial Dynasty is the most powerful force in the Western Continent, and even in the Celestial Realm, only a handful of clans could rival it.”
“Hahaha, it’s good that you’re aware of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty!” Gu Tianzhao laughed heartily!
“What? Could it be that this is the prince of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty?”
Mu Qiufeng’s eyes widened in astonishment!
“That’s right; he is indeed the imperial son of the Xiao Imperial Dynasty, and we are merely here to collect our due.” Gu Tianzhao confirmed with a nod!
