Chapter 4286
“Thank you so much, Mr. Chen, thank you very much, Mr. Chen……”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Longhu hurriedly bowed deeply to Kai, desperation evident in his actions!
General Qian, not wanting to harm Longhu—his loyal companion for many years—retracted his hand.
“Mr. Chen, we have successfully reclaimed Fox Emperor City, and the Feng family has been eliminated. There have been no unusual activities in the last two days, so it should be safe now!”
General Qian reported as he walked alongside Kai.
“Thank you, General Qian,” Kai responded casually.
“It’s truly my honor to serve you, Mr. Chen,” General Qian replied, wiping the cold sweat from his brow.
“General Qian, where are the people from my Fox Imperial City? Why is it that all I see are your soldiers along the way?”
Bai Shao questioned General Qian.
“Well, when we took back the Fox Imperial City, there were very few beast races left; most were members of the Feng family or part of the Demon Sealing Alliance,” General Qian explained.
“It’s likely that when the city fell, many fled or were killed by the Feng Clan!”
Hearing this, Bai Qian felt a wave of sadness wash over her. As an empress, she had escaped while leaving a city full of her people behind, now uncertain of their fate.
If they had fled, that would be one thing, but if they had all perished, Bai Shao feared she would never be able to forgive herself.
“Don’t be disheartened. Take your time; I believe Fox Emperor City will thrive again…”
Kai said reassuringly, wrapping his arm around Bai Shao’s shoulders to comfort her gently.
Observing the connection between Kai and Bai Shao, General Qian quickly understood their relationship and chimed in, “Empress, even if people are gone, they can be found. I believe there will be many beasts seeking refuge soon.”
“Until Fox Imperial City stabilizes, I will ensure there are always guards present to protect its safety!”
Currently, General Qian was keenly aware that flattering Kai was more beneficial than boasting about his battle achievements; he needed Kai’s support in front of Emperor Xiao!
“I will also enlist the help of the Two Yi Sect and the Purple Flame Sect. I’m confident Fox Emperor City will soon regain its former glory.”
Kai tenderly stroked Bai Shao’s hair, acknowledging their emotional bond that had evolved beyond mere transactions.
At this point, with Kai at the seventh level of the Transition Realm, he no longer required Bai Shao’s protection. Moreover, their bloodlines had merged, eliminating the need for physical intimacy.
However, they maintained a relationship based on affection, not merely mutual benefits.
Bai Shao looked up at Kai and nodded vigorously.
Kai only spent two days in Fox Emperor City before setting off for Heavenly Demon Mountain.
Ji Yun accompanied Kai, while Fire Phoenix remained behind to assist Bai Shao in the development of Fox Emperor City, as Kai felt uneasy leaving her to manage it alone.
With Fire Phoenix by his side, Kai felt a sense of reassurance, as the Fire Phoenix held considerable prestige within the Beast Race.
The airship soared through the sky, traversing mountains and rivers on its way to Heavenly Demon Mountain!
Meanwhile, Kai sat aboard the airship, timing his upcoming match with Mu Qing.
“Ji Yun, since we’re heading to South End City and passing by the Soul Demon Sect, let’s stop by and check on that Ochre Yan brat!”
Noticing he had ample time before his competition with Mu Qing, Kai decided to visit Ochre Yan at the Soul Demon Sect.
Additionally, Kai wanted to speak with Patriarch Jiang of the Soul Demon Sect regarding the Blood and Bone Sect.
The Soul Demon Sect specializes in souls and can help individuals reconstruct their physical bodies.
In contrast, the Blood and Bone Sect focuses on using human bones for cultivation, and the two sects have some connections. Perhaps Patriarch Jiang would have information about the Blood and Bone Sect!
With insights into the Blood and Bone Sect, Kai hoped to learn about the skeleton of the Red Cloud Demon Monarch, which the sect might still possess.
Ji Yun nodded in agreement and deftly maneuvered the airship as they entered the Southern Domain.
