Chapter 4305
Once Tan Rongkun departed, a collective sigh of relief swept through the crowd!
Kai bowed and bid farewell to Pavilion Master Qian before turning to leave.
Observing this, Shen Ji Zi hurried after him, practically skipping with joy!
To Shen Ji Zi, Kai was nothing short of the God of Wealth!
Kai couldn’t help but notice Shen Ji Zi’s oversized shorts and, with a sigh, pulled out a purple gold spirit coin. He said, “Go buy yourself some proper clothes and keep the rest for yourself…”
“Thank you so much, Mr. Chen! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay you back. I know you’re going to win, and that means I’ll be rich!” Shen Ji Zi exclaimed.
Kai replied, “The betting odds between you and Mu Qing are ten to one. If you win, our bet will multiply tenfold…”
Shen Ji Zi felt a surge of excitement; he was absolutely convinced that Kai would emerge victorious!
“But what if I don’t win? Won’t you end up losing everything?” Kai asked, eyeing Shen Ji Zi with curiosity.
“That’s impossible! Even if you do lose, I know your character. You wouldn’t let me end up penniless. You’d definitely give me back my wager!” Shen Ji Zi confidently asserted.
Kai was left speechless by this revelation. Shen Ji Zi had already strategized; if he won, he’d strike it rich. And if Kai lost, his nature wouldn’t allow him to let Shen Ji Zi go without support. After all, Kai had more than enough money!
“Alright, go get yourself some clothes. If I really do lose, I’ll give you everything I have left. But by then, I’d be in such a bad state that you wouldn’t need the money immediately!” Kai said with a faint smile.
Shen Ji Zi, hearing this, quickly replied, “Mr. Chen can’t lose! You definitely won’t lose…”
With that, Shen Ji Zi dashed off to purchase some clothing, realizing that his current outfit was rather unimpressive!
Just as Shen Ji Zi left, someone called out to Kai.
“Mr. Chen…”
Two elegant figures approached him!
“Palace Master…”
Kai turned to find the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace accompanied by Lan Yingying!
“Mr. Chen, I anticipated you would come to Nanjin City soon, so I descended the mountain to try my luck. I never imagined I would run into you here,” the Palace Master said.
“In just under a month, you’ve reached the seventh level of the Tribulation Realm. That’s truly remarkable!”
“With your rapid cultivation progress, it won’t be long before you ascend to immortality!”
“Palace Master, you flatter me. Achieving immortality is no simple task…” Kai replied with a smile.
“Palace Master, let’s find a more suitable place to chat. This bustling street isn’t ideal for a conversation!” Lan Yingying suggested.
“Absolutely, let’s seek out a quieter spot!”
Agreeing, the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace led Kai and the others to a more private location.
Kai intended to stay in Nanjin City until the competition, so the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace wouldn’t be returning home just yet. They needed to secure accommodations!
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of miles away in the Northern Territory, at the headquarters of the Demon Sealing Alliance, Zuo Tianzheng sat stiffly in his seat, his face pale with concern!
Elder Chu, battered and bruised, spoke with a distant look in his eyes: “Alliance Leader, the Xiao Dynasty has brazenly attacked us and is openly backing Kai. It’s simply outrageous!”
“We must find a way to warn the Xiao Dynasty and urge them to stop meddling in Kai’s affairs.”
“How do you propose we do that?” Zuo Tianzheng retorted with a cold glare. “Are you suggesting we march into the Xiao Dynasty?”
“I… I lack the strength to do that!” Elder Chu replied, shaking his head in fear.
After all, a general from the Xiao Dynasty had already decimated the Feng family. If Elder Chu hadn’t cleverly fled in advance, he would have met the same fate!
There was no way he could rally forces to confront the Xiao Dynasty!
