Chapter 4314
Tan Rongkun cast a glance at Kai before turning to lead his group away. He chose not to mention the Mu family’s offer to send cultivators, knowing that with Mu Qing dead, the Mu family’s ties to the Blood and Bone Sect would be minimal.
Once everyone had departed, the Palace Master of the Broad Cold Palace let out a sigh of relief. A confrontation just moments ago could have resulted in a disastrous stalemate!
“Pavilion Master Qian, thank you so much…”
Kai expressed his gratitude to Pavilion Master Qian, grateful for his timely intervention that had prevented a potential fight.
“Mr. Chen, there’s no need for thanks; it’s your own strength that has brought you this far. However, I advise you to leave South End City quickly. If the Mu Family Head comes out, you might find yourself in serious trouble!”
Pavilion Master Qian cautioned Kai.
“I understand!” Kai nodded in agreement. He certainly wasn’t going to stick around and wait for trouble to find him!
His priority was to return to the Soul Demon Sect and accompany Patriarch Jiang in locating the Blood and Bone Sect. If he could gather enough bones from the Red Cloud Demon Monarch, once the Monarch regained his physical form, Kai would gain an invincible ally in the Celestial Realm!
“Mr. Chen, where are you headed next? I can accompany you!”
The Palace Master of Guanghan Palace offered.
Kai shared his travel plans, and upon learning he was bound for the Soul Demon Sect and then the Blood and Bone Sect, the Palace Master decided to bring along several Holy Maidens for added support.
Kai didn’t decline the offer; the strength of Jiang Patriarch’s senior brothers was still unknown to him, and more allies meant greater security!
After bidding farewell to Pavilion Master Qian, Kai led the Palace Master of the Broad Cold Palace and the others towards the plaza blimp, preparing to depart South End City.
“Mr. Chen! Mr. Chen!”
Just as Kai was about to board the blimp, someone called out to him.
Kai turned to see Shen Ji Zi rushing towards him, panting. “Mr. Chen, since you placed a bet on yourself to win, why didn’t you go and collect your spirit coins? I’ve already exchanged mine and made quite a profit!”
Shen Ji Zi patted his bulging money pouch before handing Kai a handful of Purple Gold Spirit Coins. “These are for you, thanks to your recommendation, I won big!”
Kai smiled at Shen Ji Zi’s enthusiasm. “The Wan Tong Pavilion has branches everywhere; I can exchange coins elsewhere. It’s fine.”
“As for your winnings, it’s not just luck; you deserve it,” Kai added, acknowledging Shen Ji Zi’s insight. The latter chuckled awkwardly, realizing that if he hadn’t seen Kai’s strength firsthand, he wouldn’t have made that bet.
After a brief chat with Shen Ji Zi, Kai instructed Ji Yun to start the dirigible, setting course for the Soul Demon Sect.
The Palace Master of Guanghan Palace and the Holy Maidens, unfamiliar with air travel, were filled with curiosity as they explored the dirigible.
They peered out the portholes at the scenery below and discovered the various amenities available for rest, sleep, and cultivation.
“No wonder the Wan Tong Pavilion is so prosperous; everyone respects their power. This dirigible ride is incredibly comfortable!” one remarked.
“The Wan Tong Pavilion operates numerous airships, allowing many cultivators to travel comfortably,” another added.
“And we get to ride for free! This is amazing…” Lan Yingying exclaimed in astonishment.
“Indeed, this dirigible is quite luxurious…” the Guanghan Palace Master agreed, equally impressed.
“Ji Yun’s family owns several of these airships. They profit by offering rides,” Kai mentioned with a subtle smile.
The Holy Maidens turned to Ji Yun in surprise upon hearing this. If not for the rules of Guanghan Palace, many might have flirted with him; such a wealthy second-generation young man was rare to encounter!
