Chapter 4488
With just a single glance, Old Cao and Old Sun felt a tightening in their hearts, and in an instant, their divine souls were wrenched from their bodies!
Their physical forms collapsed heavily to the ground, succumbing directly to death!
Left with nothing but their souls, the two men panicked and scurried about, yet, even in this ethereal state, they found no escape from the area!
Shi opened his palm slightly, and in a flash, the divine souls of both men were drawn toward him, firmly held within his grasp.
“I’ll take your divine souls to restore his power!”
As Shi spoke, he gently rubbed his palm twice, and the souls of Old Cao and Old Sun transformed into a brilliant white light before being cast into Kai’s body!
To Shi, these two Mahayana Realm 4th Grade cultivators were no more significant than ants!
Meanwhile, within Kai’s consciousness, the Red Cloud Demon Monarch cowered in a corner, trembling in fear of being discovered by Mr. Shi!
This formidable figure was repeatedly aiding Kai, leaving the Red Cloud Demon Monarch bewildered about Kai’s true identity!
Soon, a dozen silhouettes appeared in the distance, and Xiao Feng arrived with experts from the Xiao Imperial Dynasty!
As they laid eyes on Mr. Shi, both Xiao Feng and the imperial experts froze momentarily, their expressions shifting drastically as if confronted by a formidable foe!
Although Shi exuded no murderous intent and displayed no aura, the moment they saw him, it felt as if an invisible hand had gripped their hearts tightly!
The experts from the Xiao Imperial Dynasty held Xiao Feng back, casting wary glances at Mr. Shi!
“Did you come to pick him up?”
Shi inquired of Xiao Feng.
“Yes!” Xiao Feng replied, pushing aside those in front of him to approach Mr. Shi!
“He represents a tremendous opportunity for your Xiao Dynasty; seize it…”
After this statement, Mr. Shi smiled faintly, and to everyone’s astonishment, his figure vanished without a trace!
It was as if he had never been there at all!
This sudden disappearance left Xiao Feng and the Xiao Imperial Dynasty experts in shock!
Xiao Feng was puzzled by Mr. Shi’s words, unsure of what great opportunity Kai could possibly represent!
“Come on, everyone, we need to take Mr. Chen back…”
Xiao Feng commanded his men to bring Kai back!
Kai was swiftly transported back to the Xiao Imperial Dynasty, where Ji Yun felt a wave of guilt upon learning that Kai had sustained serious injuries!
Having followed Kai closely, Ji Yun was taken aback that Kai had managed to slip away without his knowledge!
It dawned on Ji Yun that Kai likely left without a word to prevent him from being dragged into the trouble with the Demon Sealing Alliance, which had been pursuing him relentlessly!
Xiao Feng provided a substantial amount of resources and instructed Ji Yun to care for Kai!
Meanwhile, he mobilized his troops to fortify the defenses of the Imperial City!
Xiao Feng was well aware that the forces from the Demon Sealing Alliance would be arriving imminently!
At the Demon Sealing Alliance Headquarters, the news of Old Sun and Old Cao’s demise had already circulated!
The fall of two Mahayana Realm Fourth Grade cultivators was indeed shocking to the members of the Demon Sealing Alliance!
“Alliance Master, as soon as the Xiao Imperial Dynasty’s men arrived, there was no chance left to eliminate Kai,”
Zuo Tianzheng recounted the events of that day. “I had urged the two of them to retreat, but they disregarded my warnings, driven by their desire to seize the Divine King Bow from Kai.”
“In the end, they were surrounded and slain by the Xiao Imperial Dynasty’s forces. Thankfully, I acted quickly and managed to escape with two of my disciples.”
As Patriarch Zhou followed Zuo Tianzheng’s narration, he realized he had been unaware of Old Sun and Old Cao’s deaths until he returned to the headquarters!
Upon learning of their demise, Patriarch Zhou celebrated for half a day!
However, he knew he had to report the incident with some embellishments!
Otherwise, he would surely face punishment for escaping on his own!
“Old Zhou, your cowardice and selfishness led to Old Sun and Old Cao’s tragic end,”
someone angrily accused Patriarch Zhou. “You’re clearly not loyal to the Demon Sealing Alliance!”
