Chapter 4536
“Alliance Leader, don’t forget that Kai is still within the Xiao Dynasty. Based on my investigation, the reason Kai has repeatedly escaped danger is that a powerful figure supports him—someone who may be in the realm of immortality,” said Zhou Zongzhu.
“This individual is likely more formidable than the Wuji Old Taoist. A fourth-grade cultivator in the Mahayana Realm could be killed with just a single glance from this strong figure.”
Zuo Tianzheng frowned. “Zhou Zongzhu, I know you tend to be cautious and retreat when danger arises, but aren’t you exaggerating Kai’s strength a bit too much?”
“We’ve been chasing Kai as the Demon Sealing Alliance for so long. If there really were an immortal realm expert backing him, wouldn’t they have destroyed us by now?”
Zhou Zongzhu hesitated. “Well…”
Before he could respond, Luo Ta interjected with interest. “An expert in the realm of immortality? More powerful than the Wuji Old Taoist?”
“It seems so,” Zhou Zongzhu nodded.
“‘Seems so’? Have you witnessed this person in action?” Luo Ta pressed.
“No,” Zhou Zongzhu admitted. “The strong figure rarely intervenes, only stepping in when Kai is in imminent danger. But whenever they do, they completely neutralize the threat.”
“That’s it?” Luo Ta smirked.
“Yes, that’s all,” Zhou Zongzhu confirmed.
Luo Ta burst into laughter. “I’ve heard similar stories. Kai is merely a cultivator at the seventh level of the Tribulation Realm, not even in the Mahayana Realm. How strong could his enemies be? A powerful backer intervening doesn’t mean much. Even I could eliminate a fourth-level Mahayana cultivator with just a glance!”
As he spoke, Luo Ta glared at Zhou Zongzhu.
The glare startled Zhou Zongzhu so much that he immediately dropped to his knees, trembling and not daring to meet Luo Ta’s eyes.
Zuo Tianzheng, sensing the tension, quickly added, “Lord Luo, regardless of the realm of Kai’s supporter, they are certainly no match for Luo Gongfeng.”
Zuo Tianzheng knew these celestial beings were exceedingly arrogant and tried to placate Luo Ta. Sure enough, Luo Ta slowly closed his eyes after hearing the flattery.
He returned the glare and smiled coldly. “No matter who the so-called strong man is, or even the Wuji Taoist, I’ll kill them all!”
“Yes, yes, no one can defeat Lord Luo Gongsheng…” Zuo Tianzheng quickly chimed in.
Sect Master Zhou didn’t dare to say a word. He wanted to warn them but had nearly lost his life already.
Noticing Zuo Tianzheng’s sycophantic expression, Luo Ta sneered. “I know you think I’m boasting, but I don’t blame you. You haven’t seen the world. I’d wager you’ve never even encountered a true master in the Immortal Realm.”
“Your so-called ‘masters’ are worthless to me. With a single punch, I can reduce the strongest of them to ashes!”
Zuo Tianzheng lowered his head, nodding and smiling as he replied, “Yes, yes…”
Deep down, though, Zuo Tianzheng knew Luo Ta was just bragging. But who would dare call him out?
After all, if he were truly as powerful as he claimed, the Tenth Prince wouldn’t have been humiliated and forced to flee after being defeated by the Wuji Taoist! Everyone knew the God Clan loved to exaggerate, but no one expected it to be this excessive.
“Come! Follow me to the Xiao Dynasty. I want you to witness how I destroy that so-called strong man and the Wuji Taoist with a single punch!” Luo Ta declared as he strode out of the hall.
Zuo Tianzheng hurried after him, while Sect Master Zhou didn’t dare rise until Luo Ta had left the room.
“Zongzhu, what should we do?” Tianluo asked cautiously.
“We’ll follow them—but keep our distance. I want to see for myself how this braggart meets his end,” Zhou Zongzhu replied grimly.
“The strong man behind Kai isn’t ordinary. I went to great lengths to uncover this truth. If no one believes me, we’ll just have to watch and see.”
“If Luo Ta wins, we’ll reap the benefits. If he loses, we’ll turn and run. Under no circumstances are any of you to provoke the people of the Xiao Dynasty!” Zhou Zongzhu instructed Tiansha and Tianluo.
“Understood!” they both nodded firmly.
