Chapter 4543

When Mr. Shi closed his hand, the void began to tremble.

Soon, countless faint auras started to converge, swirling together like streams of energy.

Everyone watched Mr. Shi in bewilderment, unsure of what was happening.

Zuo Tianzheng and the others, who had already resigned themselves to their fate, were particularly stunned. They had thought their end was certain, but now it seemed Mr. Shi wasn’t targeting them after all.

Even Kai was baffled, his gaze fixed on Mr. Shi, unsure of what he was doing.

The gathered auras gradually took the shape of a human figure, transforming little by little until they resembled none other than Luo Ta.

“This…”

The crowd stared, dumbfounded, as Luo Ta’s form solidified before their eyes.

Nobody understood what was happening—not even Luo Ta himself. He glanced down at his body, inspecting it with a mix of disbelief and shock.

Wasn’t he already dead? Reduced to ashes?

“Luo Gongsheng?” Zuo Tianzheng exclaimed, his voice trembling as he recognized the newly resurrected Luo Ta.

“What’s going on?” Luo Ta demanded, his confusion evident as he turned to Zuo Tianzheng.

“He…he…” Zuo Tianzheng stammered, unable to articulate what he had just witnessed.

Xiao Yuanshan and the others turned their wide-eyed gazes toward Mr. Shi. Why had he resurrected Luo Ta after going to such lengths to kill him?

Could someone reduced to ashes really be brought back to life?

“Mr. Shi, what are you doing?” Kai asked, his face full of confusion.

“You need to kill your enemy yourself,” Mr. Shi replied with a faint smile. “This is just a lesson.”

Kai blinked in disbelief. With his current strength, how was he supposed to defeat Luo Ta?

Xiao Yuanshan and the others were equally perplexed, their minds racing with questions about Mr. Shi. Who was he, really? And why did he have such peculiar methods?

Zuo Tianzheng and his allies, however, breathed a collective sigh of relief.

If Mr. Shi wasn’t going to kill them, at least their lives were spared, though the loss of their resources still stung.

Kai continued to stare at Mr. Shi, initially confused, but soon a flicker of understanding appeared in his eyes.

He realized that with Mr. Shi’s abilities, he could dominate the world of Heaven and Man effortlessly.

Yet Mr. Shi chose not to. Instead, he let Kai grow, forcing him to face challenges step by step.

“Mr. Shi…”
“Mr. Shi, I understand now!” Kai said with a firm nod.

“I’m glad you do,” Mr. Shi replied, gently patting Kai on the head.

Kai then turned to Luo Ta, his Dragon Slaying Sword pointed directly at him.

“You big fool, hand over your storage bag, or I won’t be so polite,” Kai commanded sharply.

Though a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm was speaking to him, Luo Ta didn’t dare to utter a word in defiance. His gaze flickered nervously to Mr. Shi, who stood calmly beside Kai. Reluctantly, Luo Ta tossed his storage bag at Kai’s feet.

The memory of being reduced to ashes was still fresh, and Luo Ta had no desire to experience it again.

But just as the storage bag landed, an overwhelming, terrifying aura descended from the sky, sweeping across the area like a storm.

The immense pressure made the entire world seem distorted, as though reality itself had become unstable.

Under the crushing weight of the aura, many people collapsed to the ground, some even coughing up blood on the spot.

Even Luo Ta’s face turned deathly pale as he clenched his teeth to withstand the pressure.

This oppressive force was far stronger than anything Luo Ta had unleashed earlier.

Everyone turned their terrified gazes toward the source of the aura.

Who could it be this time?

The members of the Xiao Dynasty wore grim expressions, deeply worried that this might be another powerful figure backing the Demon Sealing League.

If that were the case, today’s outcome could be disastrous.

As the pressure intensified, a figure gradually emerged in the void—a regal old man with a white beard, dressed in a green robe, his eyes sharp and piercing.

“Who dares to act so brazenly in the Western Regions?” the old man said, his voice calm yet commanding.

“The Western Domain Lord…”

“Master!”

Xiao Yuanshan instantly recognized the figure and dropped to his knees in reverence.

Seeing this, the others from the Xiao Dynasty followed suit, their voices filled with awe and respect.

Zuo Tianzheng and the Northern Territory cultivators, unfamiliar with the Western Domain Lord, still bowed their heads when they heard his title.

After all, among the five domain lords, any one of them was regarded as a peerless figure in the Heavenly Realm—a dragon among men.
