Chapter 4548

“If you lead an attack on Guanghan Palace, it will cause significant destruction, and you still won’t achieve justice for your son,” Pavilion Master Qian urged, trying to dissuade Mu Kunrong.

Having just come out of retreat, Mu Kunrong was unaware of Kai’s whereabouts. His initial plan was to eliminate Guanghan Palace before pursuing Kai.

However, Pavilion Master Qian of Wantong Pavilion stepped in to intervene, inviting Mu Kunrong to discuss the matter. The Mu family relied on Wantong Pavilion in various ways, and Mu Kunrong was reluctant to sever ties with them.

“Palace Master Qian, I’ll give you this courtesy, but what happens if Kai doesn’t show up?” Mu Kunrong asked coldly.

“Master Mu, rest assured. I have already sent word to Guanghan Palace, and I am confident they have informed Kai as well,” Pavilion Master Qian replied.

“If Kai does not appear within three days, you may proceed with your attack on Guanghan Palace, and I will not stand in your way,” he promised solemnly.

For now, Pavilion Master Qian could only buy time, hoping Kai would arrive before disaster struck. If the Mu family launched an assault on Guanghan Palace, the losses would be catastrophic.

“Fine. I’ll wait here for three days. If Kai doesn’t show up, don’t blame me for being ruthless,” Mu Kunrong declared before finishing the tea in front of him and leaving.

Watching Mu Kunrong leave, Pavilion Master Qian exhaled in relief.

“Mr. Chen, I’ve done all I can. The rest is up to you…”

Pavilion Master Qian had been secretly tasked by Kai to safeguard Guanghan Palace, but as a branch master of Wantong Pavilion, his influence was limited. All he could do was delay the inevitable and hope Kai resolved the issue in time.

“Ji Yun, pick up the pace…” Kai’s face was tense as he urged Ji Yun aboard the airship.

“Understood,” Ji Yun responded, immediately accelerating their speed.
With an abundance of resources at his disposal, the consumption of the airship’s energy was negligible for Kai.

The airship soared at high speed, but Kai showed no interest in the scenic views of Tianmo Mountain. After all, he had flown over these mountains more than once.

“Master, don’t be so anxious. Try to relax a little…” Zhongli murmured softly as she nestled in Kai’s arms.

Kai gave her a slight smile before playfully pinning her beneath him.

After two days and three nights of travel, the airship arrived over Nanjin City on the third day.

The moment the airship appeared, Pavilion Master Qian was informed immediately. In the Southern Region, only Kai could freely fly an airship of this kind over Nanjin City.

For others, traveling by airship required going through Wantong Pavilion, and piloting an airship in the Southern Region demanded their approval. However, Kai’s status granted him the freedom to travel unhindered, and Wantong Pavilion would never interfere with him.

As Kai’s airship descended into the square of Nanjin City, Pavilion Master Qian personally led a delegation to greet him.

“Mr. Chen, we meet again,” Pavilion Master Qian said with a warm smile as he approached.

Kai disembarked from the airship, returned the smile, and shook Pavilion Master Qian’s hand.

Suddenly, Pavilion Master Qian froze mid-motion, staring at Kai in astonishment. “Mr. Chen, you… you’ve reached the ninth level of the Tribulation Realm?”

Kai nodded calmly.

Pavilion Master Qian’s expression was one of utter disbelief. Just a few days ago, Kai had killed Mu Qing and departed from Nanjin City. Yet now, he had already advanced to the ninth level of the Tribulation Realm.

The speed of his cultivation progress was faster than a rocket!

“Mr. Chen, you are truly extraordinary. At this rate, ascending to the heavens is merely a matter of time,” Pavilion Master Qian praised enthusiastically.

“Pavilion Master Qian, I deeply appreciate your efforts in holding back the Mu family. Without your intervention, Guanghan Palace would have faced serious trouble,” Kai said, expressing his gratitude.
