Chapter 4655

Xiong Kuo was stunned by what he had just witnessed. He never expected Kai to kill Qiu Tu so decisively. After all, Qiu Tu was the young master of Qiu Mansion!

Qiu Mansion wasn’t just any place—it was the residence of Qiu Wanqing, one of the three beast generals. Qiu Wanqing was a cultivator of the Mahayana realm at the eighth grade, commanding an army of no less than a hundred Mahayana cultivators. Yet Kai had dared to kill Qiu Tu outright. Was he truly unafraid of Qiu Wanqing’s wrath?

Xiong Ying, too, was deeply shaken. Watching Kai eliminate Qiu Tu without a hint of hesitation left her in awe. But unlike Xiong Kuo, her feelings leaned more toward admiration. From the moment she first met Kai, she had thought of him as unremarkable. Now, however, her opinion had transformed into profound respect.

Every shift in her perception of Kai was driven by the sheer force of his strength.

Though Xiong Ying was beautiful, she was merely a small cultivator in the Tribulation Realm. Her beauty was her greatest asset, but in the treacherous world of heaven and man, that alone offered no protection. In fact, it often invited trouble.

This recent ordeal was proof enough—Xiong Kuo’s so-called friends had betrayed him, driven by their lust for Xiong Ying. They had even plotted to possess her. If not for Kai’s intervention, her fate would have been sealed.

Xiong Ying’s gaze toward Kai shifted constantly, her admiration growing deeper. At this moment, a thought formed in her heart—she hoped Kai would accept her. If he did, she could find safety and protection under his formidable strength.

The youngest sister, however, was trapped in her own internal struggle. With her brother dead, she was now alone in the world. Living in Beast City as a young woman without anyone to rely on would inevitably lead to her becoming a plaything for other male cultivators.

She, too, longed to follow Kai and wished for his protection. But she was painfully aware of her own shortcomings. Whether in strength or beauty, she couldn’t compare to Xiong Ying.

Even with the sword spirit Zhongli by her side, she fell short. Though her appearance might be considered average, in front of Kai—a man surrounded by so many remarkable beauties—she felt utterly inadequate.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you into the city to find a safe place for now. This fairy stone vein isn’t secure—others likely know about it,” Kai said to the three.

Since Qian Yue had informed Qiu Tu, and Qiu Tu had involved people from the Qiu Mansion, it was certain that the location of this fairy stone vein had spread within the Qiu Mansion.

If Xiong Kuo and the others stayed here, they would undoubtedly be in danger.

“Mr. Chen, you just killed Qiu Tu, and now you’re planning to walk openly back to Beast City. Aren’t you worried about retaliation from the Qiu Mansion?”

“How about I take you to a more secluded place? I know of a very hidden spot,” Xiong Kuo suggested, concern evident in his voice.

“No need. The Qiu Mansion won’t dare to retaliate. And if they do, I’ll destroy the entire Qiu Mansion myself,” Kai replied casually.

A first-grade cultivator in the Mahayana realm declaring his intent to destroy the mansion of an eighth-grade Mahayana cultivator would ordinarily sound like a ridiculous boast.

But coming from Kai, it felt completely believable.

The strength Kai had displayed was so overwhelming that Xiong Kuo and the others couldn’t even comprehend the true extent of his power.

Without delay, the group hurried toward Beast City. With Kai carrying the token of Xing Mansion, they passed through the city gates smoothly, avoiding any inspection.

Kai led them directly into Xing Mansion.

As they stood before the grand structure, Xiong Kuo and the others were momentarily stunned.

This was the mansion of Xing Daorong, one of the three beast generals. While they had never been inside, they were all familiar with its imposing exterior.

In Beast City, aside from the City Lord’s Mansion at its center, the mansions of the three beast generals were the most extravagant and impressive structures in the entire city.
