Chapter 4679
When Zuo Tianzheng followed the young man out of the hall, he froze in shock for a moment!
Standing outside were twelve black-robed monks, each armed with swords and exuding a ghostly presence.
These twelve individuals were all at least at the fifth level of the Mahayana realm, with some no weaker than himself!
Faced with this lineup, if these people were here to cause trouble, the Demon Sealing League’s headquarters would undoubtedly be destroyed!
In front of the black-robed monks stood a young female cultivator dressed in a white Luo skirt. She appeared delicate and beautiful, her expression calm yet composed.
When the young man emerged, the female cultivator greeted him warmly. “Yun Li, how did it go?”
“Shi Lan, we’re heading to the Xiao Dynasty to wait for Kai. No matter where he is now, he’ll definitely return there,” Yun Li replied, gently brushing a strand of hair from her face.
“Alright,” Shi Lan nodded in agreement.
“Let’s go,” Yun Li said softly.
“As you command, Your Highness,” the twelve black-robed monks responded in unison.
Your Highness?
The Highness of the Ten Palaces?
The son of the Master of the Ten Palaces?
Zuo Tianzheng’s mind reeled upon hearing the title.
Another prince? Didn’t one just leave? How many sons does the Master of the Ten Palaces even have?
As he observed closely, Zuo Tianzheng noticed Yun Li bore a striking resemblance to the Tenth Prince who had visited before.
Understanding Yun Li’s identity, Zuo Tianzheng became even more cautious and silently accompanied them to the Xiao Dynasty.
“Have you seen the man named Kai?” Yun Li asked Zuo Tianzheng during the journey.
“I have seen him!” Zuo Tianzheng nodded quickly, his tone eager.
“Tell me about him,” Yun Li said calmly.
“This…”
Zuo Tianzheng hesitated, unsure of where to begin. After a brief pause, he said, “Your Highness, Kai’s appearance is slightly above average, and he’s not particularly tall. He doesn’t stand out much physically. However, as far as I know, Kai has many confidantes around him.”
Hearing this, Yun Li’s expression turned cold. “Is that what I want to hear?”
Zuo Tianzheng shuddered slightly and quickly added, “Your Highness, Kai is a ninth-grade cultivator in the Tribulation Realm. Although he can fight above his level, he struggles against fifth-grade cultivators in the Mahayana Realm.”
Yun Li frowned slightly at this. “But he killed Luo Ta…”
“What?”
Zuo Tianzheng was so shocked he nearly lost his balance in mid-air.
“Mr. Luo is at the peak of the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm! How could Kai possibly kill him? Even if he’s incredibly skilled, that’s impossible.”
“But Kai isn’t alone,” Yun Li replied calmly. “There’s a Mr. Shi behind him—his strength is unfathomable. It was Mr. Shi who killed Luo Ta. Afterward, Luo Ta was resurrected, and even the Lord of the Western Region fled upon seeing Mr. Shi!”
Zuo Tianzheng recounted everything he knew about Kai in detail.
Yun Li, however, didn’t seem surprised. It was as if he had already anticipated much of what he was hearing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Zuo Tianzheng to lead him to the Xiao Dynasty to wait for Kai.
Kai was currently in Beast City, but Yun Li had no idea where that was. To find Kai, he could only wait in the Xiao Dynasty.
“The identity of this Kai is definitely not ordinary,” Yun Li murmured, his gaze distant and contemplative.
Zuo Tianzheng remained silent, unwilling to speculate further on Kai’s true identity.
Beside Yun Li, Shi Lan spoke with concern, “Yun Li, the person behind Kai is so powerful. If we go after him now, will it…”
Shi Lan hesitated, her words trailing off. She didn’t need to finish her sentence.
She knew Yun Li had taken on this dangerous task to be with her—to escape the Ten Palaces and carve out a new life. But the thought of Yun Li risking his life for her filled her with dread.
