Chapter 4681

Xiao Dynasty!

Xiao Yuanshan, accompanied by Xiao Feng and a group of elite warriors from the Xiao Dynasty, soared into the sky.

Ahead of them was a young man dressed in white, followed by a woman in a flowing Luo skirt. Behind them stood Zuo Tianzheng, and further back, twelve sword-wielding monks—all of them above the fifth rank of the Mahayana Realm.

Seeing this formidable lineup, Xiao Yuanshan and his entourage grew serious.

Zuo Tianzheng wouldn’t bring people like this to the Xiao Dynasty without a reason.

However, despite the intimidating presence of these powerful individuals, Xiao Yuanshan remained unshaken. After all, the Xiao Dynasty had its own backing—Mr. Shi had blessed their dynasty with thousands of years of fortune. No matter how strong these outsiders were, they couldn’t shake the foundation of the Xiao Dynasty.

“Zuo Tianzheng, how dare you bring people to my Xiao Dynasty? Do you have a death wish?” Xiao Yuanshan demanded.

Zuo Tianzheng’s face turned grim, but he didn’t dare retaliate. Instead, he explained, “Emperor Xiao, don’t misunderstand. This time, I’m only here to escort His Highness Yun Li. His Highness is looking for Kai.”

“Your Highness?” Xiao Yuanshan’s eyes shifted to Yun Li. “Are you from the Temple?”

Yun Li gave a slight nod. “Yes.”

“What business do you have with Mr. Chen? Are you here for revenge?” Xiao Yuanshan asked directly.

“I’ve come because of his reputation,” Yun Li replied calmly.

“Because of his reputation?” Xiao Yuanshan’s brows furrowed. He didn’t entirely believe Yun Li’s words, but he responded coldly, “Mr. Chen is not in the Xiao Dynasty. He left several days ago.”

“I’m aware,” Yun Li said. “I’m here to wait for him.”

Yun Li’s certainty that Kai wasn’t present left Xiao Yuanshan puzzled.

He studied Yun Li carefully, unable to understand his motives. Yun Li didn’t seem hostile, and there was no indication that he had come to start a fight.

“It’s uncertain when Mr. Chen will return to our Xiao Dynasty,” Xiao Yuanshan finally said, his tone guarded.
“I’ll wait as long as it takes. I know you’ll find a way to contact him,” Yun Li said confidently.

After speaking, Yun Li descended slowly, landing on the ground before sitting cross-legged on a massive rock.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanshan, though filled with questions, had no choice but to lead his people back to the imperial city, leaving Yun Li and his group to wait outside.

“Your Highness, I…”

Zuo Tianzheng hesitated as Xiao Yuanshan departed. He wanted to tell Yun Li that he wished to leave. Waiting for Kai made him uneasy—especially if Mr. Shi appeared again. The mere thought terrified him.

But Zuo Tianzheng didn’t dare to voice his concerns outright, so he stammered uncertainly.

“Are you planning to leave?” Yun Li asked, looking at Zuo Tianzheng.

Although Yun Li’s gaze was calm, it was enough to make Zuo Tianzheng shiver with fear.

Yun Li didn’t expect much from Zuo Tianzheng beyond acting as a guide. But seeing how timid he was, Yun Li couldn’t help but question how someone like him could lead the Demon Sealing Alliance or serve the Ten Palaces.

“No, no! I wouldn’t dare. With Your Highness here, how could I leave?” Zuo Tianzheng replied quickly, shaking his head frantically and abandoning any thought of leaving.

Shi Lan, observing Yun Li sitting so composed, asked, “Yun Li, do we really have to wait here? We don’t even know how long it will take.”

“It won’t take long,” Yun Li replied with a slight smile.

He was confident that once Xiao Yuanshan returned, he would immediately contact Kai, ensuring that Kai would arrive soon.

Yun Li’s guess was accurate. As soon as Xiao Yuanshan returned to the imperial city, he instructed Xiao Feng to contact Kai using a sound transmission jade slip.

At that moment, Kai was still in Nanjin City, bidding farewell to Pavilion Master Qian. Upon receiving Xiao Feng’s transmission, he hurried to the square to board an airship bound for the Xiao Dynasty.

Kai hadn’t anticipated that, even after Mr. Shi’s intervention, the people from the Temple would still have the audacity to trouble the Xiao Dynasty.
