Chapter 4684
But Kai waved his hand, then turned his head toward the void and said calmly, “No need to speak. They’re here…”
The void trembled, and Yun Li’s figure slowly emerged. Beside him stood Shi Lan.
Behind them, twelve black-robed monks—each at the fifth level or higher in the Mahayana realm—followed closely, sabers in hand, exuding murderous intent.
Zuo Tianzheng trailed behind the monks, keeping his distance despite being unable to leave.
Kai and Yun Li locked eyes, both furrowing their brows simultaneously.
“The second level of the Mahayana realm?”
Yun Li frowned in disbelief.
He had received information that Kai was merely at the ninth level of the Tribulation Realm, so how had he suddenly advanced to the second level of the Mahayana realm?
For a moment, he doubted whether he had the right person.
After all, Yun Li had never seen Kai before.
Xiao Yuanshan was equally stunned. He hadn’t noticed earlier, but now it was clear—Kai had ascended to the second level of the Mahayana realm in just a few days. Such a rapid breakthrough was simply unbelievable!
Zuo Tianzheng, who stood further back, was just as shocked. His mouth hung open, nearly dropping his jaw.
“Kai, you… how did you reach the second level of the Mahayana realm?”
He pointed at Kai, stammering in disbelief.
But Kai ignored him. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Yun Li and asked, “Were you looking for me?”
By now, Zuo Tianzheng was no longer even worth his attention.
Yun Li nodded. “Tenth Palace, Yun Li…”
He cupped his hands politely toward Kai.
Everyone watching was surprised. Was Yun Li not here to take revenge on Kai?
His demeanor was calm, devoid of any hostility.
Kai returned the gesture. “Kai.”
“Brother Chen, may we speak in private?”
Yun Li’s words left everyone bewildered.
Brother Chen? A private conversation?
Xiao Yuanshan and the others exchanged confused glances.
Even Kai himself was puzzled. He had no idea what Yun Li was up to.
Could it be that this man from the Ten Palaces isn’t here to cause trouble for me?
“Alright.” Kai nodded.
“Mr. Chen…”
Xiao Yuanshan quickly stepped forward, attempting to stop him.
After all, Yun Li was at the peak of the ninth level of the Mahayana Realm. Even though Kai had recently advanced to the second level, facing a cultivator of that caliber was no simple task.
Moreover, no one knew what Yun Li was planning. If this was a trap, Kai could be in serious danger.
But Kai waved his hand, signaling Xiao Yuanshan not to worry. Then, he gestured for Yun Li to proceed.
In an instant, the two figures vanished.
Now, the remaining members of the Xiao Dynasty and the Ten Palaces were left staring at one another.
With the two main figures gone, all they could do was wait—no one dared to act rashly.
Meanwhile, Kai walked alongside Yun Li. There was no hostility between them; in fact, they appeared like old friends.
“You’re not going to kill me?” Kai broke the silence.
“Why would I?”
Yun Li smiled slightly.
“I killed Luo Ta…”
Kai didn’t bother hiding the truth. He knew Luo Ta was a key figure in the Ten Palaces.
“So what?” Yun Li’s smile remained unchanged.
“I killed one of your own from the Ten Palaces. If you’re not here for revenge, then why are you looking for me?”
Kai couldn’t hold back his frustration.
What exactly was this guy after?
Why not just get to the point?
“I’m here simply because I’m curious about you,” Yun Li said, looking directly at Kai. “Your body carries the aura of three different tribes. Do you also possess the ultimate fire of the demon clan?”
“What are you talking about?”
Kai spread his palm, and a flickering demon clan ultimate fire ignited in his hand.
For the first time, a hint of shock appeared on Yun Li’s otherwise calm face.
At the same moment, the blade in his hand began to tremble, seemingly reacting to the demonic energy.
