Chapter 4705
On the other side, Xiao Yuanshan brought Xiao Feng back to the imperial city and went straight to check on Kai, who was tempering his body.
At that moment, Xiao Yuanshan’s expression was grim.
“Father, why did those three try to kill Mr. Chen? Could he have some connection to these hidden forces?” Xiao Feng asked, puzzled.
Xiao Yuanshan shook his head. “I don’t know either. But no matter what, we must wait until Mr. Chen finishes tempering his body. During this time, even if it means putting the entire Xiao Dynasty at risk, we cannot allow anyone to get near him!”
“I understand. I’ll mobilize our forces to secure the area,” Xiao Feng nodded.
Just then, several powerful aura fluctuations emerged near the Xiao Dynasty, causing Xiao Yuanshan to frown.
“Another master is approaching. Could it be those three again?” Xiao Feng asked.
“No, the aura feels different,” Xiao Yuanshan replied.
“What’s going on? Why are so many powerful figures suddenly appearing in our Xiao Dynasty? Are they all after Mr. Chen?” Xiao Feng was full of doubts.
Neither Xiao Yuanshan nor Xiao Feng knew about the Ten Palaces’ bounty on Kai. They couldn’t fathom why so many masters had gathered.
“They’re all here for Brother Chen…”
At that moment, Yun Li approached slowly.
“How do you know?” Xiao Feng asked.
“Because the Ten Palaces have placed a bounty of 100,000 immortal spirit stones on Kai’s head. That’s why they’re here,” Yun Li said calmly.
“100,000 immortal spirit stones?” Xiao Yuanshan was shocked. He hadn’t expected the Ten Palaces to offer such a hefty reward.
“If these people are after Mr. Chen, why haven’t they acted yet? If even those three cultivators had attacked earlier, our entire Xiao Dynasty might not have been able to stop them!” Xiao Feng said in confusion.
Xiao Yuanshan gazed at the sky, deep in thought. “Perhaps these people have their concerns. Mr. Shi has strengthened the fortune of my Xiao Dynasty for thousands of years, proving that our dynasty can endure for millennia.”
“If they act within the Xiao Dynasty, they’ll have to think twice. These are intelligent people—they must have investigated thoroughly before coming.”
“Father is right. With Mr. Shi protecting us, who would dare make a move here? I think those three were trying to lure Mr. Chen out so they could strike beyond our borders. As long as we keep Mr. Chen inside, they won’t get the chance,” Xiao Feng said.
“Exactly. We just need to ensure Mr. Chen doesn’t leave the Xiao Dynasty,” Xiao Yuanshan nodded in agreement.
“Do you really think Kai will stay?”
Yun Li spoke before turning to leave.
Though he had only just met Kai, he already understood his character well.
Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Feng fell silent. Watching Kai endure the torment of the thunder tribulation, they found themselves at a loss.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar filled the air as terrifying bolts of thunder struck down upon Kai with relentless force.
Yun Li, who had been walking away, stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at Kai in midair.
Kai’s body radiated a dazzling golden light.
Even his skin had taken on a golden hue!
“He achieved this so quickly?”
Yun Li muttered in astonishment.
The body-refining scroll was a secret technique of the God Clan. Many of their people had spent centuries—some even thousands of years—practicing it.
Yun Li himself had trained for years, yet he had never seen anyone progress as fast as Kai.
The God Clan considered themselves naturally gifted, yet not a single one of their cultivators had ever mastered the body-refining scroll at such a speed!
The golden light around Kai grew increasingly intense. Even without activating the Indestructible Golden Body, his flesh alone radiated a brilliance never seen before.
“Mr. Chen… you are truly a god…”
Xiao Yuanshan’s eyes sparkled with awe, his face full of admiration.
Kai’s immense strength signified that the Xiao Dynasty would only grow more powerful. At this moment, Xiao Yuanshan felt incredibly fortunate to have befriended Kai, bringing an unprecedented opportunity to his dynasty.
