Chapter 4715
At that moment, the surrounding void trembled as several Mahayana masters encircled them.
Each of these individuals was a ninth-grade Mahayana master exuding an intimidating aura.
Seeing the situation, Xiao Yuanshan frowned and immediately led his people to shield Kai.
Xuan Bin and Zhou Tang also drew their weapons.
Although they were clearly no match for the numerous ninth-grade Mahayana cultivators, having just pledged loyalty to Kai, they felt compelled to stand by him. Whether they could win or not was secondary—what mattered was showing their loyalty.
“I am Xuan Bin from Nanhua Peak. I now follow Mr. Chen. If you dare to attack him, my brothers and I will fight to the death!” Xuan Bin shouted boldly at the cultivators.
To their surprise, the cultivators ignored Xuan Bin entirely and walked straight toward Kai.
Just as Xuan Bin and Zhou Tang prepared to fight, the cultivators suddenly knelt before Kai.
“Mr. Chen, please accept us,” they pleaded in unison.
The sight left Xuan Bin, Xiao Yuanshan, and the others utterly stunned.
Even Kai was visibly shocked.
What was happening today?
Why were so many ninth-grade Mahayana cultivators eager to pledge loyalty to him?
“What is the meaning of this?” Kai asked, bewildered.
A bearded man raised his head and explained, “Mr. Chen, we are also independent cultivators and hope to follow you.”
The others echoed in unison, “We hope to follow Mr. Chen!”
“This…” Kai was momentarily speechless.
“Mr. Chen, we are willing to go through fire and water for you without hesitation,” the bearded man declared sincerely.
“Even if we must act as your dogs, we’ll bite whoever you command us to,” he added.
Zhou Tang was stunned—wasn’t that exactly what he had said before? How had this guy learned it so quickly?
“Mr. Chen, this is cause for celebration,” Zhou Tang remarked. “So many ninth-grade Mahayana cultivators want to follow you!”
“If you accept these people, you’ll be unstoppable in the world of heaven and man. Even against the Ten Palaces, you’ll have a fighting chance!” Xiao Yuanshan whispered to Kai.
His message was clear—Kai should accept these cultivators.
Each of them was a ninth-grade Mahayana Realm master, far superior to Xiao Yuanshan himself.
Kai nodded in agreement. Since they had willingly come to him, there was no reason to refuse.
Having these powerful ninth-grade Mahayana cultivators by his side would be a tremendous advantage. One might not be impressive alone, but with so many, even an opponent recently ascended to the Immortal Realm wouldn’t be a threat.
“Alright, I accept you. From now on, you’ll follow me,” Kai declared with a casual wave of his hand.
“Thank you, Mr. Chen,” the bearded cultivator said gratefully before leading the group to stand.
After rising, they fixed their eyes on Kai, making him slightly uneasy.
“Mr. Chen, looks like you’ve got charisma. So many masters are now following you,” Xuan Bin exclaimed excitedly.
“With this many ninth-grade Mahayana masters, why should we fear the chicken-feathered Ten Palaces?”
“If any of them dare show up, I’ll take them down one by one!” Xuan Bin declared triumphantly.
The sight of such a formidable force following him filled Kai with joy.
It seemed he did have charisma after all.
“The world hustles for gain; all desires boil down to gain,” the Red Cloud Demon Lord suddenly muttered cryptically.
“Senior, what do you mean?” Kai asked, puzzled.
“You’ll understand soon enough,” the Red Cloud Demon Lord replied with a knowing expression.
Kai couldn’t help but curl his lips at the Demon Lord’s pretentious demeanor.
