Chapter 4720

A void loomed over the Xiao Dynasty.

Lin Kefan and his men arrived, following his father’s orders to take Kai to Sun Moon City.

To Lin Kefan’s left stood an old man in a checkered robe, leaning on a cane. His disheveled hair and peculiar appearance made him look rather strange.

To his right stood a man clad in a black ink robe, his posture straight and imposing. A murderous aura lingered between his brows, exuding an oppressive presence.

The old man was Huazhang Weng, and the man was Mo Shaying. Both were Lin Kefan’s trusted companions, much like the left and right blind elders who had once fiercely protected Lin Keting.

Lin Kefan’s arrival sent a shiver through the powerful figures surrounding the Xiao Dynasty, prompting them to distance themselves from its borders.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Lin Kefan gazed down at the Xiao Dynasty beneath him.

“Fourth Prince, if you prefer not to act yourself, shall the two of us retrieve Kai for you?” Huazhang Weng asked in a hushed tone.

Lin Kefan remained silent, continuing to observe the land below.

“Hua Zhang Weng, you talk too much. So many masters hover around the Xiao Dynasty, yet none dare to make a move. Clearly, the Xiao Dynasty is not as simple as it seems,” Mo Shaying remarked.

“What’s so complicated about it? The Xiao Emperor is only at the eighth level of the Mahayana Realm. I alone am more than enough to take on the Xiao Dynasty,” Huazhang Weng scoffed, dismissing any concern.

“Even if you can handle the Xiao Dynasty, can you defeat Kai? He made the eldest prince cough up blood,” Mo Shaying countered.

“A mere second-level Mahayana Realm cultivator left the eldest prince with no ability to fight back? That boy must have some backing,” he added.

“The eldest prince is useless. If the Fourth Prince makes a move, capturing Kai will be effortless,” Huazhang Weng sneered.

Lin Kefan slowly turned his gaze toward Huazhang Weng, his eyes sharp with disapproval.

Though they all knew his relationship with his elder brother was strained, that did not give servants the right to mock him so freely.

Feeling the weight of Lin Kefan’s stare, Huazhang Weng immediately fell silent.

And so, the three of them remained suspended above the Xiao Dynasty in quiet anticipation.

Time passed without measure until, suddenly, the void trembled. A terrifying aura surged forth, sweeping across the sky.
At that moment, a mocking voice rang out:

“You want 100,000 immortal spirit stones, yet you don’t dare make a move? How cowardly! Where is the dignity of a true warrior? If any of you dares to act, I will as well…”

A black shadow shot toward the Xiao Dynasty’s imperial city like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for Kai.

The figure moved so fast that the very fabric of the void twisted in its wake.

Seeing someone attack Kai, Lin Kefan reacted instantly and gave chase.

He couldn’t stand by and let someone else take Kai’s life.

If that happened, his little sister would never forgive him!

But just as Lin Kefan was about to catch up, the black shadow had already breached the imperial city’s perimeter.

However, the moment it entered, a brilliant white light flashed across the heavens!

“Ahhh!”

A blood-curdling scream echoed—then, the black shadow vanished without a trace.

In the blink of an eye, peace returned to the imperial city, as if nothing had ever happened.

Lin Kefan froze, stunned, while everyone around him stared in shock.

A deafening silence filled the air—you could hear a pin drop.

Without hesitation, the powerful figures surrounding the Xiao Dynasty turned and fled in terror, leaving only Lin Kefan and his two companions hovering in the sky.

“Old man… d-did you see that? That black shadow was stronger than both of us,” Mo Shaying stammered, swallowing hard.

“No… I couldn’t see clearly,” Huazhang Weng muttered, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. “I just heard a whoosh, then a scream… and he was gone!”

Moments ago, he had boasted about handling the Xiao Dynasty with ease, dismissing it as insignificant.

But now?

A figure far stronger than him had stepped into the imperial city—only to be instantly erased before anyone could even glimpse what happened!
