Chapter 4722
Inside the imperial city…
Xiao Yuanshan, along with many monks of the Xiao Dynasty, had just witnessed the shocking event unfold before their eyes.
Initially, Xiao Yuanshan had planned to lead his men in stopping the intruder who had charged into the imperial city.
But before he could act, a blinding white light flashed in the void, striking the black shadow and instantly reducing him to ashes.
Xiao Yuanshan hadn’t seen who the attacker was, but one thing was certain—their strength far surpassed his own.
Just like that, the intruder was completely obliterated, vanishing without a sound.
“Father… could this be the luck that Mr. Shi bestowed upon our Xiao Dynasty?” Xiao Feng asked in astonishment.
“It should be,” Xiao Yuanshan nodded.
Mr. Shi had granted the Xiao Dynasty a thousand years of fortune, ensuring that no harm would come to them for a millennium.
As long as the people of the Xiao Dynasty didn’t venture beyond their borders, their empire would remain untouchable—invincible even.
No outsider could enter and cause destruction.
Kai hadn’t expected that with just a wave of his hand, Mr. Shi could shield the Xiao Dynasty for a thousand years.
It was truly astonishing…
Just then, Xiao Yuanshan approached Kai’s room.
“Mr. Chen, nearly all the auras surrounding the Xiao Dynasty have dispersed. However, three remain—they’ve been lingering above the Xiao Dynasty for quite some time,” he reported.
“I’m going to meet them. I doubt they’ll leave unless they see me,” Kai said calmly.
It seemed he already knew who these three people were. Rising slowly, he stepped out of the room and leaped into the air.
Above the Xiao Dynasty, Lin Kefan and his two companions had been waiting for Kai to appear. Suddenly, the void trembled, and Kai’s figure emerged.
Lin Kefan showed no surprise at his arrival.
Meanwhile, Hua Zhang Weng and Mo Shaying observed Kai with slight astonishment—they hadn’t expected him to be so young.
“Are you three here for the kill order?”
Kai’s gaze swept over them as he spoke.
In truth, he had known Lin Kefan’s identity for a long time, but he couldn’t afford to acknowledge it.
For now, Kai could only feign ignorance. He had beaten and berated his brother-in-law, even scolded his mother-in-law—his only option was to act as if he knew nothing.
As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime. Since Kai supposedly had no knowledge of Lin Kefan and his companions’ identities, any offense he committed could be excused.
“We are…”
Hua Zhang Weng was just about to introduce himself when Lin Kefan raised a hand, cutting him off. Then, turning to Kai, he said, “Yes, we’re here for the killing order.”
Kai glanced at Lin Kefan before suddenly smiling. “You’ve already reached the realm of immortality—a level free of worldly desires. Why would you care so much about a mere 100,000 immortal spirit stones?”
Lin Kefan frowned slightly, unsure of Kai’s intent.
100,000 immortal spirit stones—how could he speak of them so casually?
Just how wealthy was this guy that such a fortune meant nothing to him?
“Stop acting, kid. We’re talking about 100,000 immortal spirit stones! Only 100,000? Are you trying to play the rich young master?” Hua Zhang Weng scoffed at Kai.
“I’m not a rich second-generation heir,” Kai chuckled, “but I really don’t care about 100,000 immortal spirit stones.”
“If you’re short on spirit stones, just come with me—I’ll give them to you.”
“What?”
Lin Kefan and his two companions were dumbfounded. They hadn’t expected Kai to try and recruit them.
“To be honest, I own a fairy stone vein,” Kai continued.
Silence fell among the three.
A fairy stone vein?
What a rare and almost mythical claim. Everyone knew that the fairy stone veins in the Tianren Realm had been exhausted long ago.
Nowadays, fairy stones were painstakingly gathered—collected bit by bit, picked up wherever they could be found.
That was precisely why 100,000 immortal spirit stones held such immense value—enough to make even peak ninth-rank Mahayana Realm masters move at someone’s command.
