Chapter 4738
“Since you won’t do it yourself, let me help you…”
Lin Chong spoke coldly, appearing in front of Kai in an instant.
He didn’t give Kai any time to react!
Reaching out, Lin Chong aimed to grab Kai’s arm. The moment he got hold of it, that arm would be crippled!
Kai instinctively threw a punch to resist—he couldn’t let Lin Chong take his arm!
But just as his fist flew forward, Lin Chong’s expression changed drastically. It was as if he had seen a ghost!
For a brief moment, he froze in place, his outstretched hand hanging motionless in the air.
Boom!
Kai’s punch landed squarely on Lin Chong’s chest, forcing him to take three steps back!
Kai stared in confusion. What just happened? Why had Lin Chong suddenly stopped?
Then, out of nowhere—
Plop!
Lin Chong dropped to his knees before Kai!
Kai was completely stunned. What the hell?
Lin Chong was his father-in-law—why was he kneeling?
“I, Lin Chong, pay my respects to the Lord of the Palace!”
Lin Chong lowered his head and kowtowed!
Kai froze for a moment, then quickly glanced at the Tianlong Ring on his hand.
“You… you’re also part of the Tianlong Palace?”
He asked in shock.
“Yes! I am one of the halls of the Tianlong Palace. I had no idea you were the Lord of the Palace!”
Lin Chong’s voice trembled slightly. “I deeply regret offending you just now. Please forgive me, my Lord!”
His body was still shaking!
“Ignorance is not a crime! Get up quickly…”
Kai hurriedly helped Lin Chong to his feet.
At that moment, excitement surged through him—he never expected Sun Moon City to be part of his power!
“Palace Master, please have a seat. I’ll prepare some tea for you…”
Lin Chong gestured for Kai to sit on the throne before personally making tea for him.
“Don’t call me Palace Master. I don’t want my identity to be known. Just call me by my name!”
Kai didn’t want word of his position as the Tianlong Palace Master to spread.
“That won’t do. Then I’ll call you Mr. Chen!”
Lin Chong still didn’t dare to address him by name.
“Suit yourself.”
Kai nodded, glancing around the magnificent palace before asking, “Tell me, how powerful is Sun Moon City in the Heavenly World? Can it handle the Ten Palaces?”
The Ten Palaces had been a persistent thorn in his side, and Kai had long wanted to eliminate them.
“Dealing with the Ten Palaces wouldn’t be difficult, but their real backing is the Temple, and beyond that, the entire God Clan. If we were to confront the Temple directly, Sun Moon City’s strength alone wouldn’t be enough.”
“But don’t worry, Mr. Chen. From what I know, only the Ten Palaces exist in the Heavenly World. The other branches of the Temple are not here, and I have no idea what plane they reside in.”
“Even if we destroy the Ten Palaces, the Temple may struggle to send reinforcements in time.”
“Within the Heavenly World, Sun Moon City ranks among the top three in strength. I also have ties with a few of the Five Domain Masters—they are old acquaintances.”
“However, the Ladder to Heaven is about to appear soon, and I have no idea how many cultivators from the Heavenly World are still alive within it. Those who have survived a hundred years in that realm must be terrifyingly strong. Their existence remains a mystery.”
Lin Chong explained everything in detail.
“Top three in the Heavenly World?”
Kai couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. With that kind of power, he could walk freely in this world without fear!
“By the way, many beings from the Heavenly Realm are trapped here. How do they compare to you in strength?”
Kai asked.
“The immortals from the Heavenly Realm are trapped within the Heavenly World, their strength suppressed and deteriorating. They haven’t been able to cultivate for thousands of years.”
“Against them in their current state, I have nothing to fear. Take Taoist Wuji—he was once an immortal from the Heavenly Realm. If he hadn’t taken refuge in Sun Moon City, his strength would have declined even further.”
“However, the Great Formation of Heaven and Earth has started to shift. Once it breaks, these beings will regain their strength and return to the Heavenly Realm. When that happens, I won’t stand a chance against them.”
Lin Chong said grimly.
