Chapter 4759
Rumble…
Suddenly, a violent shockwave erupted from the center of the battlefield, forcing everyone to retreat repeatedly in alarm.
The Tenth Palace Master’s Dharma projection shattered, dispersing into waves of energy that swept through the hall!
Kai was caught in the blast and sent flying backward, feeling as though a massive mountain was crushing down on him.
Seeing this, Hua Yueying quickly cast spells to stabilize him, her forehead already drenched in cold sweat.
As soon as Kai regained his footing, he swung the Dragon Slaying Sword once more!
Bang!
The sword light shattered upon impact, and Kai was thrown back again. Despite exerting all his strength, he still couldn’t defeat the Tenth Palace Master!
Just as he was sent flying, a gentle force enveloped him, steadying his body instantly.
Kai knew—this was Hua Yueying’s doing.
Without her support, he wouldn’t have lasted this long against the Tenth Palace Master!
For the first time, the Tenth Palace Master’s expression grew serious, his former disdain gone. His right hand was now cracked open, blood streaming down his fingers!
He turned to Hua Yueying, his eyes dark with killing intent.
If not for her interference, Kai would have lost long ago!
“What is your relationship with Kai? Why are you helping him so much?” the Tenth Palace Master demanded.
Hua Yueying smiled faintly. “He pays, I work. That’s all.”
“Hired help?”
The Tenth Palace Master was momentarily stunned. His gaze swept across the others. “All of you?”
They remained silent, but every single one of them nodded.
After all, who among them hadn’t accepted Kai’s immortal stones?
The Tenth Palace Master narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Just how many resources did Kai spend to hire all of you against my Tenth Palace?”
The Tenth Palace Master was genuinely curious—just how much had Kai offered these people to make them go against his Ten Palaces?
“Ten thousand Immortal Spirit Stones.” Cang Yue held up a single finger as he spoke.
“Ten thousand?” The Tenth Palace Master was momentarily stunned before bursting into laughter. “Hahaha! Ridiculous! You’re willing to risk your lives for a mere ten thousand Immortal Spirit Stones?”
His eyes swept over the group before he declared, “I’ll double it! I’ll give each of you twenty thousand Immortal Spirit Stones. Leave the Ten Palaces now, and the stones will be transferred immediately!”
Xuan Bin and the others hesitated for a brief moment, visibly shaken by the offer.
“Don’t let him sway you! No matter how much he offers, it’s meaningless. We won’t abandon our brother-in-law.”
Lin Kefan quickly stepped forward, cutting off the Tenth Palace Master’s attempt to sow discord.
Of course, calling Kai brother-in-law in front of everyone made it clear—he had no intention of leaving, not even for twenty thousand Immortal Spirit Stones!
The Tenth Palace Master ignored Lin Kefan and turned his sharp gaze toward Hua Yueying.
“Think carefully. As long as you stop helping Kai, I’ll give you twenty thousand Immortal Spirit Stones on the spot. If you assist me instead, I’ll make it thirty thousand…”
He knew that Hua Yueying, as an array master, was significantly affecting his ability to fight at full strength.
Kai glanced at Hua Yueying, equally curious about her decision.
After all, their alliance was purely based on mutual interest. They hadn’t known each other for long.
Hua Yueying, however, remained expressionless. “I am a person of principle. Since I’ve accepted Mr. Chen’s payment, I will see this through to the end.”
Her voice was cold and unwavering.
Kai felt a surge of gratitude and gave her a thumbs-up. “Miss Hua, well said!”
The Tenth Palace Master clenched his jaw, his expression darkening with frustration.
At that moment, three black-robed monks stepped forward.
“Tenth Palace Master, do you mean what you say?” one of them asked.
The Tenth Palace Master nodded firmly. “Of course. I always keep my word. If you withdraw and leave the Ten Palaces, I’ll give each of you twenty thousand Immortal Spirit Stones.”
One of the monks raised an eyebrow. “Didn’t you just say thirty thousand?”
“Thirty thousand is if you help me kill Kai,” the Tenth Palace Master clarified.
The monks exchanged glances before one of them spoke. “Bring the Immortal Spirit Stones first—then we’ll act.”
