Chapter 4760

“You three took Mr. Chen’s fairy stones. Are you really going to betray me?”

Xuan Bin frowned as he spoke to the three black-robed monks.

After all, he was the one who had found them, yet he never truly knew their real identities.

“Everyone has their own ambitions. Fellow Daoist Xuan Bin, I hope you understand—30,000 fairy stones are hard to resist,” one of the black-robed monks said.

“If you dare to stand against Mr. Chen, then you stand against me. And in that case, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!”

Xuan Bin’s face darkened, and he prepared to attack.

Zhou Tang and Hua Yueying also readied themselves. Since their paths were now different, they had no choice but to become enemies.

However, before Xuan Bin could strike, Kai raised his hand to stop him. He spoke calmly, “People die for wealth, just as birds die for food. They helped me for the fairy stones, and now they help the Ten Palaces for the same reason. Naturally, they will side with whoever pays more. That is simply the way of the world.”

“Mr. Chen, but they took your fairy stones first!” Xuan Bin protested angrily.

“I know. But since they chose to betray me, let them go. Everyone has the right to make their own choices. I won’t hold it against them for taking my fairy stones and deciding not to work for me,” Kai replied smoothly.

His words were not just for the monks—he wanted Xuan Bin and the others to see his generosity. If he was this forgiving to traitors, then those who remained loyal to him could expect even greater rewards.

Seeing this, the Tenth Hall Master smiled slightly. “A man dies for money, and a bird dies for food. I like that saying. I’ll pay you now.”

With that, he tossed out a storage bag containing 90,000 fairy stones—exactly 30,000 for each of the three black-robed monks.

The monks caught the bag and then turned to look at Kai and his group.

Xuan Bin and the others remained on high alert, ready to fight at any moment.

“Since you’ve been paid, isn’t it time to act?” the Tenth Hall Master urged.

One of the black-robed monks reached into his robes as if to draw a weapon.

But instead of a weapon, he pulled out a storage bag.
Then, he tossed the storage bag to Kai.

Everyone was stunned by the unexpected gesture.

“Mr. Chen, my brothers and I took 30,000 fairy stones from you, but now I return 50,000. Consider it the price of our betrayal.”

“Although the Tenth Palace Master is lacking in ability, the Tenth Palace is backed by the Temple. We three brothers have no desire to offend the Temple. I hope you understand,” the black-robed monk said.

“I understand,” Kai nodded.

“If Mr. Chen ever needs us elsewhere, we will fulfill our duty without hesitation. But for now, we must withdraw.”

With that, the three black-robed monks turned and left without looking back.

“My fairy stones… my fairy stones!”

The Tenth Palace Master cried out in frustration.

“Tenth Palace Master, not only are you weak, but you’re not very bright either,” Kai said with a faint smile.

“Dammit…” The Tenth Palace Master’s face turned red with anger.

“Tenth Palace Master, do you still stand by your words just now? Because suddenly, I find myself wanting some fairy stones too,” Xuan Bin said mockingly.

The Tenth Palace Master’s expression darkened as his aura surged, releasing an oppressive force that dropped the surrounding temperature to freezing levels.

“You… all of you… damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”

He repeated the words three times, his fury evident.

“I think the one who deserves to die is you!” Lin Kefan sneered before turning to Kai.

“Brother-in-law, what are you waiting for? Just kill him already! If anyone from the Temple dares seek revenge, Sun Moon City will stand behind you!”
