Chapter 4770
Perhaps the two had been each other’s first love but were separated for various reasons.
Hua Yueying’s mother could never let go of the past, and the torment in her heart eventually gave rise to inner demons, leading to a fatal cultivation backlash.
Kai had seen too many such melodramatic tragedies in the secular world.
Could it be that Hua Yueying was actually the daughter of the Lord of the Northern Territory?
As this thought crossed his mind, the Lord of the Northern Territory suddenly forced out a drop of his blood essence and gently pressed it against Hua Yueying’s forehead.
A crimson light flashed, and to everyone’s shock, Hua Yueying’s body absorbed the blood essence instantly.
“Daughter… You are my daughter!”
The Lord of the Northern Territory pulled Hua Yueying into his embrace, tears streaming down his face.
Hua Yueying was bewildered. She had never met her father and had no idea who he was.
Yet, her body had absorbed his blood essence, leaving no doubt—the Lord of the Northern Territory was indeed her father.
“What’s going on? What’s happening?”
Hua Yueying asked, still confused.
“It’s a long story. Let’s not get into it now—I’ll explain everything to you later.”
The Lord of the Northern Territory gently wiped his tears before his expression darkened.
“Now tell me, who bullied you?”
Hua Yueying turned and pointed directly at the Tenth Palace Lord.
“It was him…”
The Tenth Palace Lord swallowed hard, resisting the urge to curse.
What nonsense! It was clearly her who had barged into his domain and bullied him! How had he suddenly become the villain?
The Lord of the Northern Territory turned to the Tenth Palace Lord, his gaze cold and sharp.
“God Clan?” he asked, frowning slightly.
“Yes, we are from the Temple.”
The Tenth Palace Lord nodded cautiously.
The Lord of the Northern Territory then looked back at Hua Yueying.
“Kid, how did you manage to provoke those people from the Temple?”
“They wanted to kill Mr. Chen, so I stepped in to help.”
Hua Yueying pointed at Kai.
“The boy who was holding you?”
The Lord of the Northern Territory shifted his gaze to Kai, scrutinizing him carefully.
After a brief silence, the Lord of the Northern Territory suddenly smiled.
“My daughter has good taste. Although this kid’s cultivation level isn’t high, he has strength and a solid background. If I’m not mistaken, the one who scared the Lord of the Western Territory away is your backer, right?”
Kai was momentarily stunned before replying with slight embarrassment, “Senior, how did you know?”
Back then, Mr. Shi had sent the Lord of the Western Territory fleeing with just a single look, but very few people had witnessed it. Moreover, the Lord of the Northern Territory hadn’t even been present at the time.
“Of course I know. The Lord of the Western Territory was so frightened that he practically wet himself running away. I happened to see that humiliating scene.”
The Lord of the Northern Territory chuckled.
“But since you have such a powerful backer, why are you still being hunted?”
Kai explained, “I may have a backer, but I can’t rely on him for everything. Mr. Shi wants me to experience hardships firsthand—without that, I won’t truly grow.”
“Good! You have ambition. My daughter chose well!”
The Lord of the Northern Territory nodded approvingly, clearly satisfied.
Then, he turned to the Lord of the Tenth Palace and asked coldly,
“Are you going to kill yourself, or should I do it for you?”
The Lord of the Tenth Palace frowned.
“I am a member of the Temple. Aren’t you, a mere domain lord, afraid of our power?”
The Lord of the Northern Territory smirked.
“Afraid!” he said plainly.
The Tenth Palace Lord looked puzzled.
“If you fear the Temple, then how dare you act against me?”
The Lord of the Northern Territory sneered.
“I fear the Temple, but I don’t fear you. You’re nothing within the Temple’s hierarchy. The weakest of the Ten Palace Lords—do you really think you matter?”
“If I kill you, the Temple may not even bother with me. They’ll simply send another to take your place.”
“Besides, the Heaven and Earth Formation now covers the Heaven and Human Realm. Do you think the true powerhouses of your Temple can even set foot here?”
His voice turned icy as he spoke.
The moment his words fell, his right hand suddenly lifted, unleashing a terrifying pressure toward the Lord of the Tenth Palace.
Boom!
The Tenth Palace Lord’s eyes widened in shock. He instinctively tried to raise his hand to counter the attack, only to find that the space around him had solidified—he was completely immobilized!
Panic spread across his face.
Seeing the opportunity, Kai didn’t hesitate. With a swift motion, he wielded the Dragon Slaying Sword.
He had promised Yun Li not to kill the Tenth Palace Lord, but he had never said he wouldn’t cripple him.
If the Tenth Palace Lord was rendered powerless, he would no longer be a threat.
As Kai charged forward, the Tenth Palace Lord’s pupils shrank. In desperation, he let out a furious roar—one that echoed like a wild beast’s cry.
A terrifying force erupted from his body, instantly shattering the space that had imprisoned him!
