Chapter 4773
At this moment, escaping was the only option!
Hua Yueying swiftly cast a formation, weaving a silk-like barrier of light between Kai and the Tenth Palace Master’s group.
Seizing the opportunity, Kai and the others turned and fled!
“Head to Sun Moon City!” Lin Kefan urged.
“No—go to the Xiao Dynasty!” Kai shouted, leading everyone toward Xiao Dynasty’s direction.
He couldn’t risk dragging Sun Moon City into this battle. Even if they managed to win, countless lives would be lost.
Xiao Dynasty, however, was different. It was protected by Mr. Shi’s powerful aura, and no one dared to act recklessly within its borders.
If their pursuers followed them there, they might provoke Mr. Shi’s wrath! And if Mr. Shi intervened, those enemies would be doomed.
Beyond that, Kai had another reason to head to Xiao Dynasty—Yun Li.
Yun Li was currently in Xiao Dynasty, and if the Tenth Palace Master’s forces pursued them there, Kai could count on Yun Li to step in when the situation became truly dire.
“You think you can escape? Keep dreaming!”
The Tenth Palace Master sneered before vanishing into thin air, instantly breaking through Hua Yueying’s barrier!
Kai’s expression hardened. Gripping the Dragon Slaying Sword, he suddenly turned and swung a powerful slash.
Boom!
The force sent Kai hurtling back a thousand feet, but it also forced the Tenth Palace Master to stop!
Kai was buying time for the others. Regardless of whether Xuan Bin and his group had helped him for the sake of the fairy stones, he couldn’t let them fall into danger now.
Having stalled the Tenth Palace Master, Kai turned and resumed his escape. Blood streaked his body, the wounds deep and shocking!
The Tenth Palace Master’s eyes narrowed before he waved his hand. “Chase them down!”
Huo Qing and the others, along with the forces of the Huo family, immediately gave chase!
As he fled, Kai continuously set up illusionary formations. Hastily arranged, they weren’t flawless, but there was no time for perfection.
All he needed was to hold them off for one minute—just enough time to reach Xiao Dynasty!
In the vast void of the Heavenly Realm, several streaks of light shot across the sky like meteors, vanishing in an instant!
Close behind, more than ten rays of light followed in relentless pursuit!
At this moment, everyone pushed their speed to the limit, exhausting their spiritual power without hesitation!
Before long, the imperial city of the Xiao Dynasty came into view, and Kai finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Quick! Enter Xiao Dynasty’s territory!”
Kai urged Lin Kefan and the others to move swiftly into the Xiao Dynasty.
The Tenth Palace Master led his forces in pursuit, but just as they neared the borders of the Xiao Dynasty, Huo Qing suddenly halted them.
“Butler Lu, Brother, we’re approaching the Xiao Dynasty—be cautious!”
Huo Qing warned his elder brother and the old steward who had arrived with them.
“The Xiao Dynasty? Is it really that powerful? Why should we be cautious?”
Huo Ming, Huo Qing’s elder brother, asked in confusion.
“Stop wasting time—chase them down! The so-called great forces of the Tianren Realm are all weaklings. The true masters have long since gone into seclusion!”
The Tenth Palace Master snapped impatiently.
Huo Qing merely cast him a glance and ignored him.
At this point, most of the Tenth Palace’s forces were either dead or gravely injured, leaving their leader nearly powerless.
Huo Qing had always looked down on the Tenth Palace Master. If not for Old Qian stepping in, he wouldn’t have cared about the man’s fate at all.
Now that only the Huo family’s forces remained, he had no reason to acknowledge the Tenth Palace Master’s authority.
“Brother, you don’t understand. The Xiao Dynasty is under the protection of a powerful master. If we take action here, we could suffer serious consequences,” Huo Qing warned.
“A master? How powerful?” Huo Ming asked skeptically.
“He has killed people—only to resurrect them afterward…”
Huo Qing said gravely.
The Tenth Palace Master’s expression shifted as he immediately realized who Huo Qing was referring to.
It had to be Luo Ta—the one who had died and then mysteriously returned to life!
“Impossible… There’s someone like that in the Heavenly Realm?” Huo Ming was momentarily stunned.
Even Butler Lu frowned, his expression grave. “Young Master, the ability to kill and resurrect at will… Even immortals rarely possess such power. How could someone like that exist in the Heavenly Realm?”
