Chapter 4796

Kai paid no attention to what the two sisters were thinking and continued walking forward.

As he walked, he took out Tang Xiaoyi’s storage bag and examined its contents.

Being the young master of the Tang Sect, Tang Xiaoyi’s storage bag was bound to contain valuable treasures.

Kai casually tossed a few pills into his mouth from the bag.

In this desolate place, devoid of spiritual energy and resources, one could only rely on what they carried to replenish their strength.

“What’s this?”

Kai suddenly pulled out a glowing sphere from the storage bag.

The orb was transparent, radiating a mysterious energy.

Through its surface, he could see a tiny curled-up creature inside, its skin, flesh, and even blood vessels clearly visible.

“Could this be a spirit beast egg?”

Kai recalled how the little Sky-Devouring Beast also appeared as a sphere when he first found it.

“Mr. Chen, be careful! That’s a Soul-Devouring Beast from the Ling Sect!”

Hongyao’s urgent voice came from behind him.

Before Kai could react, the glowing sphere in his hand suddenly shattered.

The next instant, the Soul-Devouring Beast shot out and disappeared between Kai’s eyebrows!

He stood motionless as Hongyao and Lanyao quickly caught up to him.

“This is bad! Master Chen has been invaded by the Soul-Devouring Beast. His consciousness is about to be devoured!”

Hongyao’s voice was filled with panic.

“Sister, once a Soul-Devouring Beast enters the body, there’s no way to remove it,” Lan Yao said. “In just a few moments, Kai will either lose his mind or die.”

“We should take this opportunity to cut off his head and deliver it to the Huo Clan in exchange for the fairy stones!”

Excitement flickered in Lan Yao’s eyes.

“Shut up!” Hongyao snapped, frowning. “Mr. Chen just spared our lives. How could we repay him with betrayal?”

“Sister, he’s going to die anyway. Even if we don’t do it, someone else will.

Instead of letting others claim the reward, why shouldn’t we take the 200,000 fairy stones for ourselves? That’s 200,000!”

As she spoke, Lan Yao raised her sword, preparing to strike—

Clang!
With a sharp clang, Hong Yao blocked Lan Yao’s sword.

“If you dare to attack, don’t blame me for showing no mercy!” Hong Yao warned coldly.

“Sister, you’re such a fool!”

Lan Yao had no choice but to lower her sword, frustration evident on her face.

Hong Yao turned her gaze to Kai, noticing that he remained completely still, as if he had lost control of his body.

In reality, Kai was perfectly fine. Any Soul-Devouring Beast that entered his sea of consciousness would have already been captured, roasted, and devoured by the Red Cloud Demon Lord.

Even if the Red Cloud Demon Lord weren’t present, this so-called Soul-Devouring Beast wouldn’t have been able to harm Kai’s consciousness in the slightest.

After all, the Daluo Golden Classic resided within Kai’s sea of consciousness—an entity even the Red Cloud Demon Lord feared.

So what was a mere Soul-Devouring Beast to him?

“I heard that if a Soul-Devouring Beast enters someone’s body, it can be sucked out through the mouth. Let me try…”

Without hesitation, Hong Yao leaned in, pressing her lips to Kai’s as she attempted to draw out the creature.

Kai’s eyes widened in shock, his expression a mix of disbelief and embarrassment.

Quickly pushing Hong Yao away, he coughed twice before stammering, “I… I’m fine!”

“Mr. Chen, did I manage to extract the Soul-Devouring Beast?”

Seeing that Kai appeared unharmed, Hong Yao’s face lit up with relief. But a moment later, she frowned.

“Wait… that’s strange. If I had successfully pulled it out, the Soul-Devouring Beast should have entered my body. So why don’t I feel anything?”

“I killed it the moment it entered my body. My mind isn’t so easily devoured.”

Kai smirked.

Despite everything, he appreciated Hong Yao’s gesture. Regardless of whether it was effective, at least she no longer harbored any ill intentions toward him.

But as for Lan Yao…

Kai shifted his gaze toward her, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Sensing the murderous intent directed at her, Lan Yao paled and instinctively stepped back, her entire body tense with fear.
