Chapter 4797

“Master Chen, I can be reckless at times. I hope you won’t hold it against me!”

Seeing the tension, Hong Yao quickly pleaded for mercy.

“You’re lucky your sister intervened—otherwise, you’d be a corpse by now!”

Kai shot a warning glance at Lan Yao before turning away. He had no interest in getting further involved with the twin sisters.

But just as he left, the two of them hurried after him.

Kai frowned. “What now?”

“Master Chen, we wish to follow you,” Hong Yao said bluntly.

“I don’t keep people who tried to kill me by my side,” Kai replied coldly, shaking his head.

“Master Chen, I admit my mistake, but you should also think this through. Wuwang Land belongs to the Huo family. They placed a bounty on you yet haven’t personally pursued you, which means they want you to become a fugitive—hunted by everyone.”

“All the cultivators who come to Wuwang Land are from hidden sects and powerful families. If these people set their sights on you, you’ll never have a moment of peace!”

Hong Yao kept pace with Kai as she spoke.

“And you have a way to stop me from being targeted?” Kai asked.

Hong Yao nodded. “Yes! The reason you’re being hunted is because your apparent cultivation level is too low. I suggest you stop concealing your true strength. If people realize your real power, many will think twice before challenging you!”

“If Master Chen had shown his true strength earlier, Tang Xiaoyi wouldn’t have dared to provoke you so easily.”

Kai chuckled. “The third level of the Mahayana Realm is my true level. I’m not hiding anything.”

“What?!”

Hong Yao’s eyes widened in shock.

A cultivator at the third stage of the Mahayana Realm had just slain a ninth-stage Mahayana expert with a single strike?

That was simply unbelievable!

After a brief moment of shock, Hong Yao continued, “Master Chen, since you possess such extraordinary talent and can fight beyond your realm, you should head to the Dao Sect. With the Heavenly Ladder yet to descend, nearly all cultivators have gathered there.”

“Once Master Chen arrives, he should boldly showcase his strength. That way, people will fear your power and think twice before provoking you.”

“Master Chen could also flaunt his connections, like the emperor of Sun Moon City. Imagine ordering him to give you a back massage in the middle of the street—who would dare challenge you then?”

“Even the Huo and Tang families might not have the courage to seek revenge against Master Chen…”

Kai listened to Hong Yao’s analysis and smiled faintly. “So, you’re suggesting that I show off?”

Hong Yao nodded. “If Master Chen is truly powerful, then demonstrate it. If not, at least make it look that way. Just ensure no one dares to take advantage of you!”

“But how would I even pretend? My cultivation level is too low to fake it,” Kai mused. “I do have a sword, though. Maybe that would work?”

“I’m afraid that won’t be enough. A precious sword alone isn’t convincing—most people wouldn’t recognize its value. Does Master Chen have anything more impressive?” Hong Yao asked.

“Then I’ll pretend I have a divine beast, claim to know celestial arts, act like I understand formations, say I can heal the sick, boast about wielding a divine bow, and insist I have a backer who can destroy the entire Heavenly Human Realm with a single strike!”

Kai rattled off his exaggerated ideas one after another.

“No, no!” Hong Yao waved her hands, stopping him. “Master Chen, your boasting needs to be believable! Destroying the world with one palm, commanding a divine beast, wielding the bow of a celestial king, and mastering immortal arts all sound too far-fetched. If it’s not credible, no one will believe it.”

“Boasting?”

Kai smirked, and suddenly, a wave of heat radiated outward.

A moment later, the little Qilin beast appeared beside him.
