Chapter 4800
Daomen!
A massive stone archway stood tall, its form shaped by two enormous rocks. No one knew who had carved the word Daomen into its surface.
Beyond the arch, rows of neatly arranged houses stretched into the distance. Most of the time, this place was eerily quiet, with almost no signs of life.
But every hundred years, when the Ladder to Heaven arrived, Daomen became a bustling hub, overflowing with monks from all walks of life.
These monks gathered here to await the arrival of the Ladder to Heaven, using the time to trade with one another.
Kai strode into Daomen alongside the sisters, Hong Yao and Lan Yao, moving with an air of confidence.
He neither concealed his presence nor altered his appearance!
The sight of Kai stunned many onlookers.
After all, the Huo family had placed a 200,000 immortal spirit stone bounty on his head—yet here he was, boldly walking through Daomen as if he had nothing to fear!
With the Ladder to Heaven yet to arrive and no single faction fully controlling Daomen, if someone from the Huo family decided to make a move, there would be no one to stop them.
On both sides of the street, countless pairs of greedy eyes locked onto Kai and his companions.
200,000 immortal spirit stones was an astronomical sum!
Many of the monks gathered here had reached the peak of the ninth rank of the Mahayana Realm, while some had even stepped into the Immortal Realm. For them, immortal spirit stones were a necessity!
Yet, despite the temptation, no one dared to act recklessly.
Kai wasn’t an idiot—his open display of confidence suggested he had already prepared for this. Perhaps he had a powerful force backing him!
Until his true strength and alliances were revealed, no one wanted to be the first to make a move. After all, “the bird that sticks its head out is the first to be shot.”
“Sister, why is everyone staring at us? It’s making me shy… Could it be that we’re just too beautiful?”
Lan Yao, feeling the intense gazes around them, spoke softly with a hint of embarrassment.
“Stop being so narcissistic.” Hong Yao rolled her eyes. “They’re looking at Mr. Chen. In their eyes, he’s nothing more than a walking treasure trove. Who wouldn’t be tempted by 200,000 immortal spirit stones?”
Kai, unfazed by the surrounding stares, casually walked into a crowded area. With a simple motion of his hand, he summoned his Little Fire Qilin.
“What the—?! Is that a mythical beast, Fire Qilin?!”
“Impossible! How could a divine beast exist in the Heavenly Realm?”
“It’s so small… Can that really be a divine beast? It’s no bigger than a dog!”
The crowd was completely drawn to Kai’s Fire Qilin, each person scrutinizing the creature, wondering if it was truly a mythical beast.
“What is Mr. Chen doing? Why is he suddenly making such a spectacle of himself?”
In the shadows, the Tenth Palace Master observed silently, perplexed by Kai’s bold display at Daomen. He had no idea what Kai was trying to accomplish.
“Brother, what do you think he’s planning? Did he come here just to show off?”
Lin Keting, standing among the crowd, turned to Lin Kefan and asked.
“I don’t know either… Maybe he thinks Daomen is within Sun and Moon City’s territory, so he has nothing to fear?”
Even Lin Kefan’s face was filled with uncertainty.
“This is all your fault! My father and master haven’t even arrived yet, and you told Kai too soon! Now he’s acting recklessly!”
“If anything happens to Kai, you’ll be the first to take responsibility. I swear, I won’t let you off the hook!”
Lin Keting shot Lin Kefan a fierce glare, blaming him for the situation.
Lin Kefan sighed. “Girls really are impossible to control once they grow up…”
Suddenly, Kai pointed his Dragon-Slaying Sword at the surrounding crowd, his expression arrogant.
“What are you all staring at? Never seen a mythical beast before?”
“Keep gawking, and I’ll gouge your eyes out!”
“Now get lost!”
The crowd: “……”
Hong Yao and Lan Yao were stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief at Kai’s audacity.
“Mr. Chen, stay low-key! I told you to be confident, but don’t go overboard—you’ll offend everyone!”
“If you push them too far and they all attack at once, we might not even have bones left when this is over!”
Hong Yao leaned in close, whispering nervously into Kai’s ear.
