Chapter 4905

Hu Mazi frowned slightly. “Kai, take it easy. I never said I could definitely beat him.”

“Don’t worry, Master Hu. We’ve got allies in the heavens—I have many friends up here,” Kai replied calmly.

It was unclear whether the figure on the high platform was intimidated by Kai or simply lost in thought, but he remained silent, as if pondering something.

Then, the figure slowly stepped down from the platform.

As he approached, everyone could see he was dressed in a dark robe and wore a mask, with only his eyes visible.

Kai was speechless for a moment. He remembered that people who wore masks and hid their faces were rarely good news.

Thinking back to how he’d been tricked by Ning Zhi, his anger flared.

“Which world plane are you from?” the man asked Kai.

“I’m from the World of Heaven and Man,” Kai replied.

“I’m from the World of Wuxu,” Xiu Rui added.

“I know you—you’ve been locked up for hundreds of years,” the man said to Xiu Rui.

Xiu Rui looked embarrassed.

“Your grandpa is from the Sixth Heaven,” Hu Mazi said to the masked man with a look of disdain.

“Sixth Heaven?” The masked man was stunned. He turned to Hu Mazi and said, “You’re definitely an immortal—so how were you led out through the avenue?”

“What business is that of yours? I go wherever I want!” Hu Mazi shot back, using the masked man’s own words against him.

The masked man was so furious he was momentarily speechless.

Though Hu Mazi was clearly an immortal, it wasn’t certain if he was really from the Sixth Heaven.

But the masked man didn’t dare provoke him. If Hu Mazi truly was from the Sixth Heaven, then messing with him would be like grabbing a tiger by the tail!

“You’ve only reached the first level of the immortal realm and were already guided through the avenue. You must be quite talented.”

“I heard you say you know many people in the heavens. Who do you know? Tell me!” the masked man asked.

“It’s better if I don’t. Even if I told you, you probably wouldn’t know them. Honestly, your level is too low to even see them.”
Kai spoke calmly.

But what he said was true. This was merely the First Heaven of the celestial realm. According to Hu Mazi, anyone below the Third Heaven was either a scattered immortal or a cultivator guided by the avenue.

There were no truly powerful figures here—those at the top looked down on anyone below the Third Heaven.

So even if Kai named people he knew, the man in front of him likely wouldn’t recognize them anyway.

“If they’re so great, why not name a few?” the masked man scoffed, thinking Kai was just boasting.

After all, Kai was only a first-grade cultivator in the immortal realm. No matter how talented, how could he possibly know any major figures in the heavens?

“Have you heard of the Wuji Sacred Sect in the heavens?” Kai asked.

The masked man thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Kai stared at him and asked, “Are you a demon?”

“Yes, I am,” the masked man nodded.

“Great. Then this will be easy. I know the Blood Demon, Yin Demon, Wind Demon, and Array Demon of the heavens.”

“And the Red Cloud Demon Lord of the Ninth Heaven? He’s a close friend of mine,” Kai added.

“What nonsense! Are you trying to fool me?” the masked man snorted coldly.

Kai blinked, then replied, “There’s no reason for me to lie. I really know them. Red Cloud Demon Lord is genuinely my friend!”

“It’s obvious you’ve just arrived in the heavens and don’t know the rules. How could there be a Demon Lord in the Ninth Heaven? Demon Lords are in the Twentieth Heaven. The highest rank in the Ninth Heaven is Heavenly Demon!”

“You’re just making things up. Do you think any demon cultivator can be called a Demon Lord?”

The masked man lashed out at Kai.

“Eh?” Kai was momentarily stunned. Then he sent his consciousness inward, calling out to the Red Cloud Demon Lord, “Senior, what’s going on?”

“What’s going on?” The Red Cloud Demon Lord feigned ignorance.

“I’m asking you—what realm are you in? Is that guy right about what he said?” Kai asked.
