Chapter 4915

Seeing this, the big man was about to strike again, but Kai quickly stepped in to stop him.

“Brother, hold on a moment. It’s just one thousand immortal coins—it’s nothing!”

The big man paused and looked at Kai. “A first-grade Immortal Realm cultivator, and you made it to the heavens? Either you’re extremely talented, or you had someone backing you. Must’ve come in through the back door!”

Kai grinned. “Yeah, I came through the back door. Just strolling around here for fun.”

“You might sneak into the First Heaven that way, but how did you get into Rhino City?”

Someone in the crowd asked suspiciously.

After all, with Kai’s strength, there was no way he’d have an official pass. So how did he enter Rhino City?

“I’m friends with the princess of Rhino City. We hang out often—she invited me over.”

At this point, Kai could only keep bluffing, hoping to talk his way out of the situation.

“You’re friends with the princess?”

The crowd stared at Kai in disbelief.

How could a first-grade Immortal Realm cultivator be friends with the princess?

Everyone knew the princess was born in the heavenly realm and possessed immortal bones from birth!

How could someone like her associate with a low-level cultivator like Kai?

“Stop bragging. There’s no way the princess is your friend. We can’t even get a glimpse of her—how could you be close to her?”

The big guy clearly wasn’t buying it. He might be large, but he wasn’t stupid.

“You don’t believe me? Fine, take a look at this.”

Kai suddenly remembered the small token Niu Li had given him, so he pulled it out.

The big man took a glance and was visibly shocked. “That’s definitely the token from the City Lord’s Mansion! Looks like you weren’t lying.”

“But even if the princess is your friend, you still need to pay the immortal coins today!”

“We never said we wouldn’t! We just don’t have enough on us right now. We’ll go to Tianbao Pavilion and exchange some immortal coins for you!”

Kai had overheard someone mention Tianbao Pavilion earlier, so he quickly used it as an excuse.

“Alright then, I’ll go with you!”

The big guy jumped down from the high platform.

“Brother, you’ve got a business to watch here—no need to come with us. We’ll definitely be back after exchanging the coins!”

Kai didn’t want the big guy following them—his plan was to ditch the place as soon as possible!
“Don’t worry. With this thing here, no one’s going to touch it. Nothing has ever gone missing in Rhino City!”

The big man waved his hand confidently.

Seeing this, Kai could only nod helplessly.

It seemed they would have to wait for an opportunity to escape—after all, they had nothing to exchange for immortal coins!

“Brother, could you lead the way for us? We just arrived and aren’t familiar with the location of Tianbao Pavilion,” Kai said politely.

The big man nodded, then led Kai and the others toward Tianbao Pavilion.

“Master Hu, can you knock this big guy out? Then the three of us can make a run for it,” Kai whispered to Hu Mazi.

“I can’t. This guy is in the Scattered Immortal Realm!” Hu Mazi quickly shook his head.

“What? You were acting all high and mighty earlier, and even offered a thousand immortal coins!” Kai glared at Hu Mazi.

“I was just being compassionate! Those two young girls looked so pitiful—I was afraid someone would mistreat them,” Hu Mazi said, a little embarrassed.

After all, he was the one who caused this mess.

“Forget it. The way you handle things, those girls would probably suffer more with you than with anyone else,” Kai muttered, rolling his eyes.

Hu Mazi said nothing in response—because Kai wasn’t wrong.

“Fellow Daoist Chen, don’t be too pessimistic,” Xiu Rui chimed in. “Let’s wait until we get to Tianbao Pavilion. Once we gather everything we have, it might be worth a thousand immortal coins.”

“That’s our only option.” Kai sighed.

Soon, the big man led the three of them to Tianbao Pavilion.

Tianbao Pavilion was operated under the authority of the City Lord’s Mansion—private transactions were not allowed.
