Chapter 4980

“Brother, but all the soldiers are wearing armor—we don’t have any!” Fengxian pointed out.

“That’s easy. Wait here for me,” Kai replied before vanishing in an instant.

When he returned, he was holding four sets of armor, clearly taken from actual soldiers.

“Hurry and put them on. I’ve already dealt with the bodies of those four soldiers—they won’t be discovered anytime soon,” Kai said as he began putting on his own armor.

Soon, all four of them had donned the gear and concealed their auras.

Now, they could walk around openly without raising suspicion.

“You four—have you seen anything?” a team of soldiers approached just then, and their captain questioned Kai’s group.

“Reporting—nothing found,” Kai replied.

“Strange… did those four really just vanish?” the captain muttered, full of doubt.

“Let’s check elsewhere. Maybe we’ll turn something up,” Kai suggested, ready to lead Fengxian and the others away.

“No need to keep searching. Come back to the city with me. Those four can’t possibly escape this area,” said Captain Zhanbing.

Kai felt helpless but had no choice. He could only blend in with the group and follow the captain back into the city.

“Any results? Did you find them?” the young man asked as soon as he saw Captain Zhanbing return.

“Sir, it’s as if they vanished into thin air. We’ve searched the entire area, but there’s no trace or aura left behind,” the captain reported cautiously.

“Useless. Send more people to search tomorrow. They haven’t left the region,” the young man ordered coldly.

“Yes, sir!” Captain Zhanbing replied, visibly nervous.

The young man turned to leave, but the captain of the soldiers quickly followed and said, “Prince, there are people of unknown origin nearby. For your safety, you should allow an escort to accompany you!”

After speaking, the captain waved toward Kai and his team and ordered, “Your unit will protect Prince Huo. If anything happens to him, none of you will survive!”

The young man did not object and casually led Kai and several dozen soldiers as he strolled through the city streets.

On the street, everyone who saw the young man immediately stopped, knelt, and bowed.

However, the young man wore a cold and arrogant expression, not even glancing at those kneeling around him.

“Who is this guy, really? Why is he so revered? Everyone’s bowing like he’s a god,” the Crazy Immortal muttered under his breath.

“I’ve never heard of such a powerful figure among the human race in the First Heaven. Could he be from the Third Heaven?” Bai Yi also wondered aloud, puzzled by the young man’s identity and the beastmen’s willing submission.

“Enough, stop talking!” Kai warned.

They weren’t safe yet. If they were discovered now, it would be a disaster.

As he spoke, Kai focused intently on the young man. His heart was filled with suspicion.

Looking at the youth ahead, Kai felt a strong sense of déjà vu but couldn’t recall where he had seen him before.

“Brother, this Huo Shizi is so arrogant. All those people are kneeling, and he doesn’t even spare them a glance!” Kai whispered to a nearby soldier, trying to sound casual.

“Shh…” The soldier gasped, visibly startled. “Are you trying to get yourself killed? How dare you talk about Huo Shizi like that?”

“Listen, Huo Shizi is from the Temple. If he even looks someone in the eye, it means he acknowledges them.”

Kai was stunned. He hadn’t expected the young man to be a member of the Temple.

No wonder he carried himself with such arrogance—it turned out he belonged to the divine clan.

Though clearly human in appearance, his noble bloodline and affiliation with the Temple made him someone the beastmen revered. The divine clan was known for its pride and elitism.

Now Kai finally understood why Feihu City feared a human. He was from the Temple!

Buzz…

Suddenly, something clicked in Kai’s mind, and his eyes locked back onto the young man with renewed intensity.
