Chapter 4981

At that moment, Kai suddenly remembered everything.

No wonder the boy looked familiar—he bore a strong resemblance to Huo Zhao.

Back in the Land of No Return, Kai had fought against Huo Zhao. At the time, Huo Zhao wasn’t in his original form but had been summoned.

Even so, Kai hadn’t been a match for him. In the end, he only managed to defeat Huo Zhao with the help of the Red Cloud Demon Lord.

Now, this boy was very likely Huo Zhao’s son.

The thought made Kai nervous. He had only just arrived in the Heavenly Realm—could he already be encountering someone from the temple?

He harbored a deep grudge against the temple. If they discovered he was here, they would undoubtedly stop at nothing to hunt him down.

Right now, Kai’s priority was to leave Feihu City as quickly as possible and keep his identity hidden.

More importantly, he needed to grow stronger. Once his strength increased, he would no longer fear the temple’s pursuit!

Another pressing matter was finding Su Yuqi and Ning Zhi.

They had also been guided to the Heavenly Realm by the Great Dao. If they were among the human race, that would be fine—but if they had ended up with the beast or demon races, things could become very complicated.

Unbeknownst to Kai, Su Yuqi and Ning Zhi’s bloodlines had already transformed into that of the demon race.

And so, Kai and the others obediently followed behind Huo Shizi.

Looking at Huo Shizi’s arrogant demeanor, Kai felt the urge to teach him a lesson, but he restrained himself.

Before long, Huo Shizi arrived at a lavishly decorated mansion. Stopping at the entrance, he waved his hand and said, “You can all go now—I’m going home!”

“Yes, sir!” the team of soldiers responded and came to a halt.

After Huo Shizi entered the mansion, a flash of white light soon erupted from within. As it shot into the sky, Huo Shizi’s figure vanished.

Seeing the light, Kai frowned slightly. The guy actually had a teleportation array in his courtyard. It seemed he had just used it to teleport to that small city on the mountain.

If his guess was right, Huo Zhao was likely in that very town.

“Alright, everyone disperse,” said one of the soldiers, waving his hand.

With that, the group disbanded.

These soldiers had been restless and impatient. Now that they were dismissed, they could finally remove their heavy armor and rest in comfort.

One by one, they began taking off their armor—but Kai and the other four kept theirs on.

“Brother, we’ve been dismissed. Why are you still wearing your armor? Don’t you want to relax?”

The soldier who had spoken to Kai earlier came over and asked.

“Oh, I’m just worried that Master Huo might suddenly come back. If he calls us and we’re not ready, it could be a problem.”

Kai lied.

If they removed their armor, their identities would be exposed instantly.

“Master Huo won’t be back anytime soon. Didn’t you see him use the teleportation array to return home? This mansion is just a temporary stop. He won’t stay here.”

“You should take it off—wearing armor is so uncomfortable…”

Surprisingly, the soldier was quite friendly. He stepped forward and reached out to remove Kai’s helmet and armor.

“Brother, I think I’d better keep it on. I’m too ugly—I might scare you,” Kai quickly stopped him.

“How ugly could it be? You think you can scare me…?”

As he spoke, the soldier casually removed Kai’s helmet.

The moment the helmet came off, a terrifying and grotesque face was revealed, as if it had been severely burned.

“Damn—!” the soldier cried out in shock, dropping the helmet from his hand.

“I told you I might scare you, but you didn’t listen,” Kai said, quickly putting the helmet back on.

“That was horrifying… Were you burned by fire?” The soldier took a deep breath, his face still filled with fear.

But just then, a sharp, sudden voice rang out—and the soldier’s expression changed instantly.
