Chapter 4984

After all, every teleportation array has its own activation method. Although Kai was skilled in array formations, he might not necessarily know how to activate someone else’s teleportation array.

“Don’t underestimate my son-in-law. He’s good at everything,”
Bai Yi said proudly to Fengxian.

“Get into the array quickly. I’ll activate it now.”

“This thing is child’s play to me…”
Kai said confidently, without exaggeration.

Everyone stepped into the teleportation array. As Kai’s fingers traced through the air, the formation lit up. With a flash of white light, their figures vanished instantly.

Moments later, when Kai and the others opened their eyes, they found themselves in a completely different courtyard.

The courtyard was surrounded by towering red stone walls, each over a hundred meters high.

Everything around them was eerily quiet—there wasn’t a soul in sight.

But before they could react, the red walls around them began to shift slowly.

Then, one by one, soldiers emerged from behind the walls.

Huo Shizi walked forward with a cold, arrogant expression on his face.

“How dare you use the teleportation array to enter the palace without permission? Are you not afraid of death?”

As he said this, Huo Shizi suddenly narrowed his eyes.
“Human race?”

He was staring at Aisha.

“Master, they’re probably just fugitives who stumbled into the teleportation array by accident and ended up here,”
one of the soldier captains stepped forward and explained.

Huo Shizi’s face turned grim as he snorted coldly.
“Useless fools. How could you let fugitives enter my estate?”

“Capture them and send them back immediately…”
he ordered calmly.

Boom!

The surrounding soldiers moved at once, releasing a powerful aura that pressed down on Kai and the others.

These soldiers were clearly elites—far stronger than the ones stationed in the other cities.
Their overwhelming presence could be felt through the intense spiritual pressure they exuded.

“Damn it, looks like we have no choice but to fight to the death…”

Seeing the situation, Fengxian released his aura, ready to begin a killing spree.

Bai Yi and Aisha also prepared for battle.

Niu Ben, still just a child, nervously hid behind Kai.

“Don’t worry…”
Kai said calmly, raising his palm as a ripple spread across the space.

In an instant, all the soldiers in the area froze.

It was as if time itself had stopped.

Seeing this, Huo Shizi’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Hundreds of soldiers were suspended mid-air, frozen in odd positions. Huo Shizi turned to flee, but the ripple reached him as well.

His body became completely immobile—locked in place along with the frozen space.

Even when he summoned all his strength and released his full immortal power, he couldn’t move an inch.

At that moment, Kai’s face darkened slightly, and a faint glow pulsed from his palm.

“Time magic?”
Fengxian’s eyes widened. “Brother, you can actually control time magic? That’s incredible!”

But Kai ignored him and said,
“Get ready—we’re leaving.”

Using time magic consumed a significant amount of temporal essence, and Kai couldn’t maintain it for long.

Escaping through brute force would be nearly impossible, especially with so many members of the Eight Palaces likely present in the city.

With a flash of white light, Kai and the others vanished through the teleportation array.

The moment they disappeared, the space trembled violently, and all the frozen figures crashed to the ground.

Huo Shizi’s body jolted, and he nearly lost his balance.

“This guy actually knows time magic. We have to capture him—pursue them!”
Huo Shizi shouted as he led several men into the teleportation array.

Because the array was too small to transport a large number of soldiers at once, it was impossible to send everyone through.

Huo Shizi took only a few elite soldiers and chased after Kai through the teleportation array.
