Chapter 4985

Kai and his group returned to the city.

By now, the city was in complete chaos, with a large number of soldiers running through the streets.

Kai frowned slightly. He knew they had to escape as soon as possible. Master Huo was surely chasing them through the teleportation array by now.

But with so many soldiers present, escaping the city wouldn’t be easy.

“Niu Ben, do you have a way to contact your father?”

Kai hoped to reach the Gadfly and have him send troops to attack Feihu City.

If Gadfly led an army to assault the city, the local soldiers would likely be redeployed, reducing the pressure on Kai and his companions.

However, when Kai first arrived, he had forgotten to bring a sound transmission jade slip. Now, he had no way to reach Gadfly.

“I can contact my father,”
Niu Ben said, pulling a token from his robe. It was identical to the one Niu Li had once given Kai.

After Niu Ben dripped a drop of blood onto the token, he quickly established contact with the Gadfly.

Kai wasted no time and directly explained the situation.

Gadfly promptly mobilized an army of over 100,000 soldiers and marched toward Feihu City with great force.

“In a short time, the troops probably won’t be withdrawn. Where can the five of us hide?”
Bai Yi asked Kai.

Kai, unfamiliar with the city, didn’t know where they could seek refuge.

“I know a place—follow me. The people imprisoned there are all human cultivators. If we rescue them, we might stand a better chance of breaking out together,”
Aisha said.

“You just want us to save your people,”
Crazy Immortal rolled his eyes. “We’re not stupid. That place must be heavily guarded.”

“There really aren’t many guards!”
Aisha said anxiously.

She genuinely hoped Kai and the others would help her rescue her people—not just for their sake, but because a larger group would have a better shot at escaping.

“You lead the way,”
Kai said.
Kai asked Aisha to lead the way.

Aisha nodded and guided Kai and his team through the city.

She was clearly much more familiar with the city’s layout than the others.

Several times, they were nearly discovered by patrolling soldiers, but Aisha managed to skillfully avoid them each time.

Before long, they arrived at a massive city wall—like a fortress within the city. The towering stone walls were stained blood red.

“All the human cultivators are imprisoned here,” Aisha said, pointing to the wall. “With many guards out searching for us, this place is probably less guarded now.”

“They’d never expect us to come back here instead of escaping, so we can catch them off guard.”

“Alright, we’ll do it your way,” Kai nodded. “Let’s put on our armor and go in first.”

Kai and his team donned their armor once again and brought Aisha to the city wall.

As they reached the entrance, an old man stepped forward and blocked their path.

“This is a prison. No one is allowed inside without a military order,”
the old man said coldly.

“We’re here to escort this fugitive. She escaped from prison and we caught her,”
Kai said, stepping forward and pointing at Aisha.

The moment the old man saw her, his eyes flared with anger.

“Damn it! I got scolded for letting you escape,”
he growled, stepping forward and striking Aisha across the face.

The slap made her mouth and nose bleed, but she endured it and glared at him in silence.

“Good work, brothers,”
the old man said, then waved his hand.

The massive city gate slowly creaked open.

Kai followed the old man inside, taking Aisha with him.
