Chapter 5025
“Judging by your daughter’s appearance, she’s still a virgin,” Kai sneered, “but I wonder if she can handle my touch!”
As he spoke, Kai grabbed Huo Jingjing and began groping her!
“Stop!” Huo Zhao roared in fury.
But despite his anger, Huo Zhao obediently withdrew his pressure. The cultivators of the Cangxuan Continent all breathed a collective sigh of relief—if the pressure had continued, they would have been crushed to death!
“Kai, doing something so shameless in front of so many people—don’t you feel any shame?” Huo Zhao gritted his teeth, barely suppressing his fury.
“Shame? Why should I feel ashamed?” Kai retorted coldly. “I don’t steal or rob. I’m not like you—bullying the weak, plundering resources, and invading other people’s lands.”
“You temple people always act so high and mighty, but now you come crawling for the resources of the Cangxuan Continent? Do you still think you’re superior?”
Kai’s words hit hard, and Huo Zhao’s face darkened.
“Enough! Release my son and daughter immediately, and I’ll let go of the hatred between you and the temple,” Huo Zhao said in a low voice, his tone threatening yet pleading.
Kai burst out laughing. “Don’t talk big. You’re just the Lord of the Eighth Palace—do you think you can represent the temple?”
“If it comes to it, I’ll have you stripped of your position as the Lord of the Eighth Palace. You’re nothing more than an empty title. Don’t act so arrogant.”
“You—” Huo Zhao’s face twisted with rage, but Kai’s words left him speechless.
Huo Zhao knew all too well—he, as the Lord of the Eighth Palace, held little real power. Within the temple, he ranked at the very bottom.
Especially after being summoned back to the Heavenly Realm by the Huo family’s descendants, only to return injured, he’d become a laughingstock in the temple.
Even the temple’s resource allocations to the Eighth Palace had been slashed.
Huo Zhao had no choice but to lead the Eighth Palace into the First Heaven, occupy Flying Tiger City, and use it as a base to plunder resources.
Now, seeing things turn out like this, Huo Zhao felt a deep bitterness in his heart—but he couldn’t voice it aloud.
Huo Jingjing pleaded with Huo Zhao.
At the same time, the Huo family’s young master cried out in terror, “Father, save me! I don’t want to die!”
Kai looked at Huo Zhao and said coldly,
“Huo Zhao, take your people and leave the Cangxuan Continent, and I’ll let your son and daughter go. How about it?”
Huo Zhao’s expression darkened as he replied,
“Impossible. I won’t abandon the brothers of the Eighth Palace just to save my children.”
“You can kill them both if you want, but remember this: I’ll make sure everyone on the Cangxuan Continent dies with me.”
His grim words sent panic rippling through the cultivators of the Cangxuan Continent.
Kai’s brow furrowed. While he could escape the pursuit of the Eighth Palace, he couldn’t protect the countless people of the Cangxuan Continent.
Mo Qingyun’s expression grew tense as well.
She had promised her best friend Lan Lianhua, but if the Eighth Palace ended up massacring the entire Cangxuan Continent, Mo Qingyun knew she wouldn’t be able to live with herself.
Mo Qingyun glanced at Kai, pinning all her hopes on him.
It all depended on how Kai negotiated with Huo Zhao.
Kai stared at Huo Zhao and sneered,
“Huo Zhao, stop your boasting. You’re my defeated opponent. I bested you in the Heavenly Realm, and I can do it again here.”
“Do you dare to fight me one-on-one? If you lose, you’ll lead your people out of the Cangxuan Continent immediately.”
“If I lose, I’ll let your son and daughter go right away, and I’ll never interfere in the affairs of the Cangxuan Continent again.”
Kai’s words were a clear provocation.
Mo Qingyun quickly tried to stop him.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, don’t be reckless! You’re only at the first level of the scattered fairy realm, and Huo Zhao appears to have reached the fifth level.”
“Challenging him is like an egg trying to break a rock!”
