Chapter 5069

“Mr. Chen, it’s not me who’s looking for you—it’s Qingyun,” Lan Lianhua said, glancing at Mo Qingyun.

Mo Qingyun looked at Kai with eyes full of reluctance and a trace of pain in his expression. “Kai, I have to go back. My family has started urging me.”

“Once Tianci returns, Tianyuan Pavilion will pressure the Mo family. I must go back now, or my parents will suffer,” she added.

Hearing this, Kai frowned slightly before saying, “I’ll go back with you. I want to see what makes Tianyuan Pavilion so impressive.”

“No, Tianyuan Pavilion is very powerful. Don’t worry about me—I’m already grateful to have met you,” Mo Qingyun replied, shaking her head.

“I said I’ll go with you, so I will. Leave the rest to me—you don’t need to worry,” Kai responded firmly and with authority.

Mo Qingyun was clearly touched by Kai’s assertive stance.

“I’ll make the arrangements and then we’ll leave,” Kai said as he turned and walked away.

Lan Lianhua looked at Mo Qingyun with envy. “Qingyun, Mr. Chen treats you so well. It’s a blessing to meet a man as confident and decisive as him—like a CEO.”

“Don’t worry about how many women he has. As long as he’s also yours, that’s enough. It’s hard to find a good man these days…”

Lan Lianhua’s envy made Mo Qingyun feel happy, and she nodded in agreement.

After leaving the hall, Kai went to find Huo Zhao, who had just come out of the Demon Suppression Tower and had recovered.

“Xiansheng, with such a treasure in your possession, your future is limitless,” Huo Zhao said in admiration upon seeing him.

While others had trained for a year, Kai had cultivated for a hundred.

“Father-in-law, now that you’ve recovered, what do you plan to do next?” Kai asked.

“I’ll follow your lead. You’re the master of the Eight Palaces now,” Huo Zhao replied.

“I’m planning to head to the Second Heaven,” Kai said.

“Then let’s go. The Eight Palaces’ main mansion is located there anyway. Now that I’ve recovered, it’s time I returned,” Huo Zhao agreed with a nod.

Soon after, Kai, Hu Mazi, Mo Qingyun, and the members of the Eight Palaces left Cangxuan Continent and set off for the Second Heaven.

Before departing, Kai handed a portrait to Lan Lianhua and asked her to search for it in the First Heaven.
The portrait was of Su Yuqi. Ever since arriving here, Kai had no idea where Su Yuqi had been taken.

Now, he could only rely on Blue Lotus’s power to locate her.

While Kai and his companions headed toward the Second Heaven, a major uproar erupted within the temple!

Inside the Palace of the God King, within a towering golden hall—

“Bang!”

An elderly man in a golden robe slammed the table in fury and shouted, “The patrol envoy was killed, the Eighth Palace has rebelled, and that old fool Huo Zhao dared to surrender to a foreign race!”

“Third Palace Master, please calm down,” a middle-aged man stepped forward and said solemnly. “This situation may not be so simple.”

“That Kai can control ancient war puppets. His strength might have reached the peak of the scattered immortal realm—or even beyond.”

The old man in the golden robe snorted coldly. “A mere scattered immortal dares to challenge the authority of the temple?”

“Pass down my order—tell the Seventh Palace Master to raze Cangxuan Continent to the ground, kill Kai, and wipe out the entire Eighth Palace!”

“No!”

Suddenly, a cold female voice rang out.

Everyone turned to see a stunning woman in a white dress slowly walking into the hall.

Her expression was icy, her gaze as cold as snow, and a frosty aura radiated from her.

“Fourth Palace Master, what do you mean by this?” the old man in the golden robe asked with a frown.

The Fourth Palace Master replied calmly, “Third Palace Master, the temple is already troubled from within and without—now is not the time for war.”

“Besides, if Kai can control ancient war puppets, there must be more to the story.”

“If we act rashly, we may trigger unforeseen consequences.”

The old man sneered. “Fourth Palace Master, don’t tell me you’re trying to protect that foreign brat.”

“Or have you also fallen to temptation and wish to consort with a man from the outside world?”
