Chapter 48: Slaying Cai Kun, Yun Yun attacks!
Xiao Zhan lifted his teacup and took a gentle sip.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and a jade talisman appeared in his hand. It was the Father-Relying Teleportation Talisman.
"That brat finally ran into danger."
Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!
The Father-Relying Teleportation Talisman in Xiao Zhan's hand vibrated incessantly.
This unusual reaction could only mean that Xiao Yan had encountered danger and was asking Xiao Zhan for help.
Knowing Xiao Yan was in danger, Xiao Zhan wasted no time.
As he poured a wisp of dou qi into the jade talisman, brilliant light radiated from it.
The next moment, the jade talisman flew from Xiao Zhan's hand and vanished into the void, unleashing a powerful surge of spatial power.
Soon, a spatial gateway resembling a doorway appeared before Xiao Zhan.
Under Ya Fei's astonished gaze, Xiao Zhan stepped into the Void Gate and slowly disappeared.
After Xiao Zhan entered the Void Gate, the gateway gradually vanished as well, as though nothing had happened.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Ya Fei stared blankly at the spot where the Void Gate had disappeared, unable to recover her senses for a long time.
Though her cultivation was low, years of running auctions had given her broad experience and knowledge.
Could someone at the Dou Wang level perform such a feat?
Could the Xiao Clan Chief already have reached the dou huang realm?
But she had never heard of anyone in the dou huang realm possessing such miraculous abilities, either!
Black Rock City.
Beat the young one, and the old one came running!
What Xiao Yan had feared finally happened.
Not long after Cai Xu died, a middle-aged man hurried over with an utterly grim expression.
He was none other than Cai Kun, head of the Black Rock City Cai Family and a Nine-Star Great Dou Master!
Seeing Cai Xu's corpse on the ground, Cai Kun was overcome with grief, then fixed Xiao Yan with a venomous stare.
"You belong to the Xiao Clan of Wutan City! Who gave you the nerve to come to my Black Rock City and kill someone?"
Cai Kun stared coldly at Xiao Yan and demanded an answer.
Seeing Cai Kun's accusatory stance, Xiao Yan scoffed. He tilted his head and sneered, "It was nothing more than a meaningless challenge, yet he broke the rules by taking a pill. Everyone saw how he attacked me just now, didn't they? If I hadn't fought back, I would be the one lying there now. So he deserved to die!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Cai Kun's expression grew even darker. "I don't care what excuses you make. All I know is that you killed my son, and you must pay with your life!"
As his words fell, a tremendous aura erupted from Cai Kun and pressed down on Xiao Yan.
"You..."
Xiao Yan frowned. Against Cai Kun, a Nine-Star Great Dou Master, he had no power to resist.
Teacher, it's your turn to act...
Xiao Yan called to Yao Lao in his mind.
"My disciple, the Immortal Emperor instructed me that if you encountered danger while training outside, I must not intervene."
Yao Chen's answer, however, sent a chill through Xiao Yan's heart.
The reason he had not left immediately after killing Cai Xu was that he had Yao Lao beside him and felt assured of his protection.
Now that Yao Lao said he could not act, Xiao Yan panicked.
Just then, Xiao Yan remembered what his father had told him before he left: no matter where he was, if he encountered danger, he only needed to call out, and his father would instantly come to save him.
At that thought, Xiao Yan immediately reacted. He threw back his head and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Father, save me!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's shout, Cai Kun, who had been about to attack, was startled and scanned his surroundings warily.
But after waiting several breaths without anyone appearing, he froze briefly, then looked at Xiao Yan with a cold glint in his eyes. "Hmph! You're at death's door. Calling for your father won't help now."
"Just obediently pay for my son's life!"
Thinking of how his precious son had been beaten to death, Cai Kun seethed with hatred. He immediately prepared to unleash his full strength and kill Xiao Yan with a single palm strike.
"Who dares touch my son?"
Just then, a thunderous voice rang out from the void.
Everyone looked toward it and saw that a Void Gate had appeared in midair at some unknown moment.
As the voice rang out, a tall, straight-backed figure slowly emerged from the Void Gate.
At the same time, a powerful aura instantly enveloped all of Black Rock City.
Everyone stared at the gateway in midair in horror, their eyes filled with terror as they watched the powerful figure emerge.
Was this a god?
Some of those with weaker cultivation could no longer withstand the powerful aura. They dropped to their knees and prostrated themselves before the figure in the sky.
"Father!"
The moment Xiao Yan heard that voice, his whole body trembled with excitement. Now, seeing the figure appear in midair, his excitement reached its peak.
It was Father!
Father really came to save me!
In midair, Xiao Zhan swept his gaze over the scene before fixing it on Cai Kun below. His powerful aura pressed down as he asked coldly, "Were you the one who wanted to kill my son?"
By then, Cai Kun had already been scared witless from the moment Xiao Zhan appeared.
His eyes widened and his mouth fell open as though he had been struck by lightning. He stared at Xiao Zhan in midair, his eyes brimming with horror.
"My lord... a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding... Please spare this lowly one's life!"
Only upon hearing Xiao Zhan's words did Cai Kun snap out of his daze. Terrified, he hurriedly fell to his knees and pleaded for mercy.
Sensing Cai Kun's strength as a nine-star Dou Shi, Xiao Zhan felt somewhat disappointed. Little Yanzi was still too weak; provoking a Da Dou Shi was already his limit. It seemed he would have to speed up his plans.
Then, watching Cai Kun continue to beg for mercy, Xiao Zhan frowned slightly.
"Too noisy!"
The next moment, a gigantic palm blasted down from above and, under Cai Kun's horrified gaze, slammed into him.
Boom!
The gigantic palm struck the ground, unleashing a tremendous tide of energy. The previously intact street was blasted to pieces, and Cai Kun's body was mercilessly smashed underground, leaving not even his bones behind!
At the sight, everyone nearby sucked in a breath of cold air, their faces filled with terror.
Xiao Yan, meanwhile, gazed at Xiao Zhan in midair with open admiration.
Father was as powerful as ever!
Yao Chen was likewise filled with shock as he stared at the Void Gate beside Xiao Zhan.
What kind of ability was this?
Had the Immortal Emperor come here from Wutan City?
Forming a passage through the void out of thin air?
As expected of the Immortal Emperor!
"Yan'er, you must keep working hard!"
After dealing with Cai Kun, Xiao Zhan left Xiao Yan with those words, then turned and entered the Void Gate.
As the Void Gate closed, Xiao Zhan was already back at the Xiao Clan the next moment.
"Xiao Zhan, get out here and face this sect master!"
The instant Xiao Zhan returned, a powerful aura appeared above Xiao City, and a woman's voice reached his ears.
