Chapter 111 - Rainbow Sect Found (2/2)
Two weeks later, they were finally back to Makui Planet. Krune's group immediately left back to Yule Continent. Tasier, Arlan, and Lofa had to go back to their Sect or Family to report about the Martial Gathering. So they would come over to the Yule Continent a month later.
After arriving at the Yule Continent, Guild Head Bary wanted to throw a banquet to commemorate Krune and Ao's results, but they refused it. Krune wanted to go back to the Rainbow Sect to check on Lakin before coming back to concoct the Soul Healing Pill.
Of course, bringing something as rare as the Dragon Essence with him would only incur disaster. So he left the six drops with Bary before moving out.
There is no way that the Mercenary Guild would take it for themselves. After they saw Krune and Ao's results in the Martial Gathering, it was evident that their chance of entering the Divine Path Sect is exceptionally high. Even a full bottle of Dragon Essence Liquid wouldn't be worth it for them to betray Krune.
Krune's group arrived at Harta City without any commotion. Guild Head Bary made sure that no one would know that they left the Guild Headquarters. So, after changing their appearances a little, no one recognized them. As for the registration at the city gate before entering the danger zone? Bary had taken care of that as well! Krune couldn't help but think how convenient it is to have connections.
Krune's group moved without anyone noticing, and they only took two days to arrive at the place where the gate is. But as soon as they arrived, they saw a big problem. They found loads of cultivators and Demon Beast at the Core Formation Realm and above around the area. Not to mention that with the sheer number of late stages Core Formation Realm cultivators, there is bound to Divine Soul Cultivator here too.
”You four, this area is restricted at the moment. Whatever you are doing in this direction, go do that somewhere else.”
After hearing that call, Shinja played the role of the leader this time and asked what was happening.
”This has nothing to do with you. We are inside a Danger Zone, so remember that even if we get rid of you here, no one will complain. Get out and don't bother us.”
Krune's group could see several types of emblems attached to the cultivators and demon beasts in human form. It was evident that several powers had gathered here. That's why they didn't get attacked straight away since it would be harmful in the eyes of the other powers.
Shinja then apologized, and they left right after. By the looks of it, their team wasn't the first one to bump into this place. After they traveled far enough, They finally stopped to discuss the situation. To be safe, they used Divine Sense for that.
”We would have to be idiots to think that this has nothing to do with our Rainbow Sect. Could it be that they have already entered?”
Krune shook his head.
”They haven't. I have the power to open and close the gate at the moment. If it were open, I would have noticed. Although I have no idea how they found this place, I can guarantee that the gate is still closed.”
The others let out a sigh of relief, specially Shinja, who was extremely worried about Cassy. They then looked at Krune to see if he had any idea. He is the only Legacy Disciple, after all.
”Don't worry, I have discussed with Hasik before. So I know where the other entrances are at the moment. Let's move there and see how the situation is.”
After that, they immediately departed. Krune's group traveled for another day until they arrived close to a big lake.
”Is it inside the lake?”
Krune shook his head and pointed up.
”It's above it, around ten kilometers high to be more precise.”
Shinja and the others were surprised! How did no one find it?
”It's because it has always been closed, so no one knows that it was there. But we have another issue. Because we are deeper inside the Danger Zone, there are probably some Divine Soul Demon Beasts overseeing the area. So they might notice what we are doing.”
Ao then said.
”Then let's look for another place. It's better to prevent them from noticing.”
Krune shook his head.
”There are another two entrances, but they are even deeper inside the Danger Zone. The demon beasts here might be stronger, but not to the point we can't deal with them. Unfortunately, this is our limit, going further than here would be suicide.”
Krune then looked at Yusa. She noticed that and understood what he was thinking.
”The best Runestone concealing formation that I have at the moment can at most keep us hidden from the middle to late stages Core Formation Beasts. If the Divine Soul Realm Demon Beast overseeing this area decides to penetrate the formation, the Runestone won't be able to stop it.”
Krune nodded but then said.
”We will have to take our chance; groups using runestone formations to conceal themselves should be a common occurrence in this place. I refuse to believe that the Divine Soul guys would waste their time to penetrate every single formation they see. Their job is to keep too strong cultivators and demon beasts from wantonly attacking weaker ones. But we just so happen to be at the right cultivation realms here.”
Yusa and the others couldn't help but nod. That did make a lot of sense. Besides, it's not like they have another option.
After that, they immediately took flight while Yusa kept a concealing Runestone formation activated. It would be bad if aerial beasts saw them passing into their territory. Only after they got close to the place where the gate was would Yusa use her best Runestone formation to keep the site out of prying eyes.
