Chapter 114 - Going Back to Rainbow Sect. (2/2)

Bary just shook his hands.

”Enough of that crap. You can go now. Make sure that you aren't discovered, or it will be a headache to save your asses.”

Krune and Mile nodded and immediately left.

On their way back, Krune found out that Mile is at the 8th Stage of the Core Formation Stage and that she is a Nine-Tailed Fox. She was only able to take her Human form in the 4th stage too. She also used her spiritual energy to grab Krune and bring him with her. Even with his Tribulation Lightning movement, he wouldn't be faster than her anyway.

”Something is weird.”

Krune turned at Mile, puzzled.

”There is a lot of demon beasts and cultivators around. It seems like they are looking for something.”

Krune then showed an embarrassed expression. He knows very well what it is that they are looking for.

”What?! Did you use your wisp form to fly back to Harta City? How did the Nascent Soul Demon Beasts even let you go like that?”

Krune then explained.

”I can use my tribulation lightning to create a protective layer that expels Divine Senses. So those Divine Soul Realm cultivators couldn't see me on my way to Harta City. The only ones who saw me where those who could look direct with naked eyes. By the time that their subordinates told them about this, I had long since left their territory.”

Mile nodded, it did make sense.

”Then, how were you planning to go back if I wasn't with you?”

Krune showed a helpless expression and just said.

”Well, the same plan again. I would just outrun the demon beasts and hope not to pass close to a Divine Soul Realm one.”

Mile sighed. It made sense that the first travel went without a problem. No Divine Soul Realm cultivator or demon beast knew that he was going to pass by. But the things are different now, she is sure that those high realm beasts are all looking around for him now.

”You are fortunate that guild head Bary stopped you.”

Krune nodded, and suddenly, he noticed something.

”Wait! Guild Head Bary shouldn't have any idea that we are friends. As far as he knows, you just helped with Shinja's breakthrough. He doesn't know about our relationship. So how did Bary know that sending you would put me at easy?”

Mile heard than and then showed her tongue playfully.

”In fact, he knows about you.”

Krune was alarmed. He knows?!

”Haha! I told him the day that the results of your Martial Gathering came out. You should have seen his face when he found out that you are a wisp. No money in this world can pay for that.”

Krune was feeling like crying. What if he decided to capture him? Mile understood what Krune was thinking and then explained.

”You are underestimating your value way too much, you know? If it was in the past when you were nobody, then he might have tried to capture you to use as cultivation resource. But now, he would basically sign the Mercenary Guild death sentence if he did that.”

Krune pondered a bit and asked.

”Is it because of the resources that the Yule Continent will get if I enter the Divine Path Sect?”

Mile shooked her head.

”It's only half right. But the main reason is that Bary can't touch you even if he wanted. You are a participant of the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam, and they don't stop any race from participating. The various elders went to all planets to conduct the once in ten years competitions, and Elder Loni had already chosen Makui Planet's ones.”

Krune didn't have a high IQ for nothing. With only those words, he already understood.

”It's a question of Sect dignity. If a participant of the Entrance Exam is killed after one of their elders had chosen him, it would be the same as stepping on the Sect's authority. If even our Makui Planet has seers capable of Divination, let alone the Divine Path Sect. It would be way too easy for them to find who was involved in the participant's death.”

Mile nodded.

”This is also the reason why he isn't afraid of someone killing you. All you need to say is that you have been chosen to participate in the Divine Path Sect Entrance Exam. With your power, only Core Formation or higher Realm cultivators and demon beasts would be able to harm you. And no one at that level wouldn't know about the Divine Path Sect. So they definitely wouldn't touch you.”

Mile then showed a serious face and said.

”But that is only considering that you don't show your real form. A wisp of your level is probably the only hope of breakthrough for a lot of Divine Soul Realm geezers. Even if they have to defy the Divine Path Sect, I reckon that a lot of them would still risk it. Especially those who are close to the end of their life spans.”

Krune nodded, it made a lot of sense. Mile then smiled and commented.

”To be honest, I don't think that Bary would capture you even if you were still a nobody. He isn't that type of person.”

Krune was surprised to hear such praise.

”You seem to know Guild Head Bary very well. Why is that?”

Mile heard that question and then laughed.

”Well, this is not a secret to anyone. Since we are still several hours away, I guess I can tell you a little about it.”
