196 To the Inner Core Region! (2/2)
Juniu and the other nodded and immediately gave Uriu some of their Spirit Stones. If what Uriu said is true, the best option would be to stay together for the time being to increase their chances of survival.
Uriu immediately bowed and thanked them for the support. He was a little afraid that they would refuse and immediately flee from this place. Maybe even worse, they might have chosen to attack him instead!
With enough spirit energy this time, Uriu was finally able to get rid of the death energy in his body after a few hours. With his life core and the ability to use Light Element, it only took a short time for him to heal himself. The only thing that was preventing it from happening was Death Energy. Otherwise, those injuries wouldn't have bothered him until now.
The Life Core healing power was really awe-inspiring! Even Uriu's lost arm had grown back after some time. That is not something that an ordinary Core Formation Realm cultivator or demon beast should be able to do.
Uriu then looked at this group and asked.
”Who is the leader at the moment?”
Juniu immediately said.
”It is me for the time we are inside the Dimensional Realm.”
Uriu nodded and then said.
”Alright. I will follow your orders from now on then.”
Juniu's group was taken aback! For a second, they thought that Uriu would ask to let him lead them since he is the strongest here due to his Major Core. But he decided to not do so, much for their surprise.
Juniu looked deeply at Uriu, who was waiting for his words and then sighed.
”No need, you will be the leader from now on.”
One of Juniu's companions immediately intervened.
”Juniu, we only have his words at the moment. What if he is trying to guide us into a trap?”
Juniu shook his head and said.
”I believe my instincts, and now they are telling me the Uriu isn't lying. Besides, if you are really doubtful, there is a straightforward method to check it, right?”
Only then did they remember that Uriu is still in the Core Formation Realm, which means that he can't go against a Blood Contract!
Uriu also nodded and asked for them to write one straight away. It was a very simple one. It only stated that Uriu was not lying about the things he said. Uriu signed it, and the seal entered his soul, just to disappear right after. Since Uriu wasn't lying, the blood contract lost its effect as soon as the conditions were met. Seeing that made Juniu's companion sigh in relief, but at the same time, they understood the danger that they are in.
Juniu then looked at Uriu and asked.
”Should we go back to the entrance?”
Uriu immediately shook his head.
”That is unnecessary. You said it yourself, after the number of days since my group received the attack, we didn't find any other assassin. But that also means that we didn't find any reinforcements. Because of that, I believe that this dimension has lost the connection with the outside.”
Juniu was taken aback and immediately thought about a possibility.
”Space Lock Formation!”
Uriu nodded.
”Exactly! It also means that it was used from somewhere really far away. If the Space Lock Formation was used from somewhere inside the Divine Path Sect territory, I find it hard to believe that your Sect wouldn't notice it, much less not stop it in time.”
Juniu and the others nodded.
Uriu then looked at the central region direction and said.
”Let's meet everyone in the Inner Core region. Only with the advantage in numbers, it might be possible to defend ourselves. After all, we have no idea when the connection to the outside will be mend. We can't count on luck to stay hidden forever.”
