197 Flee! (1/2)

The leader of the Assasins was still looking for the targets when suddenly, he got a message. Different from Krune and the others who couldn't communicate, those guys had brought special spiritual equipment that allowed them to talk to each other.

”What is it, Angil? Did you find them?”

The equipment could only transmit voice, so the leader couldn't see the person or demon beast on the other side.

”I found three of those mentioned in the information, but I almost died when I attacked. The three of them were, in fact, Divine Soul Realm cultivators or had a Treasure that allowed them to battle at that level. In the end, I received some severe injuries and had to use the blood escaping technique. Lanis, be careful of the Rasie Clan kids. They are not simple.”

Lanis was the name of the leader of the assassins this time.

”Are you able to continue the mission?”

Angil immediately answered.

”No, the blood escaping technique plus the injuries had deeply affected my foundation. Let alone fight against another Divine Soul Realm, even some early-stage Core Formation demon beasts would have me running away at the moment.”

Lanis took a deep breath and answered.

”Anyway, it is good that you gave us the information. I will send your message to the others. Did you leave behind any clues?”

”Yes, I had to use a lot of my best skills, so they might be able to at least tell from where I came once they are outside.”

”Very well, I believe you know what to do.”

Angil's voice, on the other side, went silent for a moment and then replied.

”Yes, I know.”

Lanis and Angil finished their call. Whether the mission was a success or not, that would be the last time they talked with each other.

Lanis then sent the information to the other three and told them to not meddle with the Rasie Clan ones for the time being. They should spend their efforts on Feifei only if possible.

Krune and Feifei had been moving to the Inner Core region while fighting a few times on the way. With their own unique traits, they didn't have much difficulty in dealing with the beasts. So far, the most dangerous encounter was still with the swarm of three-horned beetles.

They even bumped on an Early Stage Divine Soul Realm demon beast. But with Feifei's improved Destiny Core, it wasn't too hard for them to escape. Not to mention that Krune's speed wasn't any lower than the enemy's.

Another week passed, and they got a few materials and herbs, just like the other disciples of the Divine Path Sect. Feifei then decided to leave them all with Krune. For her, those things didn't have much value, different from Krune, who still had to follow the Sect Rules.

When both of them were finally approaching the Inner Core Region, Light Spirit called Krune out.

Krune immediately stopped as well and warned Feifei.

Feifei was impressed that Krune was able to feel a Divine Sense that even she with her cultivation couldn't. Still, she believed Krune, so she was also put on guard.

They had finally encountered one of the assassins that were pursuing Feifei. When the assassin noticed her, he informed the other three, including the leader.

”Found Feifei, come to this location.”

The assassin was planning to use a snake attack, but he didn't expect that Krune and Feifei would stop the moment his Divine Sense passed through them. With his cultivation, they shouldn't have been able to feel it, after all. Because of that, he decided to call for his companions first and keep Feifei under his watch.

Krune was waiting for Light Spirit's answer about the enemy.

”Weird, he stopped and isn't moving at all, could it be that he isn't here for you two? Try to move a few kilometers ahead first.”

Krune immediately did as Light Spirit said, and they kept moving ahead for a little longer. As expected, the enemy also followed them but kept his distance.

”He is still there, but he isn't approaching. I can't tell which stage of the Divine Soul Realm he is, but from the speed that he was moving at first when he saw you two, I would say he is at least in the middle stages. Someone like him shouldn't be afraid of you two, which means...”

Krune and Light Spirit immediately understood what that meant.

”Not good, he is probably waiting for reinforcements.”
