199 Biding Their Time (2/2)

But just as Yanos was also about to dash forward to attack, Lanis put a hand on his shoulder and said.

”Let's retreat. Those kids from the Rasie Clan are with them, and you know very well what happened to Angil after that.”

Lanis wasn't afraid of taking them all at once, but he was prioritizing the mission above everything else. So he decided to keep his distance while waiting for the others. Like that, they can join forces and get rid of all the trouble at once.

Yanos felt a little unwilling but still followed the orders.

Back at Krune's group, Light Spirit immediately told him what was happening. Krune then asked for everyone to stop.

”They are not coming. Instead, the assassins are keeping their distance while keeping their Divine Sense on us. It seems like they have no intention of starting a fight with us before their group is full.”

Everyone stopped and then looked at Krune. At the moment, he was the only one who could feel the enemies Divine Sense.

”What do we do then, they are both at the Divine Soul Realm. If they decide to keep their distance, we won't be able to catch up.”

Krune also didn't have many options at the moment. He then looked at Feifei to see if she could use her Destiny Core to find a way out.

Feifei also knew what Krune was thinking and had already started to do that. Still, it was quite hard to do when Divine Soul Realm cultivators were involved in the calculation.

Uriu Orion then said.

”In that case, let's keep moving along the barrier the same way we did before. There might have something somewhere that will allow us to enter. We might as well do like I did with that Death Core assassin and force them into a trap formation.”

Krune and everyone else nodded, and they resumed their travel in the opposite direction of the assassins.

Sure enough, both Lanis and Yanos followed them from a distance.

Time passed, and soon, two hours went by. During this time, Lanis and Yano gathered with the guy who pursued Feifei and Krune. His name was Yunir, and he too wanted to attack straight away. But Lanis didn't allow it and said to wait for Gelius, who was coming to meet them at the moment.

Krune also informed everyone about the appearance of another assassin and the fact they still stayed behind. Even though they didn't attack straight away, that didn't make anyone happy. That just reinforced their conjecture that the enemy still had more members.

Suddenly, Feifei's eyes lit up!

”Found it! The entrance to the inner core region.”

She had been using her Destiny Core to try to calculate its position for a long time, and her efforts were finally rewarded in the end.

Everyone heard that, and their eyes lit up too!

”No wonder we couldn't find it. That is because the entrance isn't on the barrier itself. In fact, this light barrier is entirely closed, and there are no gaps. The entrance is a teleport formation instead. it is around an hour away from here in that direction.”

Feifei then pointed to a direction on the opposite side of the light barrier, which took everyone aback. No wonder the Sect gave them around six months to complete this challenge. If they didn't have Feifei's Destiny Core, there was no way they could have found it anytime soon. They would probably spend a lot of time around the barrier, trying to finding something that didn't even exist!

They immediately moved in the direction that Feifei pointed.

Lanis, Yano, and Yunir noticed their change in direction and were puzzled.

”Did they give up trying to find an entrance?”

Lanis pondered a bit.

”I don't think it is the reason. Remember that Feifei has prediction abilities, so it was probably because of her that they changed direction.”

The other two nodded.

”Should we attack straight away, then?”

Lanis also thought that it would be the best option to prevent Feifei from pulling some tricks once more. But just as he was about to give his order, he received a message from Gelius, which made his eyes lit up!

”Gelius is almost here already. Let's wait for him and then get over with it.”

Hearing that their only Major Core member was close by made Yano and Yunir excited.

”Great! Now I want to see just how they are going to escape from us.”

Back at Krune's group side, Feifei was still using her Destiny Core to predict the situation ahead when suddenly, she noticed something.

”Everyone, be careful. It seems that it won't be easy to use that Teleport Formation.”

The closer they get to the teleport formation, the easier it is for Feifei to use her abilities, or so it was supposed to be. But surprisingly, she is having problems doing so. That means that the level of the dangers in that place is definitely above her cultivation level.

Krune immediately got excited after hearing that!

”That's great! This is exactly the type of situation that we need at the moment.”
