323 Mohie Danif (1/2)
Fiarit noticed Krune's smile and felt like he was going to explode. Still, he didn't dare to take up the challenge. Although he, too, could defeat Erventik easily, it definitely wouldn't be to the level that Krune, or better, Darten did.
That wasn't all. Everyone outside could tell with just a glance. That was far, far from being Darten's real power! Although they were confident that they could take him head-on, they weren't sure if they could win or not. Even if they did, that would come at a very high price, not to mention that they might be the ones losing in the end.
But that wasn't what frightened them. What really left everyone shocked was the fact that Krune is still in the 4th stage of the Divine Soul Realm, while the majority watching were at least in the 7th. They are already not sure if they can win while Darten has such a much lower cultivation realm, so what about when he reaches their same level?
If that wasn't a big enough display of strength, then nothing else would be!
Fiarit swallowed his anger and then smiled at Darten.
”Hahaha! There is no need. This was just a test, after all. Now that you proved that you are strong, I have no need to test you myself.”
Although those words could be considered humiliating, no one thought that Fiarit did wrong.
Krune then nodded.
”Oh, is that so? That's good then. I guess no one else has any issues with me holding the Jade Slip, am I right?”
No one said anything, which Krune decided to take as a silent agreement.
Everyone returned to the Mission Hall, and Krune immediately called Ricarte back.
”Hello. It's me, Darten. I'm ready to go anytime, are you guys all there as well?”
Ricarte immediately smiled on the other side of the call.
”Oh, so that's how you look like. Last time we just exchanged messages, so it is the first time seeing your face. Of course, I know that there is a high chance that it isn't your real one, though.”
”Anyway, we are ready anytime you are. I advise you to come with a big enough group as well. Otherwise, you can't blame me if the others decide to find trouble with you because of your Jade Slip.”
Krune agreed with him.
”Don't worry, it shouldn't be a problem on my side. Where should I find you and the others?”
”You can come to the Mission Hall in Kulue City. It is on the same planet I mentioned you before, Yatil of the Lokin Solar System.”
Krune nodded and then finished the call.
”Well then, shall we go?”
Everyone already accepted that challenge outcome, so no one complained with Krune, or better, Darten, calling out the tips. Of course, no one here considered him a leader or anything. It was just that he had the Jade Slip, and without it, there would be no point for the others to move there anyway.
No one had anything else to do, so they moved directly to the Mission Hall right after. There, Ricarte was already waiting.
”Hey, Darten! I see that you've come.”
Ricarte then looked at Krune's group behind him and nodded.
”Good! That's exactly what I meant when I said you should bring your own group. They can also be considered your own force, so the others won't find trouble with you for the time being.”
Krune could finally see what cultivation Ricarte has. He was a cultivator at the 2nd stage of the Soul Forging Realm.
Ricarte then guided everyone to the room where the others were waiting. Just as expected, they could see the groups well separated. Still, there weren't another 13 groups, but 9 only.
”Is someone absent?”
Ricarte shook his head.
”No, this is the total at the moment.”
Krune then nodded.
”I see, some of them have more than just one Jade Slip from Mohie Zarks, right?”
Ricarte immediately nodded.
”Yes. I just so happen to be one of them. At the moment, I have 2 jade Slips, one I found myself, while the other I bought from another cultivator.”
Krune nodded, and they finished their conversation there.
Ricarte then brought Krune forward and introduced him to everyone else.
”This one here is Darten, he is the last one to join our group and has one Jade Slip from Mohgie Zarks. As you all know, I already spread the information that we gathered 14 Jade Slips. So if everything goes according to the plan, we should be seeing at least two or three others appearing soon.”
