398 Hobbek and Rannia (1/2)

Krune looked at those fragments and then said.

”Let's bring them back to the Wisp Main World for now. It would be a terrible idea to absorb them at this time. After all, our cultivations would increase because of that, which means that Feifei would definitely go into the Soul Forging Realm. Maybe even myself since I'm in the 7th Stage.”

Krune and Feifei took the and then left the City. As for Hobbek and Rannia's group, they couldn't care less anymore.

None of Hobbek and Rannia's companions tried to stop them either. First, their numbers were similar, and second, they would be going against the laws if they attacked first. For the Void breaking Realm guys, it was enough that Krune didn't kill those two. With that, they can get their payment back... or so they wished. But now, that might be impossible as well.

There was also another problem. Only a Heavenly Fragment Owner can absorb the fragment of another. A cultivator or demon beast without a fragment would never be able to make it their own. So it would be useless even if they had recovered the fragments by luck.

While they were healing their injuries, Hobbek and Rannia also thought about another problem. The fact that they don't have the fragments anymore. It could be said that they are basically useless to the Extreme Yin Yang Palace as of the moment. Because of that, they doubt that the Palace will pay those three Void Breaking Realm cultivators for their sake.

Hobbek had already paid the Soul Forging Realm guys since their case was only Spirit Stones.

”You guys can go back to your own places already. We won't be able to do anything for you all anymore.”

The guys in the Soul Forging Realm were already expecting this. So they bid their farewell and left straight away. They felt some greed about Hobbek and Ranni Spatial Rings, but as long as they are inside of a City, especially a big one like this, they won't be able to touch them.

Hobbek then looked at the Void Breaking Realm cultivators that stayed and sighed.

”Well, it is obvious that you are here because of what we promised you. But the way we are now, there is simply no way that the Palace will pay you. After all, it would be a simple waste of resources. So what do you plan to do? If it is Spirit Stones or our weapons, I can at least do this much for you. Staying with us would be a waste of time for both you and us.”

They also couldn't attack Hobbek and Rannia here, and Hobbek also confirmed what they feared.

”Sigh... whatever. Just give us those Purple Flame Weapons. Although you can't use it against Krune, they obviously can be used against others. Besides, they are worth a fortune. I know that you used almost all your Spirit Stones just to buy those two things.”

Those three just looked at each other and nodded. The fact is that they don't want to risk using these weapons, so they will just sell it back and share the payment. It is not like they need to ask for Spirit Stones alone. Due to the Purple Flame Weapons' rarity, they probably can get something better. They had been a group of three friends who stayed together for a long time. Because of this, none were afraid of the other stealing the others.

Without even bidding farewell, the three Void breaking Realm guys quickly left. Leaving only Hobbek and Rannia behind recovering from their injuries.

Rannia looked at Hobbek and asked.

”Say, what do you think we should do now?”

Hobbek shrugged his shoulders.

”What else can we do? We are already here in Dalin anyway, so we can just cultivate once more. Fortunately, our Laws were not affected, we just can't use them due to our cultivation level.”

Hobbek thought about everything that he and Rannia had gone so far. All their battles, decisions, and everything else that had been for the sake of the Heavenly Fragments. But now that they lost the Divine Souls that held them, they wouldn't be able to become Heavenly Fragment owners anymore. So he felt like their purpose had disappeared.

As for hatred? Well, if those two said that losing their cultivation and Heavenly Fragment didn't affect them, it would be a lie. Still, they didn't exactly feel hatred for Krune and Feifei. The reason was quite simple, though. From the very start, they knew that they might be the ones losing everything. The fact that Krune didn't kill them is already an excellent outcome.

Rannia then advised.

”Shouldn't we go back to the Extreme Yin Yang Palace to report everything that happened?”

Hobbek looked at the sky above. Countless thoughts were going through his mind. Both he and Rannia understood that Krune's initial plan was for them to see the destruction of the Heavenly Fragments. After going back to report it, the battle for the Heavenly Fragments would obviously become pointless. But after he opened the arena protection formation, no one from both sides could touch the other anymore. Krune also couldn't hide them either, so the battle will continue for those who still had them. It's just that Hobbek and Rannia are now out of it.

”Say... We know very well how the Extreme Yin Yang Palace works. Once we return and report everything that happened, the Palace will simply not bother about our existence from there onwards. At most, we will just become ordinary disciples or maybe not even that. So what about we simply stay here instead and forget about all of this?”

Hobbek then looked back at Rannia.
