537 Strong Suppor (2/2)
The elders looked at Norzulun.
”He entered Dalin Illegally, so he must be quickly captured. We need to verify how he did it! There wasn't supposed to be any way of entering Dalin without anyone noticing.”
”That's not all, he is also a wisp in the Divine Path Realm with a Heavenly Fragment. We should take this chance to kill him after the interrogation. Let's go directly for a Soul Search. Since he dared to leave the Wisp Main World and show his face, he can't blame us for what will happen. We also have reason on our side since he is an illegal immigrant.”
All the elders of the Dalin Management nodded. However, Norzulun narrowed his eyes.
”Would the Wisp Race let someone like him appear here? Krune is right in the middle of the tiger's den. In theory, nothing he did could be used to escape our grasp.”
It was then that Norzulun remembered something.
”No, there is one thing. Or better, there is one existence capable of doing all of that.”
Suddenly, a hand appeared on his shoulder.
Norzulun almost jumped in fright when he saw that. Not only him but all the elders of the Dalin Universe Management. No one had noticed this guy appearing. But how did he do it with so many Peak Divinity Realm cultivators and demon beasts around Norzulun?
”Hahaha! There is no need to be this frightened, Norzulun brat. I only came here to check on my little friend over there.”
Norzulun was present during the last gathering of the Universes' powerhouses. The same one they used to discuss the Myriad Wisps Technique. Having said that, he immediately recognized this man with rainbow-colored hair.
Norzulun smiled bitterly before bowing to him.
”It's an honor to have senior Wally, the Wisp Race God, here with us today.”
All the elders were taken aback. How could they not know who Wally is? This is a legendary existence that no one in the lower realms would ever dare to offend. Who would be idiot enough to buy a fight against an ascender? Wally's power wasn't something that anyone could contend against.
Wally nodded at Norzulun and then looked at the elder who suggested to use a Soul Search on Krune and then kill him.
”I heard quite a few interesting words. What was that? Errr... Right! Something about using a Soul Search in my little friend Krune down there and even killing him. Could it be I heard it wrong?”
That elder immediately began to sweat rivers. He can't even remember the last time he had felt fear. After all, he is a Peak Divinity Realm cultivator. Still, he is nothing more than an ant in front of Wally.
”Cough, cough... this lowly one was obviously just joking, that's all.”
Wally then smiled as he nodded his head.
”Oh, so it was just a joke, then that's okay.”
Wally then simply let it go, much for that elder's relief. For a second, he thought that he was dead.
However, Norzulun still had to play the Dalin Management's Supervisor role.
”Senior Wally. According to the agreement, you should not intervene in the affairs of the Lower Realms. I hope you didn't forget it.”
Wally quickly nodded.
”Of course, I haven't forgotten. I have no intention whatsoever in meddling in this Heavenly Competition. However, the agreement also says I can protect the wisps as I see fit as long as it doesn't get in the way of those affairs you mentioned. That being said, I won't do anything. Even if Krune fails or dies during this Heavenly Competition, I won't care.”
”However, there is no rule saying that a wisp can't participate in the Heavenly Competition. Not to mention that he is indeed participating on Luvile Universes' behalf. So I won't stand for some older brats trying to get in his way.”
Norzulun and the others didn't dare to deny wally's words. As much as it seemed ridiculous, there wasn't such a rule indeed. That meant that wisps were also allowed to participate.
”As for the thing about the illegal entrance into Dalin's universe, you don't need to worry about that. It was me who brought him inside, so you obviously didn't notice.”
Norzulun couldn't help but say.
”Isn't that the same as intervening?”
Wally looked puzzled at Norzulun.
”How come? I just brought a brat into the Dalin Universe, which is also my home and birthplace. Why should I report to you if I want to bring someone into my house or not? Does it make any sense? You should be grateful that I had never done it before.”
Norzulun could only sigh and accept. That was just an excuse, but at the same time, one that he couldn't refuse. Still, he was already happy enough. At least, he got Wally's word that he won't intervene in the result of the Heavenly Competition. That meant that Krune will have to rely on himself to take one of the five slots.
In the end, only the elders present, and Norzulun knew about Wally's presence. The rest had no idea about what was happening. Norzulun then made an announcement to the powers who knew about the wisps' situation. No rules are preventing a Wisp from participating in the Heavenly Competition. That was all, he didn't give any other explanation.
With the Dalin Universe management taking this instance, they could only let it go and turn their attention back to the competition itself. Anyway, it's not because a wisp appeared that their objective changed. All that matters is the Five Slots to manage the Dalin Universe. The rest can be discussed later.
