Chapter 578: Asking Iem For Protection (2/2)
”Wh-What is it? Where is the enemy?”
Luvile let out a sigh of relief before explaining.
”There is no enemy... Let's just... leave the city.”
Krune, obviously, was as puzzled as he could be.
”Why...?”
”Chances are that the city will be wiped out of the map if you make a breakthrough here. I just don't know how you will do it.”
Krune's mouth twitched.
”Fuck you! Why would I do something like wiping the city out of the map? Are you messing with me?”
”Messing with you?”
Luvile then laughed out loud.
”Hahaha! Tell me, how many of your breakthroughs had been 'normal?'”
Krune's heart skipped a bit as Luvile continued to speak.
”Are you telling me that you REALLYYYY believe that nothing will happen? Alright then, go ahead.”
Krune rolled his eyes to the side. Luvile's argument was simply undeniable!
”Cough, cough... I think we should go out of the city, just to be safe.”
Luvile chuckled and didn't say anything else.
Krune then called Iem over. It was better to have someone to protect him too. However, when Krune saw Iem again, he found that the later had entered the Divine View Realm!
”Congratulations on your breakthrough. Brother Iem's cultivation is really fast.”
Iem's mouth twitched, and he felt like Krune was pulling his leg.
”You were only in the 7th Stage when we arrive. Now you are about to enter the same realm. Are you trying to humiliate me?”
Krune immediately shook his head.
”Of course not. It's just that I was lucky.”
”Then give me some of that luck, I'm going to make good use of it.”
Knowing that dwelling about this would only make him more depressed, Iem decided to change the topic.
”Anyway, why do you need my protection during the breakthrough? There are no Heavenly Tribulations before the Mortal Rejection Realm. Is someone trying to assassinate you?”
Krune nodded.
”You could say that... I guess.”
”Really? Who is it?”
Krune pointed to the sky above before saying.
”Probably Heavens...”
Iem looked at Krune with a weird expression.
”Is your head okay?”
”Cough, cough... Anyway, I just need you to protect me during my breakthrough. If nothing happens, then it will be even better.”
Iem narrowed his eyes for a moment but nodded his head in the end. It's not like Krune asked anything absurd anyway. Besides, he had indeed gone to his restaurant to eat Spiritual Food without having to care about queues. This can be considered as a repayment for the exclusive service.
”Just so that you know, there is a place where people and beasts at the peak of the Transformation Realm go. It is also used by others at lower cultivation levels to test their abilities. As long as you pay the price, you can rent a space for yourself, and no one will touch you during that time.”
Krune's eyes lit up. That's what he needs at the moment exactly.
”Great! Let's go there then.”
Iem nodded, and the two departed straight away. At the center of the city, the Formations Guild had a building constructed for the use of Teleportation Formations alone. After taking one of those teleportations, Krune and Iem appeared inside another building a few thousand kilometers away from Immai City.
The cultivators and demon beasts working there looked at them for a moment and continued doing whatever they were before.
After going to the counter, Krune talked with one of the employees and rented a place for him and Iem. Inside the same building, there were several other small Teleport Formations. Krune checked the number of the area he rented and used the equivalent formation.
”Alright. I doubt anyone will try anything in this place. You can start now.”
Krune nodded, and he returned to his Wisp Form. The place was concealed from the outside with formations, so he didn't need to keep it secret.
Finally, Krune brought out over a thousand Godly Stones and began his breakthrough.
