Chapter 621: Retreat! (2/2)

Sisan glanced at Krune and then explained what happened in the chaotic space. Obviously, Jimage thought that Sisan was joking with him. How could a Divini View Realm take the Top Quality Godly Stones away that easily? However, when Krune brought out seven Godly Stones, Jimage could only believe him.

”How's that possible...”

Krune scratched the back of his head when suddenly, an idea popped in his head.

”Well, now you know why the Sect sent me with you even though I'm at the Divine View Realm.”

But that wasn't all. Jimage noticed that neither Krune nor Iem seemed to be injured. Sisan then explained that they also fought against members of the Flower River Sect, but they didn't fall at a disadvantage at all! In fact, they both held the upper hand in their fights! How much of a freak must those two be to do that?

In the end, Jimage could only sigh.

”Indeed... The sect wouldn't do something as idiotic as sending dead weight in this exploration. I apologize for my behavior before. I should have trusted the sect elders' decisions.”

Krune smiled bitterly after hearing that. He was obviously lying to Jimage. Even the Sect Master didn't believe that Krune and Iem would be of much help inside. It was only because of Tulike that they were even able to approach this place. Of course, neither Krune nor Iem would tell the truth.

Iem also understood what Krune was trying to do and laughed out loud.

”It's okay. We knew that telling you what we could do would be useless, so we just waited for an opportunity to show you first hand. Anyway, we should go. I doubt the Flower River Sect expected what happened, so they won't attack us straight away.”

Jimage and everyone else agreed with Iem. It was evident that the Flower River Sect had set up a trap for them. Still, they failed miserably to accomplish their objective. One doesn't need to be a genius to know that the enemy counted on Krune and Iem's weak cultivation and the Godly Stones' removal time. Too bad, though. It was all for nothing.

They didn't waste too much time talking and immediately left. At the same time, Iem looked behind to the chaotic space and smiled playfully. He then turned his gaze away and followed everyone.

Back on the Flower River Sect Group side, Illia had already gathered with Pharan and the other two Divinity Realm members.

However, as soon as they joined together, one member of Illia's group coughed out black blood and fell on the ground, unconscious.

”What?!”

Everyone was taken aback by that, even Illia herself.

Pharan quickly appeared on his side and sent his Godly Energy into his body. His Divine Sense also entered it and checked his companion's condition. After looking at him for a while, Pharan's expression turned dark.

”There is some kind of black energy running through his body, destroying everything. Give me some healing pills.”

Pharan forced the pills down the guy's throat and used his Godly Energy to disseminate the pill's effect in his body. Due to his much higher cultivation, he was able to neutralize the black energy with the pills' help, quickly driving it out. The guy then coughed several other mouthfuls of black blood after that.

Pharan kept driving his Godly Energy inside the guy's body for a while when finally, he woke up. However...

”The danger is gone, Ralpha. However, your cultivation base has been damaged. Quite a few of your meridians got in the same situation.”

Ralpha quickly checked his body, and his complexion changed straight away. His Peak Semi-Divinity Realm cultivation has dropped to the 2nd Stage. The damaged meridians were in such bad shape that it will be hard to get them fully healed in the future too. Other than that, his Dantian seemed to have been scourged in a few places, making Godly Energy escape without stopping. At the moment, he could prevent his cultivation from dropping. Still, Ralpha definitely wouldn't be able to fight anytime soon in that condition. If he did, he would need to use a lot of energy, which his body simply can't recover with the damaged meridians and foundation.

”Ralpha, wasn't you fighting that Divine View Realm guy? How did you end in this state?”

Ralpha remembered their fight and couldn't help but feel a trace of fear.

”That guy is a monster. His body seemed to be indestructible. He also had some kind of black flames all over his body. Remember, do not touch those black flames, or you will probably end up like me.”

Sure enough, Iem had left a small gift behind before the battle was over.
