Chapter 635: True Spirit (2/2)

”Yea, yea, both sides are very impressed. Anyway, what should we do with you? As far as I remember, you tried to use your group to kill us in the chaotic space. That being said, what makes you think that we will let you leave? Besides, you saw my friend's true form, which shouldn't be known by anyone. After all, he is still in the Divine View Realm.”

Krune nodded. He isn't the type that likes to kill. Krune only destroyed so many Space Creatures because they were not really alive to start with. Otherwise, he probably would leave them alive after just destroying their cultivations or something similar. However, Illia's group was obviously coming for the kill, and his wisp form was seen. For good or for worse, he also agreed that leaving her alive would only spell disaster.

One must remember that Demon Beasts shouldn't gain intelligence before Semi-Divinity Realm. However, he is only in the Divine View Realm. He wasn't supposed to be sentient yet.

Nevertheless, Illia's next words surprised both Iem and Krune.

”What do you mean with 'after all, he is in the Divine View Realm?' Is there something wrong with a True Spirit being at this cultivation level? Besides, do you really think that I believe that you are in the Divine View Realm? There is no way that you can fight so many levels above your own.”

Krune and Iem were taken aback. Not because she doubted their cultivation level, but because of the name that appeared before.

”True Spirit?”

Neither Krune nor Iem had ever heard about this name before.

Illia noticed the puzzled faces of Iem and Krune, so she decided to ask Krune directly.

”Could it be that you don't know what a True Spirit is even though you are one of them? Although True Spirits are extremely rare, you should have heard about them once you entered the Sky Shifting Sect, no?”

Krune and Iem immediately shook their heads. Iem then stepped forward and created a story on the spot.

”We only joined the sect a few months ago. Before that, we had been traveling everywhere and had no background to speak off. The only thing we know is that Demon Beasts shouldn't be sentient before the Semi-Divinity Realm. That's why my friend had been hiding his true form until now. After all, he does have intelligence even though he isn't in the Semi-Divinity Realm.”

Illia still didn't believe that they were only in the Divine View Realm. However, she had to admit that information about True Spirits isn't exactly that easy to find. In fact, this was the first time she saw a 'member' of the True Spirit race in her life. That shows just how rare they are.

”I see... If you really had just joined the Sky Shifting Sect and had been afraid of showing his true form, then it makes sense. What about this? I'll tell you everything I know about the True Spirits as long as you let me go.”

Iem immediately shook his head.

”Let's pretend that you are telling the truth. From what I heard from you so far, it seems like True Spirits can gain intelligence way before the Semi-Divinity Realm. That being said, it doesn't seem like exposing his true form is something of concern. However...”

Iem sank his hand into the Silver Blood and pulled a silver-like object out of it.

”What about this Space God Crystal? Are you telling me that you won't inform anyone that we acquired it? You probably know how valuable this thing is, don't you?”

Illia was taken aback.

”I know that this item is rare, but I didn't know that it was called Space God Crystal.”

Iem narrowed his eyes.

”Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you know or not. The problem is that you know we got it.”

Krune agreed with Iem as he raised his hand.

Immediately, all the Myriad Lightning Shields began to approach Illia from all sides. Iem's body also erupted with Devil Flames, and he formed another two Devil Flame Blades on his arms.

Illia's mind worked as fast as never before. Finally, she gritted her teeth before saying.

”I know a way to return to the outside world. If you let me go, I can tell you about that.”

Sure enough, those words were enough to stop Iem and Krune's attacks on their tracks.
