Chapter 756: Lanis Hands (1/2)

Lucio noticed Krune's expression after his request, so he sent him a Divine Sense Message.

'What's wrong? Do you think you would lose?'

Krune shook his head.

'That's not it.'

After that, Krune went through the entire situation for Lucio to hear.

'To think such a thing happened... However, you're right about one thing. They didn't challenge you because they knew that Liriu and Heavin entered the Soren Ruins. It was most likely just a coincidence. Still, the fight itself isn't a coincidence. You know that, right?'

Krune nodded.

'Yes. This trade route dispute started so that they can test my strength. After all, I did show off a little when I defended Joty against the Tribulation. They also selected this trade route since it would affect the Divine Path Sect. It was to make sure I wouldn't refuse.'

Lucio agreed with Krune.

'Exactly. I also know your real combat power, so I know it wouldn't be a problem for you. That's why I came here to ask you to accept. But now, perhaps it will be better for you to refuse and go help Liriu and Heavin. The Sacred Lands will have to send someone else as their representative.'

Krune couldn't help but ask.

'But would it be okay? That's quite an important route, right? What if they lose?'

Lucio shrugged his shoulders as he replied.

'It's important, but it's not like it will last forever. Our Divine Path Sect has existed for much longer than one Chaos Cycle. Back then, such a trade route didn't exist, but we were still strong. I refuse to believe that our sect would collapse just because we lost it. Besides, this trade route affects everyone in the big four, so the other powers would definitely join together with us to overcome this problem.'

Krune couldn't help but sigh. His Master and the Divine Path Sect had done a lot for him in the past. Unfortunately, he can't wait here for that thing.

The Sacred Lands' representatives also kept asking him to participate in this fight. After all, Krune was still the main representative in this matter.

'Krune, leave it to me. You and Feifei can go.'

Suddenly, another Spatial Gate appeared as an old man stepped out.

'Master!'

'Grandmaster!'

Turns out, it was Lani.

'Grandmaster, are you sure? You're pretty close to your Ascension Tribulation. Would it really be okay?'

'Krune is right, Master. You should focus on preparing for the Tribulation.'

Lani shook his head in response.

'Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Although I don't have a Heavenly Fragment, I do have a major Divine Soul, just like you and Lucio. Other than that, my Elements Regulation Technique reached culmination a long time ago, and I'm even better than Lucio at that. I also have the Myriad Energies Techquine and the Chaos Meridians. Last but not least, this is the perfect opportunity to test the Purple Flame Staff Krune made for me.'

Lani's expression then turned serious as he spoke.

'This is your Grandmaster and Master's orders. Go do whatever you have to do. Lucio will also go with you. As for the fight, you don't need to care about whether we win or not.'

Krune and Lucio were taken aback by Lani's attitude. At least for Krune, it was the first time he saw his Grandmaster acting that domineering, not leaving any room for discussion.

Suddenly, Luvile's voice entered Krune's mind.

'Don't underestimate him. Now that he has all these perks on his side, his real power is not something anyone can defend against.'

Krune was surprised by Luvile's comment. Still, since Luvile also vouched for his Grandmaster, then he would believe it.

Krune and Lucio then bowed to Lani.

'Yes, Master!'

'Yes, Grandmaster!'

Krune then looked at Feifei, who had been waiting on the side. She knew that it was a hard decision for Krune, so she didn't want to intervene.

”Feifei, let's go!”

Feifei was taken aback, so she immediately asked with a Divine Sense Message.

'Is everything okay?'

Krune nodded.

'Don't worry, my Grandmaster will take care of everything. Oh, and one more thing. My Master will be coming with us.'

Feifei was surprised to hear that but smiled in the end. Looking at how confident Lucio and Krune's expressions were, she thought they had a reason to believe Lani.

'Alright, let's go to the Soren Ruins.'
