485 Jeanne (1/2)

”I see her coming here.”

”Yes. I am aware she is going toward this direction. Blackwade Clan has been transacting with this mysterious influence called Spirit Nest. Seeing their heir, Song Yu, coming toward this place without any guards, she must come to meet them.”

”That's right. We need to investigate this new influence. Even though they are new, I heard they have many strong fighters…”

”Besides that, I heard from the rumor that this group is full of handsome men and pretty women!”

A group of five were discussing Spirit Nest. The higher up had asked them to investigate this Spirit Nest but always left no clue behind. They were pretty lucky to see Song Yu coming alone to this average place.

No one would notice them if they made a base here, considering this place was a jungle with low-level monsters. The energy around this place was also not really good, making them hard to cultivate, but because of this, no one could predict this.

How can they predict a powerful group built their base in a place like this. They could not even cultivate in this place because of the lack of energy. Luckily, the Spirits did not need energy to cultivate, only monsters. Only Alex needed the energy to consolidate his foundation while Sherry and Kyle could live with just Spirit Stones and Gathering Array.

Observing the shack from a distance, they started planning on how to go inside. On the other hand, Jeanne managed to see their cultivations. ”Three 5-Star and two 4-Star Martial Kings… who are they? What can they do with this low power… Do they think they can do anything to Song Yu with their little power… Wait… this presence...”

Jeanne signaled Greg to move toward their exit so she could kill them while Anna was talking with Song Yu. Meanwhile, she observed the other presence and was amazed to see a 1-Star Martial Emperor here.

He was almost considered a middle-aged man. If only his orange hair and beard were slightly longer, he would look older. His body was not that muscular, but his Spiritual Energy was quite powerful.

”This might be bad…” Jeanne signaled for Anna to come up.

Anna frowned upon seeing this man too, never expecting a Martial Emperor to come. This would mean the other party was serious about it.

”I am sorry. This must be my fault. I will lure them away from this place.” Song Yu said after coming up together with Anna.

”Jeanne, can you beat that Martial Emperor?”

”Hmm… I think I can… but I need to use my True Spirit Body.”

Not shocked by the request, Anna nodded. ”Granted. I will handle the others.”

”The usual plan?” Jeanne asked.

”Yeah. Greg is on his way there.”

”What is the usual plan?” Song Yu asked, wondering what they were going to do.

”It's just a simple plan.” Anna shrugged. ”You are the guest of the house now. You can consider this as a little tip for the box. Just sit back, relax, get some snacks and wait for us in this place.”

”But I am a Peak Martial King, I could deal with that Martial Emperor somehow.” Song Yu looked at them, telling them she wanted to join. But, Anna simply rejected her.

”We are not that weak.”

She then walked inside and said, ”lure them to our usual place.”

”Aye.”

”You said you have spotted that Song Yu up to this place… So, where is she?” The Martial Emperor asked.

”She should be inside that shack. However, we are waiting for Senior Brother to come since we can't do anything to her.” One of them said.

”We will wait for her here. She will eventually come up and we will then start investigating this area.” The Martial Emperor said.

”Understood.”

However, at this time, Jeanne came out of the house and leaped between the woods, creating a shadow. Because her and Song Yu's stature were not that different, the moment they saw this shadow, they were convinced that Song Yu noticed them and tried to run.

”That's…” One of them saw that blurry shadow.

”This is odd… Blackwade Clan is in the opposite direction.” The Martial Emperor frowned before ordering. ”You guys check that shack out. There is a possibility for that shack to be an outpost or something and the base is the way she is heading now. I will chase after her.”

Those five nodded as all of them started moving.

Anna simply smiled as she left the clue about the underground tunnel, planning to wipe them out in that tunnel.

Because of Anna's rejection, she did not help and continued to wait for them, believing that Alex's friends were not that weak.

Meanwhile, those people started going down the tunnel, entering the dark cave. Upon seeing the light inside, they knew someone was inside. Sadly, they did not realize Anna was behind them.

Butterflies started appearing out of nowhere, making it look unnatural. They looked around to see what was happening, but Anna had moved right above them, smiling as she clenched her scythe.

”!!!” The movement of the scythe alarmed them, albeit it was too late.

Meanwhile,

”Who is it?” After a while, Jeanne stopped on her track and acted like she realized something, leading the Martial Emperor to reveal himself.

Surprised with what he found, he furrowed his eyebrows. ”You… you are one of the Spirit Nest's members… To think you are this beautiful. With your little stature, you should be popular with the ones who have weird taste.”

He said that with confidence after realizing Jeanne was only a 9-Star Martial King while he was a 1-Star Martial Emperor. ”I give you two choices. Lead me to your base or I will make you a prostitute.”
