Chapter 817: Interrogation (1/2)

Gravis used his Spirit Sense to check who had come to interrupt him. Since Gravis was lightning, the lightning didn't interfere with his Spirit Sense.

Gravis saw the rough-looking man and narrowed his eyes at him with annoyance.

However, Gravis noticed something peculiar when he looked at the man, which surprised him quite a bit.

'What's this?' Gravis thought as his eyebrows rose. 'Huh, that's a first. Who knew that this was possible?'

Gravis looked away from the person and looked at the sky. 'Is this why he arrived here?'

After some seconds, Gravis sighed and left the lightning storm.

SHING!

Gravis teleported to the middle of the Law Comprehension Area, facing the newcomer. The disciples were surprised when they saw Gravis suddenly appearing. Wasn't this the guy that arrived here a couple of months ago? He was still here? They thought that he had left already since they hadn't seen him since his arrival. Where had he hidden himself all this time?

Meanwhile, the different Sect Masters that watched sighed.

PACK!

The black pin was moved to this Law Comprehension Area on the map.

At the same time, a Sect Master looked at another one with a smug smirk. This was the Sect Master who owned this Law Comprehension Area, and he was looking at the Sect Master of the rough-looking man.

He already felt quite angry that someone was attacking his property, but now, he only felt gratified. Apparently, the ogre had been in his basement, and his enemy just so happened to charge right into it.

That's what they got for attacking him!

The other Sect Master only put his head in his hands in exasperation. Would he lose one of his Vice Sect Masters today? Why did that idiot have to attack this area!?

The rough-looking man saw Gravis but was uncertain who this was. After all, he hadn't seen the famous ogre before.

”Who are you?” he asked carefully. Usually, he wouldn't care who some random Peak Immortal was, but he had to be careful this time.

”I'm Gravis, and this is my Law Comprehension Area for the foreseeable future,” Gravis said.

The face of the rough-looking man whitened in shock.

The ogre!?

What kind of bullshit luck was this!?

He drew the ogre card three times in a row!?

”I'm sorry for disturbing you,” the rough-looking man said politely. ”I will be on my way now.”

Then, the Vice Sect Master turned around as he wanted to leave.

WHOOOOM!

However, a second Formation Array activated as it barred his path. When the rough-looking man saw this, his eyes widened in horror. Right! He had activated the challenge token already, which meant that the challenge had already been issued!

This meant that there was no way to avoid the fight anymore!

Terror took hold of the rough-looking man as he tried to think of a way out of this situation.

”I've got a question,” Gravis said, making the rough-looking man turn around nervously.

”Y-Yes?” he said meekly. The only thing he could do now was to appease Gravis since his life was now in Gravis' hands.

”Have you done something unsavory in your past?” Gravis asked with a voice transmission. He didn't want to make these things public. ”Like cursing Heaven repeatedly, killing too many weaker Cultivators, or using the Energy of mortals to further your own cultivation?”

The man was taken aback by the question. Where did that come from?

”N-No, I haven't,” he transmitted nervously. ”I'm just a normal Cultivator.”

BANG!

Lightning exploded behind Gravis as he arrived before the rough-looking man in an instant. The Law of Lightning's Explosiveness had increased Gravis' speed by quite a bit if he used his Lightning Acceleration. Additionally, Gravis' body was incredibly powerful.

Lastly, one shouldn't forget that an Early Minor Circulation Immortal King was only two levels above Gravis. This meant that Gravis was multiple times faster than the rough-looking man.

So, in short, the poor guy couldn't even react before Gravis arrived less than a meter in front of him, looking deeply into his eyes.

”Be honest,” Gravis said threateningly. ”Right now, you are still alive because there is something different about you. I see something that makes you vastly different from nearly every single other Cultivator, and I want to know why that is.”

The rough-looking man froze in fear. What was it with this absolutely insane speed!? How could a Peak Immortal be this fast!?

Hearing about strength and witnessing it was an entirely different experience. The rough-looking man had heard of the ogre's power, but seeing it truly showed him how helpless he was.

Meanwhile, the watching Sect Masters took a deep breath through their teeth. That was way too fast! They had seen Gravis kill that one Vice Sect Master before, but this time, his speed was even faster than back then!
