Chapter 382 - 333 : Lisa (1/2)

After conversing with Jian Si for a while, Arthur came to know of the whereabouts of the princess. As he expected, she was abducted by Vyncent's sect, the Golden Earth Sect. They were once a powerful sect but after a fallout with several other sect, they were half-destroyed, dropping to a second-grade power.

They still had powerful individuals but it shouldn't be hard for Arthur to retrieve the girl, who's still alive, fortunately.

The reason several sects ganged up against the Golden Earth Sect is due to its sinister techniques. They require young females, virgins especially, which are sacrificed in some kind of a ritual to strengthen the disciples there. They require an astronomical amount of females so they began hoarding mortal cities and towns, abducting every female. This angered the local powers which forced it to submission.

Right now, the sect secretly sends its disciples to kidnap a few females, any exposure is met with death sentence. No matter the cost, they must not let anyone know of their mission. This explains why Vyncent and his comrades were especially careful.

Speaking of that young man, Arthur was wondering if he's still alive. He's one sly bastard, however, he had to admit that he's an interesting fellow. Last time, he didn't hesitate to turn tail and flee when he saw him.

Since Arthur was busy fighting an elder from the Golden Earth Sect, he couldn't chase after the swift young man.

Vyncent knew when to act and when to be obedient, he only believes in survival and has no loyalty whatsoever.

Furthermore, his special technique is fascinating, to say the least. It allowed him to melt into the ground and travel with insane speed, it even left Arthur in awe.

Syth was still missing and even Cold Sword couldn't locate him, however, his little sister is a servant in the Golden Earth Sect. Servants are literally slaves which follow every order of the disciples. Not only are they forced to do rough labor work, they are forced to satisfy the sexual desires of any of the disciples.

Lisa must have been living miserably ever since she was abducted. Fortunately, she was considered one of the defects so she wasn't sacrificed in the ritual.

”So, why didn't you go retrieve her?”

Arthur coldly stared at Jian Si while expecting an answer. Compared to the Golden Earth Sect, the Mountain Ba Sword sect is a behemoth, even if she were to go knocking at their door and cause trouble, they wouldn't dare attack her or be discourteous.

”The Golden Earth is located far South of the Green-Leaf World, precisely inside of the dangerous zones. Unless you know that place like the back of your hand, you won't be able to enter.”

Arthur remained silent as he pondered about what to do. There's a bit more than two months before Makaze is repaired, or so was the limit as per the conditions of the Fate contract.

Although it's not a powerful sect, there's bound to be a God Monarch or two inside the sect and that's while disregarding the Sovereigns.

If he had Makaze, he would be confident in annihilating it, unfortunately, he doesn't. Moreover, Lucy is training so she can't accompany him.

Nonetheless, Arthur still decided to go. If he wanted to escape, none could stop him. Plus, he had Rizaki and the Heavenly Arrows, which can cause absolute destruction.

He was strong against large masses, especially with his racial abilities, which allowed him to fool the enemy.

Cold Sword noticed Arthur's silence, she frowned and said

”Don't tell me you plan to go?”

Without turning to look at her, Arthur replied

”I may not be a good person but I can keep a promise, at least.”

He truly considered the deceased Human Emperor his friend. He once promised him that he'll take care of his children if something were to happen.

Not only were they kidnapped, Lisa is surely suffering in that sect right now. The ARK showed him that he had 75% chance of retrieving Lisa and leaving alive.

The ARK's calculations took into account all his abilities stats and the speculated cultivation of his enemies.

”I will come with you.”

Seeing her showing a resolute look, Arthur shook his head and mocked

”So now you want to go? I don't need you.”

Truthfully, seeing her character, Arthur thought that she'll diligently look for the two missing people. However, seeing the results, he was really disappointed.

It seems Jian Si only focused on cultivating and only spared a bit of effort to inquire about Lisa and Syth.

”I-it's not like I could barge in and immediately locate the sect. You have to understand that not everyone is like you.”

The girl wanted to argue with him only to receive a retort that made her shut her mouth for good.

”Still, with your sect's power. It wouldn't be that hard to enter that zone and locate the sect.”

What he said was absolutely true. Cold Sword was never a person who relies on her sect's influence so she never considered such an option, which left her momentarily speechless.

Before she could talk again, Arthur had already disappeared, leaving her alone.

After a long while, the girl snorted and mumbled

”Hmpf! Syth or whatever… It's just a kid! I'll find him!”
