Chapter 420 - 370 : Imparting a Skill (1/2)
Arthur and Lucy didn't remain in that area too long. They achieved what they came here to do so they should leave, or so thought Arthur. However, it wasn't as simple as that. If it was just to do this much, he wouldn't have come all the way from the future to specifically tell Lucy to travel to this secret realm.
Sure, they got discovered but as long as they're not caught by the old man, everything should be alright. Before he left, Artid told them some interesting things, it appears that the Holy Dominion sent even more people after him. They arrived here a few days late, nonetheless, their motives were clear and from the looks of it, they dispatched more than just a Deacon this time around.
Furthermore, leaving this world isn't easy, to say the least. If one is powerful enough, they can forcefully break their way out but it is advised to wait until everyone is exiled back to Green Leaf.
Although the entry portal doesn't disappear even after some time, which gives some of the cultivators to catch up, the way out proves to be a troublesome. In a way, the cultivators are trapped here, willingly, of course.
Since they had no specific destination in mind, the couple decided to go the center of the realm, where the pregnant female dragon is.
Almost all of the powerful cultivators are sure to be there, however, the butler would try to find Lucy and he won't bother looking in that place. The most obvious hideout are usually the best. Even if they encounter that powerful old man, Arthur would improvise, after all, the butler is weakened and he can't take them both that easily, even if he's an Overgod.
Claud also assured him, telling him to be careful and if things go south, blow everything using the Vermilion Bird's body. With the addition of the Fire Spirit and the Empyrian Dragon's blood, coupled with the divine beast's skills, the destruction he can cause is unimaginable.
Honestly, Arthur was a bit interested about the Space Dragon but he wasn't greedy for its treasures as he couldn't care less about its wealth. He wanted to see what a true powerful dragon looked, a dragon that lived a million years.
The couple journeyed together, Arthur possessing Lucy while she took the appearance of a middle-aged man. Arthur used a miniature concealing formation to lower her presence and make the specter scent minimal.
Surprisingly, in their way to the dragon's lair, the stumbled upon a fierce yet familiar girl. Wielding her red sword and viciously slashing a golden rhino, which was, in fact, a peak Sovereign Beast. The thick murderous aura emanating from her made her easily recognizable.
Jian Si, seeing a middle-aged man stop a distance away from her, was a bit startled as he appeared out of nowhere. After a simple glance, she paid him no heed, after all, there's no lack of powerful cultivators roaming this land.
Noticing that he kept staring at her, she furrowed her brows, about to question him only for a telepathic voice to enter her ears.
”It's me.”
Cold Sword immediately knew whose voice it is. She sheathed her sword and looked at Lucy with a strange look. Every time she meets him, he has a different appearance, she can't even feel the ominous aura of the Dark Magic.
”What are you doing here?”
'Heading to the center of the realm since the dragon is there.'-Arthur
Lucy didn't talk but Arthur replied to the curious Jian Si through telepathy, make her even more confused to why he refuses to openly talk.
'The one you're looking at is Lucy, I'm hiding… somewhere.'
Cold Sword didn't ask too many questions, after nodding her head, she resumed her long hunt. However, it didn't seem that Arthur was going to let her be. Lucy followed the girl around as her husband questioned the latter
”Do you know when the dragon will give birth?”
”I don't know.”
”Then what about who's currently there?”
”I don't know.”
”What about your juniors, where are they?”
”I don't know.”
It's either she really didn't know or was purposely doing that. In any case, Arthur said something that made her completely change attitude.
”Hmmm you don't know… here I thought about teaching you a sword technique.”
The walking Jian Si suddenly halted, turning her stiff head toward the middle-aged man a distance behind her. A beautiful smile was plastered on her usually cold face, making even the indifferent Lucy speechless.
