Chapter 157 The Capital - A Bone to Pick With
When Daniel ree number of powerful cultivators started to appear on the spot
These cultivators arrived from various different parts of the capital, and only noere they able to notice that so had happened in this particular part of the city
The area of the city where Daniel had appeared, was one of the less populated and poor areas of the entire capital, and if it wasn't for the still functioning teleporting platform present in it, people would have coo
The experiht, and prepared
In an area like this, even if people suddenly stopped arriving out of the blue, people would not put too much attention in the matter It wasleft without , the for
Around the area, a spatial illusion that showed a minimal and yet present population had been activated Daniel had noticed it when he was forced to take over the burden of keeping the people stuck inside
He had had to hold the spatial barrier and the illusion long enough for the infected people stuck inside the barrier to die, for him and Der to recover, and to purify their clothes and bodies from the virus
Another reason why he did that, aside fro to keep the infected in, was to avoid people in the outside fro what had happened too soon
If a nosy cultivator arrived while the people were still on the verge of dying, they could have broken through the barrier with the intention of helping, and let the virus spread through the entire city instead
He really had no other choice He had to cut the finger in order to save the hand
”What the hell happened here?!” Shouted one of the cultivators that had arrived first She was a reen robe, and appeared to hold a higher position than others, as the others kept quiet while she talked
It didn't take long for the cultivators to notice Daniel and Der
They approached theed wo”
Der turned to look at Daniel, and then back towards the ed woman He then said ”It's better if you ask him He knoay more than I do”
The various cultivators turned to look at Daniel, and one of them aid ”Start ho the two of you are”
”We are o from another city, after we've received a perion When we arrived here, there was a spatial blockade in the area Later we found out that an experiious poison-like substance was being held in it” Responded Daniel patiently He could see that this woman had a temper, so he decided to cut to the chase
The brows of the woman narrowed as she heard Daniel's words She then asked ”Do you have any proof? And why is there your mark in the spatial essence within this area?”
”I have no physical proof, as I had to destroy everything which could have been infected for safety reasons I had so Unfortunately, they weren't kind enough to leave a cure behind I've recreated the blockade the very moment they released it Aside from me and him, nobody survived” Said Daniel with a plain tone which becahtly broken as he reached the end of the phrase
”That's quite the story Do you have anything that can convince me that you two aren't the culprits yourself?” Said the wo to be cold, but that that was her usual demeanor
”We only have a few na”
”The Poisonous Rose, and the Transparent Thorn” Said Daniel as clearly as possible
After hearing these two naed woman twisted in a hateful expression that sent shi+vers down Daniel's back ”Describe him to me”
”Late sixties, bald hite hair on the sides and the back, around a hundred and seventy-five centihtly bent back, short te any other kind of alchemical compost”
The er of the woman became
Unable to hold back any ”Why did he leave you alive? Why did he tell you his naroup he is part of?”
”I assuo is at fault He was so sure that his virus would have killed us, that he had no proble his shoulders ”He also mentioned that his creation kills in twelve hours, whichto him, I didn't have more than an hour or so left to live”
Daniel's words made sense It seeation, and in fact, he had He had distracted hiround, and desperate crying, by preparing the explanation he would be required to give soon
”Is that why the area is in this state?” Asked the wohtly, and said ”Yes, the virus was airborne, and if I didn't purge the area entirely, it would have definitely spread around, once one of you would have tried to push throughthe virus, is now floating in the void inside of a pocket dimension with no connection to this world”
”This is the first lie you've toldsternly at Daniel
