Chapter 401 Playing Dirty (2/2)

Meanwhile, in another area specifically created to hold the re participants of the event, was a massive square filled with two hundred participants Around the square, were a few nuant inns, and in the hands of each of the cultivators present, was a small wooden plank on which the number of the inn, as well as the nuuys think they siht?” asked Finn with curiosity

While not at all powerful when coh imh to recover from most injuries in a few hours

The lack of sleep was also so that separated a cultivator froans required less and less rest the more powerful they became This was the reason of Finn's confusion, as he could not understand what the reason for stopping the event at such a late time, was

”It's likely due to an event hosted by the organizers of the One Above All” Said a young woroup of five along with two of her companions She was one of the participants of the event, as well as one of the twenty students of Romah, the Teacher From the way she approached, it was clear that she was not there with ill intent, but simply to start a conversation

”What makes you say that?” Asked Finn with politeness

”We are not iht waiting for us to do so woman with awo, that Nilo chimed in, and asked, ”Are you here for the second reason e have been sent here?”

”Which is?” Asked the young wothat she did not already know the answer to that question

”What are you two talking about?” Asked Finn with confusion

Nilo turned to look at his friend, and responded by saying, ”All the tests we have had to go through since the event has begun, have been challenges that put our character to the test However, there is one side that has been ignored”

”What is that?”

Before Nilo could say so, Fyro broke his usual streak of quietness, to say, ”Playing dirty”

As Finn showed an expression of realization, Nilo turned to look at the young woman and her companions, and asked, ”This is why you are here, but is there a reason for your group to worry?”

”Not worry It is out of precaution Your group and ours cohth of the amount of participants left Would not hurt us to keep an eye out for each other” Responded the young woman

At this point, the woman did not believe Nilo to be aware of the real reason why she was seeking this brief alliance between their two groups After all, the iained by being Romah's students

However, to her surprise, Nilo turned to look at the roughly hundred seeether, and said, ”Are you worried about them?”

These hundred cultivators were, just like Nilo's group, the three rich looking young men, the humanoid beasts, and the twenty students, followers of one of Iewah's children Specifically, the Chare We don't understand their nature yet, but they are of the manipulation kind I would rather not have to face the woman with a matter-of-fact tone

”Why not ask the beasts, or the three rich guys over there?” Responded Nilo with curiosity He had kept an eye on this group of students, and he knew for a fact that he and his friends were the first ones these students had decided to approach, after being teleported into this square

”Because if they'll decide to target soroups The beasts are subdued by their master, and no mental power that will try to stop that connection, will ever ith them Similarly, the followers of the Merchant have abandoned their interest towards anything but wealth” Explained the young wo that if they wanted to collaborate, they ht as well be honest with them

For a few ht, and whether they should accept or not When suddenly, right before speaking his roup of one hundred cultivators

Two roup had started to move towards one of the few cultivators ere not part of the following of Iewah's children

Their actions appeared polite, enough for the lone cultivator to not be wary of them Once next to hi piece of paper from within the inside pocket of his robe, and showed it to hi this piece of paper, the lone cultivator appeared to be stunned This gave enough time for the one of the char in his ear

Once done, the lone cultivator sroup

”We accept” muttered Nilo as a cold shi+ver started from the back of his head, and reached all the way down his lower back
