Chapter 517 Through the Iron Curtain (2/2)

The second of the two brothers was currently pacing back and forth inside his tent On his face was a pensive expression, and in his hands, were two translucent beads that he would grind together in an attempt to alleviate the stress of the situation To attract his attention, , was his son's arrival, who, followed by a scared yet subjugated Saha, entered his tent confidently

”Father We are nearing the li into this universe without being noticed I don't see an outco a conflict with Competition's followers Wouldn't it be better to atte his opinion on their current situation

His father nodded with disappointet that In order to do that ould need to take the inter-diuardians would escape to find reinforcements, would require us to outnumber them ten to one Focus on what I have asked you to do” Responded his father with a diser-looking htened his back one more time, and added, ”We have moved people to the Half Moon sect, and the inter-dimensional portal They will only act in case they will see the boy, or one of the four young women approach Otherwise, they'lluntil they reach the portal?”

”They could be there innoticed by patrols, I have ordered thehly two hours” Responded the son proudly It was clear to his uncle, and anyone that would have witnessed this conversation taking place, that the son had a high opinion of his father, and in exchange for following his orders blindly, he wished for nothing more than his approval

Unfortunately, the father did no such thing Instead, he nodded his head in understanding, and after putting the two translucent beads he was holding onto the desk, he said, ”Good Go with them”

”What? Father, I can beparty” responded the son with surprise

”This is not a punishment I know that sooner or later the boy's atte him to the inter-dimensional portal You have learned how to possess bodies, so you can get closer than the others” Said the father with a matter of fact tone He then sat on his chair, and after a few moments, he added with a more serious tone, ”If you wish to redeem yourself from your previous failure That is up to you”

While he hadn't said it directly, the son was fully aware that his father felt disappointotten so close to capturing Daniel, retrieving the legacy, and saving the entire Blood Sect but his atteone up in s excuses, he chose to be grateful of the chance he was given to redeem himself, and said, ”Very well I proh me” He then bowed politely to his father, his uncle, and then left Followed by the scared yet quiet Saha

Two hours later, open space

”He said two hours at superluminal speed What did he mean?” Asked Lilith with confusion She and the others had spent the last two hours in silence But as they approached the two hours mark, Lilith remembered Daniel's words, who clai as they would maintain a speed which they did not understand

Dawn and Cassie did not respond, and instead, they turned to look at Rose, which was the person to whom Lilith's question was truly directed at

”I think he ht speed But I don't knohy he would think that we can do that Without a deep comprehension of space and time, or the cultivation of our patriarch We can't move that fast” Responded Rose with a dispirited tone A state of mind which she had felt in preparation to the question that one of her coh, Cassie asked, ”Then how long do you think it will take us, at our speed To get to the portal?”

”Years”

”YEARS?!” Barked out Lilith in response, with eyes opened wide in shock

Despite her high cultivation, Lilith was only a young woman in her mid twenties, and that was the same for her three co periods of solitude, nor was she used to feeling threatened every second of the day To think that she would have to spend the next years flying towards a single direction was enough for her to lose her mind

That worry was shared by Cassie, who after hearing Rose's response, began to show the first signs of a mental breakdown

The only one who could maintain her calroup, had been eager to see the universe that lay beyond the skies which she was so used to staring at Her calmer attitude allowed her to remain focused on their destination, which to her surprise Had suddenly appeared in front of her eyes

”Maybe it is better that the three of you take a look at that” She said After grabbing the now still rock that Daniel had entrusted to her

The three young women turned to look towards the same direction as Dawn, and there, they saw an enor with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers, and in front of it, a small plant around which uncountable cultivators flew back and forth, swar it like a bee hive

”Isn't that?” Asked Rose while blinking rapidly with disbelief

”The inter-dimensional portal Obviously” Said a familiar voice that came from beside Dawn When the four of them turned to look at who had just spoken, they noticed the presence of Daniel, as casually floating in space as if he had always been with the, however, Daniel turned to look at Dawn, and said, ”You can let go of my hand now”
