Chapter 141 The Te (1/2)
”Have you gone er in Snowcloud's tone was matched by her expression ”He's a recruit, and you want hi?”
”Lady Snowcloud, novices aren't supposed to know about the Te at her
”Recruits aren't supposed to undergo it,” Snowcloud retorted sharply
”He's hardly a usual recruit,” Elder Naran said ”Even without the Blood h tokills even adepts,” Snowcloud said
”Sorow stronger”
”What are the two of you talking about?” Arran cut in He had absolutely no idea what the Te was, but froerous ”What is this 'Te is one of the steps of the True Path,” Elder Naran replied ”It purifies the body and ht now, it is the only thing that ht solve your predicaer still clear in her voice
”Burnat Elder Naran suspiciously
Elder Naran scraped his throat ”I suppose it could be described that way The Teic to slowly burn the i you in the process But it's sothens those who go through it”
”Only those who survive,” Snowcloud interjected ”And none of them are recruits”
”He has a better chance than you ic will help his body regenerate, and coh” He looked at Arran ”But of course, there are risks, and ultimately, the choice is yours”
Arran frowned at the words
While the Te, Elder Naran see it And although that hardly filled Arran with confidence, it would be better than waiting for the bloodlust to grow until he couldn't control it anymore
”Will this cure ic?”
”It won't,” Elder Naran said ”As I said earlier, the Blood ood is it?” Arran asked
”The Te will not just purify your body,” Elder Naran said ”As you reform your body, you will also acquire true control over it If all goes well, once the Te is over you will fully co those created by the Bloodlook, then continued, ”You're quite lucky Had you been afflicted with Blood , it would be i it under your control this way”
As Elder Naran finished speaking, Arran gave the e, it sounded like this Teerous and painful affair, and even then, it wasn't guaranteed to help hih with it, but not beforesure that there really wasn't any other path
He turned to Snowcloud ”Do you have any other ideas?”
She hesitated before speaking ”We could return to the Sixth Valley,” she finally said, though her voice was filled with doubt ”There are ht know a true cure” After a glare at Elder Naran, she added, ”One that doesn't involve burning you alive”
Arran frowned at the answer If they returned to the Sixth Valley, Snowcloud would fall into the hands of Elder Fang, and would not be allowed to leave again That meant she would be unable to finish the cure for the Patriarch
While he was surprised that she would do that for his sake, he kneas too large a sacrifice to ask of her Yet before he could say so, Elder Naran spoke up
”They won't help hiiant Elder said ”He's not even a full an
”Using your position to force the issue won't work,” Elder Naran interrupted her ”Your influence has already fallen too far If it hadn't, do you think Elder Fang would have dared to order your capture?”
”Then what about you?” Snowcloud asked, though she sounded uncertain ”If he has the backing of an Elder, won't they help hihed bitterly ”If I speak for hi Sun and Iron Mountain will opposethe issue At best, he will be sent away At worst, they will try to have him executed”
”Then we can seek help elsewhere,” Snowcloud said, not ready to give up ”I can ask Lord Sevaril—”
”No!” Arran interrupted her sharply Ignoring Snowcloud's confused look, he turned his eyes to Elder Naran ”What if I search by ain, you ic for h” Elder Naran paused before continuing, his gaze fixed on Arran ”But do you think you will be able to avoid battle as you search for a cure?”
Arran sighed Even without the bloodlust, avoiding battle while searching for a cure would be difficult And with the bloodlust, it was plainly ih to break his control, possibly for good
