Chapter 252 - 252: Chu Stellar Kingdom
Angela gave a soft snort when she saw this.
He had just said that she wouldn't be able to hold back and would kill him, but didn't he do the same?
However, she also knew that this was different since this was a controlled way of killing him which she couldn't do.
Momonga was the Lich King, so naturally he had laws that were more pertaining to death.
While it seemed like he had just killed him with a single word like with death laws, in truth Momonga had actually killed him with his darkness laws, slowing everything in his body to the point where he had died. But by using his darkness laws to kill him, it had also allowed him to draw out the soul of the man he had just killed.
If Lin Fan had to describe it with a term from earth, it would be called necromancy.
By pulling out the soul with his darkness laws, he would be able to peer into the memories that the soul contained which was a much more effective way of getting information than just interrogating someone. One could never be certain of anything that was said unless it was taken straight from the soul.
But still, that didn't mean that Angela had to fully accept it. She could still have her bit of pride, no one could take that from her.
While Momonga was busy looking over the soul, Lin Fan finally came over to the girl. He bent over and took a look at the dagger that was in her waist and he could tell that this was a serious wound.
He had been ignoring her questions at first, but then he looked at her and asked, "How good are you at resisting pain?"
The girl was confused by why Lin Fan suddenly said this, but she said in as strong of a voice as she could muster, "I can take it."
Lin Fan nodded before saying, "Close your eyes and don't move."
The girl hesitated a bit, but she followed Lin Fan's orders in the end.
If they wanted to kill her, why would they have saved her?
Since that was the case, there was no reason for her to not trust him. Anyway, it wasn't like she even had the ability to resist and even if she did, she still wouldn't win since someone at the same level as her was easily crushed by them.
When she closed her eyes, Lin Fan came over and held her arm with one hand as the other hand went to the dagger that was in her waist. With one swift motion, he pulled out the dagger that was in her, causing a scream of pain to come from her as she bent over. Her hands came over to hold the wound, but Lin Fan held them back as he inspected her wounds.
It seemed like she had been lucky, the dagger had completely avoided her organs, the only problem was that she was bleeding out.
Lin Fan turned back to Angela and said, "Can you heal her?"
Angela just gave a nod and came over to use her wind laws to heal this girl.
Since they had already interfered, they might as well keep going until the end and fully save this girl.
The girl suddenly stopped when she felt the pain disappear. Opening her eyes, she saw the wound being healed at a visible rate as Angela used her wind laws on her.
What she was shocked by was not the rate that her wounds were healing at, but rather the laws that were being used to heal them. These laws were much stronger than anything she had felt before and it was clear that this was wind laws, which shouldn't be able to heal, yet it was healing her.
She couldn't help looking at Lin Fan's group with a curious gaze, wondering just who they were.
During this time, Lin Fan had already moved back to Momonga and asked, "Did you find anything yet?"
Momonga looked up from the soul and said, "Well I do have some information, but there's nothing that's related to this realm. The only thing I have is some information about the Stellar Kingdom they come from and some plot related to that girl."
The girl heard this and immediately asked, "Can you please tell me what you know? It would be very important to me."
The two of them just ignored her as Lin Fan asked, "What Stellar Kingdom do they come from?"
Momonga said, "It's one called the Chu Stellar Kingdom, a Stellar Kingdom that is far to the north universe, so it's actually quite isolated and not many people know about them. However, for them to come down south just for this Sacred Rock Realm, it really is strange, but there was an explanation in the memory for this."
Lin Fan raised a brow and asked, "Oh, what is it?"
Momonga continued, "The fourth prince who's in charge of this person found this key in an auction and after tracking down the seller, he found out about the Sacred Rock Realm. He knew that this would be dangerous and he also knew that this would be a good chance for him to take care of his seventh sister who had been receiving the attention of the King lately, so that was why he sent this man and that girl over there here. As for her, she's just a pawn, so she probably doesn't have much information."
Lin Fan looked over at the girl before asking, "But why would he do all this just to kill her? She's the seventh princess, it's not like she would be that high up on the succession list, right?"
Momonga shook his head at this as he also turned to look at the girl, "Normally you'd think that way, but this girl is quite the genius, so she has caught the attention of the King and has been moved up the succession list. The fourth prince regarded her as a threat, so that was why he considered taking her out even though she had been supporting him the entire time. But that is all their own problem, it has nothing to do with us."
They could both see the pleading look on the girl's face, but that didn't do anything for them.
But still, that impulse inside Lin Fan wouldn't go away…
He looked at the girl and then said, "First, what is your name?"
The girl was surprised to hear this, but seeing that they're finally willing to talk to her, she quickly replied, "Chu Ting."
Chu Ting was the seventh princess of the Chu Stellar Kingdom, but she was the only daughter out of the seven children of Stellar King Chu, so she had been pampered to a certain extent by her other siblings since she was young. She had lived a rather sheltered life and while she did know about how experts acted among themselves, she was also quite naive which was why she had said her real name so simply.
Lin Fan nodded before saying, "What information do you have on this inheritance? If it's good, we can make an exchange."
Chu Ting's expression became awkward when she heard this since she didn't actually have much information. She had only come here because her fourth brother had told her that he had found a hidden realm and didn't have time to go himself, so he would be giving it to her. She had fully believed this because her fourth brother had always treated her the best, so that was why she had been sincere in supporting him.
But now her world views had collapsed because of everything that had happened.
Chu Ting hesitated a bit before saying, "We only know that this was the inheritance for a Ruler's realm, we didn't know much else beyond that."
Lin Fan paused before saying, "So that means you know nothing about the inheritance realm and you were lying in the beginning?"
Chu Ting's expression became more awkward, but she still said, "Yes…"
With Chu Ting's nature, she was cautious around people she didn't know and didn't mind lying to them, but once she trusted them, she would try to be as honest as possible. That was just the naive nature that she had.
Lin Fan turned to look at Momonga for a bit before saying with a sigh, "Give her the information about the fourth prince and see what other information you can give her."
Chu Ting's eyes lit up when she heard this and she was about to jump forward to give Lin Fan a hug, but then she felt a pain come from her wound. She turned to see Angela glaring at her and she immediately obediently sat down.
Momonga looked at Lin Fan for a bit, but then he just gave a sigh and reached into the man's cloak to take out a ring. He pulled out a piece of jade from the ring and injected his life energy in before throwing it to Chu Ting.
They were silent for a few more minutes until Chu Ting's wounds were completely healed. Once her wounds were healed, she immediately stood up and began moving towards the stairs again since there was still the test happening, but before she could, Lin Fan had already grabbed the back of her collar and pulled her back.
Chu Ting looked at him with a confused look, but Lin Fan didn't care as he said, "It's time for you to retire."
