Chapter 193 The 'deal'
Inside, Krune and the others appeared in sequence. They looked around to see if there was anything dangerous and then spread their Divine Sense. Noticing nothing wrong, every group gathered together to discuss where they should go first.
Just as the Wang Clan guys were about to do the same, Feifei left their group and went to where Krune and the other participants of the Divine Path Sect were.
They felt confused at first but still followed her nonetheless.
When Feifei arrived there, she and Krune started the play they had agreed beforehand.
"Krune, our deal is still up, right?"
Krune came forward and nodded.
"You already paid me for it, so don't worry, I will keep my part of the deal."
Both the Wang Clan and Divine path Sect participants didn't know what they were talking about.
Krune then asked.
"When do you want to go?"
Feifei pretended to think about it.
Wang Mo couldn't hold his curiosity and asked her.
"Feifei, what is this deal that you are talking about? Where do you intend to go?"
Feifei ignored him and said.
"Now is a good time! Can we go?"
Krune nodded and extended his hand.
"No problem! Hold my hand."
The guys narrowed their eyes when they heard that. Still, it seemed like Krune and Feifei had some kind of deal, so they just decided to follow Feifei, for now, to know what was happening.
As soon as Feifei did so, Krune's body started to let out sparks of purple lightning! Obviously, Krune was going to use his Tribulation Lightning Movement.
The next second, Krune and Feifei disappeared in a flash of purple light! Of course, as soon as Krune left, the others used their Divine Sense to see where he was. Krune might be fast, but not to the point where he can leave the range of the Divine Sense in a second.
As soon as the Wang Clan guys noticed that, they set off in pursuit. As for the Divine Path Sect participants, they were thinking if they should follow or not. They intended to stay with Krune from the start. But with what just happened, it seemed like Krune didn't care about having a group or not. Not to mention that different from the Wang Clan guys, they didn't receive any orders to stay with Krune or not.
Wang Mo was the fastest one between the Wang Clan pursuers. But his face was quite ugly at the moment. That is because even after giving his all, he is just barely able to keep up with Krune's pace. As for the others, they were falling behind little by little. One must remember that Krune's cultivation is quite a few stages lower than them. It's already impressive that he and Wang Mo have the same speed in his human form while carrying Feifei.
Krune was also using his Divine Sense and got surprised to see that Wang Mo was as fast as him with his Tribulation Lighting at 50%. Feifei also noticed that and told Krune through a Divine Sense message.
"Wang Mo is already at the 9th Stage of the Core Formation Realm. The three elements he uses the most are Lightning, Fire, and Wind, so it is normal for him to be able to keep up with you. After all, you are still 5 stages lower than in cultivation."
Krune nodded and then said.
"Since that's the case, there is no need for me to hold back anymore."
Krune immediately returned to his wisp form while putting his clothes back into the spatial ring. He then grabbed Feifei with his Spiritual energy and once more dashed forward! This time, Krune was really using his fastest speed, the Tribulation Lightning Movement, at 80%! Not to mention that his control is a lot better in his wisp form. Feifei saw that and smiled. It gave her the same sensation when she embraced Krune back when she arrived at the Divine Path Sect.
Wang Mo, who was already fuming with that fact that he could barely keep up, got even angrier when he saw Krune returning to his wisp form. It is common sense that Demon Beasts are always stronger in their original forms, so he knew things turned worse. Sure enough, Krune's speed got a lot higher than before! Wang Mo simply couldn't move that fast unless he is willing to pay the price.
The problem is, he knows that Krune probably can move at that speed without any side effects other than a higher consumption of Spiritual Energy. As for him, he would be damaging his dantian if he used the same technique that Wang Ting did back then. Not to mention that his increase in speed would have a time limit, different from Krune. In the end, he decided to not risk it.
He kept following Krune from a distance until a few minutes later, Krune and Feifei finally left the range of his Divine Sense. During all this time, Krune's speed hadn't lowered it the least! Wang Mo was now sure that that this is Krune's real speed, and that keeping the pursuit would give him no results.
He then stopped at the place where he lost Krune and Feifei and waited. Soon after, the other three guys from the Wang Clan territory arrived at his side.
"Did you lose them?"
Wang Mo nodded.
"That wisp is just too damn fast! Not to mention that he was carrying Feifei with him. Once he turned back to his wisp form, even me at my fastest couldn't keep up with him."
Want Ting and the other two were surprised by that since they know that Wang Mo's strength and specialized elements.
"What do we do now? Grand elder will explode in rage if he finds out that we lost her."
Wang Mo shook his head.
"With Krune's speed, there is nothing we can do. But we at least know where they should be heading to, which is the Inner Core region. As long as we go there, we should find them sooner or later."
Wang Mo then looked at the other three and asked.
"By the way. Do you know anything about this deal that Feifei had with Krune? It seems like Krune only did what he did because Feifei paid him for that."
Tuesly Huviu pondered a bit and said.
"Considering the deal that she said, it is probably because Feifei wanted to be alone. But she couldn't outspeed us, so she paid Krune to bring her away. Chances are that they will part ways once she thinks that they are far enough."
Wang Mo and the others nodded. With the information that they had, it seemed like to be the case.
Mar Jilano then said.
"Of course, that is considering that it is all true. At the end of the day, it might have all been a pretense as well. Still, we have no way to know that now, so we can only move to the Inner Core Region."
Wang Mo had to admit that it made sense. After all, there was no need for Feifei to use words to talk about this "deal." She could have used the Divine Sense message instead.
"Anyway, let's move out. Also, remember that this place is a dimensional realm for us to temper ourselves. So there should be quite a few dangers the further in we get. Make sure to keep your eyes open because I won't sacrifice myself for you in case you get into a hopeless situation."
They might be together now, but they are still rivals trying to get Feifei's heart. So the lesser the number of them, the better. It is also for the sake of their own futures.
Somewhere else in the Dimensional Realm, the five Black Clothed cultivators and demon beasts in human form appeared. Although they had been teleported right inside the Dimensional Realm, it wasn't possible to select a specific place to land. As soon as they looked around, an early stage Divine Soul beast noticed their presence. The beast was surprised that someone appeared inside its territory out of nowhere! But soon, the beast attacked!
"You dare to enter my Lava Golem territory? Die!"
The five guys looked at that and snorted. One of them came forward and took out a black pearl. That pearl then started to shine, and death energy sipped out. The Divine Soul Lava Golem noticed the danger and immediately retreated! It only took a second to understand that it wasn't those black-clothed guys match at all!
"Hmph! Isn't it too late to run?"
The lava Golem's life force then started to come out against his wish. Soon, more than half of his life force was gone! It noticed that it would be dead soon and immediately used a forbidden technique of his race. Its body then turned into flowing Lava and sipped into the earth. It didn't stop the life force from coming out but gave it the chance to scape its range.
The man noticed that the Lava Golem escaped far into the ground but didn't pursue it. His objective wasn't to kill the Divine Soul beasts inside this place, after all.
The leader and the other three looked at that but didn't move either. After he returned to their group, the leader came forward to give the orders.
"We are going to separate. Remember, unless you are leaving clues behind, try to focus on the target. If we fail this mission, consider our lives forfeit already. We need to kill her and take that thing back."
The leader then took a tool out that looked like a compass and charged it with Spiritual Energy. Soon, his eyes narrowed.
"It seems like we are on the northwest side of the dimensional realm. As you know, we can't use divination on that Girl, so we will need to look for them the old way. Considering the information that we got about the Divine Path Sect, they will probably take around a month to mend the connection with the Dimensional Realm. So that is our time limit."
He looked at the other four and said.
"Lastly, there can't be any witness. If you find anyone other than Feifei, kill them as well and make sure to not leave behind any clues."
Everyone nodded, and they immediately separated.
