Chapter 793 The Capital

Chapter 793 The Capital

Outside the horned race capital.

Grey hid behind a bush close to the capital gates.

'Void, try to see if there are any valuable treasures here.'

Void nodded and vanished. With Void gone, Grey started his training once again, this time, he focused on comprehending the earth element. Since he was in a great place like this, there was no use in trying any other element.

Time went by, and after half a day, Void came back with a broad smile.

"What did you get?" Grey couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing." Void replied, still smiling.

"Then why the hell are you smiling?" Grey looked at him suspiciously. There was no way Void would be happy if he didn't get anything.

"Because I got vital information about a treasure. We can head there right now." Void said excitedly.

This was one of the things he enjoyed doing, treasure hunting.

"Okay, where is it located?" Grey asked.

"About that, I think they said something about a white desert, don't know where it is." Void replied with a thoughtful expression.

"White desert?" Grey was a little curious.

He didn't waste any time and brought out the horned man he captured.

"Where's the white desert located?" He questioned.

"How do you know about that place?" The horned man asked, stunned.

He never expected that Grey would've been able to find out so many things about their race already.

"Answer the question, I don't have time for all this." Grey's expression went cold, as killing intent seeped out of his body.

"Where are we?" The horned man asked, a little fearful of Grey's terrifying killing intent.

"What does that have to do with what I asked you?" Grey studied the horned man closely.

"There's no way I can point you in the direction if I have no clue about where we are." The horned man explained.

"Fair point. Void, knock him out and get a map." Grey said.

"Wait, wait."

Bang!

The horned man was still in the middle of trying to plead with Grey before Void brought out a large mace and knocked him out.

"Where did you even get that?" Grey asked since this was his first time seeing it with Void.

"Pretty handy right?" Void asked with a smile as he swung the mace which was bigger than his body.

"I got it some time ago, before leaving the Azure Continent. I've used it a few times as well." He added.

Grey shook his head before keeping the body of the horned man back in his storage ring.

Void soon went back into the city and took a map from one of the stores. No one even noticed when he got in and out.

After bringing the map, Grey brought out the horned man once again and woke him.

"Here, point it out." Grey tossed the map at the horned man.

The horned man grabbed the map and a glint flashed through his eyes. Without wasting any time, and the fear of Void who held the mace behind him, he pointed at the position where the white desert was located on the map.

Grey nodded at Void, and before the horned man could even say a word, the mace landed on his head, and he was out cold once again.

"I love this." Void laughed as he played with the mace.

Grey chuckled before facing the direction the horned man showed him. If by any chance the horned man tricked him, he would kill him on the spot. He was sure that the horned man knew this as well.

Void appeared on his shoulder and they started their journey once again, leaving the capital.

From the map, the location the horned man pointed out was quite some distance away from their current location. If they moved in the same manner they did when coming to the capital, then they would take around one week or so. However, Grey was already getting used to the place, so they moved quickly.

The journey took them around three days, almost four days to be precise.

Grey looked at the map, before looking at their current location. He didn't rush to the place the horned man pointed at him because he didn't trust him entirely.

He gave Void a knowing glance and Void disappeared. Thirty minutes later, he came back with an odd expression.

"Apparently, the white desert isn't white." He said.

He captured one of the people there and found out the white desert was actually a secret organization. Only the top powerhouses in the race knew of it. This was the place where they kept all their treasures, including the orbs extracted from humans. After extracting the orb, they would go through multiple refining before the selected geniuses would get to use it.

"How did you know of this white desert anyway?" Grey couldn't help but ask.

Void brought out his mace once again, before taking out a horned man who looked to be on the verge of death. The horned man didn't even have the usual look horned men had.

"What did you do to him?" Grey was forced to ask, even he found the look of the man to be horrendous.

"Interrogation." Void replied before hitting the horned man with the mace once again.

"He isn't even conscious yet." Grey felt pity for the horned man.

"I know, I'm just making sure he's out." Void grinned.

"You're almost no different from Klaus." Grey shook his head.

"I wish he were here, things would've been better." Void sighed, a little sad that the group separated before they found this place.

"Are there any powerful experts there?" Grey turned his attention to the matter that brought him here.

According to what Void found out, there were treasures here. He naturally had no use for the orbs that were extracted from humans, but there would definitely be things of value to him there.

Void gave him a detailed overview of the place. It was a secret base underground with multiple levels. This place was a secluded place to begin with, so no one would know there was a large tunnel underground.
