Chapter 643 - Problems

'Then again, this truly shows how bad this planet is for cultivation. Someone directly connected to the Imperial Family is only at the Soul Transformation Realm, and he's the leader of the Imperial Guardians in such an important city on top of that. Back in Sunkan, we even had Saint Realm cultivators in Jialin Country, which was a very unimportant and far away nation.'

Rean quickly put those thoughts behind as he focused on the issue in front. He pondered if he should use the Dimensional Realm to leave or not.

Frandin then looked at the elder as blood came out of his mouth. Then again, the elder wasn't going to let it go.

"It seems like you don't want to talk. How about I kill these humans of yours? You seem to like them quite a lot, right?"

The elder then sent his Spiritual Sense to Rean and Agis to see if they had anything hidden in their bodies. After all, he still didn't know how Frandin entered the Bloodline Trial Grounds. He checked Frandin's body one more time. Though, he couldn't find anything that pointed to the reason. It was just to make sure that he didn't miss anything. However...

"What?! Late and Peak Core Formation Realm?!"

Sure enough, a Spiritual Sense as strong as a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator was too strong for Rean to bend at such distance. The only reason the guy didn't notice it before was that his Spiritual Sense wasn't focusing on them. Now that he did, Rean's Spiritual Sense bending skill was far from enough to keep it away from his dantian.

"How's that possible? You're definitely younger than this Zasfin. No, you're younger than anyone I've ever seen at your level! Wait, could it be that the rumors were true..."

As soon as Rean heard that message, an idea popped into his mind. He then showed a helpless expression as he looked at Frandin.

"Gian (Frandin), there's no need to pretend anymore. He already figured it out."

Firmel was taken aback by Rean's words but narrowed right after.

"I did, huh? Why don't you tell me what I figured out?"

Rean, who had already sent Frandin and Agis a Spiritual Sense message, smirked.

"Are you pretending to be dumb? You should know very well what I'm talking about. Oh, well. I guess you're still being cautious, so I'll tell you anyway."

With a bit of difficulty, Rean and Agis moved their hands to their slave collars, removing them. That only made Firmel even more certain that his conjectures were correct. These humans had never been slaves to start with.

Agis then smiled as he said.

"That's right, we came from the Unity Celestial Land. Well, not that you don't know that already."

Soon after, Soul Power manifested as their Soul Marks appeared on their heads. Humans with Soul Marks!

"This..."

He could tell that they weren't fake. Those Bloodline Soul Marks were genuinely earned! There was only one place known for accepting humans to cultivate, the Unity Celestial Land. But because they were too far away and there was little information, a few believed it to be just rumors, nothing else. Firmel also believed that... until a moment ago.

Of course, there were also those areas like the Decadence Region. However, those zones were sealed, not allowing humans to escape. Besides, Rean and Agis's cultivation was just too ridiculously high for their age. That's not something humans, who had no access to resources in the Decadence Region, could achieve. Only a Celestial Land can make up such a genius into reality.

Rean then looked at Firmel with annoyance as he said.

"How long are you going to keep us locked down? Just release us already. I don't mind answering a few of your questions."

As much as Firmel didn't want to, he knew there was truly one way for humans to get a Soul Mark, and that would be the so-called Unity Celestial Land. Of course, he wasn't about to let them leave just because of that. After all, he said that being part of a Celestial Land wouldn't help them, let alone one as far away as Unity Celestial Land.

"Hmph! You three will come with me. If you try to run, know very well that I definitely won't hold back."

The Spiritual Energy Pressure that assaulted Frandin, Rean, and Agis immediately disappeared after that.

"Phew... the difference in cultivation is really annoying."

Firmel ignored that and enveloped the three with his Spiritual Energy. Soon after, he took flight and went back to the Bloodline Trial Grounds.

On the way, Agis and Frandin couldn't help but ask.

'Rean, what do you want to do with this? isn't it too risky?'

However, the one to answer wasn't Rean, but Roan through Sister Orb's help.

'The clans in this city only know so much about the Soul Rulers. Rean thought this was a good opportunity to ask someone directly connected to the Imperial Family about this. If the leaders of the various powers of this city know about it, the Imperial Guardians are bound to know more, especially this leader among them.'

Rean nodded as he continued.

'That's why I didn't send us all into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. I just want to have a chance to find something else. Besides, we have one more problem.'

Frandin immediately understood what the problem was.

'Now that they know about us, they probably connected the dots about the Portin and Asume Clans as well. Naturally, going there and asking them to take their Soul Purity Devices out won't work anymore. Simply put, we can't use them to call the Soul Rulers.'

That was the problem they were facing. If Rean's group wanted to do something similar once again, they would need to move to another big city like this one. As mentioned before, there were only four Rank Five Bloodline Trials in the Empire, so the next one was really far away. Their best bet would be to go to the next Empire instead. However, that would take a long time. That being said, Rean wanted to find a way out by talking with Firmel and the Imperial Guardians.
