Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Uninvited Guest
The outer disciples had grown more confident with time. In this battle, they were the hunters. They were here to destroy this sect. And with the support from the Battleship, they truly felt invincible.
One of those disciples came across a young woman who was not wearing the Asura Sect's attire. Without asking a single question, the young man attacked the woman.
As soon as he moved, he felt that his body came to a sudden halt. Someone grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.
"Another enemy?" The young man swung his sword towards the person who stopped him. But the moment he saw that person's face, his face was filled with horror.
He quickly changed the direction of his sword, avoiding the person. He didn't even dare to leave a single scratch on that person's face, because it was none other than Eren.
"Elder..." The young man quickly dropped his sword while apologetically lowering his head. "Leave this place for me. Go elsewhere and continue with your mission."
"Yes Elder." The young man picked up the sword and ran away like his life depended on it.
He didn't understand why Eren came down from the ship. Even when they faced the Great Elders, he hadn't come down. He didn't even react at that time. And now that everything appeared stable, he was here?
Did something happen that forced him to come down? Was it something to do with that woman? He wasn't sure. Although he was curious, but his life was more valuable than his curiosity.
"It's you..." The woman saw Eren, her eyes widening in surprise. "Do you recognize me?"
"What are you doing here?" Eren deflected her question with one of his own. "Are you siding with the Asura Sect?"
"Siding with them? They are far too insignificant for me." The woman turned away and faced the door.
"Then why are you here?" Eren pressed.
"I came here to take something. What else?" she replied, fiddling with the door. "I thought I might have to destroy this sect along the way. But I didn't expect your people to create an easier path for me."
"While we're on that topic, I must say. You surprised me a lot. Last time, I forgot to ask your name or identity. I didn't expect you to be a part of that annoying Demon Sect."
"But don't worry. It doesn't matter. You are still my savior, so I will not do anything to you. And my offer still stands. If you ever need my help, you just have to contact me."
"Strange. There's no lock. How do you people even use such things?" she muttered.
"So, you're here to steal from the Asura Sect," Eren deduced. "As for the door, it's sealed with a formation. Only a formation master can open it."
"I see. No point in trying to open it then. I should've known." The woman clenched her fist, and instead of attempting to unlock the door, she punched the formation.
The force of her punch sent shockwaves all around. The formation wasn't stopped, but the entire door itself was shattered into pieces as it flew back. When there was no door, what could the formation lock even do?
Eren wasn't surprised when he watched her attack or the strength contained in that attack.
This girl had single handedly fought the Poison Dragon in the Forest of Death. She had seen an even more spectacular display of strength then.
If he hadn't stolen the kill, she would have been the one to kill the Poison Dragon. Not only did he steal her opportunity, but he also took Ye Liang's opportunity.
Originally, Ye Liang was supposed to meet this girl in the Forest of Death when she was poisoned. He had healed her poison with an antidote. But Ye Liang hadn't done the same.
In the original novel, Ye Liang didn't have the antidote. Hence, he slept with this girl in the novel. The woman was really furious in the morning, but she had mercy on Ye Liang and didn't kill him.
With time, they came across each other more and more and eventually became lovers. However, Eren cut that entire arc with his actions.
He had changed the future related to this girl that he saw in the novel. Not only did he prevent her meeting with Ye Liang, but he also temporarily cut any contact he might have had with the Southern Continent.
"My name is Sera. Last time I failed to introduce myself. What's your name?" the girl asked as she entered the hall.
With most of the guards and Elders dead, no one was there to stop her. And even if there was someone, Eren knew that they couldn't stop her.
Sera was the daughter of Mist who was the Overlord of the Southern Continent. She was still young and hadn't even awakened her mother's bloodline, but still she was very strong, simply because of her second bloodline.
"What could the Asura Sect have that caught your attention? Aren't the treasures and skills from the Eastern Continent useless for the people of the Southern Continent?"
Eren followed the girl inside the hall that led to the treasury of the Asura Sect.
Sera was quite taken aback as she heard Eren. "You knew where I was from?"
"I knew it from the moment I saw you fighting the Poison Dragon. You didn't use any Martial Skills. You only used raw strength that came from your bloodline. Did you really think I wouldn't notice?"
Sera didn't even realize that Eren had completely changed the direction of the conversation. He didn't tell her his name.
"You are an Elder from the Demon Sect. Shouldn't you be hating the people from the Southern Continent, especially Heroes?" Sera didn't understand why Eren helped her.
At first, she thought it was because he didn't know her identity and thought she was from the Eastern Continent as well. Now that she realized that it wasn't the case, the value of his help increased even more.
