Chapter 371: Amu's Shocking Discovery, Trouble Brewing
'I wonder how are they doing?' Maleina smilingly wondered as the trio arrived in a space bubble with chaotic space outside after entering the portal.
'We'll see them soon,' Lily grinned. 'I'm getting excited, lady Lilith.'
Lilith smiled, her eyes showing anticipation, eagerness, and excitement as well.
The trio saw the scenery changing before them in rapid lights for a couple of seconds before it stopped. They saw a desert with a sandstorm out of an oval-shaped portal before them. Their exit was ready. Explore more at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net
The trio emerged from the portal that appeared on the desert, successfully marking their presence on Earth.
"So how do we find them?"
"I'll have to expand my spirit field to the maximum so I can capture their presence or they recognize my spirit presence from my spirit field," Lilith said, getting thrilled and eager to find Erix, Rin, and Aria, and meet people they know here.
"We'll find them soon once we encounter some natives," Lily grinned.
Maleina nodded, "Erix said they are in Phoenix City of Central continent, so if we ask some people, they can give us a general direction."
…
'Hmm? That spirit presence felt familiar. It was very big and had an attribute of awakened spirit power…'
Amu sensed a familiar spirit presence passing by, but it went fast and Amu couldn't afford to expose itself, so the slime stayed silent in its spiritual form that had essentially hacked the barrier of the Rek'Lo Zerian clan.
Amu's focus went back to its mission.
'They are talking about the formation. Humph, I knew it was a malicious one,' Amu thought while watching the meeting room of the clan.
In the meeting room, the elder Zerian demons, two Empyrean-order, and a bunch of Royal-order sat while their young clan lord—Leiro, sat with a blank expression, unable to direct any decisions.
"Elders, we have finally prepared tools and resources for the Rekkart Devour formation and can enact it anytime."
"We only have a single chance, so we must choose carefully. If we fail, we won't be able to create another Rekkart Devour formation."
"To make it worthwhile, we'll need the sacrifice of at least 10,000 people, but for an ideal situation, 20,000 people is best. The stronger they are, the better."
"About the Blue Maw Pirate kingdom's deal, we are supposed to activate the signal stone in exchange for the resources they gave. Since we finished the formation, shouldn't we contact them?"
"We can also do that after we finish using Rekkart Devour formation properly."
Leiro's eyes shook. 'This is wrong.'
"Elders," Leiro spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
"What is it, young lord?"
"We can still grow without risks by following the proper steps here," Leiro said while clenching his fists. "We should not trust that Blue Maw pirate kingdom."
"There's no other choice," the first elder said. The tall bald Zerian demon elder sighed and added, "Young lord. This is how Blue Maw Pirate Kingdom works. They gave resources to multiple clans because they knew one of them would be picked up by Mystic Root and get sent to a newly progressing planet under it."
"We happened to be that clan, so we have to follow their instructions. We accepted their help because we didn't want your father and mother's sacrifice to go to waste."
"You must understand, young lord."
"We can't think about others when our own people's survival is at stacks. For our glory to return, we have to do this to get stronger and return back to our ancestral place."
"Yes, young lord. If we betray Blue Maw, they'll eventually find us and when that happens, we won't be strong enough to survive their punishment for breaking the deal."
Everyone started speaking in support of their main plan. Nobody wanted to take the slow way and listen to Leiro.
His eyes once again dimmed and he didn't say anything.
Meanwhile, Amu was confused.
'What the hell are they talking about? I thought they just built that malicious formation to boost their power with sacrifices, but they are cooking something else too?'
Amu scratched its imaginary butt. 'Blue Maw pirate kingdom? What's that? Why do they want to come here?'
'Whatever. I should return first and give them information. Since I've marked this clan's barrier, I can find its location no matter how much they travel around,' Anu snickered and silently left just as it silently infiltrated.
Amu left the clan's territory from underground and emerged above amidst a sandstorm. 'Humph, do they think moving their clan territory constantly under a sandstorm will prevent others from finding them?'
Amu was angry and flew towards the Phoenix City.
Meanwhile, Lilith went in another direction, to the East instead of North, and missing Phoenix City by a large error.
They crossed an ocean and arrived on the Western continent.
Lilith's speed was fast and her spirit sense's range was massive, so it wasn't long before they encountered a Sanctuary Area and descended.
The moment they entered, Lilith, Lily, and Maleina felt an irresistible mark placed upon them like everyone who enters a Sanctuary Area.
"I think this is some sort of safe area," Lilith said and snapped her finger, conjuring a dark red flaming orb between Lily and Maleina that exploded immediately.
"Attacking others won't work here," Lilith smiled while Lily and Maleina were startled at the sudden explosion.
However, they were surprised to find that Lilith's attack did nothing to them.
"Who are you?"
Naturally, it wasn't long before the powerhouses in the Sanctuary Area approached them.
The leader was a brown-skinned muscular man with a ponytail and 6'1 feet of height—Leader of the Asura Fang guild, Kai Blake—ranked 14th in the World Leader with 62k Power Level. He rose fast in the past twenty days, showing his talent and entering in the top 15 from the top 50.
'Such a strong presence…' Kai looked at Lilith with furrowed brows. 'Two humans and one demoness?'
"We want to know the general direction of Phoenix city situated in the Central continent. We'll be on our way if you can point that out," Maleina stepped forward and politely said with a smile.
'Phoenix City? It's that crazy couple's place,' Kai was surprised.
