The Chaos Dragon Prince

Chapter 902 No Other Options

The demoness barely glanced at Qiao Xue's group. She only said to them, "You kill us without a thought. And we will kill you without a thought. There will come a time when those so-called great heroes of the cities are all killed without any mercy!"

As she coldly declared, the demoness swung her radiant black sword at light speed. No inferior Dao power could resist the presence of her sword. 

Qiao Xue and his group were completely frozen, truly helpless against this superior force. 

The black sword light spewing from the tip swallowed all light across the land. It's slicing power effortlessly slashed through everyone in Qiao Xue's group. 

Qiao Xue and his group members' bodies completely stiffened for a moment. Their fearful expressions instantly turned dull, any light leaving their eyes in a split second. 

Bloody lines rapidly spread all across their bodies. They pulsated only once before completely bursting apart in a horrific mess of gory blood chucks and organs! 

Neither Holy Kings nor a powerful Middle Stage Primal Sovereign could resist this woman. 

It was only natural. Cain sensed that this demoness actually had a genius Peak Stage Primal Sovereign cultivation. 

And not just any run-of-the-mill Peak Stage prowess. Her Dao Principles were faintly denser than that of the Supreme Emperors and possibly equal to the Supreme Monarchs of the geniuses of the top three Inner Ridge sects. 

An unfathomable genius like this had the right to command the rain and storm, using a swipe of her hand to decide anyone's life or death. 

No reactions crossed onto Cain's group faces. Only Kali looked into the demoness's eyes with a faint smirk of her own behind her mask. 

"You three..." The demoness and her group narrowed their eyes onto the trio. 

It was already suspicious that they didn't try to help Qiao Xue's group, now it got more strange when seeing that the trio were using masks to cover their identities. 

In the brutal world of cultivation, more often than not when cultivators use masks, it's to get them out of a difficult situation. 

The demoness coldly snorted. Her gleaming black sword dominated the world, unleashing waves of essence energy that would suppress anyone below Peak Stage Primal Sovereign.

She coldly spat out, "State your intentions and we may let you live." 

"Hehe~! I love it when they do this!" Kali cheerfully laughed. 

She raised her hand, not all affected by the swirling sword Dao principles, and gleamed a terrifying icy light at her fingertips. 

Everything instantly froze. The swirling sword Dao principles froze, ice spread across the net of essence energy around them at light speeds, the demoness and her group's eyes widened to an unfathomable degree, feeling an all-powerful cold shred into their bodies. 

They wanted to surge their Inner Worlds. But the ice slowed down everything about them. Even if they could move, it would be useless. 

Kali snapped her fingers at light speed. 

'Chi!' 

The net of essence energy instantly shattered into small chunks of ice. All sword Dao principles cracked apart into tiny light particles. 

The demoness and her group were instantly engulfed in unbreakable cases of divine ice! 

Even the middle-grade Saint Sword that radiated world-destroying power could not break out of the divine ice. 

"Ah-" The demoness and her group struggle to even make a noise. The ice was far too much, they were losing all sensations across their entire beings. 

Death was merely an inch away from them! 

Right at that moment, Kali snapped her fingers again. The ice on the demoness group vanished, and even the invading essence energy cleared away. 

They all were free. But the demoness and group violently shivered, their faces utterly drained of any color. 

Fear was the only thing left in their gaze when staring at the tiro now. No doubt that if one of them could raise their hands to nearly kill them, the other two had their own equally heaven-defying abilities. 

They came to quickly realize that the reason they could barely detect their Inner Worlds wasn't that they were using items to conceal it, but rather their Dao principles were nearly incomprehensible to them! 

Still, in this situation where they can die at a moment's notice, the demoness group forced themselves to stay calm. 

They forced past their cold and fear, deeply bowing their heads at Cain's group as the demoness respectfully said, "We are deeply sorry for troubling sir and misses. We hope we didn't offend any one of you." 

"Hmm~." Kali hums with amusement, evident in playing around in this situation. 

However, a look from Cain froze Kali in her tracks, forcing her to just shrug and roll her eyes. 

Cain looked back over to the demoness, directly asking her, "From what I can gather, you all must be from that Basilisk City, correct? We just recently arrived here through unorthodox means so we have no idea what this region is, nor will anyone know who we are."

"That means you entirely new?" The demoness slowly looked up. She bit her lip a bit, considering her words very carefully, and then said, "Then it will be quite troublesome to leave this region. For hundreds of thousands of miles, this entire region is completely dominated by the Great Marvel City. This city dictates everything, what sect is built up, who can leave, who can enter...how we should behave. Where we are specifically is one of the worst places you can end up in. Right here is the most hated territory of Great Marvel City, where all criminals end up in. But it's only by going through Basilisk City that can you make it to Great Marvel City. If you try to go in now alone, without any support, Great Marvel City will treat you as a heinous criminal and will have you either in the luckiest cases killed or worse crippled and turn into a specific slave." 

"I see...and given that this is the Soul-Core Region, this city has Demi-Gods in their ranks?" Cain calmly asked. 

The demoness gave a big sigh, all of her exhaustion over everything spewed through her tone. "Indeed. Possibly, there is one or maybe even two True Divinity as one of the ancestors, but nobody knows for sure. Either way, their force isn't something that any lone Perfection Heavenly Venerate can go against." 

At this point, the demoness chewed on her lips. She gripped her palms, gathering all of her courage to say, "But sir and misses are extremely talented. Great Marvel City is very rigid to any outsiders, it's more than likely you'll be captured and enslaved if you were to show such high talent. However, if you were to come with us back to Basilisk City, you can prove your loyalty and pave a way to end up in the Duke Palace, thereby letting you leave this region with ease and have the backing of Demi-Gods." 

Her words hang in the air for a moment. 

Naturally, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na were highly suspicious of anyone else outside of their group. But their current options weren't all that high. 

Even if they could get away from Great Marvel City before the Demi-Gods show up, it would be an extremely narrow escape. 

A Demi-God reaction speed is thousands of times greater than even the most powerful Perfection Heavenly Venerate. 

A successful escape wouldn't mean much in any case. 

The Soul Core Region is something completely unfamiliar to them. They could end up in a place where they'll die without even knowing how or get captured by divine cultivators with extremely strange Dao principles. 

There is also the fact that the Grand Four Sects of the entire Heaven are hounding for their lives without any rest. 

Cain did not want to become so reliant on his Chaos Energy principles that he started making ridiculous mistakes. Thus, with only a brief look shared between each other, the trio knew what they had to do. 

Cain stared into the demoness's eyes, directly asking, "Just who are you really? Say that we agree to go, what can you provide for us?" 

"Ah." The demoness eyes faintly glittered. "My name is Lan Kui. And my parents actually have a high standing on the City's Venerate Council. They are also close with the ancient elders and thus have connections that can quickly settle you three high into their ranks at ease. Would this be acceptable?" 

For a brief moment, Cain expanded his Chaos Soul Sense for any fluctuation within Lan Kui. But she was not lying to them to ensure them inside. 

Lying wouldn't bring Lan Kui any benefits in the first place, but Cain wanted to be sure. 

"That would be acceptable. Lead the way." Cain nodded. 

"Excellent! With your talents, I am sure sir and misses won't stay long at all here." Lan Kui eagerly spoke. 

She obviously has hidden agendas that the trio could see through. But as long as they get further to their goal of finding out more information, the trio does not care.
