Chapter 318: Being Observed
The Captain then looked at Krune and asked.
"You were the victor in this challenge, what do you want to do with him? Everything is valid, and no one can stop it. Of course, this guy's family might tail you later to get revenge, though. Anyway, it is up to you."
Krune looked at Lahain on the ground and then sighed.
"Boring..."
He then turned around and left with Ruik.
But before he could get far, he saw a white token flying in his direction. He looked at the Captain of the City Guards Group, puzzled after that.
"This is proof that you have already been challenged. For an entire month, no one can rechallenge you in this City. Of course, if you leave the city range, then you are on your own, and no one will stop or be punished if they attack you."
The Captain then gathered his subordinates and then left right after. As for Lahain, he was supported by his group members and brought away from this place.
Krune then asked Ruik how it was with his Dream Laws.
"Pretty much as I expected. If the opponent has not comprehended any Laws, they are very vulnerable to the Dream Laws. Of course, I was only able to hold him inside for so long because he didn't notice he was inside my Dream World. Also, it was obvious that he didn't know how to escape it either. If he did know, let alone over 4 minutes, I probably wouldn't be able to keep him there for even 20 seconds."
Krune nodded.
"Still, 20 seconds is several times more than what you need to finish off his unprotected body. Your main advantage is the fact that no one expects you to know the Dream Laws. So even if they have comprehended Laws, they will still be caught by surprise."
Ruik agreed with Krune.
"That's correct. Unfortunately, when I try to use my Dream World on you or the others, it takes too long to bring you guys inside the Dream World. That is because your own Laws will be on the way. As long as the opponent focus on gathering his Laws around his body in time, he won't fall into the Dream World either. Of course, even though they wouldn't fall inside the Dream World, my Dream Laws are still able to disrupt their perception, which is a great advantage in and of itself."
Krune pondered a bit and admitted.
"In the end, what counts most is whether you are prepared or not. That time when Feifei and I first entered your Dream World, we didn't know about the Dream Laws. It was exactly like you said, it took a few seconds before we both were dragged inside your Dream World where you and Taine were enjoying your time."
"Cough, cough. Leaving that matter between Tiane and me aside, it is precisely as you said. So I will probably be able to enjoy this advantage for a long time. Still, that Captain of the City Guards group that attended us knew that it was Dream Laws straight away."
Krune shrugged his shoulder and said.
"In that case, be careful to not fall for a feint. If you decide to attack the real body, make sure that your opponent is really trapped in your Dream World. If not, just use your Dream Laws to disrupt his perceptions and do your best to battle normally. Don't rush at him or her unprepared."
Ruik nodded and made a mental note about this risk.
After the two of them finished talking, Krune sent a Divine Sense message to Dilo and the others for them to keep some distance away from him and Ruik. Krune could tell with his Divine Sense that the show wasn't over yet. Still, because he just finished a challenge, no one could make a move on him for now.
The reason that Krune knew that was because he could feel some Divine Senses that were quite powerful watching him. The impressive thing was not that, though. It was the fact that those Divine Senses owners were also in the Divine Soul Realm.
It was then that Ruik sent him a Divine Sense message.
"It seems like that quite a few want to test their strength against you or me."
Krune nodded.
"Yes, I can tell that much. The Hakasha Galaxy is one of the No Law Zones, and I have no doubt that several geniuses came here to train as well. After our little display back there, it goes without saying that those geniuses would start paying attention to us."
Ruik sighed and commented.
"Anyway, are you going to take a look at the Jade Slip now?"
Only then did Krune remember the Jade Slip with the same symbol of the Mohie Sect. As mentioned before, Jade Slips aren't used nowadays anymore, so there was a change that this thing was the real deal.
Krune then put it against his forehead and used his soul power to read the contents.
"Let's see, let's see..."
After finishing reading its contents, Krune showed a weird expression.
Ruik noticed that and couldn't hold his curiosity.
"How is it?"
Krune then sent a Divine Sense message to Ruik and the rest of his group in the distance.
"It seems like the name in this Jade Slip is really Mohie. Still, it isn't Mohie Sect, but Mohie Clan."
Tiane, Dilo, Xankruan, and Feifei didn't know much about it, but Ruik and Krune knew it way too well. So Ruik was really shocked when Krune confirmed that it was a Jade Slip of the Mohie Sect, or better, Clan.
"Clan? Not Sect? What does that mean?"
Krune shook his head.
"I don't know. But as far as I can see, Mohie was supposed to simply be a name that the founder of the Mohie Sect used. Hasik had told us that the founder's family name was also Mohie, so there is probably a connection to it. But the thing that really caught my attention was the name of the person who created this Jade Slip. It is Mohie Zarks!"
Ruik was taken aback.
"Wait, THE Mohie Zarks? The Founder of the Mohie Sect in the Luvile Universe?"
Krune shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know if it is the same Mohie Zarks. After all, this Mohie Clan might be quite big as far as I know. So it could totally be someone else with the same name."
Krune then asked Feifei.
"Feifei, do you perhaps know anything about the Mohie Sect Founder?"
Feifei immediately replied.
"No, but the Wang Clan might have some information on it. Unfortunately, we have no way to contact them anymore."
Krune nodded. He was already expecting this much anyway.
Tiane then asked something else.
"So, what was this Jade Slip about anyway? Is there no other information inside?"
Krune answered.
"There is, it seems like this Jade Slip is one of an 18 Jade Slips set. It seems to have been left behind by a Cultivator who was part of the Mohie Clan tens of thousands of years ago. It also can explain why the symbol of the Mohie Sect, or Clan, is so dilapidated."
"It seems to be some kind of inheritance or whatever. Once all 18 are gathered, we can pinpoint the local of the heritage itself. Well, that is considering that this supposed inheritance hasn't been found yet by coincidence. Even if it hasn't, the fact that there is a need to gather the other 17 or so doesn't help much either."
It was then that Krune remembered something.
"Oh, right! Where is that Core Formation Realm Demon Beast that sold it to us?"
Krune then spread his Divine Sense and soon found him.
"Found him, he is walking to the Long Distance Teleport Formations. He is probably going to leave the Hakasha Galaxy now that he got enough Spirit Stones. A smart decision for someone with that cultivation. Let's go there, Ruik. As for Feifei and the others, just stay far away from us."
Krune wanted to ask that Demon Beast where he found this Jade Slip. Maybe, there would be more of them in the place where it was found. Also, just because it is a set of 18, it doesn't mean that he really needs all of them to find the secret behind it.
A few minutes later, Krune arrived at the Long Distance Teleport Formation. In the end, no one tried to challenge this guy. It was pretty evident that the consequences of losing weren't something that the others could take so easily. Not to mention that he is at the peak fo the Core Formation Realm, so chances are that he definitely can hold for those five minutes. After all, only those in the same realm can challenge him, higher realms are prohibited from doing so. Of course, this rule is only applied while you are staying inside the City.
Krune approached him and then asked.
"Hey there, I have a few questions for you, if you don't mind."
The Demon Beast recognized Krune and then laughed.
"Hey, look if it isn't my patron. Thanks for buying the Jade Slip. Still, I will tell it to you straight away, I won't give the Spirit Stones back."
Krune shook his head and said.
"There is no need, this Jade Slip just so happen to be something that I need, so I don't want to exchange it back. What I want to ask is where you found it."
The Demon Beast nodded and then replied.
"If that is the case, then there is no problem. I found it while my group was fighting against an ambush. It turned out that the other group underestimated our strength, and we reached a stalemate. In the end, quite a few died on our side, while others died on their side as well. Fortunately, our group ended up making a comeback, and we were successful in driving them away. I found that jade Slip in one of the Spatial Rings of the enemies' bodies."
Krune sighed after hearing that. That kind of information wasn't of any help at all. For the looks of it, this Jade Slip have been changing hands for a long time already. Who knows from where in the world it came. Worse than that. It might not have been found in this world to start with.
Krune then shook his head and said.
"Well, thank you for the information. By the way, what is your name?"
The Demon Beast nodded and said.
"You can call me Turin."
Not long after, the Teleport Formation activated, and Turin left the Hakasha Galaxy. As for Krune, he had to talk with the others about what they should do from now on.
