"Come here, come here." Krinn then summoned the Phoenix clan people who were standing quite a distance behind.
Because Krinn could easily hold them back, Krinn never binded and sealed their cultivation. From her catching them, he let them move on their own.
After hearing Krinn calling them, they immediately walked towards where Krinn and Alu were.
And they immediately saluted Alu after arriving in front of Alu.
"Young master." They said, bending over with their hands over their chest.
There was a little awkwardness in their tone. They, however, have absolutely no affinity for Alu. Even in the Phoenix kingdom, they had only seen Alu a few times and never had any direct interaction with him.
"All right, you three can go now." After they greeted him, Alu immediately told them to leave.
"Better the three of you move carefully. Here, there is someone who will slaughter you if you meet that person." Alu also warned.
The person Alu meant was naturally Elizabeth.
What Elizabeth really hates is probably just him and his father. But there is no doubt that Elizabeth will also kill the rest of the phoenix clan if they meet.
Even though Alu doesn't care about their life and death, Alu still doesn't want to see Elizabeth kill his clan members. In Alu's eyes, something like that could be a bad sign for him.
The people of the Phoenix clan clearly understood the person Alu meant. Before coming, Zaden had warned them. So they nodded without confusion when they heard Alu's words.
After that, they flew away from Krinn's group. They flew at full speed and disappeared in just a few breaths.
There was silence after the people from the Phoenix clan disappeared.
But that only lasted a moment.
"Yeah, what did I say earlier?" Krinn spoke again. He seemed to be trying to remember what he said last time.
"That's right. By now Jather is probably at the dragon gate. As you all know, the dragon gate is the entrance to the depths of the holy path." Jather continued.
"According to what I know, there may be around fifteen dragon gates on the entire holy path, and they are scattered in various places.
One of them is in the sea in front of us. Maybe besides us and Jather, there will be another strong group going to the dragon gate ahead of us.
But usually the holy path spreads the strongest people in different places, so the group that came to the dragon gate here shouldn't be that strong.
Well, they should be weaker than us, so there's no need to worry about them too much.
Our main focus is Jather.
As for the dragon gate, with the combined strength of all of us, I believe we can take control of the dragon gate. According to what I know, the dragon gate also provides a lot of extraordinary opportunities."
After Jather's words, the people started whispering with their small group.
Although the holy path has been entered many times by previous generations, there is always a difference every time the holy path is opened.
They discuss about dragon gate and wonder what kind of place it is.
As for the plan to kill Jather, they didn't think much of it.
Jather was probably very strong, and they knew that none of them could beat him. But with their number exceeding a hundred, they believed they could kill Jather.
Even without Krinn and Arlo's existence, there were still nine second-tier faction heirs. Each and every one of them are also very strong. Even if it was one on one, Jather would have taken a lot of effort to beat them.
As for fighting the nine of them, Jather would definitely cough up blood with defeat.
If they added up the heirs of the third tier faction and all the other Life and Death stage experts that numbered a hundred, they truly didn't believe Jather could run away with her life.
They even felt that their party was a little too much to care for one Jather.
Unfortunately, until now Krinn hasn't said why he did all that.
After gathering on the holy path, Krinn has already told his sect's aim to bring down the Holy Light clan to all those who don't know.
Still, they didn't think killing Jather was that important.
"Well, I actually want so badly to know what's so special about Jather that we have to kill him with such a large entourage."
When everyone was chatting among their own groups, someone suddenly asked what they wanted to ask.
They immediately stopped talking and looked at the person who asked. That person was of course Alu who was in front of Jather.
The people were a little surprised when they saw who was asking.
"Mm, right. I want to know too. Krinn, why don't you say it now?" The others then asked.
The one who asked this time was Arlo.
Seeing Arlo also asking, people started staring at Krinn.
Even though they didn't speak, their eyes wanted an answer from Krinn.
"Um."
Asked by many people, Krinn couldn't help but cough.
He smiled while scratching his head. He then said.
"Well, it's not like I don't want to tell you, but it's actually a little too difficult to explain. But it's as you think, killing Jather isn't the point of all this. You guys will find out later."
Krinn's answer which clearly didn't answer their question left people dissatisfied. Some people like second-tier faction heirs even snorted. They are not very polite towards Krinn.
"All right guys, there's no point in discussing that now. We'd better get going now. If it's too slow, Jather will probably occupy the dragon gates first. We'll have a hard time catching up to Jather if that's the case." Krinn spoke once again, stopping everyone from asking.
He also stared at Alu for a moment.
After which, he immediately flew towards the sea.
The people looked at each other and could only shake their heads. They then flew after Krinn.
ALU flies a little late because he tries to think about what Krinn said.
"What secret has Jather?" ALU wondered. Now Alu is wondering whether he should save Jather or just let him die to see what secrets he has.
"Mm." When Alu flew, Alu glanced sideways because he felt a gaze from beside him.
The person flying beside Alu was a black haired woman with a cold expression.
Alu recognized the woman because he had seen her when he first met Jather. She was Rena, an assassin from the Dark Moon clan.
"What is wrong?" Alu then asked when he saw Rena continued to stare at him.
Even though the woman looked very beautiful and attracted attention in the tight black sleeveless dress that she was wearing, Alu's expression remained cold when he faced her.
When Alu stared at her, the gray lips that seemed always tightly closed finally opened.
"You're very special...." Rena then said without taking her eyes off Alu's eyes. "I smell a very dense darkness from you."
Even though her mouth was open, she was actually speaking via voice transmission.
Alu "...."
Alu didn't like someone to know too much about him, so he immediately ignored her and sped up his flight. He left the woman several tens of meters behind.
However, when Alu left, he again heard Rena's voice. "I know you have a hidden plan. If you need help, you just need to ask me. As long as you pay a fair price, I don't mind fighting Krinn. Rest assured my strength will not disappoint."
This time, Alu immediately looked back. His eyes turned very cold as he stared at Rena.
Alu tries to suppress his killing intent as he is in the middle of Krinn's group.
But Rena was not affected by Alu's gaze. She remained expressionless.
She then spoke once more. "Sorry sir, we, the Assassins, are only offering our jobs."
She smiled slightly when she said that.
"Hmph..." Alu, in the end could only snort.
"I advise you to be more careful, miss." Alu then warned.
After that, Alu turned his gaze forward again and didn't pay attention to her anymore.
However, as Alu looked forward, he saw a red haired man slowing down his speed. In a moment, he finally flew hand in hand Alu.
"Is there something?" Alu then asked as he saw Arlo approaching hkm.
"Nothing, I just want to be closer to you." Arlo answered with a smile.
ALU doesn't know whether Arlo has bad intentions or not. But no matter what Arlo's intention was, Alu wouldn't change her intention towards him.
ALU ignored him after that. He knew Arlo wanted to investigate. But Alu wasn't worried. With Arlo's strength, even if he was much stronger, he wouldn't be able to feel anything from Alu.
Not to mention Arlo, even Zaden, an expert in the power of fire and also a seventh layer of Nirvana, wouldn't be able to investigate Alu if Alu chose to hide his aura.
And Alu was sure that even a much stronger fire power expert wouldn't be able to sense the privilege of its power if he chose to hide it.
Of course, even if they could feel it, they still wouldn't know what it was.
