"Buddy, your life is worth much more than that thing to you. But for us on the other hand, killing you or not makes no difference because all what we want is just that thing," said Prince Neal in a smiling tone, without a hint of rage in response to Soar's words.
"Ha-ha, but if I had to guess, the moment that thing leaves me, I will have to die," Soar replied, laughing.
"So since I am going to die sooner or later, I've decided to take something away from you. Let you feel what losing feels like."
As soon as he finished his sentence, he transfigured into a human form. He suddenly tore apart space and jumped into the Black Wind Abyss. Before Prince Neal and his companions could react, Soar leapt into the abyss.
Prince Neal's face fell as he realized what had just happened, while the other five were simply taken off-guard and left dumbstruck, not knowing how to react. How could they have been so careless enough to think that it would be that easy, that Soar would not give them any chance?
"Damn it all to hell!" said Prince Neal, cursing Soar in a hoarse scream, looking into the distance as he slipped from his grasp. He was so close.
"What should we do now, Prince Neal?" Elder Carlos asked, standing beside him.
"What else can we possibly do? We obviously can't enter the Black Wind Abyss. Let's just go back and inform my father of what transpired here," said Prince Neal coldly.
"Fortunately, there is a copy of that thing in our hand. Otherwise, I would not be able to answer to my father without him giving me a hard time about it."
"Prince Neal, it's all our fault, not yours. Please punish us!" said the four men in unison, fully comprehending the consequences the prince would have to face.
"This has nothing to do with you. Who would have thought that bastard would jump into the Black Wind Abyss, even without giving us the chance to talk to him?" said Prince Neal, waving his hand dismissively.
Prince Neal was a generous man with a broad view on the world. He was wise enough to comprehend the situation without prejudice. Since he couldn't take back anything from Soar, he couldn't blame his fellows either. He knew it was better to keep his rage contained to his own heart, such that he might win over the hearts of these four men.
As he expected, the four men no longer looked scared. Instead, they obviously began to pay obeisance to Prince Neal.
"By the way, the bastard goes by the
dless chaos, and chaos is the place where most holy beings fell. For some reason, the lands of legacy and the lands of cultivation of some holy beings are very likely to enter the Heavenly Void," Alva explained.
Pearl was startled to see Alva appear out of thin air. But, Ricky explained to her the reason why he suddenly appeared.
"Since the Divine Manor is the land of legacy of holy beings, you're very likely to attain the heritage of legendary holy beings," Ricky sighed. "Well, that explains why the Great Wisteria Dynasty dispatched six completed spiritual kings to hunt you down. Honestly, now I would not be really surprised, if they had dispatched sixteen completed spiritual kings after you!
But how did you come to know that?"
"When I came from the continents, I entered the territory of the Great Wisteria Dynasty. First of all, I practiced for a period of time. Then I found a newly formed Explosion Core in a void. There was a Sense of Realm in that Explosion Core," Soar replied calmly.
"Nevertheless, people from the Array Sect and the Great Wisteria Dynasty also found the newly formed Explosion Core. With Alva's help, I procured the Sense of Realm for myself. But the fact is that they were just not powerful enough to beat me.
But what we didn't expect is that there would be three white flags in the Explosion Core.
So each of the three white flags were obtained by each of the three parties. The moment we got them, the white flags immediately sent a message to us, telling us about the Divine Manor.
And that's why the people from the Great Wisteria Dynasty began hunting me down!"
