"Why should we continue to investigate at all? I am absolutely sure that he killed Louis and the others!" Nathan said through gritted teeth. The appearance of the Zachary's Holy Level maser threw him off. With this powerful warrior defending him, Nathan was worried that Zachary would escape unscathed. He had to speak up now to convict him on the spot without any further investigation.
"So what if he did kill Louis? He was a mere Sage Level warrior...a nobody," Tania said indifferently.
"How dare you!" Nathan uttered unbelievably. He could not say anything else; he was rendered speechless.
The crowd burst into whispers upon hearing Tania's arrogant claim. But in front of her powerful presence, no one dared to say anything against her.
"If the Kong Clan has any objection, I'm willing to fight against all of you in the name of the Dignified Supernal Sect," she added, casting a disdainful glance at Nathan.
The crowd fell into an eerie silence when Tania mentioned the Dignified Supernal Sect, a superior force to be reckoned with in the entire Supernal Continent. Rumor was that the sect was more than powerful to contend and win against all four martial colleges where talented elites gathered. Aside from that, in the past hundred years, the Dignified Supernal Sect had produced a great number of Sage Level warriors and Holy Level warriors. The sect was unique as it never admitted just any disciple; they chose only warriors who were above the Imperial Level. And not all Imperial Level warriors could enter the sect easily. Only elite ones received permission to become members of the sect after successfully undergoing a series of strenuous tests. For all these reasons, the Dignified Supernal Sect was deemed unimaginably stronger than the rest of them.
However, although the Dignified Supernal Sect was powerful beyond question, it kept a low profile at all times and rarely got involved in the disputes of the Supernal Continent, unless there was a major discord or event.
In fact, the Dignified Supernal Sect was not the only powerful sect in the Supernal Continent. Many such sects and forces existed secretly, staying out of usual business on the continent. Some of them were even unknown to the world.
And now, there was a Holy Level warrior from such a sect in Crane
dy is at its limit. If you had continued to act recklessly, you would have been crippled for life if you weren't dead already. Although there is a powerful spiritual soul sealed in your Holy Bone Bracer, the soul power is not something you can easily use. Here, take this pill." She took out a purple pill and handed it to Zachary. She knew him very well, and was aware that he often got into dire trouble. So, as soon as she had gotten the news, she had rushed over to lend him a hand.
Without saying a word, Zachary took the pill and swallowed it.
"So, tell me about this new clue," Tania said promptly.
"Oh, yes. Here it is." He showed her the green feather he had found. "This probably belongs to the Fighting Crane. We should go to the messenger of the Fighting Crane, the Godly Phoenix."
Tania nodded. She grabbed onto Zachary and they flew to the lair of the Godly Phoenix.
Before long, the two of them landed next to the lair.
At that moment, the Godly Phoenix was resting inside its lair. When it noticed their presence, it immediately raised its head vigilantly. Seeing that it was Zachary, it relaxed.
"I'll go inside and talk to it," Zachary said. Then, he walked into the lair and stopped in front of the Godly Phoenix.
"Mimi, activate the mutual communication system," he said.
Once Mimi activated the communication system, Zachary said to the Godly Phoenix, "I found the feather of the Fighting Crane. Check it out. This is the one!" He raised the green feather and showed it to the Godly Phoenix.
