Liu Ji tried his hardest to hold his breath because if the man in front of him was currently asking then at that very moment he would die from the answer coming out of his mouth, even his hands to the point of shaking violently. Elder Shen Xuan looked at Liu Ji intently and began interrogating Liu Ji.
“What's your goal?”
“Finding the seal of the underworld, we were only given a mission to find the seal of the underworld in Puwro's Alas and seize it.” Liu Ji replied, closing his eyes in fear that the curse in his body would kill him. He opened his eyes slowly and how surprised it turned out that there was no reaction that showed any signs of curses within his body being active.
Rey who was curious about the conversation of the two people listened, because it seemed very interesting. He did not know at all about the underworld seal or anything like that, he had indeed lived in a different world but he had never known about the underworld or the seal, at all, I even heard it this time.
“What is your purpose of searching for the underworld seal?” Re-question Elder Shen Xuan.
“Do not know, because only the elders know the purpose of the leader, while we as subordinates only obey what the elders ordered.”
“Do you know that the seal of the underworld is the boundary between our world and the underworld? Don't you know what kind of creatures exist in the underworld? What do you think happens if the two worlds come together while our world and the underworld are completely opposite in any respect.” Elder Shen Xuan said in a cold tone. Seeing a girl who knew nothing looking for something that could make the world crumble made her angry, she was angry with what the elders were doing, she said, even he was desperate to kill their still mysterious leader.
Liu Ji flinched, he had no idea about the underworld at all, all he knew was that the elders gave him a mission by bringing in the previous crocoes to search for the seal of the underworld. Really he did not think that far because his mind was only guessing if their leader's goal was to conquer the entire territory of the Chen Empire alone and eradicate the white flow cultivators.
“A-I don't know if our leader has such a goal, I-I think the leader's goal is to fight white-flow Cultivators and conquer the entire territory of the Chen Empire, he said, I did not know at all that the seal of the underworld is something that can make the world destroyed.” Liu Ji said tremblingly, he knew nothing about the purpose of their leader, if he knew that the purpose of their leader could make the world destroyed surely he would refuse to seek the seal of the underworld.
Rey shook her head slowly, looking at the plain and stupid girl who was only being used for the benefit of her leader without knowing her purpose what made her want to berate Liu Ji with her max level bon chili mouth or at least twist her stupid head in order to die, he could not stand a fool.
“Who is your leader's name?”
“Do not know, we have never met or heard of him at all, all we know is his command is absolute.”
Elder Shen Xuan raised one eyebrow and said, “Where is the headquarters of the elders?”
“Don't know, because we were only given a mission through an intermediary, who knew the headquarters of the elder might just be the one who liaised the elders with us.”
Elder Shen Xuan sighed softly because in fact he did not obtain any important information from Liu Ji, but at least what his teacher said was true about the purpose of the black flow Cultivator searching for the underworld seal, what made him still curious was how the leader of the black flow Cultivator was able to find out about the underworld seal on Purwo Alas, maybe even the leader knew about the location of the seven underworld seals, just thinking about it made his head hurt.
‘Who is this leader of theirs? How could he know about the underworld seal?’ Elder Shen Xuan sighed softly, no matter who the person was he did not care but he was definitely a very strong and certainly very dangerous person.
Elder Shen Xuan was actually hesitant to pass on this news to Emperor Chen, as surely the military might of the Chen Empire would not be strong to deal with the entire Black-flow Cultivator whose strength was unknown to him, although there were other options such as asking a white flow Cultivator to help it was extremely difficult to do because the great Sects always had above average arrogance and arrogance, even they did not hesitate to refuse Emperor Chen's Decree.
According to him between the black and white flow Cultivators there was no difference, the white flow Cultivators were hostile towards the black flow Cultivators because they felt that the existence of the black flow Cultivators would dirty their chastity, if anyone were to say that the white flow Cultivators were fighting the black flow Cultivators because their cruelty was so wrong, then it was very wrong, because it was basically the saintly pretentious nature of the white flow Cultivator that was hated by the black flow Cultivator and ended up making the black flow Cultivator act vile to everyone who supported the white flow Cultivator even though it meant people it doesn't know anything.
But one thing was certain, the white flow Cultivators would not be able to deal with the black flow Cultivators if they did not lower their egos and ally into one.
“Hate between the two sides has been marred from generation to generation, division because of differences huh? Hm.. human nature is very unique,” muttered Elder Shen Xuan with a faint smile.
Rey approached Elder Shen Xuan and said, “What does it mean that there will be a war in a moment?”
Elder Shen Xuan flinched, he already knew that Rey had been listening since then but he did not expect that Rey could deduce all the things that existed and distort her to the facts that would happen next.
‘I've guessed this boy is very mysterious.’.
Rey was pensive, it seemed like her plan would really be delayed or perhaps never happen, because she would have difficulty dealing with the chaos that existed with very limited power, maybe even she could be killed. He could have fought some Kroco Cultivators of the Gold and Earth level, but it depends on the situation and circumstances, if the one he fought was a fool he would have easily won it, but if the one who is challenged is an experienced person, it will certainly be difficult to deal with it even most likely he will die.
‘5000 souls huh? I just got 42 souls. Ck, this damn dantian makes me miserable, how can I get that much soul before the chaos happens?’ Rey is confused about what to do to get 4958 souls, does she have to kill everyone she sees or the residents who are ordinary people? It was impossible for him to do that, because he only killed people who had problems with him, even though he was always looking for trouble first but all he was targeting was cultivators, while ordinary people did not belong at all unless they disturbed him.
“Hah, if my Death Sword were still there I would be able to easily absorb the souls of humans confined within it.”
Death Sword is a sword that can suck the soul of someone who is hit by a stab. The sword Rey found in an empty room enthroned in the Abyss world. The death sword has the same ability as Rey's soul-sucking style because it was the beginning where the Soul Sucking Force was created. In his previous life, the Spirit within the Death Sword had once negotiated with Rey, he said he would teach Rey the soul-sucking technique in exchange for sharing the soul that Rey sucked and not sucking Rey's soul instead.
Rey, who was interested, agreed to the offer. Unexpectedly, Rey was able to create her own soul-sucking style with the help of a death sword spirit within 60 years. That death sword spirit was actually just trying to utilize Rey to obtain the human soul by negotiating, instead, because the fact is that his soul-sucking technique is itself because he can suck the essence of life affected by the prick of his body (Medang) and it will not be understood or done other than himself. But who would have thought? It turns out that Rey can create her own soul-sucking style with ngawur words made by her to fool Rey and at that time she knows that Rey is the same owner in her past life.
The Death Sword was thrown as Rey tried to penetrate the upper world with the help of someone. Until now he had no knowledge of the whereabouts of his death sword and the person who helped him.
‘Last time yes.’ Rey smiled thinly. If you think back to the moments together with the Death Sword is the most beautiful memory because at that time he and the Death Sword became crazy partners until he got the nickname Emperor of Death in the Abyss world.
Looking at Rey who was smiling herself made Elder Shen Xuan make her sigh, in her heart said, “Basic strange boy.”
Elder Shen Xuan walked towards Liu Ji, unexpectedly he directly pulled Liu Ji's hand and took it with him without saying anything. The surprised Liu Ji said, “Where are you taking me?”
“To prison,” Elder Shen Xuan replied coldly.
Liu Ji only resigned, I don't know what to do when he found out he was from the Black Flow Cultivator, wanting to rebel but his strength was too far by the man who held him. Rey who was aware of his daydream was confused as Elder Shen Xuan and Liu Ji disappeared from her sight. Rey looked around her and found Elder Shen Xuan and Liu Ji walking away. With Rey quickly running after the two of them, the aimless Pegasus finally chooses to follow Rey from behind.
After arriving, Rey immediately dismissed the two men and said, “Where are you taking him?”
“Prison Empire.” Elder Shen Xuan replied as he pulled Liu Ji to walk past Rey.
“Liu Ji stop.. “ Rey said casually and immediately Liu Ji stopped, “Come,” Continue.
Seeing Liu Ji walking towards Rey obediently made Elder Shen Xuan sigh. He could have brought Liu Ji forcibly but what was the benefit? And also what could a small and innocent girl like Liu Ji do? Especially now that Liu Ji had been bound by the contract of master and slave by Rey. Elder Shen Xuan turned around and continued on his way regardless of Liu Ji at all, it puzzled Rey.
“Where are your goals?” Rey asked hard enough.
“Place your friends are,” Elder Shen Xuan replied without stopping at all.
Hearing Elder Shen Xuan's reply left Rey puzzled.
“Friends? Who's my friend?... Oh, they're what he meant. Hm.. Liu Ji follow me.”
Rey who understood the meaning of the words immediately ran after Elder Shen Xuan followed by Liu Ji behind him. Pegasus himself followed all of them without making a sound while eating his stone snacks solemnly.
