Chapter 939 Leaving The City
Chapter 939 Leaving The City
One month went by in a flash.
Grey finally left his room for the first time since he came back.
He was a little surprised to see Void hanging around. Given Void’s love for chaos, he thought he would be somewhere causing havoc.
“You’re done, good! Let’s go.” Void urged.
Grey raised a brow to look at Void, “What did you do?”
The fact that Void told him they should leave so soon showed that he was either bored here, or he was in trouble and wanted to leave as soon as possible.
“Nothing, I’m bored. There’s nothing fun around here.” Void replied coolly.
“Oh, do you know why the Elemental Venerables and Sovereigns have been moving out frequently?” Grey asked.
Even though he was in seclusion, he didn’t forget to keep an eye out on things. This was a stronghold in war afterall, if the enemy broke in, he would need to leave as soon as possible.
“Nope. But since the last battle, they’ve been moving around more lately. I think those from the other side are somewhat agitated.” Void replied after some time.
Grey squinted his eyes to look in the direction of the camp, “We should leave.”
He didn’t know why these people were agitated, nor did he want to know. It was above his level. He was only in the Sage Plane, he hadn’t even gotten to the Peak yet, so it would only be him courting death if he were to involve himself in this matter.
Void nodded happily and walked away with him.
Just as they were about to step out, Void suddenly vanished.
Grey paused, ‘What?’
‘I forgot something, go ahead without me.’ Void’s voice rang in his head.
Grey didn’t think too much about it and walked away.
When he stepped out of the Inn, the City was still the same, but he noticed guards were moving around.
After walking for some time, he saw a poster, on it was a black small cat. The description of the fit perfectly fit a certain someone that had been with him for years now.
Grey finally understood why Void didn’t come out with him, he must’ve sensed the guards and went into hiding.
‘That guy, what did he do now?’ He couldn’t help but complain.
However, he continued walking. Void’s actions had nothing to do with him so he wasn’t too bothered with it. All he wanted to do now was to leave this place and try out his newly improved technique.
He wanted to use the help of arrays to extract the life force of the Elementalists and use them to wipe off the mark. From the start, he wasn’t too confident, but now, he felt there was a bit of a chance that he could really wipe off the mark.
While he was focused thinking about how to remove the mark, he suddenly felt something in his ring.
Bringing it out, it was a message from his Teacher. His Teacher had been in the Aurora Continent for around two weeks now.
Grey was a little ecstatic, but when he found out his Teacher was in another Continent, he couldn’t help but shake his head. There was no way he could meet up with his Teacher with his current speed.
Not just that, but he couldn’t afford to sidetrack at the moment, the time for the competition for Sylvia’s family was almost up, he had just over six months or so, he had to get there as soon as possible.
On his way out of the City, he encountered the general who was at the Peak of the Sage Plane.
“Young friend, you’re still here?” The general asked.
“Yes, but I’m on my way out.” Grey replied with a nod.
“Be safe out there. From what I heard, those guys from the other side are searching for something and they’re stopping everyone outside the city.” The general warned.
“Oh, by chance do you know what they’re searching for?” Grey asked.
Moving out now was a little risky since he had to face the risk of being attacked by those Elemental Venerables or even Sovereigns. However, he didn’t think they would attack him so wantonly. At most, they would only question him.
After leaving the city, he waited on the side. Void soon appeared on his shoulder.
“I got it, let’s go.” Void said with a calm expression.
“What did you do when I was in seclusion?” Grey grabbed him before he could escape.
“Nothing, I only got some recipes for you.” Void replied with a wronged expression.
He thought Grey would praise him for his hard work, but Grey was handling him in such a rough manner.
“Recipes?” Grey paused.
Void went on to tell him all that happened, of course he excluded some parts, but Grey got the general gist from him.
Grey shook his head and started to leave the place. As long as Void didn’t kill anyone, it wasn’t really a big issue. The only reason these people were hunting for him was because he was causing unrest in the already agitated city, if not, they wouldn’t even be bothered with a thieving cat.
They continued on their way, this was the main part of the Region where the war was the most intense. As long as they left the city, they would go into a relatively safer part of the Region and they could start using teleportation arrays once again.
…
Three thousand kilometers away from the city.
Grey and Void stopped as there was an ongoing battle in front of them. From what they could tell, it was between people above the Sage Plane.
The thought of watching came to Grey’s head, but when he recalled what happened to him the last time he watched high ranks battles, he couldn’t help but shirk away.
He would just maneuver through the side.
As he was turning around, he heard the voices of the people. Even though they were hundreds of meters away from him, he still heard them clearly.
“I already told you I don’t have it. Why don’t you ask that incompetent moron who couldn’t keep it safe?”
