Is That A Wisp?

The city of Lakas is one of the few ones in the entire Dekalion Solar System that receives Cultivators and Demon Beasts from outside the Hakasha Galaxy. Because of that, the city itself was one of the biggest cities in the Eritel Planet.

With a population of over 50 million, the city range extended as far as the eye could see. But as a place inside the No Law Zone, the place was pretty much chaotic all day long. With the exception of the guards that prevented fights from destroying the city, anything else was pretty much valid. 

But even so, the city gave a certain feeling of stability. Maybe it was because fights couldn't happen inside the city, or perhaps it was because you would probably offend someone stronger than you. After all, if you fought in the middle of so many people and beasts, you are bound to hit someone you shouldn't. Whatever the reason was, this chaotic city never got to the point of going out of control.

Right in the middle of the city, an enormous teleport formation activated, and with a flash of silver light, thousands of Cultivators and Demon Beasts appeared at once. Somewhere in the middle of this batch, Krune's group could be found as well.

As soon as they appeared on the Formation, Krune and his group felt who knows how many Divine Senses passing through them at once. They spread their Divine Senses as well and soon found out that everyone was doing the same. It seemed like that Divine Senses were always active in this place. But they soon understood the reason. In a place where Laws have no meaning, it is up to each one to keep themselves safe. Having their Divine Sense active as long as possible is obviously a way to prevent problems.

That wasn't all. When Krune and the others looked around, they were taken aback.

That is because the number of Cultivators and Demon Beasts that appeared on the teleport formation was at least 4 to 5 times the number that teleported with them before.

Dilo noticed that and then explained it.

"Oh, it's just that many teleport formations are leading inside the Hakasha Galaxy, but there are few to receive them. Because of that, every single Teleport Formation has to receive several cultivators and demon beasts from several different places at once. They are all connected."

The only one who wasn't paying attention to anything was Heavin, who was in his own little world revising the Soul Techniques that Krune acquired for him.

Feifei looked at the teleport formation under her, and her eyes shined. She is a Formations Master, after all. She couldn't help but think just how complicated such formations had to be to receive several teleports at once.

'I had little time to practice formations back in the Elemental Sect planet. But this time, I'm going to take some time to finish reaching the Golden Stars level.'

Krune nodded and then said.

"Alright, let's go somewhere else to gather some information first."

"In that case, we should go to this city's Mission Hall. Usually, that is the best place for you to hear about the news by connecting to their local network. Inheritances, Tombs, Dimensional Realms, every time some of those appear, it would be posted there. There is also, of course, the missions from the Mission Hall itself."

Dilo suggested.

No one had any reason to refuse that idea, so they went straight there... or so they intended.

On their way, Krune's group passed by a commercial street with several booths and shops that sold almost everything you could imagine. If that was all, it was okay. Krune and the others could have simply ignored everything. If not for a commotion that was happened right in front.

"I said that this Jade Slip is mine! How the hell did you turn out to be its owner? If you want it, pay the price listed!"

"Pay the price your head! This is a Jade Slip that I lost on my way back to the city. Are you trying to buy a fight?"

"A city with over 50 million people and beasts and this Jade Slip just so happens to be the one you lost. Now then, isn't that such a nice coincidence?"

"Hey, punk. Are you going to hand over the Jade Slip or not? Do you really want to make enemies with the Lavara Family?"

When Krune and his group finally found space to see what was happening, they noticed that there was a small booth selling items. Also, Its owner was just a Peak Core Formation Realm demon beast in human form. 

In front of the booth, there was a group using matching clothes. It was obviously the Lavara Family that Krune and the others had heard on their way here.

Dilo then said to the others with Divine Sense.

"This is pretty common. You might not be allowed to start a fight in the city, but there are no rules about threatening someone. I don't know this Lavara Family, but their group leader is at the 9th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm, which isn't anything that impressive. They probably will tail this Core Formation guy later and get rid of him when the opportunity arises. In fact, that would probably happen even if he had handed over that Jade Slip straight away."

One must remember that jade Slips were old ways of stone information. Nowadays, in the technological world, they aren't used anymore.

Ruik couldn't help but ask.

"Is that jade slip something important?"

Dilo shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"I don't know, but there is nothing wrong with being safe. Check the price of the jade slip in the guy's booth."

Only then did Krune and the others look at it. Once they saw the price, they were shocked.

"100 thousand Rank 7 Spirit Stones?! He is crazy!"

Dilo nodded.

"Probably, he noticed that this jade slip that he found is from some big inheritance or something else. But his level is far from being enough to open it alone. He was probably expecting someone to buy it for this price so that he could make some money. After all, he wouldn't get anything from the inheritance itself once it is found."

Tiane then thought it to be strange.

"Why didn't he simply keep that jade slip a secret then? Once he reached a realm high enough, he could go there and try to open it by himself."

Dilo sighed and then replied.

"Who knows? First of all, no one can guarantee that that jade slip is real or not. Even if it is real, who said that the inheritance hasn't been taken already? In my eyes, it is definitely not worth it to pay 100 thousand Rank 7 Spirit Stones for it. It might not even be an inheritance in the first place. Maybe a Tomb or a Dimension Realm? I have no idea."

Krune then pointed out something.

"Doesn't it look like he is trying to catch the others' attention instead? I mean, such a ridiculous price would definitely attract a lot of eyes in a place like this."

Dilo nodded.

"That is also possible. He might instead want someone to open the inheritance for him. Or maybe he is in a group that will trap and kill the group that comes to the location in the Jade Slip, so he is trying to bait the biggest fish possible."

Krune and the others couldn't help but sigh. This isn't something that you can see outside the No Law Zones, after all. One had to think about all the possibilities before adventuring in something like that.

Krune and the others were just about to leave when suddenly, Krune felt that jade slip to look somewhat familiar.

"Hum...?"

Feifei noticed the change in Krune's expression.

"Is there something wrong?"

Krune nodded.

"Maybe."

Krune used his Divine Sense to check it and then looked at Ruik to ask.

"Ruik, doesn't that Jade Slip look like the ones we saw during our training in the Mohie Sect Branch Dimensional Realm? Take a look at the symbol on it."

Ruik was taken aback and then used his Divine Sense to check as well.

"Oh! You are right, that is indeed the symbol of the Mohie Sect. But how come something like that is here? Could it be a coincidence?"

Krune also thought about the same possibility. After all, the Mohie Sect was only at the level of the Big Four back in the Luvile Universe before being destroyed. They shouldn't have enough power to send anyone inside the Dalin Universe. So the only explanation is that someone used the same symbol here in the Dalin Universe.

Still, Krune felt that this coincidence was too much since both symbols are nearly identical. The only reason that Krune wasn't sure was that the one on that Jade Slip was dilapidated, so he couldn't make the outlines very well.

Krune wasn't the only one. Ruik spent a lot more time inside the Spatial Box, where they moved all the training things of the Mohie Sect branch. It just so happens that there were many jade slips with information about soul training there as well. Since Ruik was acting as the Rainbow Sect's Sect Master, he often dealt with those Jade Slips. Because of that, Ruik, too, thought that it wasn't simply a coincidence.

Ruik and Krune then looked at each and nodded.

"Shall we take it for ourselves?"

Both of them smiled and stepped forward.

"100 thousand Rank 7 Spirit Stones, we are taking it!"
