Chapter 1006 No Way Out
Chapter 1006 No Way Out
Upon arriving outside the southern entrance of the local wall, the Spiritual Emperors found that place completely closed off, while many individuals were watching them from above the wall, within the protected area.
On the other hand, the Spiritual King who had accompanied them there and the other individuals in the vicinity began to distance themselves from those people, already knowing that things would not remain peaceful.
Realizing the situation, those individuals from the Flaming Empire laughed, looking at each other as they felt that those people were joking.
'Do they think this eggshell will stop us from entering?' The tall, muscular individual thought to himself, finding these people's futile attempts comical.
"What's going on here? Is something wrong?" Crispin looked in the direction of that Spiritual King from before and asked that.
Silence filled that area for a few moments as that individual broke into a cold sweat, fearing what these people might do.
"Eh... Well... It's a security procedure in our city."
"We don't allow Spiritual Emperors to enter." He said with difficulty.
"Oh? Is that true? Then why did you tell us you would take us to your leader? Did you lie to us?"
"No, I told the truth. The young master must be coming here by now, so sooner or later, he will be here where we are."
"In a way, I brought you to him."
"Tsk!"
"This guy likes to talk, huh?" One of the two women finally lost her patience, looking at that fellow with a cold stare. "Let's just go our own way!"
"If they have no zeal for their city, then we'll do them the favor of destroying those futile defenses!"
"Hehehe, that's what I was talking about!" The tall, muscular individual commented in animation. "Crispin, shall we?"
Their leader then smiled and looked in the direction of the Spiritual King from earlier. "We try to be kind to you, but you don't recognize your place and are making things difficult..."
After that, he looked in the direction of the pale-skinned man and said. "Eric, make him talk while we make our way to the hiding place of that fellow."
Upon hearing that, the Spiritual Emperor Crispin spoke to immediately ran towards that Spiritual King, ready to use his interrogation skills on that fellow.
"Damn!" The Spiritual King of one of Minos' subordinate families shouted in desperation, feeling that he was finished.
At the same time, the other regional experts in that area began to prepare to fight, intent on at least delaying that level 63 Spiritual Emperor from killing their buddy.
"Hahaha, you weaklings are truly something, huh?"
"Do you think you can hold your own against us? Hehe, how naive!"
As that individual began to act on the surroundings, his four companions flew towards the defensive dome, ready to destroy those defenses as if they were nothing to them.
As they did so, they all had smiles on their faces as they directed small parts of their strength into attacks in the form of giant hands.
With that, in a few seconds, they finally attacked some sections of that significant barrier, which by now was completely opaque due to the spiritual fluctuations of those people.
Pow!
Crack!
Giant cracks spread in the first instant of attack before those sections exploded into endless pieces, making room for that group to fly towards the dome's interior!
"Hahaha, those are the defenses they rely so heavily on?"
"Pathetic!"
"They didn't even give us a hard time to destroy it, to attack more than once, hahaha!"
"Hmm, but that's to be expected. After all, they're just bumpkins from the northern region, people who don't know who they're dealing with." One of the women in this group commented arrogantly, already observing the buildings of Dry City.
"Hehe, let's find the strongest..." Crispin was about to say that when suddenly his smile froze, and he felt a sudden urge to run away.
"Damn it!"
"Withdraw!" He said this in a panic as he felt the powerful aura of a level 69 Spiritual Emperor approaching where they were.
'Fuck! What's happening here? How is there someone so strong in this place?' He began to break into a cold sweat, feeling that he had made a grave mistake of underestimating this damn place.
On the other hand, he could not help but think about how that Spiritual King had deceived his group. 'Damn him! He lied to us!'
'He knew the whole time that such an expert was here, yet he acted as if he feared us!'
With that, each of those people began to fear the powerful mother of Minos, fleeing with everything they had while picking up their teleportation items.
"Unfortunately, we will have to abandon Eric..." One of them commented in terror.
"Too late!"
However, before they could do anything, Minos' mother appeared in front of them, already holding a space stabilization array.
"Humph!"
"Now that you are already here don't even think about running away!" She said this in an authoritative tone while using her cultivation pressure to make those people lose control over their flight.
Then, as Minos looked at her strangely, finding her action unnecessary, Maisie pushed them outside the wall, where her son could fight carefree.
Arriving at that place, unfortunately, both Maisie and Minos' group found six bodies in the surroundings. At the same time, one of those Spiritual Emperors had his hands soiled with blood.
That individual who had been left behind realized something strange was happening. But, suddenly, a tremendous spiritual pressure stopped him from running away, causing him to fall to his knees on the ground.
'What's going on?' He asked himself in terror, finding the sudden change in the situation unexpected.
He was dealing with the enemies in the surroundings, and then, boom, his companions suddenly appeared, falling into that place while a terrifying pressure hit him.
And looking at the expressions of his companions and Maisie, this man finally felt the terror they had gotten themselves into.
"Bastards!"
"They killed our subordinates!" One of Minos' soldiers shouted in hatred, seeing the bodies of the people who had accompanied the group of Spiritual Emperors there.
And as many people there looked at the five enemies and the dead in the surrounding area, Minos frowned, feeling that such a thing was unacceptable.
Had an enemy come to his house and killed his subordinates?
That was unacceptable!
He looked in the direction of those Spiritual Emperors for a moment, feeling hatred in his heart, something he did not usually feel for ordinary enemies.
Therefore, he soon made up his mind about the future. "I don't know where you people came from, but this action today will be returned in a few years..."
"I will make it a point to exterminate each of your families and sect!" He felt his heart beating harder while his muscles involuntarily contracted, making him feel much stronger.
After that was said, all of Minos' allies and subordinates felt the weight of his words, as this young man was indeed someone vengeful.
'Is he going to do that?' The patriarch of one of the families of those killed thought about it, already feeling some of what Minos' vengeful character meant to them, subordinates of the Black Plain.
Protection!
On the other hand, those Spiritual Emperors did not feel threatened by Minos since Maisie was the real threat there.
What could a mere Spiritual King do against organizations with Spiritual Saints?
However, while the situation was strange, with many people thinking different things, Maisie looked at her son with interest and asked. "Are you going to do this?"
"Of course!"
"Anyone who dares to act against my organization will face maximum consequences!" He said firmly.
"Good!"
"If that is the case, I will tell you who your enemies are." She pointed at those people and said. "They are members of the Saints Killing Sect."
"As for their families, well, I can't say, since none of those five are anyone of relevance in the empire..."
"Saints Killing Sect?" Minos repeated this, recording in his mind the name of enemies he should visit.
Not only had such an organization sent people in search of his head, but it had also eliminated some of his subordinates!
Minos could not forgive this!
He then looked once more at his mother and asked. "What were you doing, anyway? Didn't I say I could handle them on my own?"
Maisie laughed at his comment and opened her hands. "They were going to run away, so I ensured they stayed here..."
"However, I will not act against them and let your group do it on your way. What do you think?" She said this to the surprise of those Spiritual Emperors.
