Since Kennan had found Laquisha, he would simply take her away.
However, Laquisha refused to leave with him. Kennan soon found out that the crux of the problem ca from Zen. It was obvious that the Princess Royal still believed that flower vendor and thought that Zen could take her to the Soul Suppressing Cliff.
“Friend, I'm afraid that I'll have to ask you to go with us this ti,” Kennan said as he stared indifferently at Zen.
Last ti, Kennan had gotten too close to death because of the Formless Sky Python. His Wishing Spell hadn't been unlocked yet, until now.
While it was true that the Wishing Spell could greatly increase his strength in a short period of ti, he would have to realize the wish he had made if he used the technique. It also ant that if he couldn't kill the Formless Sky Python, then he'd be unable to use the Wishing Spell again. Moreover, he would have a flaw if he didn't realize his wish, which could be detrintal to him in the future.
Zen had only wanted to protect himself on that day, so he had kidnapped the Princess Royal and fled all the way to the Collapsing Mountain race. Kennan and the warriors with him naturally didn't know what to think of Zen--but now that they had found the Princess Royal, they would bring him back, too.
An authoritative air enveloped Kennan as he spoke to Zen.
“Why should I go back with you?” Zen asked with a faint smile. He had just got a firm foothold in the Collapsing Mountain race. There was no way he'd leave so easily.
Besides, Kennan wasn't Laquisha who actually had sothing to ask of him. Thus, he coldly shot back, “I'm afraid it isn't up for you to decide. Danyaal, Douglas, take him away!”
In his opinion, a secondary creature at the Spirit Supre Realm was not qualified to bargain with him.
Once Kennan was done speaking, the two martial arts practitioners behind him prepared to take Zen away.
But before the two of them could even move, a group of warriors from the Collapsing Mountain race suddenly appeared behind them. Their bulky bodies looked like small mountains as they surrounded the others, and they certainly did not look friendly.
Now that Zen was considered as the Collapsing Mountain race's distinguished guest and they had sothing to ask of him, how could they allow him to leave?
The Collapsing Mountain warriors looked quite intimidating that even though Kennan and the other warriors with him were world lords, they still felt a lot of pressure.
“Respected heroes of the Collapsing Mountain race, I am Pascal's subordinate, and on behalf of the master of our clan, I'd like to extend my thanks to you for taking good care of our Miss at your place,” Kennan said calmly while he cupped his hands.
An old man from the Collapsing Mountain race smiled faintly at him. “It seed that the Miss of your Han Clan has not yet submitted her trial tally, yet we still let her in. We have already shown our respect to Pascal by that!”
In return, Kennan gently flipped his arm and two purple jade symbols appeared in his hands. The jade symbols were shaped like small knives and flashed with a mysterious color.
The most important things in the Divine Refinent Forbidden Land were the trial tallies. All of the trial tallies were divided into five colors: black, purple, red, green, and white. They functioned both as the keys to the small and large sacred places for trial, and as the currency of the Divine Refinent Forbidden Land. Therefore, they could be circulated and traded.
The black trial tallies were ranked first and were the most difficult to obtain in the entire Divine Refinent Forbidden Land. The purple trial tallies were second and were the tickets used to enter the six sacred places for trial, so they were considered very valuable. Since Laquisha enjoyed a special status, she had purple trial tallies. anwhile, ordinary martial artists and even those who ca from the divine land would have to exert more effort to obtain a purple trial tally.
Just as Kennan had brought out the trial tallies, the old man from the Collapsing Mountain race raised his hand and stopped him. “No need. Pascal had made contributions to our race in the past, so there is no need for these purple trial tallies. However, you cannot take this human kid away,” he said.
“Why?” Kennan asked. His lips curved into a slight frown.
“Because this person is very important to our race,” the old man said flatly.
At that mont, Kennan looked at Zen in shock.
If his mory served him right, this man just ca to the Divine Refinent Forbidden Land quite recently…
It was known that it wasn't easy for the newcors in the Divine Refinent Forbidden Land to enter a sacred place for trial such as the Collapsing Mountain race. Not to ntion, Zen was only at the Spirit Supre Realm. It was all thanks to the Princess Royal that he was able to enter this place.
Was this man really that important to the Collapsing Mountain race?
Kennan found it truly hard to believe what the old man had said.
Although the mbers of the Collapsing Mountain race had always been unreasonable, they had one great rit—they never lied.
If they said that Zen was important to them, then it must be true.
Therefore, Kennan found himself in a difficult situation. The Princess Royal must be brought back, or else Kennan wouldn't be able to bear the wrath of the Holy Emperor.
Then again, it would be hard for them to convince the Princess Royal to go with them if they chose not to take Zen away. She was too stubborn.
Since she refused to go obediently with them, Kennan had no choice but to use force. Kennan turned his head and t Laquisha's eyes. The Holy Emperor had instructed them that if the Princess Royal beca too rebellious, they could forcefully bring her back for her safety. After all, her safety was the first priority.
Laquisha was extrely intelligent. She quickly guessed what Kennan was thinking and coldly said, “Kennan, I'll make sure you will result to nothing if you take away by force! And I an it!”
“This... Your Highness, please do not make things difficult for ,” Kennan said as he cupped his hands.
“It's you who are making things difficult for ! Rember, in the end, I am still the master and you are still a servant!” Laquisha shot back. She was truly afraid that Kennan would suddenly do sothing to seal her six senses and take her away by force. In that way, she wouldn't be able to resist at all.
Hesitation dawned on Kennan and the other world lords behind him at Laquisha's words. As servants, they had relied on the Han Clan's power to beco what they were today. However, they would encounter this kind of dilemma too many tis.
When Laquisha saw Kennan's conflicted expression, she smiled slightly and said, “Don't be so conflicted, Kennan. Believe this ti. I'm sure my hunch is right now!”
In turn, Kennan hesitated for a mont before he took out a few more purple trial tallies. “Since Your Highness wants to ss around like this, we have no other choice…” he said with a deep sigh.
There would be dire consequences if they went back without the Princess Royal. However, since she was determined to stay and follow Zen, they had to stay and accompany her, too. Thus, they had to waste of a few purple trial tallies.
anwhile, Zen didn't involve himself in the dispute since it didn't have to do much with him.
Laquisha had used the strange powerful fla to help Zen to refine his body, and Zen had agreed to help her in return. He would take her to the Soul Suppressing Cliff if there was a chance, even though he didn't know where that place was.
However, Zen had never forgotten that he had entered the Divine Refinent Forbidden Land for cultivation. His main goal was to beco stronger…
The sky turned an inky black and flas glittered in the darkness. Night fell, and the bonfires were set ablaze again.
Once again, Zen headed to the square and heartily filled his stomach up! The cultivation in the Collapsing Mountain race seed so simple and casual. The more they ate, the faster their strength would grow.
And so, Zen ate food that was thrice his weight almost every day!
Such an appetite was surprising for an ordinary martial artist. After all, the stomach had a limited capacity. In the Collapsing Mountain race however, it was necessary for warriors to use their own strength to digest as much of the food in their stomachs as possible in a short amount of ti.
Now, Zen's appetite was shocking compared to that of the martial artists from various races, but it still couldn't compare to that of the Collapsing Mountain warriors.
A child from the Collapsing Mountain race could devour at five tis what Zen could eat, while a full-grown Collapsing Mountain warrior could devour a al that was almost the sa size as a small mountain.
Their terrifying ability to digest food had resulted to their equally terrifying bodies and unimaginable strength. It was also the race's foundation to gain a foothold in this world.
On the other hand, Kennan and his group looked at each other in dismay when they saw that Zen was qualified to eat his als in front of the biggest bonfire in the square. If they rembered correctly, only Pascal had the right to eat here back then, and that was where the leader of the Collapsing Mountain race ate.
From this situation, it could be said that the Collapsing Mountain race did tell the truth. This Zen seed to be really important to them.
However, Kennan and his group were all focused on Laquisha. They clearly knew that the Calamity Dispelling Fragrance was extrely torturous, so they first needed to satisfy the Princess Royal's stomach.
However, they thought that although the food contained the at of strange beasts, it still wasn't qualified to be served to the Princess Royal. Then again, they couldn't find better dishes for her at the mont, so they had to settle for what was available.
“No!”
“Take it away!”
“Get out of here!”
Never would they expect that Laquisha would flat out refuse the exquisite pieces of at Kennan and the other warriors with him brought to her.
“But Your Highness, this Calamity Dispelling Fragrance can increase your appetite a hundred tis more than normal. Do you really not want to eat the food?” Kennan thought it was quite strange. He didn't believe that Laquisha could resist the hunger under the influence of the Calamity Dispelling Fragrance. Even he himself couldn't resist it, so let alone the Princess Royal.
“I will not eat it! You just have to take care of yourselves and leave alone!” Laquisha ordered coldly. Not too far away, the martial artists who lay on the ground began to cry as they heard her words.
They had dread of having a bite of so food for far too long. How could the woman waste such delicious food!
Kennan was confused, but the Princess Royal insisted on not eating. They had no choice but to retreat. They were even more confused at the mont. Could it be that the Princess Royal was really able to withstand the Calamity Dispelling Fragrance?
Not long after, Kennan saw Zen slowly moved over from the bonfire and took out chunks of at, tore them into pieces, and fed them to the Princess Royal. Only then did Kennan realize why the Princess Royal had refused to take the food brought to her by him and other warriors.
When Kennan's eyes landed on the Princess Royal's smiling face, he felt even more conflicted.
