Chapter 454
Before setting out with Zhuge Sa to find the Zhurong Clan, I decided to first check over the items I had on hand. With the barrier around Huo Yao now lifted, I could retrieve it at any moment, and there was no one who could beat me to it all the way out in that remote corner of the southern continent.
As I rummaged through my treasures one by one, Zhuge Sa watched closely before speaking up.
"Baek Woong. Even if you could use these, there's nothing here I'd find useful."
I stared at him in disbelief.
"What? Aren't these your treasures? What are you talking about all of a sudden?"
Zhuge Sa clicked his tongue.
"Have you forgotten the abilities of the Zhurong Clan? They're one of the [Great Races], possessing mental powers stronger than any intelligent being. They can even read telepathic transmissions."
"Oh."
"For some reason, your mental defenses are high enough that they can't read you easily, but a human sorcerer like me is different. Standing before them would mean every thought laid bare, and if they wished it, I'd be under mental domination."
