Chapter 1342: Conspiracy
The mission in Ember City ended in great success, not only did they manage to capture Bael alive but they also managed to detect the underground Guild’s attempt to infiltrate Harland involving ’Unfortunately’ their own government and the World Guild Association.
From Simon J. Weathon they learned that he had signed several work permits from several companies that were most likely infiltrated by their enemies therefore Fredhardt and Fargo immediately compiled a list of which companies were on the watch list and Avalanched Guild was placed on the first list.
Lory was on her way home while carrying a few kilograms of Zerenium she took from the mine as a souvenir for Zhao Li Xin when she found out that Zhao Li Xin was not in the palace.
This was because a few days ago after spending his time in the spatial ring she felt that his progress was not fast enough, while the creature inside Lucas’ body was slowly recovering.
That being the case, Zhao Li Xin realized he didn’t have much time left, thus if he wanted to completely destroy the creature inside Lucas’ body, he had to reach the sovereign level as soon as possible.
Sadly,this is impossible because in the past it took almost a decade for Zhao Li Xin to reach that level. Although one could argue that it was because his body was plagued with a deadly poison that caused his cultivation to stall, however, the chances of him reaching Sovereign level in just a few months even with the help of the spatial ring were still zero.
But this world gives him an ability that he didn’t possess in this old world which is the ability to absorb Fire essence mana and turn it into power that could speed up his cultivation.
Therefore, Zhao Li Xin came to Fargo to asked the location of the powerful fire beast, the stronger the beast the better for him.
At first, Fargo did not agree because he was worried about Zhao Li Xin’s safety. He also did not want to be the one to receive Lory’s wrath if something happened to Zhao Li Xin. Until they sparred for a few rounds, and the results showed that Zhao Li Xin was more than capable of protecting himself.
Fargo seemed to be taken by Zhao Li Xin’s power, plus he was also curious about how Zhao Li Xin could absorb the fire essence from the beast, so to satisfy his curiosity he offered to take Zhao Li Xin to the location.
Lory who had just returned home was utterly disappointed when she didn’t find her husband in the Palace, "Where’s my husband?!" Lory stormed into Fredhardt’s office.
