The leader of the Assasins was still looking for the targets when suddenly, he got a message. Different from Krune and the others who couldn't communicate, those guys had brought special spiritual equipment that allowed them to talk to each other.

"What is it, Angil? Did you find them?"

The equipment could only transmit voice, so the leader couldn't see the person or demon beast on the other side.

"I found three of those mentioned in the information, but I almost died when I attacked. The three of them were, in fact, Divine Soul Realm cultivators or had a Treasure that allowed them to battle at that level. In the end, I received some severe injuries and had to use the blood escaping technique. Lanis, be careful of the Rasie Clan kids. They are not simple."

Lanis was the name of the leader of the assassins this time.

"Are you able to continue the mission?"

Angil immediately answered.

"No, the blood escaping technique plus the injuries had deeply affected my foundation. Let alone fight against another Divine Soul Realm, even some early-stage Core Formation demon beasts would have me running away at the moment."

Lanis took a deep breath and answered.

"Anyway, it is good that you gave us the information. I will send your message to the others. Did you leave behind any clues?"

"Yes, I had to use a lot of my best skills, so they might be able to at least tell from where I came once they are outside."

"Very well, I believe you know what to do."

Angil's voice, on the other side, went silent for a moment and then replied.

"Yes, I know."

Lanis and Angil finished their call. Whether the mission was a success or not, that would be the last time they talked with each other.

Lanis then sent the information to the other three and told them to not meddle with the Rasie Clan ones for the time being. They should spend their efforts on Feifei only if possible.

Krune and Feifei had been moving to the Inner Core region while fighting a few times on the way. With their own unique traits, they didn't have much difficulty in dealing with the beasts. So far, the most dangerous encounter was still with the swarm of three-horned beetles.

They even bumped on an Early Stage Divine Soul Realm demon beast. But with Feifei's improved Destiny Core, it wasn't too hard for them to escape. Not to mention that Krune's speed wasn't any lower than the enemy's.

Another week passed, and they got a few materials and herbs, just like the other disciples of the Divine Path Sect. Feifei then decided to leave them all with Krune. For her, those things didn't have much value, different from Krune, who still had to follow the Sect Rules.

When both of them were finally approaching the Inner Core Region, Light Spirit called Krune out.

"A Divine Soul Realm Divine Sense just passed through you. I also can feel that the owner is approaching your location at high speeds. Wait, the guy stopped."

Krune immediately stopped as well and warned Feifei.

Feifei was impressed that Krune was able to feel a Divine Sense that even she with her cultivation couldn't. Still, she believed Krune, so she was also put on guard.

They had finally encountered one of the assassins that were pursuing Feifei. When the assassin noticed her, he informed the other three, including the leader.

"Found Feifei, come to this location."

The assassin was planning to use a snake attack, but he didn't expect that Krune and Feifei would stop the moment his Divine Sense passed through them. With his cultivation, they shouldn't have been able to feel it, after all. Because of that, he decided to call for his companions first and keep Feifei under his watch.

Krune was waiting for Light Spirit's answer about the enemy.

"Weird, he stopped and isn't moving at all, could it be that he isn't here for you two? Try to move a few kilometers ahead first."

Krune immediately did as Light Spirit said, and they kept moving ahead for a little longer. As expected, the enemy also followed them but kept his distance.

"He is still there, but he isn't approaching. I can't tell which stage of the Divine Soul Realm he is, but from the speed that he was moving at first when he saw you two, I would say he is at least in the middle stages. Someone like him shouldn't be afraid of you two, which means..."

Krune and Light Spirit immediately understood what that meant.

"Not good, he is probably waiting for reinforcements."

That could be the only answer since the enemy noticed that an ambush wouldn't work anymore.

Krune then told Feifei his conclusion and immediately went back to his wisp form.

When the assassin noticed Krune's real form, he finally understood.

"So, that's Lucio's disciple like the information said. Why would someone take a wisp as a disciple, and a colorful one at that?"

For a second, there was disdain on his face, but it was really for a second only. That's because, in the next one, the disdain was swapped by surprise, and then disbelief!

Krune could already use Tribulation Lightning at 80% in his wisp form as soon as he entered the Core Formation Realm. He is now at the 4th stage of the same realm, which turned it even easier for him. Considering that a Divine Soul Realm was waiting for reinforcements, it is evident that they would also be in the same cultivation realm. Krune couldn't possibly allow them to surround him and Feifei. In the end, there was only one answer to this situation: Flee!

"Tribulation Lightning Movement, 100%!"

Krune grabbed Feifei with his Spiritual Energy and dashed away in a flash of purple light!

Although it was easier to use the Tribulation Lightning Movement at the 4th stage of the Core Formation Realm, it didn't mean that Krune could control it at 100% output. Still, Krune was confident that 90% would definitely be possible. As for 100%, although it would cause some damage to his Core, it wouldn't be anything serious as long as he doesn't use it for too long.

The result was that Krune now was moving faster than the enemy could even follow!

The assassin noticed it with his Divine Sense, and his face got even uglier.

"Fuck!"

This realm is enormous, so his companions would take a long time to arrive even at full speed! The guy started to ponder if he should use a forbidden technique to catch up with Krune. But after what he heart about Angil's situation, he hesitated. If Krune and Feifei had a way of communication and were moving in the Rasie Clan disciples direction, then he might be throwing himself into the tiger's mouth.

Of course, although Krune was faster than the Divine Soul Realm guy, it wasn't by much. The difference in the cultivation level was too high, and he was also carrying Feifei with him. But Feifei wasn't just sitting there doing nothing. From the moment that the Divine Soul Realm guy appeared, she started to use her Destiny Core to calculate a safe route. A route that wouldn't end up bumping on that guy's companions or other things that might delay them! That was also why Krune had no worries about the places he was passing by.

When Feifei finally calculated the best path, she started to smile.

"What about we give that guy a few friends to play with?"

Krune heard that and laughed inside. He totally understood what Feifei was about to do.

Feifei then guided Krune through some routes where demon beasts were guarding. While the two of them passed undetected due to some weird moves, the assassin didn't have it as easy as them. Finally, Feifei guided him to provoke a Divine Soul Realm demon beast, which immediately attacked the assassin. It wasn't that the demon beast didn't notice Krune and Feifei, it was just that it put a lot more importance on the assassin who was in the same realm as it!

The assassin felt like crying already. Although he was stronger than the demon beast, he wasn't a Major Core owner like the guy that attacked Uriu back then. In the end, it took him quite a few exchanges with the demon beast to finally force it into fleeing. Still, it was too late. Krune and Feifei had already left his Divine Sense range.

Light Spirit also noticed that and said.

"You are good now, he can't reach you with his Divine Sense anymore."

Only after hearing Light Spirit's voice did Krune reduce his Tribulation Lightning output to 80% again. With Feifei's help, they then got even further until the assassin couldn't follow them anymore.

When Krune finally stopped, both he and Feifei were exhausted. Feifei had been using her Destiny Core to divine a safe route. One must remember that although the Divine Soul Realm enemy wasn't the focus of her calculations, he was still part of it. Not to mention that later, a Divine Soul Realm demon beast also took part in the predictions of the Destiny Energy. Fortunately, neither of them was the main focus of her efforts, but the route instead. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't be able to check both of them at the same time.

As for Krune, it is pretty obvious. To keep his Tribulation Lightning output at 100% all this time had hurt his Core quite a bit. Because of that, he didn't return to his human form but stayed like that so that he could heal himself easier.

Now that they are safe, both of them immediately started to recover their energy and heal the injuries. Feifei was only able to tell that this place was safe for the time being. However, now that the Divine Soul Realm enemy is out of her range, she can't Divine his actions anymore without more information.

While they were recovering, Krune asked Feifei.

"Is he someone from this dimension realm?"

Feifei shook her head.

"No, the changes in the destiny energy wasn't something that someone from our Western Protectorate should show. He definitely came from outside here, and even outside the territory of the Big Four."

Krune was taken aback! Doesn't it mean that they came for him or Feifei?

With Krune's IQ, he didn't take long to think about all the possibilities and reach the same conclusion as the other participants. He then told everything he thought to Feifei and said.

"We need to gather with the other participants. That's our best option at the moment since the realm is probably locked at the moment."

Feifei nodded, and they spent some time recovering to their peak. After that, they also left for the Inner Core Region.
