Chapter 630 - Was It That Obvious?!
Agis then asked something else.
\'How about control? Can you trust the person they select? Sure, I know that they don\'t hate humans. However, that doesn\'t mean that they would want to betray the Zasfin Race. You better remember that our path is at odds with their race as well.\'
Roan shrugged his shoulders as he replied.
\'What else can we do? I\'ll just have whoever they send eat one of my poison pills. If they don\'t want to die, they\'ll have to keep quiet.\'
Frandin narrowed his eyes as he said in response.
\'But if their pride is big enough, they might ignore the fact that they can die and reveal everything regardless.\'
Rean didn\'t seem to care, saying.
\'It\'s fine. After all, we\'re humans. Zasfins will never put too much attention on us, especially on our cultivation. After all, humans at the Core Formation and Core and Soul Fusion Realms can easily be found in the Decadence Region and similar places. Chances are high that they will think we found a way to escape from there. That\'s all.\'
\'Also, we don\'t need to talk about our plan either. Don\'t forget that we have a place in the Dimensional Realm to keep the person they chose.\'
Frandin sighed as he remembered the jail he was kept in when he was first captured. That thing didn\'t allow one to see outside, so he didn\'t even know he was in a separate dimension to start with. Besides, Sister Orb could control the dimension, not allowing any Spiritual Energy to enter that place. Escaping was simply not an option.
\'Since you have all of that covered, I won\'t say anything else.\'
Somewhere else in the Asume Clan, there was a woman cultivating in a private chamber. Ripples of Soul Power and Spiritual Energy escaped her body even though she absorbed even more from the Spirit Stones around her. If the twins could see her, they would be able to tell that she was definitely in the Soul Transformation Realm.
Just as that woman was deeply engrossed in her cultivation, someone knocked on the door.
"Enter."
The door opened as another girl entered the room together with a man. They were Xiria and her father, who came to talk about Frandin\'s request.
"Ancestor Sumeri, sorry for bothering you during your cultivation."
Sumeri shook her head, not minding it too much.
"It\'s fine. I was about to finish it in a few days anyway. Anyway, what is it? Did something happen?"
Xiria\'s father then looked at Xiria and nodded, letting Xiria talk.
"Ancestor, it\'s like this..."
Xiria then explained what Frandin(Gian) wanted and his offer to the clan. At first, Sumeri wasn\'t too concerned. She was even willing to agree since having one of their members following a Celestial Land Disciple might bring them great benefits, especially someone as talented as Frandin(Gian). She was even more satisfied since he identified the Soul Stone and even used it in the past. Unfortunately, he didn\'t have the method to use it himself.
However, when she heard the request regarding the Soul Rulers and their Soul Purity search, she narrowed her eyes. Obviously, she was also tasked to look for humans who were within the threshold.
"Are you sure that he asked that?"
Xiria nodded as she answered.
"Yes. Gian said that all I needed to do was to pass this message to you."
Sumeri pondered over it for a bit before saying.
"Alright. Tell Gian that we do have a method to call the Soul Rulers as long as he has a compatible human. In fact, this is the same method everyone else uses in the city."
Xiria and her father couldn\'t help but ask what these Soul Rulers were. Sumeri pondered for a bit and decided to tell them what she knew. Of course, she also warned them not to spread this information. Naturally, those two were shocked that such an organization existed.
Sumeri ignored their surprise, though.
"Also, tell him that we want to take part in it. Such a human would give great benefits to our clan. If he isn\'t against that, I\'ll be more than happy to comply."
Xiria was taken aback by that.
"Ancestor, you\'re speaking as if you don\'t mind sacrificing one of our servants for that."
Sumeri sighed in response when she heard that.
"It looks terrible, doesn\'t it? However, you shouldn\'t underestimate the Soul Rulers. If they find out that we tried to hide a human with the right properties, our clan would be as good as gone. That\'s not something we can risk even though we like them. Remember, the clan is still the higher priority. Besides, this single human sacrifice would help many others that we would be able to take under our wings. Since that\'s the case, I might as well get as many benefits from it as possible."
Xiria and her father nodded even though their expressions didn\'t seem that happy. As much as they treated the humans well, they couldn\'t risk the clan\'s existence because of that.
"I understand. I shall inform Gian about it."
Xiria\'s father, Laun Asume, then asked something else.
"Ancestor, is it fine to trust him that easily?"
Sumeri shrugged her shoulders as she replied.
"Anyone who knows of such information is definitely a bigshot. As you mentioned, I\'m pretty sure Gian is part of one of the Celestial Lands. Considering how well he treats his humans, I wouldn\'t be surprised if he came from the Unity Celestial Land."
Xiria and Laun nodded after hearing that. They also knew the rumors about Unity Celestial Land, the one that accepted humans. That would make a lot of sense considering Frandin\'s way of treating humans.
Sumeri then smiled at Xiria as she said.
"You\'re quite lucky, Xiria. You almost lost your virginity for nothing."
Xiria felt embarrassed, so did her father. He also accepted that request from the clan head, after all. Sumeri didn\'t blame them, though. Getting the method to use the Soul Stone would definitely have been worth it.
Xiria then quickly changed the topic.
"B-By the way, who should we select to follow him? He did ask for someone willing to follow him, after all."
Sumeri looked at Xiria with a puzzled expression as she asked in response.
"Why are you asking that when it\'s obvious that you want to be the one to follow him?"
Xiria\'s face went even redder as she asked in a stammering manner.
\'W-was it that obvious?!\'
