"Grandfather?" The people in the surrounding area muttered to themselves, wondering what Lothur's grandfather could be to send a Transcendent to keep an eye on this young fellow.
At the same time that these people were theorizing about Lothur's mysterious past, this young man identified which side that person belonged to.
His father's side seemed to really want his freedom since the man Lothur had met earlier had freed him after a brief conversation.
But according to that person, his grandfather's side would not do the same, and in this instant, he could not help but believe that this was the case.
"So you are here because of this person..." Lothur said aloud while keeping his guard up against that man. "Are you here to capture me? What is the reason for this? What is the problem between those two? And why do they want to involve me in all this?"
That Transcendent then said. "It's not quite like that. I came here because I thought you were in danger... But, in any case, I dare not meddle in the affairs of your father and grandfather. That is something you should discuss with them."
"I'm only here to take you safely to your grandfather. How about this? We can solve this demon problem, and you absorb its Soul Bone before we get to your grandfather." This person with his hidden identity suggested.
The demon heard that and did not like it at all since it felt like such a human could really find someone to kill it.
"Human, don't believe him. This person is trying to capture you! Who knows what he actually wishes to do with you..." It said in its chilling voice, feeling difficulty speaking because of the tightness in its neck.
"Shut up!" Lothur said to this creature as he squeezed harder on its neck.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Young Ritter then looked at that man and said. "What if I don't want to go now? I'm in the middle of a mission and have some important business to take care of in Peters City. How about we set up a meeting for about six months from now? I'll be less busy then."
The Spiritual Warriors there looked at each other, watching as Lothur tried to negotiate with that expert who seemed to be only trying to help him.
But even if that man did not seem like an enemy, they could not help but consider that it would be better for Lothur to continue in Peters City during this period.
"It's only six months... That goes by in the blink of an eye." One of them said in a tone to defend the silver-haired young man's wishes.
But as much as six months was not long, the Transcendent could not use common logic in this matter.
'His grandfather ordered me to take him away as soon as possible... But at the same time, Lothur is a box of surprises. If I wait six months, he may find a way to escape or even go to his father before he meets the right person.' He pondered in silence until he made up his mind on how he should proceed.
"Lothur, you will get everything I promised regardless of whether it will be for good or for bad. But if you rebel, I will bind you and take you by force to your grandfather." He prepared himself for action as he said those words.
"What's it going to be? Will you travel with me like a normal person? Or will you prefer to go as a prisoner?"
Gulp!
The people in the surrounding area felt the atmosphere become tenser inside that cave, with Lothur and the Transcendent looking at each other intensely.
Lothur already had the teleportation formation he received from the Transcendent sent by his father in hand and said. "If you don't accept my proposal, you will be left with nothing."
"We'll see!" He laughed as he said this and flew toward Lothur, using most of his strength, unlike what he had done before.
'This time, you won't escape because of my carelessness...' He was thinking about this when Lothur activated the formation he had in hand, causing a strange force to come into action under both his and the demon's body.
The space around them distorted, and a fracture in space appeared at their backs, drawing the attention of everyone there.
When such a fracture appeared, Lothur felt him and that creature being pulled by an invisible force, leaving that place in the blink of an eye.
"No!" That Transcendent lost his smile, seeing that Lothur still had such a radical alternative.
'Damn it!'
'Someone from his father contacted him!' He felt a chill run down his spine, predicting that he would get a heavy punishment when he returned to the empire's capital.
At the same time, as Lothur and the demon disappeared from the area and that spatial fissure began to close, the Spiritual Warriors were even more shocked.
A teleportation formation was a high-level artifact that would be rated no lower than Silver-grade. So finding out that Lothur had something like that with him was no small piece of information.
They still had not learned everything about that guy!
At that instant, Elke came running through the hole these men had made moments ago.
"Lothur?" She shouted as she entered there, drawing the attention of those who had just seen the disappearing spatial fissure.
"Lothur? Where is Lothur?" She asked in a more concerned tone, noticing that the cultivators in the area seemed shocked by something.
Luckily for Elke, one of her family members was around and soon approached her to talk about what had just happened.
On the other hand, the Transcendent was standing in front of where Lothur and the demon had disappeared from, clenching his fists tightly, totally frustrated.
'I must return to the capital and report everything that happened!'
He then was the first to leave there, leaving Elke and the 2nd stage cultivators talking about the previous events.
Elke discovered that Lothur had defeated the demon and felt relieved about the previous matter. But at the same time, she was worried as she considered his position.
'I wonder where he went?' She thought about this as she returned to the village alongside the elder of her family.
'My family will certainly investigate where he went, so I can do nothing now but continue the mission.' She looked back and saw the farm.
'If he can return to Peters City by the third Monday of the month, we can successfully join the Ice Feathers faction.' She stuck to what she was doing, trying to control her worry.
...
While Elke was deciding what to do, Lothur and the demon had just arrived at a different location from the previous cave.
Now they were in a rainforest, a forest full of tall plants, with vegetation covering the sunlight in some parts of the area but not hiding all the local exuberance.
At the same time, the smell of salt in the air was significant, something Lothur readily identified.
"Are we in the Three Great Lakes Region?" His eyes widened in surprise as he discovered the location that the previous formation had brought him.
