Corrupt Creations

Most of the girls were focused on what they had just seen and hadn't noticed how pale Seth's expression currently was, but Rina had immediately looked at his direction, as soon as she saw Chun Meiyi's image.

She knew how much that sleeping girl meant for him and knew that after what had been shown, he wouldn't be able to stay put and ignore the facts.

Rina was about to say something for him, but Seth's abnormal anxiousness made him take rash actions.

"I... I need to go." Seth suddenly activated his Shadow Walk, but as soon as his figure blurred, the Mana of a Mana Sovereign middle-stage Realm cultivator blocked his path.

"Where do you think you're going?" Arwen suddenly appeared before him, grabbing on his shoulder while blocking his route. Her powerful Mana was exhaustively trying to block his energy veins, creating a heavy area around the both of them.

Seth's Shadow Walk was deactivated but the sense of crisis and urgency still remained inside of him. If he wanted, he could forcefully break through Arwen's blockade, but he would inevitably need to use Mana, what could lead to eventual injuries on anyone that wasn't at the Profound Mana Realm at least.

"I need to leave right now, or..."

"I won't permit that."

"..." Seth didn't know how to react.

Suddenly, the entire environment inside of that room got heavier. Everyone felt something really serious must have happened.

"Do you think I don't know why you're in a hurry...?" Arwen looked directly at him.

Seth's mind wasn't properly thinking about everything at that moment and the only think he saw in his eyes, was the image of Meiyi's body being transported to inside of that purple world.

"Then why are you blocking me?" Seth gritted his teeth in order to control his anxiety, but that sense of urgency was not leaving him in peace.

"No, you're wrong. I'm not blocking your path, but making sure you listen to a few of my words." Even though she said that, she wasn't lifting her blockade off of him at all.

Arwen saw that he at least seemed to be willing to listen and started to say what she had to say.

"First of all... Do you even know exactly where that purple woman brought that girl to? Do you know the directions or even how to access the place she was brought to? No...? What about the rough number and power level of the enemy? Do you know about that? Or are you perhaps trying to throw yourself in the middle of thousands of powerful enemies, so you could die in a faraway place without anyone knowing?"

Initially, Seth was about to say what he knew about Meiyi and the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, but as she kept saying those words, he found himself unable to reply.

With a single phrase, Arwen was able to make him get speechless to the point where even his anxiety had vanished.

When the other girls heard about Arwen's assumptions, they turned towards Seth as if they were demanding for an answer.

Seth felt his soul splitting in a half and he really didn't know how to properly act. However, he knew he would do everything and anything in order to save Meiyi.

"Arwen... Girls... I'm sorry, but..."

Before he could finish his sentence though, the Elf Queen said: "I'm not saying you shouldn't go; however, I won't permit that my man throws his life away on that way. We are going to devise a plan together and you're not allowed to leave until we decided everything."

At that moment, Arwen was the one who had the best clarity of mind and using a bit of her skill as the leader of a nation, she was able to put order on what was happening. Luckily, due to the abrupt seriousness of that situation, Elyra wasn't able to process what Arwen really meant with "my man", else her mind would get as messy as Seth's mind at that moment.

"Fine." Seth felt like she had the reason, but he just couldn't completely calm down his sense of crisis. However, Rina's voice came to help him with that.

"Seth, I know how much she means for you, but this time you have to list to mom. I'm certain that Meiyi is fine; she is a strong girl after all."

Serene was super lost on that situation as well, but she wanted to help Seth at least a little bit, so she tried to cheer him up as well.

"Rina is right. Nothing bad is going to happen with her and just like me, you will certainly bring her back here."

After hearing the voice of those two girls, Seth's mind was finally able to calm down for a bit. So, after thanking them, he finally decided to say some words.

After looking at everyone present in that room, he said: "You may not know, but the girl that was abducted by that purple entity, was someone really important to me. She is someone that unfortunately got some bloodline ties with the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary and that purple woman was most likely their leader. Unfortunately, I could sense that she is someone really dangerous, so I'd rather doing things alone, than putting anyone that I love at risk. However, I admit that I was naïve to think that going alone would be better... Sorry."

Arwen finally nodded and said: "Now, we can start thinking about a strategy."

"Do you have any plans?"

"Sigh... Since you pretty much told us that we're dealing with the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, I would be lying to you if I said that I had one. They are not the most mysterious ancient power for no reason; just trying to enter their territory is going to be a pain in the ass."

Seth furrowed his eyebrows and asked: "Why is it so hard to do that?"

"Well... They have this super hidden sanctuary, located inside a heavily guarded area, where a huge bloodline barrier is erected. Without the Illusive Ethereal bloodline running through your veins, the barrier will never open a passageway for you."
