Corrupt Creations

After a few seconds of silence, Arwen resumed speaking.

"Good. Since you're someone that has that bloodline running through your veins, we won't need to bother with that barrier. However, even though we can directly enter their sanctuary, if we take advantage of that, it doesn't mean we will do it."

"What do you mean?"

"The only one that is going to enter that place, will be Seth. You and I are going to stay on the outside."

Lan Xue didn't like that plan, since she desperately wanted to battle the Sanctuary Master. But before she could complain about that, Seth decided to talk.

"I see... So, basically, you want me to secretly enter their base and kidnap Meiyi, right?"

"That's right. And... Only you can do it, no one else. In order to freely move through the outer layers of their territory, a high-level movement technique will be required and only your dark arts are able to do that. You just have to be careful to not approach their core region. There isn't many concrete information regarding that place, but it's known to be where the source of their bloodline powers resides and most probably, where that purple entity is."

'The source...?' When Seth heard those words, he remembered that Lexi had told him that he would need that "source" to perfectly heal Meiyi. Even though he knew that she probably didn't need it anymore, his mind couldn't help but get fixed on that piece of information.

Since he hadn't been able to see her opening her eyes, he still thought that something was missing for Meiyi's awakening, so Seth made a mental note to secretly investigate that a bit further when he got there.

Arwen turned towards Lan Xue and continued talking about her plans: "While he goes inside their territory, in order to find that girl, we will pull their attention towards us. They won't be able to ignore two Mana Sovereign Realm powerhouses attacking their borders; however, I don't want to bring any trouble to my kingdom, so I will only be able to help you with my wind elemental abilities and consecutively, I won't be able to bring all my powers out."

"Hm? What about your appearance? People will probably recognize you." Seth suddenly asked.

"I'll be using a special disguise that I found inside Allannia's personal treasury. Something she might have used to secretly meet with her followers behind our backs, at that time. It's just a simple butterfly mask; however, it can blur my face with weak but constant Mana fluctuations and even change the length and the color of my hair."

"I see..."

"Is their Sanctuary Master going to come out?" Suddenly, Lan Xue asked.

Arwen noticed she put a lot of importance on that topic, due to the heavy intonation on her words and her fixed gaze.

"I'm certain he will."

"How...? How can you be so sure of that?"

"We are going to press them with two Mana Sovereign Realm cultivators and unless they respond with an equivalent power, things won't end well for them. However, since we are going against them right inside their territory, only one Mana Sovereign will be required to take part in their side, if they take advantage of their sect's protective measures and treasures. That's why I believe the Sanctuary Master will come out by himself, after they probe our powers with some of their "fodder", since he is the only one that can effectively use and control their special formations."

Lan Xue quietly heard her explanation and decided to follow her plans, since they were grounded on solid facts; however, she had some conditions.

"I'll do as you say, but I want to battle the Sanctuary Master alone. That's all I will request."

The Elf Queen looked at her and then she turned towards Seth to listen to what he would say about that, but just through his solemn expression and the heavy feeling she felt through their Soul Link, she realized some things.

Seth knew Lan Xue was probably going to risk her life battling till the end with that man, but he couldn't bring himself to stop her. After what he saw and heard in that Glazed Stone and by how Lan Xue was acting, he realized she would do everything to exact her revenge on him, even though she hadn't made it clear why. However, Seth could already imagine the motive.

Through his silence, Arwen realized she should at least comply with Lan Xue's request, but after analyzing the situation a bit further, at the back of her eyes, a strange light swiftly blinked. It was like she had just devised a dangerous plan; a plan she had to put to work right away.

"Very well, I agree with that."

Lan Xue nodded.

"Seth, after you enter their territory, the main problem is going to be finding the girl, but I'm certain that you can use "that" to find where she is, since it is one of your specialties I guess."

Seth understood what Arwen was trying to say by that, but he didn't understand why she was talking that way.

Lan Xue took notice of those words, but she simply ignored it, since it must be a secret Arwen didn't want to leak.

"When are we leaving then?" Seth was already getting impatient. Every time he thought of Meiyi, he had the urge to just leave and go after her.

"There is nothing more to be said. We can go right now. However, in order for us to get there at top condition, we will stop briefly every two days of traveling."

Seth felt like arguing about that, but her argument made sense. They would have to travel for a week, spending their precious Mana in order to reach the desired location. But upon arriving there, there wouldn't be a way for them to know of the dangers that awaited them, before they dived into the sanctuary. So, the best course of action, was to be at top condition.

"Good, let's go."

At that night, three powerful figures left the Ereinrith city while moving like a streak of lightning. Their speed could only be described as terrifying, just like the fate that was reserved for their enemies.
