Is that a Wisp?
chapter-659

Krune's group then was brought into a sealed room where they could be watched all the time. There were several formations around that could prevent the use of Godly Energy, block Divine Sense, etc.

Inside that room, they were separated into three different positions with locking formations. Other than their voice, nothing else could go out.

"You can wait here. Someone from the Celestial Soul Organization will come shortly. Also, you can drop any idea about escaping this place."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"How did you find about us?"

Eason smiled after hearing that question.

"You were not the only ones to come to this place, remember?"

Sure enough, it was as Krune imagine. Eason seemed very confident that they were outsiders, so they must have received information from someone. Other than his group, the only ones remaining were obviously Foltan's group.

Iem shrugged his shoulders.

"Does that mean we are gonna be killed?"

Eason laughed after hearing that.

"Killed? You are our ticket out of this damned planet. Why would we kill you? If you play your cards correctly, you might be heavily compensated instead. Anyway, just wait here."

Eason left right after as the formation closed right behind him. As mentioned a moment ago, this room prevents the use of Divine Sense, so Divine Sense conversation should be impossible. Too bad that it is useless to Krune and his Mental Energy. But first, he had another thing to ask someone else.

"Zule, would you be able to open a spatial gate here?"

Zule immediately answered.

"I can pretty much open it anywhere on this planet. However, I'll need godly energy and time to do it."

Krune nodded. If those were the only conditions, a chance is bound to appear sooner or later. After that, he sent a Mental Energy Message to Iem and Sisan.

"Alright, you two. Our escape route is still secured. However, don't do anything that could make them suspicious. As for our Spatial Rings, I'm not sure if we can convince them to give it back to us. Of course, we can try since we still have 12 days left."

Iem was already expecting it. However, Sisan was surprised that he could hear Krune in his mind even though Divine Sense was restricted. Of course, he wouldn't be idiot enough to reveal that on his face.

"Anyway, Divine Sense can't leave your bodies, but it still exists inside yourself. As long as you focus on it with the intention of communicating with me, I'll be able to hear it."

Sisan sighed in relief and immediately did as Krune said.

"I did have some personal things that were quite important for me in my Spatial Ring. However, they weren't critical to the point we must take it back. The problem is that the Fire Essence I collected is still inside. If we escape like this, I won't have anything to offer to the sect."

Iem also said his piece.

"The most valuable things I had were those Heavenly Fragments I traded with you. A lot of the items could be considered of high value or even priceless in the Mortal Realm, but they weren't anything impressive here in the Godly Path Realm. As for the rest, they were basically Godly Stones and Formations Materials. Of course, I would love to get them back. Not to mention that the Fire Essence Vials are still there."

Of course, Sisan couldn't hear Iem, and the same was for the opposite side. The messages would need to pass through Krune if they wanted to talk to the other. That's why Iem didn't mind saying so much.

Sisan then asked something else.

"By the way, what do you mean with our escape route is still secure? Can we really escape with all these guys looking at us?"

Krune sighed.

"All I can say is that we need Godly Energy and Time. With these two, I can definitely open a Spatial Gate leading us out. That's why I said the escape route is still secure. However, we will need to gather together again for that."

Sisan nodded. As long as it is still possible to open a passage to the outside, they can take their time to figure the rest out.

Iem also asked another thing after that.

"By the way, can your Mental Energy check the outside?"

Krune nodded. He had already spread his Mental Energy to check the surroundings. It's just that other than this room, the Godly Energy out of this place was very thick. It was comparable to the Top Quality Godly Vein. Because of that, even his Mental Energy got severely hindered once it escaped the formation. Krune could only see up to 2km outside the room.

"I can't see too far, but I can tell you that we are surrounded. There are twenty-three cultivators and demon beasts around our room, all of them with cultivations at the Mortal Rejection Realm at the very least. That guy who captured us is also there, looking straight at us. From the looks of it, he can see the things inside while we can't do the opposite. I guess he is waiting for us to start to talk with each other to see if we will say something important."

That being said, Iem, Sisan, and Krune really started to talk with each other. Of course, they only spoke things that one would expect in this situation. That was only to make the ones outside to drop their guard. They even went to the extent of looking 'nervous' with their situation. But at the same time, they had calm conversations through Krune's Mental Energy.

"Luvile, do you think the Purple Tribulation Lightning can open a passage for us to leave?"

Luvile pondered a bit before saying.

"These formations seem very sturdy. However, you know what my Purple Tribulation special traits are. Given enough time for constant use, it can definitely open a hole in the end. Harold's Devil Flame can most likely do the same thing. However, it will be better if you can convince those guys outside to drop their guards and give you some degree of freedom by themselves."

Krune nodded. On Iem's side, Harold had told him basically the same thing.

Time passed, and around an hour later, someone from the Celestial Soul Organization arrived with a few other subordinates. Not only that, there were representatives of the other Celestial Organizations with him too. After all, this was a situation that concerned all four powers. Considering that there was a chance of leaving this place, neither side bothered with any disputes. They were all united for the sake of escaping.

"How was it? Did they say anything relevant?"

Eason bitterly smiled when he heard that.

"They did."

Going back a few minutes, Krune's group 'argued' about their situation.

"It was your idea that we should spend a few decades here while cultivating in the Fire Essence Vein. Now, look at what happened. We should have looked for an escape route from the very start."

Sisan 'snorted.'

"Hmph! You two agreed with it, didn't you? All we needed to do was to cultivate until the peak of the Divinity Realm. We brought loads of High Quality Godly Stones, so we definitely had enough Godly Energy to do it. We just needed to wait for the next time when the Top Quality Godly Energy Vein Sealed Space stabilized again to go out. We would have both collected lots of resources and improved our cultivations by leaps and bounds. Don't try to put all the blame on me."

With Foltan's group captured, it was evident that all th information outside was leaked already. That being said, they first had to convince the outside group that they had no other way out. In the end, they came up with this story where they decided to stay on this planet for the next few decades instead of having a way out.

Sure enough, when the others heard Eason saying that, their complexions turned dark. After all, it meant that Krune's group could only do the same thing as Foltan's group. If that was the case, then they would be of no help to them either.

The guy from the Celestial Soul Organization was called Falo Jacind, a God Core Realm expert. Obviously, he wasn't pleased to hear that either.

"They might be trying to mislead us."

Eason nodded.

"That is possible. However, finding out the truth is your job."

Falo then stepped forward and entered the room.

Of course, Krune's group noticed his presence straight away.

"My name is Falo Jacind, an elder of the Celestial Soul Organization. I'll be the one carrying out the questions from now on. As you know, we have tried to leave this planet for countless years. However, we simply can't step out. Do you know about any method that could help us with it? Our Celestial Organizations would definitely reward you generously in that case."

As Falo talked, an invisible Soul Power spread out of his mind, enveloping Krune and the others.

Right after, Luvile and Harold's warning came out.

"This guy is using a technique to check the ripples of your soul. It probably has something to do with a lie detector or similar use. Make sure you control have full control over it before giving any answer."

Hearing that, Krune and Iem immediately focused on their own souls. At the same time, Krune warned Sisan with his Mental Energy. Only then did Krune answer the elder's question.

"So it was true, you guys really want to leave this place. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but such a thing is impossible for those born in this place."

From the very start, Krune dropped a bomb at everyone watching!
