They share the same feelings. Tang Shaoyang also wanted to try his new power, Nine Heavenly Gates. However, he did not want to get entangled with more factions just like what happened to the Virandal Empire, The Karian Adventurer Guild, and the Mistovel Family. He wanted to avoid the fight against the other factions and focused on climbing the tower. Maybe finding another breeding ground from the same God Rank would yield more reward than fighting the other factions.

"We will avoid the fight if possible. Even if a fight breaks out, don't kill them," Tang Shaoyang delivered the bad news to her. He was also itchy to try his new power, but they had another priority. Of course, those words were not just for Rosalie, but Greed, Wrath, and Lu An as well.

The plan changed, if what Darlene said was the truth, then they just needed to exchange the information with the prisoner. He wanted to avoid any interaction with any factions from Starter City #5, but it was not possible since he wanted to find the boss floor faster.

Rosalie just smiled meaningfully when he warned her while Lu An chugged the healing potion to the nobleman that had a long name. Tang Shaoyang did not really remember anything about the guy. After Julian's wounds were healing, they went out of the cave to meet their guests.

Tang Shaoyang found some interesting information. It seemed the two factions behind these two nobles had something or maybe a skill to track Darlene and Julian. They were heading to the cave at a steady speed, but not too fast. Maybe they tried to avoid being noticed since they might think their prince and princess were kidnapped by an organized group.

They waited at the mouth cave, waiting for the rescue group's arrival. Tang Shaoyang had their number which was four hundred people. He could not see their average ranks because he could not use Detection with Spirit Eyes. Darlene and Julian were awake; the girl looked calm while Julian looked frightened.

"Where do you want to take me?" Darlene asked, curious. She stood there for like three minutes, not moving. But she realized they were not moving anywhere as she noticed her rescue group. She recognized the armored knights that led the group, all of them, "Hehehe… You are doomed,"

Darlene recognized Lu An's unique power, but the young man was still too weak to face the Xevia Kingdom's elite knight. One Legend Rank and six Primordial Ranks were leading the rescue operation.

Lu An played along, whispering to her ear, "I don't think so as long as you are in my hand. They don't dare to get closer when this dagger is on your neck." Darlene's smile stiffened as she sensed the cold dagger on her neck.

"Halt!" The leader knight of the rescue group raised his right hand.

While Darlene was calm, but not with Julian. The pampered boy had a frantic reaction at the sight of the rescue group, "Save me from this savage, Rabios! THEY HURT ME! SHOW THEM THE MIGHT OF THE KARIGAN FAMILY!"

"Too noisy," Lu An hit the back of Julian's knees, forcing the man to kneel and placed the sword next to his neck, "If you make any noise, I will sever your head!"

"STOP! Don't you dare touch Young Master Julian!"

It was a big group, but it was easy to find out that the groups were from three different factions. The one who just shouted was Rabios of the Karigan Family, and Tang Shaoyang found a familiar face from one group of faction, Roman. The Epic Rank Adventurer that found him after the battle against the God Ranks, also the adventurers who got crushed by Tang Shaoyang, humiliated. Roman was now Ancient Rank, and his intense gaze was fixated on Tang Shaoyang. That was right, the second group was the Karian Adventure Guild.

The last group was, of course, Darlene's group, the only group with a Legend Rank. That showed the importance of Darlene.

"What are you up to now, Ying!" Roman could not hold his anger back, raising his voice while pointing his finger at Tang Shaoyang.

Ying was a famous name in the city, the one who crushed the Virandal Empire's force and also the Mistovel Family. There was a big bounty on his head, but the name was gradually forgotten because no one could find the person for three months. But of course, Roman would never forget the name of Ying and his face.

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "I have no business with you," Then he met with the Legendary Rank's eyes, "I just want the eleventh floor's boss location. I will return your princess for the location."

The exchange was simple, information and for the person. The man called Rabios sneered, "Do you think we will give you the information? Do you think you are in a position to make a demand? If you don't want to experience a horrible death, you better give—"

Rabios did not finish his words as Julian's scream filled the air. Tang Shaoyang formed Slayer Blade, then he cut Julian's right hand. There was no hesitation in his action, giving no chance for anyone to react, including Lu An. The hand flopped to the ground as the blood sprayed to Darlene who screamed as well afterward.

"If you speak again when I don't speak with you, the next target will be his head!" Rabios stumped, opening his mouth but there were no words coming out. He was afraid that Julian would be killed for real next time.

The Legend Rank motioned the others to take steps back, indicating he would speak to Tang Shaoyang while he got three steps closer, "How am I supposed to trust you? What if you still kill Lady Darlene after I give you the location?"

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "You don't have any other choice but to trust me, no?"

The Legend Rank turned his gaze to Darlene, checking if Lady Darlene was injured or not. Aside from being frightened, Darlene was fine.

"Then you have to wait for us to finish one hundred quests first. We haven't finished the quest," The Legend Rank let out a sigh and agreed to Tang Shaoyang's demand.
