Is that a Wisp?

Krune then asked Feifei to keep trying to see what they would find there. For that, Feifei would need to get even closer, which was already happening. Finally, Feifei was able to give some information to Krune and the others.

"It is as you probably thought, there are quite a few demon beasts living in that place."

It was indeed what Krune was expecting, so he turned to everyone and said.

"Everyone, I have a plan to lure those guys."

They at him waiting for his words.

Krune then sent to them a Divine Sense message explaining what they would do. When they heard about what Krune could do, they were taken aback.

"Can you really do that?"

Krune nodded.

"We are almost there, so come closer. That will give us a big advantage. The assassins think that we are fleeing, but they don't know to where. If we suddenly disappear, there is no doubt that they will come straight at us to see what happened."

Krune then looked at Feifei and said.

"Feifei, I will need you to find a route where we won't bump on those Divine Soul Demon Beasts."

Feife nodded and started to use her Destiny Core to the limit. So far, she had been using it sporadically so that she would always be in a combat state. But with Krune's plan, it was now time to put it to good use.

Suddenly, Uriu's life core started to make him feel restless.

"Not good, the Death Core owner is almost here."

Krune then received a message from Light Spirit.

"I can feel a new Divine Sense. That Uriu kid is not lying. Still, he is further away than the other three, so it seems like they aren't coming before getting together."

Krune then didn't waste time and immediately went back to his wisp form.

"Now, gather together."

They got close to Krune, and suddenly, a small layer of Tribulation Lightning started to spread around them. That was the technique that Light Spirit taught him back then when he left the Rainbow Sect. The one capable of hiding oneself against Divine Senses! At that time, it was able to hide Krune against four Soul Forging Experts, so let alone a few Divine Soul Realm ones.

The reason that Krune hasn't used it so far was that he could only control it to cover himself. Even for Krune, he had to admit that controlling it was very demanding. It needs one to control Tribulation Lightning in a very delicate way, which was very hard with a power as berserk as this one. That's why he hadn't used it so far and asked Light Spirit to do it this time.

Light Spirit usually wouldn't intervene too, the more dangerous situations that Krune goes through, the faster he will grow. But the time now was different, so he had to do it for Krune for them to at least have a chance in this plan. In fact, Light Spirit didn't have Krune's limitation. If he wanted, he could control it even from far away!

Krune then took a runestone out of his Spatial Ring.

Surprisingly, it was a teleport formation one. But Krune's idea was not to teleport everyone, but to use its space power to fool the assassins!

On the side of the assassins, they had already noticed Gelius coming. They were just waiting for him to initiate their attack. But suddenly, Krune's group disappeared from their Divine Senses!

"Did they use a teleport formation or a runestone one?"

Lanis nodded.

"I was able to see that wisp bringing out a Runestone, and then I felt the power of the space around them just before they disappeared. Let's go, with the number that had just been teleported, they shouldn't have gone far. Yano, take a look if you can find the direction they had gone."

Yano nodded and immediately started to work, he couldn't pinpoint their exact location. Still, he could give a general direction as Feifei does.

"They are still further ahead in the same direction."

Lanis and the other two nodded and immediately dashed forward.

On Krune's side, he had Light Spirit use the Tribulation Lightning Layer just as they were about to enter the place of the Teleport Formation. With that, the demon beasts inside wouldn't feel their presence. With Feifei's help and the fact that she just had to predict what was in front of her, they were able to move past the demon beasts without being noticed.

A few minutes later, the assassins arrived. When they used their Divine Sense to see the place, they soon noticed the number of demon beasts in the area.

"No wonder they used a teleport runestone, there are too many beasts here, so they probably used it to pass by without alarming them."

Still, they couldn't waste time here. So they ignored the demon beasts' eyes and moved forward. Even if a Divine Soul Demon Beast appears, they will be able to deal with it straight away with their combined power. But what they didn't expect is that this place is guarded not by one or two of them, but six!

The reason was evident, this is the place that has the teleport formation that leads into the inner core region, so it had a lot more protection.

Sure enough, the low-level beasts noticed the assassins passing through and immediately informed their leaders.

On Krune's side, they were moving as fast as they can. Finally, they could see a giant building in front that seemed to be very old. Feifei then confirmed that the teleport formation is really inside. At the moment, no one was using their Divine Senses since they didn't want to alarm the demon beasts at the same level or higher. In that case, they could only count on Feifei's prediction ability.

Krune looked at her and could see that Feifei was sweating quite a lot. It was evident that she was using her Destiny Core to a great extent. Suddenly, Feifei shouted through a Divine Sense Message.

"Everyone get down now! Don't move."

They did as Feifei asked, and just a second later, they saw five flashes of light flying in the direction that they came. Immediately, Krune's group understood who they were.

As expected, those are the Divine Soul Demon Beasts guarding the location. They got information from their subordinates about the assassins coming in their direction. There were two Thunder Lions with one Lioness. Beside them, one could also see two Dark Tigers and one White. Of course, the White Tiger isn't the Divine Beast Winged White Tiger, just a normal white one.

Krune's group knew that their luring plan worked, and the assassins did really get the Divine Soul beasts attention.

The Assassins noticed the Divine Soul beasts coming in their Divine Sense. But at the same time, they also saw a teleport formation inside a building in the same direction! If they didn't understand what was happening now, they would have lived their lives in vain.

"Those brats!"

The Demon Beasts were left behind with an order to kill anyone that intruded inside, and it had been like this for a very long time. So when those beasts arrived, they didn't say anything and attacked straight away.

The assassins weren't weak, though. Even with the disadvantage in numbers, they were just put in a defensive position but were still able to hold the demon beasts back. But what they were afraid wasn't the demon beasts, but the Teleport Formation inside the building. If Krune's group goes through it and destroy the formation on the other side, it will take a long time until they find their group again.

Unfortunately for them, Krune had already predicted this much. So it was well within his plan that they would try to stop them from using the teleport formation.

With Feifei's help, Krune and the others entered the building without alarming any of the lower level beasts. They could feel quite a lot of Divine Senses passing through them, but only the Core Formation ones would pose any risk. Still, Light Spirit was controlling the Tribulation Layer, so even they couldn't feel their presence at the moment.

But because of the battle outside, the majority of the Core Formation Realm demon beasts went out to check. So the place was pretty much empty at the moment. Thanks to that, by avoiding the other beasts and getting rid of some on the way. They arrived at the teleport formation but didn't try to use it. Instead, Krune silently put several spirit stones around it so that they could use it at any time.

Outside, Gelius had finally caught up with their group. Once there, he immediately attacked and put the demon soul beasts at a disadvantage. But Lanis knew that they couldn't waste time here.

"Yano, you go ahead and destroy that formation before they can use it, we will hold the demon beasts back!"

Yano didn't say anything and immediately turned back to his griffin form. He then dashed forward while Lanis, Peily, and Gelius stayed to deal with the demon beasts.

The reason that Lanis asked Yano to do that is that in his griffin form, he is the best at keeping himself alive. They still couldn't detect Krune's group even after arriving into this place. But there is no way that these Divine Soul Beasts would let them use the teleport formation, so they arrived at the conclusion that Krune's group was hiding from their Divine Sense. If not, then they were not here to start with. But they couldn't take the risk, so Yano was tasked with destroying the Teleport Formation.

Light Spirit noticed Yano coming and immediately told Krune. Although there was more than one entrance to the teleport room, Krune had Light Spirit to tell from where Yano would be coming from. After hearing that, Krune smiled.

"Gotcha!"
