Chapter 736 The slave had spoken using his speed as a parameter, which meant that a group of heroic cultivators would be able to reach the domain of the Duron Bloodline in less than a month .
As for any details about that region, he knew nothing about them .
Traveling in that world was dangerous since magical beasts occupied most of its territories . The slave had barely left his city during his life, and that was his first time wandering so far away from the human domain .
Noah and the others would be in the dark after crossing the areas around the city .
However, that thought didn't scare them .
The truth was that their group was strong, especially when they considered the peculiar situation of the humans of that world .
Noah didn't believe that the natives would attack them without trying to create an alliance first . The terms of that alliance would depend on how desperate their situation was .
Another series of questions followed those that concerned the layout of those Mortal Lands, but the slave's knowledge had reached its limits . That was expected from a rank 2 cultivator . Still, reaching that point meant that the leaders had to decide on his fate .
They would just kill him in a normal situation, but it would be a problem if the rulers of the natives became biased because of that act . Different worlds had different traditions, and every asset would be valued a lot in that one due to the power of the magical beasts .
Also, Noah and the others couldn't hide the fact that they had captured a cultivator . There wasn't a way to justify their knowledge otherwise .
"The chains," Noah spoke when silence spread in that area, "Can you remove them?"
He knew that slaves couldn't escape the chains alive, but Gray Fury seemed to have used a different kind of restraining items . Moreover, he didn't believe that the leader of the Empire's faction would condemn a cultivator without knowing his background .
The slave had turned out to be a no one, but that world was still in a dire state, so it was better to be cautious about their action .
"Yes . " Gray Fury answered before questioning him . "Will you carry him along?"
Noah nodded and left the area before he could ask them to leave . The others followed him and regrouped at some distance from the leader of the Empire's faction to discuss some details .
First of all, they had to be sure of their safety .
Noah only had one rank 5 defensive talisman left since his journey inside the separate dimension, and that wasn't enough for such a critical mission . Except for June, the wealth of the cultivators in his group was even worse than his in that aspect .
Of course, she wouldn't say that since the fact that she had retrieved Eccentric Thunder's inheritance was a secret, and obtaining more defensive items from the Royals could only benefit her .
The matter was quickly settled . The leaders had already deployed their cultivators, so protecting them was the least they could do .
The second part of their discussion concerned the type of behavior that they would have upon reaching natives of particular importance . They could secretly communicate in their language, but that didn't cover how they would approach the new force .
Their primary objective was to understand their power so that the rank 6 existences could decide if a peaceful alliance was the best option, or if a war would bring them more benefits .
That topic caused a lot of discussions, but, in the end, the leaders agreed that it was better to be respectful for the time being . They also allowed the envoys to reveal some of their techniques to make a collaboration appealing .
The last issue concerned the roles of each envoy, but that matter was settled quickly .
Noah would be the leader of the mission, while the others would simply help him with their knowledge in their respective fields .
The rank 5 cultivators though added the condition that the eight of them would have to swear an oath before adventuring through the unknown lands .
Noah knew that the Council and the Elbas family were mostly worried about him due to his history . Yet, he immediately accepted that condition since he had no intention to undermine the success of the mission .
It was in his best interest to obtain those techniques, and June would be with him too! There was a high chance that he could seize some private time with her amid their political mission .
After they made their mind on everything, the group waited for Gray Fury to return with the now free slave before flying back to the volcano .
Formations and defenses began to appear on the surface of the underground area as Noah, and the others waited for their mainland to send the resources requested through the fissure .
Gathering the items wasn't a problem, but the mental messages took a while to traverse the void and reach the other Mortal Lands .
Meanwhile, the envoys improved their language and reviewed their strategy, while also completing the preparations that concerned their personal power .
The native was less talkative after he regained his freedom, but he still forced himself to solve any doubt that Noah and the others could have .
Four rank 4 cultivators in the liquid stage crossed the fissure a week after the leaders sent their message . Each faction had sent one of them to carry the defensive items, and the oath requested .
The envoys didn't waste time anymore at that point .
They left the volcano as soon as they swore that they wouldn't betray their Mortal Lands, nor hurt any of their teammates . The native was with them too . One of the cultivators from the Empire carried him so that their flying speed wouldn't be affected .
Noah and the others flew toward the area pointed by the native while avoiding his hometown since they aimed to speak directly with the rulers of the human society .
The first signs of civilization soon appeared below them . Long defensive walls stretched for kilometers and surrounded small towns . They marked a clear division between the two regions .
There didn't seem to be any being in the heroic ranks in those areas, but Noah felt an awful smell surrounding him and trying to affect his mental sphere . That sensation though wasn't shared by his companions who didn't even seem aware of that scent .
'It's something that targets only magical beasts . ' Noah quickly concluded in his mind and released part of his mental waves to destroy every trace of that smell from around him .
Those defenses weren't weak, but Noah wasn't only a magical beast . Countering them with the power of his mind was quite easy .
The envoys flew for days, and the towns under them became bigger as they reached for the center of that region .
Yet, Noah signaled to the group to stop when he sensed three rank 4 cultivators flying toward them .
The atmosphere became tense when the three natives stopped right in front of the envoys . However, confusion soon appeared on their expression when they saw the three cultivators kneeling toward them .
