Chapter 737
The first interaction with the heroic cultivators of that world surprised the envoys, who simply analyzed the trio that had reached them in the sky .
They quickly discovered that the three men didn't have a dantian, but they still radiated an aura that only heroic cultivators could have .
'How do they even fly?' Noah thought before moving his attention to their feet .
The natives stood on platforms made of condensed "Breath", but that energy didn't come from inside their bodies . They used their mental waves to force it to gather under them in that form .
'It doesn't seem to stress their minds so much . ' Noah evaluated . 'Maybe the weight on their mental spheres is connected to their expertise in the inscription method . '
Noah had started to gather data about their techniques even in that peculiar situation .
The three cultivators soon straightened themselves, but Faith steeped forward before they could say anything and gave voice to a request . "We wish to see a representative of the Duron Bloodline . "
Her sudden action saw the approval of the others in her group . It was clear that the cultivators with two centers of power held them in high regard, so it was wise to use that chance to hasten the meeting .
Faith's beauty had forced her to become experienced in handling political matters to avoid issues that could put her in dangerous situations or enrage famous characters inside and outside the Council .
She had been able to understand how valuable her group was in the eyes of the natives and find the approach that exploited that before her companions .
The natives were taken aback by her sudden request, and they revealed signs of struggle through their expressions as the pondered about the matter .
"What is it?" Faith asked when she saw that the natives limited themselves to speak through their consciousnesses, and she even showed a bit of annoyance .
The three of them stopped their mental discussion when they saw her expression, and one of them stepped forward to answer . "I don't want to be disrespectful, but…"
The native turned glanced at his companion, who simply nodded at him to give him some confidence, and the former finished his sentence with a question . "Who are you?"
"We are explorers arrived from far away . " Faith didn't hesitate in her answer, but she didn't reveal any detail .
The matter of the different world was something that could be discussed only with cultivators of a specific knowledge . There was a high chance that the natives in front of them would just react poorly when they revealed the amazing feat that their world had been capable of .
However, that answer wasn't enough to satisfy the trio .
It was clear that they were trying to be as respectful as they could, but there was an evident struggle inside them that forced them not to trust the envoys .
"All the humans outside of our walls are either dead or exiled . " The man said . "Does this mean that you are descendants of criminals?"
The atmosphere became tense as soon as the native gave voice to that question .
Noah and the others expected that lack of trust, but linking them to potential criminals so soon wasn't something that they could have predicted . After all, humans with three centers of power were held in high regard in that world . So, no one considered the possibility that some of them had been exiled in the past .
Even Faith felt that the situation had become too troublesome to handle with simple words, and she limited herself to stare at the trio that didn't show any fear .
