Chapter 391: 206
When the smoke and fog cleared, Ba Ke Yun fell from the sky, exuding terrifying oppression with every movement. This spectacle made the Lord exclaim in admiration for his strength, which was far superior to the average King Seat.
The Lord, who was well-informed, unreservedly said that Ba Ke Yun alone was as strong as ten King Seats. His strength was even comparable to a Complete King Seat. Given one or two more years, Ba Ke Yun might become a Half-Step Sovereign.
It was hard to believe that Logan, who had become unfathomable, also had such a powerful bodyguard. The Lord, who had been stuck at the Dominating Realm for a century, felt embarrassed. Maybe if he could also face the heavenly tribulations like Ba Ke Yun, he could have stepped into the legendary Holy See.
Ba Ke Yun knelt heavily before Logan and said, “I owe everything to you for becoming a King Seat. I swear to serve you with my life. Even if I have to go through hell, I don’t mind. After all, I never dared to dream I would experience the King Seat in my life.”
“Your efforts and courage are the reasons you became a King Seat. I just provided some help, so don’t ignore your hard work. Although I wanted you to be my bodyguard, don’t think of yourself as inferior. We should be more like friends.”
Logan waved his hand, thinking Ba Ke Yun was being too humble. He didn’t need to act this way in front of him. If Ba Ke Yun were a coward, no amount of laws and medicine provided by Logan would help.
After Ba Ke Yun’s breakthrough, Logan wanted to travel with him. This would increase their chances in the Ancient Instance and help them find more opportunities for breakthroughs. Otherwise, they would both remain stuck at a mid-high rank.
Logan brought up the idea to the Lord, “Your Lordship, we have been a bother in recent times. Our realms have been stabilized, and we plan to leave at first light. The path of cultivation is like this: if we are negligent, we may fall tremendously.”
When the Lord heard Logan was leaving, his first thought was to keep him. However, Logan’s departure felt reasonable, and he couldn’t force Logan to stay.
“Now the Capital City is stable, and the threat from the Grand Elder has been eliminated. You can rest assured in the future. Maintain a sense of danger and do not oppress the common people, and no one will be able to shake you.”
Logan smiled faintly, seeing the Lord’s concern, “Anyway, I won’t stay here forever. As a cultivator, I have to travel far along this path. Perhaps one day, I will become a Sovereign. On that day, I’ll return here to gather with you, and you should understand this.”
“I won’t stop you from leaving. However, your gratitude is heavy. Before you go, you must have a meal with me, and I’ll toast you three glasses of wine. Also, you can choose some treasures from my city’s vault.”
The Lord hesitated, but he understood that Logan’s talent should not be wasted here. He ruled over a million miles of territory, but he was only a small Lord in this ancient world. Rumor had it that more powerful Lords ruled over ten million miles of territory.
Some of those great Lords were said to be the Holy See, even though many people said there were no Holy See in the world anymore. However, as a Lord, he knew that many Holy See still existed, and Sovereigns, though seemingly unattainable, were weak in the Holy See’s eyes.
Logan shook his head, not wanting to linger, “Drinking is unnecessary since we’ve already been properly entertained. Today is already late, and we plan to leave early tomorrow. We’ll drink again if there’s ever a chance.”
“Very well. But have you thought about where to go? You can walk through my territory and move freely, but once you leave, there will be countless dangers. Even with a bodyguard in the King Seat Realm, the enemies outside are stronger than you think.”
The Lord asked with concern, hoping that Logan might already have some idea where to go. He could provide guidance and knew many of the surrounding Lords who could watch over Logan on his journey.
Logan stretched and replied, “I haven’t planned it yet. We will play it by ear and seize any opportunities we find.”
Logan responded this way because he had no destination in mind. He knew very little about the Ancient Instance and had set a goal for himself to strive for a breakthrough to the King Seat within the next year.
Secondly, even if he had a destination, Logan didn’t want to tell the Lord. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be under his surveillance? Once they decided to leave, they should cut off all connections to each other completely.
The Lord felt regretful but said, “In any case, if you encounter trouble, you can come back. I will help if I can. If I can’t, you can hide in my territory, where I can guarantee your safety.”
Logan smiled and nodded, seeing that the Lord’s words were sincere and that they truly considered each other friends. Their friendship was built on trust and character, even though they had not known each other long.
Early the next day, Logan and Ba Ke Yun left together. They used their divine powers to travel quickly, covering ten thousand miles in a few hours, and they had already left the Lord’s territory.
They arrived at a canyon, which was an abandoned area that no Lord wanted to control. The canyon was completely desolate, with no resources to speak of.
At the top of the canyon, a little boy kept retreating from a vicious-looking man wielding a large knife. However, Ba Ke Yun quickly intervened, used his divine power to cover a hundred miles in one leap, and saved the boy. With a flick of his finger, Ba Ke Yun sent the man flying.
As the man stumbled, he stood up and warned, “Don’t meddle in our affairs. The boy is targeted by our Mineral Water Sect. If you insist on protecting him, be prepared to pay the price.”
“Saviors, please leave. The Mineral Water Sect is the strongest sect nearby. They’ve always done evil here, and the entire canyon for a hundred miles is their territory. Their Sect Master has entered the Throne Realm and cannot be offended.”
The boy pleaded with Ba Ke Yun, saying that he wasn’t worth the trouble. The Mineral Water Sect may kill everyone in anger if they provoked them.
Ba Ke Yun sneered, flames of fury burning in his eyes, “I’m not afraid. If they dare to bully the weak, I’ll simply eliminate their whole sect. I can’t stand those who use their power to oppress others.”
