Chapter 828 Continuous Pursuit
Grey"s figure flashed through the sky as he hurried to the city close to the miasma. Even though he couldn"t sense the necromancer, he still didn"t want to take the risk of moving at a slow pace.
At this point, all his points would be dedicated to learning more about arrays. He couldn"t even take the risk of trying to gather the points and use them for a cultivation ground where Void would break through to the Sage Plane. If things didn"t go as planned, then he would use the treasure in his place, besides, it wasn"t like those from the Faction were going to steal it from him.
His only fear was that the powerful experts and some of the people in the Sage Plane would be able to peek into his house and find out that a cat was actually absorbing such a valuable treasure. This was one of the main reasons he wanted to use a cultivation ground since it was extremely secretive. According to what he heard, no one could peek into the place. He didn"t believe it completely since he didn"t know about the old experts hidden in the Faction grounds.
While Grey was rushing to the next city, the necromancer was moving through the sky at breakneck speed. He could tell that Grey was moving at a speed faster than his cultivation Plane. This was not what he found confusing, Grey should be dead, but all evidence indicates that he was alive which should be impossible since he entered the poison miasma.
After Grey entered the miasma, it was able to block out the connection with the mark. The miasma also had the ability to disrupt the sense of direction of an Elementalist after staying for too long.
The thought of this mark belonging to someone else came to his mind, but Grey was the only one he sensed within the past few days, and the direction of the mark was the same as the one where the miasma was located. This meant it was most likely the same person.
"I"ll enjoy killing that little brat." He muttered as he shot through the sky.
Grey, who was on the verge of escaping suddenly sensed a powerful aura rushing in his direction. He couldn"t help but twitch from fright.
"How could he return so early?" He was irritated, but he still continued rushing toward the city. He was already close to the city, and from what he knew, there was a teleportation array there. All he needed was to get there and he would be safe.
Luckily he didn"t encounter this man when he was coming here without any teleportation array, he would"ve been in danger of being killed when caught. Even his Fusion State will not be able to save him from the hands of a Sage Plane Elementalist, especially one that doesn"t seem to be in the Early stages. Those in the Early stages will find it difficult to break through Void"s domain, yet this necromancer did it with a single attack.
If he was in the Mid or Late stages, Grey couldn"t even dare to imagine the strength of the puppets he had with him. There would most definitely be a puppet in the Late stages or even the Peak of the Sage Plane. A single slap from that corpse would easily kill him, not even leaving any part of him.
Thinking up to this point, Grey brought out a second talisman and crushed it. He didn"t care how difficult it was for his Teacher to make them, its use had come.
His speed increased substantially after using a second talisman and he rushed toward the city.
A few minutes later, the visage of a city appeared before him. Without even pausing, he flew straight into the city. This was prohibited, but he should be able to escape punishment since he was part of the Pyrmond, and this area was within the jurisdiction of the Faction.
The second he flew into the city, he sensed the auras of some powerful figures in the Sage Plane. An idea soon came to him and he headed in that direction.
An old man appeared before him.
"Stop, flying in the skies of this city is prohibited." He said as he stared at Grey coldly.
"I"m a member of the Pyrmond Faction." Grey showed them his badge before heading to the ground.
The men followed him as well.
"I"m sorry, I was being chased by an Elementalist in the Sage Plane, I had no other choice but to fly over here." He apologized in a calm and collected manner.
The men looked at Grey, and looking in the direction he was coming from, they could sense a faint aura rushing in the direction of the city.
Looking at these men, Grey was able to quickly figure out that the strongest looked to be in the Mid stages of the Overlord Plane, he wasn"t a hundred percent sure of this, but he felt a sense of confidence in his judgment.
"Alright, we"ll confront whoever it is." The man said.
"I would like to use the teleportation array now." Grey said.
The men exchanged glances before replying, "You have to wait until we get verification of your story."
"That isn"t a good idea, I don"t want to complicate things for you." Grey said, still calm.
"I"m sorry, but you"ll have to wait."
Grey honestly didn"t want to bring any trouble to them, but since they wanted him to wait, he didn"t mind waiting. He knew these people felt he stole the badge and was running.
One thing most people outside the Faction didn"t know was that if the badge of a member of the Faction is not in a Faction member"s hand, it will automatically explode.
Grey could hand his badge to another Faction member that has a badge with him, but he couldn"t hand it to others. However, if the badge was placed on the ground, maybe during an attack or something, then it would stay in that spot until it was retrieved by the Faction or it explodes from another person touching it.
This is a fail-safe placed on the badges to ensure others wouldn"t be able to use it to access the Faction in any case where the original owner dies.
