Alex's mind was completely shut down now. He didn't think of anything else other than enjoying the situation.
Vesa watched everything from the side and let out a soft giggle, "It took a while, but finally, their relationship started to progress. I hope the King can quickly recover his emotions soon; that way, I am sure their relationship will progress even faster."
She then let out a sigh, "Master Alucard, I don't get the many limitations you put on me. If I could just tell them the truth...
Many things would change, and they wouldn't need to struggle ."
Meanwhile, Reina was now running with everything she had, "Uncle, how much farther? I think this is enough."
Moria's soul looked around, then flew to check the perimeter, making sure YangFei didn't come after them.
Reina shook her head at Moria's insistence, "Uncle is really paranoid. Just what did he meet?"
She then took a seat with her back against the tree.
With the direction they were going now, they were getting closer to the frontline area. Reina started considering whether they should go there or change direction again.
Going to the Zephyr clan was out of the question now with how Moria was acting; he would probably go all out to stop her.
Moria's soul then returned, "He's really gone," he said with relief.
"What do you suggest we do now, Uncle?" Reina asked, cutting to the case. "Should we find a compatible body for you first?"
"I know you'll reject this, but with the current situation, I think we should lay low. There are many new monsters appearing, attacking the town, and also that strange man."
"Since you know, why even say it? Uncle, your soul will keep getting weaker the longer you stay . And I don't have any artifact to keep it stable.
We should go to the nearby town and look for a body for you. Even though our main clan is decimated, we still have a branch nearby. Let's go there and regroup. And they probably have a backup body there."
"No, I don't want to take their body. We could just gather resources and create a new one. We have enough Qi crystals for that."
"Is it really that much?"
When they left, Moria had given almost all of the profit from the spice water to Reina. But she hadn't checked it and had only taken the storage ring.
"It's more than enough to start a new clan. That's why I say let's just stay low for now."
"And forget about my mother just like that? No!"
"Reina, that's not what I mean."
"Forget it, let's go to the nearby town. We need more information for now. I don't believe the information from that person, Yang Fei.
And if what you say is true, we need more people anyway. Bringing our side branch together is a must if we want to start again."
"You say that, but I am sure you just want to gather more people and then return to the Zephyr clan. That's suicide, Reina."
"Didn't you say we have the money? I am sure we can gather enough. It's not like we're coming to destroy the clan; I just wish to meet with her."
"You want to take her back with you; the meeting will not go peacefully."
Reina ignored Moria's words as she flew quickly, making her way. It didn't take long for them to see smoke rising high in the air.
Moria went first to check, telling Reina to wait for him, but this time she ignored him. She spread her senses far and wide, making every cultivator realize her presence.
She dared to do this because, based on her knowledge, there were no strong cultivators there, and looking at the smoke, it was clear a fight was happening now. Any strong cultivator would have already spread their presence by now.
"Is this the goblin that person mentioned?" Reina mumbled in confusion.
In the town, the array barrier kept rippling as it got bombarded by a rain of bullets.
The goblins were standing in formation, some holding a minigun that kept shooting while the others kept reloading the ammunition.
In another area, the goblin wolf riders were wielding spears, fighting against some cultivators. Energy clashed in the air as they were in the same realm.
Some of the stronger cultivators stood on top of the town wall, looking at the situation. They didn't join in since, on the opposite side, there was still a being that hadn't made any move.
The high goblin was floating in the air, calmly analyzing the situation; right now, his gaze was focused on the newcomers, Reina and Moria.
Based on her strength, the high goblin knew he could win if he focused all his army on her. With the high goblin's ability, numbers meant a lot. He could coordinate them to create many types of arrays that would put the cultivators in a pinch.
As long as the difference in strength levels wasn't much, then he had no fear.
Reina flew closer as she focused her Qi; she prepared to use her awakening skill to pierce through the goblin army and reach the town to regroup with her clan.
'None of my clan members came out to protect this town. I should punish them.'
"Madam, is your name Reina?" The high goblin asked in a polite tone.
"How could you know my name?" Reina asked in confusion.
The question also confused Moria, who had just returned to Reina's side.
"My king told me to tell you something if I ever met you."
"Yes, you are the Midnight Clan princess, right? My King wants me to tell you that your clan is safe, but you shouldn't try to return for now since the area around it is dangerous."
"Is your king's name Alex?" Reina asked in disbelief.
"Yes, if you want to find him, he currently resides in the Zephyr clan."
"Wait! You call Alex a king; doesn't this mean all of you are his people?"
