Is that a Wisp?

However, Laex and Ruik didn't seem concerned, though. It was as if they were already expecting this outcome.

The moment Liriu arrived in front of those three, he began to laugh out loud.

"Hahaha! Today is my victory again!"

One of the cultivators gritted her teeth as she pointed at Liriu.

"That was not fair! You said that you wouldn't use your Supernova this time!"

Her name was Yuliva Hretkin, a female cultivator who came from another Universe to participate in this Holy Land. She was the cultivator at the 5th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm.

The demon beast and the other cultivator nodded while showing upsets expressions.

"He's right!"

"That was shameless!"

The male cultivator was Jivo Karlie, who was from Dalin. He was in the one in the 6th Stage of the same Realm.

In the Demon Beast's case, his race was called Klekindillo. He came from another Universe as well, just like Yuliva. He had the Highest cultivation between the group, being at the 7th Stage of the Soul Forging Realm. As for his name, it was Roggo.

Liriu just laughed, though.

"You can thank my Uncle and Father for this. Hahahaha!"

In the past, Liriu didn't have the heart to act like this. But as things got worse, he had to learn how to put Laex and Ruik's teachings to good use. Sure enough, he looks quite similar to those two now.

"We don't even know where this Uncle and Father that you talk so much are, how can we complain to them?"

At the same time, Krune and the others looked at Laex and Ruik with weird faces.

"Cough, cough. We might have taught him a little thing... or two... maybe three..."

Tiane's mouth twitched, though.

"Ruik was already shameless enough, but I could still hold his reins. But when Laex was added to the mix, I'm not surprised that Liriu turned out like this. You two are better to be prepared for the punishment later."

Laex and Ruik felt a chill on their backs and quickly changed the topic.

"Anyway, did you see his Tribulation Fire? Isn't that amazing? As expected of my nephew, he didn't disappoint me."

"What are you saying, that was my kid, so it was obvious that he could do this much!"

Everyone sighed. Sure enough, these guys had no shame whatsoever.

"Anyway, let's go there and see how he is doing."

"No!"

However, Ruik immediately stopped everyone.

"Why?"

Laex also nodded, though.

"Ruik is right, we shouldn't go there."

Tiane was about to explode in rage. How dare they stop her from finally get reunited with her child?

Still, Laex and Ruik kept looking at that Liriu. They simply couldn't see the least bit of his previous naivety anymore.

"Maybe, leaving him alone was the right thing to do. We should leave. Besides, it seems like he had made his own group already. He isn't that little guy who needs our help anymore."

Tiane immediately refused, tears flowing from her eyes. Still, she quite understood what they meant.

"But what if they try to trick him. How can you trust those 'friends' of him that easily?"

Ruik and Laex sighed after seeing that. They, too, wanted to go see him. But they couldn't force themselves to do so.

"Whether we can trust or not is not the problem. The issue here is if Liriu can judge others well enough to put his trust in them. It matters little if they betray Liriu latter. After all, it will become one more experience in his life. For the sake of his own future, we should not intervene. The Holy Land is dangerous, but at the same time, it is a great opportunity. He... is strong enough to take care of himself now."

Tiane looked at Liriu, who was so close to her. But as much as she didn't want to admit, it was evident that Liriu had matured a lot. However, they could still feel that his kind heart was present. Even though he was quite shameless as well.

"I..."

Ruik then embraced his Tiane.

"I know, so you don't need to say it. If we bring Liriu with us, we might prevent misfortunes to fall over him, but that will only make him into a cowardly demon beast in the future. We already know that he is fine and strong, let's just trust him."

Heavin had been hearing everything so far, so he couldn't help but comment.

"But what about his Dracophoenix Bloodline? Is it really okay to leave it like this?"

Laex laughed out loud, though.

"Hahaha! There is no need to worry. You are not a dragon, so it is obvious that you can't tell."

Krune thought about a possibility.

"Wait, could it be..."

Laex nodded.

"It's as you thought exactly. Even though we are this close, I can't feel the least bit of Liriu's Dracophoenix Bloodline. The only moment I could feel anything was when he was in the middle of the battle, and even so, it was only faintly. It seems like Liriu can already control his bloodline's power to prevent its presence from leaking out."

Everyone was happy to hear that. As long as Liriu can hide his bloodline presence, that is good enough.

"It's good that he doesn't need the bloodline seal anymore. Like this, he can bring out his full combat power anytime he really needs."

Ruik then patted Tiane's head.

"You see? There is nothing to worry about. Well, there is, but it is not as bad as it could be. Let's leave, okay?"

Tiane nodded, although unwillingly.

Krune then looked at Feifei.

"You know..."

However, Feifei cut him right there and then.

"It's okay. I know what you mean."

She then looked at Fie and called her over. Until now, Krune's group was only communicating through Divine Sense messages, but this time, she talked with her words.

"Fie, you should stay with Liriu from now on."

Fie was taken aback by that.

"But... I don't want to get separated again."

Fie's eyes immediately teared up, which made Feifei tear up as well. However, after seeing how much Liriu has matured, Feifei and Krune admitted that Fie was lacking precisely the same thing. She had stayed with Little Arty all the time. After she left the Origin Realm, she immediately encountered with Krune, who kept her safe. Simply put, Fie hasn't had any real-life experience yet. The couple knows that sooner or later, that will become Fie's most significant flaw.

Krune might not like killing. But when there is really a need for that, he doesn't hesitate. Feifei was also the same. However, Fie had never really killed anyone. To be more specific, she had never had a need to do so. The universe isn't filled with good people and demon beasts only, so it was time to let Fie experience it.

"I know, but you must. Or could it be that you wish to leave Liriu alone? You are like brother and sister, aren't you?"

Fie nodded.

"Then you should know that Liriu will need your help in the future too. Mommy and Dad can't do, it has to be you."

"But..."

"Your mother is right."

Surprisingly, the one who said that was Lala!

"Lala..."

Lala nodded before looking at Fie.

"If you really want to become as strong as your mother, father, or even me, then you need to learn how to take care of yourself. At the moment, you are depending too much on them. It is time for you to create your own path."

Tiane and the others also nodded. They also think that it was time for Fie to go out alone. She has similar cultivation to Liriu's, so this is the best place to let her go.

Feifei caressed Fie's rainbow-like hair while saying.

"If you really trust your dad and me, then you should do as we say. Don't worry, we will meet again once the Holy Land is over."

At this moment, Little Arty began to float, quickly removing itself from Fie's neck. He then landed on Feifei's one instead.

"There will be no point if I follow you as well, so I'll be staying with your mother. However, if you need to talk with me, just focus on our connection. I'm your artifact spirit, so you can communicate with me at any time. It's just that if this isn't something urgent or cultivation related, I won't say a single word."

Fie was taken aback. She thought she should be happy that Little Arty wouldn't be forcing her into training anymore, but in fact, she felt quite sad instead.

"Okay..."

Suddenly, arcs of Purple Lightning began to come our of Krune's body. A second later, they entered Fie's instead.

Seeing that, Krune couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems like your uncle Light Spirit is quite worried about you."

"Hmph!"

Light Spirit didn't even bother to answer that comment.

Obviously, Light Spirit had left a protection measure behind, just in case. In fact, he even used quite a lot of Purple Tribulation Lightning Essence. This was the first time Krune had ever seen Light Spirit spending so much essence with someone other than him.

Feifei then kissed Fie's forehead.

"Alright, off you go. Also, if Liriu asks anything, just say that you were traveling alone and found him by coincidence."

Fie couldn't help but ask.

"What if he doesn't believe me?"

Krune and the others couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Don't worry, your ability to pretend is not the least bit weaker than your mother. You two are experts at this. Liriu and his friends will definitely believe you."

Feifei glared at everyone else after hearing that.

"Are you guys looking for a beating?"

Everyone talked a little more with Fie before they finally let her go. It was time for this 14 years old girl to spread her wings.
