Cain faintly smiled as he turned over to the black sword cultivators. He could see the fear in their eyes. His Divine Sense perceived their bodies tensing tightly as if they were ready to face impending death.
But Cain still spoke in his casual tone. "Don't worry. I won't take much more of your time. I simply wanted to ask about this Wizard Kun and see if you all have any varying opinions about him."
The black sword cultivators stayed a bit on guard. But some amount of relief flowed through them.
It was more than obvious if Cain wanted to, he could not only just kill them but also the six-robed cultivators in an instant.
Not a single person could resist his Divine Law suppression. At the very least, the black sword cultivators knew they had a chance to talk.
The three of them simultaneously bowed. The group leader of the black sword cultivators spoke up in a grateful tone, "First of all, we are grateful for sir's timely intervention. Wizard Kun and his followers have a certain reputation. Quite a fearsome one, in fact. Even his followers have this mysterious ability to convince people with or without their consent. The same would've happened to us."
"Oh? That's a bit interesting. That requires the usage of the soul. Just how fearsome is this Wizard Kun's reputation?"
Cain felt his curiosity increase more and more. It was a true wonder he could even come across a scenario like this across the Wintry world.
"I cannot say anything about Wizard Kun's reputation for forming half-step or even true Holy King masters. But it is widely known that his Law mastery is terrifying enough for him to effortlessly kill Holy King masters at two minor boundary stages above him. Unless it's a particularly powerful low-tier Holy Land, nobody wants to provoke him."

That only proved to further Cain's confusion. He asked, "So if he's so terrifying, why hasn't Wizard Kun appeared on the ranking of the Divine Decree Lord? For that matter, in Atlas City, I don't believe I've read such a name in their record books."
"Haah..." The group leader sighed. "That's the thing. Wizard Kun is very crafty. He doesn't dare to leave his region. And not many know how to even get into his territory. It's as if he chose a perfect hidden world to avoid all other detections. Furthermore, he's known to be an expert at suppressing news and evidence of his greater talent. Since holy intelligence networks have a difficult time proving his existence, the more mainstream news tends to treat it as a hoax, just a mere rumor. It really is too strange. Even Primal Soverigen grandmaster, who was faintly curious about these rumors, turns up with nothing about Wizard Kun."
'Escaping detection from a grandmaster?' Cain slightly furrowed his brows.
He was more than aware of the almighty force of a grandmaster. They seemed practically impossible to avoid, even with the mystical force of Chaos energy.
Cain soon tossed his gaze behind, analyzing that mysterious forest the brown robe cultivator retreated into. "Are you telling me no one had managed to gain a single clue while exploring deep into this forest? It seems like a big clue on where Wizard Kun is hiding."
The group leader sighed once again. "Naturally. But the results always turn up negative. This seems more like a random forest than anything else."
Perhaps if Cain didn't have Chaos soul sense, this place would just seem like an average forest. But his Chaos soul sense told him better.
A magical barrier covered the entirety of this mysterious forest. Various energy principles exuded from the barrier.
Not just of Dao Law forces. But also from Spirit energy Laws!
It was a true fusion between the Martial Great Daos and the Spiritual Great Dao. Even if it doesn't result in an ultimate attacking force. Its other abilities were bound to be strange and mysterious to the typical divine cultivator.
Cain felt enough of an interest already. He casually waved off the black sword cultivators, telling them, "Alright, I had my questions answered. You all can carry along with your own business. I have other things to take care of."
His gaze had never let off the mysterious woods. It was evident to see where Cain's interest lay.
The black sword cultivators were slightly hesitant. At the very least, Cain did save their lives, whether he cared or not.
The group leader felt it was a common obligation to speak up. He tentatively said, "Just one more thing, sir. While this isn't a problem for the more powerful Holy King masters and Primal Sovereign grandmasters. There do exist rumors in which those lower realms end up completely missing once stepping into this forest. It would do good to be careful."
"Mn." Cain barely regarded the warning. He quickly went deep into contemplation, causing the outside world to practically not exist around him.
The black sword cultivators could only sigh while shaking their heads. Black sword lights glisten out of their bodies. Rules of space weakened around them.
The trio didn't hesitate as they flew off in the opposite direction. They quickly traversed hundreds of meters in mere seconds.
As they went further away from Cain, the other black sword cultivators became increasingly confused.
That whole moment was deeply imprinted into their souls. One of them just had to ask their group leader, "Say? That guy...he's evidently some extreme genius from a high-tier Holy Land. But do you think he actually has the prowess to contend with a Holy King master? I'm not sure why, but it just feels like he's far more terrifying than any Divine Ruler in existence."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I have no idea whether or not he can contend with Holy King masters." The group leader helplessly sighed. "But one thing is for sure, extreme geniuses like them tend to get their way no matter where they go..."
At this time, back with Cain, he had already put the black sword cultivators out of his mind.
All of his focus stays in the mysterious forest. His pupils radiated unfathomable Chaos lights. His gaze could seemingly pierce through layers of formations, allowing him to see the core of anything.
Cain was certainly intrigued. But he wasn't going to jump right into uncharted territory.
The Chaos soul sense could easily bypass the Martial-Spirit barrier concealing the mysterious forest.
Spreading wide and far for any hint of danger, his Chaos soul sense managed to reach a reasonable distance. Not a hint of danger jumped out to Cain.
The whole area seemed practically harmless to him.
Of course, harmless is relative to Cain's sense of danger.
There were still a number of powerful Dao beasts threatening enough to any other Divine Ruler expert.
Still, without the threat of a higher stage Holy King master, Cain got rid of his hesitation.
He took an invisible step forward. Space broke beneath him. Chaotic Teleportation instantly teleported Cain through the Void Space.
Not just Void Space. Chaotic Teleportation transferred Cain right through the Martial Spirit barrier!
