Poison God's Heritage Chapter 704: Loophole

Chapter 704: Loophole

Her eyes fixated on me as she replied, "Are you questioning my judgment."

"Nope," I shook my head.

"Then what reason is there for me to reply to your question?" she asked.

"Well, just in case that someone who failed managed to bring you back your handkerchief, how would you deal with that?" I asked.

Since this question didn't actually question her judgment and was nothing more than a simple question, it didn't breach her rule.

She thought for a moment and said, "Those circles, do you know what they are?" she asked.

"I was able to see it up close, so I have a guess," I said.

She frowned once again, "I do not like people who speak of things that they do not know," she said and I felt her Qi gathering up.

"Hold your horses Deep One!" the Lord of Lords shouted, "Before you do anything to him, wait for him to reply to you first!"

"It seems that that old man thinks highly of you, then speak, and let it be known that if you speak false then you will die."

Wow, anger issues, must be that time of the month… oh wait she's probably tens of thousands of years old… do cultivators enter menopause? Wait why am I thinking of that?

I shook my head and replied, "Thunder Protection, from what I could see. That circle has a lot of positive discharged laws. Probably to protect a cultivator from lightning."

The Qi that was gathered around her seemed to dissipate before she said, "Just because you figured out a part of it, does not mean that you will be pa.s.sed. After all, without this protection you can't survive in the Thunder Domain," she said.

"But just because I failed does not mean I can't retrieve it, after all, I have my own ways to protect myself from thunder and lightning," I replied.

She looked at me for a time and said, "Do whatever you want, but know that you shan't receive help from any of the suns. If you were to retrieve it, then you'll be the victor. Fail, and you will probably just perish in the lands of endless thunder."

She then threw a small disk on the ground.

The disk immediately s.h.i.+ned and opened up a teleportation gate. And from within the gate one could hear the endless booming of thunder in the distance.

"Go through the portal and retrieve my belongings," she said.

The group of fifty immediately jumped inside the portal leaving Zhang Tian and Dao Shen for last.

"Just go, I'll join you both soon," I said to them through divine sense.

As I was walking toward the portal the gate seemed to refuse me entry…

The Lord of Lords immediately flew towards the arena and said.

"You're not taking him?" he asked.

"He said he had his own ways, why should I take him," she said "Also without my mark he can't use the gate," she said.

"Then I should help take him, come with me," the Lord of lords said.

"No," she replied. "No sun is allowed to help him."

"You're making this difficult!" the Lord of Lords said.

"Gramps," I said to the Lord of Lords who seemed rather disturbed yet not too annoyed by the notion.

He smiled at me and said, "What is it, child?"

"No need to worry yourself about me. Also, just because I don't have the mark doesn't mean I can't use this teleportation gate." Discover tales on m_vl_em_p_yr

"You mean you can understand it?" he asked.

"Of course, not only that, I hope you don't mind me changing some things?" I asked the Blue Sun.

"Change? I admire your ambition but that's a Heaven-grade treasure you don't have the ability to understand it, not at your level." She said.

I smiled and replied, "Seems that I'm being underestimated a lot," I said and pulled up my brush.

The moment the Blue Sun saw my brush was the moment that the Lord of Lords facepalmed.

He sent me a Divine Sense message saying, "Why did you reveal you have that?!"

"Well, with me calling you gramps, you think anyone would dare take it away from me?" I smiled and began modifying some of the disk's formation.

"Ah you fool… if only you knew," he said sighing.

It didn't take more than a few seconds for me to be done and said, "Good as new. Now it should allow me in, also can I bring that guy over, he looks too pitiful to be left all by himself," I said addressing the slumping Law.

The Blue Sun sighed and said, "Do whatever you want, also Lording Sun, you said that you never saw where my brush went… it seems that we have some things to talk about…"

'Ah, that's why he didn't want me to show it… I guess it was hers…'

Well, I should probably go soon in case I end up in an ugly situation.

I hinted to Law to follow me.

For some reason, she failed him from obtaining the mark but I have an inkling of why.

Seeing his absurd luck level, I guess she thought he would manage to obtain the handkerchief by some unnatural means foiling the purpose of the compet.i.tion. But with me using a loophole in her "Rules" I'm able to use Law to my advantage.

Law hurried to my side and followed after me as we both entered the gate.

We immediately found ourselves in a ma.s.sive open plain and far ahead of us were dozens of cultivators flying forward as fast as possible towards the high peaks of the mountain range in front of us.

"Why did you take me with you?" Law asked.

"Well, you looked really sad there when you failed for no reason," I said.

"And you just took pity on me?" he asked.

"A bit, also I need your luck to find the handkerchief," I said.

"What if I don't want to give it back once I find it?" he asked.

"We'll cross that bridge once we get there," I replied with a shrug.

Law couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, we need to hurry up then, because we're very late," he said pointing at the fact that we're actually the last in this race.

"Don't worry about that, I said as I summoned my s.h.i.+p.

Law's eyes opened wide.

"Oh it's the s.h.i.+p! I always wanted to see what's inside it!"

"Be my guest then, let's get in," I said.
