Chapter 1214 Why Isn't She Leaving?

Everyone looked at Grey with curiosity, his face has always been something that has attracted attention wherever he went. There were a few female Elementalists in the place, and even though they were far older than he was, they seemed to show signs of actually falling for him. 

Not just the older ones, but of the three children of the golden robed man, one of them was a young lady who was in her early twenties, the sight of Grey's face dumbstruck her that she couldn't peel her eyes away from him. Only after being nudged by her brother did she regain her senses. She blushed slightly, but didn't say anything. 

The son of the Dawson Family head, as well as his companions looked at Grey coldly. They never thought that he would make it all the way here. Sensing his cultivation stage, they were thrown off their feet. It had only been a few months, but Grey had already grown this fast. If they heard that Grey was purposely slowing down his cultivation, they would never believe it. 

"Such a young fellow. I wonder what your name might be." The golden robed man was clearly intrigued by Grey. 

"I'm Grey, and this is my little sister, Cori." Grey introduced himself, as well as Cori. 

"You are a foreigner, correct?" The golden robed man asked. 

Grey nodded in reply to his question, he could already tell where the golden robed man was headed. 

"She's a native, how can you two be related?" The golden robed man asked the question Grey was expecting. 

"A long story, but she lost her family and I happened to stumble upon her then. With enemies prowling around her, I decided to take her with me." Grey didn't dive deep into his explanation, but those around could guess what might've happened. 

However, they all felt Cori was from a powerful family and they wanted to kill her, Grey stepped in and saved her, but decided to take her with him for her well-being. If they knew she was from a poor family, they would never believe it. 

One has to know that even the children of the golden robed man were still at the Sage Plane. None of them had gotten to the Peak, and the strongest was in the Ninth stage. The young lady, who was the second strongest, was in the Eighth stage. All three of his children were older than Cori with at least twelve years, yet she has a higher cultivation stage than they do. 

The golden robed man nodded and diverted his attention from Grey. After all, Grey was not the only one present, he was just about to address the people there when Grey arrived. 

He started, "Alright, I'll get straight to the point. As you all know, I need your help with something."

He looked at the faces of everyone and continued, "I know some of you are wondering why I would need your help when even someone with my strength is unable to get whatever I'm aiming for."

"Well, the answer is simple. I need the help of multiple people because what I'm fighting is not just one thing at the Peak of the Seventh Rank, but two creatures. I don't think they are Magical Beasts, but they seem to be constructs of some sort." I think you should take a look at

"This is the reason I requested such a large number of experts for help. Of course, the reward is bountiful and we will all get a share in it." 

After listening to the words of the golden robed man, some people fell into thoughts. There were quite a few people in the Ninth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane present. If these constructs can't use the elements as well as an Elementalist, then with twenty Ninth stage Elemental Venerables, they should be able to deal with it. 

At present, there were only eight Ninth stage Elemental Venerables, if they added the Eighth stage Elemental Venerables to it, their numbers would increase to twenty-three. But an Eighth stage Elemental Venerable is not as strong as a Ninth stage Elemental Venerable, so they would definitely need a few more weaker Elemental Venerables. 

"Do you know what the rewards are?" Someone asked. 

It was an Old man in the Eighth stage. He wanted to see if it was worth it to join hands with the golden robed man, and also the possible ways it would be shared. If the golden robed man had an idea of what treasures lie in store for them there, then they would arrange how it would be shared amongst them and then select the group leaving. 

The Ninth and Eighth Elemental Venerables are definitely going to go, the only people they needed to select from was the Seventh stage Elemental Venerables.

"Unfortunately, I do not. But do not fear, I won't take you for an expedition just to throw yours and my life away." The golden robed man said. 

"A few of us here know your reputation, so we will naturally trust you. But not everyone can go." The Old man in the Eighth stage said. 

"I didn't expect this much to come after the news." The golden robed man concurred with what the Old man was saying. When he let out the news, he didn't think this large number of people would arrive. 

Apparently, just like Grey, a few were traveling around and came over when they heard the news. The group from the Dawson Family did the same too. 

"Anyone below the Seventh stage of the Seventh Rank should leave the Hall, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. You can head over to my Inn and you will be treated well for the next few days." The golden robed man said. ????????.???

Those below the Seventh stage could only leave begrudgingly. Even though they wanted to join the team on the journey, they knew they were not as strong as the others. 

"Why isn't the girl leaving?" The son of the Dawson Family Head asked Grey. 

"Like I said, I'm all she has. Wherever I go, she goes." Grey's reply was calm, his demeanor one of extreme confidence.
