Chapter 366: Various Factions
The astral realm was vast and boundless.
Somewhere in the astral realm, against a backdrop of deep, inky blackness, the activated Titan Core emitted a faint glow.
Three broken rings, irregularly shaped, surrounded the Titan Core, rotating as if slowly but actually with great speed.
Near the middle ring.
Over a dozen figures were locked in a standoff.
“The Luo Er Family?”
Witch Qie Li’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze sweeping over Julia and Theodore, siblings, her mood sinking slightly.
She hadn’t expected to encounter disciples of the nine great wizarding families here, and core bloodline members at that.
“That’s right!”
Julia smiled charmingly:
“Is Abyss Cabin declaring war on the Luo Er Family?”
“Miss Julia is joking.” Witch Qie Li gave a dry laugh, as a fourth-circle wizard, she had to put aside her arrogance in front of a ‘little girl’ who had just advanced to the third circle.
Everything stemmed from the reputation and strength of the Luo Er Family, an ancient family standing at the pinnacle of the Kalim Continent.
She took a deep breath and said slowly:
“The Viper Academy and Abyss Cabin have a complex history of grudges. The Luo Er Family has always stayed out of the conflicts between regional forces. I hope Miss Julia will step aside. We need to find Aksha to settle our score.”
“That won’t do!” Julia shook her head without hesitation:
“Dean Aksha of the Viper Academy is already an ally of our Luo Er Family. I cannot ignore this.”
“An ally?” Witch Qie Li narrowed her eyes:
“It’s not that easy to sign an alliance agreement. Besides, I’m afraid Miss Julia can’t represent the Luo Er Family either.”
“Then form an alliance with me.” Julia said:
“Is there a difference?”
Witch Qie Li’s expression darkened.
The others didn’t understand why Witch Qie Li was so set on killing Aksha, even to the point of risking herself and confronting the Luo Er Family.
Only she herself knew.
The leaders of the four major forces nearby all said that Aksha was the weakest and most timid, but in reality, he was the most secretive and definitely had other methods hidden, making him the one Witch Qie Li feared the most.
If Aksha didn’t die, she wouldn’t be at peace.
“Hah…”
Exhaling a long breath, Witch Qie Li slowly nodded:
“Understood!”
“Since Miss Julia insists on providing him with protection, then I have nothing more to say. But I advise you, Aksha is treacherous and cunning, definitely not a suitable ally.”
“Let’s go!”
She waved her hand lightly, and the wizard tower floating behind her released a burst of light, enveloping all her people, and they rushed towards the inner ring.
She had prepared for this action for hundreds of years.
During this time, she had even infiltrated several second-circle wizards into the Viper Academy to spy on the Titan Core’s situation.
Therefore, she believed that she knew better than Aksha how to enter the inner ring. What Aksha couldn’t do didn’t mean she couldn’t.
Behind her.
Watching Witch Qie Li and the others leave, Theodore stepped forward and whispered:
“This is troublesome. That woman is not easy to deal with. If she seizes the Titan Core, she might dare to kill us.”
Julia also put away her smile and nodded slowly.
“Abyss Cabin… Witch Qie Li…”
“She was originally a fourth-circle wizard and also carries a wizard tower with her. The key is that she seems to be hiding something…”
“But I’m not without my trump cards!”
Regaining her composure, she looked towards the inner ring:
“According to Aksha, like a wizard tower, the Titan Core also has a core hub. If we can refine it, we can become the new master of the Titan Core, and the core hub must be in the inner core.”
“To enter the inner core of the Titan Core, we must first obtain a pass and then find the correct path.”
“Let’s begin!”
“Yes!”
Behind her, three mysterious wizards wearing cloaks stepped forward, raising their hands and making strange gestures.
Soon.
Accompanied by a flash of light, the group ignored the surrounding space-time turbulence and headed straight for the inner ring.
From the outside, no one would think that the madman mentioned by Ron and the others was mentally unstable.
With his three-dimensional features, deep eyes, and long, sky-blue hair cascading down his back, the casually worn wizard’s robe on him seemed to elevate his status, making him look expensive.
Walter!
A fourth-circle wizard!
Aksha’s former companion.
He was wholeheartedly immersed in cultivation and deciphering the Titan Core, voluntarily giving the Viper Academy to Aksha. However, due to a lack of vigilance, after advancing to the fourth circle, he was feared by Aksha and designed to be trapped here for hundreds of years.
◈◈◈
“Do you know why Aksha didn’t kill me?”
Holding the staves provided by the group, Walter waved them around awkwardly, grinning:
“I bet you can’t guess!”
“Because I found a way to enter the inner ring. Aksha kept asking, but would I tell him?”
“No way!”
“Yes, yes.” Ron hurriedly nodded flatteringly:
“Senior, what do we do next?”
“Of course, we’re going to enter the inner core of the Titan Core. We discovered this place, how can we let Abyss Cabin get it so easily? Once I completely control the Titan Core, here I am the heavens, I am the upper main deity.”
“Huh?”
Just as he was shouting wildly, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look towards the inner ring:
“Someone actually got in!”
“It’s Witch Qie Li. How could she know the way in?”
“That…” Ron said softly:
“Senior.”
“It’s been several hundred years since you were trapped, and someone in the academy betrayed Aksha and joined Abyss Cabin. Perhaps Witch Qie Li also found a way in from the clues she obtained.”
?
Walter’s face darkened:
“Aksha, you useless trash, you have no ability yourself, and you even led outsiders in.”
“Let’s go!”
“We can’t let Witch Qie Li get there first, follow me!”
“Senior.” Ron and the others hurriedly followed:
“Witch Qie Li is a fourth-circle wizard. She might not be easy to deal with.”
“I understand.” Walter snorted:
“I have problems with my head, but I’m not stupid. After being trapped for hundreds of years, I’m definitely no match for her.”
“But…”
“This is the Titan Core. Although I don’t have Aksha’s level of control, I can borrow some of its power. Even if a fifth-circle wizard comes, I won’t be afraid.”
With a light wave of his hand, the space around the group shifted, and they were directly teleported onto a flying boat.
This scene also made those traveling with him breathe a sigh of relief.
That was for the best.
It seemed they hadn’t followed the wrong person!
…………
In a certain meditation chamber.
Aksha, who was originally poisoned and on the verge of death, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at a water mirror in front of him.
Witch Qie Li, Julia, and even the madman Walter and others were all reflected in the water mirror.
“Fight over it!”
“Snatch it!”
“Let me see your methods. Can you really enter the inner core? With three forces acting together, there should be a chance.”
“Hmm?”
His gaze shifted, and the scene of the treasure vault appeared on the water mirror.
“White Raven…”
“You actually brought outsiders to my treasure vault. It seems that no one is trustworthy, not even a pet I’ve raised for hundreds of years!”
“Have you discovered the problem?”
The few people in the water mirror were standing on the top floor of the wizard tower, observing the Primordial Embryo Divine Egg. Aksha took in all their changes in expression.
Clearly,
he had also guessed that they knew he was deliberately pretending to be weak and was not seriously injured.
“But…”
“What can you do?”
Aksha smiled faintly:
“Just a few minor characters, who won’t even have a chance to take the stage. Who will listen to your explanations?”
He shifted his gaze, letting go of these minor characters.
“Hmm…”
“As expected of a madman, he’s the most familiar with the Titan Core and actually entered the inner ring first.”
