Two days after Lothur's passage through the Welzel family city...
On Leopoldine's border with Utrary and Cesha, a group of three Saints from one of those states were traveling toward the target that had appeared to them days ago.
These people belonged to a large family from Cesha, in search of their young master, who had disappeared without a trace 97 years ago.
However, in the last few days, not only the sign of this young master's soul had suddenly disappeared, marking his death, the sign of one of his items had reappeared!
After 97 years of no signals, the tracking device in that man's things had left its 'invisibility' and signaled its position.
Where was it?
Such a thing was moving through Leopoldine, heading towards the northeastern part of this state!
This group knew that their young master was dead, but they traveled as fast as they could to find out where their young master had been all these years, how he had died, and who had his things!
"Who would have thought Karlo was in this damned state all this time..." One of the three said, regretting that his young master had fallen into such a weak place.
"I wondered how he remained invisible to us for so many decades... The patriarch even sent investigators to the northern continent, thinking he had been taken there."
"But all this time, he was so close to us." The strongest of them, level 20, commented in a crestfallen manner. "But we will avenge Karlo. As much as we failed him in life, we won't make the same mistake in death!"
"Yes!"
"We will avenge the young master's death!"
They continued to move through the vacuum of space, going toward the trail being emitted by one of their young master's items.
"Just be careful of their fluctuations. I have heard that there are strong families in this empire that live secretly in these lands. So avoid drawing attention."
"OK."
...
Two more days passed...
After four days of traveling, Lothur and his group finally crossed the border of Linn Province!
By now, they were flying towards Peters City, not far from where they were.
Arriving in the vicinity of this place, Lothur told his group to slow down their speed and altitude.
"We're going to land in that forest near the city. I want your group to stay in that area for now so we don't attract attention." He said to those 100 fugitives from the Imperial Prison.
He then stopped manipulating the space in his surroundings, making his entire group appear to the world as they were about to land in the vicinity of that forest.
However, when Lothur stopped manipulating the space in the surroundings, he suddenly realized that several humans were building something near where he had landed with his group.
'What is it?'
He wondered as he looked in that direction, seeing an underground headquarters that had not existed there weeks ago and was by no means small.
But as he watched and his men stood silently waiting for his words, he saw some spiritual fluctuations in that place he already knew.
'Elke?' His eyebrows drew together, and he couldn't help but wonder what she was doing there.
"Wait here. I will see something further on."
Rebecca clenched her fists, wanting to keep up with him, but didn't say anything in time when he had already disappeared from this group.
Ice sat on the ground after getting off those who had carried it there and breathed in the air of that forest. 'Ah, home at last.'
...
As he approached the group working in a nearby underground construction, Lothur immediately canceled his aura, put a mask on his face, and a hood to hide his hair.
He then walked towards the entrance of that place, where several armed men were standing around as if they were merely camping in the area.
But inside the largest tent of that camp was the entrance to the underground headquarters being built there.
"Hey, to the north. Someone is approaching." One of the mercenaries hired by Elke, Viktoria, and Annaliese shouted, drawing the attention of his companions in the surrounding area.
Then three men ran toward Lothur, sensing that he was only a mortal and that it would be easy to stop him.
"Hey buddy, this is our camp. You can't just walk in as you please..." One of the men said this as he tried to grab one of Lothur's arms.
But as he was about to reach for this moving target, this person felt something supernatural acting on his body and strangely fell to the ground as he felt like a rock had fallen on top of him.
The other two already near Lothur felt forces acting on them and either fell like that other one or were thrown far away.
Quickly several of the warriors in the surrounding area realized that this person was powerful and started running towards him, already with weapons in their hands.
But as Lothur walked to that place relatively slowly, Elke sensed that something was happening and climbed several flights of stairs until she reached the entrance to the future Ritter family headquarters.
When she arrived outside in that forest, she immediately saw all the men in the surrounding area lying on the ground, struggling even to breathe.
"Who are you?" She shouted at Lothur without identifying him. "Why are you acting against us?
Lothur looked at Elke and saw her status.
[Name: Elke Becker]
[Soul Cultivation: level 16]
[Body Cultivation: level 15]
[STR: 218.3] [CON: 387] [DEX: 210.4] AGI: 219.1]
[INT: 57.7] [PER: 45.5] [WIL: 137] [SOU: 310.9]
Immediately after that, he was silent, grinning from beneath his mask.
He was happy for his woman's progress in his absence, but he said nothing, planning to surprise Elke.
'Come to me!'
With that thought, he reached out to the 100 fugitives from the Imperial Prison, causing them to move toward him.
Within seconds of encountering this man acting against her group, Elke became increasingly fearful, noticing that his power was not simple.
Some of the strongest cultivators in Peters City were in her group, but no one in the area was a match for this man. Not only that, he alone could immobilize them without even moving!
"Miss Elke, what are you..." The patriarch of the Koch family finally caught up with Elke, coming out from inside that building.
But when faced with that situation, he immediately swallowed his saliva dry and shut up.
A second after he and three other allies of Lothur in the Ritter Motor Company appeared outside the main tent of that camp, 100 men appeared on the outskirts.
They circled the area, some on the ground while others floated in the air.
Seeing and feeling the strength of these people, Elke's group almost fainted in terror, seeing 100 Transcendents, some even at the peak of level 17.
"That..."
"How can that be?" Gomeric began to feel his whole body trembling, not believing that such an impressive force had surrounded them.
Gulp!
'Who is that? Why are they here?' Elke no longer questioned, feeling that they were lost if the intentions of the newly arrived group were evil.
But then Rebecca arrived in that place along with a white fox, spoiling Lothur's game.
He saw Elke looking in the direction of these two and sighed.
"Elke, I'm back. Did you miss me?" Lothur said in a cheerful tone as he took off the mask over his face and the hood over his head.
"Lothur!"
