Chapter 601 - To The Blue Wind Empire

The group walked towards the town, joking around.

Alice suddenly asked the important question, "What now?"

"I can't really say for now. My original plan was to take you three with me to the Aurora Continent, given your present elemental grades, you all wouldn't have a problem with quickly advancing there," Grey told them his plans.

"I have no problems with that," Klaus said.

"Same here," Reynolds agreed with Grey's plan.

"You all don't have any problems with leaving, but I do," Alice said.

"Didn't you say your father agreed to hide with the rest of your family?" Klaus asked.

"Yeah, but I can't freely leave with the present situation. If it were before at least I'll know the Emperor wouldn't try to harm them, but now, the case is a little complicated," Alice said, a little worried for her family's safety.

"Hmm, that might be a cause for worry, but they should be fine, right?" Grey asked with uncertainty.

"I can't say for sure. If any of them were to be caught, it will mean the others will most likely come out to help as well," Alice said.

"What do we do about it now?" Klaus asked.

"The Principal is the only one in the Sage Plane expert on our side, so there's no way we can fight against them head-on. If the Azure Empire weren't looking for us as well, we might've teamed up with them. But presently, we're hunted by all, having no allies, not even from our empire. Although I'm acquainted with the Lenz organization, there's no way they would want to go against the four empires because of me," Grey accessed their options, and to be honest, it wasn't really good.

The expression of the others turn sour, Reynolds and Klaus were especially angry.

"Who even found out about you acquiring the Great Earth Essence Liquid?" Klaus complained.

"I have no idea, I can ask old man Gerald for help with that though. But that really isn't our main concern," Grey replied.

"Well, I'd like to have a heart-to-heart talk with whoever the person is," Klaus said.

"That person is the cause of all our worries, it's only right we paid whoever it is a visit," Reynolds added.

"We'll talk about that later, for now, settling the issue with Alice's family comes first," Grey said.

"You're right, but I just want to make sure we put that person at the back of our minds," Klaus said.

"We should go back to the Principal for now and hear what he says," Alice suggested.

.

Back at the town.

"You shouldn't worry about them, they wouldn't come out so quickly after just going into hiding," The Principal said.

The four youths nodded to the Principal's words.

"So what now?" Klaus asked.

Staying under the waterfall alone for days made him extremely bored, if he doesn't do anything exciting soon, he might go crazy.

"We should head over to the location we agreed to rendezvous with Blake and Delia," The Principal said.

The four youths stared at each other, helpless. Moving with the Principal will restrict them, well, only Klaus and Reynolds since they wouldn't be able to do anything crazy.

"Alright," Grey and Alice nodded.

Klaus and Reynolds agreed begrudgingly. It wasn't like they had any choice.

"Good, we'll be leaving tomorrow," The Principal smiled.

The four of them nodded before getting up, just as they were about to leave, the Principal told Grey to stay behind.

"Have you been able to find out anything about Chris?" The Principal asked.

"Nothing, I asked old man Gerald to help me with it as well, but he found no traces of him. I think there's a chance that he must've left the continent," Grey said.

"Left the continent?" The Principal asked, Grey's words piqued his interest.

This was the first time he was hearing of someone leaving the continent.

"Yes, I could be wrong as well. But since he couldn't be found here, that's most likely the case" Grey went on to tell the Principal of the Aurora Continent.

The Principal was someone he trusted, so there was no need in hiding it from him.

"There's another continent?" The Principal lost his previous calm expression.

If what Grey is saying was accurate, then it was an eyeopener.

Grey nodded to his question.

After getting confirmation from Grey, the Principal couldn't help but chuckle softly, "To think there's a bigger world out there, and these fools are fighting for control over here,"

Grey didn't go into too many details, but he told the Principal of the higher cultivation stages, as well as the higher elemental grades.

Hearing about youngsters who were already at the Mid stages of the Sage Plane, the Principal was beyond stunned. If not for Grey's help, he wouldn't have broken through to the Sage Plane by now, yet, there were people who were only a few years older than his son and are already stronger than he was.

"If I find out Chris is there, I'll probably kill him," The Principal said, green with envy.

What did all Elementalist desire? To grow stronger!

If they were to find a place where they could quickly advance, they would all go there. This is the reason why the trial land was highly sought after. Sending youths with great potential there will give them the chance to bloom.

From Grey's words, the elemental essence in the Aurora Continent was higher and denser than that of the trial land.

Grey compared the purity from the areas he had reached in the trial land. According to what was said, the deeper one goes into the trial land, the purer the elemental essence, but from the area he stopped, the Aurora Continent was better than the trial land in respect to elemental essence.

Grey went to meet up with his friends after speaking with the Principal a little longer. The Principal asked if he had found his parents as well, and he told him the answer.

The Principal suggested there was a possibility they might be in the Aurora Continent which was the same as Grey's thoughts.

That day soon came to an end.

.

The next day.

The group prepared themselves to travel with the Principal, and just before they left the town, a terrible news got to them.. Instructor Blake and Delia had been caught by warriors from the Blue Wind Empire.
