Chapter 45
However, soon after Dana walked a good distance away from the Inn that smile dropped, becoming a cold look.
She knew long ago there was something wrong about those girls but this just confirms it, as she soon noticed the man following her ever since she left the Inn.
In fact, she had been suspicious for a while as whoever has arranged him to follow her has been very discreet in their attempts for them to not notice their presence, whilst thinking of how they found her, she later found the true reasoning behind this situation, as everyone which had to enter the Town were required to show their faces to the guards.
Noticing this peculiarity Dana felt it was very unusual, but putting it within the back of the mind Dana easily entered without alerting the guards.
How did Dana accomplish this?
Normally, these guards would be looking for Qi fluctuations, as for a cultivator to get over the wall without the notice of the guards, they would need to use their Qi to either propel themselves up or to levitate, which uses up a large amount of Qi.
Either way, they would be easily detected as each Town or City will have at least have an artefact or someone capable or finding such people which use this method to bypa.s.s the gates, this is needed as there are many rogue cultivators or criminals which could cause havoc if left unrestrained.
But, as Dana used a secret in which she had been practising for a while, which is s.h.i.+fting parts of her human body into her Frost Wyvern form, thus she grew wings on her back and flew over the wall easily, with the guards none the wiser.
Soon enough Dana found the whole searching thing even weirder, as the guards didn't seem to be looking for a rogue cultivator but an attractive woman, as instead of focusing on males, they instead paid particular attention towards the woman and inspected every one that pa.s.sed, this made Dana feel that somehow this situation has something to do with her.
So, Dana made a gamble by showing her true appearance in order to reveal the truth behind this plot, and as Dana expected upon seeing her appearance the guards eyes lit up slightly, as if they were pleased about something, even though they attempted to conceal their reactions, it was still noticed by Dana, before they allowed her to go within the Town without stopping her further.
Confirming that they were looking for her, Dana discovered soon after she met the group of young cultivators, which she again found highly suspicious, as it was too coincidental within the timing of the guards seeing her appearance, in addition to the entirety such a large Forest they somehow ran into her out of all people.
But, even if they did, geniuses such as them which obviously had a large background would be heavily protected upon leaving the Sect, with also them being too deep within the Forest in the first place for their cultivations, which even an idiot wouldn't be that foolish to go looking to die by travelling within such a place that out of their league knowing full-well they don't have the required capabilities to protect themselves at all.
With the addition of this factor, she has already become highly suspicious of both girls, and the way in which they both followed her continuously, showing far too much kindness towards a stranger finally
As even if they had this kind of character, it still wouldn't justify them being that caring towards her, a stranger for no reason at all?
It doesn't make any sense to treat a stranger so intimately even if they saved their lives, and for someone which had seen true selfish side of humans, she knew that no one would be this compa.s.sionate towards someone you haven't met.
Deciding she is going to unravel this whole plot, Dana soon loses the man tailing her, before soon finding the girls which seem to be walking with caution, with them continuously checking behind them if there is someone following them, before they eventual found a familiar person which caused even Dana to lift her eyebrows in scepticism.
Princess Hui Ying?
Thinking back to her meeting with that woman an unpleasant feeling suddenly emerged within her mind, removing her desires to kill her right now, she utilised the technique she has been using to hide her cultivation to the fullest, completely hiding from the detection of the group.
Although this technique wasn't the best, as at the time she bought from the system within the Azure Continent with a limited amount of soul points, so it wasn't the best calibre technique available from the system, but it was still by far profound enough to deal with individuals with lower cultivations than her.
Upon seeing the girls, Princess Hui Ying grinned maliciously before saying, "So has that wench followed on what I expected of her as I planned?"
Seeing Princess Hui Ying sinister look, the girls instinctively s.h.i.+vered before saying, "Yes Princess, she will meet us within a month before entering the secret realm."
Happy at Dana falling for her scheme, she soon began telling her on what she wants them to do towards Dana, unknowingly telling the person which is intended for the plot right before her eyes.
The killing intent within Dana's eyes grew to a horrifying level as they revealed what they previously had planned for her, but she soon hid this within the depth of her eyes.
If just goes ahead and kill them now, the others involved within this plot will obviously know what she did, thus actually making end up with even more danger upon entering the secret realm, although she wasn't afraid of no one, from the words of Princess Hui Ying even though anyone with Rank 1 Core Formation Cultivation or above are not permitted to enter within the Secret Realm including Chao Sung, that doesn't mean he hasn't got any lackeys which are at the Xiantian Rank 7 or 9 Cultivation, which at the moment it will be troublesome for her to deal with.
As Dana at the moment doesn't want to be dragged into a dogfight with these people as a result of her losing control of her emotions by killing Princess Hui Ying, she believes that doing so will bring up but nothing but demerits, as she may end up even having no other options to reveal her secret with being a Frost Wyvern, which in the end could cost her severely as she will end up being madly hunted around the entirety of the Xinghai Continent.
The Sword Paragon Sect already unsuccessfully announced a large reward for sightings of a spirit beast which met her description, with it so far is proven to be ineffective as none have even caught a glimpse of her so far, making many doubt Elder Wi who was the sole cause for them searching for the spirit beast.
So, she does not want to end within a situation where she will be even hunted within her human form, making it ridiculously difficult for her to escape capture.
She soon found that leaving them alive and going along with the plot suits her perfectly, unknowingly to Princess Hui Ying her scheme will end up benefiting Dana.
These cultivators will be searching for her anyways, so if Princess Hui Ying keeps them within the same place waiting for her, whilst she goes around hunting for resources, she will end up avoiding them until her strength becomes sufficient enough for her to deal with them.
Deciding that the risk of her revealing her appearance paid off, Dana's eyes grew vicious as she looked at Princess Hui Ying and two girls plans for her demise, and what was further laughable is that they planned on poisoning her before taking her to the preplanned area in which the cultivators awaited her.
What Dana found hilarious was that there was probably no poison within the Xinghai Continent that could even remotely affect her, and that is if you take into account the most lethal poisons within the Xinghai Continent which could kill even a Core Formation Cultivator and not the poison which these girls planned on giving her.
The poison they want to provide her is one which slowly weakens the individual, crippling their bodies permanently.
This was truly a malevolent poison, that many would even not want to use on their worst enemies as it makes them suffer a fate worse than death, becoming permanently crippled thus remaining even weaker than a mortal for the rest of their lives.
'Princess Hui Ying is truly a sinister person!' Dana thought as she stared at Princess Hui Ying which currently seemed full of antic.i.p.ation at the expression on Dana's face when she becomes a useless person.
'Even though that poison wouldn't affect me remotely, you will pay for your actions, one way or another,' Dana thought as she finally decided to leave this place before she ended up losing control herself and killing all three girls as a result of her anger.
Leaving the area, Dana knew as they believed she was fooled by the scheme, it would give her enough time within the secret realm to find many resources which would be useful towards her cultivation, Dana is fully planned on at least reaching the Fourth-Ranked of Xiantian before dealing with them within the conditions of the Secret Realm.
As in the Secret Realm, they will have no elders protecting them, she will be fully capable of eliminating each one of them without the revenge of their sects, as who would believe that someone with her cultivation can kill all of them?
s.h.i.+fting into her Frost Wyvern form, Dana flew towards the location in which the Blaze Wyrm is located, as each of them had fairly strong cultivations with in addition to having a dragon-related bloodline, Dana believes that after this experience, her strength will reach another level entirely.
