Chapter 603 - Destination, Blue Wind Empire's Capital
"You have only one option right now, either you talk, or I forcefully read your minds," The Principal said.
The trio looked at each other, all knowing the risk that came with what the Principal wanted to do. If there was so little as a simple mistake, then they might lose their minds.
"Isn't that a little too excessive?" The Late stage Overlord Plane Elementalist asked.
"Tell me what I want, and I'll let you three go," The Principal said.
"Who are you talking about?" The Late stage Overlord Plane asked in defeat.
He just couldn't take the risk of having the Principal forcibly go through his memories. It was not an easy skill, and he had heard of countless people losing their minds after this was done on them. Some even become brain dead.
The Principal nodded after seeing them agree, he told them of Blake and Delia, and the expression of the trio showed that they had a clue of their whereabouts.
"So it's you people from the Qilin Empire, I should've guessed," One of the Mid stage Overlord Plane Elementalists said.
"Yes, now, tell us where they are if you want to keep your lives," The Principal didn't hide their identity since asking for the whereabouts of Instructor Blake and Delia had already given them away.
"Wait, that means you four are the youngsters the Emperors are all searching for?" The Late stage Overlord Plane Elementalist pointed at Grey and his friends.
"Tell us what we need to know," The Principal didn't allow the youths to speak. It was unnecessary.
"They are being taken to the Capital. If I'm not wrong, they should be there by now," The man in the Late stage said.
With their cultivation crippled, it would take a miracle for them to untie themselves.
They left the woods, heading into the main empire. They quickly got a map to know their destination and hurried there.
The Principal hoped the group taking Blake and Delia to the Capital was a little slow, so they could catch up with them. He made a route from his friend's place, and the path he felt the people would take.
Since they were all flying, they traveled thousands of kilometers in a matter of seconds. After what seemed like ages, they finally got to the city before the Capital.
From the map, and the Principal's route, the group taking Blake and Delia to the Capital will most likely go through this city.
"I'll ask around if they stopped by, you four should stay put," The Principal said before vanishing into the crowd that was heading into the city.
Unlike Grey and his friends, he didn't have his poster hung all over. And since he was in the Sage Plane, he had a better chance of escaping.
"Damn it, these people are annoying," Klaus complained.
"I still don't understand why they are doing this," Reynolds said.
"They see us as potential threats, people who can endanger their present reign. As you can see, they are all trying to take control of all four empires, and we four are an anomaly that can't be trusted," Alice explained.
"Well, I'm not in any way interested in their power scuffle," Reynolds said.
"Yeah, but do you think the Emperors will believe you?" Klaus asked.
"Even if we vow not to get involved in anything they do, they will always see us as threats. Haven't you heard of how they kill any person that has elemental grades higher than blue?" Alice rubbed her head.
"The Emperor is a moron, he should've treated us kindly, I mean, that is what I would've done," Reynolds cursed the thinking of the Emperor.
"I can't really say what's going through the Emperor's head, but I believe he did this because he felt we're already at a level he couldn't control any longer.. Especially given what has been going on with my Teacher," Grey said.
