Awaiting Him

'That Soul Emperor has no beef with me, but with me holding the key to a mini realm, I'm already a target. I would be a fool if I thought that I could negotiate with that Soul Emperor, so the only remaining way is to chase him out without causing him to notice the presence of the spatial gate by leaking this information to the Soul Palace.'

'However, the thing is... I don't know if that Soul Emperor already found us but is just monitoring us for some reason. No, that's too naive of a thought. How could Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross let us get away like that? Even if he is supposedly injured, his cultivation is at High-Level Emperor Soul Stage, more than enough to kill me in an instant and take over the Grand Sea Continent and its inheritances.'

'Then... could it really be that I was moving right under his nose without him noticing me or us all this time...?'
