Is That A Wisp? Chapter 218

On the other hand, Linda Orphin just laughed.
"Wouldn't it be according to your wishes? From what we found out, you already have quite some information about this girl called Feifei. To get rid of the Wang Clan would definitely play in your favor. How could I accept that?"
Raro nodded after hearing that.
"We are all intelligent beings here, so let's stop playing dumb. Shall we, Hule?"
Hule just snorted, though.
"Then what do you propose?"
Linda looked at Wang Mei and said.
"Well, this is the situation at the moment. We want that girl called Feifei, and I believe that you don't want your clan to be exterminated. The same goes for the guys from the Divine Path Sect. So how about you just tell us where she went and forget about it? That would be for your own good."
Mei looked at Lani, and they nodded at each other. They had long since decided what they would do at this point.
"Very well. We didn't know who was after my Feifei. Because of that, my Wang Clan decided to use the favor that we had with an expert of another universe to send her away for the time being. As for who it is, we can't tell you since the power behind him is even stronger than your Sacred Lands. That was the deal."
Raro frowned and asked.
"Do you think we will believe that? If that's the case, which Universe did you send her?"
Mei nodded and said.
"You will believe it whether you want it or not. Through that favor, we sent Feifei to the Dalin Universe."
Immediately, Raro, Hule, and Linda opened their eyes wide!
"Impossible! There is no way you could have made the powers controlling that Universe accepts the entrance of a member of your clan."
Rora then complemmented.
"That is even harder to believe now. Wat proof do you have that you are talking the truth?"
Mei then sent a memory projection into everyone's minds. A memory project is totally different from saying something through Divine Sense, it has to be dragged out of real memories. If you try to create one, some discrepancies will definitely appear. For cultivators and demon beasts at their level, there is no way they couldn't find it. The only problem is that for one to drag a memory out willingly, the Semi-Divinity Realm cultivation or higher is necessary.
The memory that Mei sent them was the opening of the Spatial Gate that connected to the Dalin Universe. She also sent a feel of the images that she got from there together with what she saw about the laws there. Of course, she obviously didn't show which Planet Krune and Feifei were sent to.
Linda looked at that and didn't know what to say. In fact, at first, she wasn't certain if this one was really the Dalin Universe or not. But after checking the laws and the fact that that universe had almost all planets were occupied forced her to believe.

Hule's thoughts went even further. He knows that the fact that Wang Mei was able to connect to that universe and look inside for so long meant that things were bad. Even their Sacred Land wouldn't be able to connect to the Dalin universe without being found out, and it would probably bring a calamity to them. Since Mei was able to do it for so long, it meant that she really got the permission to send someone there. The problem now is, which is the power behind the Wang Clan that allowed them to do that?
Raro took a deep breath and said.
"I will have to have my Sacred Land analyze this memory of yours to confirm if this is really the Dalin Universe or not."
Mei nodded.
"Take as long as you want. But I will repeat, I can't tell you about the power which allowed us to send Feifei there. It was part of the deal. Even if you exterminate the entire Wang Clan and Divine Path Sect, I will still not say anything. It doesn't matter how strong your Sacred Lands are, it doesn't give me as much fear as them. If not for the luck encounter of a long-deceased ancestor of our Clan with them, we would never be able to ask for it."
Linda thought that something wasn't adding up and asked.
"I do believe that this is the Dalin Universe since you probably know that we can confirm it. What I don't understand is why you decided to use this favor with such a power to send Feifei away. It doesn't matter how I look at it, it's not worth to spend this favor on a single Feifei. So, why did you do that?"
Wang Mei smiled and said.
"Well, it's not every day that my Wang Clan gives birth to an Advanced Major Core that has one of the Fragments of the Heavenly Core. So, of course, we decided that it was worth investing in her."
Raro, Linda, and Hule expressions turned dark at that moment.
"Knowing too much isn't always good, you know?"
Lani heard that and snorted.
"Why are you even afraid? It's not like we can do anything even if we have this information. After all, there would be a need to kill the Advanced Major Core owners of your own Sacred Lands if we wanted her to give birth to a Heavenly Core. It doesn't matter how I look at it, we simply don't have that power."
Raro then asked.
"Then, I will ask the same question as Linda. Why did you send Feifei away? If you had negotiated with any of our Sacred Lands, you could have gotten several benefits from any of us. But look at the situation now. You have instead made an enemy of all three."

Lani snorted after hearing that.
"That would have been even worse. That meant that after one of you got Feifei, the other two would probably seek revenge for losing a Heavenly Core Fragment, so we would be inflicted anyway. As for the Sacred Land that we did the deal with, why would they try to stop the other two Sacred Lands once they already got the Heavenly Core Fragment? Would they really protect our Clan or Sect? I'm sorry, but neither of us has that much trust in any of you, especially the Darkness one."
They have reached an impasse. It is true that Feifei is now gone, and they won't be able to call her back. But if they decide to destroy the Wang Clan or Divine Path Sect, Feifei would definitely never come back unless she was absolutely sure that she could get revenge.
So either their Sacred Lands wouldn't be able to touch her any time soon, or they would pay a heavy price once she gathered enough power to attack. For them, it's not unheard of a single cultivator bringing the destruction of an entire power of their level. They have access to much more information than the Wang Clan and Divine Path Sect.
There is another thing as well, Feifei's Heavenly Fragment only works with the Heavenly Fragments of those of the Luvile Universe. It is useless for any Advanced Major Core of another universe to take it. So she won't need to be afraid of the other side trying to take her Heavenly Fragment. Of course, Feifei and Krune had no idea about that at the moment. So they won't show their Advanced Major Cores that easy to the others.
In the end, the best thing to do was to get Feifei first.
"What if we take the Wang Clan as a hostage and force Feifei to come back?"
Hule commented.
But Raro shook his head.
"It won't work. That is because Feifei probably doesn't have anyone to send her back. Did you forget? Even if they got her to go there through a favor, there is no way that their backing would allow a high-level cultivator to go together. First of all, how do we even contact her to tell that her Clan is in our hands? If I was Wang Mei, I would definitely cut all means of communication and tracking possible."
Linda then added.
"Not to mention, we don't know which is the power supporting the Wang Clan. But since they were able to allow Feifei to enter the Dalin Universe, it is evident that we can't offend them that easily. Was it really just a single Favor that was bestowed to the Wang Clan? At this moment, probably only Wang Mei and Lani Gobel know the answer. They are also exactly the ones that we can't injure because of this connection."
Raro understood that staying any longer would bring no benefit to them and said.
"I have no reason to stay anymore, so I'm taking my leave."
Before anyone could say anything, several spatial gates opened, and Raro left with his companions.
Linda just sighed and said.
"Same here, I'm out."
She then left right after.
Hule, on the other hand, was very unwilling to do so. But it was obvious that the other two didn't want to risk offending a Universe powerhouse. His Darkness Sacred Land, of course, couldn't take the brunt alone either. Other than that, he had to immediately go back. Just because Feifei is there, it doesn't mean that they can't reach her.
"Hmph!"
Several more Spatial Gates opened, and the Darkness Sacred Land people and beasts left.
Lani looked at the spot where they disappeared and felt like a huge boulder was lifted from his shoulders.
He and Wang Mei then went back into the Wang Clan home planet to talk.
"The lie seems to have worked out well. It is the fact that they don't believe that we would ever be able to connect to the Dalin Universe unscratched that allowed the plan to work."
Wang Mei nodded.
"Indeed. But if one day they found out that it was all a lie, we are going to be in great peril."
Lani looked to the sky and asked.
"Do you think they can find out that no one helped us?"
Mei immediately shook her head.
"I don't know, but I reckon that this would be a big challenge even for them. Also, even if they can't find this 'backer' of ours, they can't rule the possibility that they simply didn't find it. So for now, we should be safe."
She was also thinking a lot about this issue.
"What do you think they will do?"
Lani looked at Mei with a worried face.
"To be honest, considering their resources, I believe that they have a way to send people or beasts to the Dalin Universe if they pay the price. That is also the fastest way if I was them. As for the restrictions that they will get, that I don't know. Still, Krune and Feifei are definitely a lot safer there than if they would be here."
Mei nodded and didn't say anything else.
