The Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivator that appeared then went to talk with Rean's group, introducing himself. "I'm Wankil Otis, the one responsible for the city guards and cultivators' actions. Lord Kimi received a message that a group of unidentified cultivators entered the city, so he sent me to check it out. Now then, who are you lot?"

The reason why Wankil was acting that cocky was because Rean was still using his Spiritual Sense bending skill. Wankil simply couldn't tell what cultivation the group in front of him, especially Rean and Govin, were at. Still, he was at the Late Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm, so he thought that the group in front of him couldn't be any stronger than that. If things got ugly, he was confident that he could escape and warn that Lord Kimi he talked about.

Rean shrugged his shoulders after Wankil's words, saying, "I'm an elder of the Freedom Sect, located on an island in the sea north from here. I brought my group out because we're testing a piece of new equipment we created."

Wankil narrowed his eyes after hearing that, saying, "You should have noticed that this city already had cultivators living inside. Why didn't you try to ask the lord of this city for permission?"

Qia couldn't help but laugh after that. "Hahaha! Permission? This city was almost empty just a few weeks ago, and now you say we need permission? Aren't you lot getting too ahead of yourselves?" As an ex-princess of the Sasamil Empire, Qia didn't really sit well with that kind of treatment.

Wankil, of course, didn't like her answer at all. "Have you never heard the phrase 'first come, first serve?' Lord Kimi was present when the Fausec Tribe decided to create this country. After giving his support, he was rewarded with the control of Sustral City. Naturally, you lot from sect whatever would need to give that bit of respect at least."

Rean didn't care about any of that. Instead, he was more interested in the tower that he wanted to use. "So? What is this tower? My Spiritual Sense is being barred by the formation around it."

Wankil felt even worse after being ignored like that. "That's not your business. Come with me to see Lord Kimi. You don't want to start a fight in our territory."

Govin, Qia, and the others wanted nothing more than to show that guy how big the gap in front of him was. However, just as they were about to do that, Rean stopped them with his hand. "Alright, alright. Let's go see what this Lord Kimi wants." At the same time, he sent them a Spiritual Sense Message, saying, 'There are a lot of ordinary people here. I don't want to involve them in the aftermath. I know that with our cultivation, we should be able to easily take care of this. Though, I don't see why we should be hostile on our first interaction either.'

Wankil couldn't help but snort after that. "Hmph! At least you know what's good for you." He turned around right after. "Follow me. Lord Kimi should be in the Planning Hall at the moment."

Qia and the others still felt like giving the guy a beating, but they calmed down and followed Rean, who followed Wankil from behind. Not too long after, they arrived in the so-called Planning Hall, where they could see quite a few cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm and below. There were even five Core Formation Realm cultivators, who obviously occupied some important positions there.

With that, they were able to meet Lord Kimi after passing a few doors. Rean's Spiritual Sense immediately identified the man's cultivation, someone at the Middle Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.

"Oh, so you're the people they told me about," Kimi said as he worked on a few papers. "I'm sorry to say this but, the city already has the necessary number of cultivators. If we get more than that, we won't be able to share the cultivation resources of this city with everyone."

Rean was a little more satisfied since Lord Kimi at least wanted to talk. "We have no intention of staying in this city. North from here, passing a few hundred kilometers of sea, you will find an island. My sect took residence there, so we already have a place to call home."

"North from here? But that would still be considered the Fausec Country's territory. You can't simply build something there that easily." Kimi finally put his documents down after hearing that.

One must remember that this new country was founded with people from the sealed regions. That being said, they didn't know anything about Fizer or Roan. They just knew that the demon beasts won the war, and the humans got Wringan Continent as a reward for their help in the battles. It was not like they didn't want to participate, but more like they didn't even know it happened until it was over. That was how restricted the sealed regions were. Of course, a few sealed regions ended up being conquered by the demon beasts during the war, but the people from this Fausec Country weren't one of them.

Rean didn't care too much about that, of course. "There's no need to worry. I'll pay a visit to this Fausec King later on. Depending on the type of person he is, I think I won't mind leaving him in his position."

Kimi was taken aback. "Kid, you're quite brave. Do you even know who the King is? Of course, you don't. Otherwise, you wouldn't have talked like that." Kimi didn't get angry, though. "Let me tell you, the King is called Jin Fausec, an Initial Stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivator. He should have been at a much higher level. However, because the Zasfins would kill anyone who surpassed the Nascent Soul Realm, he held himself back until now. Believe me, he's definitely much stronger than other cultivators at the same level."

Rean's group couldn't help but look at Kimi with a weird face, asking, "Initial Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm? Don't our Freedom City, where the cultivators who wanted to join the sect are staying, have seven or so of them?"

Srevil nodded, responding, "It does. One of them is someone I know, a Peak Stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivator called Hugo."

Qia then laughed out loud after that, saying, "Do you think if we tell him to kill this Fausec King in exchange for allowing him to enter the sect, would he do that?"

Govin and everyone else nodded. "Probably."

Kimi couldn't help but let out cold sweat after hearing that. 'Seven Soul Transformation Realm cultivators and they aren't even part of their sect?! Then...how strong are the people in their sect?!'
