The King Of The Universe - 862 Danger In The Shadow

“Raven Sect!?” ,Young Master Kenneth said in astonishment, “That means the rumours were true?”

“Till now it was just a rumour. But since we have an evidence that the Clan Leader of the Trott Clan had visited the Raven Sect, the rumours were true.” ,Young Master Ivan replied.

“What kind of rumours?” ,Jimmy asked.

Young Master Ivan replied, “This is something that happened even before I was born. Back then, Young Loren had saved a person who was on the verge of death. Later they learned that this person is a big shot in the mighty Raven Sect. And because of their help, that big shot managed to survive. So in return, that big shot from the Raven Sect took young Loren as his personal disciple!”

Young Master Ivan continued, “Later within hundred years, the then Tier-3 Clan suddenly rose to become the Tier-1 Clan. They were very close to replace my clan as the City Lord. But we don’t know what exactly happened, they never surpassed us even when they had the capabilities.”

Young Master Ivan continued, “Later, Loren returned and was announced to be the Clan Leader by the previous leader. But all this time, Loren was announced to be in the closed door seclusion. And he didn’t come out for hundred years. Later in our investigation, we found the traces of him being in the Raven Sect!”

Young Master Ivan continued, “This all begun after the time period when that big shot from the Raven Sect was taken care by them. So the rumours spread that Loren was disciple of the Raven Sect. It was just a rumour without any proof. So we had no way to be assured without any proof.”

Young Master Ivan continued, “But today Loren had to visit the Raven Sect. This was enough for us to believe that the rumours were true.”

Arjun didn’t say anything. He waited patiently for Young Master Ivan to carry on. And sure enough, Young Master Ivan continued, “We don’t know what exactly is the result. But we are sure about one thing. No matter what, the Raven Sect will have their eyes on you people. They don’t even care about the Royal Capital’s judgment. So they will definitely try to kill you even if the rule forbids the killing among the contestants.”

Young Master Ivan continued, “Of course! That is only possible if they take you seriously. Or if you were to annoy them. If you mind your own business and stay away from them, then they will definitely not do anything to you.”

Young Master Ivan became serious and said, “But if the Raven Sect were to help Loren, then they will definitely destroy you people. City Lord asked me to warn you people to avoid conflicts with the Raven Sect. Because Raven Sect had people who could use the Dao Energy! And there is an inside information that they have two people who had reached the Domain Stage in the Dao!”

Arjun and others remained silent. Arjun didn’t care about these Domain Stage Experts. He had four people in his team who had mastery in the Dao. And what’s more, they all walk on the path of Greater Dao. And all of them had the completion rate of 40%. So they he had nothing to fear about these Domain Stage Experts.

After all, the Grand Dao is nothing but a fart in front of the Greater Dao! He don’t give a shit.

But there are others in his team who are yet to master the Greater Dao. They don’t even have any past experience with the Grand Dao as well. So if they were in the similar situation as in the preliminaries and had to fight in the competition through the Combat means, then it is troublesome.

Arjun knew that with their current strength level, they can’t survive against these people from the Eagle Province.

‘I have to do something to ensure their protection in the competition. If we were to be separated just like in the preliminaries, and if they were to face any of these Raven Sect people, then they will be killed. Even their Astral Qi won’t protect them!’ ,Arjun thought.

“Thank you for your valuable information. I will be careful.” ,Arjun said, “Please go ahead and train. I will also start my training process. We will come out only when the time for the competition begins.”

“Sure.” ,Young Master Ivan replied. Then along with Young Master Kenneth, he left Arjun’s room.

“What do you think?” ,Sitaram asked after their departure.

“I don’t know.” ,Arjun shook his head and said with a long sigh, “What I am about to say might sound rude. But it is the bitter truth everyone needs to digest. No matter how strong they might be, their Dao path is the Grand Dao. While our path is the Greater Dao. I am sure that as long as our opponent is not a Greater Dao expert like us, there exist no person we have to fear.”

Arjun continued, “I have no problem with Rick, Grandfather and Grandpa Gutherson. They all have mastery in the Greater Dao. But what about the rest?”

As Arjun said the last part, he looked at his father and others. He continued, “If we are to participate in the competition in the forest just like in the preliminaries, then we will be separated for sure. And there will be no one who can come to your aid if your luck is terrible and you have to face the people from the Raven Sect. It is this situation which is bothering me.”

The room fell silent. No matter what, what Arjun said was truth. This is not the Solar City. This place is little difficult than the preliminaries. The experts here are as many as dust. And they were not that strong enough to deal with them.

Of course! It would have been the exception if they were Dao Masters. But only four of them were the Dao Masters. As for the rest, they were yet to step foot in that field.

“What do you want to do then?” ,Gnan asked, “I know that you don’t want to let us die here. You might have something in your mind right?”

“Don’t expect any miracle from me this early. I will tell you one thing. I don’t have any solution with me for this shitty situation at the moment. Give me some time. I will do my best to find the solution.”

Everyone couldn’t help but sigh. They knew that no matter what kind of knowledge Arjun had, even he had limit to what he can do. And this is the Dao we are talking about. So the complications involved in it will be much higher than the previous challenge.
