"Of-of course we'll take any help, especially if it's from as powerful of people like you two. And unlike the Liang Tribe, you have my word we won't force you to become slaves. Also, you're free to leave at any time you want." Eras eagerly explained to the sibling duo.
Refusing such prime help like this would be more than foolish. And also disrespectful, considering these two saved their lives even as their intentions weren't pure.
The only concerning thing was the fact that he and his other members couldn't sense either Cain or Kali's cultivation.
Now that they weren't in a middle of a fight, their natural aura seemed almost non-existence.
Although, there was still a clear feeling of danger naturally emitted from Cain and Kali's bodies. Even though nobody would be able to perceive their cultivation level, that scary feeling couldn't be ignored.
In the end, it didn't matter that much for Eras. He witnessed firsthand the sibling duo's immense strength.
Having the prowess to easily slaughter eighth-level cultivators like ants, these two may just be ninth or even tenth-level Spirit Opening cultivators!
Whether they end up being ninth or tenth, these two would undoubtedly be tremendously helpful for their Clan.
"Well then. Since we're all in agreement, let's set off towards your Clan right now. There's no time like the present."
Kali sweetly smiled towards Eras' group.
This kind, beautiful smile that seemed like it was from an innocent maiden only sent slight shivers down everyone in Eras' group.
No matter how maiden-like she appears to be, Eras and his members won't be able to erase the memories of her indifferently and brutally crushing a man's skull with her bare hand.
Right then, a brief moment of hesitation swirled within Eras' eyes before he quickly shook his head. He then slowly stood back on his feet while fishing out a healing pill from his spatial ring.
Before taking the pill, he told Cain and Kali, "Follow us. We're actually not that far away from the main Clan compound."
Taking a look at Shao's corpse, a strange light surged within Eras' eyes as he continued to say, "Also, bring along his spatial ring. This will be your proof that you two wiped off his group."
At that moment, the other Kong Clan members gradually stood to their feet and took out healing pills for themselves.
They all then shoved the pills down their throats, turned around, and began walking back to their Clan, intending to heal while they travel.
Kali only took one look over Shao's corpse before indifferently taking the spatial ring off his finger. She then matched her gaze with Cain, and they nodded at the same time.
With everything said and done, the sibling duo closely followed behind Eras' group.
….
An hour soon passed.
True to his words, Eras had eventually led Cain and Kali towards their Kong Clan.
The walk coming here was completely smooth sailing. Perhaps they got lucky, but no vicious beasts attempted to run up and ambush them.
Eras' group found it a bit surprising, considering they all still had fresh blood spots on their clothes. And more than anything, vicious beasts were attracted to human blood.
However, any thoughts of encountering any more danger was utterly useless.
Cain and Kali only took little notice of this oddity.
Either way, if a vicious beast comes to attack them, it wouldn't matter. Even if the beast was a peak Tier 1, matching the peak of the Spirit Opening realm, it would only face death against them.
As of now, Cain and Kali's interests were taken by the site ahead of them.
"My, so this is your Kong Clan? Pretty unique design you have here." Kali had even spoken out some slight praise.
Just several hundred feet ahead of them and slowly approaching was a massive sight of interconnected buildings. Around this place, there weren't any trees in sight, completely transforming the environment to their whims.
Cain specifically compared this place towards a small town back in his homeworld. And he could swear that this Kong Clan was even bigger than that!
Of course, this being a cultivation universe, he should be expecting to witness surreal areas like this. But no matter how much he was expecting, it was still something to see for the first time ever.
Along with its massive size, Cain had also agreed that the Kong Clan is uniquely designed.
Cain admittedly found that the Kong Clan bear some resemblance towards more rural areas in his previous homeworlds. Places he would see out in the middle of nowhere or desserts, completely isolated from modern cities.
Considering they are deep into a forest, this would seem like the most natural design.
However, the Kong Clan weren't completely rural looking. Blending in with everything was a more futuristic modern technology.
Almost every building and tall structure looked like they were advanced several thousand years into the future. This unique sense of combination truly did make the Kong Clan stand out at first glance.
"Ah, thank you for the compliment. You see, we have an even longer history than the Liang Tribe here. Our massively wide Clan is the work of thousands of years of arduous work."
Eras had decided to explain as he led their group forward.
When he brought this up, it made Cain reflect on everything they learned so far.
As the walk was peaceful when coming here, he and Kali were free to ask any questions.
What they learned from Eras is that the current area they're in is called the Misty Wilderness. Apparently, these woods are widely known by essentially everyone throughout the entire Province.
The Misty Wilderness is said to have no end sight. Somehow, these woods connect to every major city within their whole Elite Martial Province.
Feasibly, if one were to travel by these woods, they could basically go anywhere in the Province.
However, doing so without sufficient strength would only lead to one's swift death.
With an area as long as the Misty Wilderness, there's bound to be numerous powerful organizations within these woods.
Many of these organizations are directly connected to major powers in main cities.
Because of this, numerous areas in the Misty Wilderness are sectioned off into domains.
And the domain Cain and Kali were teleported to was the Tribal Domain.
Cain remarked that good fortune was on their side for getting teleported here. Thankfully for him and Kali, the Tribal Domain was considered a weak, low Tier Domain.
Only several small powers established themselves here, and none of them were from the major city connecting to this domain.
Out of every organization here, the ones who held the most power were the Kong Clan, Liang Tribe, and the Hong Clan.
From these three, the Hong Clan is considered the strongest. That Clan also has the longest established history, making them the unofficial ruler of the whole Tribal Domain.
Fortunately for Cain and Kali, they have no need to worry about them. The specific area they're in was close to only the Kong Clan and Liang Tribe.
Strictly talking about these two powers, it wasn't clear just who was stronger.
The Kong Clan actually has a longer history than the Liang Tribe, supposedly existing for thousands of years already. Their background runs deep in these woods.
However, while their time is significantly shorter, the Liang Tribe surprised both the Kong and Hong Clan by their quick rise to power.
Compared to the Kong Clan, there was a surprising amount of talented cultivators in the Liang Tribe.
These cultivators are the backbone of the Liang Tribe and what forcefully put them on the map. But, also, because of them, their methods are far more cruel and domineering.
They all managed to cultivate an art that gives them the ability to plant slave seals to directly control their grunts. And through whatever means, these ordinary grunts would come to grow exponentially more powerful.
Of course, with their leads of success, the Liang Tribe grew more ambitious.
They gradually turned more aggressive with the Kong Clan until one day, they brazenly decided to declare war on them.
They wanted this whole territory in this part of the Tribal Domain for themselves and are more than glad to wipe off the Kong Clan for it.
All of this intel was as much Cain and Kali got invested into.
Admittedly, while the sibling duo found their long history intriguing, they honestly didn't care much.
After all, this war of territory and power wasn't their battle. They're simply here to train and sharpen themselves.
Who ends up winning the war, in the end, would have no bearing on their minds. Although, Cain and Kali could see that their involvement might tip the scales in the Kong Clan's favor.
Barring past this, the sibling duo was much more interested in learning about the Misty Wilderness geography.
Unfortunately though, Eras's group didn't have much intel on this.
The most they know is that this Province is named the Elite Martial Province and is 5th ranked among the Nine Provinces on this continent. Also that the Tribal Domain is directly connected to the major city, Azure Lightning City.
It wasn't a lot, but this much information was enough for now.
Cain was assured that after growing stronger here, he and Kali will pay a visit to the Azure Lightning City.
Suddenly, Cain was interrupted from his thoughts when Kali gently nudged him.
"Look alive, brother. We're finally here." She whispered to him while keeping her gaze forward.
Focusing on the present, Cain noticed they had already arrived near the Kong Clan's main gate. As they arrived, he saw that two red leather armor men were guarding the entrance.
Inspecting these men with his Qi Sense, Cain curled his eyebrows.
He couldn't precisely identify their cultivation realms but can feel a greater power exuding from them.
Cain knew what this meant; these two men's cultivation was higher than the Spirit Opening realm.. They both were Nascent Formation powerhouses.
