"Idiot! I have already warned you, yet you still went and provoked that guy. If you want to die, just say it. I, Basilica of the Holy Blood, can satisfy your wish."
The Hall of Sacred Blood, where Gray had been staying for the past few months, belonged to the Sacred Blood Hall. The news that the Toth Family had offended Gray had been immediately spread to the Hall of Sacred Blood.
When he heard the news, Palace Leader Cyleman, who was a muscular man with red hair, roared in anger.
Even he, the Temple Master of the Sacred Blood Hall, was not willing to provoke such an existence. Yet, the Toth Family, a family that could only be ranked in the middle or lower among the top families, dared to provoke such an existence.
"Okay, Cyleman. Isn't this matter already settled?"
A woman with black hair said.
She was the vice leader of Basilica of the Holy Blood, Lizzel. She was also the wife of Palace Leader Cyleman. Palace Leader Cyleman, who had a bad temper, was able to manage Basilica of the Holy Blood well because of her.
"Fortunately, it was settled. Otherwise, even if that person did not destroy the Toth family, I would have done it myself."
Palace Leader Cyleman coldly grunted and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Okay, I think we should pay more attention to the fact that he is now a guest at the House of Arase."
Vice Palace Leader Lizzel looked serious.
"He is now living in the House of Arase?"
Palace Leader Cyleman frowned. The House of Arase was one of the four most powerful families in Basilica of the Holy Blood, but they were not liked by Basilica of the Holy Blood.
One hundred years ago, an Annihilation-class elder from Basilica of the Holy Blood died at the hands of the House of Arase. Although the person who killed him committed suicide and the House of Arase paid a great price, he became a thorn in Basilica of the Holy Blood.
"What is going on?"
"It seems like the House of Arase wants to curry favor with him, so they invited him to the House of Arase as a guest, but …"
Vice Palace Leader Lizzel's voice paused.
"I think this matter is not as simple as it seems. It does not seem like they want to curry favor with him, so I have ordered the Holy Palace Intelligence Department to investigate."
"Order the Intelligence Department to increase the number of spies. We must find out what the House of Arase is up to. Humph! The House of Arase, I hope you do not cause any trouble. Otherwise, I will kill you!"
Palace Leader Cyleman coldly grunted.
…
A few days later, Gray Gray and the Holy Blood Holy Blood Holy Blood Holy Blood Holy blood Holy Blood Holy Holy Blood was the Holy Holy Blood Holy Blood Holy Blood Holy holy Blood!
The Death Mountain Range was extremely long and had many branches. It was a huge mountain range that covered an area of millions of square kilometers.
Due to the large number of blood fiends in the mountain range, deaths occurred almost all the time. Skeletons could be seen everywhere. Some belonged to blood fiends, while others belonged to humans. This was the origin of the Death Mountain Range.
In the depths of the Death Mountain Range, there were Rule Class Blood Beasts. Even an Annihilation-class elite might not be able to survive if they were not careful.
According to the House of Arase's investigation, there were at least five rule-class blood beasts in the mountains. Many Annihilation-class big shots had died in the mouths of these rule-class blood beasts. It was truly a land of death.
However, this kind of danger was naturally nothing to Gray, whose combat strength was comparable to a veteran Rule-level powerhouse.
With him accompanying them, their journey was unimpeded. Five days later, they met up with the people left behind by the House of Arase in the Death Mountain Range to monitor the situation of the Law Fruit.
"Where are the Rule Fruit and the Rule Blood Beast?"
Gray asked as he scanned his surroundings. He didn't see any Law Fruits or Law Realm Blood Fiends.
"Lord Gray, the Law Fruit and the Law Rank Blood Fiend are in the mountain ahead."
Arase Family's Patriarch pointed towards a huge mountain in the northwest direction that was dozens of li away from here.
"Monitoring from so far away?"
Gray raised his eyebrows. It was safe to monitor from so far away, but Gray doubted whether they could monitor the Law Fruit at all times. If the Law Fruit ripened earlier than expected, he was afraid the Law Rank Blood Fiend would eat it without him knowing.
"There is no other way. The Law Rank Blood Fiend's senses are too sharp. Even if it is 20 to 30 miles away, they can still sense it."
Arase Family's Patriarch gave a wry smile.
"But do not worry, Lord Gray. The House of Arase sends people to check on the situation every day. The Law Fruit has not ripened or been eaten."
"That's good."
Gray nodded. He did not need the patriarch to tell him that. He could already guess how much risk the people who were sent to check on the situation every day were taking. The House of Arase had probably lost many people because of this.
"Lord Gray, I am counting on you!"
Arase Family's Patriarch said seriously.
In fact, for the Law Fruit, the House of Arase had already lost hundreds of people. They had even lost two of their Annihilation-class elders.
However, even if the number of casualties doubled, the Arather Family would not hesitate. After all, the value of the Law Fruit was simply too great.
One Law Fruit was enough to create a Law Rank elite. It could make a family become a Saint-class faction. The difference between a Saint-class faction and a strong family was like a chasm. Hundreds of strong families could not compare to a Saint-class faction.
So, if there was a chance to become a Saint-class faction, many factions would give it their all.
"Yes, but I need someone to lead the way. We need to determine the location of the Law Fruit first to prevent the Law Fruit from being damaged when we fight."
Gray nodded.
"Of course."
Arase Family's Patriarch immediately agreed.
He knew how scary a Law Rank battle was. If they did not know where the Law Fruit was and the Law Fruit was destroyed, the House of Arase's previous efforts would have been wasted.
In the end, the House of Arase chose a dark-skinned man to lead Gray. He took Gray to the mountain in the distance.
The dark-skinned man was obviously very nervous. His body was tense, and he looked around cautiously. He was already in a state of extreme nervousness. Even a few leaves falling on the ground would alert him.
"Don't be nervous. I am sure you can guess who I am. I can handle a Law Rank blood beast. Even if I am discovered, it will be fine."
Gray said.
"Yes, Lord Gray."
The dark-skinned man quickly nodded, but it was obvious that the effect was not great. It was just like before.
It was not that he did not listen to Gray's words. Although he had tried his best to relax, when he thought of the Law Rank blood beast, the nervousness in his heart inevitably appeared again. There was simply no way to stop it.
Gray shook his head and said no more. He could understand why the other party was so nervous. If he was in the other party's shoes, his performance would not be much better.
The two of them moved forward in the woods, each step extremely careful. It took them a full hour to sneak close to the mountain with the Law Fruit and the Law Rank blood beast.
"My Lord, there …"
After entering the mountain, the two of them became even more careful. After hiding for another half an hour, the dark-skinned man pointed in a direction and signaled to Gray.
Gray looked in the direction the dark-skinned man was pointing and saw a short tree about a meter tall growing on a cliff.
The short tree was rooted on the cliff. It was white and had a crystal-like texture. It was like a crystal tree.
The leaves were flat and long, sparse, and there were only a few dozen of them. Between these dozens of leaves were two fruits.
The fruits were purple and had a crystal-like texture. However, a small part of the fruit was white, as if the purple crystal was mixed with white crystal.
According to the description of the book Gray had read, this was a sign that the fruit was not ripe yet. Only when the white part turned purple would the two fruits be considered ripe.
Squeak squeak!
There was an ear-piercing sound of friction, accompanied by a terrifying aura that soared into the sky.
Just as Gray discovered the Law Fruit, a behemoth also discovered Gray and the dark-skinned man. It moved its eight huge legs, accompanied by the sound of trees collapsing, and pounced on Gray and the dark-skinned man.
This was an extremely large behemoth that looked like a spider. It had eight huge legs that were dozens of meters long and was white all over.
The surface of its body was covered by a layer of carapace, and the sound of friction was made by its chelicerae and pedipalps.
"A spider-type Law Rank blood beast …"
Gray had never seen a description of this spider blood beast in the book. However, judging from the aura of the other party, there was no doubt that it was a Law Rank blood beast.
"I wonder what kind of Law ability it has mastered …"
Although more than a hundred people from the House of Arase had died in the mouth of this spider blood beast, they had not seen it use its Law Rank ability so far.
It was not that this spider blood beast did not have any Law Rank ability. The most likely possibility was that the people who died in the House of Arase did not even manage to draw out its Law Rank ability.
