[Chapter 165 Comments]

[Adam_Balch_7324: Good luck]

Theo raised his hand as the light on the mark of his spirit began to blink, selecting his weapon for the next hour.

To his surprise, he got one of the most powerful weapons in his repertoire, the sword.

"Oh?" Theo couldn’t help but look at the comment with a smile on his face. "I guess that ’Good luck’ is helping me this time. But it’s rather annoying not to know what happens to my daughter. Considering there are no comments about it, it seems that the author doesn’t show anything."

Theo’s expression became serious as he wondered what he should do next. Unlike the others, he didn’t know much about this world.

He cast his gaze into the horizons, wondering if there was a weird fluctuation of essence or not since that would be the clue.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t find anything, so there was only one place he could go: the hill.

Theo planned to use the hill to see the situation around him.

As expected of a strategic location, the hill seemed to have been taken by the natives of this place. Two horses descended the hill as soon as they noticed Theo. The horses looked far different than anything he had seen so far.

The horses were completely white and emitted a weird fluctuation of energy. At the same time, the horses looked robust as they didn’t care about the trees in front of them and just crushed them with their charge.

Theo raised his sword. Although the horses looked quite strong, it wouldn’t be hard for him to kill them with a single slash. So, he waved down his sword, sending that energy toward the horses.

However, right after his hand swung down, he noticed a woman suddenly jumping off the trees with her blade as though she wanted to kill these horses.

"!!!" Theo was startled and hurriedly changed his aim. Still, forcefully changing the flow of the energy after it was programmed was quite hard even for him.

The slashes ran through the ground and only changed their directions at the last second, hitting a few trees on their path.

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

"!!!" Not only the horses, but the woman was also shocked by the sudden slashes. She turned her head around, finding a man of the same age. It was most likely that he was the one who unleashed such a powerful skill.

Even the horses were scared after witnessing Theo’s ability and abruptly stopped.

’Why does a woman appear? I don’t think I felt her earlier… This is weird. With my senses, I should have felt her… Or does she have something special that can completely erase her presence?’ Theo frowned. There were a lot of questions in his mind, but one thing was more important than the others. Why would the person appearing before him be a woman?

Now that he thought about it, he had encountered a lot of women on the last couple of missions.

’Did the author provide a kind of fan service for the readers? I don’t care if they are men or women since I already have a wife, but I guess it doesn’t really matter.’ As Theo said, what other people saw might be a female, but in his eyes, she was actually a guide.

He wondered if he could use her to explain things and make her a guide to their goal. He also needed to find Mia during the process. Although Mia’s strength was extremely high, it would be troublesome if he got surrounded by a lot of people.

With that thought in mind, Theo leaped forth.

"!!!" The woman raised her sword, thinking that Theo wanted to kill her.

However, Theo actually stopped in front of the horses instead of her as though he had no interest in her.

The horses were startled and wanted to attack him, but Theo released his killing intent. The killing intent petrified the horses as though they were in front of an apex predator.

"If you can understand me, be good or I will kill you."

*Ngiiieeek!?*

The horses were shocked, but what was more shocking was their intelligence. The horses actually stopped and even lowered their heads as if obeying Theo.

Now that he couldn’t kill the horses because of the woman, he thought about using them to travel while conserving his energy.

After subduing the horses, Theo couldn’t help but look at the woman before pointing his sword. "Who are you?"

The woman had brown hair. Her long hair was loose in the back, and the top was pulled back to create a pair of small loops. Her clothes were rather unique. She wore a rose-embroidered one-piece dress that reached her knees and was tied by a red shawl on the stomach. It was rather impractical to fight in his opinion, but then again, this was another world, so he didn’t bother to impose his ideal on them.

The woman’s temperament looked innocent and youthful, but he could see the slight cunningness in her gaze. It was proven further when the woman wanted to ambush the horses from above earlier.

"I…" The woman panicked. She simply couldn’t believe what she had just seen. ’Who is this man? Did he just subdue the White Dragon Horses? How did he do it? And what was that ability earlier? If he wanted to kill me, I would have sliced into pieces.’

Theo remembered what Mia said about people’s IQ being lower than beasts, so he reminded her with a cold tone. "Think what you’re about to say first."

The woman gulped down. Under Theo’s threat, she wanted to use her influence to save her life, but it didn’t seem that Theo wanted to kill her. At the same time, it didn’t look like Theo was aware of her identity, which was odd.

"I am… Qin Beihe from the Green Flower Ridge." She introduced herself, her tone was hesitant and hoarse as though she didn’t know what Theo wanted to do.

On the other hand, Theo recalled some information about this world. There were a total of six great sects in this land, and Green Flower Ridge was one of them.

"If you leave now, I won’t do anything to you," said Theo with a nod as if he were sparing her life.

Qin Beihe had two options. Her instinct was telling her that this man was dangerous and far stronger than what she saw, so it was clear that she had to leave. On the other hand, this was also an opportunity. From Theo’s clothes, it didn’t seem that he was affiliated with any influences.

Someone with Theo’s strength should be famous, so the fact that he wasn’t meant that he could become a dark horse.

Since she was separated from the rest of the group, she thought of asking Theo’s help. It would make the journey safer.

That was why despite receiving the opportunity, Qin Beihe stood still.

"Did you not hear me?"

While her body was shaking, Qin Beihe cupped her hands politely and said, "I wonder if I can ask your excellency’s name. And would you like to cooperate with me?"

Theo frowned upon this opportunist, but then again, it would be useful to make her his guide. There were two horses that they could use. Although he reserved it for Mia later, he knew that he might put them to use for now.

"What can you even do?" Theo looked down on her, setting an attitude to pressure her until she gave some information.

"I… I can lead the way for you. This place is known to be dangerous, but I have a star map that can lead us to a safe place. I believe that the other sects are also planning to go to the same place."

Hearing this confirmed his suspicion. It looked like this girl had an important status, which made her even more useful.

"Hmm…" Theo thought for a moment before turning back to the horses. "Since you can understand me, will you help us go to our destination? If so, then I promise to take care of both of you."

The White Dragon Horses were staring at Theo. Unlike humans, the horses could see the true nature of the person before them. The killing intent was real earlier, but at the same time, they could feel the sincerity of this man.

The horses suddenly lowered their heads as if acknowledging Theo’s words.

Theo smiled while stroking their heads. Qin Beihe was stunned to see Theo tame the beasts with only a few words. She had never heard or seen anyone be able to tame this horse this way. Most people who tamed a beast would use a lot of items or require a very long time to bond.

Theo then returned to her. "I will listen to what you have to say, so hop on." Stay updated through novelbuddy

With a single wave of his hand, a saddle was placed on top of each horse as though it came out of his Space Ring.

"Where do we have to go?" Theo asked while climbing a horse.

Qin Beihe was still hesitant, wondering if this horse would attack her or not. But after showing no aggression when she approached it, Qin Beihe gently climbed the horse.

’This horse might not be stronger than me, but it’s still a Foundation Establishment Stage horse. To think that I would be able to ride a beast this powerful…’ Qin Beihe shuddered, recalling the information about this horse. ’The White Dragon Horse has a dragon bloodline in their body. It makes them extremely strong, and when it’s releasing its power, people say that dragon scales are said to appear. Although they are not true dragon, they still have a dragon bloodline.’

However, she soon snapped back to reality, remembering Theo’s question. She hurriedly took out a compass from her Space Ring. The compass looked normal, but when it was infused with essence, the needle began to spin uncontrollably for a few seconds before pointing to the north. "We have to go this way."

She pointed to the east.

"Let’s go." Theo whispered to the horses as they began to run. Their speed was extremely fast. Even Theo might lose slightly in terms of speed. At the same time, he didn’t feel that much shaking despite running at this speed. He whispered, "You’re quite good."

*Ngieeh!*

The horse responded as though it were happy with the praise.

Qin Beihe could only look at this mysterious man, not knowing what to say. She couldn’t say anything weird in case she ended up offending him.

Luckily for her, Theo opened the conversation by asking, "So, what do you know about this realm?"

Qin Beihe felt a bit weird about the question. She thought that people should have heard some information about this realm, yet Theo acted like he wasn’t aware of anything.

Then again, Theo must have his circumstances, so she should ignore it this time. She explained, "This realm is said to be the ancient land where the Fist Emperor trained in his youth. The beasts in this place are strong and the Fist Emperor actually fought them with his fists in the past.

"And the place we’re currently heading is the Fist Emperor’s Palace. There should be a huge palace in the vast grassy plain. Legend said that only those who are qualified to enter can walk past the gate."

"So, not anyone can enter? What do you mean by qualification? Is it talent, current strength or…" Theo tilted his head in confusion.

"There are no details describing that part unfortunately."

"In that case, what do you know about the portal?"

"The portal? Ah! Even we didn’t expect that we would be teleported randomly. The sect wanted us to directly find the palace, head inside before anyone else, and help fellow disciples."

"How about the size of this plain?"

"I’m not very sure. According to the legend, even if you go in one direction for a whole day, you won’t be able to find its edge."

’It seems that she doesn’t know the principle about teleportation.’ Theo thought for a moment. It seemed that he had to go to this palace. Knowing how smart his daughter was, she should be able to find this information and come to the palace immediately.
