Chapter 40 Who Dares to Stay Until Five in the Morning <TOC> Chapter 42 Electrokinesis

Even as an Awakened, one cannot escape the erosion of time, and Kallari awoke in the early hours of the morning from a shallow sleep. As the founder of a Sect, he was unremarkable. He was just an elderly man with a slight hunch, dressed in a loose long-sleeved shirt and wearing a pair of hemp-braided sandals. Only the rough bones on his body hinted at something unusual.
A third-level Awakened can live for around two hundred years. Kallari was already close to 180 years old, and his skills had reached their peak after more than a hundred years of fighting and trials. His mastery of the holy relic was also perfectly integrated into his fighting techniques.
If he were to completely unleash his full destructive power, he would not be any weaker than a fellow third-level Awakened. This is why he could sit on a platform in Avonigarda with such stability. No one would dare to recklessly provoke him, a third-level Awakened with immense strength.
He heard the sound of punches, turned around, and walked to the sand ground of the training grounds with his hands behind his back. It was Karli who was punching, his training clothes already soaked with sweat, and his hair disheveled.
With every punch, his sweat would be shaken into countless fine droplets by his muscles and become a mist surrounding him. The air was directly shattered, producing a thunderous boom, and the fine sand in front of him was blown away in a fan shape.
“Good, Karli, you have learned the essence of my teachings.” Kallari said admiringly.
His sect discipline has the power of an unstoppable iron fist. If one has ten units of power, they will use ten units of power, and if they have twenty units of power, they will use twenty units of power. Their attack is like a storm, destroying their enemies.
“Master.” Karli picked up a towel and wiped his hair and sweat from his face.
“Still worried about what happened during the day?” Kallari said, hands behind his back.
Karli stopped speaking and looked down. The power of Governor Shen was widely known throughout the Xingdu Federation, and their Kallari Sect was considered a local snake in Avonigarda, but compared to Governor Shen, they were no different from ants. Why bother getting involved in it.
“You’re still too young. General Shen’s dominance doesn’t mean that his descendants will also be as strong, let alone a granddaughter who is outside of the core lineage.”
Over a long period of time, the Shen family has become a huge family. Shen Hongshi has forty-seven children, and these children have bred hundreds of generations of grandchildren. By the time they reach the great-great-grandchildren, there are tens of thousands of people.
Among these descendants, only those who inherit Shen Hongshi’s holy bloodline can receive his attention and are referred to as the core lineage by the outside world.
Kallari shook his head.
“Moreover, she can’t stay in Avongarda for too long. Once her goal is achieved, she will leave.”
“Master, do you know something?”
Karli was shocked. He didn’t expect that there was a deeper reason behind the chaotic situation in Avongarda.
“This is a secret forgotten in time. Only those who live long enough can know. In the Avongarda Province, there is a very hidden existence that can only be entered at a specific time. The Spirit Cult knows how to open it, and both the general and the Shen family have set their sights on the treasure there.”
Kallari said after shaking his head. The reason the general didn’t react strongly to the appointment of someone from the Shen family as the chief of security in Avongarda is because he knows that the Shen family isn’t aiming for the general’s position.
“Once they get something from the treasure, the people of the Shen family will naturally leave the Avongarda Province. If we choose to focus on the Shen family, we’ll be stuck in a dilemma.”
Karli’s heart moved. To be targeted by such powerful entities as the Shen family, the general, and the Spirit Cult, the so-called treasure must be extraordinary.
“I’ve been able to live this long because I’ve never coveted anything beyond my abilities. Karli, that treasure is too dangerous. It’s not something we can touch.”
Kallari sighed and said.
“The power of the Kallari Sect, if we obtained the treasure, it would bring great disaster.”
Karli’s heart was not content. Unlike the old Kallari, he was in his prime and ambitious. If he didn’t have any adventures, he would only be the second Kallari, managing such a small training ground.
“That Xia governor was like this. He thought he had the support of the Shen family behind him and was arrogant. He even dared to threaten our Kallari Sect with words. He doesn’t know that he’s already an ant in the fall and can’t jump for much longer.”
A flicker of cruelty passed across the wrinkled face of Kallari Man.
“Wait until the Shen family withdraws from Avonigarda, then find an opportunity to get rid of him. The Kallari Sect is not something that cats and dogs can threaten.”
Karli nodded. In his eyes, killing a security officer and causing trouble is no different from killing a dog, let alone that security officer is a Xia person.
He still remembers the unease he felt from Li Mu. Such a person, killing him before he grows up may be a good choice.
The fewer strong people among the Xia people, the better.
Just then, there was a sudden cry of alarm at the gate.
Kallari master and disciple suddenly heightened their vigilance, leaping like a jumping star towards the gate of the Taoist temple.
The gatekeeper ran into the Taoist temple, panting and peeing, and fell to the ground, struggling to get up.
The veteran Kallari grabbed him by the collar.
“What happened!?”
“Bod… bod… body, someone… there’s a dead body… hanging at the gate of the Taoist temple.”
“What!”
Kallari was so angry that he smoked from seven orifices, almost killing the gatekeeper in his hand. Throwing the gatekeeper away, he flashed out of the Taoist temple.
Only a corpse was seen hanging from the door of the training ground using ropes, swaying slightly. A broom was still dropping, it should have been the guard who had gotten up to sweep the floor and dropped it in shock when he discovered the corpse.
“It’s… It’s Tempur!”
Karli exclaimed, recognizing the identity of the corpse.
“Could it be… that Xia person?”
He remembered Li’s conflict with Tempur before he left the training ground.
“What a bold young man!”
Kallari’s face was pale, with blue veins bulging.
Others in the training ground also heard the commotion and came to the door.
The training ground does not provide accommodation, and those who stay at the training ground are Kallari’s disciples. They knew what had happened, and the crowd was immediately angry, shouting to fight and kill.
“Calm down! What do you want to do?!”
Kallari was the first to calm down. The Shen family had gone to great lengths to bring that Xia person to Avonigarda, and their plan must have depended on Xia person.
Refusing the Xia person and killing him are two completely different things, and the latter will directly put Kallari’s Sect on the opposite side of the Shen family.
Kallari cannot bear such a risk, this is the tragedy of the weak.
