Divine Talent Born Mortal 279 Sword Sect Again 3

Still, that had been a good thing for the sect that had to clear their territory from members of the soul-eater organization and now they thought it could do a great job.

Another thing they realized was that they had to give more difficult missions so that Lu Bi could teach Zhang Yi some things, so despite being risky, they gave a mission to chase and kill a group of Sword Sect deacons who had fled after being discovered.

They had betrayed the sect and committed many crimes in one of the sect's territories, this mission would normally be given to the sect's elders to do, but they thought Lu Bi would have the strength to kill these deacons and Zhang Yi could find out where they fled.

After a few days Lu Bi was ordered to do another mission and was surprised that not expecting another mission too quickly, naturally, she understood that the last mission had been a failure thinking about what the elders wanted.

The problem was that they could not simply send Zhang Yi to do the missions because he had a special status in the sect, so she had suggested that the missions were only after a while so that Zhang Yi had no reason to refuse.

Contrary to her expectations, Zhang Yi calmly agreed to do another mission, and even though he didn't understand the sect's motives for doing so, he really wanted more time to help Lu Bi get stronger.

Lu Bi used teleportation again to take them to the other territory of the sect and soon began to investigate where the traitor deacons had fled, this mission was more complicated because deacons could have fled far away, but it was easier because Zhang Yi had more information about the investigated ones.

It took Zhang Yi only a few hours to find out some information about the deacons and find out which direction they had fled, after a few days having to ask the surrounding villages about information about these deacons. Zhang Yi had finally found a trail for him to continue using his mental energy.

They were 5 deacons and they just wanted to flee as far as possible from Sword Sect territory, they were confident that the Realm of Emptiness elders couldn't reach them before they crossed the border.

Moreover, they thought that Sword Sect would not send elders from the emperor's realm nor warriors who had an advanced understanding of the laws of space nor warriors who cultivated mental energy.

So they just fled straight to the border as soon as possible, after discovering that Zhang Yi asked Lu Bi to go a long way using teleportation and then he would track them again.

With this tactic, the great distance the deacons had advanced before was useless because of the laws of space, after a few days of persecution Zhang Yi can see that the deacons were close to where they were.

The problem was that the 5 deacons had split into two groups, one had 3 deacons and the other had 2 deacons, the weakest two in one direction and the strongest three in the other direction.

Normally Zhang Yi would suggest that they split up, but he feared that Lu Bi would not be able to fight one of the groups and so would end up dying, but it seemed that the two groups were almost crossing the border and the other territory they were going to was enemies from Sword Sect.

As a righteous sect, the Sword Sect could not simply invade a sect and kill someone without permission and an enemy sect would never approve of such a thing just to further irritate the Sword Sect.

"The deacons have split into two groups, one has the 3 strongest deacons and the other has the weakest 2 deacons, the two groups are close to escaping across the border, so we have to separate too."

"No Zhang Yi, this is very dangerous for you, all these deacons are at least on the second level of the Realm of Emptiness and you are only on the first level of the Soul Refinement realm."

"I know what I'm doing and I don't have time to explain, you go after the group of three deacons because they went straight and after a few teleports toward the border you reach them, but if something happens to run away with your teleportation."

After saying this Zhang Yi used teleportation towards where the other group of deacons fled, seeing this Lu Bi was surprised because he did not know that Zhang Yi had an understanding of the laws of space.

But it also made her more confident that Zhang Yi could really fight the two deacons and went after the other group, Zhang Yi chose the group of two deacons because they were running away and changing direction as if they feared someone like Zhang Yi was behind there.

But it didn't matter because after a few teleporters they were within the range of Zhang Yi's mental energy and could no longer escape, Zhang Yi was in a hurry and teleported to where they were and killed the two swinging the spear once slashing them both in half.

After Zhang Yi headed toward the border where Lu Bi was and arrived when she had killed the first of the three deacons, two of the three were on the fourth level of the Realm of Emptiness and the first she killed was on the third level of the Realm of Emptiness.

Lu Bi was surprised to see how Zhang Yi arrived shortly after she arrived and did not understand what happened, Zhang Yi did not explain and using his spear easily killed both deacons leaving Lu Bi not knowing what to do.

"What happened here? How did you kill these elders so easily and have an understanding of the laws of space?"

"Even though I'm only at the first level of Soul Refinement realm, my full strength is from someone at the peak of Realm of Emptiness, I've always been that way since I started cultivating, and I have a talent for understanding the laws of space and the laws of water."

"Water too? And what is your understanding? Intermediate or advanced understanding?"

"I have a supreme understanding of the laws of space and supreme understanding of the laws of water as well."

Hearing this Lu Bi had a hard time believing, she was over 2,500 years old and still had an advanced understanding of space laws and intermediate understanding in water laws and Zhang Yi was saying she already had supreme understanding in both laws less than 40 years old.

She had already accepted that the difference in talent between them was very large because Zhang Yi was at the first level of the Soul Refinement realm and also cultivated mental energy in the eighth realm at least under 40 years old.

But she thought she could at least teach Zhang Yi something about the laws and thus improve his understanding, but it seemed like all this was a ridiculous idea if not even her master and many cult elders could teach Zhang Yi anything.

"I don't understand, because your master let someone as talented as you come to Sword Sect and not keep you in her sect anyway, you have two elders who would definitely want you in their sect."

"The truth is that the biggest reason behind this is the soul-eater organization, my two masters belong to two of the greatest divines of the divine plane and didn't expect me to be so talented when they started teaching me."

"But as I had a talent for cultivating qi and mental energy, they decided to continue teaching me everything they knew, after reaching the divine plane they understood that it did not seem right for me to enter one of the sects and abandon one of my teachers."

"They also hate the organization of the soul-eaters who nearly killed them and their family very much, so they thought it best for me to join one of the largest sects who had no danger of infiltrating the organization, and Sword Sect went to that I chose."
