"How did you find out about this?" The Principal turned to Grey anxiously.

"Old man Gerald told me about it a few minutes ago. I have a communication device that I use in talking to him," Grey replied.

"Damn it!" Klaus clenched his fists angrily.

"Can you confirm when they were caught?" The Principal asked calmly.

They couldn't rush into making any decisions since it might be a trap for them. Information is a valuable asset in their current situation, a simple misinformation could easily lead them into a trap.

He didn't doubt the credibility of the Lenz organization, but there's also a chance that the Blue Wind Empire found a way to spread false information, and old man Gerald only told Grey out of his worry for him.

"Alright," Grey nodded before communicating with old man Gerald.

After a few minutes of silence, he told the Principal what old man Gerald said. When the Principal heard the location of where the duo was caught, his calm expression changed. If he was previously scared because of misinformation, now he was a hundred percent certain that they were caught.

He originally sent the duo on an errand to meet up with a friend of his around the borders of the Blue Wind Empire. That was their destination.

"That bastard, to think that he would betray me," The Principal said angrily.

"What do we do now?" Grey asked the Principal.

"I'm going to save them. They were caught last night, so there's still hope for us before they are taken to the Capital. And since the Blue Wind Empire aren't sure if any of you is in possession of the Great Earth Essence Liquid, they wouldn't be too hard on them. They also know that Blake and Delia aren't their targets. The only reason they were caught was their connection with me," The Principal said.

"You can't go alone father, we can help," Klaus rejected the idea of his father going alone.

"Stay here and keep still, I can't take the risk of taking you along. You're the reason they were captured, you going there will put you in danger," The Principal looked at Klaus sternly.

"That's all the more reason I have to go. I can't just stay here and watch as you head into a trap," Klaus said.

"We might be of some use, sir," Grey stepped up as well.

"No, you four will stay here and continue your training. Once I've settled things there, I'll come back," The Principal said.

"Staying close to you is safer, also, we can also render assistance if you need any. I have a special method of traveling, but I'll have to set up an array first," Grey tried persuading.

The Principal didn't know of his space element, he could hide it under the guise of an array. The array used in entering the trial land will make things easier for him.

After continuous persuasion from the group, the Principal finally agreed to let them come with him, only under the condition that they did exactly as he said.

The group agreed to his condition, and they started their journey towards the border of the Qilin Empire, just by the Blue Wind Empire.

Before they left, Grey made a teleportation array by the waterfall, so that they could use it in escaping at a desperate time.

….

Later that day.

The group got to the border separating the Qilin and Blue Wind Empire. Since they could all fly, it didn't take them too long. After four hours of constant flight, they got to their destination.

When they got there, there were warriors from the Qilin Empire, walking around the woods, trying to locate spies from the Blue Wind Empire that were trying to cross into the empire.

The Principal was able to easily hide his aura from the warriors, Grey and Void followed suit. The other three had a little difficulty with it, but the Principal waved his hands, and the problem was solved.

Grey was in the midst of creating an array to help with hiding their aura, when he saw the Principal had already helped out, he stopped.

With everything prepared, the group sneaked through the woods, entering into the Blue Wind Empire with no fuss. The Principal's plan was for them to kidnap a warrior, then extract information from the said warrior.

It didn't take long before they found their first target, but it was unsuccessful. This person had no clue about Blake and Delia's capture.

The Principal quickly knocked out the warrior, before using his superior spiritual energy to try to manipulate the memories of the warrior.

He couldn't get information from it, he only wanted to erase the meeting between them. Killing the warrior would've been the easier option, but if this warrior were to be killed, it would alert the others that there was a threat in the woods. Since this wouldn't be the only person they would interrogate, they couldn't kill everyone they encountered.

….

Thirty minutes later.

"We need to head deeper into the empire, I think only those at the Overlord Plane might have a clue about the whereabouts of the Instructors," Grey suggested after over thirty minutes of fruitless interrogations.

The Principal agreed to his suggestion, and they started to head deep into the empire.

According to the message they received, Instructor Blake and Delia were caught at the border of the Blue Wind Empire, and the Principal's friend was also staying around there.

The only reason they didn't head to that spot immediately was the fear of it being crowded with people. Normally, he would have to go and search for Blake and Delia if they didn't return soon, and his friend's place was where he would go since that was where he sent them to.

The only advantage they currently have is that no one knew he had broken through to the Sage Plane. When he helped Klaus the last time, he made sure to kill the person who captured him.. The only reason the news of the battle spread out was that some passersby were around.
