Chapter 608: Get Out Of There!

Qilin Empire.

Grey and his friends were still staying in the town close to the borders. It has been five days now since the war started, and things had started to heat up.

Even though they weren't too close to the battlefield, they could feel the vibrations from the impact caused by the attacks.

"Father, don't you think it will be best for us if we leave this place? Some of the townspeople are already moving out," Klaus suggested.

"No, from what I know, the Qilin Empire has the upper hand and is slowly forcing the forces of the Blue Wind Empire back. If any of us is seen, it would be disastrous for us," The Principal rejected Klaus' idea.

"Hmm, alright father," Klaus replied with a dull expression.

Honestly, the more he has to hide, the more hatred he develops for all four empires searching for them. Out of boredom, theyVe even pressured Grey to ask old man Gerald about the identity of the young man who exposed Grey having the Great Earth Essence Liquid.

It didn't take a day before the report was given to them. Klaus and Reynolds planned on giving this person a slow death, making sure he suffers for all their present sufferings.

Grey had been working on his arrays lately, for some reason, he had been getting an uneasy feeling, it was as if he could sense something bad wanted to happen, but he didn't know what it was. He wasn't the only one getting this feeling, even Void was feeling the same.

At first, he thought it might be as a result of their connection, but Void said he could sense an eerie aura, something vile. Grey on the other hand couldn't sense it.

Grey told the others of his feelings, and they brushed it to the side, saying it was a result of the current war going on, and them being so close to it. Even the Principal didn't think too much of it, only somewhat increasing his vigilance.

Grey finally decided it was best to send Void out, this was the best thing to do. With Void's abilities and his size, it would be impossible for anyone to notice him. As long as no one notices him, he could give Grey all the latest updates happening on the battlefield.

With Void gone, Grey decided it would be best to make a teleportation array in the house they were staying in. This will help them in case of any mishaps. There are multiple places they could go within seconds, so it was better to be prepared.

Two more days went by.

The vibrations from the battlefield were getting stronger by the day. Void had been keeping Grey updated about the battle while the others were lazing around or training.

The Principal was trying to see if he could make any advances in his cultivation while they were here. Klaus and Reynolds were lazing around as expected, with Alice mostly training.

Instructor Blake and Delia were mostly out of sight, although whenever they were seen, they were training as well. They could all feel pressure on their shoulders as if things might escalate at any given moment.

A week of constant battle and the Qilin Empire is said to have advanced considerably into the territory of the Blue Wind Empire. From what old man Gerald said, things were not going too well for the Blue Wind Empire.

On the same day, Grey got a piece of news that surprised him, and he was forced to call on the others.

"The Azure Empire has joined the Stellar and Qilin Empire in attacking the Blue Wind Empire's troops," Grey reported to the others.

"What?" The Principal and the others exclaimed in disbelief.

"According to Void, the forces of the Blue Wind Empire at the borders close to the Qilin Empire had started retreating the previous day, this was as a result of the Azure Empire suddenly attacking them..." Grey went on to explain the situation to them.

There was a misunderstanding between the Azure Empire and the Blue Wind Empire and it caused a rift between the partnership of the two empires. According to old man Gerald, the Azure Empire demanded for the Instructors, but the Blue Wind Empire said they didn't have them. Of course the Azure Empire thought the Blue Wind Empire only said this because they wanted to be the ones to capture Grey and his friends.

"Isn't this a little bit too risky for the Azure Empire? If they were to eliminate the Blue Wind Empire, then they would lose their only ally. The Qilin and Stellar Empires would be able to easily take them down with a pincer attack," Blake said after Grey finished with his report.

"That's what everyone is saying, but the Azure Empire is acting strangely, as if possessed by something," Grey replied.

"Hmm, this is getting a little complicated. Do you think it's a plan from both empires to confuse the others?" The Principal asked.

"It might be, but there have been some heavy casualties on the side of the Blue Wind Empire as a result of this. If this truly is a plan between the two empires, then I feel sorry for those pawns who had to die unnecessary deaths," Grey replied.

The fighters of the Blue Wind Empire were dying from being overwhelmed by the numbers, there was no way the Emperor of the empire would be that selfish and evil.

"You're right, even the Qilin Empire wouldn't carelessly fall for this. They will exercise caution as they advance," The Principal said.

The group was still in the middle of their conversation when Grey suddenly felt a surge of uneasiness. It was like a dark, eerie feeling overwhelmed him.

Everyone sensed his sudden change and tumed to him.

"Is everything alright?" Klaus was the first to ask.

'Grey, get out of there now! Some terrifying people are coming,' Grey received a panicked message from Void at the same moment.

What... what are you saying?' He asked.

'Leave that place, go anywhere else, 1'11 find a way to come to you,' Void urged.

Grey didn't think about it anymore and instantly tried to activate the teleportation array in the building. He had already placed all the stones needed just for a scenario like this.

But his expression changed drastically when it didn't work..
