1309 A Gathering of Exiles

"Dazzling Sword…? Is there another name I can address you as?" Yuan asked with a weird look on his face.

"You can just call me Daz then."

"Alright. Then, Daz, what's next?" Yuan asked.

"There's still one last part of the recruitment before you can meet the others." Dazzling Sword said, and he continued, "You see, there's a reason why the Ten Great Families gathered all of us together. Do you know why?"

Yuan pretended to think about the answer before responding, "Is there some kind of insanely hard dungeon that requires this much firepower?"

Dazzling Sword laughed at his answer for a moment before speaking, "Something like that, but it's not a dungeon. It's an Exile."

Yuan acted surprised and exclaimed, "What? The Ten Great Families is doing all of this just for a single Exile?"

"She's not just a mere Exile! She's an Exile from the Asura Clan!" Hu Kaize exclaimed with clenched fists.

'Xiao Hua, act surprised and shout: What?! The Asura Clan?! That's impossible!' Yuan instructed her through divine sense.

"W-What?! The Asura Clan?! T-That's impossible!" Xiao Hua shouted a moment later, but it sounded a bit stiff and unnatural.

"I know it sounds ridiculous, and while there isn't any actual proof, just the possibility of the Asura Clan existing outside the Primordial Realm is dangerous enough for us to work together." Hu Kaize took Xiao Hua's unnatural response as a kind of shock and continued to explain further, "If it's true—that someone from the Asura Clan has managed to acquire the Supreme Heaven's Legacy, we must work together to get rid of her before she gets rid of us! If we don't deal with her as soon as possible, none of us will have a chance of survival!"

"..."

Xiao Hua's eyebrows twitched after hearing such a thing, as Hu Kaize made it sound like her family was the most dangerous thing in this world.

"I-If it's really the Asura Clan, then I am willing to work together with the other Exiles to get rid of her." Xiao Hua said a moment later, following Yuan's instructions again.

"Great. Then until we remove the threat, we are in a truce. If you attack any of the other Exiles for any reason, we will all attack you at once. Do you understand?" Hu Kaize asked, his gaze filled with killing intent.

Xiao Hua silently nodded her head.

"Is that all there is to it? Just hunting this Exile?" Yuan suddenly asked.

"Yeah. What else do you want?" Dazzling Sword nodded. "Oh, are you perhaps asking about the rewards? Don't worry, you'll receive your share once we meet up with the others."

'So the Ten Great Families are purposefully not mentioning the true purpose of their recruitment, huh.' Yuan thought to himself.

"Then what will happen after we finish this quest?" Yuan continued asking.

"We will return to our own journey." Dazzling Sword said. "But if you manage to make a connection with the Ten Great Families, you can probably continue working with them."

"I see… then when are we going to make a move?"

"I'm not sure about that, but from what I've been hearing, we might be moving out very soon."
