Following Krann's departure, Konrad sat crossed legged within his cultivation chamber to refine Soul Expansion Pills and pursue the second layer of the Infernal Soul Devouring Art. In a flash, the daylight made way for the darkened sky and descending night.
Konrad's body bathed in dark fog, and though he made considerable progress, the second layer still eluded him. As the dark fog dispersed, Krann's voice echoed within Konrad's mind.
"Master, the ambush is a success. The entourage slaughtered, the betrothal gifts pocketed, and the third prince maimed. As you commanded, I forced him to swallow the Phantasm Orchid."
The average Holy Knight could reach a speed of one-hundred kilometers per second. Therefore, in a few minutes, Krann's ambush was ready. He picked a spot far from the Prosperous Wind Capital but still within their sphere of influence to await their third prince's passage and carry out his assault.
That's it for two days. We resume with two tomorrow and for the remainder of the week...hopefully.
