Bab 325: Recruitment (3)

The whale turned around with surprised eyes. There, the figure of the man, looking worn out and much older than he remembered, appeared. There were no doubts, and his shock only increased; it was the patriarch of the Divinestone clan.

'How the hell is he still alive?' Bruno thought dryly.

Alm and Bruno fled from the clan, stealing that bloody rune that was being secretly generated. That rune was very close to completion, and a divine clan was responsible for it. As soon as they escaped, a divine cultivator appeared in the sky, alerted by the theft; Ruri was responsible for that. (Chapter 49)

According to logic, this cultivator would unleash his fury on the small Divinestone clan, and hopefully, some would survive and try to keep the clan. Their patriarch leader? He should never come out alive from this situation, let alone the main elders. That's why Alm and Bruno felt no fear in coming to the sect.
