A Cultivation Tale: The Godly Punisher

Chapter 292: Puzzled; Resolution



Chapter 292: Puzzled; Resolution

Some seconds later, Alex and the kids arrived before two middle-aged people who with widened eyes that was full of happiness and joy, and had tears thinly but rapidly streaming down their faces, rushed to their kids like they might disappear in the next second to tightly embrace them.

After they finished hugging their kids, the parent of the kids looked at Alex and said in a sincere tone 'Thank you'

"Don't mention" Alex said.

Then he turned around and left them alone in the large room that they were in.

Few hours later, news of how Alex went to a city that was very far away and returned with the kids of some people that were abducted spread throughout the city.

In a particular room...

"That bastard actually came back alive. Did the fool you gave the kids to allow the boy to leave with them? Was he paid large amount of sapphirstones that he then allowed the boy to leave with the children? I still don't understand" Lenna said.

"I don't understand too. And maybe he paid them to give him the child. 'Cause there is no way a non-soul cultivator would win a battle with a soul cultivator, and a high-stage one at that. Or did he use powerful treasures to slay Rebuke and his men, for they should have overwhelmed him due to their numbers" Maxmillian said.

As they were discussing, their uncle suddenly appeared.

"I just heard news that the boy who killed your brother came back unscathed from a mission to recover the kids of some people. I thought you said that the guy you gave the mission to was a soul cultivator and that he would handle Alex and then deliver him to us? " He asked.

"Well, uncle, I myself don't understand what really happened. I would have to go there to know what really went wrong. And if is true that he was given tremendous sum of sapphirstones to release the kids in his possession, he should be ready to have his soul slain by me" Maxmillian said with a light of viciousness in his eyes.

"Isn't that place very far. It could take you days even with your teleportation power. Don't stress yourself, I can teleport you there. Or we could actually go there together. Transmit the location of the place to me." Their uncle.

Maxmillian nodded and then pointed at his uncle's head. Once he did so, a pencil-sized ray of light shot out from it towards his uncle's head. Then it penetrated into it and turned into a map for the Song of Sinners valley in his head.

"Alright. I have got it." His uncle said.

But before he could do anything, Lenna suddenly said "I would like to go with you people"

"Alright" Their uncle said.

Then stretching a finger out in front of him, a ray of spatialforce energy shot out from it to a few feet in front of him and cleaved the fabric of space.

Once the slit in space was made, Lenna, Maxmillian and their uncle could see the region in the slit.

"Alright. Let's step in before the spatial slit completely heals" Their uncle said.

With a nod of their heads, they went into the slit and appeared directly in front of the cave where Rebuke and his men carried out their missions.

Rebuke could operate in the city just like the other numerous soul cultivators. But because he was a highly notorious and dubious person, the government chased him and a few others out of the city and to never return. Then being the strongest of all the soul cultivators that were chased away from the city, he became their leader when they banded together to form a banditry group. They then turned the valley into their base of nefarious operations.

Once they appeared before the cave, they went in.

"Where are they?" Their uncle asked.

"I don't know. Or did they immediately leave here after collecting a great sum of sapphirstones from that bastard who has an extremely wealthy uncle?" Lenna asked.

"Probably. But I don't think they would do such a thing. Let's go round the whole place first to get clues on what really happened." Maxmillian said and his sister, Lenna and their uncle, Jones nodded.

They looked around observantly to get hints on what actually transpired between Alex, Rebuke and his men.

After they got nothing, Maxmillian then led them into the room where the abducted children were kept in cages.

Then seeing the devastated states of the cages, they all suddenly had the idea that Rebuke's men weren't given any money, but were actually destroyed by Alex, maybe through using some sort of powerful treasures that his uncle bought for him using a great quantity of sapphirstones. But they couldn't confirm what they just thought as they couldn't find the cold and lifeless bodies of the men if truly they were attacked by Alex using a treasure.

"Let us head out. Perhaps we could get more hint outside" Their uncle, Jones said.

"Okay" Lenna and Maxmillian nodded.

Then they all moved out of the cave. And when they came out of it and then separated to individually inspect the whole area, Lenna suddenly shouted from where she had reached from her inspection of the area. "Brother, uncle, come see!"

Once she called for them, her brother and her uncle rushed towards where she was. Then what they saw confirmed that Alex truly used some treasure to slay the overwhelming numbers of outlaw soul cultivators here.

"That's their leader" Maxmillian said pointing at a body that was headless and had many bits of brain and numerous fragments of bones around it.

"Well, we have just confirmed truly that the boy didn't pay them off. But what sort of treasure would he wield to cause the deaths of the fiendish soul cultivators? Is there a treasure-weapon that could destroy souls?" Maxmillian asked, looking at his uncle.

"In this world of mortals, it might be extremely rare to find. But in other worlds like Greatverses and Oververses, they could be as plenty as sands in the desert" Their uncle, Jones replied.

"Hmm" Maxmillian said and nodded.

Then he spoke further "I guess it's time to return"

Jones nodded.

Then pointing into the distance, a beam of spatialforce energy discharged from it to a few feet in front of him and made a large slit in space.

Then they walked into the slit and appeared in their uncle's room in the Ancient Heavenly Cauldron academy.

"We definitely have to revise our plans again. Now that this particular one has failed, we have to come up with a new one. And I don't care how many years this would take us to eventually get our hands on that bastard to kill him." Their uncle, Jones said.

"Yes uncle. Even if it would take us hundreds of years, hundreds of years it would be then" Lenna said.

They were being extremely careful not to alert Alex's uncle. And their reason for this was because of the recent thing that he did which was that he went to the Scarlet Fire academy to slay the instructors and students there and bring down all the buildings of the academy. Although Houston knew that he would make much more enemies because of his unbridled action, he just didn't give a damn about it. They should come in however form they like and in whatever number they like, he just didn't give a hoot about them.

Then as they began to orchestrate a new plan, Alex who was seated in his room began to think of why Rebuke kidnapped those middle-aged people's children and told them to tell him to come help them recover their children. And now that he couldn't figure out the reason why he did it as the soul-attacks that he sent out badly damaged Rebuke's soul and eventually resulted in his death, he felt that more of this kind of thing would happen in the future, and might involve stronger or more powerful soul or energy cultivators.

So, because of this train of thoughts, he hoped that his cultivation would rise more very quickly. At the moment, he had only cultivated energy and his soul to a stage. It still remained body cultivation, and then bloodline cultivation which could also be called 'physique cultivation'.

For the body cultivation part, he had to absorb duraforce energy which was also called 'treasure-armor body transformation energy' from the world and then infuse them into his flesh, bones, bone marrow, blood channels, visceral organs and his delicate sense organs which were his eyes, nose, mouth and ears to make them them extremely strong. Once they were infused with this invincibility body-transmutation energy, they would become impervious to damage and destruction. But he had to discover this energy first and harmonize with it before he can use it to cultivate his body; to make them extremely tough and impermeable. While the bloodline cultivation was to cultivate his inborn physiques. But he had to firstly detect these physiques in his blood and then unlock their different levels of power.

"Yea, that's what I am going to do. I am going to try to cultivate my body and my physiques" Alex said with unbreakable resoluteness in his tone.
