The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Chapter 177: Ch 177: Starting a New Life

What she witnessed after looking up was Lan with teary eyes, Colinde with impressed eyes and finally Rein with kind eyes. Both Mei and Himiko were expressionless for the most part but still one was able to see a little bit of worry in their eyes. Lu Shi's circumstances were just too bad and the way she was still able to get back up was just amazing.

According to Rein's values Lu Shi's intention for revenge was justified. But still killing off a whole city was way too extreme and Rein wanted to find a different way she would be able to take revenge on the people who were responsible for her hardships.

So Rein spent some alone time with Lu Shi and had a very long conversation with her. He wanted to know more about her and at the same time he wanted her to know more about him, Colinde and Lan too. Rein first calmed her down from her emotional state which was actually a simple thing to do as Lu Shi without a doubt was very nature emotionally.

After that long conversation was over, Rein came out of the room with Lu Shi while holding each other's hands. Both of them had a constructive conversation and now they were best of friends. Lu Shi was going to stop planning the destruction of the city and Rein was going to help her with the process of taking revenge on the other two sects who were now ruling over the city after destroying her life.

...

That day Rein left the city and went back to the Divine Scale Pavillion. Using her intelligence to destroy those sects with scheming was something Lu Shi was fine with. But somewhere in her heart she wanted to become as strong as her father and mother, and wanted to take revenge on those two sects openly while telling the whole world about their wrongdoing.

So Rein gave her the proposal to come with him to the Divine Scale Pavillion and there with Rein's recommendation and her talent Lu Shi would be able to get the full support of the sect. Then she just needed to practice hard on her cultivation and Lu Shi would soon become strong enough to fulfill her dreams with her own hands.

So for the time being she decided to forget about this city and about her revenge. She was going to train very hard in order to become stronger as soon as possible. Then in an opportune time when her strength would be enough, she would strike to fulfill her revenge.

Rein was a bit surprised as he had no idea what this declaration was about. So he asked Mei to explain the matter to him. Mei was already given permission to check everything that was delivered to this address, so she had obviously also read this declaration declaration.

Mei then told Rein about the declaration. There was a rule in the sect that once every month one of the low ranking disciples would be able to challenge a higher ranking one. Rein was also no exception to this rule. So it turned out that one of the super confident core disciples had challenged Rein for a duel for his position as a Lead Core disciple.

Rein had to accept this challenge to maintain the prestige of that position.

Rein had not joined the sect for too long so he had not expected that someone would be shameless enough to challenge him, a new disciple. In the eyes of other disciples he was still supposed to be an initial cultivator who had cultivated for just a few months.

Rein then asked Mei more information about the person who was the challenger. Mei was very dedicated to her job so she had definitely gathered some information about this person before coming to inform Rein about this declaration. And Rein's guess was correct and Mei told him all about that core disciple.

That core disciple was named Houski. He was quite talented and was able to reach the Heavenly Platform realm after just three years of cultivation. A high elder of the sect got interested in his talent and took him as his disciple. At that time he also became a core disciple of the sect.

At that time he had thought that he had reached the pinnacle in the sect but then he learnt about the position of lead core disciple. So he immediately tried to take that position. But the position of the Lead Core disciple was too important to the sect and Houski was not qualified to take that position.

After hearing about this Rein understood why he was challenged. This person had thought that Rein would be an easy target and that was the reason why he challenged Rein. Rein then asked when this duel was going to take place and he was told that it would happen in two days. Rein smiled slightly and got ready for this upcoming battle.
