Chapter 2693
Northern King went all the way to his training room.
Many valuable techniques and highly refined spiritual iron were kept inside that room, which was why it
was dered a forbidden ground in Northern Faction.
At least ten warriors would protect the ce day and night on his orders. Not even a fly could enter the
building.
When Northern King arrived, he spoke to the guards. “Listen up, you lot. I''ll be cultivating in seclusion
for a while. It mayst a couple of days or even longer than that. If anyone wishes to speak with me
about something important, direct them to the Elders. Unless we''re at risk of total annihtion, do not
disturb me during this period. Understand?”
The guards nodded. “Understood!”
They were quite curious about what he was up to.
While he often went into seclusion to cultivate, he had never imposed rules as strict as that before.
Hence, they wondered what secret technique he was cultivating this time.
Upon entering the training room, Northern King locked the door and window tight.
Once he ensured no one would notice what he was about to do, he carefully approached a cab
sitting in a corner and pushed it away, revealing an underground tunnel.
Then, he dove into the tunnel and slipped away.
The other end of the tunnel was connected to the primeval forest located in the central district of Theos
Ind.
As that area was a forbidden zone, no one was allowed to step foot inside, not even a Camp Master.
However, the forest was rich in resources. In order to steal those resources, he had dug a tunnel. That
way, he could go there whenever he wanted.
Northern King didn''t expect it toe in handy for other, greater purposes.
Upon reaching the woods, he began searching for the three Camp Master-level warriors.
To his disappointment, he still couldn''t find even a trace of their presence after wandering around their
previous spot for three hours.
While Northern King was fairly certain they had moved and were staying elsewhere, he had no idea
where to find them in the vast forest.
Thus, he opted to wait for them in their previous spot for three full days. Obviously, he wished they
would show up because there wasn''t anything he could do if they didn''t.
Bang, bang, bang!
Phoenix knocked on Zeke''s door loudly.
At the moment, Zeke was focusing on learning how to forge divine weapons.

He frowned and thought, Godd*mmit. Who''s here to bother me again? I told them not to disturb me
unless it''s important!
Annoyed, he opened the door.
Just as he was about to reprimand the visitor, he swallowed his words when he realized it was Phoenix.
This woman again. Ugh, I''m toozy to scold her. She''ll just try to reason with me aggrievedly if I do.
Reasoning with a woman is always a very unpleasant affair.
He asked, “Why are you here, Phoenix?”
In response, Phoenix grumbled, “Look at you! You didn''t shower for days again! Right now, you look as
disheveled as a beggar. Wait, no. I think even a beggar will distance themselves from you. Anyway, I''ll
boil some hot water for you. You need to clean yourself.”
“No need. I''m busy forging divine weapons.”
“Do you think forging those weapons is more important than your life? Aren''t you afraid you''ll stink
yourself to death? Just take a break. I''ll boil you some hot water, wash your head, and tell you
something important.”
Without giving him a chance to reject her, she strode right into his room and boiled water for him.
A sigh of resignation slipped out of his mouth. I''ll just let her do what she wants since I just so happen
to be stuck researching the art of forging divine weapons. Maybe washing my head will bring me some
inspiration.
“What''s the important matter you want to tell me, Phoenix?” Zeke inquired.
Phoenix answered, “Our food supply is running out. It''ll only hold for at most three or four more days.
We''ll starve to death if we can''t find more food in that period.”
“Running out? Where did your foode from in the past?”
