Both the Lavara Family group and the Core Formation Realm demon beast looked at Ruik and Krune simultaneously.

The Leader of the group noticed that Krune was at the 4th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm while Ruik was at the 3rd Stage.

"Are you looking to die? Disappear from my sight before you bring a calamity upon yourself."

Krune ignored that guy and moved to the Demon Beast with the Jade Slip. He took out an extra Spatial Ring and threw it at him.

"Check the content."

That Demon Beast didn't know if Krune was joking or being for real. But when he checked what was inside the Spatial Ring, his eyes lit up. He took the Jade Slip and immediately handed it to Krune.

"It's all yours, thanks for your patronage."

Krune and the others had made quite some money with the Elemental Path Stones after they ran out of effect for them. After Krune made sure to sell them separately online, no one would be able to track it to him or his group. He also sold them at a somewhat lower price so that they could get rid of all of them as fast as possible.

By now, no one in his group would have many problems in forking that price for the jade Slip.

After taking the Spirit Stones from Krune, that amount would be able to last him a very long time. Now that he has gotten it, there is no need to stay in such a place anymore. He quickly packed his things and decided to take the very first teleport formation leading outside the Hakasha Galaxy.

But how could the members of the Lavara Family let him leave this easily?

They immediately surrounded Krune, Ruik, and the Demon beast.

The Leader of their group then came close and said.

"You two are not living for much longer, but I can still let it go if you leave the Jade Slip and all your Spirit Stones behind."

Dilo was about to intervene when suddenly, he received a Divine Sense message from Krune.

"Don't come out, I want to see how things work in a No Laws Zone."

Dilo then stepped back and pretended that he didn't know Krune and Ruik at all. Feifei, Tiane, and Xankruan also didn't seem like they would do anything either.

Krune had obviously just paid the 100 thousand Rank 7 Spirit Stones as if it was nothing. So in the eyes of this group of enemies, he is a very fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Krune and Ruik looked at each other and laughed.

"And just how are you expecting to make us hand over our Spirit Stones? As far as I know, no one can attack us inside the city."

The Leader gave out an Evil Smile and then said.

"That is very simple."

He then took out a dark token and crushed it right there and then. Immediately after, all the spectators took several steps back as if staying close would drag them into the problem.

Not long after, the City Guards appeared in sight. Their Leader was a cultivator at the peak of the Void Breaking Realm while his subordinates were all in the Soul Forging Realm at the very least.

"Who crushed the challenge token?"

The Leader of the Lavara Family group immediately came forward.

"It was me, I want to challenge this idiot here."

The guard nodded and then verified Krune's cultivation.

"Peak of the 4th Stage of the Divine Soul Realm, the challenge proceeds."

Ruik looked puzzled at the guard and asked.

"What is this all about?"

The guard noticed that Krune and Ruik were new to the Eritel Planet and then gave a quick explanation.

"Challenge tokens can be used to settle disputes inside the city, and the other part can't refuse. The rule is that both parts must be in the same Realm. Whether one side dies or not, it doesn't matter. Also, the winner takes all, so whatever you have on you will be the winner's belongings."

Krune thought it to be strange.

"Isn't it too far fetched? In that case, every single cultivator in the Late Stages of a Realm will start to challenge all the others in the beginner stages. In that case, I don't even see a need for this token to exist; just let everyone attack as they wish."

The guard laughed and then pointed at the broken token on the ground.

"Those challenge tokens are very expensive, and the higher the Realm, the more expensive it is to acquire one to battle at their Realm. This guy just crushed a black token of the Divine Soul Realm, which is worth 45 thousand Rank 7 Spirit Stones. Do you think someone would pay that price all the time? The majority of cultivators and demon beasts in this Realm wouldn't have enough treasures to cover this expenditure at all."

Krune and Ruik were taken aback. They didn't expect that it was so expensive to challenge someone inside the city.

He then looked at the Demon Beast at the peak of the Core Formation Realm and asked.

"Doesn't that mean that you will receive one challenge after another after today? After all, I bought your Jade Slip for 100 thousand Rank 7 Spirit Stones."

The demon beast smiled and said.

"A person or beast can only be challenged once per month. Otherwise, no one would come to the city to sell their things anymore. Since I'm in the peak fo the Core Formation Realm, I'm more than willing to accept any challenges. After all, if the fight doesn't conclude in five minutes, the challenger will be considered the loser and will have to pay the price."

Krune was surprised by what he heard.

"Oh, is there such a rule?"

The City Guard nodded.

"If the challenger doesn't finish it in five minutes, he will need to pay the price that his opponent desires. It can be anything. All his belongings, his life, or you can simply force him to give a piece of his soul. In that case, he will become your slave. That's why almost no one issues this kind of challenge in the city. The stakes are too high for the one who is challenging."

Krune finally understood. It would indeed be very risky to be the challenger in this city. Even if a peak Divine Soul Realm challenged a 1st Stage one, if the 1st Stage guy can hold for five minutes, his opponent will lose everything. One never knows what kind of defensive treasures the other part might have, after all. It was evident that this Lavara Family guy acted too much on impulse.

Krune looked at the Leader of the Lavara Family Group and snorted.

"Are you sure you want to go ahead with it? I'm sorry to tell you this, but you are not my match."

Immediately, everyone around got excited. If the Lavara Leader steps down after hearing this, he will become the laughing stock of the city. After all, his opponent is 5 stages below him in the same Realm.

Of course, that guy had no intention to step back to start with.

"I will give you a quick death!"

The City Guard captain nodded to his subordinates, and they immediately set up a battle formation around Krune and the Lavara Family Group Leader. They were not doing it attack them, but to impede any shockwaves from destroying the city around them. Also, to prevent one of them from fleeing now that the challenge was in place.

"Alright, move to that open field at the north. There isn't enough space here."

Krune and his opponent nodded and started walking there. Ruik, who was just beside Krune, decided to ask.

"Do you want me to do it? This kind of opponent will be too boring for you, after all."

The spectators following were taken aback. Not only Krune didn't seem worried, his friend, who was still in the 3rd Stage of the Divine Soul Realm, wanted to fight instead. They couldn't understand where their confidence was coming from.

As for Krune's opponent, he was on the verge of exploding! Both Krune and Ruik are far below him in the Divine Soul Realm, but they acted as if he was nothing but air. He was being thoroughly humiliated in this place.

Krune then looked at Ruik and asked through Divine Sense.

"Can you defeat him in five minutes?"

Ruik pondered a bit and said.

"It depends if he has what it takes to escape my world. But even if he has, holding him back shouldn't pose a problem at all. I don't feel like he can use any laws yet, either. But the main reason is that it would give you no benefits what so ever. As for me, I will be able to try out my skills in someone else other than you."

Krune pondered a bit and then nodded.

"Well, you are right about that."

Krune then looked at the City Guard Captain and asked.

"Is that okay if my friend battle in my place instead? He wants to test out his abilities. I don't feel like I would learn anything from this battle, after all."

The City Guard nodded.

"If your opponent doesn't refuse it, it is no problem. But if he loses, he will have the right to decided both yours and your friends' destiny."

Krune nodded.

"Great! I doubt he would be afraid of fighting someone who has a cultivation realm even lower than mine, right?"

After Krune spoke like that, the guy couldn't possibly back down.

"Why not? I can catch two fishes instead of one. That is perfect!"

With both sides agreeing with the plan, Ruik now became the one fighting instead of Krune.
