As the Universe Powerhouses prepared their part, Krune and Feifei arrived in the Caxton Universe. Of course, they arrived there while keeping themselves hidden inside the Purple Tribulation Lightning from Krune. That assured that they wouldn't be found out while passing by the other Universes. From Cinty's information, the Hure Clan had one Ownerless Heavenly Fragment that hadn't been claimed yet. However, they didn't seem willing to sell it since they were expected to give it to a future Heavenly Fragment Owner.

The Hure Clan was one of the strongest forces in this Universe. However, their own Heavenly Fragment Owner died to the other power's owner before it had the chance to take this Fragment. In the end, they sealed it until the next Heavenly Core fights start again.

"Do you think they will sell it to us? It seems pretty important to them. It would give their next Heavenly Fragment Owner a good boost when he or she appears. Even though Heavenly Fragment Owners appear randomly, with this Clan's Power in the Caxton Universe, I doubt they can't find at least one of them."

Krune nodded, not minding too much.

"Don't worry. Even if they refuse the Purple Flame Equipment, I have a few items that I brought from the Godly Path Realm that they will definitely accept."

Feifei nodded as they spread their Divine Senses. Soon, they found a planet with a relatively large amount of cultivators living in it. They opened a normal Spatial Gate and quickly went there.

The Waqiop Planet was the lair of the Sinclion Sect. At the moment, this Sect was in the middle of a secret meeting with another Sect of the same planet. From the conversation they were having, it seemed like they were planning an attack against a common enemy that appeared recently.

"Your Gbel Sect can really crack open their Protection Formation, right?"

"Don't worry. We have a few insiders that will play this part for us. When the moment comes, it will open. What about your Sinclion Sect? Will you use the Thundergod Spear Formation?"

"Yes. We are ready to activate it at any time. It consumes a massive amount of Spirit Stones, but we couldn't care less at the moment. If we don't stop them, we will have to eventually share the resources of the planet. Now that the Universe Powerhouses released all those top cultivation techniques, resources are more important than never."

Suddenly, a voice came from above the table where they were discussing.

"If I were you, I wouldn't attack the Lestral Sect."

Everyone felt fear as they immediately retreated in a flash.

"Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter! We can't let anyone know about this, or our plan will fail. Attack!"

Both sides immediately used their best skills, aiming all of them at the Rainbow-Haired Figure and the woman beside him. Unfortunately, Purple Space warped around the two, making all the attacks miss their mark. Not only that, but the defense was so good that it also prevented those attacks from causing any damage to the room itself.

"This..."

Seeing how their attacks were utterly useless, the people inside the room couldn't help but feel fear. Only then did they notice that neither of them could see the newcomers' cultivations. Obviously, they were far above any of their members. The Gbel Sect Leader could only change his stance in the end.

"Se-Senior, sorry for offending you."

Obviously, those figures were Krune and Feifei. The highest cultivation on this planet was only the Divine Path Realm. Naturally, these people couldn't do anything to someone like Krune or Feifei.

"It's okay. I only came here to ask for some information. It was then that I heard your conversation by mistake. Anyway, the Lestral Sect is aware of your alliance and has already prepared a trap for you two. Why don't you make a cease-fire deal instead? Resources are important, but your sect members are even more important than that."

Everyone looked at Krune in dismay. Well, they were at least relieved that Krune didn't seem to hold a grudge against them after the attacks.

"Ahem... thank you for the advice, Senior. What kind of information do you require from us?"

Feifei then asked in Krune's instead.

"We came to the Caxton Universe to talk with the Hure Clan. Do you know in which part of the Universe we can find them?"

Immediately, everyone nodded. The Hure Clan was enormous. Even though their planet wasn't inside their territory, they at least knew where to find it. The Sect Master of the Gbel Sect then got Krune's communicator signal and passed the chart of the Universe to him. There, it was possible to find most of the well-known places. Naturally, the Hure Clan's location was there as well.

"Oh, that helps a lot. Anyway, I already prevented your two clans from falling into the trap, so that can be considered my payment. See ya, everyone."

Krune and Feifei then disappeared from the room as if they had never been there.

"What do we do? Can you trust him?"

"Are you an idiot? With that guy's cultivation, he could wipe out our sects on his own. Why would he waste his time lying to us? It's almost certain that there is indeed a trap waiting for us."

"Sigh... If the Lestral Sect rally knows about our meeting already, then they're definitely waiting for our attack. It won't do if we simply disband as if nothing has happened."

"What are you implying?"

"We can pretend that we met to discuss a possible alliance. That would take them by surprise, no? Well, neither of us really want this. However, I definitely don't want to do the opposite of what that senior mentioned. What if he is still observing us?"

Everyone felt a chill on their backs. Just like that, they came out of their secret meeting and called the Lestral Sect. In the future, those three sects would merge together and form a new force that would quickly grow to the same size as the controlling powers of the Caxton Universe. However, that's part of another story.

Krune and Feifei didn't know about anything. They simply opened a Spatial Gate and moved to the Hure Clan's Territory. There, they finally spotted their main planet with their Divine Senses and used one more Spatial Gate to arrive.

The Hure Clan obviously had their own Divinity Realm experts. That being said, they noticed Krune and Feifei outside their planet straight away. However, their Clan Leader was taken aback when he saw Krune's appearance. As long as it was a dominating power, there was no way they wouldn't recognize Krune. After all, his fight against Iem was transmitted to all the Universes related to the Heavenly Competition.

"Aren't you that wisp who disappeared?"

Krune laughed after hearing that.

"Well, that was me indeed. I just came back, so I decided to pay a visit to your Hure Clan."

Their Leader's name was Sopil Hure, a 7th Stage Divinity Realm cultivator. Of course, the Hure Clan had their own Peak Divinity Realm that kept themselves hidden. Nonetheless, Krune and Feifei could feel their Divine Senses paying attention to the two.

Hure was shocked when he saw Krune's cultivation. After all, it had been just 157 years since he was in the Heavenly Competition. How come he already cultivated to that stage? The name 'Wally' immediately came to his mind since everyone believed it was Wally's fault that Krune and Iem disappeared.

"Hahaha! Welcome, welcome! I've never thought that one of the Heavenly Competition Slot Winners would appear in our humble clan. This beautiful lady there should be your wife, correct? I've heard that you were a married wisp. Anyway, please come inside."

Krune and Feifei smiled before accepting Sopil's offer. They were invited to the main hall, where a few of the clan elders were also present. All of them wanted to see this wisp. After all, he was linked to the Wisp God, an expert from the Higher Realms.

"Well then, Krune. I can see that you improved by leaps and bounds in your cultivation since the Heavenly Competition. This makes this old man almost die green from envy. Hahaha! Would you mind sharing the secret behind it?"

Krune laughed before shaking his head.

"Sorry. But Senior Wally made me promise that I wouldn't say it."

Sopil didn't get angry or anything. Who would really tell others such a thing? He was just asking that without any expectation.

"Anyway, what can our Hure Clan do for you? At your level, I doubt there is much we can do anyway."

Krune smiled before saying.

"I heard that your Hure Clan has kept an Ownerless Heavenly Fragment. I would like to know if you were willing to sell it."

In an instant, Sopil's expression changed.

"I'm sorry. But we are keeping it for the next Heavenly Fragment Owners' appearance. We can't give them up."

Krune wasn't the least bit surprised by that. He then looked at Feifei and let her do the talk.

"Now, now, Clan Leader Sopil. I understand your position. First of all, let us make something clear. We have no intention whatsoever of using Senior Wally to threaten your clan. You can be at ease."

Everyone was taken aback. Indeed, everyone watching the meeting had thought about that possibility. Still, the Heavenly Fragment was just too important for the Hure Clan.

Feifei continued.

"Now that we made it clear, could senior Sopil at least hear our offer? I'm sure you will be pleased by it. Even if you don't accept in the end, we will simply leave without making things difficult for the Hure Clan."

Sopil narrowed his eyes and looked at the elders. It was obvious that they were talking through Divine Sense messages. In the end, Sopil nodded his head.

"Very well. There is nothing wrong with hearing what you have to offer."

Feifei and Krune smiled. As long as they were willing to at least hear their offer, Krune and Feifei were sure that they would reach a deal.
