"Lexi, you..."

"You don\'t need to say anything. I will immediately start treating her; however, you already know, right?"

"Don\'t worry. I will make sure to comply with anything you want later."

"Good! My request won\'t be that simple next time, since this will probably make me spend every single bit of Spiritual Energy I have."

Lexi started to use the Spiritual Energy she had gathered in the abyss, transforming it into her natural cleansing powers. Through Seth\'s soul connection with Serene, she entered her soul space just to discover how polluted it was.

There was a dense purple fog taking control of everything around there. Lexi felt like she had suddenly entered inside an abyss that was even darker than the one Seth had brought her to, some days ago.

Lexi\'s body was like a blob of light, illuminating the whole soul space. It was just natural that the purple fog would try to take control over her as well; however, when it tried to even approach her body, it started to be instantly cleansed.

The reaction that happened when both powers entered in contact with each other, was just like how water and fire behaved. However, if the purple fog were to be considered the fire, then it was not able to make the water evaporate in any way.

Looking at the high quantity of purple fog hovering inside her soul space, Lexi realized it wouldn\'t be a simple task to cleanse it all. Velgor had used too much Mana creating this dense fog, what complicated things even more, making Lexi\'s work harder.

Vlegor planned to use Serene as one of his trump cards, so he had really used a lot of Mana to make the Banshee Crystal Core take control over her soul. Unfortunately for him, he didn\'t know of Lexi\'s existence, a variable that would make his future plans crumble to pieces.

While Lexi was working on improving Serene\'s condition, Seth chose a certain direction and started to sprint. He knew that Qiao Xuan was probably following him and he wouldn\'t stay behind to wait for that man. If he didn\'t have to protect Serene, he would stay and fight, but with her on his arms, it was a totally different matter.

If something were to happen to her, he wouldn\'t forgive himself for choosing to stay.

Seth\'s body blurred and he merged with the shadows, increasing his speed while moving far away from that area. But just as he thought things were going his way, a golden lightning struck down at the area he was in while generating a blinding flash.

At the moment it was about to hit him, Seth quickly evaded that attack, jumping sideways. He made sure to protect Serene\'s body with his Mana, avoiding anything bad happened to her.

Katcha!

The whole floor received a punishment from the heavens and many boulders and trees instantly turned into powder.

From the area where the golden lightning had struck down, Qiao Xuan\'s figure appeared. There was a golden radiance around him, exuding his Mana Sovereign prestige in an attempt to pressure is enemies. The energy circling his body was nothing like the energy that circled the other people from the Lion\'s Pride Golden Palace. Around him, there seemed to be the aura signature of a king; an almighty Lion King.

"Do you think you\'re going to fucking mess with my ancient sect and leave like that? I don\'t know why Velgor decided to turn this into a death feud between our sects, but I won\'t rest until all of you die!"

Seth watched as Qiao Xuan built his own narrative about what was happening, but his mind was actually thinking about how he would successfully escape from that situation.

He understood that to successfully escape from a person like Qiao Xuan, he would have to spend all his Mana on his dark teleportation technique, together with a great amount of luck. However, Seth couldn\'t be counting with luck in a time like this, he had to take the most certain road.

Qiao Xuan didn\'t want to dialog as well, he was already enraged by what had happened before and if he knew that his son and woman were already dead, he wouldn\'t be just furious, but acting like an unstoppable madman.

The Lion King didn\'t take any more time fooling around and raised his hand upwards throwing a cluster of golden light towards the clouds high above that area.

Seconds later, Seth looked up and a huge yellowish thunderbolt struck down towards him.

Katcha!

The golden lightning merciless descended, destroying everything on the ground, turning it into powder. But the target of his rage wasn\'t struck, since he had merged with the shadows, quickly leaving from the area the lightning had hit.

However, Qiao Xuan just made sure to focus on his enemy\'s energy signature, letting his golden lightnings do the dirty work for him.

Seth used his Shadow walk to evade once again, but every time he did it, a thunderbolt would descend at the place he had moved to.

Katcha! Katcha! Katcha!

Qiao Xuan wasn\'t one of the smartest people out there, but he wasn\'t a fool either. Those initial rounds of attacks, were serving as a probe. He wanted to analyze what Seth would do and if someone would come to help him. If he were to engage head on in a battle just to be taken off guard later, he could end up suffering a defeat. Inside his head, there was still the possibility Velgor would be appearing to fight.

Once again, Qiao Xuan sent golden rays of light towards the sky, but this time, he severely increased the quantity and quality of that energy.
