"Who!?"

Rant Valo shouted in question.

"Huh?"

A man in the robes of the Immoral Cleansing Sect appeared. He looked at the three of them with a puzzled face.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Rant Valo, Veia, and Floriana Sabina immediately thought that they were caught, but the Sect Disciple didn't react to them the way they expect him to.

"Who are you guys?"

The Sect Disciple asked with a confused face.

"Why do you ask?"

Rant Valo answered him with a question of his own. There shouldn't be any reason for him to be asking them that question as they are in the middle of nowhere. Or he could just be really friendly.

"This is the Immortal Lake of the Immoral Cleansing Sect?"

The Sect Disciple replied to him.

"What?"

Rant Valo immediately widened his eyes in shock. He turned his head towards Floriana Sabina.

Floriana Sabina averted her eyes and turned her head away.

"Master Floriana... Did you accidentally enter the Immoral Cleansing Sect?"

Rant Valo asked her with his cheeks twitching.

"I-I think so?"

Floriana Sabina tilted her head cutely in confusion.

"Then… the fish we ate?"

Rant Valo asked as he gulped heavily.

"T-These fishes are-!"

The Sect Disciple noticed the cooked fishes lined up in front of Rant Valo and Floriana Sabina.

"What fish are they?"

Rant Valo asked with an awkward smile on his face.

"You thieves!"

The Sect Disciple shouted angrily as he pointed towards them.

"Run!"

Rant Valo shouted towards them. Without even thinking about it, Rant Valo and Floriana Sabina grabbed all of the cooked fish and ran with it. Veia followed them from behind.

The Sect Disciple pulled a circular object from his pocket and whispered to it. Before long, several cultivators flew towards the lake. They were like shooting stars coming from the horizon.

"Master Floriana! Fly us away!"

Rant Valo shouted to her. He could see that she was not even trying. She was looking at the lake with reluctance. As if she couldn't just leave it here.

"But, Disciple, this lake is a treasure trove… Munch Munch"

Floriana Sabina replied to him before taking a big bite of a cooked fish.

"We'll come back later!"

Rant Valo said to her. The cultivators that were flying in the air were about to reach them.

"Hmph. Okay."

Floriana Sabina snorted sadly before holding onto Veia and Rant Valo's hands and disappearing together with them.

The cultivators flying in the air stopped in midair. They just saw the three people in front of them disappear.

"Was that the rare Displacement Magic Talisman?"

A cultivator asked. He appears to be in his twenties.

"I think so. Otherwise, we wouldn't have seen them disappear in front of us."

An elderly man replied to him.

These people were all in the upper echelon of the Immoral Cleansing Sect. Though, it was not all of them as some of the upper echelons had come to the town to retaliate against Nawa Jared's killer.

"We have to catch them! How many Snake Fishes did they steal?"

Another elderly man said to them while he gritted his teeth in anger. Those fishes that Rant Valo caught were called Snake Fishes. The name of the fish may sound mediocre, but it was a rare breed of fish that only grows in this clear lake.

It was used to create rare Grade 1 and 2 Pills which is why they breed so many of them.

"Reporting to the Grand Elder, they have stolen and cooked 22 Snake Fish."

The Sect Disciple from earlier reported to the elderly man who was actually the Grand Elder of the Immoral Cleansing Sect.

"22!? That's 1/20th of the total population!"

The Grand Elder was shocked. These Snake Fishes are not easy to breed. They would have to feed them rare Spiritual Plants just to breed a couple of them.

"Search for them! The Displacement Magic Talisman should not have taken them far."

The other elderly man shouted.

"Yes, Sect Master."

The cultivators around him bowed respectfully before flying in different directions.

Meanwhile, Floriana Sabina had long appeared in a place several tens of kilometers away from the Immoral Cleansing Sect. Rant Valo held his head with one hand as he suffered from vertigo. Floriana Sabina just flew so fast for him to handle it.

"Master, are you okay?"

Veia asked him worriedly.

"I'm fine."

Rant Valo replied to her as he removed his hand from his head. The dizziness he was feeling had quickly passed.

"Where are we?"

Rant Valo asked. This place was entirely different from the forest they were in before. This place was rocky and mountainous.

"I don't know, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina shrugged her shoulders.

"What are we gonna do now?"

Rant Valo asked her. They had already run away from the Immoral Cleansing Sect two times.

"Let's hunt for food again after we finish these fishes. Munch Munch"

Floriana Sabina answered Rant Valo as she continued biting into the fish in her hand. The other cooked fishes were floating around her.

"Again? Okay."

Rant Valo was already missing their life in the town. He didn't have to hunt anything and the food would still taste delicious.

"What? Do you have a problem, Disciple?"

Floriana Sabina raised an eyebrow at Rant Valo.

"N-No…"

Rant Valo answered meekly. She was always so fierce with him.

"What is that, Master?"

Veia suddenly pointed far away. There was an animal with a large antler on its head.

"I don't know either."

Rant Valo replied to her. He was a villager so he himself didn't know what it was.

"That's a moose, Disciple."

Floriana Sabina answered. She was the most knowledgeable of the three. She had read and seen images of different animals in books even if she hadn't seen them in person.

"I guess we're having moose meat for dinner."

Rant Valo said to them. That moose was basically telling them to hunt it when it showed itself in front of Rant Valo's group.

"Yes! I wanna try it, Master."

Veia nodded her head excitedly. She was curious what moose meat tastes like.

"Let's approach it carefully."

Rant Valo walked towards the moose and hid behind a large rock.
