"So? Will you help us kill that beast?" asked Jas and continued, "I am pretty sure with you, we will have no problem beating it."
Khal closed his eyes for a while and started to ponder.
As far as he could understand, creatures on the Tenth Cultivation Stage were in a completely different realm, so much that they couldn't even be compared to any of the beasts below their Stage.
Even the World Devourer, which was only half a step away from breaking into the Tenth Stage, was an existence that Khal was incapable of killing alone, even though at that time he had the strength to kill a dozen of beasts from the Ninth Cultivation Stage with a single strike.
Although he reached the Ninth Cultivation Stage, obtained a powerful Power Core, and also replenished his units of Body Essence during his trip from the Western Continent, if he were to fight against such a beast, together with Jas and Logan, he was not sure if he would win or not.
That is why he opened his eyes and asked, "That beast... What type of power did it use?"
Jas kind of expected this question, but could only sigh and shake his head, "We don't know. We have only fought with it for a few seconds before we had to retreat."
"Then what was the beast's appearance?" Khal asked calmly. Maybe if he knew what kind of beast the creature was, then he could figure out its powers thanks to his book.
"It's appearance? Let me think..." Jas closed his eyes to get a better image of the beast and quickly explained, "Despite we only saw it for a few seconds, I can clearly remember it was a rabbit."
"A rabbit?"
"Yeah." Jas nodded and continued, "It was about a meter tall with fur that shone with bright silver. Its speed was so fast that it felt like it was teleporting and if it weren't for Logan, I am pretty sure we would have died there."
'...'
Khal remained silent and put his fingers below his chins. Once he pondered enough, he nodded and said, "That creature you have fought, must be a Moonlight Rabbit."
"Moonlight Rabbit?"
Both men raised a brow upon hearing the unknown name, this Khal quickly cleared his throat and said, "During my time on Moon Mountain, I have killed several thousands of beasts, including a creature with similar features such as the one you described."
Then he continued, "As even I have failed to recognize the beast and because its strength intrigued me I have gone through several records back in the library and found out that it is called the Moonlight Rabbit."
Of course, what Khal said was a complete lie as he never encountered a Moonlight Rabbit before and read about it from his book.
"A Moonlight Rabbit, huh? Interesting... Tell me more about it." Jas said with piques interest as it was rare for him to learn about a creature he has yet to met with.
"According to the record I have read, Moonlight Rabbits are exceptionally rare species and only a few exists on Moon Mountain, three to be exact."
"They creatures capable of jumping and running with the speed of light once they reach the Ninth Cultivation Stage and said to have claws that are capable of slicing up even an entire mountain with a single strike. What is more, under the moon's light, its power doubles!"
"Quite a frightening creature..." Logan said quietly from the side, making Khal nod in agreement.
But soon Khal smiled and said, "But although it seems such a scary existence, it has a huge flaw too."
"And that is?" Jas asked immediately.
"During the daytime, both its speed and strength gets reduced by half, so if we want to kill it, it must be during the day!"
"Oh? So will you help us?" Jas asked.
Khal smiled and asked, "Of course. If I get something for an exchange, naturally."
Jas already foresaw this moment where Khal would ask this question thus is why he smiled and asked, "And what do you want?"
Khal pondered before he smiled and asked, "How about you get me a Realm Level Secret Art? I always wanted to see one."
"A Realm Level Secret Art? Did you go insane or what? It's a bit like they grow on the side, you know that right?" Logan frowned, finding Khal's suggestion rather ridiculous and impossible to accomplish.
However, to his great surprise, Jas nodded and said, "Understood. If you help us I will give you a Realm Level Secret Art."
"Perfect! Then let's discuss our plan right away." Khal smiled and sat down as he knew it will take quite a time for them to come up with a working strategy against the Moonlight Rabbit.

Meanwhile, inside the Ourvi Family's main mansion, a man was standing before Edwin and Anred.
"So you tell me you have failed to convince that girl and was even threatened by a boy who was no older than my son?" Anred frowned deeply, making the man lower his head and start to tremble slightly from fear.
"Y-Yes, Sir..." nodded the man firmly and continued, "However, that boy was definitely not a simple cultivator. His movement technique was simply way too fast even for me and my Talent."
"Even for your Seven Sense?" asked Erwin with a raised brow.
"Y-yes. I thought I will teach him a lesson for trying to act arrogant before me, especially because he had no cultivation presence, but it seems I was wrong."
"No cultivation presence?" Anred and Erwin looked at each other before looking back at the man and asked, "For instance, that boy... Was he wearing a silver robe?"
"Eh?" the man seemed confused by the sudden question, but seeing the two men's impatient gaze on his skin, he quickly closed his eyes and started to think.
"Y-Yeah, he was indeed wearing a silver robe. B-But why is that important?" the man replied with a nod, but as he got no answer, he slowly reopened his eyes only to see no sign of the two men, leaving him all alone inside the huge hall.
"H-hello?"
