Chapter 405: A Strange Change
"Something important to discuss?" Khal raised a brow before he shrugged and said, "Sure. We have enough time to talk as I will be here for at least a few days."
Neo showed a puzzled look and asked, "For a few days? Why? What happened?"
Ever since Khal promised him he would make sure to come to the Soul Prison more often to keep him company, Neo was visited by Khal almost twice every week, thus he knew about almost everything that happened outside.
He even knew about how Khal went back to the First Realm through the Zero Realm which no one knew about, not even him until now, and how he literally annihilated the Ourvi Family and wiped them off from Ephus’ surface without any mercy.
Naturally, there were some things Khal didn’t mention to Neo such as how the relationship between him and Liza got a little closer and how the two of them kissed, or how another living being existed inside his bracelet who slowly but surely became more and more alive the more essence he fed to her.
He didn’t mention the former because, one, it would be hard to explain how Liza and he were in the past a couple and, two, that would only make the friendship that he built over the past few weeks and months go to all waste.
Furthermore, he already decided that once Liza ascends and becomes a part of the Moon Sect, he will make sure to talk about this matter with her first and tell her everything honestly before he will do the same to Neo. After all, it would be improper for him to keep everything away from them, especially from Liza after what happened in the First Realm, and lie to her only to make things extremely complex despite them being complicated to start with!
As the saying went, telling the truth and making someone cry was way better than telling a lie and making someone smile!
As for the latter was something that was not worth mentioning at the moment as even if he told him, he would be able to do nothing while also making his already sour and almost all the time angry mood become even worse!
’Everything has its own time or at least fate will decide when it is the proper time for things to be said.’ Khal thought in his heart and quickly said, "Well, long story short, I have destroyed a building in the sect thus now I am under punishment."
Then, Khal began to explain what his punishment was about and how he decided to come into the Soul Prison to run away from the unbearable torture he was feeling in Grotto Lake.
Neo listened silently without any change on his face. Only when Khal finished talking did he raise his right hand to massage his temples with his thumb and index finger all the to his eyes and sigh;
"Why is that whenever you come back, you either killed someone, destroyed something, or simply get in trouble?"
"That is not true at all." Khal refuted in a flash, even frowning that what Neo just asked was a complete lie.
"Not true?" Neo raised a brow and after laughing with mockery he asked, "Then what about the previous time where you told him how you killed several creatures after you cleared that dungeon? Or the time before that, when you slapped a girl a whole Cultivation Stage below you to almost death? No, what about the time when you almost got killed by a Higher Existence because you offended him by punching him right in the face?"
Khal raised a finger as he wished to reply, but as he realized Neo was right his raised index finger slowly curved downward as his slightly opened lips gradually closed.
"That’s what I thought." Neo sneered quietly and after shaking his head he said, "Anyways, at least you are here hence we can discuss this."
Whoosh!
A gentle breeze swept through the air once Neo waved his hand and in an instant, a gate with a frame of three meters tall and two meters wide appeared out of thin air on the side about three meters away from Khal.
"Huh? What the hell did you do?" Khal asked with a stupefied expression as he didn’t expect something like this to happen.
So far as he could remember and understand, inside the Soul Prison only he was able to summon things as he wished while Neo was only an individual without any power. He could even clearly remember how Neo begged for him in the past to create a bed or a sofa for him in the Soul Prison so he doesn’t need to sit and lay on the ground all the time he wished to rest!
Naturally, that wish never came true as Khal knew way too well that he possessed no powers like that. Or at least not now, but who knows, maybe in the future he will be able to achieve an ability that allows him to do something similar as that.
"What is this gate? How did you summon it?" Khal asked as he walked closer to the gate and placed his palm onto its smooth surface, only to feel its cold exterior that almost was freezing to the touch.
"I do not know." Neo walked beside Khal as he gazed at the gate too and continued, "It just happened. I suddenly got this strange feeling passing through my body which, in the end, turned out to allow me to summon this gate. However, no matter what I do I cannot open it nor force it to open it."
"Hmm..." Khal hummed quietly as he fell into deep thoughts, moving his palm up and down on the gate’s surface. However, when he used a little bit of his strength and started to push, to his and Neo’s great shock the gate easily moved, opening like any other gate would!
