Death... and me

3047  Things To Do

"Ahem..." Yuan tried to stop Rean there. "I... I will be grateful if I simply make it out of this place. There is no need for friend to get involved in my affairs. It is simply not worth your time."

Rean pulled him closer. "I will absolutely find a way to help you. I promise you! My own future depends on it!"

Yuan and the others were speechless. How exactly Yuan's little love story, which wasn't anything impressive, let's be honest, could have such big influence in Rean's future? "Anyway," Rean didn't explain, obviously. "Let's get out of here. Come!"

Yuan was doubtful of all that scene, but he could only accept that for now. He changed back into his Horned Cloud Shark form and carried them since he could swim faster, even while bringing everyone with him.

Rean didn't really have any specific location in mind. He just had Yuan swim far enough from the other cultivators and had him stop at a certain point. "Alright, this should be enough."

Yuan stopped as Laica, Lesyu, and Tubutu came out of his back. "Did you find a way out?"

"I don't need one," Rean shook his head. Right after, he took various items from the Dimensional Realm and began to build a formation on the ground. "It is a lot easier to simply teleport away from this place."

"Teleport... away? Weren't we looking for an exit?" Everyone was surprised to hear that. "First of all, would teleport formations work here?" Laica couldn't help but ask. "I believe the Formation was made so that Spatial Powers couldn't penetrate the barrier formation around the Spiritual Canyon."

"Don't worry," Rean smiled in response. "I know what I'm doing. Of course, if you guys wish to stay in this place for the next ten years, I absolutely won't force any of you to follow me. As far as I'm concerned, the four of you can continue swimming around while looking for an exit that might or might not exist."

Yuan didn't need to think twice. "I'm going with you."

Laica and the other two had their doubts, but they had been following Rean so far, and Rean delivered on everything he said until now. There wasn't a reason to not believe his words this time. "Then we will try it too." Besides, the idea of being trapped for ten years didn't look the least bit entertaining.

Rean faintly smiled and didn't say anything else. Truth be told, that was the most simple formation he could have made, but because it followed the techniques back in Lisan Universe, it looked quite different from the normal ones Laica and the others had seen so far. Above all, they wouldn't truly use it at all...

'Hey, Roan, are you in position?'

Roan already left the Gondel Clan. He changed his appearance first since any idiot would be able to guess he was Obelix. Following that, he took one of the formations in the clan, which teleported him straight to the capital. From there, he went to the same hotel the twins used in the past, the one with the formations that prevented Spiritual Senses from seeing inside. 'I'm here.'

'Good! Just build a formation similar to mine. It doesn't need to work or anything like that. It is all just an excuse, after all,' Rean explained.

Roan nodded, feeling annoyed. Nonetheless, he worked on the counterfeit. After a few minutes, the formation was concluded... although it had no use whatsoever. 'Is this enough?'

Rean checked it through their shared connection and nodded. 'Yes. That's enough to trick them. Just wait on the side. We are coming out.'

Rean pretended to finish on his side as well before putting several Rank Four Spirit Stones. Laica, Tubutu, Lesyu, and Yuan couldn't help but fix their eyes on those Spirit Stones. They didn't have any Rank Four Spirit stones, but Rean seemed to have quite a few.

"Okay, it is done. The other formation is all the way back in the Rusbav Capital," Rean explained.

Yuan didn't know much about formations, nor did Laica and the others. Nonetheless, they found it hard to believe such a small formation had the power to teleport them that far. "Are you sure it works?"

Rean stepped on the formation, activating it a moment later. "As I said, I'm not forcing anyone to follow me. In any case, I already activated it and it will teleport me in a few seconds. If you don't want to come, just get away. Otherwise, make sure to not fight the pulling force when you get teleported."

Yuan quickly stepped on the formation, and so did Laica and the others. It was no time for doubts.

*Zush!*

The formation flashed with silver light, and the next second, they were all gone. They felt their vision blurry for a moment, and when it returned to normal, they were already back inside the same room as Roan back in the Rusbav Capital.

Rean and Roan had used this trick in the past. Simply put, Rean's group entered the Dimensional Realm and then left before anyone could see anything. At most, Yuan and the others would think the teleportation took longer than normal, but that was it.

"Are we truly back in the capital?" Yuan couldn't believe it.

15:34

Roan opened his eyes and pointed to the window. "Check it yourself."

"Ah!" Only now, they noticed Roan sitting on the bed. "Who are you?"

Rean laughed. "Who else? It's Roan, my brother. I asked him to prepare the other side of the formation several days ago. Anyway, it matters little now. Go ahead and check the outside."

Yuan's group knew about Rean ability to change appearance. After all, he looked completely different from when he participated in the Rusbav Festival Contest, and so did Roan. Seeing Roan's completely different appearance only confirmed their abilities.

Yuan then shook his head and rushed to the window, opening it a second later. The enormous capital quickly appeared in his line of sight, especially the Rusbav Royal Palace in the distance. "We... are truly out of the Spiritual Canyon..."

Laica, Lesyu, and Tubut noticed that as well before looking back at Rean. Just how many secrets did he have? Not only him, but also Rean's brother.

"Well then," Rean ignored their shocked expressions. "Laica, Lesyu, Tubutu, you guys go back to the Gondel Clan. Tell Master Kuslau that I will be gone for a while. As for Yuan, you stay in this room for the next few days. There are a few things I have to do here in the capital before we depart to the Saramina Sea."

"Are you truly going to help me with that...?" Yuan asked once more, not certain if he even wanted any help to start with.

"You can bet he will," Roan answered with a dark expression. "Otherwise, he better be ready for a beating."

"Hmph!" Rean snorted. "Beating? Who will give me a beating? You?"

"Are you doubting it?" Roan got up.

Rean stepped forward. "You can be certain I am."

[Hey, the two idiots,] Sister Orb intervened... not really. [I will make sure to record the fight. Put a good show, alright?]

Rean and Roan's fighting will instantly died. "Forget it."

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
