Death... and me

Chapter 3092  'Old' Friend

Inside the Dimensional Realm, Rean talked to Roan, who was still on his way to the World Splitting Sect. 'So, that puts an end to this matter. Do you want to swap? I can go see Diliy as we planned originally.'

Roan pondered a bit. 'It would actually be better if you came out somewhere not too far from the World Splitting Sect. If there is a need for me to leave, I can use your location to come out of the Dimensional Realm.'

Rean didn't mind. 'Where are you at the moment?'

'Some city called Wrifis,' Roan answered. 'It is near the border with the Miandun country in the north. This was the fastest route of teleport formations. I'm just waiting for the next activation, which should be in twenty minutes or so.'

Rean nodded. 'This place is good enough. I'll stay here while you pay a visit to the World Splitting Sect.'

*Zush!*

Rean came out of the Dimensional Realm, looking at the developed city. He tried to take flight but soon found out there was a formation in this place that prevented it from happening. "Sure enough, any big city always has this anti-flight formation."

Roan didn't seem to care. "Just go out of the city if you want to fly around. Better than that, go out, find some corner, and start cultivating so you can save us time."

Rean thought for a moment and nodded. "It's not a bad idea. I'll go now." Usually, he was the one running around while Roan did the training and cultivation, so it wasn't bad to swap positions once in a while.

Roan's teleport formation was finally ready. He paid the fee, and together with a few more cultivators and demon beasts, he disappeared from Wrifis City.

"Hum... I guess it would be a good moment to check it." Rean went to a random restaurant before asking for a private room. Once he bought a few dishes, the workers left him alone, giving him time to check something while he ate.

Rean's CD quickly appeared, which allowed it to connect to the Werdlem Empire's Network again. This CD was quite special since this was the same CD used to exchange numbers with Karev. Let's not forget Karev found out the twins were not from this planet and asked the twins to bring him away once they left. In exchange, Rean and Roan asked Karev to procure the Salite Root, which went by the name of Solomel Root on this planet. It was a necessary material for the Void Shattering Pill.

Karev, as the Rusbav Queen's closest aid, didn't have that much time to do other things, so it was hard for him to find an excuse to leave the country. In fact, he was doubtful if he should be doing that or not. Back when he helped the twins, he gave them two bracelets that could hide the fact the twins were not from this planet.

The main point is that the bracelets were also supposed to have trackers on them. And yet, as soon as the twins left the capital, the trackers completely stopped to work. Later on, Karev found out that Rean and Roan ended up in the Gondel Clan, thanks to the CDs they used to register for the Festival Contest in the Rusbav Capital.

Things didn't get better for him, though. He soon found out Rean had gone to the Spiritual Canyon and then didn't come out. He knows the Spiritual Canyon Formation would kill anyone who was left behind after it was closed, so Karev thought Rean was probably dead.

There was also Roan. Unfortunately, Roan simply disappeared from the Gondel Clan before he could contact him as well. He didn't know where Roan went. Above all, Rean and Roan's CDs, regardless if they were the CDs used in the Gondel Clan or the ones from the Festival, also disappeared. At the very least, neither of their CDs was connected to the Werdlem Empire Network of the Rusbav Country.

Now, he was making his way to the north to look for the Solomel Roots, and he wasn't even sure if the twins were still around. 'What am I even doing? One of them died, and the other probably decided to leave because of that. Should I just turn back? If the queen finds out that I was planning to leave the planet...'

Suddenly, his CD received a call, and Karev wondered for a second if the queen was already on his tail. However, when he saw the number, he almost fell from the skies. That was Rean's number. Of course, he wouldn't believe it unless he saw Rean's face, so he answered the video call.

"Oh! Hi, Karev. It's been a while." Rean spoke with his bright smile as always while he enjoyed some of the food.

"You are alive!" Karev was taken aback. "But... I heard about the Spiritual Canyon..."

Rean shrugged. "Come on, Karev. You know my brother and I came from outside. We obviously have a few tricks in our sleeves. I even arranged for the disciples who got trapped to not be targetted by the Spiritual Canyon Formation. In ten years, when the Spiritual Canyon opens again, you will see them coming out of there."

"This..." Karev found it hard to believe. The Spiritual Canyon Formation was one of the best formations in the country. However, Rean was saying he modified it. Just when did he do that? "If I ask how you did it, you won't answer, will you?"

"That's why I like you, Karev. You are a smart man." Rean praised Karev's foresight. "Anyway, you should know by now that I'm not called Asterix, nor is my brother called Obelix."

"Yes," Karev found out about it faster than most, actually. "So you came from the Gondel Clan."

"That's correct. Well, not entirely. The Gondel Clan was just a good stop while Roan and I prepared our things," Rean explained, and he wasn't lying. "Anyway, I'm calling you for an obvious reason. How is the Solomel Roots case going?"
