Death... and me

Unaware of everything that was happening, the twins continued to cultivate for the next few days. Finally, the slumbering Kentucky digested everything, opening his eyes in satisfaction. "What a great nap. You know, before you pulled me to this place, I was having such days every single day. Do you have any idea how much I miss home now?"

Roan didn't even bother answering. As for Rean, he just laughed and nodded. "Hahaha! I can totally see you doing that. Well, you probably slept on your nest on Celis's Branches, so Celis was probably happy with that as well. After all, you two have that synergy of yours."

Kentucky didn't deny that. "Having a nest on a Divine Demon Plant is truly the best." He spread his wings and stretched a little, feeling full of energy. "So, shall we keep going?"

Rean turned to Roan. "We are resuming our journey to the Demon Beasts' Continent. Do you want to be with Kentucky while he flies, or should I continue out there?"

Roan continued to absorb the Spiritual Energy of the stones. "No interest. You can fly with him while I cultivate here. In any case, make sure to cultivate while on his back as well so we don't waste time."

Rean shrugged and disappeared from the Dimensional Realm with Kentucky. Finally, Rean jumped on Kentucky's back, and the two flew away once again.

Roan then opened his eyes, looking at the unconscious Zangeshu not too far away. He pondered a bit about the guy, who had been in that state ever since Roan captured him.

Back in Orgilhia City, Roan was just checking the market when he noticed Zangeshu's entourage flying. Since he could fly, it was obvious that Zangeshu had some special status in the Inquisition Forging Hall. When Roan checked him with his Spiritual Sense, he also noticed that Zangeshu had almost the same cultivation as him. Zangeshu was in the Middle Stage, while Roan was in the Late. Naturally, suppressing his cultivation so others couldn't see wasn't an issue for Roan, so he followed Zangeshu. It didn't take long for Roan to arrive at Zangeshu's residence. It had many formations since that was also the residence of the director and his descendants. Fortunately, those formations were nothing like the Inquisition Forging Hall's ones. Sister Orb was able to easily make an opening for Roan to enter.

When Zangeshu finally got himself alone, Roan acted, knocking him out in a flash before pulling the guy into the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. There, he read just the most recent years' memories of the guy before coming out with Zangeshu's appearance. It was after this that he appeared in the Inquisition Forging Hall and met Rean at the entrance. The rest is history.

Roan continued to look at Zangehus, wondering if it was better to simply let the young man sleep forever or if he should just throw him out of the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. However, Roan was pretty sure by now that Zangeshu truly didn't have those Mind Control problems. Besides, from what Roan saw in Zangeshu's memories, the guy wasn't exactly a bad person.

Sure, he was quite arrogant, a side-effect of his enormous talents in Formations, Seals, and Talismans. The fact he was also a direct descendant of the director didn't make his personality any better. But then again, he never went out of his way to cause trouble to anyone. In Zangeshu's eyes, that would be a waste of his 'too precious' time. He wasn't friendly, but he was definitely reliable.

"Sigh..." Finally, Roan made a decision and waved his hand. Spiritual Energy entered Zangeshu's head, quickly touching his soul. Following that, Zangeshu's body trembled for a moment before he slowly opened his eyes.

"Ugh... my head. I feel like I got hit by an entire airship..." Zangeshu held his hand against his head, which throbbed nonstop, only adding to that acute pain. It didn't last long, though. A wave of Light Element quickly followed, and the pain vanished pretty much instantly, giving Zangeshu enough focus to take a look at his surroundings. "Hum? Where am I?"

Zangeshu's eyes then stopped on Roan, which was the only thing he could see there. Sister Orb was using her abilities so Zangeshu couldn't see anything else in the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm. Even Zangeshu's Spiritual Sense was 100% suppressed. Zangeshu didn't panic, and his expression barely changed even though he was in this foreign situation. "Let me guess? Kidnapping? Or perhaps a test from my great-grandfather. Yes, that's more like it. Go back and tell the old geezer I WILL NOT become his successor in the Inquisition Forging Hall."

"There is no need to worry. No one would make you the director of a place that doesn't exist anymore," Roan answered in a cold tone.

Zangeshu obviously didn't take those words to heart? "What? Did you perhaps destroy the Inquisition Forging Hall? Yeah, sure. Let's stop wasting each other's time, shall we? Let me out. If this is truly a kidnapping, then just name your price already. You don't even need to contact my Family; I am more than capable of paying for it myself."

Sister Orb appeared on Roan's side, even though Zangeshu couldn't see him. [Now I know why you even bothered to wake him up instead of throwing him out. He is pretty much a copy of yourself. Such similar personalities. Cold, never to panic, always rational in whatever situation he finds himself in. Did you reincarnate without us knowing?]

Roan glanced at Sister Orb, but he wasn't angry like he would usually be. That's because Sister Orb was right. After Roan checked Zangeshu's memories of the most recent years, he had to admit that Zangeshu's personality was truly similar to his own. 'Just go bother someone else.'

Roan then got up, shoving the Orb aside and walking in Zangeshu's direction. "I have no interest in whatever you have to offer. Even your entire family's fortune can't compare to my own. Don't worry, though. I'm throwing you out in the next few minutes. But before that, I guess I at least own you an explanation since your identity helped me quite a bit."
