Death... and me
chapter-1105

There were a few specific people who focused on Roan's Death World, though. Some of them were from the Klacks Country. Or, to be more specific, both elders and participants from there were impressed by that. As a country that relied on evil arts, they obviously had many cultivators that used the Dark Element.

As mentioned before, one could use Dark Element as long as one could control Yin Energy. The better one got at it, the more proficient one could get at manipulating the Dark Element. For the Klacks Country, most of their cultivation techniques involved the five mainstream elements and the Dark Element acquired with the use of Yin Energy from such manuals. However, Roan was the very first person they had ever seen that had a natural Dark Element Affinity.

Klacks Country's main power was an evil sect called the Blood Path. Their sect leader just so happened to come to watch the Sacred Land Recruitment. Unlike the Kamos Kingdom, where the king was the highest authority, the highest authority in the sects was usually the hidden ancestors. That allowed someone like a sect leader to go out. Even if he died, the sect wouldn't suffer that much as long as the ancestors lived.

As for their sect leader, it was a man known as Gille. No one knew what his family name was, though. Gille, shocked by the sudden discovery of a real cultivator with Dark Element Affinity, immediately inquired the elders that came with him. "Who is that black-haired kid? Do any of you know if he came from another power of the evil path?"

The elders of the Blood Path Sect looked at each other and shooked their heads. "We know pretty much every power that follows the evil path in our Huring Continent. If such an existence had appeared in any of those, we would have found it out already."

Evil powers were the least known for loyalty. Information selling happened all the time in such places. If one wanted to keep a secret, then that one should better be the only one alive that knows it. If someone like Roan had appeared inside the main ranks of the evil powers, they probably would have heard about it.

Gille could only order in the end. "Alando, go check it out for me."

Surprisingly, in just a few minutes, they found out where Roan came from.

"Sect leader, I've gotten the information." Well, at least gathering information for them was a good thing. "That boy came from a country called the Kamos Kingdom."

"Kamos Kingdom?" Gille had participated in many of these recruitments, but he still failed to remember such a name. "Is it some new country?"

"No, it's just a small fry from the corners," the other sect member replied. "I would need to investigate to know more about it, though."

"There's no need," Gille refused the idea. "It's a very simple issue. The guy was born and raised in that piece of shit land. That's why we never heard of him. Tell all our competitors to focus on him, but make sure that they don't kill or cripple him either. We just need him out of the Sacred Land Recruitment. I want him to come to our Blood Path Sect instead of joining the Sacred Land."

The elder nodded in response and immediately used his Divine Sense to communicate with the groups of their Klacks Country. Of course, the members of the Blood Path Sect could tell something wasn't right. That wasn't something their sect leader would usually ask. It would be okay if he asked to kill someone, but not just throw someone out of the recruitment.

In any case, they had to follow the sect leader's orders. However, there was one problem. Those streams couldn't be controlled. Everyone had to follow it. Their only choice was to wait for their own streams to pass close to Roan's group and then attack there. But then again, they wouldn't be in full force as the group making up the participants of Klacks Country had been divided into three different streams.

There was also the fact that they saw how those who tried to enter the dark sphere ended up being pushed out or even killed. They weren't at the same cultivation realm as their elders and the sect leader, who had already surpassed the Transition Realm long ago. Their own Divine Senses couldn't pierce through Rean's Divine Sense bending skill.

Last but not least, many of them were forcing some random cultivators to use their skills to follow the stream and pull them together. If they tried to jump into the dark sphere, they would have to abandon the guys they were controlling. Simply put, it was an extremely unfavorable situation to try to get into Rean and Roan's range.

In the end, one of their members could only use his Divine Sense to explain the situation to their elders on Cassia's back.

Alando then looked at Gille and inquired, "Sect Master, should they attack nonetheless? We shouldn't risk our members in this first test yet as we need some of them to pass the recruitment."

Gille narrowed his eyes as he checked the situation. In some other moment, he would simply ignore everything and say that he would kill anyone who didn't immediately follow his orders. Unfortunately, he knew that Alando was right. The Sacred Land Recruitment took priority over the situation.

"Fine!" Gille answered, much to everyone's surprise. "However, unless the next test makes it impossible to defeat that black-haired boy, I want everyone to focus on taking him out. We can't control him if he becomes a member of the Sacred Land."

Alando and the other elders sighed in relief and immediately passed Gille's words to their groups in the streams. Sure enough, those groups also felt relieved. This test seemed to be going very well for them, but they knew very well that they were one of the countries at a disadvantage in this due to their lack of skills to follow the streams.
