Death... and me
chapter-2627

The twins couldn't tell the number because the Divine Sense Bending Skill only worked if there was a Divine Sense touching it. Although there were a few Divinity Realm Divine Senses spread, those weren't all. The twins only counted eleven.

However, their conversation didn't go unnoticed by Landeau. Since he himself is a Peak Divinity Realm Expert, his Divine Sense obviously had no issue detecting other Divinity Realm experts... as long as they weren't using any treasure to conceal their presence. Nonetheless, even if Landeau's Thirty-Three number isn't correct, it shouldn't be far off.

"Thank you, senior Landeau," Rean bowed to the Essence. "Hmph!" Landeau just snorted.

Roan looked around, trying to find Kafan. However, Kafan was nowhere to be seen. In fact, he couldn't see Gragatou either. "Where are the Semi-Celestials?"

"No idea," Landeau answered. "They most likely will only show themselves when it is time to enter the Hidden Realm."

"That's another thing I don't understand," Rean commented. "I looked all around with my Divine Sense and eyes. However, I can't see this Hidden Realm at all. Didn't they find it?"

"Why do you think it is called Hidden, idiot?" Landeau didn't lose the chance to criticize. "You should have known that this Hidden Realm exists in a separate Dimension."

"I do," Rean commented. "However, Dimensional Realms usually have Spatial Entrances. Even if it is hidden, we should be able to feel it, just like when any of us enter our own Dimensional Realms. We always leave the Spatial Entrance behind, which can even be attacked. Yet, there is nothing here."

Landeau didn't continue to provoke and just explained after that. "Fine. From what I heard from Master, the Hidden Realm doesn't have an entrance. It will have to be created by the Semi-Celestials. The fact they are not here is probably because they are trying to find the weakest point in this Hidden Realm to open a stable passage."

"I see..." Rean finally understood. "I just hope it won't change location again before we can get inside."

Landeau didn't comment on this one since he wasn't certain either.

"There you are!" Suddenly, an angry voice echoed as a Dragon approached the twins' group. It was none other than Frasco, the Dragon that made the deal with Rean when they visited the Dragon Race.

"Oh!" Rean smiled and came forward to greet him. He wasn't using a different appearance this time, nor was Roan, so they would eventually get recognized. "Senior Frasco, it is good to see you in good health. There was no need to come to greet us; I would have done it as soon as I found you in this place."

"Who the hell is here to greet you?" Frasco spat in anger. "You fucker! It was you, wasn't it?! It was you who spread the communication system blueprints!"

Rean immediately showed a shocked expression. "What?! Senior must be joking! I heard that it was the Dragon Race and the Rambram Sect's plan instead after they found out about the other Universe experts coming!"

"Bah! Who would believe your words?!" Frasco didn't take that at all. "Everyone who knew how to build the communication system core was being kept under strict vigilance! The same goes for the Rambram Sect! If it wasn't you, who would have it been? Uh?"

Yet, Rean's shocked expression didn't change at all. "Wait, could it be senior doesn't know? I'm not the only one out there who also had access to high-level technology and was versed in it."

"You... weren't?" Frasco was taken aback. Other than their own people and the Rambram Sect, there wasn't supposed to be someone else.

Not only Frasco, other ears were also attracted by this coversation. After all, the communication system was that important.

Rean nodded, quickly explaining. "Yes! Did you forget the Ruin of the Stars? How many experts at the Space-Time Realm and below entered that place? That location was countless times more advanced than the communication system I created. Who can tell that some of those experts who escaped didn't bring out secrets regarding the Ruin of the Stars' Technology? Even I gained a lot by studying the Circuitry Runes of that place."

"This..." Frasco wanted to refute, but he had no way to do so. Even worse, he couldn't deny the possibility that Rean was right. He wasn't alone. Immediately, many Long-Distance Thoughts Transmission Talismans were activated. If someone within those experts really came out with powerful knowledge about that technology, all of this ruse might just be a smokescreen for something even bigger.

Rean then shook his head, 'feeling' wrogged. "I'm obviously being framed. How could I possibly let our precious communication system fall into the hands of another senior? We both know just how much it is worth."

Frasco narrowed his eyes while many conversations went around. The biggest problem was the fact that the Dragon Race and Rambram Sect had no proof Rean was involved with it. Besides, the communication system found in those jade slips was indeed somewhat different from the ones you could find in the Rambram Sect and Dragon Race.

Rean had done that on purpose... not to take suspicion away from him, but to hide the backdoors. Finally, Frasco decided to leave it be. "Fine. However, this is not over. We will definitely reach the bottom of the problem. Besides, it will indeed become a boost against the visitors from outside in a few years time."

"That's what I want as well," Rean quickly agreed. "Let me know when you find the culprit. I'll be the first to kick his ass!"

Landeau rolled his eyes, hearing Rean. It was definitely Rean who passed the Essence Race the communication system. Of course, he wasn't going to mention that.

"Hmph!" Frasco then turned around and left. In fact, Frasco wasn't going to enter the Hidden Realms. He wasn't a Divine Dragon and wasn't very good at fighting, either. He was just old... very old, so he held a lot of knowledge within the Dragon Race.

"I say... wherever you go, you always attract so much attention. When will you learn to lie low?" It was then that a familiar figure appeared in front of the twins as well.
