Death... and me
chapter-2984

'Well, there is this Divine Werdlem Stone in play, after all,' Rean mentioned to Klifon and Roan through Spiritual Sense. 'Regardless of how much Gofel could want his Spatial Ring back, he definitely puts a lot more importance in the stone.'

Roan and Klifon nodded. They might have reached the same conclusion if they were in Gofel's shoes. Besides, the fact that Gofel knows their abilities might be used as a trump card later as well.

Ofolie looked back at the Parton Sect. They had a few Sun Urpins and a good amount of Elemental Transformation Realm experts. The Sun Urpins did indeed help them arrive in this place without finding too much danger, although they did also lose a few members. Now that they arrived at the palace, cultivators at Rean, Roan, and Klifon's level wouldn't be more than a burden.

"Sigh..." Ofolie didn't seem very happy. "The point is that you should have helped Riana and her group explore the other areas of the Sunlight Realm. Since you lost her right at the start, you don't have much use anymore. We have higher-level Sun Urpins with our group already, too. My advice to the three of you is to go back to where you came from and try to join some other Saint Realm group."

Rean scratched the back of his head. "We won't bother the Parton Sect, so can we just stay close by? Of course, there is no need to pay attention to us even if we fall into danger. Going back without senior Gofel's help is pretty much suicide now."

Ofolie pondered for a moment. However, the rest of the Parton Sect didn't want to keep them close to start with. The twins' group wasn't even supposed to be here but exploring the rest of the Sunlight Realm instead. That was the only reason for the third batch of cultivators to enter the Sunlight Realm. "That won't do. You can stay if you want, but we will not take you. It is nothing personal, but chances are you will become a burden even if we don't pay attention to you."

Suddenly, another person appeared and spoke. "In that case, I'll take these three."

Ofolie was taken aback as he looked at the man. It was none other than Diliy, the Master of the World Splitting Sect.

Grandel, who wasn't paying attention to the twins' group at first, couldn't help but glance in Diliy's direction. Why would he ask for Tom and Jerry's group? It didn't make much sense.

Diliy noticed Grandel's attention on him and looked back. "Grandel, you want to discard them, right? So it shouldn't be a problem if I take them. Or could it be you changed your mind?"

Grandel checked Rean, Roan, and Klifon with his Spiritual Sense again but didn't see anything special. "Hmph! If you want to carry them around, that's your problem. Ofolie, just let them be."

Ofolie quickly nodded. "Yes, Sect Master. Senior Diliy, please take care of them."

Diliy accepted. "I intend to." Right after, he looked at Rean, Roan, and Klifon. "You three, come with me and stay close to my World Splitting Sect."

With their cultivation, it wasn't a good idea to stay alone in the midst of all these high-level experts, so the twins' group could only agree. "Yes! Thank you, senior."

The twins passed by Gofel's group, and Gofel smiled at them before turning his attention away.

Now, closer to the gate, the twins and Klifon sat near another five cultivators of the World Splitting Sect. One of them was obviously Woterto, the Transition Realm High Elder. The other four were all Peak Stage Elemental Transformation Realm experts.

"Senior... why did you help us?" Rean couldn't help but ask.

Diliy put his hand on his back and faintly smiled while speaking through Spiritual Sense. 'If I don't even help my disciple, what kind of Master would I be?'

Rean's expression changed, and so did Roan's. Rean's Body Transformation Skill changed the very structure of their body. It wasn't an illusion but a real transformation. They also used Roan's pill to chance their hair colors, which also wasn't fake. Not to mention, their cultivation was different now from the time they took the contest back in the Rusbav Capital. There should be no way to identify Rean at the moment.

Yet, it was pretty obvious Diliy had no doubts in his mind. Roan couldn't detect any lies from Diliy, so they didn't try to insist. Rean calmed down and finally asked. 'Master, how did you know it was me?'

'I've known you ever since you appeared at the entrance of the Sunlight Realm before it opened,' Diliy explained before pointing his finger at Rean's body. Suddenly, Rean and Roan felt the presence of Sword Intent coming from Rean's body, something that wasn't there before. 'Sword Intent has many uses when you get to the same level as me. It can also be used to track others. Unless they have the same comprehension of a Weapon Intent like me or higher, they wouldn't be able to tell it at all.'

Rean and Roan looked at each other. They also understood there was another reason why they didn't detect the Sword Intent inside Rean's body; it lacked any harmful intent. 'To think Sword Intent can be used in such a way...'

Diliy laughed. 'Hahaha! Even I didn't know about it until recently. Also, it is very unstable, proving that I still haven't reached Stage Five. You needed to be quite close for me to notice it, and if you hadn't appeared near me during the next few days, my sword intent would have completely dissipated from your body.'

Diliy then changed the topic. 'Now then. We need to focus on the palace.'

Rean found it strange. 'Master, won't you ask about me, or why I'm here, why Gofel helped us, or anything like that?'

Diliy shook his head. 'If you want to talk about it, I will listen. Otherwise, just forget it. I took you as a disciple for your talent with swords. Nothing more, nothing less. As long as you hold no ill intent towards me or my sect, that's all I need to know.'

Rean felt a little emotional. 'Master...'

Roan snorted, though. He would never have let things go as easily as Diliy did. 'What an idiot.'
