Death... and me
chapter-3093

Karev sighed in relief. At least it didn't seem he was making this journey for nothing. "I'm on my way to the Drumfel Ice Caves at this very moment. I tried to acquire the roots in the markets, but they are truly not available. It's not that they are rare, but that they don't have much use, so no one has them for sale, especially since the Drumfel Caves are quite dangerous for anyone below the Transition Realm. Well, it is not the case for me, of course."

Rean was satisfied to hear that. "Very good, Karev. Just keep going and let me know if you need something. I will keep my CD connected to the network for the time being. Oh! And let's stop trying to track me down, shall we? I should have made it pretty clear that if I want to disappear, I can and I will. I already removed the trackers from the bracelets as well."

Karev scratched the back of his head. "Sorry for that. I... was just being careful."

"Don't worry, I'm not blaming you," Rean truly didn't mind. "If I were you, I would have done the same. It's just that you weren't aware of what I really can pull off. Now you do. To make things fair, I will give you a hint. These roots you are looking for should become the main reason for Roan and me to leave this planet in the next few years. Since you are also coming, that is just as important for you."

Karev pondered a bit and nodded. "If you say so... I will get you your roots. However, I can at least contact you once in a while, right? Or will it be a problem as well?"

Rean shook his head. "That's obviously not a problem. I can even help you with some of your doubts about cultivation. The Transition Realm has its perks, and it should prove useful when you attempt to enter the Void Tempering Realm."

Karev's eyes lit up. He knew the twins weren't simple, but that was an unexpected gain. "I will definitely accept it."

Rean smiled. "Alright, I'll end this call here. If you can't contact me for some reason, it is not on purpose but because I'm truly inaccessible. Understood?"

"Very well," Karev had no complaints anymore.

Rean finished his call and also his food before turning his head in another direction. 'I wonder if it wouldn't be better for me to go back to the Gondel Clan instead of cultivating... I did promise Kuslau to help him and his master about the Fifth Stage of Sword Intent, after all...'

However, Rean shook his head. Roan was going to be in the World Splitting Sect, so he needed Rean outside in case Diliy and the others tried to hold him for some other reason. If at that point, Rean was also being pinned down in the Gondel Clan, then neither of them would have where to go.

Rean got up and went to the city exit. Following that, he shot in the north direction, entering the Miandun Country a few hours later. He was now in a Demon Beast Forest, though. He quickly looked for a place to settle down, finding a random cave. There were a few Demon Beasts inside, but Rean made quick work of them all. Finally, he built a simple concealing formation in the cave entrance and entered the Dimensional Realm. "Well, let's cultivate."

Meanwhile, Roan had just returned to the World Splitting Sect. He obviously wasn't using a different appearance this time since he wanted to get inside as fast as possible.

The sect had been warned to let Roan go through any time he wanted, so Roan found no one stopping him in his path. Finally, he arrived at Diliy's chamber, the same one as the Spatial Formation, to increase its size inside. Diliy and Woterto were talking there, and seeing Roan entering the chamber, they finally sighed in relief. "Couldn't you at least warn us if you are making a leave like that?"

Roan shrugged. "It was an emergency, so I couldn't risk telling you since I didn't know if you would try to hold me here or not. I always keep my word, though. Since I said I would be gone for half a day, that's what I did. Now I'm back. Also..."

Roan then took his White Star Sword out. Immediately, his Sword Intent activated, and it spread like millions of blades. Diliy and Woterto saw themselves forced to create a Spiritual Energy Barrier. Otherwise, they would have been sliced right there and then by Roan's intent alone.

"That's-That's the one!" Diliy got up, excited. How could he not remember that sensation?! He was there when the Divine Realm Spear user used his Fifth Stage of Spear Intent. He felt he was getting close to that stage, but he was always short of something. Now, it seems like his finding helped Roan figure out what it was. "Quick! Tell me! What is it like?"

Woterto, obviously, was just as shocked. He wasn't there when the Divine Realm Expert showed his Spear Intent, so he didn't know what it was like, differently from Diliy. However, now he finally understood how impressive it was.

*Bang!*

Suddenly, the door of the chamber was slammed open, and Tassio entered in a hurry. "I heard the boy is back. Is that true?!"

*Swish, swish, swish, swish...*

And yet, he wasn't ready for the sudden assault of Sword Intent. Several cuts appeared all over his body before he finally activated his Spiritual Energy and began to block it all.

Roan quickly stopped using it, though. "My bad. I still can't control it properly."

Tassio felt like he just escaped death. "Just... what was that?"

Diliy came by and laughed. "The Fifth Stage of Sword Intent. Come, Tassio, let's hear what Roan has to say about it. Perhaps we can finally figure it out as well."

Those words worked as a pain killer, making Tassio forget his injuries in an instant. "Really?! Quick, boy, quick! Speak! What is it like?
