Chapter 1224 - A Huge Waste
Rean"s group didn"t move a muscle. The twins most likely couldn"t do anything against the guys at Peak Stage Saint, let alone someone at the Late Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm.
Rean looked at Liana, who had a nervous expression while holding her spatial ring. "Sure enough, she definitely has a few things that can help her escape dangerous situations." Of course, he didn"t tell her that. Not to mention that Rean and Roan were no different. Rean was still holding the protection bead they won back in Cosec City, which could protect them against an attack at the Elemental Transformation Realm level. Above all, Roan held the Glittering Crystal, which could boost his cultivation to the peak of the Saint Realm for a certain amount of time. It"s just that none of them wanted to use their hidden cards.
Those people from the Blood Path Sect talked for a while longer before they decided to move forward. Fortunately, Rean"s group was quite lucky. If those enemies had gotten too close to Rean"s Divine Sense bending skill, he wouldn"t be able to keep them from touching their bodies. Especially the Elemental Transformation guy, who was very close to doing that before he began to open distance from them.
Roan then immediately ordered to them, "Run back now! They"ll notice that the ghosts ahead are still fine, so they must have pa.s.sed by us. We don"t want to be here once they come back."
Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Liana immediately activated their movement technique after that and dashed back before entering a different path. Sure enough, Roan was right. Those people from the Blood Path Sect returned just a minute later. Unfortunately for them, Rean"s group was already gone.
Back on Roan"s side, they took the path that they saw another group come from previously. That was probably the group that the Blood Path Sect intercepted. With that being said, there were little to no ghosts there anymore. "Let"s keep going. They might decide to enter this path, so we need to take a few random turns to make sure we"re not being followed."
Rean and the others nodded while they kept moving at high speeds. They had to kill ghosts here and there, but they also ignored the ghosts who were too weak to pose a problem, which they weren"t doing before. That way, it would seem like they didn"t pa.s.s through certain paths.
Only when Roan thought it was safe enough did their group stop. "This should be enough."
Obviously, one didn"t need to be a genius to know why they were after Roan. After all, Liana was there when Gille showed his interest in Roan"s Dark Element Affinity. The question was another one. "How did they know you came?"
Roan shook his head in response, saying, "They didn"t. Otherwise, I would have been focused on by their entire group instead of just those guys. If I were to guess, Gille simply told his disciples to track down anyone at the Peak Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm and check if I"m the person he"s looking for." Sure enough, Roan hit the bullseye.
Liana had to admit Roan"s words made sense. "What will you do then? If all their members are looking for you in the catacombs, they will eventually find us. After all, even I can tell that your Divine Sense concealment ability has a limit. The closer someone is, the harder it becomes to hide."
Roan shrugged his shoulders, telling her, "If you see a problem with staying here, you"re more than welcome to leave. I need those Life"s Nemesis Rocks. At the moment, Gille doesn"t know if I would appear or not, so he just sent a certain number of disciples into this place to look for me. He"s expecting me to wait until I reach the Peak Stage of the Saint Realm before stepping foot in this place. With that said, this is one of the best moments to gather those items."
Liana couldn"t help but ask, "Why don"t you simply pay someone to gather them for you? The Sacred Land also has its own Elemental Transformation Realm disciples entering the Danger Zone. Usually, no one would want anything with those stones. However, if you offer someone a high enough price, I believe they would do it for you. Once that"s done, you don"t need to appear somewhere Gille knows you."
Rean patted Liana"s shoulder before asking, "He would never do that. Simply put, it"s not interesting in his eyes."
Roan didn"t deny that. Besides, he believed that life and death situations were important for one to improve. This was just one more of those cases.
Liana then looked at Kentucky, who seemed completely used to these things. She was in a dilemma whether she should leave the group, which was obviously the safest option, or continue so that she could protect the Demon Bird. "Sigh... fine. It"s not like I don"t have my own ways if things get complicated."
She then asked, "So, what do you plan to do now?"
Rean, Roan, and Kentucky seemed to already know what they would do. "It"s a little early, but we should be able to push for a breakthrough. So... let"s enter the Saint Realm first."
Liana was taken aback. "Enter the Saint Realm? Now? That"ll take way too long! What will you do if you need to stop in the middle of the process? You might even damage your cultivation forever."
Poor Liana didn"t know about the Soul Gem System"s cultivation manual. Now that the twins had already found their path, the Saint Realm wouldn"t be a problem. The system"s technique was simply perfect. "Don"t worry, it won"t take long. Just protect us against the ghosts. You should be able to do it."
Without even waiting for Liana to answer, Rean brought out hundreds of Rank Two Divine Stones. He crafted a total of fourteen pieces of Special Edition equipment. Each one was sold for 300 stones. Naturally, they now had 4200 Rank Two Divine Stones. Since they didn"t have Rank Three Divine Stones, they might as well compensate it with quant.i.ty.. It would be a huge waste, but Rean and Roan didn"t care at this point.
