Chapter 133 - There Is No This Or That
The two disciples immediately answered.
"Everything is going as planned. Inna and Oka already completed over 50% of the process, so it shouldn"t take them more than a month to finish it all."
Elder Zuna nodded before speaking.
"Tell the other disciples to go to the gathering them. With the process being over 50%, there is no need for constant attention anymore. The other girls in the gathering would have some difficulty to show our Faction"s Strength with their numbers alone, after all."
The two disciples bowed and went back to where Malak was staying. Zuna then left as fast as she came.
Back inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, Rean was happy and worried by what he heard. He was happy that there would be less security around Malaka but worried about what that over 50% meant.
However, Roan snorted right after.
"Hehe! What a cunning lady. These girls from the Blue Orchid District are really sly."
Sister Orb and Rean were taken aback.
"What do you mean?"
Roan then answered.
"There is no such thing as reducing the number of disciples around Malaka. If anything, chances are that the security will increase instead."
Rean"s eyes narrowed. He wasn"t an idiot, so he immediately understood what Roan meant.
"She said those words for us to hear. Even though she only saw a shadow of our presence that didn"t last more than 0.1 seconds, she still believes that someone is around. Not only that, but considering how we were getting close to the place where this "Spiritual Rebirth" is happening, she concluded that Malaka or Oka was our target."
Roan nodded.
"I believe that even if we leave right now, you won"t be able to feel any Spiritual Sense around. Not only that, but you also might not feel a single one until you get close to where Malaka is staying. Any Spiritual Sense checking is probably focused there. This is, without a doubt, a trap!"
Rean couldn"t think about a solution. How can they see Malaka in this situation?
Do they really have to retreat?
It was then that Roan"s mouth curved into a cunning smile.
"Since they are reverting the guards to where Malaka is staying, why don"t we enjoy the other empty places? I"m sure that quite a few goods are out in the open for us."
Rean was taken aback.
"Are you planning to rob the Blue Orchid Sect of their resources? I think we shouldn"t go that far. We still haven"t confirmed if they are doing anything wrong with Malaka or not. Besides, I don"t think that they would leave important resources out in the open for anyone to take to start with."
Roan shook his head.
"You misunderstood me."
Roan then explained his idea to Rean and Sister Orb.
[Hahahahaha! Great! Let"s go, I very much want to see if they will be calm enough to ignore it.]
Rean, on the other hand, was sweating rivers.
"This..."
However, Roan cut him right there.
"There is no this or that, that"s what we are going to do. Or could it be that you don"t want to know what is happening to Malaka? That"s the best way of driving everyone out of that place."
Rean couldn"t help but grit his teeth and nod.
"Alright!"
A small part of a finger appeared in midair in the place where Rean and Roan had entered the Soul Gem Realm. This was none other than Rean"s finger. He was using his Spiritual Sense Bending to feel the surroundings to see if there wasn"t any Strong Spiritual Sense.
Suddenly, two twins jumped out of s.p.a.ce. One of them was piggybacking the other one.
"How is it?"
Rean concentrated on his Light and Spiritual Bending Skills for a moment before nodding.
"All clear, there is no Spiritual Sense around. In fact, I can"t even feel the other ones which were weaker or too far to force their way through my Bending."
Roan"s cunning smile appeared once more, and they immediately departed. However, the place they had gone to wasn"t where Malaka was staying.
Around a kilometer away, there is a tower almost 100 meters high. This tower was basically alone with no other building surrounding it. Inside, one could see two girls sat in the middle of a formation in which a stream of blue energy entered their Dantians. As time pa.s.sed, the two girls" demeanor seemed to change little by little.
One could also see several female disciples keeping watch of those two. However, instead of looking at Malaka and Oka, they were more concentrated in their Spiritual Sense. Not only them, but the only elder around did the same thing. Not too surprisingly, she was Elder Zuna.
Usually, there wouldn"t be so many people inside the tower. In a normal situation, two or three disciples would be more than enough to keep an eye if something went wrong with the new girls. But because of Elder Zuna"s sudden order, quite a few disciples gathered inside the tower. In contrast, the Blue Orchid District became even more empty than it already was.
Over two hours pa.s.sed, but so far, Elder Zuna didn"t find anything wrong.
"Could it be that I was really imagining things? I could swear that my Spiritual Sense had caught someone"s presence for a fraction of a second. The only thing happening in our Blue Orchid District at the moment is the Spiritual Rebirth, which was very close to where I felt that presence. Other than that, there is nothing else. There is no point in rob us of our resources either since we are the district/faction that receives the smallest amount of them."
Although Elder Zuna had called quite a few disciples to the tower, she still left a few outside doing their patrols around just in case. The two girls in front of the District entrance were two of them.
Suddenly, one of the disciples responsible for patrolling inside the district came inside the tower in a flash. Everyone could see that she was in a hurry. However, judging by her expression, she wasn"t afraid or anything like that. Instead, her face contorted as if she was trying to suppress the flames of fury inside her body.
From the looks of it, something terrible was going on.
Elder Zuna then immediately asked.
"What happened?"
The disciple couldn"t calm down as she said while fuming!
"Someone... Someone stole all the underwears from our rooms. Including... including the used ones that were supposed to be washed later!"
