Death… And Me

Chapter 1336 - We Should Go Too

Then again, as he didn't know much, he decided that he might as well see it by himself. "Alright, show us the path to one of those entrances. The further away from the top ten powers' disciples, the better."

Hurio and Lilia nodded in response before they told Kentucky where to go first. After that, the five months Hurio said it would take passed in a flash. Why? First, there were no ancient beasts all the way to the first level. Second, Sister Orb was able to detect the ancient formations that shifted from far back, with Kentucky having no problems avoiding them.

There were a few dangerous areas. However, Hurio and Lilia seemed to know the routes in the depths of the Lost Star Realm quite well. It was obvious that the records available for them back at their home were very complete.

Obviously, all four of them took this time to cultivate on Kentucky's back, only stopping when Kentucky needed to land to rest. Even though he was already at Stage Seven, Kentucky couldn't travel forever. Of course, the majority of the time was still spent on air.

Eventually, Kentucky called everyone's attention as his vision was the best in their group. "Hey, there seems to be a cliff in the distance."

Hurio's eyes lit up before he asked, "There should be some mist beyond the cliff. Can you see it?"

"Yes." Kentucky immediately nodded.

"Good! If the location is correct, there should be an opening, like a giant crack, in the cliff head somewhere," Hurio said soon after.

It was still far away, but Kentucky had a good view of the area. He scanned it with his eyes slowly until finally, he found the crack Hurio mentioned several kilometers to the left of their location. "Oh, I believe it's that one." Immediately, he changed direction and flew towards the crack.

However, Rean's group found out that they weren't the only ones there. Another flying demon beast appeared, coming from another direction before it stopped in front of the crack. Soon after, a group of five people came down from it.

Kentucky, obviously, arrived a moment later while Roan and the others looked at the people there. After some time, Roan looked at Hurio before asking, 'Didn't I tell you to bring us to an entrance away from the top ten powers?'

It turned out that the clothes and badges used by those people were the same ones as the ones from the Dragon Tail Brotherhood. It was an organization that looked quite similar to mercenaries. The only difference was that mercenaries usually only cared for themselves. In the Dragon Tail Brotherhood, they were very united and even had Soul Binding Contracts imposed on new members to guarantee that feature.

However, one must not mistake them for some good guys. Other than their brotherhood's people, they wouldn't show any mercy to others if the situation called for it. This kind of management system made them quite a difficult organization to deal with.

Hurio then answered Roan's question, telling him, 'I did. I selected this entrance exactly because it was far away from the top ten powers we saw before. If they're here, then that's because they decided to use a different path from the others and wanted it to be as far as possible.'

However, Rean also noticed another thing. 'It's not their entire group here. The elders that we saw with them back at the barrier are nowhere to be found. Not to mention that they all jumped down from their Demon Bird, so I doubt any of them are at the Transition Realm, let alone Void Tempering.'

In fact, Rean was right. This was a small group that detached from the main one. It's just that Rean and the others didn't know why they did that. Staying together was obviously a lot safer, after all.

All that conversation happened in a flash through Divine Sense, and the people from the brotherhood also did the same between themselves. "Since you're here, why don't you come down?" a man asked, seemingly the leader of that small group.

Rean's group then looked at each other after that and decided to do as the guy asked. It wasn't like they had some vendetta with them anyway. Kentucky quickly landed at the crack's entrance before Rean jumped down and complimented the Dragon Tail Brotherhood's people. "Hello. My name is Rean, a vagrant cultivator. It's quite a surprise to see one of the top ten powers' disciples coming to this entrance. After all, we definitely saw all of you moving together after we passed through the barrier."

The man smiled after hearing that. "I'm also surprised to see someone coming here, especially since the majority of the cultivators from smaller powers followed the big ten. By the way, I'm Celso, a brother of the Dragon Claws."

'Dragon Claws?' Rean and Roan were confused by that. After all, wasn't it supposed to be Dragon Tail Brotherhood?

Hurio then quickly explained through a Divine Sense Message, 'The Dragon Tail Brotherhood has several divisions. The new members and weak ones are part of the Dragon Skin Division. You can think of it as an Outer Sect. Then you have the Scales Division, which would be kind of an Inner Sect. And then, you have the Dragon Claws. They're equivalent to a sect's Core Sector.'

Rean and Roan nodded after that. That made things easier to understand. "So you're brothers and sisters of the Dragon Claws. Nice to meet you, friends. My name is Rean, and these are Roan, Lilia, and Hurio. If you don't mind, we're going to enter the First Level."

Celso looked at his brothers and sisters before they all nodded. "Sure, go ahead. Just be careful because the Light Element wave stirred things up in there quite badly." Celso then began to enter the crack after that. "Now then, I wish you good luck."

Rean's group watched as Celso's group moved into the first level before letting out sighs of relief. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario where they attacked for no reason did not happen.. "Alright, we should go too."
