Death… And Me

Chapter 3043 Not Right

3043  Not Right

"Alright, all of you, shut up!" Rean finally lost his patience. "Laica, Tubutu, Lesyu, and I are all disciples of the same master. That's why I'm helping them. Also, do you think it is easy to conceal four people simultaneously? And here are you, asking me to help you all at once! Instead of wasting time asking my help, you should dive into the cave and look for a way out instead."

Everyone's expressions turned horrible. Well, truth be told, Rean could indeed conceal them all with his ability. There were only a bit over a hundred cultivators here. However, he isn't a saint. Above all, Rean wasn't an idiot. He was certain quite a few of them got orders to kill him if they had a chance, just like the previous guys who tried and paid the price. Why would he help potential enemies?

First of all, Rean didn't even need to conceal anyone. If he truly needed to pass through the Swordhorn Sea Race, he could literally slaughter his way past them all, and none of them would be able to stop him. It's just that he didn't want to do such a thing.

"Let's go!" Rean ignored everyone and dove into the waters of the Spiritual Pond. Laica, Lesyu, and Tubutu quickly followed him. When they got close to the caves' entrances, Rean activated his Light and Divine Sense Bending skill, making his group disappear... or so he wished. There were just too many cultivators close to him! Everyone still followed Rean regardless. "For fucks sake?! Can't you just go and find your own way to escape?"

"We would if we could!" Yuan, acting as a leader for the rest of the cultivators, spoke while making sure Rean didn't leave his sight.

"Hmph!" Rean decided he didn't want to play anymore. He used his Spiritual Energy to grab Laica, Lesyu, and Tubutu. Right after, his shot into the caves.

'Life Style, Enhancement!'

Rean moved like a torpedo! So what if they wanted to follow him? Could they truly keep up to his speed? He highly doubted so.

"Rean..." Laica couldn't help but speak. "Are we truly leaving them all behind?"

Rean glanced at her. "They are all cultivators from other powers. Why would you even bother helping them?"

"I know that..." Laica scratched the back of her head. "I know... but we are all in the same situation. It just doesn't feel right..."

Rean looked at Tubutu and Lesyu. "Do you guys think the same thing?"

Both of them looked away. Although they didn't say anything, it was obvious they didn't like it very much either. "Sigh... fine!" Rean finally stopped. He hasn't gone much deeper yet, so the cultivators who fell behind quickly caught up.

Seeing Rean ahead, they all sighed in relief. It became pretty obvious now that Rean could have left if he wanted. "Thank you, friend..."

Rean pointed at Laica and the other two. "You should thank them. They asked me to help you all, so I will do it for them."

The cultivators thanked Laica's group, just like Rean said.

'This is ridiculous...' Rean thought. This wasn't how the cultivator world was supposed to be. Instead, that's the kind of actions that he usually did, not others. He just didn't like the idea of helping these guys since there were possibly those who also got orders to deal with him. Otherwise, he would have helped without Laica and the others asking.

"All of you, get close to me. We will form a tight group for my concealment technique to envelop us all," Rean explained.

He didn't need to ask twice. They all got together and as close as possible. Some even complained that they were being pushed around. "Enough! From now on, no more sounds. Moving as a group of almost a hundred cultivators will cause disturbances in the Spiritual Pond, so try to use your Spiritual Energy to smooth these disturbances around you. Let's go!"

Rean then activated his Light and Divine Sense Bending Skills. Thanks to Little Fisha, he even knew a little bit about the caves, so he knew which path to take to avoid most of the Swordhorn Fish of higher level.

As they moved deeper, Rean spoke to everyone through Spiritual Sense. 'The Spiritual Canyon Formation will activate soon, but even such a huge formation must have its limits. If we can go deep enough, the formation probably won't reach us. Perhaps we can even find a way out, so try to stay calm.'

Truth be told, Sister Orb already told him that the formation had no problem reaching the depths. What didn't reach those parts was the monitoring side of the formation since the formation wasn't made for that. And that... gave him another idea. 'Sister Orb, be ready to act when the Spiritual Canyon closes.'

[Leave it to me!] Sister Orb knew what to do.

Outside, the various screens began to show interference as the elders observed Rean's group going deeper into the caves. It's just that they couldn't hear anything their group was speaking about. "Sir, they are about to leave the range of the monitoring system," a formations master warned Fausto on the side.

Fausto didn't seem concerned, though. "It is fine. The slaughter formation will activate regardless. We will know as soon as it happens."

Finally, Rean's group went too deep for the monitoring to reach them, and the monitors went black before switching to other cultivators in other places. The cultivators on the monitors now were the last ones making their way out of the Spiritual Canyon. When the last one of those cultivators left the Canyon, only a minute remained for it to close.

Kuslau still observed, hoping for a miracle. Unfortunately, he didn't know what to do or how Rean and his other disciples could possibly leave that place.

It was then that the Spiritual Canyon's formation closed up. If there was anyone inside, the slaughter formation would activate... and that's exactly what happened. The elders who knew about formations noticed how the energies of the formation shifted, which meant the slaughter formation found someone. Naturally, only Rean's group remained.

Kuslau couldn't help but tear up. His relationship with Rean wasn't very long, but it was not the same for Laica, Lesyu, and Tubutu. Those three had been his disciples for many years. "I should have known such a thing was possible..."

Yet, it was at this moment that his communication device activated. When he looked into it, he noticed a message... from Rean!

-Hey, master. Things turned a little bit annoying, so I might take a few days to return to the clan. Just go back ahead. Don't worry, though. I'll bring Laica's group with me. We are fine. See ya!-

Kuslau's mouth twitched. 'That's... not the kind of message you would get from someone about to die, right? First of all, since when do CDs work inside the formation...?' He thought to himself. Nonetheless, he could only do as Rean said and return. As to how Rean would leave the Spiritual Canyon, he would have to ask about it later.

And as always, any Golden Tickets and Stones are welcome. ;)
