Chapter 186 - Don't be afraid!

Qerten was located on the south-west side of Jialin. Unlike Rean and Roan's country, this one is not controlled by a Royal Family, but the sects within. In total, seven sects jointly manage the country, with two of them being at war at the moment.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #...-and-me_17340518006576905/don't-be-afraid!_49174666035657948 for visiting.

Those two Sects were fighting over a Spiritual Vein recently found close to each one's borders. However, due to the size of both sects, the area of the war was gigantic. Turns out that the mountain range with the Midday Ginseng is also somewhat close to the area of mutual aggression. 

Thanks to Nana's speed, the twins only took one day and a half instead of the seven days of flight previously expected. However, Nana did not enter the area controlled by those two sects. After all, a Peak Stage Four Demon beast following two kids on the ground would catch too much attention. It was different from her flying at high altitudes, where it was hard to see.

"Nana, stay around here while we go out to look for the Midday Ginsengs. There shouldn't be anyone who can pose you danger unless a nascent Soul cultivator appears. However, if one does come, make sure to flee straight away."

*Creee!*

Nana flapped her wings as if confirming that she understood what Rean was saying. Rean then rubbed her head a little more and then left with Roan.

At the moment, Roan was holding a map in his hands, which he got from Hulian. 

"If we run at full speed, we should get at the mountain range with the Midday Ginsengs in four to five hours."

Rean nodded.

"That's good enough. Still, there is no need to run so fast. It would only make us consume too much energy. We are already five days and a half ahead of our schedule, after all."

Roan agreed with him and then checked their positions. After confirming which side they should go, Rean and Roan once again departed. They kept running for three hours straight. As Rean mentioned, there was no need to run at full speed, so they continued at a leisure pace.

However, Roan was right about this place. On their way, Rean and Roan noticed battles ongoing on three occasions. Still, because they passed far away and those combatants were busy with themselves, no one saw the twins nearby.

However, after running over half of the way, they suddenly bumped into a cultivators' couple. They had yellow robes and were using a badge with three crossed spears. Rean and Roan made sure to get the information about the sects at war, so they immediately identified those two. They were members of the Sky Piercing Sect.

But that wasn't all. The couple seemed to be in a hurry. Their robes were very dirty too, showing that they had been running for quite some time. When the couple saw Rean and Roan, they were taken aback. After all, Rean and Roan looked to be only kids. The twins weren't using any sect's attires either, which made their presence in this place totally unexpected.

Suddenly, both sides heard something and looked in the direction that the couple came from. It was then that they saw five figures rushing out from the back of the trees far in the distance. That group was made entirely of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Four were at the same Late Stage as the couple. As for the last one, he was at the Peak of the Foundation Establishment. 

They were using purple robes. The badges on them had a cloud with lighting coming down from it. Rean and Roan identified that they were a group from the Heaven's Might Sect. Obviously, this was the sect in a war against the Sky Piercing one.

When the couple saw that, their expressions turned ugly. The woman then turned to the twins and shouted.

"Are you blind? Run!"

However, Rean and Roan looked at the woman with unconcerned eyes. Judging by the enemies' cultivation, Rean and Roan weren't afraid at all. If anything, their numbers would prove to be a good challenge for the two. Well, it's not like they had to believe her words either. Chances are that she shouted 'run' so that their pursues would switch part of their attention to them. It would make their escapade easier too.

Surprisingly though, the couple didn't try to flee straight away. That's because they noticed that Rean and Roan didn't move at all after their warning.

"F.u.c.k! Why do we have to bump into such bummers!"

The couple then dashed straight at Rean and Roan. For a second, the twins thought that the couple decided to attack them. Yet, the impressive thing was that neither Rean nor Roan could see the red color of killing intent coming from them. As mentioned before when Rean and Roan were still babies, Roan has a unique ability that could detect killing intent directed at them. This ability manifested into a red color that could be seen with n.a.k.e.d eyes. Rean, of course, could see it too, thanks to their soul connection.

Roan narrowed his eyes. Even if there was no killing intent, he wouldn't simply let this couple do whatever they wanted with him and Rean. He was going to wait the last second so that neither of the two could escape his strike. After that, they could deal with the rest on the back. However, just as he was about to attack, Rean gave a thunderous shout through their soul connection.

'WAIT!'

Roan was taken aback for a moment, which was precisely the moment he was supposed to attack those two. 

'F.u.c.k!'

Roan braced himself for the incoming attack while cursing Rean from distracting him in the last instant. However, the strike Roan was expecting did not come. Not only that, he felt to be moving away from his initial position for some reason. A second later, he finally understood what was happening. The couple grabbed both him and Rean and began to run away together!

At the same time, he heard the man who was carrying Rean cursing.

"Why the hell we found kids in this place?"

The woman who was carrying himself then replied.

"Stop complaining, and Run! Or could it be that you plan to leave these kids there?"

The man immediately shook his head.

"Of course not! This part of the forest is our territory. Those guys from the Heaven Might Sect will definitely think that these kids are from our side. If we leave them there, they will be killed. The fact that they appeared here was our sect's negligence. We can't let that happen."

The woman nodded.

"Weaklings like them will be trussed as if they were chickens. Look at how frightened they are. Even after we told them to run, they didn't move a single muscle!"

The woman then began to pat Roan's head while speeding away.

"Don't be afraid. Your big sister Lana will definitely protect you two."

Roan's mouth twitched for a second. 

'Who the hell needs your protection?!'

Rean, on the other hand, couldn't hold himself.

"Hahahaha! That's right, Roan, trust your big sister Lana!"

Roan felt like sending a certain white-haired someone into the path of reincarnation sooner than expected.

*Pow!*

Suddenly, Rean felt a pain in the back of his head. Turns out that the man smacked it.

"What are you laughing, brat? Are you so dumb that you don't understand the situation we are in?"

After seeing that, Roan didn't feel like this couple was that bad after all.

'Ah... The sweet taste of karma!'
