Chapter 284 - Close

Hearing that made Zuan puzzled. 

'Why would it be enough?'

Roan didn't mind answering part of the reason.

'That's because 300 kilometers is the maximum distance I can pinpoint the exact location of that idiot. Further than that, and I will only be able to show the general direction.'

Zuan nodded.

'I see. It seems it's not as simple as Spiritual Sense, right?'

'Correct. My Spiritual Sense is just slightly bigger than average. At the moment, it can only go as far as 250 meters.'

Zuan's mouth twitched. Just slightly? A peak Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator could only sense as far as 150 meters. The ones with superb soul power and talent might reach 200. But to think that this guy can see up to 250 f.u.c.k.i.n.g meters! It might mean nothing to Zuan's actual level, but he was far from Roan's range back when he was at the same level.

Roan didn't say anything about the teleport formation in the Dimensional Realm. It would be better to stay silent in case anything went wrong. Once he reached a distance close enough for the Soul Gem System to reconnect, he would check things with Rean first. The problem is that while the Soul Gem System was disconnected, neither he nor Rean can talk with each other or even Sister Orb.

Back on Rean's side, he and Droman had been in a passive state ever since the kidnapping. Droman was even feeling a little embarrassed at this point. After all, it was he who said that no one would try something like this. But look at the situation right now.

'Sorry. I'll find a way to get at least you free.'

Rean heard that but shook his head.

'It's fine. The problem would have been if they had killed me. However, they seem to be dead set on getting your help. Because of that, they kept us together. Besides, help is already on the way.'

Droman couldn't help but ask.

'Are you sure your brother can feel your general location?'

Rean nodded.

'Yes. I can also feel Roan's, and I can tell that he is quickly approaching.'

Droman nodded as he pondered a bit.

'When I sent the message to Sect Master, I also told her the enemies' cultivation level. That being said, Mia, Reliance, and Elder Fauk are probably coming as well. It's our luck that Reliance is staying in the Sect because of Kentucky. Otherwise, things would be very complicated without his three demon beasts.'

Rean got curious after hearing that.

'Old Worm? So, he's really that strong?'

Droman nodded.

'Indeed. Other than our Ancestor Zuan, Elder Fauk has the highest cultivation there. He is at the Peak of the Soul Transformation Realm. However, keep this fact a secret, okay? I'm only telling you because you will definitely see him in action once they arrive. Elder Fauk's strength is also something that almost no one knows, just like Reliance's Demon Beasts.'

'Who is Ancestor Zuan?'

Only then did Droman remember that Rean had never seen the Sect's ancestor. 

'Oh. This part isn't exactly a secret. All five sects and the Jialin Royal Family can only hold their power because of their ancestors. They are the only cultivators of Jialin at the Saint Realm.'

Rean was surprised to hear that.

'Is this Ancestor coming as well? I hope he does because it will be necessary.'

'That... I don't know. But why will it be necessary?'

Rean smiled but didn't explain. He had his Fourth Form of the Life Style, Hidden Radar. Because of that, he can tell that these five guys scouting them aren't the full force. Since the very start, there was someone with an even stronger Spiritual Sense who had been following them in the shadows. For Rean, the stronger one's Spiritual Sense, the easier it would be to detect. This guy's one was as strong as Polian back in the Profound Abyss Entrance.

Seeing that Rean didn't want to answer, Droman changed the topic.

'Our problem at the moment is the fact that we are in their hands. They can use even you or me as a hostage to hold our Sect's hands. It will make things complicated.'

Rean narrowed his eyes. He did have a way to get both him and Droman out of there safely. However, that meant revealing the existence of the Dimensional Realm and the Teleport Formation to him. In fact, considering that Roan was also with the Sect Master and the others, they would also find out about it. At the moment, he wasn't sure if he should do it or not.

Ancestor Zuan was correct about one thing. The enemies were not flying as fast as they could. Instead, they were making their way out while keeping their presence as hidden as possible. They didn't want to catch other high-level cultivators' attention. After all, they did indeed come from another empire.

Time passed, and almost half a day had gone by. Suddenly, Rean and Roan felt a jolt in their Souls. The connection with the Soul Gem System was recovered.

[Hum? How come you two are so far away from the Sect? Wasn't Roan supposed to stay behind?]

Sure enough, Sister Orb's words immediately echoed in their souls.

Roan then looked at the elders around before saying.

"Found Rean. He is exactly 300 kilometers away from us."

Roan then had everyone slow down until they reached the same traveling speed as Rean's group. With that, they would stay out of the enemy's sight and Spiritual Sense ranges while he and Rean talked.

As he did that, he contacted Rean straight away.

'Hey, Nightingale, still alive?'

Rean's mouth twitched.

'At least more alive than you had ever been.'

'Whatever. Both me and Droman are fine. However, what do you think we should do? If I enter the Soul Gem Realm now, I can escape on my own, but I don't want to leave Droman behind.'

Roan nodded.

'That's the problem here. If you do that and teleport to where I am with the Circuitry Teleport Formation, Sect Master and the others will definitely ask how we did it. However, being in the middle of a battle of this level would have us killed if a single mishap occurs.'

Roan then continued.

'However, I thought about a way to do it and trick everyone. The problem is, you will need to find a way to keep Droman in the dark for a few seconds.'

Rean thought about it for a moment and nodded.

'Don't worry, I know an excellent way of doing it. In fact, he will stay in the dark for much longer than just a few seconds. By the way, what's your plan?'

Roan was surprised that Rean could pull that off. However, he didn't waste time asking what he would do. Instead, he explained the plan.

'I will get a random item from the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and pretend that it is some kind of teleport device that we found in an inheritance. I will also cover it with my Dark Element so that they can't see what it is. After that, you and Droman will teleport to where we are as I destroy it.'Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #...-and-me_17340518006576905/close_50694192447415151 for visiting.

Rean couldn't help but ask.

'Isn't it way too convenient? Do you think the elders will believe it?'

Ron snorted in response. 

'What is there to doubt about? They will see you and Droman appearing by our side in a second. It doesn't matter how suspicious they are. They can only believe it.'

Rean found it too ridiculous. But he had to admit that the Sect Master and the others would have no other choice other than to believe it. After all, would they come to the conclusion that Rean and Roan had a Dimensional Realm with a Teleport Formation just for the two of them? Now, that would be even harder to believe.

'Alright. Tell me when you're ready.'

Roan nodded.

After that, he asked everyone to stop for a second and took out a Rank Three Spirit Stone from his bag. Of course, he covered it in Dark Element so that no one could see what it was. All they could tell is that Roan was holding something that had Spiritual Energy inside.

"What is it?"

Roan smiled as he answered.

"That's Rean and Droman's pass out of that situation. I didn't want to use it, but it seems like I can't take risks here."

Not long after, Roan gave Rean the signal to start.
