Chapter 524 - Let's See What You Can Do

Rean and Roan's mouths twitched in response. Little did Jana know that they were right in the middle of her own people, looking as she gave that weird condition. However, there was a problem...the sects and the royal family didn't even know that Rean's group is there. 

Sure enough, Erbec and the others looked at each other, slightly confused.

"White and black-haired twins? Was there such a duo in our groups?"

"No idea. The only ones I know that match this description are the twins from the Dalamu Sect."

Tiria and Juvian nodded in response. They also thought about Rean and Roan when they heard that request.

"Indeed. However, you all know that we didn't bring those two with us. They're supposed to be outside."

Erbec and the others nodded once more. Except for the Guntao Country's forces, they all came inside the barrier together. They also remember very well that the twins didn't become a part of the exploring groups.

Suan, of course, was even more puzzled.

"Who are those twins she's talking about?"

Tiria then gave him a short description of the twins according to what everyone already knew through a Spiritual Sense message.

"What? Light and Dark Element? That's indeed not something you see every day."

Jana was listening to the conversation between the experts of Jialin and Guntao before saying. 

"Those are the exact ones. Just bring them out, and we will have a deal."

Everyone then looked at Tiria and Juvian, prompting Juvian to say.

"Don't look at us. We didn't even know they came inside the Natural Formation. How do you expect us to know where they are? First of all, why should my sect sacrifice its own members for that?"

Jana narrowed her eyes after hearing that.

"Is this some kind of joke? Do you think I will believe that none of you know about them?"

Tiria felt helpless.

"But we really don't know where they are. We don't even know if the people you are talking about are the same as my sect's. Of course, considering your description of Light and Dark Element, I can conclude that it could only be them. Still, I can't give you them if I don't know where they are. Besides, it's not like I would give them to you anyway. You might not know this, but both those twins are extremely important for our Dalamu Sect."

Erbec felt even more helpless. He knew that Rean was married to an Imperial Family member. Naturally, he didn't know if it was a good thing to offer the twins, even if he knew where they were. He also took the opportunity to explain to Suan and his Guntao Country's forces about that same marriage.

Sure enough, Suan's expression turned weird. If it was just anyone, it would be a worthy trade. However, he wouldn't be idiotic enough to trade a Sasamil Family member to the enemy side.

Nonetheless, Jana's expression turned dark after hearing all that. From the looks of it, the twins have some kind of delicate status in the Sasamil Empire. However...

"I don't care as to who they are. If you don't give me an answer right now, I will have to force it out of you."

Finally, Xila felt satisfied with something Jana said.

"I can definitely help you out with this."

Erbec immediately tried to solve the situation.

"Senior Jana. I can't say that we would give the twins to you if they were here. However, the fact is that none of us even knew that they had come inside the natural Formation. It will be pointless to attack us since we don't have the answer you seek."

Rean's group, who observed everything from below, discussed the things they were seeing.

'Things don't look well for the Jialin and Guntao Country forces.'

Roan nodded as he said.

'Indeed. We might need to intervene if we want to stop this.'

Wano looked at the two, slightly perplexed.

'And how do you expect to do that? You can't think of surrendering yourselves just so that you can stop both sides, right?'

Rean and Roan shrugged their shoulders in response. They weren't too much worried about escaping. The issue would be Wano alone. After all, they could bring Calina and Malaka into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm before pretending to surrender. However, Wano would need to take care of himself.

Roan then looked at Wano before asking.

'How confident are you from escaping here?'

Wano let out a bit of cold sweat when he heard that Spiritual Sense message.

'Are you kidding? There are two Saint Realm experts here! First of all, I wouldn't be confident even if they were Soul Forging Realm cultivators.'

Roan nodded as he said.

'The problem is because the others saw you walking with us. If we do surrender, they will pay attention to you and the two girls.'

Wano couldn't help but ask.

'And why would you surrender? Shouldn't you put your own lives above everything else?'

Rean agreed with him.

'Of course, we put our lives above everything else. It's just that we are confident we can escape anytime we want. Unlike you, we really aren't afraid of being captured by them. Besides, it's obvious what they want. They need me to continue healing their poisons. In a certain way, that's what we exactly wanted.'

Wano felt surprise every time he heard that the twins could leave wherever they wanted. However, he quickly calmed down before saying.

'Alright. I do have a way out. But what about Illia and Malaka?'

'Don't worry, they'll be safe. However, don't take things the wrong way. We aren't saying that we'll just surrender to them. Perhaps, there's no need for you to use your method. Well, you should gradually get far away from us so that you can have a distance advantage in case things go south.'

Wano nodded before taking out a blue pendant out of his bag. However, the moment Calina saw that thing, her eyes widened.

'Yo-you! You're a member of the Sasamil Imperial Family!'

Rean, Roan, and Malaka immediately looked at the pendant on Wano's hands. Sure enough, it looked pretty much like Calina's pendant, the same one they had been keeping inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. However, this one wasn't just made to be a way of identifying someone. Rean could tell through his senses that the pendant had accumulated a lot of power.

Wano then looked at Illia, surprised.

'Oh! It seems like you know this pendant quite well.'

In an instant, Calina understood why she felt somewhat familiar with Wano's skills. That's because they were close to the skills used by the Sasamil Family's members. It's just that Wano had modified them quite a lot so that others couldn't see through it.

Roan then looked at Wano.

'We have seen them in the past, indeed. Can you see this white-haired idiot here? He's married to a Sasamil Imperial Family member called Qia. She has a pendant with the Sasamil Family's emblem, just like yours.'

Wano was finally taken aback by those words.

'I see! I've been out of the capital for a long time. However, I heard about the marriage between the Fifth Granduncle's granddaughter and the Communication System creator's disciple. So Rean was that disciple, huh? Now everything makes sense.'

Rean nodded as well.

'Everything makes sense for us as well. No wonder you can fight two or more stages above your level. With the Sasamil Family's resources and skills, it goes without saying that you're above everyone else. No, you're even better than that. It seems like you're a genius even between the family members.'

Malaka then thought about something.

'Wait! In that case, your name isn't Wano, right? I won't say I know every single Imperial Family member since there's a lot of them. Still, you called the Fifth Prince as your granduncle. Obviously, you are quite far above the bloodline tree. I doubt I wouldn't have heard about someone called Wano with such a close connection with the Emperor.'

Everyone nodded, especially Calina. She was sure that none of the Emperor's sons and daughters didn't have a grandchild called Wano.

Wano smiled as he looked at the situation of the negotiation.

'Although we are using Spiritual Sense to talk, the fact is that we don't have much time to start with. What about we talk more about it once you guys finish dealing with the Lakures and humans?'

Roan agreed with Wano.

'He's right. Wano, if you need to escape, you can meet up with us again in the cave. As for Malaka and Illia...'

Roan then looked around. To be safe, their group stayed at the very end of the queue, far behind the action ahead. Because of what was happening with the negotiation, no one was paying attention to them either. That was just perfect for the twins and the girls.

Wano looked at the girls, thinking about what the twins would do with them when all of a sudden, the girls disappeared right in front of his eyes.

"Wh-"

Immediately, he closed his mouth before he shouted. Still, the shook on his face couldn't be faked. He simply couldn't understand how the two girls disappeared like that.

'What was that? Did you teleport them away? However, there's no teleport formation anywhere here.'

Rean nodded, satisfied. Wano was indeed the only one who noticed when Calina and Malaka disappeared. The rest simply couldn't waste their time looking in their direction due to the things ahead.

'You aren't wrong. We did teleport Illia and Malaka away. However, the way we did it is a bit of a secret.'

Wano then took a deep breath and calmed down. Now he understood why the twins weren't afraid of being captured even if they surrendered.

'Whatever, we can talk more about it later. Let's see what you can do.'
