Chapter 2971: Doomed Both Ways

Chapter 2971: Doomed Both Ways



Instead of going to the Sunlight Realm entrance like they agreed with Klifon, the twins decided to meet Klifon in his tower first. Perhaps they could go together from there. Yet, when they got there, there was already an airship stationary above the tower. "Seems like the Parton Sect came to fetch Klifon ahead of time," Rean spoke, seeing the emblem on the side of the airship.

In the tower, Klifon was talking to Falatis, the same guy who came to see him the first time the twins were him. "And that's the initial plan. We will try to keep our distance from the other powers and go our own way when the chance presents itself."

Klifon didn't mind. The Parton Sect's idea was to use Klifon to go look for the Divine Werdlem Stone on their own. The other powers most likely would have their own Sun Urpins. Chances are they, too, wouldn't want to stay together for long. "Very well. As I mentioned, two friends of mine will be accompanying me this time around. It will make me feel safer in the midst of all the experts of your sect. They should be waiting for me at the entrance of the Sunlight Realm."

Falatis already knew that. "It is fine. As long as they don't get in our way, they are welcome to join us. However, we will not protect them. Our deal is with you and you only."

"That's to be expected," Klifon was satisfied.

"Actually, you don't need to meet us there," it was then that a voice echoed from the exit of the top of the tower.

Klifon and Falatis looked in that direction and saw Rean and Roan landing on the platform. Falatis's Spiritual Sense immediately checked the two youngsters, seeing that they were only Late Stage Core and Soul Fusion Realm experts. Obviously, such a level was of no concern to him, let alone the high-level experts from Parton. Rean and Roan had different appearances, so no one could tell they were twins this time. "Are these your two friends?"

Klifon, Rean, and Roan then flew up to the airship with Falatis, entering a room that had already been prepared. Inside, the twins took the chance to talk to Klifon through Spiritual Sense. 'Sorry for coming to the tower first. We just wanted to be sure everything was still fine before going to the Sunlight Realm.'

Klifon didn't see a problem with that. 'No worries. So, here's what I discussed with Falatis. Of course, there are probably more things he didn't tell me, so keep your eyes open.'

Klifon then explained how the Parton Sect would act once in the Sunlight Realm. In fact, Rean and Roan had already heard about it since their Spiritual Senses could go further than Falatis. They heard the entire conversation and simply waited for Klifon to repeat the same words. 'A pretty normal approach,' Roan finally spoke. 'Since they have you, they might have an advantage. However, I find it hard to understand why they would send a simple Saint Realm expert to come to fetch you, Klifon. Someone like you should be quite important for this expedition.'

Klifon thought about that. 'I know, right? Since they put so little importance on me, chances are they have other Sun Urpins to help them and stronger ones at that. I'm most likely a backup plan.'

'This is good for us,' Rean interjected. 'After all, what's the point in traveling with the Parton Sect? We will be only getting the scraps. As soon as the chance presents itself, we will separate from Parton and go our own way. Is that fine with you, Klifon?'

Klifon was concerned, though. 'Is that fine? I mean, there will be plenty of high level experts in this expedition due to the possibility of a Divine Werdlem Stone existing in there. No doubt, the leaders of the fourteen powers, all Transition Realm experts, will be there, including their elders. Everyone wants a Divine Werdlem Stone. If we truly separate from the Parton Sect and end up bumping into another one of those powers, we will most likely be

done for.'

'Being with the Parton Sect isn't a guarantee of safety either,' Roan shook his head. 'Did you forget how the Parton Sect acted with your friend? They are notoriously known for being overbearing. Chances are that once we find what they need, they will get rid of us to keep the secret.'

Klifon bitterly smiled. 'Doomed if you do and doomed if you don't. However... it is not like I completely trust you two either, you know?'
