Chapter 3041 Sudden Development

3041 Sudden Development

Rean was happy Little Fisha made her decision. "That's good for you, especially since your race seems to be related to some Divine Beast Race of the Sea Races. Otherwise, the Blood Reformation Pill wouldn't have revealed that hidden bloodline in your body. I don't know which one it is, but it will definitely be of great help to you in the future. Make sure to not waste that opportunity."

Rean finished his words and turned to the exit. "Well then, let's go, Foliana. Time to go back before they close the Spiritual Canyon."

"Okay!" Foliana happily agreed. "Little Fisha, it was good to meet you." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Wa-wait!" Little Fisha jumped ahead to the exit and entered the water of the Spiritual Pond again. "I can at least bring you back to the entrance of the caves. There can't be a faster method."

"Then we will be counting on you," Rean and Foliana accepted the offer.

Outside, the various elders still watched all the events in the Spiritual Canyon. It took some time, but they also finally let Kuslau go after Kuslau refused to answer their questions all this while.

Still, Rean was the main focus on quite a few of them through the monitoring ability of the formation. It's just that his movements made them confused. Rean kept moving everywhere inside the Caves of the Pond before hiding in some corner. When the Swordhorn Fish got close, he would come out and move somewhere else before hiding again. It was truly strange.

Obviously, that wasn't Rean, but a projection Sister Orb created after she hacked into the formation. Her only job was to make sure 'Rean' never bumped into the other cultivators who entered the caves to acquire the algae. After all, it would look strange if 'Rean' passed by those cultivators, but those cultivators didn't even notice he existed.

Suddenly, 'Rean' left his cover and began to make his way out of the caves. At some point, he met with Foliana, and the two joined together on their way out.

The truth was obviously not that. Sister Orb just created that story in the formation. The Real Rean and Foliana were very close to that position, though.

"Alright, this is it, Little Fisha," Rean patted the big Swordhorn Fish head. "You were a very nice mount. Hahaha!"

Little Fisha didn't like it, though. 'Don't treat me like a youngling! I'm almost 150 years old, okay?'

"Then I won't," Rean took his hand away immediately. She was a Stage Six Demon Fish, equivalent to a Nascent Soul Cultivator, so that age made sense. If anything, she was quite ahead compared to most at the same level, obviously thanks to the Spiritual Pond.

*Zush!*

Yet, Little Fisha immediately swam back under Rean's arm. 'Forget what I said. Pet a little more...'

"Right..." Lins had his doubts, but he knew Foliana wasn't lying about the festival. Everyone saw Rean in the platforms back in the palace during the contest. He also knew Foliana had a talk to Rean and Roan after the contest was over. "Please refrain from doing such a thing again. We would be quite in a bad spot if something had truly happened to you."

"I will keep that in mind," Foliana nodded. "Anyway, the closure is approaching, right? Let's go out."

"Understood," Lins answered and looked at his companions. "Everyone, we are leaving. Let's go."

Meanwhile, Rean was talking to Kuslau's other disciples, Laica and the others. "Good to see you guys are fine."

Laica felt the same. "You caused quite a commotion a few days back, no? I heard how you trashed several cultivators again here in the pond."

Rean had already forgotten that. "Oh, that indeed happened. I guess that's the reason no one is trying their luck anymore. Anyway, I got quite a lot of Algae. Don't mind me, though. You still have a few extra minutes, so you should enjoy the Spiritual Pond until the last moment. I will wait for you guys."

"Alright!" Laica, Tubutu, and Lesyu nodded, quickly returning to the Pond while Rean just sat there in midair, waiting. He got the algae Kuslau wanted and quite a lot of the Pristine Elemental Liquid in the pond. There was plenty for Roan to use as well, so you could say all ended well.

When the closure approached, Laica and the others finally left the pond and began to make their way back. The rest of the cultivators there didn't stay for long either since they knew the Spiritual Canyon would close soon.

*Rumble!*

However, before the last groups, including Rean's, could make their way out, the ground began to tremble.

*Crumble!*

Following that, all the caves that led to the Spiritual Pond underground began to collapse, forcing everyone back. Rean flashed, grabbing Laica and the others and flying back as well.

*Crash!*

The caves finally came down, leaving no escape to the outside. "What the hell?!"

Everyone got trapped... and the Spiritual Canyon was about to close soon. Once that happened, the slaughter formation would activate, and anyone who wasn't supposed to be in the Canyon would be killed!

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