Death… And Me

Chapter 2928: Shouldn't Take Long



On their way back, Rean and Roan kept themselves hidden with Rean's Light and Divine Sense Bending Skills.

"Are those Gloom Star Spirits really that good?" Rean asked out of curiosity.

Roan nodded slightly. "They are indeed very good, almost as good as Celis. Of course, they are Yin Energy types of Spirits, so they would be good only for Yin Energy types of Herbs. In any case, since Celis isn't here, I might have some use for them in the future."

"Well, that's fine," Rean didn't mind. "The problem is that we don't have our own Dimensional Realm anymore."

"We will work with what we have," Roan commented. "If we don't get the Dimensional Realm before leaving the Gondel Clan, then there is no need to come back later."

Rean and Roan ended up passing by several other cultivations in the Nascent Soul Realm and above on their way back to the surface. No doubt the guy called Arlo had his forces patrolling everywhere, trying to find this expert at the Soul Transformation Realm or above.

Arlo did find out his brother was looking for the twins, and he also knew the twins' were related to Kuslau, who was supporting Dancio. In his head, the twins were indeed used as bait to cause some trouble to Willot. Well, neither Rean nor Roan cared about the guy.

Right now, they acquired the Profound Soul Herbs, the first of the five materials necessary for the Void Shattering Pill, and that's all that mattered.

They reappeared in the Ancestral Dungeon's entrance as if nothing had happened, catching quite a few curious eyes. Some of those watching them were related to Arlo and Willot, so they quickly left to alert their companions. Rean and Roan noticed the various movements but just ignored them all. They are just 'Foundation Establishment' cultivators, so how could they do anything about it?

Later that day, Kuslau called Rean back to his residence in the central area of the Clan. Kuslau heard about Rean entering the Ancestral Dungeon and how many shadows followed him right after. Yet, Rean feign ignorance. "What are you talking about, Master? Roan and I didn't meet anyone in the Dungeon."

"No one?" Kuslau was taken aback. Was his reports wrong? "Are you sure?"

Rean 'pondered' a bit and continued. "Well, we did pass by a few other cultivators with similar cultivations, but neither of them seemed to want to do anything with us. These encounters seemed to be nothing but coincidence. We stayed in the second level of the Ancestral Dungeon, where all Foundation Establishment cultivators that enter the dungeon usually go. I guess there is nothing wrong find one or another during this time, no?"

"Well..." Kuslau agreed. "That is indeed normal. The first and second levels are a lot more crowded. I just thought someone had entered to cause you trouble as well. In any case, if you didn't meet anyone, then it is fine. What about cultivators about Foundation Establishment? Did you see any?"

Rean nodded. "I did see a few of them flying by near the seal between the first and second levels, but they seemed in a hurry, so I don't know what to tell you..."

"No, that's fine," Kuslau sighed in relief. "Since nothing out of the ordinary happened to you, that's the best. Did you finish your mission?"

"Yes," Rean nodded. "I have already collected the reward as well. That Dungeon is truly good. It is the perfect place to train against Spirits and Demon Beasts of similar levels. Roan and I even got surrounded once, but we managed to escape."

Rean then remembered something. "Oh, right! We entered the third level as well."

"You did?" Kuslau was taken aback. "That's too dangerous!"

"It was indeed!" Rean spoke with excitement. "There are way more Stage Two Spirits and Demon Beasts in there. We didn't go too far and only spent a few hours inside. Nonetheless, it proved to be a very nice experience."

Kuslau patted Rean's shoulder, satisfied. "That is good. You can't build real experience without going through real danger. Just go back in there to train again if you feel like it. There are also missions outside the Gondel Clan that might be an eye-opener as well. You might want to consider those."

"Thank you, Master. I will keep that in mind." Rean smiled.

Kuslau then gave Rean a few more tips, and the two bid farewell to each other. Once Rean left the residence, Kuslau looked to the side. "Laica."

"Yes, master." Laica quickly arrived and kneeled.

"Was there any more information regarding the cultivators that entered the dungeon right after Rean?" Kuslau asked. The fact Rean didn't meet anyone seemed way too strange.

"A few of them came out," Laica answered. "But from what I heard, they didn't manage to find Rean and his brother in the dungeon. Some even reported the twins entered the third level and didn't follow, afraid of meeting some Stage Three Spirits and Demon Beasts."

"I heard Rean mentioning he entered that level," Kuslau nodded. "Alright, Rean and his brother seemed to have been the target but managed to escape on their own. Whether they really didn't meet anyone or not, I can't tell. But, if they came back without any injuries, perhaps that was truly the case. Try to find out the reason for Willot to send that many people into the Ancestral Dungeon as well. Willot might be planning something. I will warn senior Dancio."

"Yes, Master." Laica quickly accepted the order and left.

Kuslau then brought his CD out and contacted High Elder Dancio, the one he was supporting in taking the position as the new master of the Clan. "And that's what happened so far,

Dancio."

-I already knew this, - Dancio spoke back. -One of Willot's direct disciples died in the Ancestral Dungeon, so Arlo was sent to investigate. That's why you saw that bunch going in. If you had checked the Soul Flames, you would have known as well.-

"Ah!" Kuslau quickly inputted a few commands into his CD, and sure enough, he found out about the Soul Flame that extinguished. "So that's why..." He then sighed in relief. Obviously, that wasn't something his new disciple could be involved with since he simply didn't have the cultivation for it. Following that, Kuslau changed the topic. "By the way, senior Dancio. How's the Clan Master's retirement plans?"

Dancio got serious. He hasn't decided what to do yet, but it shouldn't take long.-
