Chapter 1118: Brought Back
Chapter 1118: Brought Back
Fabio and Julian’s elders then came forward, feeling somewhat out of place. To be honest, they had been checking on Rean’s group all the time until they opened the hole in the seal. After that, they lost the ability to find out where those four headed. They had been nervous until now, not knowing if it was okay to do that or not. But then again, considering their small countries’ chances in this test, they didn’t say anything else either.
Huring, Holang, Klacks, Tenke, Volava, and many other large and strong countries looked at them as they narrowed their eyes. In the case of Huring Country, it bothered them to no end that someone else passed the test first. For the rest, they wouldn’t mind losing to Huring or some of the other strong countries. However, they also felt terrible seeing such small countries taking the lead there.
Finally, one of these people couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Cassia, I’m from your Huring Country. I’ve been watching my Huring Country disciples all the time until now and can tell they had been ahead of any other power so far. How did these guys pass ahead of our people with that many Yin Corpses out there? Those Transition Realm Yin Corpses should be able to detect them and prevent those guys from reaching the teleport formation.”
Cassia shrugged her shoulders as she responded, “That’s the point where you guys are too small-minded. The moment the participants were teleported into the Yin Death Zone, you all understood that the objective was to escape that place. However, you considered that no one could pass through the barrier just because it was us who sealed that place. With that being said, all your disciples headed to the Soul Eater Sect.”
“That wasn’t wrong, of course. We did indeed leave a teleport formation right in the middle of the Yin Corpses there for them to use. As long as they reach the core of the Soul Eater Sect, they will find that formation. It was quite unfortunate for them that it wasn’t the only way out.”
Someone else asked another question. “So, you left other means to exit the Yin Death Zone?”
Cassia answered without a single drop of shame, “Nope, that teleport formation was supposed to be the only way out.”
“Then…” Obviously, that answer took everyone aback. “Shouldn’t they be disqualified?”
However, Cassia shook her head as she refuted, “Why? Did we ever tell the participants that they must use the Soul Eater Sect’s teleport formation?”
“Errr… no?”
“Exactly!” Cassia nodded after that. “That’s what I found so impressive about these four people. They believed that they could find a way out, a safe way! Now lo and behold, they really did. While your disciples are dying out there, they’re making their way back already. I’m especially surprised that there really was another way to leave that place.”
Of course, no one knew that the way Roan used to get out couldn’t be used by others.
Everyone who didn’t like the result then went quiet. If they complained more about it, they would just be telling others that their own disciples couldn’t do any better.
Cassia then looked at Fabio and Julian’s elders before saying, “Well, truth be told, it was the black-haired twin who did the work. The fact that Julian followed them was his good luck. Nevertheless, in a certain way, it could be said that Julian had good eyes to see the chance in front of him, even though both sides had never seen each other before. That was his merit in this escape.”
Fabio had many eyes on him. However, the ones that mattered were the ones from his own Kamos Country.
The success of Rean’s group was obviously Fabio’s success. The fight for the throne of the Kamos Kingdom still had many hundreds or maybe millenniums of years to go. In any case, getting so much attention from the Sacred Land was a huge accomplishment in the Kamos King’s eyes. Fabio would be sure to tell everything that happened to the king once he was back.
There was nothing wrong with Cassia complimenting someone. It’s just that it was a rare thing during the recruitments. “Anyways, their cultivations aren’t very high, so I’m curious as to how they will deal with the incoming tests. I hope they show me some surprises again.”
As Rean’s group used Julian’s knowledge of the place to move to the nearest country, they were suddenly stopped by a woman who came from high in the skies. Rean’s group immediately recognized her clothes, though. ‘The Sacred Land!’
Julian was nervous as to what she would say. He wasn’t certain if what they did was allowed or not. Still, it was too late to regret.
The woman then used her Divine Energy to grab their group and pull them into the sky. Before they even knew it, they were already flying at extremely high speeds. Rean’s group couldn’t even make sense of the land passing below them. However, on the other hand, the woman seemed to be flying leisurely.
“You four passed the test. But because we didn’t expect anyone to escape the Yin Death Zone like that, we didn’t prepare a way back outside that place. I’ll bring you to the nearest teleport formation and send you back to the Sacred Land.”
Only after hearing those words did Julian calm down. Well, Milina also felt the same way, though. On the other hand, Rean and Roan didn’t look surprised at all. No, to be more specific, they didn’t care. So what if they were disqualified? They could still use Rana’s Glittering Coin to contact Tulipa and get what they needed.
Sure enough, Rean’s group was brought back to the Sacred Land to see Cassia in less than an hour. Immediately, a lot of the elders recognized the black and white-haired boys. Most of them didn’t know who they were when Cassia talked about them since they had never paid too much attention. Only now did they match the twins’ appearance to the large black sphere moving around in the first test.
Obviously, Gille noticed that as well. ‘It’s him again! Great! I was afraid he would have died in this test. It seems like he’s a lot more interesting than I initially thought.’
