Death… and me

Chapter 1230: Powerful

Liana was surprised to hear that and took a look. Sure enough, far in the distance, it was possible to see a few spots of light on the ground. “The light definitely fits the description! Great! Not only did I get one complete Yin Ghost Core, I even found the flowers!”

Liana then looked at the twins, telling them, “I’m obviously sharing the Merit Points of the Yin Ghost Core with you two. You don’t need to worry about that.”

Rean and Roan shook their heads after hearing that. They didn’t have much use for Merit Points other than the ranking board of the Sacred Land. However, if Rean wanted Merit Points right now, he could definitely sell his equipment for a lot of them. It was quite unfortunate that he couldn’t receive Rank Three Divine Stones as payment since it’s a rule of the Sacred Land. “There’s no need. We did get rid of the rest of the ghosts, but the one that really mattered after our breakthrough was the ghost with a complete Yin Ghost Core. Since you did the job, you can have the points.”

“But…” Liana didn’t feel it was right. However, the twins didn’t seem to care about it either. “Alright, I won’t insist then.”

It didn’t take long to arrive at the end of that corridor. It’s just that Liana didn’t expect to find that many flowers. “Holy shit! I couldn’t see well because of the distance. But now, I could truly say that I’ve struck gold.” She quickly and carefully collected the flowers into her spatial ring. “37 Yin Flowers! This should be enough to complete my task seven times over.”

Roan nodded after hearing that. “Good to hear. Now, if you want to head back, be my guest. You have gotten everything you needed, after all.” Sure enough, Roan took every opportunity to get rid of the nuisance. 

Liana shook her head before she grabbed Kentucky’s wing. “I still don’t have him.”

Kentucky seemed very happy to hear that. “If just Roan loved me as much as she does.”

Roan completely ignored Kentucky’s words. “If you die later, it won’t be my problem. Let’s go.”

Immediately, Roan dashed away in the direction of the concentration of Dark Element he was feeling. Since Kentucky was also feeling the same presence in the form of a high-level ore, it was probably the thing Roan needed.

Along the way, they found other ghosts and even bumped into one more group. However, both occasions didn’t become anything serious. There were no ghosts with complete Yin Ghost Cores, nor did the group they met cause any trouble for them. Around thirty minutes later…

‘Rean!’ Roan called Rean’s attention.

Immediately, they used Light and Divine Sense bending skills, completely vanishing from sight. However, no one seemed to be heading their way, so Rean, Liana, and Kentucky were confused. ‘Can you feel someone’s presence?’

Roan nodded, telling them, ‘Yes. It seems like a few people who can control Dark Element to a decent extent are ahead. However, they’re not moving. They’re all waiting in the same place. Let’s wait here for a moment to see if they will move.’

Rean and the others nodded after that. However, several minutes went by, and nothing changed. Roan could tell that no one was leaving their spot, as if they were waiting for something.

Suddenly, another group appeared and passed by Rean’s group without noticing them. However, that group happened to do the same thing and stop in the same place.

‘Most likely, there’s an obstacle ahead of those groups, although I can’t see it since we haven’t arrived there yet,’ Roan could not help but say. 

Liana could not help but ask after that, ‘Should we go back and try to find another route, then? Oh, right! Is the Life’s Nemesis Rock in that direction to start with?’

‘It is.’ Roan and Kentucky nodded at the same time. It wasn’t certain yet if it really was Life’s Nemesis Rocks, but the thing they could feel the presence from was definitely in that direction.

It was then that Rean had an idea. ‘Wait! We judged that the Blood Path Sect is looking for Peak Stage Soul Transformation Realm cultivators, right? Just as Liana mentioned, one would be crazy to try a breakthrough in this place. Now that we’re all in the Initial Stage of the Saint Realm, shouldn’t we be in the clear? At the very least, the Blood Path Sect won’t think we’re the people they’re looking for. Of course, that doesn’t mean we’re out of danger. But we could at least move a bit more freely.’

Roan and Liana were surprised to hear that. However, Liana immediately found a problem. ‘They did see that I was with all of you, didn’t they? They also saw your appearance and mine. Last but not least, there’s Kentucky. He’s at Stage Seven now, but other than getting bigger, he still looks pretty much the same.’

‘Oh! That’s not an issue at all.’ Rean then touched Kentucky before the Demon Bird completely disappeared from sight. Obviously, he sent Kentucky into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. One must remember that those connected to Rean and Roan had a free pass inside. Also, they were obviously in no danger whatsoever at the moment, so the system wasn’t blocking the entrance.

‘What?!’ Liana opened her eyes in shook! How did Rean make Kentucky disappear like that? No spatial ring should be that big. Even if it was, it shouldn’t allow living things inside. ‘How did you do that?! Where is he right now?’

Rean smiled in response. ‘Don’t worry, don’t worry. We got something from Elder Etherian, that’s all.’ Rean didn’t care about using Etherian’s name at all. It was very convenient.

‘One of the Ten Greats!’ Obviously, Liana still remembered when Etherian intervened for the twins during the recruitment. ‘I see… only someone like Elder Etherian could possibly have spatial equipment that allows life inside.’

Suddenly, Rean touched Liana’s shoulders sometime later. ‘Now then, time for the second transformation.’

‘What are you going t-‘ Before Liana could finish asking, a huge burst of Light Element entered her, entering every single cell in her body. The intention was obviously to change her body structure to look like a different person. Rean had done it many times in the past, so he was used to it and could finish everything very quickly. Last but not least, it was only temporary. Once the Light Element wore off, she would be back to normal.

*Moan!*

Well, Light Element was still Light Element. Liana had never felt so good in her life. It was the first time that Liana reached… climax. And her climax… was quite powerful.
