Chapter 1235: Tenke Leaves
“Tiffany…” Some of the people from the Tenke Kingdom’s group wanted to leave straight away. Most of them might be geniuses at controlling Yin Energy. However, they didn’t think they could survive such a huge burst of Yin Energy and Dark Element at the same time.
Tiffany had to admit she didn’t have much of a wish to stay here anymore as well. ‘Do you think we should leave?’ Tiffany asked Roan.
Roan pondered over it for a bit before saying, ‘The problem here is that all I’ve said so far is nothing but a theory. I do believe I’m right. However, if I’m not, then you guys might be losing out on a great opportunity. Do you think it’s worth the wait? Perhaps you can leave fast enough since you’re ready to get out of here. Perhaps even if you react fast enough, you won’t be able to outrun the danger. Or perhaps there’s no danger to start with. First of all, even if there’s no such thing as a burst of Yin Energy and Dark Element, you don’t know what dangers could be waiting for you on the other side. Last but not least… those dark spheres above the gate might not mean anything, and this gate won’t open at all. In the end, the decision’s up to you guys.’
Tiffany nodded in response. However, she wanted to hear Roan’s own choice. ‘What about you and your brother? Are you guys staying?’
Roan understood why she asked that, so he immediately corrected Tiffany. ‘You’re getting the wrong idea here. I’m staying, but that’s not because I think I’m wrong. On the contrary, I’m pretty sure I’m right. The difference is that my Elemental Affinity is Darkness. It doesn’t matter how much Dark Element is present in an environment. It simply has no effect on my body whatsoever.’
Rean also added, ‘In my case, I have Light Element Affinity, which is the bane of Dark Element and vice versa. I can totally resist Dark Element without any issues.’ Well, Rean was connected with Roan and could use Elemental Exchange, so he didn’t even need his Light Element to resist Dark Element.
Rean then looked at Liana after that, telling her, ‘With that said, you should really consider leaving this place together with your kingdom’s people. The final decision is up to you, but it’s not like you guys can’t do anything without seeing what’s behind that door.’
In the end, Liana, Tiffany, and the rest of the members of the Tenke Kingdom decided to vote through Divine Sense messages. Of course, they still pretended that nothing was wrong as they didn’t want to alert the rest of the groups. Sure enough, the risk was too big without any guarantee of a reward, so the majority decided to leave.
Rean and Roan didn’t mind, though. ‘Have a safe trip.’
Tiffany narrowed her eyes. ‘You do know that if I leave, Granto might try something against you, right?’
Roan shook his head, saying, ‘He won’t. When he attacked a moment ago, it became very obvious that the rest of the groups didn’t like it. No one wants to start a fight before finding out what’s behind the gate. Besides, he saw us reaching for our spatial rings, so he definitely thinks we have some life-saving treasures that might give him more trouble than he wants. In the end, he doesn’t know we’re his target. He and his group have to wait.
Liana then asked something else. ‘What about after the gate opens? Would he take that opportunity to get rid of you because of the humiliation?’
Rean was the one to answer that question, telling her, ‘No. If it opens and nothing happens, all the groups will rush inside, aiming to grab the treasures for themselves. The last thing in his mind will be to stay behind to deal with us. He definitely wants to be at the forefront of what will happen there.’
Liana and the others had to admit Rean’s words made sense.
The Tenke Kingdom then finally decided to turn around and leave the room. They left in a calm manner, not caring about what the rest of the groups would think about it. However… Liana didn’t leave.
Roan narrowed his eyes as he looked at her. ‘I have nothing to do with it if you die later.’
Liana nodded, telling him, ‘I don’t expect you to.’
Unsurprisingly, Liana wasn’t the only one. Tiffany was also going to leave. However, after seeing that Liana decided to stay behind, she gritted her teeth and did the same thing. ‘I can’t possibly let you out here alone, so I’m staying as well.’ That obviously made Liana very happy.
However, the problem was the other groups. In the end, some of them couldn’t help but ask Tiffany why most of her team left. “Oh! Do you want to know? Then why don’t you follow them? Of course, that’s only if you want to leave this gate behind.”
Everyone didn’t know what to do. Some felt that something wasn’t right. But then again, Tiffany herself stayed. Was that a trap? Maybe the Tenke Kingdom was trying to lure some of their competitors away from the door so that they would have less competition when it opened later. Or maybe they knew some other route that the others hadn’t found yet. It was hard to tell which one was the right decision. Well, no one wanted to give up the possible treasures behind the gate, so not a single group moved in the end. But that was mainly because Tiffany herself stayed behind.
Granto, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Liana. Obviously, Liana looked completely different from the Liana he knew. ‘Could that girl be her? In that case, would one of the guys on her side be that Roan that Sect Master talked about?’ He had no way of confirming it, especially with Tiffany there. Also, he did see the elements that Rean and Roan used to defend against his attack, and it wasn’t Dark Element. ‘Forget it. I won’t act unless I’m certain.’
