Death… and me

Chapter 1541 Unexpected

Roan nodded after hearing that and shared the memories with Rean. However, all Rean could see was a ball of blue energy floating. ‘What is this thing? Water Element? Divine Energy? Both?’

Roan then explained, ‘This is a Sea Chilling Spirit.’

’What?!’ Rean was taken aback. ‘You can’t be telling me…’

’That’s correct,’ Roan confirmed Rean’s thoughts as he said, ‘This Sea Chilling Spirit’s name is Havek Sasamil. By the way, wanna hear a little from him?’

Suddenly, Roan shared the memories of the challenge where Havek’s forces were challenging their opponents. “Hahaha! As expected of me! The disciples I’ve trained are simply unmatched in this world. All hail the great Havek Sasamil!”

Rean’s mouth twitched once he heard Havek’s voice yet again. ‘Yep, that’s definitely, 100% sure the same Havek Sasamil.’ Rean then asked something else, ‘Have you gotten in contact with him already?’

Roan shook his head, replying, ‘As if! This guy is too annoying. You come here and talk to him. I talked with a few of the people and demon beasts from Havek’s sect, so they’re already waiting for your visit later. Of course, Havek’s group won this challenge as well, just so you know.’

Rean didn’t really mind it, saying, ‘Alright, but how come he didn’t recognize you? We aren’t exactly using different appearances here. Also, thanks to our cultivation, our faces barely changed at all in these past few decades.’

Roan understood what Rean meant. ‘Isn’t that obvious? It’s not that he didn’t recognize me, but instead, I didn’t show myself in front of him. The last thing I want is to catch that guy’s attention.’

’You truly hate this type of person, don’t you?’ Rean asked. ‘He isn’t a bad person, you know? He’s just a little over the top with his self-confidence. Anyways, I’m heading out right now to go talk to him. You should come with me as well. If I’m there, Havek probably won’t want to talk to you anyway since he finds you boring. Besides, it’ll work as proof that we are who we are saying to be.’

Roan didn’t like the idea very much but accepted it anyway. ‘Fine. The challenge is over anyway, so I’m on my way back to the tower. I can meet you halfway.’

Rean then went to see Vaz after that. “What? You want to leave now?” Well, ever since Rean joined, everything had been going extremely well for the formation team. Rean had already become a core member of their group, just like Vaz. Now that they were at such an important moment, it made sense that Vaz didn’t like Rean’s request. “Can’t you leave it for another time? We’re very close to getting everything working.”

Rean shook his head, telling him, “It’s important to me, so I have to go.” Fortunately, no one there was a prisoner or anything like that. Since they all signed the Soul Binding Contract, it was pretty much safe to let people and demon beasts go in and out anytime they wanted. “Don’t worry. Once I finish dealing with my problems, I will definitely return. Besides, I’m not the only formation master here. You guys can keep doing your things while I’m out. I trust all of you.”

How could Vaz stop Rean after hearing that? “Sigh… fine. But you better come back as soon as possible, or I’ll head out and drag you back here myself.”

”Hahaha!” Rean couldn’t help but laugh after that. “Fine, fine. I’ll do what I can. See you later, Vaz.”

Rean quickly took the teleport formation and left the underground area. In the tower, he went straight for the exit as he wanted to meet Havek soon. he even got a flying demon beast to help bring him over from the purging organization. After all, Kentucky wasn’t ready to fly yet. Not to mention it would be weird if Rean suddenly took a huge Demon Bird out of nowhere. ‘In any case, Kentucky’s progress to full recovery is very good. He shouldn’t take more than a week or two before he can fly again. Full recovery shouldn’t take no more than a month and a half.’

However, after flying for a few minutes, Rean’s eyes narrowed. He had his Divine Sense bending skill active all the time. It’s just that it was set at very low power so that it wouldn’t be able to bend anyone’s Divine Sense. That way, he could tell if someone was watching him without revealing that he could hide from Divine Senses. ‘Someone at the Late or Peak Stage of the Transition Realm is following me from afar. Is it some kind of protection for me?’

Surprisingly, Rean was right. After Rean showed his abilities, he was considered one of the greatest assets for the people who knew about the escaping project. With that said, Levid had arranged for someone to follow Rean every time he went out. It’s just that this was the first time the guy had to follow Rean since he stayed underground all the time. 

Rean didn’t mind that, though. ‘He isn’t half bad. He knows his cultivation is much higher than mine, so I shouldn’t be able to notice his presence. Nevertheless, he’s following me while making sure he can’t be seen in any other way.’ 

And so, Rean decided to ignore the guy for now. Halfway through the journey, Rean met Roan and the other members of the purging organization who were returning to the tower. They exchanged a few words there before Roan separated from them and joined Rean in his travel. 

’Oh, so we have company, huh?’ Naturally, Roan noticed the protector even faster. ‘Well, that’s to be expected. Just ignore him.’

Rean nodded in response. ‘Okay.’

Eventually, they arrived at Havek’s territory. “Havek is the leader of the sect here, although the sect itself has existed for much longer. The timing of his appearance also matches the time he created that cultivation technique for the girl back in Utari.”

Rean nodded after hearing that. “Which means he was caught by the Salt Sweep from a decade ago. Alright, let’s get there first.”
