Death… And Me

Chapter 515 - Maybe Another Time

Rean shrugged his shoulders as he said.

"I can heal the poison in everyone\'s bodies. Isn\'t that a good enough reason to at least be allowed to have a few words with him?"

Jana laughed in response as she said.

"Hahaha! I think you have the wrong idea here. Sure, I won\'t allow anyone at the Nascent Soul Realm or above to touch you. However, the Core and Soul Fusion cultivators and below are another story. You two are only alive because I told them to not do anything to you. Don\'t think that I became your friend or anything like that."

"That being said, your only chance at staying alive is to keep healing everyone. You two have no other choice."

Rean and Roan narrowed their eyes in response as they communicated.

\'What do you think? Is there anything else to be gained here?\'

Roan pondered for a bit before saying.

\'You already planted the seed of doubt in them. Even if they don\'t let us see that so-called ancestor of them, they\'ll start considering whether what we said is true or not.\'

Rean nodded as he responded.

\'That\'s already a good outcome. I don\'t know if it would be enough to prevent mutual killing between humans and Lakures on a large scale. Still, it\'s obvious that they would at least consider the possibility of what I said being true. Maybe there\'s something to gain from it in the future.\'

Rean didn\'t come up with that to generate discord between the Lakure Race members. He genuinely spent a lot of time thinking about the story told by that guy they interrogated. After talking about it with Roan, then obviously noticed those weird points.

Jana didn\'t know that Rean and Roan were talking, nor did she care. As long as Rean kept healing everyone, that was for the better. As for the thing Rean talked about, she would need to give it further thought in the future. However, it wasn\'t time for that right now since they were still in a precarious situation.

Jana then looked at Xila and said.

"I guess we\'re done here, right? However, let\'s leave aside whether what he said is true or not. He can heal the poison of the underground world. You won\'t complain about forcing him to heal everyone else, I believe?"

Xila\'s expression was still dark. However, Rean\'s words about their race fighting against each other really hit him. That being said, there was no way he or the others on his side would engage in a battle against Jana and the others.

"Fine! At least, we can make him work to his bones forever. I won\'t attack them as long as they don\'t open their mouths anymore."

Jana was relieved that Xila accepted that. Soon after, she looked at Rean.

"So, how long will it take to remove the poison in my body?"

Rean pondered for a bit, and out of nowhere, he stopped getting rid of Jana\'s poison. Roan already knew that Rean would do that, so he said.

"Forget it. Since we can\'t obtain good treatment, then we\'d rather just leave."

Jana and everyone else were taken aback. What were they talking about? There was no way they can escape from here. Their formation in the valley can show their exact position even without Spiritual Sense.? They would be surrounded way before they could reach the exit.

Xila then laughed out loud as he said.

"Ha...hahaha! Do you think you can leave that easily? I did agree that I wouldn\'t attack you, but we have more than enough people at the right level that can do so."

The others also laughed at that. Obviously, they all agreed with Xila on that.

However, Jana was the only one who kept feeling that something wasn\'t right. Even before, when Xila tried to attack the twins, they didn\'t seem to be concerned at all. Somehow, she felt like they had some trick up their sleeves. That said, she immediately used Spiritual Energy pressure to lock the two down.

"I don\'t know what you can do, but there\'s no way I will let you two leave now that I know you can heal everyone\'s poison."

Rean and Roan\'s bodies hit the ground not long after, and they could barely move at all. However, they continued to talk, seemingly unconcerned about it.

"Well, then. It seems like negotiation is impossible at this point. Senior Jana, once you decide that it is worth giving us a chance, I\'ll help you and the others with the poison in your bodies. Until that time arrives, this is farewell for now."

This time, even Xila and the others noticed that something was off... or the twins were simply hallucinating. However, their expression changed into pure shock in the next second. Right in front of everyone, the twins\' bodies began to turn into specks of Dark and Light Energy before drifting away without any signs.

\'Death Style, Fifth Form, Mirage Assault!\'

Rean and Roan weren\'t idiots. If they simply disappeared in midair, it might lead to the discovery of their Dimensional Realm. That being said, they used Mirage Assault to summon clones to take their places. The clones had always been able to use their skills, albeit with some drawbacks like reduced power or a lack of weapons.

Rean and Roan, the real ones, used the clones to perfectly match their bodies\' positions before swapping places. That way, the experts outside would think that they had never been actual cultivators to start with. As for their ability to enter the dimensional realm from anywhere, it would continue to be hidden.

"Impossible! How did they do that?"

"I don\'t know. I couldn\'t feel anything strange about their bodies."

"Pass the order. Have everyone look for the twins in the valley. I refuse to believe they\'ve gone too far."

"But we can\'t feel anything from the searching formation."

"The formation isn\'t omnipotent. Just do it."

Without missing a beat, everyone left to fulfill the order, leaving only Xila and Jana behind.

"Xila, did you notice anything?"

Xila shook his head in response.

"Nothing at all. What about you?"

"Me neither. It seems like we really can\'t underestimate the human race."

Xila wanted to disagree, but the facts were in front of him.

"Should we send some people outside the valley to look for them?"

Jana shook her head in response.

"That would turn it even worse. Didn\'t you see how they escaped from the two of us that easily? What could guarantee that someone else can\'t use the same method to reach the ancestor\'s chamber?"

Xila nodded in response. Although they disagreed about whether the twins should be killed or not, the two were still loyal to Ancestor Laro.

"Very well. However, Core and Soul Fusion Realm cultivators and below members wouldn\'t be of much use anyway. I will spread the range of search outside the valley. Also, you wouldn\'t mind if I used a few Nascent Soul members, right? Just this little bit shouldn\'t make any changes. I\'ll keep my word that they won\'t kill the twins and will just capture them."

Jana pondered for a bit and nodded.

"Since you gave your word, then I know you\'ll keep it. You can send a few Nascent Soul Realm members out. However, they can\'t stray too far out from the valley. After all, there are still two Soul Forging Realm human cultivators out there. Of course, you can\'t go out either. I want all our top experts to stay in the valley in case anything happens to the Ancestor."

Xila nodded and immediately departed. Jana then looked at the position Rean and Roan were located a few moments ago and sighed.

\'The past not being what we thought... What if it was true...?\'

Jana also left soon after.
