Death… And Me

Chapter 1328 - The Ragdoll

Rean couldnʼt help but comment, ”Is there such a rule? Why would the Lanqueas Sect even bother to follow that? Arenʼt they the controlling power of the Lanqueas Continent?”

Hurio nodded, saying, ”They are, but they arenʼt as omnipotent as you think. If the other nine powers suddenly decide to band together, they could totally contend against the Lanqueas Sect. Whether the Lanqueas Sect wishes it or not, they also have to consider the othersʼ opinions. This isnʼt the only place where such rules exist.”

After that, Rean and Roan now had a better understanding of the Lanqueas Continent with that. Back in the Huring Continent, the Huring Sacred Land had to hear the other powers a little. However, they absolutely made all the rules. If something didnʼt go as the other major powers wanted, the Huring Sacred Land wouldnʼt care that much as they were still stronger than all others together. In a certain way, they only listened to the others somewhat to keep a modicum of harmony among them.

Rean then looked at those who didnʼt have the clothing or the badges of the top ten powers. ”Are they part of the big powers as well?”

Hurio shook his head, saying, ”I do recognize some of them as they have some influence. However, the majority down there are most likely common cultivators, not being part of any of the big powers at all.”

The twins nodded after that. ”Well, this is a good opportunity for us to head down and check just whatʼs happening in the Lost Star Realm.”

However, Hurio didnʼt seem very willing to do so, saying after an awkward chuckle, ”Errr... leave me somewhere nearby, and Iʼll watch you from a distance. Some people there would recognize me, and I would rather not have them know Iʼm here.”

Well, Rean and Roan didnʼt really have a reason to pry into Hurioʼs secrets, so they asked Kentucky to do what Hurio said. However, just as Kentucky was about to go down, an angry voice echoed throughout their surroundings. ”Hurio, you fucking idiot. Didnʼt the elders tell you not to come here?!”

”Shit!” Hurioʼs complexion immediately changed before he jumped from Kentuckyʼs back and tried to run away. One must remember that no one could fly more than twenty meters in the air. That being said, it was an easy feat for Hurio to descend with his cultivation. Such an altitude wouldnʼt hurt him at all.

As soon as he touched the ground, he activated his elemental movement skills and dashed into the distance. However, a flash of blue light passed by the place he had just been a second ago, several times faster than Hurio could hope to be.

Rean and Roan didnʼt try to help him at all. Just from the speed of the person who passed by them, they knew they werenʼt that personʼs match at all. Instead, they just curiously looked in the distance as that flash of blue light caught up to Hurio.

”Wait, sister! I can explain!”

”Explain your head!”

*Boom!*

*Bang!*

*Crash!*

*Arrrgh!*

Poor Hurio was beaten black and blue without mercy, much to Rean and Kentuckyʼs amusement. They knew that the woman wasnʼt trying to kill Hurio or anything like that. However, she was making the punishment as painful as possible for Hurio.

Eventually, Hurio lost all ability to defend before the woman grabbed him by the collar, beginning to fly back to the place where the cultivators were gathered.

But even then, Rean and Roan couldnʼt recognize her. She didnʼt wear any of the top ten powersʼ uniforms or badges. If anything, she was dressed in slightly casual clothes. Well, they also couldnʼt tell which power Hurio was from either, so it made sense nevertheless.

Rean and Roan didnʼt do anything while the woman passed by them. However, she suddenly stopped and looked at the twins, asking, ”Was it you who brought this idiot here?”

Rean and Roan looked at each other, and Roan just left it for Rean to explain. ”Well, we did form a group to explore the depths of the Lost Star Realm. However, the first time we met was in Grinha City, so we know nothing about you or him. Was it a problem for him to come to this place? He has the same cultivation as us, so I donʼt see the issue.”

”Hmph!” The woman snorted in response. ”It doesnʼt seem like youʼre lying, so I wonʼt say anything. Did he tell you two what he was here for?”

Rean nodded in response, deciding to tell the truth as he replied, ”Heʼs looking for the same thing as us, Fallen Light Star Fragments. Since we both have detection methods for these fragments, we decided to join forces to increase our chances of finding them. We signed Soul Binding Contracts stating that we would share it 50/50.”

The woman was surprised to hear that. However, her expression went dark right after. ”Who are you? How come you can detect Fallen Light Star Fragments? As far as I know, you were sent here to deal with our people, so you better be careful with your answer.”

Rean kept calm as he explained, ”My name is Rean, a vagrant cultivator.” He then used his ability to gather Light Element before continuing, ”As you can see, I have Light Element Affinity, so these Fallen Light Star Fragments are very important to me. You definitely can feel my cultivation with your Divine Sense. With that said, it should be no surprise that I need Light Element Materials to enter the Elemental Transformation Realm. A lot of things happened, and eventually, we arrived in this situation.” Odd elements had never been that rare in the Realm of Gods. Hurio was a very good example, so Rean didnʼt mind telling the truth.

Hearing that, the womanʼs complexion eased a bit. Indeed, with Reanʼs Peak Stage Saint Realm cultivation and the need for Light Element Materials, it totally made sense for him to be here. ”So thatʼs how it is.”

Hurio, who still looked like a dead corpse, also confirmed Reanʼs words, saying, ”We signed the Soul Binding Contract, sister, so theyʼre fine.”

”Shut up!” The woman was still enraged to see that Hurio appeared in this place. After that, she looked back at the twins before saying, ”Come with me for now. Iʼm sure youʼre curious as to whatʼs happening here anyway.”

Sure enough, the twins nodded in response and asked Kentucky to follow the woman and the ragdoll around her arms.
