Death… And Me

Chapter 3204: Not A Good Idea

Rean put his sword back in the Dimensional Realm after that answer. ”That brings me to my second reason to be here. Tomoe, you took my parents away before the Inquisition Hall went after them, and you did a great job of not leaving any tracks behind.”

”I talked a lot to Clansto and Tiaba, and they told me how you prohibited Clansto from using his Werdlem Stone so he wouldnʼt be found. That was a great decision, too. Not to mention that you went out there and found a Werdlem Stone for Tiaba to merge with. Well, that part was probably a lot easier since it shouldnʼt be a problem for you to get a normal Werdlem Stone with your cultivation back then.”

Rean sat again, looking deeply at her. ”So, hereʼs the deal. For everything you have done, especially since it seems like you took care of those two for me for this long, Iʼm willing to bring you out with me. Iʼm going to the Divine Realm. Do you want to come?”

Tomoe took a deep breath. Divine Realm... that was the dream of all cultivators, and it wasnʼt different for a Sword Cultivator like her. Transition Realm Experts would be willing to sacrifice everything and everyone if that meant they could go there. However...

”I must refuse,” Tomoe couldnʼt accept in the end. ”After I formed this sect, I brought many girls under my wings. I taught them my own school of swords, the Yin Yang Sword. If I leave now, I would be giving up on them, who believed in me to lead this place.”

”I see...” Rean faintly smiled, but he did not force the issue. She was already way over four hundred years old. No doubt she could make her own decisions. ”Then I hope my predictions regarding the future of this planet are wrong. Who knows? Perhaps the Inquisition Hall will gather everyone on this planet but only use the Spiritual Energy in their Dantians and Cores without killing anyone.”

Tomoe smiled as well, although she didnʼt seem that confident. In fact, even Rean didnʼt. ”Yes, perhaps you are right, Rean.”

Rean wouldnʼt bring everyone to the Divine Realm. The idea of having to take care of an entire sect again was completely out of Rean and Roanʼs plans. Letʼs not forget that the twins didnʼt intend to take any disciples from the very start, and Zangeshu ended up as an exception due to his amazing skill in formations. As for Rifindio, he obviously had his connection with the Universe Owner that the twins were interested in. Last but not least, Karev and Foliana wouldnʼt stick to the twins. Once in the Divine Realm, both of them would go their own ways as they had their own futures.

”TO HELL WITH THAT!” Yet, it was at this moment that Dixia slammed her feet on the ground, catching everyoneʼs attention.

”Dixia, what is the-” Tomoe was just about to ask, but...

*Grab!*

Dixia grabbed both sides of Tomoeʼs cheeks, looking at her with anger. ”Master, you absolutely must not stay! Leave! Immediately! DO NOT LOOK BEHIND!”

”Dixia...” Tomoe was shocked.

Dixia continued. ”You helped so many of us; most of our girls didnʼt even join through the normal methods. It was you and the other girls who found our disciples, especially those in poor conditions and brought them here. Our lives have been better than we could ever hope for! Now, there is a chance for master to save herself and go to the Divine Realm. Yet, you want to stay because of us? Do you have any idea how that makes us feel? Iʼll tell you how it does, unbearable guilt! I, and many of our girls, would probably kill themselves if we knew that you were staying behind because of us.”

Tomoe didnʼt have words to express her feelings.

Dixia, however, still had more to say. She let Tomoeʼs cheeks go and smiled in the end. ”Donʼt worry. We can take care of ourselves. You taught all of us well, and we have plenty of ʼslavesʼ willing to die for us because of what we have between our legs. As you always say, use everything you can use.”

Rean, Kentucky, and Rifindio looked away. It was obvious Dixia was talking about all the men back in the city, and from what they had seen so far, she wasnʼt that distant from the truth.

Tomoe still didnʼt want to go, though. ”But...”

Dixia took out her CD, quickly opening all the important disciples and elders numbers she had in there. ”If you donʼt go, I will tell everyone that you fell into a position where if you donʼt leave, you will die, but you wonʼt leave because of us. Letʼs see what will happen.”

Rean quite liked the girlʼs approach. She wouldnʼt tell them what she heard her, but she would make it clear that it was serious enough for them to care. He couldnʼt allow her to tell the truth, after all.

Rifindio, on the other hand, was impressed about how far Dixia was willing to go to convince Tomoe to leave. She wasnʼt even asking to be brought along. She just wanted Tomoe to live.

ʼIs it truly a bad thing to just trust someone?ʼ Those words echoed in Rifindioʼs mind again, but it wasnʼt Rean who said it. It was Rifindio himself to was thinking about each word. ”Tomoe,” Rean finally spoke. ”I donʼt think you have much of a choice here.” Tomoe sighed, putting her hand over her face. ”Dixia... Iʼm the Sect Master, you know? We also have three men in my room. Is that how you treat me in front of them?”

”Ah!” Dixia quickly bowed. ”Iʼm sorry, Master. Dixia recognizes her mistake... but I wonʼt take back what I said.”

Tomoe patted her head, something she wasnʼt very used to doing. ”I understand. Gather everyone in the meeting hall. I will tell them that Iʼm leaving.”

”Yes, Master!” Dixia answered happily.

Too bad Rean intervened. ”I donʼt think that is a good idea.”
