Death… And Me

Chapter 3209: He Will Comply

Diliyʼs case would be dealt with beforehand, even before taking the pills. Thatʼs because Rean was confident he could put an end to it pretty fast if he could lure Diliy to his trap. And, with Folianaʼs help, that shouldnʼt be too much of an issue.

Arriving in the country where Foliana is waiting, Rean didnʼt first check the terrain and selected the best place to build a formation. He worked fast, and Zangeshuʼs help and precision made it even easier. Soon, a three-layered formation gained form in a mountain range just a few thousand kilometers from the Inquisition Hall Headquarters.

Rean selected this place because the concentration of Spiritual Energy here was quite good. Besides, this was a Demon Beast territory, which Rean made sure not to disturb. The Demon Beasts continued to move around as if nothing was happening, and that would put Diliyʼs mind at ease when getting to this place.

ʼSister Orb,ʼ Rean contacted the Dimensional Realm. ʼJust check me one more time. I shouldnʼt have Diliyʼs Sword Intent on me anymore, but I canʼt risk having missed something.ʼ

[Donʼt worry,] Sister Orb quickly spoke. [After you and Roan learned the Fifth Stage of Weapon Intents, I recorded everything in the system. There is no way Diliyʼs Sword Intent is still present in your body. You can go ahead and call him.]

ʼGood!ʼ Rean nodded, satisfied.

Zangeshu got to Reanʼs side sometime later. ”I finished setting the runes under the Spirit Vein. Will it be enough to hold a Transition Realm expert? The concentration of Spiritual Energy is good, but nothing strong enough to really cause trouble for an expert like that.”

”Itʼs fine, itʼs fine.” Rean wasnʼt worried. ”The formationʼs main use is to make sure he canʼt leave this place, nor can he contact the Inquisition Hall.”

”What if the Inquisition Hall comes after us while we are trying to subdue him?” Zageshu asked.

”Thatʼs why I had Roan exit the Dimensional Realm on the neighbor country,” Rean explained. ”His Dimensional Realm exit is set there now. If necessary, we can all enter the Dimensional Realm and then exit by his side far away from here- ”

”Hum?” It was then that Rean had an idea. ”Right! Why didnʼt I think about it? Letʼs see... with the speed of a Transition Realm expert flying without holding back, it should take at least a few tens of minutes...”

Reanʼs eyes lit up, and he contacted Roan in the Dimensional Realm. ʼRoan, I need you to come out and go somewhere near the Inquisition Hall Detention Center.ʼ

Roan only had to hear those words to understand Reanʼs idea. ʼYou wonʼt stop Diliyʼs communication with the Inquisition Hall. Instead, you will let him call for help and lure the experts from the headquarters, including those in the Detention Center. Then, you will come inside the Dimensional Realm and will leave it just by the Detention Centerʼs side, is it?ʼ ʼThatʼs the idea,ʼ Rean nodded.

ʼTerrible idea, forget it,ʼ Roan refused in the end.

ʼEh?! Why?!ʼ Rean was taken aback.

Roan snorted in response. ʼHmph! You are luring experts of the headquarters when we are so close to the Divine Werdlem Stone competition? Ridiculous! The Inquisition Hall would, at most, send a few experts to check, but, at the same time, they would increase their defenses to the maximum back in the Detention Center and the Headquarters. At least, thatʼs what I definitely would do. If you let Diliy contact others, you will be pretty much condemning Karevʼs brother to be locked there forever.ʼ

ʼI see...ʼ Rean had to admit Roan made sense.

ʼBesides, even if you could lure a lot of experts out, that plan of yours relies on us entering the Detention Center without consuming our Void Shattering Pills to make use of this lack of experts. It is absolutely not worth the risks,ʼ Roan concluded.

ʼFine!ʼ Rean gave up the idea completely. ʼLetʼs stick with the Void Shattering Pills plan then.ʼ

”Zangeshu,” Rean talked to his disciple on the side. ”Iʼll activate the concealing formation. Check the runes and see if they are blending correctly with the environment.”

”On it.” Zangeshu quickly left and positioned himself.

Finally, Rean activated the Three-layered formation. First, it created a protection barrier that didnʼt work on the Demon Beasts of the area. Second, it blocked all signals coming from the Werdlem Empire System, using the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm blockage as a model for the runes. Last but not least, all the runes disappeared without a trace, and the mountain range seemed as calm as ever.

ʼI can confirm here that all runes are in place and blending correctly,ʼ Zangeshu spoke from afar with his Spiritual Sense. He seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit. This was a different formation from the ones he learned, using Reanʼs teaching with Circuitry Formations instead to build it.

Rean took to the skies and looked down, nodding in satisfaction. ”This is indeed a good place. Well, letʼs make our call. Karev is arriving tomorrow, so we need to get this over with today.” He took out his CD, contacting Foliana straight away. ”Yo! I will pass you the location. Try to bring Diliy here.”

-What do I tell him? - Foliana asked.

”Hum...” Rean pondered a bit and immediately had an idea. ”You are still using Dual Blades, right?”

-Of course! - Foliana took out the Dual Blades that Rean forged for her back then. He had made one pair for each cultivation level all the way to the Transition Realm, and that pair Foliana had in her hands was exactly the Transition Realm one. On top of that, she never managed to find any weapon that could surpass this pair from Rean.

”Good! How is your Blade Intent? I refuse to believe you havenʼt learned it.” Rean asked again.

-Hehe! - Foliana didnʼt hide. -I did, indeed. Of course, not the Fifth Stage. However, I learned the Fourth Stage over a hundred years ago. I have been stuck on the Fourth Stage ever since.-

Rean knew that Diliy would be interested in it. ”Good! Then just call him to help you with your personal training. If you are asking him about Intents, Iʼm pretty sure he will comply.”
