Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1531 - Not Only That

The twins didn't really mind and returned to the Tranqio Sect with Ormo. Ormo wanted them to take part in the banquet. After all, they acquired an extra six kilometers of territory in this tube-like world. However, the twins refused and went back to their rooms instead. Of course, Celis followed them now that they were free.

"So, have you decided when we're heading out?" Celis asked. "Perhaps it would be a good idea to wait until you have recovered your Nascent Souls."

However, Rean shook his head in response. "I'm worried about what happened to Rafatia and Falangia."

"There's no need to be," Roan told him. "Falangia, although weak, was a seasoned cultivator. She saw the truth of the cultivation world and survived it. Don't take her for a greenhorn cultivator, Rean. We told her that we might not come back, and she's fully aware of that. After five years, it would be idiotic to think that she didn't get out of the city on her own with Rafatia."

Hearing that, Rean had to admit Roan was right. Falangia was indeed a lot more experienced than the majority at her age. "That's true. At the moment, our full strength would allow us to fight at the level of someone at the Initial Stage of Saint Realm, perhaps even Middle Stage. Maybe it's a good idea to wait for our Nascent Souls to recover."

However, Kentucky, who was watching from the Dimensional Realm, didn't think it was a good idea. 'After the show of power you guys showed in that competition, don't you think it would be risky for you to stay here? Anyone who chooses you to take part in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm would obtain an almost guaranteed victory. I'm pretty sure some people from other powers will come after the Tranquio Sect Master to talk about you two.'

However, Roan shook his head, dispelling his worries as he said, "There's no need to worry, Kentucky. After today, we won't be able to take part in any challenges anymore."

This time, Rean, Celis, Kentucky, and even Sister Orb was taken aback. "How come you know that?"

Roan faintly smiled in response, telling them, "Just wait for that old woman from the purging organization to come look for us. If I'm not wrong, you'll understand after that."

Rean and Celis looked at each other after that. "Well, if you say so. That'll be for the best."

As the twins waited in their room in the Tranquio Sect, Himatikia received a visit. She was still watching the contest between the Hura Clan and Crita Organization but spared a bit of attention to the subordinate that had just arrived. "You came faster than I thought. So, what did they say?"

The subordinate bowed and used a Divine Sense message to pass the purging organization's orders. After hearing it, Himatikia's expression slightly changed as she thought, 'What would someone like him want with those twins?' However, she quickly recovered and nodded at the messenger, saying, "Alright, I understand. Tell them I'll pass the message on."

Surprisingly, the Crita Organization didn't win three of the first four contests, even though they had the advantage in terms of disciples. In the end, the decision was carried out on the last test, which was selected by the judges instead of the two powers.

Not too long after, the Crita Organization left with the Hura Clan. Crita Organization was still the winner, though. With that, not only did the Hura Clan lose six kilometers of territory to the Tranquio Sect, they lost three more kilometers to the Crita Organization.

Then again, Himatikia couldn't care less about all of that. She just wanted to head to the Tranquio Sect to talk with the twins. Fortunately, it was very close, so she arrived there in just a minute.

Ormo noticed her presence and immediately called her over. "Elder Himatikia! So you came for our banquet! Come, come, join us at the table."

Himatikia shook her head after hearing that, saying, "Sorry, but I only passed by to talk with those twins of yours. Can you tell me where they are?"

Ormo was surprised to hear that. "Oh! So that's how it is. Sure, leave it to me then." Ormo then called Glasita as she was the one who treated them when they were statues. "Glasita, the twins are in their room, right? Please bring Elder Himatikia to see them."

Naturally, Glasita immediately accepted the order. "Yes, Sect Master."

Not too long after, they arrived at the twins' room. Well, the twins were already waiting for her anyway. "Come in. We were waiting for you."

Glasita then bowed and left Himatikia and the twins alone.

Himatikia obviously noticed Celis there, though. "Can we talk in private?"

Rean shook his head in response, saying, "Don't worry, Celis is with us."

Celis nodded at Himatikia, telling her, "There's nothing to worry about with me here."

Himatikia was surprised that Celis could talk, though. Celis was at the peak of Stage Eight. However, only those in the Transition Realm could talk. "How come you have sentience already?"New chapters are published on ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.net

Celis, obviously, already had an excuse for that. Well, not really an excuse since it was the truth. "That's because I was in the Transition Realm before. Because of a few issues, my cultivation dropped. As you can imagine, even though my cultivation was affected, my sentience was left intact."

"I see..." Himatikia had to admit it made sense. "Alright then, let's get into the main topic."

Roan then glanced at the old woman, saying, "You came to tell us we can't participate in any struggles for territories anymore, right?"

Himatikia was taken aback to hear that. "How did you know?"

"Because our strength would affect the balance if we suddenly decided to sell our services to other powers," Roan said in response.

Rean and Celis finally understood the reason as they thought, 'So that's why!' Of course, they didn't say that out loud.

Himatikia took a deep breath and nodded in response. "Yes, I came here to tell you that we can't allow you to take part in other power struggles. However, that isn't all. There's also someone who wants to see you two. It's our purging organization's Grand Elder, Levid."

*Pin!*

Suddenly, the twins heard a sound from the Soul Gem System go off in their heads.
