Death… And Me

Chapter 3131  You Tell Me

"Well, time to leave." Rean immediately turned around, flying away.

Popon and the others quickly followed him. They flew in the middle of millions of other cultivators fleeing the city.

Popon glanced behind and couldn't help but ask. "Why are we running?"

Rean pointed back. "Why do you think the explosion of the volcano didn't destroy the entire city? That's because the Inquisition Hall wouldn't allow it to happen. They couldn't stop the explosion since it was too strong, but if they acted a few kilometers away, the power would diminish greatly. That means the Transition Realm experts of the planet could join forces to stop the explosion from spreading further."

Popon understood. "The Cult of the Blood God..."

"Exactly," Rean continued. "Not only them. There were branches of other big powers of the planet in this city, so they definitely had some of their own Transition Realm experts positioned here. They are joining together to prevent the explosion from destroying more of the city, but once it starts to calm down, they will start asking questions. Chances are low, but I would rather not be here if they somehow figure it was us who made it happen."

Neither Popon nor the others had any complaints regarding Rean's methods. They had been running for so long, and being careful was the reason that the Inquisition Hall still hadn't caught them. Besides... They all looked behind as the city got further and further away. They all had excited expressions. They truly managed to destroy the Inquisition Forging Hall! Just how satisfying was that? They were idiots. They were aware that destroying that place meant nothing to a behemoth like the Werdlem Empire. Nonetheless, it sure felt great to get back at them at least once in their lives.

Rean's group continued to fly away, and eventually, the cultivators that also flew in the same direction dispersed little by little. When they got alone, Rean and Popon's group found a corner to land and discuss the next steps.

"Well... I guess this is it for us," Rean commented. "I hope you guys liked our little time together."

Veclis looked at Rean and then at his bracelet. "What about these?"

Rean shook his head in response. "The Inquisition Hall will absolutely investigate the causes behind this event. If anything, they will be many times more active against Fake Werdlem Stone users like us. It won't take long for them to start investigating everyone in the Inquisition Forging Hall, and our sudden appearance and disappearance will definitely raise some eyebrows. You can not use your fake identities anymore. If you do, you would basically be leading the Inquisition Hall experts straight at you."

Rean shook his head in response. "The Inquisition Hall will absolutely investigate the causes behind this event. If anything, they will be many times more active against Fake Werdlem Stone users like us. It won't take long for them to start investigating everyone in the Inquisition Forging Hall, and our sudden appearance and disappearance will definitely raise some eyebrows. You can not use your fake identities anymore. If you do, you would basically be leading the Inquisition Hall experts straight at you."

Cavacla opened the slot where the Werdlem Stone was and pulled it out without thinking twice. "Then I don't want this. But... Rean, can we get another Werdlem Stone and reuse the Werdlem Network with the CDs again? We would have different identities if we did that, right?"

Rean knew it was a bad idea. "No, you better forget about the bracelets for the time being. I told you, these bracelets are nothing but prototypes. I was confident it could fake your identity for a while, but I can't guarantee it will last long. As I mentioned, our actions just now definitely caught a lot of attention. You can believe me or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if the next time you try to use the bracelet to pretend to be someone, the Werdlem Empire will already have a counter for it. Of course, if you want to try, that's your problem. I, as the creator of the bracelets, will not try it, though."

Rean wasn't lying there. He was very good at Circuitry Formations, and he had Sister Orb and the system's help. However, were they truly better than the Werdlem Empire itself? Rean was pretty sure the technology of the Werdlem Empire, especially in higher realms, surpassed his own. He couldn't guarantee the bracelets would work for long for real. The bracelets were not the system, after all. Popon took out his bracelet, looking at it with a sad expression. "It was fun while it lasted. Do you want them back?"

Rean had no use for them at the moment, so he refused. "No need. I will probably think of a better version eventually. You guys should still keep your bracelets. Perhaps it might be of some help to you in the future. Just make sure the next time you use them, you use a completely different Werdlem Stone. Well, the best option would be for you guys to never use it again due to the danger of doing so."

Popon and the others accepted Rean's words and put their bracelets away. By the way, Rean. What do you plan to do now? If you are thinking about destroying another one of the main locations of the Inquisition Hall, we are definitely up for it."

"Hahaha!" Kentucky laughed when he heard that. "You guys must be crazy. After today, the security of all Inquisition hall facilities will definitely ramp up many times. There is no way we can get close to another one that easily."

Rean agreed with Kentucky. "He is right. Besides, our trump card was the volcano itself. We used it to destroy the Inquisition Forging Hall. There will be more volcanoes for us to use in the other locations. Not to mention, I know nothing about them. The Inquisition Forging Hall was the only facility of the Inquisition Hall that accepted outsiders due to its nature. Everything else is different. Just take this small victory and hold to it for now. Perhaps one day, I will call you guys again."

18:11

No one was disappointed. They did more than they ever thought to be able to. As to how Rean managed to pull it off, that didn't matter. "Thank you."

Rean smiled, bowing at the group. "Those are my words. Without you, this wouldn't have been possible. I also thank you. And with this, I also bid you farewell."

Rean turned around with Kentucky right after. "Until some other day, friends."

Before Popon or the others could say anything, Rean and Kentucky shot into the distance. No one followed them.

Rean and Kentucky flew for a while until they were sure no one was following them. Only then did they enter the Celestial Soul Dimensional Realm again. There, Roan was standing by Tanxan's side. "How is it?"

"You tell me," Roan spoke, looking at the Blob of Green Jelly. Since Roan brought him inside, Tanxan hasn't moved at all.
