Death… And Me

Chapter 842 - Feel Weird

With the help of Reanʼs Light Element, he protected Malakaʼs child while Roan made sure that those two wouldnʼt do something that idiotic again. By the time the sect members finished organizing all their things, those two were more or less half dead. Of course, anyone who saw Malaka and Agisʼs state immediately had the same idea, thinking to themselves, ʼThey definitely pissed Elder Roan off.ʼ

Rean pretended he didnʼt see anything, though. Instead, he went to talk with Malo and the others, asking them, ”So, how is it? Are you all ready?”

Malo nodded, saying, ”Yes. We didnʼt have many things to start with, so it didnʼt take that long to prepare.” It was then that Malo remembered something. ”By the way, where exactly will we build our Freedom Sect in Wringan Continent?” Naturally, that was a very important point since it directly affected the sectʼs future.

Rean then threw a jade slip to Malo, telling him, ”Take a look at the map. I already asked Celis where the best places in that region are located. Since Celis swallowed all the Spiritual Energy of the planet in the past, he knows all of the places where Spiritual Energy is most concentrated.”

”Thatʼs great!” Malo was happy to hear that as he looked at the jade slip. However, he quickly noticed that the place Rean and Celis selected wasnʼt on the mainland. Instead, it was an island on the north side. It wasnʼt a small island, but one couldnʼt say it was enormous either. Well, it wasnʼt big if one considered the size of the planet. If this island was on Earth, it would definitely be another story.

The island was 110 kilometers in radius, which was more than enough space for the sect to expand tenfold in terms of disciples. At the very center, there was one huge peak, which was covered in snow on the top. The peak was also surrounded by a forest, which was a rare sight on this planet. One must remember that the world was covered in snow for a very long time, so any surviving vegetation was hard to find, let alone a forest.

”This...” Malo couldnʼt help but ask, ”Isnʼt it too risky to build the sect here? The north side of the continent is the closest part to the Zasfinsʼ territories. Also, it would be somewhat difficult to assign missions for our sect members if the areas of work are too far away.”

Rean smiled in response, saying, ”The distance is also part of the deal. First, we donʼt want the sect members to relax just because theyʼre in the Wringan Continent. Due to how close it is to the Zasfinsʼ continent on the north side, they might try something against us.”

”Second, missions donʼt necessarily need to be in the Wringan Continent. In fact, other than the Zasfin Continent on the north, we have Demon Beast Continents on the left and east sides. If you only think about Wringan, then sure, itʼs a bad position. But when you think about these four other continents, then you couldnʼt ask for a better spot.”

”Third, the fact that itʼs located on an island makes it a lot easier to protect. With the right set of formations, itʼll be very hard for any Zasfin force to enter without being noticed. It will be easier for them to reach the sect but harder to conquer it.”

Malo finally understood Rean and Roanʼs plan. They werenʼt thinking about the time the humans would have to develop freely. They were already thinking about the future when the protection of the demon beasts was gone.

Sometime later, Fizer appeared beside Malo. He was listening to the entire conversation. Well, Rean already knew it since he could feel Fizerʼs strong life force and Spiritual Sense. Fizer then patted Maloʼs shoulder before saying, ”The Freedom Sect will most likely become the strongest force of the human race in the future. The fact that itʼs located in the north also means that it could become the first line of defense of the continent in case the Zasfins attack. I quite like it that way.”

Malo could only nod in the end, saying in response, ”I understand. In that case, Iʼll have the sect members fill the airship for the move.”

”Oh, right!” Fizer remembered something after Malo said those words. ”A friend of mine should arrive soon. She also has an airship capable of traveling at Saint Realm speed, so it should help with your work.”

”A friend?” Rean and Maloʼs interests were piqued.

Fizer nodded and continued, ”Did you forget what I said before? This sect is mostly filled with women, so it would be better to have a woman help guide them. Sheʼs already at the Late Stage of the Saint Realm, and she fought with me during the war under Darianʼs army. Iʼve known her for quite a few centuries, so I can guarantee that she can be trusted.”

Rean was obviously delighted to hear that. That had always been an issue in the sect. Roan was obviously the best at Yin Energy, but the fact that he was a man had always left some space for improvement in training the sectʼs female disciples. Malaka, for example, was taken as a disciple by the Dalamu Sect Master. That showed how even Roan admitted that some points were hard for him to understand due to the difference in gender. He had already accepted that a long time ago.

”Thatʼs great, Senior Fizer. We were really lacking someone like that,” Rean said with a smile. ”However, are you sure sheʼll accept staying in the sect? Our sect is new, so we donʼt really have anything we can pay for her services.” Rean could obviously forge some Heaven-level equipment, but he didnʼt want to be the reason for their decision. If Fizer and the others could convince her on their own, then he wouldnʼt mind doing it later.

Fizer didnʼt seem to be panicking, though. ”Donʼt worry. Sheʼll stay. In fact, I doubt sheʼd even leave unless I kick her out. She loves women, after all.”

Somehow, the way Fizer put it made Rean and Malo feel like something was wrong with his friend.
