Death… And Me

Chapter 1364 - Quite A Lot Of People

However, before Roan could leave, the area around them began to tremble once again. Immediately, they looked at Sally, thinking that perhaps another ancient beast had appeared. After all, it wasnʼt the first time they had seen something like that. However, Sally continued to have her eyes closed. It was as if she didnʼt even know what was happening.

Not long after, several rays of white light appeared in the sky, all striking the position where the Fallen Light Star Sphere was a moment ago. Itʼs just that it wasnʼt there anymore. Naturally, it was a very eye-catching event that ended up catching the attention of many cultivators, so they all rushed in the direction of the lights.

Suddenly, a voice echoed through the entire third level. ”Who took away the Light Star Sphere?!” Soon after, the light hitting the position where the sphere was located a moment ago began to take on the lifelike form of a small boy. The boy then looked at Reanʼs group as rage filled his mind. ”How did you manage to take the Light Star Sphere away? No one was supposed to be able to move it at all.”

Rean and Roan didnʼt know anything about that, though. They simply used the Soul Gem System to pull the thing into the Dimensional Realm. Was there supposed to be something holding the sphere in place?

[Ahem... well, uh... there was a very strong resistance around the sphere. Itʼs just that it couldnʼt resist the Soul Gem Systemʼs power, so it was pulled away.] Sister Orb told them.

Rean and Roanʼs mouths twitched in response. Couldnʼt she have told them that ahead of time? ʼYouʼre as useless as always!ʼ

The two didnʼt even have a chance to explain as the little boy began to gather energy to attack. The space around the entire park was quickly restricted, making it extremely difficult for anyone to enter or leave. The two also saw the red color of killing intent filling the entire air around them. However, before the boy could launch its devastating attack, Sally finally opened her eyes.

*Roarrr! Rorrrrr, Rorrrarrr...*

Just like what she did with the second small white dragon, she seemed to be communicating with the small boy in their own language. ”What did you say?” The energy gathering around the boy then disappeared without a trace as he looked at Rean and asked, ”Are you sure?”

*Rrawrrrr, roar, rorrrr, rorrarrrr....*

”So, the second guardian has already confirmed it, huh?” The boy calmed down before saying, ”Rean, is it? Iʼll give the second guardian some face. I donʼt know how you did it, and I wonʼt pursue the matter. All you need to do is place the Light Star Sphere back in its place. Do that, and I wonʼt kill all of you.”

Sally also looked at Rean and nodded in response. It was obvious that this boy was much stronger than Saly, so that was the best she could do for them. She had to protect the twinsʼ group, but she couldnʼt fight against someone like the little boy.

Reanʼs group sighed in relief, though. They didnʼt know what happened, but they definitely wouldnʼt go against the boyʼs words. The only doubt was whether the Soul Gem System would even open. After all, this light boy was definitely as dangerous as he could possibly be. ʼWell, at least the red color of killing intent has disappeared.ʼ

[Itʼs fine. You can send the sphere out.]

Sure enough, the sphere immediately appeared again. Following that, several lines of Divine Energy appeared from all throughout the vicinity, rushing into the Light Star Sphere. It was obvious that the sphere had some extremely important reason to be there in that spot as the entire area seemed to welcome it.

The little boy still had a dark expression on his face, but he nodded nonetheless. ”Sigh... tens of thousands of years of slumber, just for some brats to force me to wake up. How much will it slow down my recovery?”

The boy then looked back at Reanʼs group and told them, ”Now, get out of my sight. You better not touch this or any of the other Light Star Spheres in the area. I absolutely wonʼt give you another chance in life.” After that, the light that kept the little boyʼs form disappeared, and so did the boy. Itʼs just that Hurio felt like the boy looked at him at the last moment with a hint of interest. ʼWhat was that?ʼ He didnʼt tell anyone about it, though.

Rean bitterly smiled and looked at Hurio, telling him, ”It seems like our deal was useless in the end.”

Hurio nodded with a dejected expression. ”Indeed. Here, take the Fallen Light Star Fragments you gave me back.” Because of the Soul Binding Contract, everything had to be shared. Since the previous one was now lost, Hurio had much more than Rean, so he had to follow the contract.

Rean didnʼt reject it, obviously. He also needed them for his breakthrough. ”Ahem... should we talk about what just happened, or do you think itʼs better to ignore it?”

”Ignore it,” Roan said immediately. ”Tens of thousands of years of slumber. Thatʼs what he told us. If thatʼs true, then he has been here longer than the top powers of Lanqueas Continent. Perhaps the entire Lost Star Realm solely exists for that ʼrecoveryʼ he mentioned. Do you really want to meddle with someone like that?”

Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Lilia shook their heads vigorously after that. That little boy gave them a feeling of danger several times greater than the small white dragon in the second level.

Roan then turned around, preparing to leave. Even though they lost the sphere, he still intended to go out and explore the third level, trying to find the Freezing Star Liquid. However, he quickly noticed that they had gotten themselves some company. ”Well, that boyʼs show of power caught a lot of attention, it seems.”

Sure enough, as soon as the little boy left, the spatial power preventing anyone from entering or leaving around the park soon disappeared. That meant everyone who came after that show of lights was finally able to enter it. Jix Organization, Lanqueas Sect, Didatido Sect, Croste Clan, Krui Clan, Dragon Tail Brotherhood, etc. There were also cultivators who werenʼt part of the top ten that were here to look for treasures. ”Thatʼs quite a lot of people....” Rean couldnʼt help but let out a sigh.
