Death… And Me

Chapter 2400 Found you

The group moved relatively fast, although they did their best to cause the least amount of disturbance. They passed by several devils and even near one of the nearby living soul farms. Rean had to admit he had the urge to go there and see if he could help those locked inside. However, reason told him he shouldnʼt make any harsh move at the moment. 

They continued like that for over half a day until finally, they arrived at a grassland with just a few small hills. Green could be seen everywhere as this place seemed to not be affected too much by the Devilish Energy of the Devils. 

Nolui stopped for a moment after getting to that place, seeming to be checking something. ”Letʼs wait here.”

”Why?” Kanglai asked back straight away. 

Nolui smiled. ”Did you forget? We have one last friend to join our group.”

Only then did everyone remember that Kinglei was coming as well. From the looks of it, this place would be their meeting point. There, they stayed for a few more hours, which was strange. Back when Kinglei left, he hadnʼt done so for long. He was supposed to have caught up to them by now if the location given to him was right.

Suddenly, a black spot appeared near them, which startled the cultivators for a moment. However, they understood that it must be Kinglei and that he was using some technique to hide himself, too. Not too long after, he entered Noluiʼs Treasure Range that protected against Divine Senses.

”So... you were that idiot who was captured, uh?” Kinglei, as always, didnʼt seem to care about respect at all.

Nolui didnʼt seem to care either, keeping a smile on his face. ”Thatʼs me indeed. Have you already been briefed about the contents of this mission?”

Kinglei nodded. ”Yes. The old geezers even paid me in advance, so I had to come. I have a reputation to maintain, after all. As long as I receive a payment to my satisfaction, I will do anything.”

”Good!” Nolui was happy with that. ”We arenʼt very far from the entrance, and we donʼt know where it will bring us, so you better be ready.”

As long as it was within this Universe, Kinglei was confident he could return to the Realm of Gods, so he didnʼt care too much about where he would end up. Besides, he had got involved with the Vruves in the past and was one of the few cultivators who didnʼt care about them.

Kinglei then spoke. ”Alright, letʼs not waste each otherʼs time. Just bring us to wherever this path is located.”

”Sure thing. We are close already anyway.” Nolui nodded. 

It was then that another voice echoed. ”Oh! Are we close? Thatʼs good to know.”

Everyoneʼs expression immediately changed as they looked in the direction of the voice. There, a Spatial Gate suddenly opened, revealing an old man wearing a silver robe. Behind him, several more experts came out, all wearing similar clothes.

Nolui knew who that man was. He just happened to be one of the experts that pursued him back when he tried to escape. ”Careful! Thatʼs Grovan from the Vruve Organization!”

Kinglei looked at the guy, and the confidence on his face disappeared. He was proud of his combat power, but he could tell that the old man wasnʼt any worse than himself. ”Hehe! Seems like we already got some company.”

Grovan ignored Kinglei, though. His eyes were completely fixed on Nolui. ”What about you just surrender and save everyoneʼs time. Donʼt worry. We can let you live by the end. Itʼs just that we will get rid of the rest here and-”

Yet, before he could finish his words, his eyes showed some surprise as his body quickly vanished from the spot. A fraction of a second later, a spear energy came out of space, piercing through the spot Grovan had just left.

Space broke apart, and spatial rifts appeared for a moment, showing the power of that spear energy. If just the spear energy was that strong, how much stronger was the spear itself?

Grovanʼs confidence also disappeared from his face as he looked back at Kinglei. He was close enough to tell that Kinglei was in the same realm as himself, Peak Space-Time. Yet, he didnʼt expect Kinglei to be able to display such strength with a single attack, and that was obviously just a provocation. ”Boy, taking into consideration your strength, Iʼll let it slide and allow you to leave. This is the first and last warning, fuck off.”

Kinglei snorted in response. When Grovan ignored his existence, it obviously made Kinglei a little dissatisfied. Besides, he already got the payment, so he couldnʼt retreat now. ”Old geezer, do you have what it takes to demand such a thing? Letʼs find it out.”

Since the battle was unavoidable, Kinglei didnʼt waste time and went straight for the strongest enemy, Grovan. 

Kanglia looked at that and was quite surprised. The power Kinglei showed just now was definitely higher than the one he showed in the fortress. ʼThis fucker was holding back during the mission...ʼ

Yet, she didnʼt have time to think too much about it. Grovan wasnʼt the only enemy there. He had brought quite a few experts as well, and Space-Time Realm ones were definitely part of it.

Nolui, on the other hand, was already fighting another member of the Vruve Organization. 

*Bang, bang, bang!*

”Dengais, right? Since you found me, I might as well pay back the injuries you caused me during our first encounter.” Back when he was running, Dengais ambushed him once, making Nolui almost lose his life. Fortunately, the Vruves wanted him alive, so Dengais held back. It was only thanks to that that he escaped. 

”Hmph! Just because you brought a few ants, you think you have the power to contend against the Vruve Organization?” Dengais asked. ”You must be quite blind. Your side has three Space-Time Realm experts while ours... has five!”

*Arrrrrghhhh!!!*

Yet, Dengaisʼ expression immediately changed as he looked in a certain direction. There, he saw a cultivator holding a black sword... and that black sword was pierced through the heart of one of the Space-Time Realm experts he had just mentioned!
