Death… And Me Chapter 1269 - Just In Case

Chapter 1269 - Just In Case

Of course, before that, Rean and Roan headed to the Lukimira Sect to grab Celis. Celis didn't seem very happy with the sudden visit as he wanted to stay still and just cultivate. "I already spread my roots out quite thoroughly, you know?"
Rean shrugged his shoulders, telling him, "But if you don't come, Kentucky won't be able to use the nest on you anymore. We both know that the connection between you two is what makes your cultivation quicker, right?"
Celis couldn't help but ask, "Just leave him here with me. You can come back some other time to take us."
The twins shook their heads before using a Divine Sense message to explain the situation. Only then did Celis give up, letting out a sigh as he said, "I see... it seems like there's no choice but to leave then."
Celis then left Lukimira Sect with the twins without anyone noticing. That's because he had long created a place for himself to stay there, where no one bothered him. It wouldn't be before a few days that someone would come by and find out that Celis was gone.
Naturally, the twins also sent Celis into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, who was delighted to see a lot of Rank Three Divine Stones. Kentucky was also happy to be able to use his nest again. With that, the bird and tree began to cultivate while the twins traveled.
The twins had more than enough to pay for teleportation, even without using the Sacred Land's token. With that, they arrived at Fovles Country without leaving any trace behind. Of course, Etherian knew that they would come here sooner or later, but he was the one who gave Rean and Roan the information, so it didn't matter.
After arriving in Fovles Country, the twins went to Yangxi City. Or, to be more precise, the Rockfoi Treasure Store, located there. According to Etherian's information, they had to find the store's owner, Jalel, and give him the secret message.
The Rockfoi Treasure Store was very small, practically hidden in the corner of the city. Rean and Roan even had some difficulty finding its location. In any case, it made sense that it didn't attract too much attention. Once inside, all they could see was a middle-aged man sitting behind the counter.
The old man looked at the twins before asking, "What do you want?"
Rean immediately asked back, "Are you Jalel?"
The guy narrowed his eyes, responding, "And what if I am?"
Rean then used a Divine Sense to pass the password Etherian gave him. 'The Green Beetle sent us.'
The man's eyes flickered a little before he got up and headed to the back of the store. "Follow me."
There, they found a teleport formation, which reminded Roan a lot of the black market back in the Sasamil Empire.
"There's a fee of 100 Rank One Divine Stones," the man said.
Rean didn't mind and immediately paid the fee. Soon after, the twins stepped on the teleport formation before it activated, sending them away. It turns out that the teleport formation sent the twins far away from the city, to the middle of nowhere...or so it seemed. It's just that there was a man waiting at the destination. Rean and Roan narrowed their eyes as they looked at the man. They could tell that the guy's cultivation was definitely much higher than their own. If he decided to attack, things would not be good for them.
However, the man didn't seem to care about the twins and simply pointed at a set of crevices on the land, asking, "Which continent?"
"Lanqueas," Rean answered straight away.
The man nodded, telling the two, "Leftmost opening. Go."
The twins nodded before entering the opening mentioned by the man. They soon found out they weren't the only ones there. There seemed to be a small hall inside with a closed gate at the back. In the hall, there were another twenty or so cultivators with cultivations varying from Nascent Soul Realm to above the Transition Realm. They all seemed to be waiting for something. They noticed when the twins came inside, but they ignored their presence right after.
Rean and Roan nodded at each other and went to a corner. One didn't need to be a genius to understand that those people came here with the same purpose as themselves. With that said, they just cultivated for the time being, like a few of the others.
Time passed, and soon, five days went by. During this time, no one talked about anything. However, the number of people there increased even more. The hall had almost 50 people waiting for the same thing.
Eventually, the gate at the back of the underground hall began to open, which caught everyone's attention. Five people came from inside. Their leader then looked at the people waiting there before saying, "I'm Timoteo, the one responsible for the journey. If you're here, that's because you need to leave our continent for some reason. Pursuers, breaking the law, killing someone, or simply wanting to experience a new place. Whatever the reason is, I don't care. All I need is your payment."
Timoteo's subordinates then began to walk by the people in the hall while Timoteo explained, "The payment to help cross the barrier is 2000 Rank Two Divine Stones for each head. Your cultivation matters little as the price won't change. Be aware that there will be no refunds either. It won't matter if you give up or not as the Divine Stones won't be given back."
Everyone passed spatial rings, which obviously had the payment mentioned by Timoteo. Without a doubt, everyone there had some deep background or did some incredible things to gather that amount. After all, Rank Two Divine Stones were extremely rare outside the Sacred Land. Even in the Sacred Land, it's not something one could get a great amount of that easily.
The twins' turn also arrived as Rean took out the Divine Stones and passed it over. In the end, they had to pay 4000 Rank Two Divine Stones. Sure, they would pay less if one of them hid in the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. However, if something happened, the Dimensional Realm would be locked down, so no one would be able to enter or leave.. With that in mind, the twins preferred to stay outside, just in case.
