Death... and me - Chapter 2922: Just Take It
Arriving at the first floor, the twins could see a few of the cultivators coming and going. Yet, the red color of killing intent didn’t disappear while the twins just pretended to not know
anything.
Rean then called a guy on the side, who was just coming back from the Dungeon. “Hey, friend. Would you mind pointing out the direction to the second level?” Rean asked in a clear voice, making it easy for anyone nearby to hear.
The guy seemed annoyed that he was stopped but still pointed out. “Just go straight and follow the Yin Energy. The thicker it gets, the closer you are to the next level. It is the same for all levels… or so I heard since I’ve never been beyond the third level.” He didn’t wait for an answer and passed by the twins, leaving the Dungeon.
With that, Rean and Roan began to run in the direction of Yin Energy, with Roan being the best guide possible.
‘Should we do something?’ Rean asked.
‘Leave some for the spirits, and the rest we can take care of further inside,’ Roan answered without much concern.
Initially, the pursuers noticed each other, but none of them retreated. If anything, they all had a mutual dislike for Rean, especially since many of them were victims of his pretense in the arena. Of course, there were those who only cared about the gains of taking Rean down.
Most of the cultivators coming after them were in the Foundation Establishment, but there were also higher cultivations. Those with higher cultivation actively used their Spiritual Senses, thinking that Initial Stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators like Rean and Roan couldn’t possibly notice them.
As for the rest, because they were also in the Foundation Establishment, they just followed the cultivators with higher cultivations. It was a good thing the twins were going further into the Dungeon. If they stayed on the first floor, something might happen, and the elders who keep an eye on the Dungeon might intervene.
The further down you go, the lesser the chance of that happening, even if it is just the second floor. Little did they know Rean and Roan had the exact same thought. Not only that, the twins had Rean’s Divine Sense bending skill, which obviously worked even better for Spiritual Sense. They would be able to feel the presence of any elders straight away and act accordingly without causing suspicion.
Rean and Roan found a few Stage One Spirits on the way, but they were no match for the twins. Two swords moved in a strange manner, seeming a little out of control. Nonetheless, due to the twins’ higher cultivation, killing those Spirits was still possible. Right, Roan obviously used a sword again since managing a scythe would be just too ridiculous.
Those who observed snorted, thinking the guys in the Foundation Establishment were exaggerating. Any of the Core Formation Cultivators could perform much better, even if they didn’t use swords.
Finally, the twins reached the seal separating the first and second floors. As mentioned before, the seal only barred the spirits and demon beasts, not the cultivators. They quickly passed through it, heading down in an agile manner.
The number of cultivators are the entrance of the second floor obviously reduced a lot. That didn’t bother the twins, though. Roan just felt the Yin Energy flow and rushed ahead with Rean. A moment later, various figures appeared in the second floor as well, startling the onlookers. They ignored everyone and quickly shot after the twins.
The initial plan was to wait for the twins to get somewhere far away from the entrance of the floor and then attack. That didn’t take long to happen. However, every time the Core Formation Realm cultivators increased their speed to catch the twins… the twins simply disappeared from their senses. Then, a few seconds later, they reappeared further away, still running at their normal speed.
Naturally, the pursuers gave chase straight away, just to end up encountering mobs of spirits. This was the second floor, so many of the spirits here were at Stage Two. They weren’t a problem for those about the Foundation Establishment, but those who were in that realm were forced to fight.
Of course, with those with higher cultivation slashing their way through the mobs, the remaining spirits were much easier to deal with by the weaker cultivators. Nonetheless, some injuries were still earned by them.
That system continued for a while… until the twins reached the seal to the third level and crossed it. Once again, they headed down. A moment later, the cultivators in pursuit stopped, finding it that weird the twins decided to go to the third level with their cultivation.
The third level had Stage Three Spirits, although the majority were still Stage Two. Those above the Foundation Establishment only thought for a moment and gave chase. They weren’t afraid. As for those in the Foundation Establishment, they had a harder time deciding. Was having their vengeance worth the risk of the third level? Some decided to stay behind and prepare an ambush in case the twins made it out alive. As for the rest, they still took the risk since they might gain something from the whale known as Rean.
‘Hum… the third floor seems to be okay,’ Rean spoke after not detecting any high-level Spiritual Senses.
Roan nodded. ‘The further down we go, the more experienced the cultivators. It doesn’t make much sense to keep babysitters for those who come to the third floor and beyond since they won’t learn anything. There might still be one or another, but they are easily avoidable.’
Rean then looked behind. ‘Oh! Our friends are here already. Let’s go!’
The twins once again ran away, but this time, they didn’t disappear. They kept the speed of an Initial Stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, allowing the pursuers to catch them. Of course, not before leading them into a few more mobs of Spirits and Demon Beasts so that they could have some fun.
Finally, the red color of killing intent intensified, and the pursuers surrounded the twins. One of them stepped forward, smiling with disdain at the two. “It was about time we caught you. You made quite a few enemies in the arena. And some of us are here just for the profits. How about you bring out all your Spiritual Stones for us to see?”
*Zush!*
Suddenly, hundreds of Rank Two Spiritual Stones were thrown in the air, much to the pursuers’ surprise. “It is all yours. Just take it.”
