DEATH… AND ME

oan would pick up on some clues with just those words.
‘Oh! Look, Roan, they stole the information!’ Rean said through their Soul Connection.

Roan nodded, saying, ‘Indeed.
There shouldn’t be many ways cultivators at their level could acquire this information.
They simply don’t have the authority nor the background for it.
In the end, only stealing is left.
I’m not 100% sure, but it’s still quite impressive that they acquired the information without being caught.’

Rean agreed with Roan.
‘Yes.
Then again, it’s quite unfortunate that the cultivators protecting this area probably noticed that the information was stolen.
After all, it would be too much of a coincidence if they simply decided to change their routes and times just as we were coming.
This might even be connected to why Carion and Briget wanted to leave the continent.’

‘Clearly,’ Roan thought the same.
‘At the very least, I can’t pick up any signs of lies from them.
Of course, there’s one more option.
The information they thought to be genuine was wrong from the very start.
It’s just that they don’t know about it.’

Rean then smiled at Carion after that, saying, “Don’t worry.
We trust that you aren’t lying.
It’s just that I find it too risky to steal information, so you better be more careful next time.
It’s obvious that the enemy noticed it and changed their routes.”

Carion looked at Rean with a surprised expression.
“How…”

Rean cut him there.
“Let’s just say you worded your response wrongly.
Anyway, that makes me curious.
Is the information about the Under Desert Sea the real deal? Because if it was stolen from the same place, we might be in for a huge ambush.”

Carion and Briget immediately nodded.
“The information about the Under Desert Sea is related to our father.
It has nothing to do with the stealing of the patrolling routes and times.”

Rean didn’t insist.
“Since you say that, let’s believe it for now.” Though, Rean and Roan kept the Divine Sense bending skill active to detect more of the guards.
If there was an ambush waiting for them at the digging point, they would find it straight away.

Rean then had the Eagle and Kentucky fly much higher than before, trying to avoid any possible Void Tempering Realm cultivator close to the ground.
That also allowed them to pick up a point with relatively no surveillance, thanks to the Divine Sense bending skill.
In the end, they had to land around 50 kilometers away from the point Carion wanted to dig, but it wasn’t considered a big difference when one took the Under Desert Sea’s size into consideration.

Carion then took a jade slip out of his spatial ring and took a look inside before nodding.
“This is good enough.
Leave the excavation to me.
Don’t worry, I’ll cover the area behind us.” He then looked at Kentucky, who was much bigger than the Purple Eagle.
“However, it might take some time to bring Kentucky as well, so be patient.”

“Oh, is that an issue?” Rean asked with a smile.
Suddenly, Kentucky vanished from their sight.
“Done..
Now you don’t need to care about him anymore.”
