Death… And Me Chapter 1116 - That Doesn't Seem Right

Chapter 1116 - That Doesn't Seem Right

Julian wasn't the only person puzzled by Rean and Roan's actions. Back in the Sacred Land's guest hall, Fabio and some elders from the Apocal Country also noticed that. In Fabio's case, he was responsible for the twins and Milina. The other members of his kingdom didn't care about his proteges.

As for Apocal Country, Julian was still a direct descendant, so it made sense that a few more elders watched his progress. In any case, both Fabio and those elders were as lost as they could be. 'Just why are they there? Could it be that they're lost? No, that can't be. Julian definitely recognized one of the landmarks there. He should have been able to tell the direction of the Soul Eater Sect after that, so why did they head in the opposite direction?'

However, the current situation reminded Fabio of the a.s.sembly in Cosec City. 'Could it be...'

Milina then looked at Rean and Roan before asking, "This is the barrier that seals the Yin Corpses inside the Yin Corpses Zone, isn't it? Shouldn't we have gone to the Soul Eater Sect to find the way out instead?"

Julian agreed with Milina on that. "She's right. This barrier was made by the Sacred Land, you know? There's no way to pa.s.s through this thing."

Rean laughed in response as he told them, "Hahaha! Heading to the Soul Eater Sect, where there might even be Transition Realm Yin Corpses wandering about? Who would go through such a dangerous situation? We might as well stay as far away as possible from it."

Julian felt like crying after hearing that. "But if we don't head there, how do you expect us to leave? I'm pretty sure that there's some hidden formation that can bring us out there. But here..."

Roan shook his head as he explained, "You're forgetting one important thing. No one said what the rules are, so we can only guess that the Sacred Land wants us out of this place. Since that's the case, they have no right to complain as to how we get out of here, don't you think?"

Julian nodded in response. "Sure...but do you have a way out?"

Rean was the one to answer his question. "Probably. But first, we need to check something." Following that, Rean took a small boulder nearby and tossed it at the barrier.

*Bang!*

The boulder hit the barrier and quickly crumbled. However, it was not because the barrier destroyed it. It's just that the impact allowed that result to happen. "Hehe! It seems like it's just a barrier and nothing else. If this barrier wasn't allowed to be touched, then things would become complicated. Especially if it attacked back."

Rean then approached the barrier and was ready to jump back at any moment. He still needed to test if the thing only reacted to living beings. However, Rean soon touched the barrier, and nothing happened. He could only feel its structure. If he was a common person with his eyes closed, he would have a hard time telling if it was a solid wall or something sustained with Divine Energy. "Great! It's just as I thought."

He then looked at Roan and told him, "Alright, Roan. It's up to you now."

Hearing that, Roan nodded and approached the barrier. Soon after, he focused on his Divine Soul Power and Yin Energy and used them to gather Dark Element. One must remember that Dark Element has the property of destruction. Roan used it against the barrier and made a circle of Dark Energy around the place where they wanted to attack.

The Dark Energy in the center was used to create a hole to pa.s.s through. The circle was to prevent the seal from repairing the damaged area of the barrier. With the circle there, the Dark Element destroyed the Divine Energy that was supposed to return the barrier back to normal.

Slowly but surely, the seals on the attacked point began to break apart. It was a slow process as the level of the barrier was truly very high. In any case, it was a fact that Roan was succeeding. "It works. Seems like we won't need to join the crowd in the Soul Eater Sect."

Milina and Julian's eyes lit up after seeing that. "Unbelievable...how come no one tried to do it before?"

Rean shook his head in response as he replied, "How do you know that no one else is trying to do it? It's just that the majority believes that they can't break a sealed barrier made by the Sacred Land at their level."

Well, there was another reason as well. The Dark Element used by those who needed Yin Energy to control it was different from Roan's natural affinity. His Dark Element was in its purest form. Roan wasn't certain about that, but he believed that someone using Yin Energy to control Dark Element wouldn't get the same result as him. That's because even he was having a hard time breaking the seals. His approach was different. He didn't need to use Yin Energy to gather Dark Element. Instead, he could use it to strengthen it. It's two completely different concepts.

Time pa.s.sed and a week went by. It turned out that progressing through the Yin Corpses of the Soul Eater Sect was a lot harder than they thought. In any case, they had succeeded in getting rid of quite a few Transition Realm Yin Corpses and were getting even further into the sect. It wouldn't take long before they finally got out of there.

Back in the Sacred Land, Ca.s.sia was monitoring the fights against the Yin Corpses with a bored expression. "They sure are taking their time to go through the Yin Corpses, huh? Well, I guess that's okay as well. Dying isn't worth it."

She then received a report from her subordinates, who had weird expressions on their faces. "At the moment, of the 124852, 25984 cultivators died, killed by the Yin Corpses or the other cultivators. It's a number smaller than expected, so we could say that this batch isn't too bad either."

He continued, "76325 cultivators already arrived in the Soul Eater Sect and joined the battle against the Yin Corpses. The other 22539 are moving in the Soul Eater Sect's direction or are still lost in the Yin Death Zone, not knowing where to go."

"Hmm? That doesn't seem right...." Ca.s.sia noticed a problem.
