Chapter 301 - More Information And Some Help

"Missing people? Wasn't it supposed to be just one woman?"

Rovan noticed that they didn't have the full story, so he began to explain.

"Around a few months ago, the cultivators venturing in this area began to disappear without any clues. The weird thing is that quite a few of them were in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. Cultivators, at this level, wouldn't die that quickly in this Core Region. Even if they did, it would be because of some fierce battle or similar event. However, no clues whatsoever were found."

Rean and Roan then looked at each other.

"So, it was not only that old woman Latalia. There were more. Could it be that she was sent here to investigate the disappearances?"

"Probably. However, Juan Amakal seemed to know more than just that. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a need for him to be searching for any help possible."

Roan then turned to Rovan.

"Are you here because of Juan Amakal's request too?"

Rovan nodded.

"Exactly. That Serene Blue Jade is an excellent help for my granddaughter back in the clan. However, I had my people look into this issue until I found the constant disappearances happening here."

Rean couldn't help but ask.

"Then, why did you come? Was the Serene Blue Jade worth the risk? You are the Clan Head of the Lopin Clan, after all. What if you disappear?"

Rovan shook his head.

"My granddaughter has greater talent than me or my son here. She will definitely inherit the position of clan head in the future. I'm already old, as you can see. My lifespan is reaching its limit, so I need to prepare for the worst. That's why these two elders and my son accepted that mission regardless."

Rean nodded. He was trying to obtain a better future for his clan, so that was understandable.

"Anyway, we are indeed looking for the same person. Is that all you wanted to confirm? I might as well tell you that the Serene Blue Jade is also essential for us. Otherwise, we wouldn't have come."

Well, the Jade Slip's location was the real reason, though.

Rovan nodded before asking.

"What about we join together to look for her. In exchange, you will give me those Umbral Sect people's items? Does it sound like a good deal?"

Rean and Roan understood. Sure enough, even if he was in a clan, his resources couldn't possibly compare to the disciples like the Umbral Sect's ones. The weapons and items that they brought here would be of great help. Of course, the Serene Blue Jade would be even better. However, that was not an a.s.sured reward. As for their enemies' items, they might be lower in value, but they were guaranteed.

Rean and Roan didn't have much interest in these Umbral Sect Members' items to start with. In that case, they had to admit that this was quite a good deal. Even if Rovan and his companions decide to escape with everything after, Rean and Roan wouldn't care too much about it.

"Very well. However, we have some uses for the Flag Protection Formation. If you are fine with the rest of the items here, you can have everything."

Rovan and the others immediately nodded. Although the Flag Protection Formation would sell for a lot, the rest of the items were by no means worse.

"Great!"

Rovan then took a jade slip from his bag and pa.s.sed it to the twins.

"Take a look inside. It is a general map of this place. The parts that I marked were places we looked at already, so you can ignore them if you want. Of course, you can look inside them as well if you wish."

Roan then looked at Rovan's group before asking.

"Did you find a mountain with four peaks in these areas?"

Rovan and the others showed a puzzled expression.

"A mountain with four peaks? I don't remember anything like that. What about you three?"

His son and the two elders shook their heads as well.

"Nope, nothing in our end either."

Rovan then looked at Roan before asking.

"Is there any meaning in that mountain?"

Roan nodded before he took a badge out of his robe. That was his Earth High-Level Alchemist Badge!

"I'm an alchemist. Another reason to come here was to collect a few herbs that only grow in that place. Since there was also a searching mission too, we decided to take both at the same time."

Rovan's group couldn't help but sigh.

'He is already that strong at this age, and he still found time to become such a high-level alchemist. How can the difference in talent be this great?'

Rovan quickly recovered before nodding.

"Very well. How do you want us to contact your group?"

Rean then put his hand inside his bag before taking out a talisman from it. Although talismans were a lot more expensive than using the Communication System, they had their advantages. For example, the fact that they could be activated anywhere instead of having to find a communication formation to do so.

'Perhaps I'll be able to create cellphones in the future. Hahaha!'

Rean then threw it at the Clan Leader.

"Here's a Thoughts Transmission Talisman. If you find the Four Peaks mountain, just contact us through it, and we will come as fast as possible."

Roan also added.

"Don't forget that this Umbral Sect's group wasn't the only one. Next time, don't try to pry into their ident.i.ties. Just say that you don't know anything."

Rovan bitterly smiled as he scratched his head. How could he not understand that specific question turned them into corpses? He wouldn't be idiotic enough to make the same mistake again.

After finis.h.i.+ng that and discussing a few more things, Rean and Roan soon departed with Kentucky. As for the Umbral Sect items, they simply left them there for Rovan's group to collect on their own.

As the twins disappeared in the distance, Ervan couldn't help but ask.

"Are we really going to help them look for the targets and that mountain? What if we are attacked by the Umbral Sect's remaining members?"

Rovan shook his head in response, replying.

"It's okay. We just need to be more careful next time. Besides, it would be great if we can form a friends.h.i.+p with those twins. You saw their power, right? I think we have a lot more to gain if we help them in this endeavor. They are bound to accomplish great things in the future. If we are the ones to find what they want, we can even ask them to help your daughter once she joins the sect next year."

Ervan and the other two elders nodded. That was indeed a tempting option.

"But what if we were caught by whatever is making the cultivators disappear?"

Ervan was the one to answer that question.

"Didn't we already come here even though we know about that? What is there to be afraid of? Father already said what would be better for us, so let's go."

Rovan nodded, satisfied.

Rean and Roan already left the Lopin Clan's members Spiritual Sense range by this time. Thanks to the research they did, Rean and Roan were able to risk more than 40% of the search's total area. They quickly paid attention to the places still available and moved to the next one.
