Death... and me

Sifo pondered over it for a bit and used another Thoughts Transmission Talisman to contact the Rambram Sect. A moment later, he received an answer and prepared to leave. However, he first asked the old man something else. "Who's the leader of your Sacred Land right now?"

The old man then looked behind him. With the appearance of Sifo, a few of the survivors came to see what was happening. It's just that none of them said anything. "That man over there."

The main elders of the Huring Sacred Land were dead, so the new leader was surprisingly quite weak. In any case, he had one of the highest cultivations there at the moment. "I'm Suan Yitigal. How can I help you, elder?"

Sifo nodded and passed him a badge, saying, "This is my Rambram Sect's badge. You can use it to keep your position and the top power of this continent until you have recovered your strengths. However, we'll only intervene in case of direct attacks. Whatever happens internally is not our problem. Consider it a payment for the information on how to forge Element Gathering equipment. Of course, if a demon beast like that one appears again, you can contact us as well. Here, you can have these three Thoughts Transmission Talismans. They'll be enough to contact my Rambram Sect in the center of the Realm of Gods."

Suan was delighted to hear that and quickly thanked Sifo after receiving three talismans from him.

Sifo just nodded and immediately opened a fissure in space before disappearing inside. Seeing that only reinforced Sifo's words as they had never seen anyone enter the fabric of space before. "Perhaps this attack was a fortune in disguise. We'll see..."

Returning to the present, the female demon beast who captured Erithean returned to the demon beasts' territory. She seemed quite spent, though. It was as if she had to go through quite some trouble to get back here. "I really hate those humanoid races. They completely closed my path back. If not because of the secret gap between our territories, I would probably have been taken down there."

That was correct. The Rambram Sect had indeed found clues that someone with a high level of cultivation had entered their territory. After receiving the message from Sifo, they put a search force focused on the high-level demon beasts and finally located the female demon beast.

Having cultivation at the peak of the Realm of Gods had many advantages. However, it also had its own problems. For example, the powers had long since devised methods to locate these top experts once they entered their territories. The female demon beast's visit to Jhiod and Huring Continent was quite dangerous, but she had to do it.

That's because the information about the twins' Circuitry Formation had escaped a long time ago. Simply put, the demon beasts had their own spies in the humanoid race forces, and that helped them find the truth.

At first, they were having problems because there was no way to enter the Free Continent without the Rambram Sect noticing. With that being said, they couldn't capture the twins and Havek, nor anyone else from the System Sect. But who could have thought that the twins escaped the Rambram Sect on their own?

That's why the female demon beast was sent to Jhiod. They were betting that the twins had already left the Free Continent and were heading somewhere else. Her mission was to find some clue or perhaps the exact location of the twins, even if it was dangerous. Sending anyone else wouldn't be useful since only at her level would someone be able to travel through space like she did. It would take way too long to arrive in Jhiod and Huring after that. The Rambram Sect would have arrived way, way earlier.

Following that, she accessed her Dimensional Realm and pulled Erithean out.

"Oh! Lanfia, you're back." Suddenly, the old female demon beast heard someone's voice. It's just that she didn't need to look at who it was to know. "What? Could it be that you're disappointed?"

Gardo immediately shook his head, saying, "Of course not! If there was anyone who could enter the humanoid races' territory and come back alive, that would be you. Now, lo and behold, here you are. So, how was it? Did you get any information on those twins and the people inside their Dimensional Realm?"

Lanfia pointed at Erithean, replying, "I got this guy. He lied when I asked him about his knowledge about the twins."

Gardo immediately sucked in some cold air after that. "Man, you're crazy. Lies don't work against her, you know? I don't even want to think about what she did because of that. She's quite temperamental, you know?"

"Shut up and let's head to the summit. Placake is already waiting for us there." Ignoring Gardo, she quickly grabbed Erithean and disappeared from the place.

Gardo just shrugged his shoulders in response and disappeared as well. Before long, they were already in front of the man called Placake.

Placake was in his human form as well. However, one could easily tell he was a demon beast. Blue scales and a eyes slit eyes. But above all, the tremendous pressure from his demonic power was what caught most of the attention.

Placake smiled at Lanfia before asking, "Seems like you didn't come back empty-handed. How was it?"

"We'll see." Lanfia then looked at Erithean, who had an expression of someone already dead. "Now then, how about you stop lying to me? What do you know about the twins? You better answer me, or I'll find a way to head back to that Sacred Land of yours and get rid of your family. Well, at least the ones who survived. Don't try to kill yourself. I have completely sealed your cultivation, so it's useless."

Erithean's gaze slightly shifted as he thought about his granddaughter, the same one who had talked with the twins before. In the end, he had already given up hiding anything. That's because he knew Lanfia would truly do what she said. The fact she wiped out most of the Sacred Land's people proved that she was a woman of her words. 'Sorry, Rean, Roan. I hope you can deal with it on your own.'

"The twins and I are all from the Mortal Realm. As for where they're going, there's no need for you to worry. They're probably heading to the demon beasts' territory."
