BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1965 Stop That Formation
"What do you mean?" Rean asked back.
The lizard shrugged his shoulders in response. "What else? You too think that this brewing war is too dangerous and want to get as far as possible from the Realm of Gods. We\'re in the Void Tempering Realm already, so we can obtain a decent level of authority back in the Underworld. Praise the souls we got our hands on before trouble started!"
Rean then looked at the lizard devil\'s side and saw two weaker devils who seemed to be from the same race. Another thing that he didn\'t fail to notice was that they had three humanoids bound by some kind of chain made out of Divine Energy. Then again, it wasn\'t anything uncommon. Rean and Roan had seen many humanoids, demon beasts, and even a few spirits being held captive in different ways. Of course, this time, Rean wasn\'t idiotic enough to try and free them. After all, that would only get them caught. "What about your kids there?"
"Kids?" The lizard looked at the other two weaker ones and found it funny. "I\'m still single, alright? They\'re just working for me. Do you think I would have such ugly kids?"
"And the humanoids?" Rean finally touched the part that mattered to him. "Your race shouldn\'t have much use for humanoid-type souls, or could it be I\'m wrong?"
"You aren\'t," the lizard answered. "I bought them in the city to bring them to the Underworld. Humanoids are a lot easier to carry since they can at least think and understand orders. If I tried to get demon beasts, they would keep struggling nonstop. Once I\'m back in the Underworld, I can sell them for quite the amount of Devil Stones since living souls are very rare there."
Devil Stones were basically the same as Divine Stones. There were no differences between them in general, actually. The reason they were called that was simply because that was the name the devils used in the Underworld for it.
Rean had a confused expression after hearing that. "But... they won\'t live for long if they\'re exposed to the Dark Element for too long. Will they even be alive by the time you reach the Temporal Path?" Since the devil was talking so much, Rean decided to ask more.
\'Who cares about the humanoids?\' Yet, Roan complained straight away. \'This is the first guy we found that came from the Temporal Path. We need to ask more about the Temporal Path, idiot. Or do you think this devil hasn\'t thought about this issue already? They definitely have their ways to preserve living beings for long enough to move them around.\' It\'s not that Roan didn\'t think about those humanoids, but instead, it was useless to do anything.
"Errr... have you never tried to move your own living souls around?" Sure enough, the lizard also found Rean\'s question strange. For him, it was just common sense.
Rean looked away for a moment. "I\'ve just never cared about the souls I used before. Once I get them, I use them for cultivation straight away. That\'s all."
He quickly tried to change the subject after that. "Right! I\'m Gean, and this is my friend Doan. You haven\'t told us your name yet."
The lizard obviously doubted Rean\'s answer but didn\'t dwell over it. "Oh! I\'m Fleus. These two subordinates of mine are Orklia and Zektak. I got them to accept serving me in exchange for a couple of Devil Stones quite a few years ago. They\'re quite convenient." He didn\'t mention the humanoids that he bought, though.
"So, Doan and I have never been to the Temporal Path before, let alone the Underworld. In fact, we weren\'t even in a city for a long while, spending some time outside to train. Just like you said, after cultivating all the way to the Void Tempering Realm, we didn\'t want to take part in any war or whatever was going to happen, so we decided to leave. I guess you can understand that we didn\'t care much about the Underworld before since we had access to souls here. But now that we\'re leaving, we know very little about the Underworld. What can you tell us about it?" Rean finally did as Roan asked.
Fleus seemed to really like his own voice as he replied, "It\'s totally different. First of all, the Dark Element in our territory in the Realm of Gods is generated by the Dark Sky Totems. In the Underworld, it\'s just natural. If I were to choose, I think the Dark Element in the Underworld would be more comfortable, although there isn\'t much of a difference other than concentration. It goes without saying that you won\'t find living souls there unless someone brings them from the Realm of Gods or somewhere else. That\'s what I\'m doing, you see?"
Fleus was planning to continue, but he wasn\'t able to. The teleport formation under Rean\'s group began to shine. It looked like the necessary number of devils had finally gathered over it.
However, just as it was about to activate, a powerful Divine Sense spread out from the city\'s center, filled to the brim with rage. \'WHO KILLED MY SON?!\'
Even those who usually wouldn\'t have the cultivation to sense it was able to. As for Rean and Roan, they immediately identified how strong the devil was. \'Elemental Space Realm!\'
It was then that a dark ray of light shot from the center of the city, flying in their direction. Rean and Roan weren\'t idiots. The devil they killed did mention he was some big shot\'s son. What really surprised them was the fact that the devil seemed to know it was them. Otherwise, why would he be flying at them?
\'STOP THAT FORMATION!\' The devil saw that the teleport formation was about to activate and ordered it to be canceled.
Obviously, the devils there followed his orders and tried to stop it. However, it didn\'t work.
[Who said you can stop anything?] Sister Orb acted and made sure it completed its activation.
