Death... and me
1223 First encounter(Chapter preview)

The reason they stopped by this door was that Kentucky felt the presence of a Golden-level ore inside. Since he couldn't enter without destroying the whole thing, Roan's group went in to check it out while he dealt with the Yin Ghosts outside.Rean then approached a sarcophagus at the center of that room and opened it. Sure enough, there was Golden-level ore there. It's just that it wasn't a Life's Nemesis Rock. "No, it's Haluquio Metal, ore at the Golden High-level. It's quite unfortunate that this one has already been refined, so it wouldn't be of much use to me." When Rean created his weapons, he had to do that from the start when they were still ores so that he could apply the Elemental Gathering Technique. "Well, I guess the Blacksmith Hall and Guild would still pay a good amount of Rank One Divine Stones for it."
Rean's group then exited the room and began to charge forward once again. However, other than a few ghosts with Semi Yin Ghost Cores, they hadn't found a single ghost with a complete Yin Ghost Core.
Roan obviously noticed that. "We're probably far away from the center of the catacombs. That was already the fifth place where Kentucky felt the presence of Golden-level materials and no Life's Nemesis Rocks. The fact we didn't find any real strong ghost is proof of that."
Liana couldn't help but ask, "You do know that some of the ghosts with complete Yin Ghost Cores might be as strong as an Initial Stage Transition Realm cultivator, right? How do you plan to fight such a thing?"
Roan shook his head, saying, "We don't. If we find one of those monsters, we will immediately retreat."
Liana was taken aback. "Do you think we can move faster than such a thing?"
Roan faintly smiled but didn't explain. Roan's affinity was Dark Element. The higher the ghost level, the more Dark Element they had in their bodies, as well as Yin Energy. Those ghosts could feel living beings' Life Energy, so why wouldn't Roan feel the Death Energy in their bodies? Way before their group ran into any of those previous ghosts with Semi Yin Ghost Cores, Roan already knew that they were there. It was more like they acted as a beacon that trailblazed his path.
Suddenly, Roan noticed something. "Hmm? Everyone, stop."
They looked at Roan, who focused his attention behind him. "Someone very skilled in controlling Yin Energy to use Dark Element is approaching us from behind." Just like he could feel the Dark Element in the bodies of high-level ghosts, he could sense it when someone else used it as well.
To be more precise, it wasn't the first time Rean's group had bumped into some people. They weren't the first ones to arrive, after all. Besides, they were sure that many other cultivators were heading to the catacombs as well. However, none of them had such great control over Yin Energy and Dark Element like the one Roan was feeling.
"Are they enemies or just another group passing by?" Liana asked.
Rean and Roan could answer that straight away. "It's an enemy."
Liana was surprised at how confident they were in their statement. Sure, there were many Evil Path cultivators in this danger zone, but that didn't mean they would buy a fight against other cultivators. Those who wanted to kill everyone they saw on their way were quite rare.
Of course, Rean and Roan had their cheat skill, the Soul Gem Dimensional Restriction. The system was never wrong about these things. Every time Rean's group was about to encounter some other team, Rean and Roan tried to access the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. If it allowed them to enter, then it meant the group ahead meant no danger to their group. Usually, that was because the other side's cultivation levels were similar to theirs. Rean's group had no need to fear people at the same level. If it denied access, then it was definitely a dangerous situation for them.
Of course, just that didn't mean that the group heading their way would definitely attack their group. The system simply judged the chances of it being a very dangerous situation. One thing was certain, though. Whoever it was, they would definitely not be something easy to deal with if a battle took place. Without a doubt, their numbers or cultivation levels were much higher than the twins.
Immediately, Rean's group wiped out the ghosts in the vicinity before Rean activated his Light and Divine Sense bending skill. Thanks to the spacious place, there were a lot of areas where Kentucky could crouch without blocking and being close to anyone. And just like that, Rean's group disappeared in a corner, making it seem like there was nothing there.
*Zuush, zuush, zuush...*
The cultivators suddenly arrived in the area, making their way forward as well. Their Divine Senses then touched Rean's Divine Sense bending skill, which told Rean their cultivation. 'The guy at the front is at the Late Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. The other two behind him are both at the Peak Stage of the Saint Realm,' Rean warned them with his Divine Sense. He made sure his Divine Sense didn't leave his area either so that those guys couldn't feel it.
Rean's group was planning to simply let them pass and wait for a while. After that, they would choose another path and keep following Kentucky's senses. However, those three guys suddenly stopped there.
"How come we haven't found them yet?" The one who talked was the leader, also known as Kluo. He was one of the Blood Path Sect members looking for Roan. Roan also recognized him as he did pay attention to Gille's group before entering the danger zone.
The guy on his side shook his head, saying, "The previous group told us they headed in this direction. I was the one who tortured them, so I'm sure they were telling the truth. Considering the size of their Demon Bird and the time between the encounter, we should have caught up to them by now."
Rean, Roan, Liana, and Kentucky narrowed their eyes after hearing that. Obviously, those people were after them.
