Death... and me

Going back in time, when the Rambram Sect had just started to look for the twins in the Free Continent, Jhiod Sect in the Jhiod Continent received a visit. Well, to be more specific, that visit was already there, but it hadn't appeared until that moment.

Gean Gileria, as well as all the high-level elders of the Jhiod Sect, suddenly felt a powerful Divine Sense passing through them. Only those protected by the formations didn't notice that thing. In any case, one thing was certain. Whoever the owner of the Divine Sense was was several times stronger than anyone in the Jhiod Sect.

Usually, it wouldn't be possible to feel the Divine Sense of someone much stronger. However, the owner of the Divine Sense allowed them all to feel her Divine Sense on purpose.

Gean, as the Sect Master, immediately came out of the sect to see who it was. It was then that he saw an old woman outside the protection formation of the Jhiod Sect. It's just that the woman didn't attack it. Instead, she calmly waited for someone to appear.

They immediately noticed one thing, though. The woman definitely wasn't part of the humanoid races. Her body was covered in worn-out blue feathers, showing that she was very old. In any case, no one there dared to underestimate her. There simply wasn't anyone in the Jhiod Sect who could do anything to that demon beast! Yes, the demonic aura coming from her body totally showed that she was part of the demon beats races.

Gean then took a deep breath before coming closer, asking, "Hello, my friend. How can our Jhiod Sect help you?" Gean had many questions, but he didn't dare to ask anything.

The woman nodded in response, satisfied, before saying, "I came here to ask for some information about a certain pair of twins. They seem to have disappeared, and we need to find their whereabouts. I heard that they were selected as part of the Jamai Sect during the last Jamai Sect selection. Say, do you know anything that could help me find them now?"

Gean was taken aback for a moment and immediately looked at Philip, the clan leader of the Yume Clan. "Philip, weren't they your guests? Why don't you help this lady with her issues? If anyone here knows anything about those twins, that has to be you."

Philip couldn't help but grow a little nervous. In his mind, he was cursing Rean and Roan for making such a monster appear in front of him. "Ahem... yes, they were my guests a few decades ago. However, I don't know how I can help you. All I can do is tell you from which continent they came from. But other than that, I don't know much."

The woman nodded in response. She wasn't expecting to find anything that fast. "Very well, tell me their continent of origin."

Without any other choice, Philip immediately told the woman that the twins came from the Huring Continent. Or, to be more specific, the Huring Sacred Land. He also told her everything he knew about the twins, although nothing he knew would help her more with her search.

"They traveled all the way from the Huring Continent to your Jhiod Sect on their own? That's quite impressive considering the kind of place this side of the Realm of Gods is. Well, coming from the guys who created those weird formations, I guess I shouldn't be surprised," said the woman.

Philip quickly nodded in agreement. "They were very impressive from the get-go. That's why they were selected by the Jamai Sect disciple as her subordinates. Is there anything else we can do for you?"

The woman pondered in silence for a bit before eventually shaking her head. "No, this is enough. I would know if you were lying or hiding anything, so it's good that you were honest with your words. Otherwise, I would have to wipe out this sect to set an example."

She was right. Philip really didn't hide anything. He simply didn't want to risk his life for it. He was even happier after hearing she wouldn't do anything, praising himself mentally that he said everything. No one there doubted the woman had the power to destroy the Jhiod Sect. "Thank you. We will be here in case you need anything else."

The woman then turned around before space broke apart. Inside, one could see the spatial storms hidden behind the fabric of space. Yet, the woman seemed unfazed by that sight and simply entered it, quickly disappearing.

That sight only instilled even more fear in the people of the Jhiod Sect. It was one thing to move using Spatial Powers. Everyone there could do it. However, breaking space apart that easily and entering the spatial storms would basically be suicide for them. They knew it was definitely the best way of moving through space, but no one there had anywhere near the cultivation necessary for it.

Gean then looked at everyone and immediately passed the order. "No one saw anything, do you understand? Unless it's extremely necessary, we better keep our mouths shut about what happened here."

Philip and the other promptly agreed with Gean. "That's a given."

Unfortunately for them, a week later, the elder of the Rambram Sect, someone who just happened to not be any weaker than the old female demon beast, also knocked on their door. "I'm Sufo from the Rambram Sect, one of the controlling powers from the center of the Realm of Gods. I need information about the twins that the Jamai Sect recruited around two decades ago. Who here can help me with it?"

Gean's mouth twitched in response as he looked at Philip once again. The meaning in his eyes was obvious. This is your problem. Solve it!

Philip felt like crying already. 'What did those twins do to catch the attention of so many of these monsters? Rambram Sect? That's a name I wouldn't dream of hearing in a place like this.'

Of course, Philip hadn't forgotten the old female demon beast from a week ago. Although he wasn't planning to say anything at first, he felt it was better to mention it. "Ahem... could it be that sir is together with the demon beast who visited us a week ago?"

Hearing that, Sufo's expression suddenly turned dark.
