Death... and me

Chapter 2296 They Know Too Much



Chapter 2296 They Know Too Much

Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Eagon appeared on the surface of the Planet a moment later. They didn't stop and flew high into the skies until they exited the Sunkan Planet entirely. Finally, they stopped right in front of the group that had just arrived. "Who are you?"

One of the Space-Time Realm experts there, the one who seemed the leader, stepped forward. "That's our question. This Planet is under our jurisdiction. You must leave now."

"Hahahaha!" Eagon laughed out loud before showing the token in his hand. "Under your jurisdiction? That's funny to hear. How come I, the Lord of this Sector, have never heard about it?"

The leader narrowed his eyes and looked straight at one of his subordinates. "Tuma, that's not what you reported to us."

Tuma, an old man on the back, nervously replied. "S-Sir, that's not my fault. According to the records of the lords of this sector, the Sector Lord right now was supposed to be Bako Hudrido. That guy is famous in his circle for being quite lazy and never coming out during his turns unless there is a real need for it. I also confirmed Bako is cultivating in his residence. I don't know who is this guy."

"He is not wrong," Eagon surprisingly confirmed the guy's words. "At the moment, it is really Bako's turn to be overseeing this sector. Nonetheless, I'm one of the other cultivators who take turns in this sector as Sector Lord, so my authority as Sector Lord also remains. Now that you understand, identify yourselves."

The leader narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Sunkan Planet down below. He seemed to be quite unwilling to talk. Yet, with the Sector Lord Token, things weren't that simple. "I'm Qestuve, the one in charge of this group. The other two on my side are Krutos and Vladrie. The rest are just some subordinates not worth mentioning." He purposely introduced himself and the other two Space-Time Realm experts.

Roan suddenly spoke after hearing that, and he only used two words.

"Sentient Crystal?"

If the newcomers knew nothing about Cryan, they would feel puzzled by those words. However, if they showed any different reaction, that would confirm their theory that these people were the ones who made a deal with Cryan before.

Sure enough, as soon as he said those words, the expression of everyone there became ugly.

"I won't make things difficult for you," Qestuve began to release his cultivation while speaking. "You can leave now, and nothing wrong will happen. However, if you insist on getting in our way, even if you have a Sector Lord with you, we won't hold back."

'Their words confirmed two things,' Roan suddenly said to everyone through his Divine Sense. 'The first one is that those guys definitely are not part of the Vruve Organization. The Vruves simply don't care about the rules set by the Realm of Gods in the Mortal Realm, so they would have simply attacked. The second thing is that they know about Cryan and how valuable he is.'

Eagon nodded before looking at Qestuve. "Are you sure you want to cause trouble here? As a Sector Lord, I can immediately request the help of all other Sectors Lords in the region. You might be strong, but I highly doubt you can deal with all of us at once, especially since you will need to find a way to bring that Crystal away first."

"You will not call anyone," said Qestuve as he began to move forward. "It is obvious you also want that thing, so calling others is the same as revealing its existence. Once that happens, you definitely won't be able to keep even a thousandth of its Divine Origin Energy for yourself. The way I see it, you only have two choices. The first one is to die here while trying to protect it. The second one is to leave and hope that we don't find a way of acquiring that Crystal. By now, you should have also noticed the huge issue that is to detach that Crystal from its own Dimension. If we fail, we will have no other choice other than to leave, too."

Eagon looked at Rean and Roan. His eyes obviously confirmed that Qestuve's words were correct. He truly didn't want to allow anyone else to see the Crystal. Even if the chance was low, he would rather leave and hope they would fail to take Cryan away.

However, Roan simply snorted in response. "Hmph! Do you take me for an idiot?"

Qestuve's eyebrow raised a little. "Did it look like I was making a fool of you?"

Roan nodded. "I'm pretty sure that the first time your people came here, they weren't that strong, right? Let me guess, Void Tempering Realm? Definitely not higher than Space Bending Realm. That explains why they haven't tried to take the Crystal away. I can already imagine what face you had when you finally came to take the Crystal and noticed the Planet was gone. You definitely thought someone had taken it, right? Yet, it goes without saying you also found that Blackhole. It's just that none of you knew what it was or if it had anything to do with that Crystal. At some point, you finally gave up as it showed no results."

"Of course, that didn't mean you gave up completely," Roan continued. "Considering how fast you appeared here after the Planet was rebuilt, it was obvious you left some way to monitor this place in case someone found something about that Blackhole. Especially since someone at your level would have definitely investigated whether someone had acquired the Crystal. Naturally, since the Crystal is down there, it meant you found no news about it being acquired by anyone, which increased your belief that perhaps the Crystal was in that Blackhole you couldn't do shit about."

Qestuve began to get more and more aware of Roan. Every word he spoke so far was exactly what happened. "So what do you want to say?"

Roan coldly smiled. "You said you might not get the Crystal in the end, which is a lie. There is a way of bringing it out, and you know how. Simply put, it is also the reason why a Space-Time Realm cultivator like you appeared here. Since the Crystal is being held by the Planet's World Essence... you just need to destroy the Planet. That's exactly what the first person who found it, that Void Tempering or Space Bending Realm expert, didn't have the power to do. Yet, you definitely have this power."

Suddenly, a sword appeared in Qestuve's hand, and a purple field immediately spread out as he activated his Domain. "They know too much. Kill them!"
