Chapter 383 - Underground

Name:Death... and me Author:Suiyan
Rean then continued.

'Did you see the room we checked out before? We did find one that was probably used by this Tissan guy. However, do you think it was the type of room that some young master would use? Other than the clothes that the Imperial Family members usually wear, the rest of the room was quite plain.'

Roan then said.

'Alright. You're saying that the information about Tissan being at the Energy Gathering realm is a lie, correct? That's obvious! Why would we believe everything some old geezer from the Black Market said? Still, this is the fastest way of getting what we want. If there really is danger, we can always retreat into the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm.'

Rean narrowed his eyes.

'That's not exactly what I meant. However, your point is valid. Anyway, there is one thing I would like to verify.'

'What is it?'

Rean then pointed down.

'I want to go to the floors underground. I feel like we will find our target there.'

This time, Roan became really puzzled.

'Why?'

'Because that's the most secluded place in this building. If this Tissan isn't really trash, he would definitely select a secluded place to cultivate, right? Most of the cultivators always do the same thing. Since this entire building is for him to use, he can select such a thing. Not to mention that it's easier to set up formations closer to the ground.'

Roan didn't mind.

'Let's go check then.'

Rean and Roan then looked for a passage underground. The Inner City was already quite packed, so any extra space was welcome. That being said, it was pretty common for most buildings to have one or two more floors below the surface.

Sure enough, they found another passage on the back of the building. Not only that, but it also had guards protecting the entrance. The problem was that it was closed, and it didn't seem to have any other entrance.

'Seems like you might be right. I can't sense their cultivation since I can't use my Spiritual Sense. However, I feel like that they're at least in the Middle or Late Core Formation Realm. Compared to the guards upstairs, these two are definitely much stronger.'

Rean nodded. His instincts might not be as sharp as Roan, but he wasn't blind either.

'I'm confident that I can approach the door without them noticing. But there is no way I can open it unnoticed. We have two choices. We can wait for someone to open and try to pass by them before the door closes... Or we can wait for this Tissan guy to come out and follow him. Well, that is considering that Tissan is really down there.'Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #...-and-me_%!d(string=17340518006576905)/underground_%!d(string=51508155875644821) for visiting.

Roan nodded.

'In any case, we would need to wait. Can your skill hold until then?'

'Don't worry. Now that I'm in the Core Formation Realm, I have enough Spiritual Energy to hold it for over a few hours if we don't move.'

With that, the twins began to wait outside. It wasn't before three hours and a half later that the door finally opened behind the guards.

However, the one who came out wasn't a guard. Instead, it seemed to be a worker of the building. He carried a few cleaning tools as he moved outside. Rean and Roan looked at each other before immediately moving close to the door. Just as it was about to close, Rean used his Spiritual Energy to hold it slightly open. It was just enough to fit him and Roan through.

"Hum?"

The worker noticed that he couldn't close the door for some reason.

"Did it get stuck?"

The two guards noticed it and came forward to help. Rean couldn't help but sweat a bit. After all, the closer he got to the cultivators, the easier it would be for their Spiritual Sense to notice his presence. It was all about the strength of the 'wind.' It would get stronger the closer you were to the enemy. (Check Chapter 129 to understand the 'wind' reference)

Fortunately, neither of the guards were using their Spiritual Sense at that moment. It was the same thing as before. They simply didn't think anyone would come here to find a problem with the Imperial Family. The few Spiritual Senses that Rean felt so far were basically the guards using it to talk between themselves.

Rean and Roan Quickly passed through the gap just when the guards reached the door.

*bang*

Suddenly, whatever was holding the door in place disappeared. Since the worker was using his strength to try to close the door, it suddenly slammed shut after the counterforce disappeared.

"Oh! There we go. I'll call for someone to check it later."

The guards looked at each other before shrugging their shoulders. After that, they simply went back to their positions as if nothing had happened.

Rean and Roan immediately noticed that the underground floor was completely lit. Not only that, but there wasn't a speck of dust anywhere. Without a doubt, the place had been kept clean for quite some time already.

'Bingo! Even if Tissan isn't really using this place, there is definitely something related to him here.'

Roan nodded as they began to look around. Because the building itself was quite large, the underground was the same. So they had to check area by area. In the end, there was one more floor down that they had to enter. Fortunately, there weren't any guards present in this place... or so they thought.

'Wait!'

Roan immediately stopped after Rean's call.

'What is it?'

'There's Spiritual Sense. Quite a strong one at that.'

Roan narrowed his eyes.

'For you to only have noticed it now, it means that its owner has just spread it. Did they find us?'

Rean went silent for a few seconds before answering.

'I don't think so. The owner of this Spiritual Sense is not coming in our direction. Otherwise, his Spiritual Sense would get stronger because of the 'wind' effect. However, this strength of Spiritual Sense... It's definitely above the Core Formation Realm. I would say Initial or maybe Middle Core and Soul Fusion Stage. If we move any closer, I won't be able to guarantee that we can stay hidden.'
