Death… And Me Chapter 1249: Who Killed Them?

Chapter 1249: Who Killed Them?

In the end, Liana and Tiffany nodded in agreement. "Don't worry. As long as we ask them, they won't say anything. Consider it as payment for helping us."

"Are you sure?" Roan asked. "It would be better if you make them sign a Soul Binding Contract as well. After all, not only did we enter the mausoleum first, but we were also the only ones to come out alive of that place."

Liana shook her head in response. "You don't understand the connections that the Tenke Country cultivators have with each other. We trust each other, simple as that. I can guarantee you that nothing will happen."

Roan couldn't pick a lie in Liana or Tiffany's words, so he only nodded in response. "Alright then."

"Should we make our way out?" Rean asked.

Roan nodded but warned everyone. "Yes. However, first, check your bodies with your Divine Senses and Soul Power. Rimari found us because of that, so Gille might do the same thing."

"Hmph!" Tiffany didn't seem to care. "His Blood Path Sect isn't any stronger than our Tenke Country. I want to see him try something when we come out."

Rean could not help but say in response to her words, "It's not about power, but about becoming targets. They might connect us to what happened to the mausoleum, so it's better to prevent mishaps. Just check your body, okay?"

"Fine." Fortunately, Tiffany relented. 

This time, however, there wasn't any mark on their group that they could find. They even checked the Divine Stones they took from Granto and the others, but nothing could be found. Sister Orb also said that she couldn't feel any formation in them.

"Good. Let's head out." Roan then accessed the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and took out a certain sleeping bird.

Seeing that, Rean shook his head. Kentucky definitely wasn't unconscious anymore. Well, he was... it's just that his unconsciousness wasn't caused by the skeleton's Divine Energy pressure but because... he fell asleep.

*Bang!*

Roan then kicked the Demon Bird, who woke up in a flash. "What?! What?! Who's attacking?!"

Rean patted the Minokawa, saying, "No one's attacking. Everything was over while you slept. Now then, make yourself useful and bring us out of the Demising Catacombs."

"Oh... Okay..." Kentucky nodded and called everyone to jump on his back before taking flight once again. Rean also gave him a full explanation of everything that happened through Divine Sense. At the same time, he spread his Light and Divine Sense bending skill, making his group disappear in the air.

The Demising Catacombs were supposed to last an entire month. However, the huge earthquake caused by the skeleton's awakening turned everything upside down. Outside, many cultivators began to come out, afraid that they might fall unconscious again. The Demising Catacombs definitely wasn't a place for a cultivator to 'sleep.'

Naturally, they told the elders outside about what happened. Unfortunately, there was a problem. The formation sealing the Demising Catacombs prevented anyone above the Elemental Transformation Realm from entering. With that said, Tiramisu sent a message back to the Sacred Land, requesting the access token to pa.s.s through the seal.

It was during his time waiting for it that Roan's group finally came out of the Demising Catacombs. Obviously, they kept their appearances the same as they entered it. Liana exited the place with her original appearance, while Roan changed his back to the fake face.

Rean, on the other hand, wasn't with their group when they entered the catacombs, so he separated from the group, telling them he would do something else. The truth was that after Roan, Liana, and Tiffany disappeared in the distance, he entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. After all, he wasn't within the groups that entered it at first, so it would be weird if he suddenly left.

Tiffany didn't mind it as Liana was part of her Tenke Kingdom. She remained on Kentucky's back when they left the danger zone. 

They weren't the only ones coming out, but the elders of the Sacred Land still asked them if they knew something. Obviously, they pretended to be oblivious to it. 

It didn't take long for the access token to be teleported there, though. Not only that, but many more elders of the Sacred Land also came out to investigate. They used the special token, which allowed those above the Elemental Transformation Realm to finally get inside. Together with them, many elders from other countries followed. After all, the Demising Catacombs was sustained with their combined efforts. They had the right to it. The elders took the opportunity to find the rest of the partic.i.p.ants and send them out of the catacombs as well. 

Roan's group wanted to return to the Sacred Land, but the elders who stayed outside kept them waiting there. They wanted to account for all cultivators to see if they found anything.

Naturally, Gille was there as well. Roan's reappearance had caught his interest, although he couldn't confirm if that one was Roan or not. Even if he was sure, he couldn't act in this place, so it was useless.

However, what truly bothered him was how his top disciples from this generation didn't appear. There were still many partic.i.p.ants inside, but he still found it too much of a coincidence. As time pa.s.sed, the partic.i.p.ants continued to appear until finally, one of his subordinates came out of the Demising Catacombs. "Sect Master, we found some of their corpses. It seems like Granto's team is totally dead. Not only them, but many top disciples from all powers died inside."

"What?!" Gille was shocked to hear that. Granto's group was very strong. Not to mention the life-saving treasures some of them had in their possession, like Granto and Rimari. "How could that be...?"

The subordinate then told him about the mausoleum. Sure enough, the elders found that place, which wasn't marked in any of the records of the Sacred Land before. It was a complete surprise that it appeared right now. Unfortunately, everyone close to that place died... or so they thought after seeing the corrupted bodies at the mausoleum's entrance. Nevertheless, the impressive part was the next piece of news. "From what I saw, Granto, Clincks, Erbasxe, Hedoi, and Kluo were all killed during the time they were unconscious. They didn't look like they were killed by the Dark Element there, but rather they died before then."

Gille gritted his teeth after hearing that. Wasn't that just blatant humiliation? Then again, who killed them?
