Chapter 328 - Leading

Rean and Roan then went to see Latalia soon after.

"Senior Latalia, I believe you know what to do, right?"

Latalia bitterly smiled as she nodded. These Umbral Sect members that came after them were here because of her nephew. It wasn't just a problem with Rean and Roan. Having someone acting as an informant to the Umbral Sect inside the Dalamu Sect territory would not be allowed. Even if she doesn't do anything, the Dalamu Sect will.

Of course, Dalamu Sect members weren't idiots. There are definitely many others who act as spies for all the other sects and Royal Family. Still, it was one thing to know that they exist and knowing who they are.

"Don't worry, I'm dealing with it. In any case, thank you."

Rean smiled.

"There is no reason to thank us, you helped everyone get what they needed, after all."

Latalia shook her head.

"That's not it. I'm thanking you for stopping the entire Amakal Family from taking the blame because of my idiotic nephew. If it was in any other circumstance, the entire family would be affected. However, you are only focusing on Juan alone. That's already an immense favor."

Roan didn't seem to care, but Rean felt a little embarrassed that his intention was seen through. Indeed, he had asked Tiria and Juvian to not do anything to the Amankal family. After all, there was no way Roan would raise such a request.

"Ahem... that was nothing. By the way, you also got your own reward during this trip. What did you ask the Laan City elders?"

Latalia smiled as she winked at the twins.

"That's a secret."

Rean laughed out loud.

"Hahaha! Well, I guess that's to be expected."

Rean then extended his hand to Latalia.

"Senior Latalia, until next time."

Latalia answered his handshake.

"I hope it won't be too long. Oh, right! Don't worry about the Serene Blue Jade. I'll send it to you once I get everything settled back in Tamadol City."

Rean smiled as Roan merely nodded.

After Latalia left, only Rovan remained.

"Senior Rovan, it looks like you are quite satisfied with what you got."

Rovan laughed as he nodded.

"Indeed, I am. I got a cultivation technique for my granddaughter. Since I'm her grandfather, I know all her aptitudes from top to bottom, so Laan City's elders got one very suitable for her. I was just waiting for the sects to finish their businesses so that I could leave as well."

Rean and Roan nodded. They knew already that Rovan did everything for his granddaughter. His age was quite advanced, and he had no hopes of advancing anymore.

"Well, I wish her good luck."

Rovan then scratched the back of his head before asking.

"Would it be too much to ask you two to give her some help when she joins the sect? I intend to have her take the Sect Exam next year."

Roan didn't say anything since he didn't want to waste time. As for Rean, that was up to him.

Rean then narrowed his eyes before saying.

"Senior Rovan, the truth is that I can't help her much since it goes against the sect rules. If she wants to join the sect, she must take the exam and pass it through her own effort. But if it is something simple like helping her with her equipment or finding a suitable mission, then I don't mind giving her a hand."

Rovan nodded, satisfied.

"That will be more than enough. With the cultivation technique I got for her, she will definitely pass the exam next year."

Rean accepted that since he didn't mind helping a little. Rovan then told him how she looked like and her name. He also said that he would be there when the sect exam started next year. Only after that did he finally depart.

Following that, the twins returned to Zuan and Droman's side.

"Did you finish everything?"

The twins nodded.

"Very well, let's go back."

Zuan quickly enveloped the twins and Droman with his Spiritual Energy before bringing them away.

On the way back to the sect, Zuan looked at Roan before asking.

"I kept my Spiritual Sense spread the entire time I stayed there. When I revealed that I wanted to conquer part of Cassen, you were the only one who didn't seem surprised by that, though. Did you expect that?"

Roan looked at Zuan and simply nodded.

"That was the only plausible choice when you consider the situation between countries and each one's powers. None of the sects would give up part of their territory, let alone the Royal Family. Cassen was the only possibility if you wanted to keep the Laan City members here."

Neither Rean nor Droman seemed to be surprised by that, though.

However, Zuan didn't know Roan well, so he couldn't help but sigh in praise. Of course, he knew that Roan might be lying to catch his attention, but his instinct told him that Roan wasn't lying.

"You two, if everything goes as planned, we will begin a battle against the Cassen Country since it is the easiest one to take. However, battles at the Nascent Soul Realm and above are quite rare. Only at the very end are we going to step in. That being said, most of the time will be a war fought by those at the lower level. You don't need to worry about the Umbral Sect using this opportunity to get rid of you two, so you should take this chance to hone your skills."

Rean and Roan nodded. They had participated in a war before for a small period of time, so they knew how it worked. Just like Zuan said, high-level cultivators were not present there.

"We understand, Ancestor."

Zuan nodded with a satisfied expression.

Rean then looked at Roan before saying through their Soul Connection.

'Well, that's a good opportunity for Calina and Malaka. We can have those two participating in increasing their level, especially Calina, who needs it more.'

Roan agreed with him.

'Yes. There is one special thing that I will need Calina to get used to. I was thinking about starting to train her in that in a year or two. But since this war is coming earlier, I can move my plans ahead.'

Rean couldn't help but ask.

'What is it that you need her to do?'

Roan replied straightforwardly.

'Commanding.'
