Death... and me

"Haze it to the ground?" Rean found that unlikely. "Do you even have the strength to do that?"

Suddenly, a burst of Divine Energy came out of Logu's body, which allowed Rean to finally see her cultivation. "Elemental Transformation Realm?" Rean didn't feel any danger from it, but he was also surprised that someone with such cultivation would be living in the streets.

It turns out that Rean had always kept his Divine Sense bending skill active. Logu obviously didn't see Rean flying since Rean followed Gustav on foot. In her head, Rean would hardly be someone stronger than herself.

However, Rean didn't try to intimidate Logu with his own cultivation. Instead, he was happy to see that someone like her took her time to take care of the homeless kids on the street. Cultivators spent almost all their time cultivating or trying to get cultivation resources. Let alone someone at Logu's level. Solidarity? Such a thing was pretty much nonexistent in the Realm of Gods.

Rean then smiled as he told her, "Lady Logu, I quite like you."

Logu didn't feel the least bit happy about that. "Cut the crap, and let's go. I won't let you escape. You better bring me to where the other kids are located. I'm true to my words, understood? I will destroy this sect of yours depending on how it turns out."

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "That would be very hard to accomplish."

Logu snorted as she replied, "Do you think I can't?"

"That's not it," Rean answered. "It's just that I only have the materials to start building it. How can you haze something to the ground that hasn't been built yet? It's already in the ground to start with. Hahaha!"

Unfortunately, those words didn't make Logu any happier. "So you really are fooling the kids, huh?" Logu's Spiritual Energy increased as she was about to attack Rean, depending on his answer.

However, Rean suddenly extended his hand to her and said, "Shall I show you?"

"What do you mean?" Naturally, that action puzzled Logu.

However, before Logu could react, Rean's hand grabbed her own. At the very next moment, Rean, Gustav, and Logu were already in the skies, flying out of the city.

"Ah!" Only then did Logu understand how foolish she looked in front of Rean. "Y-You can fly!" She couldn't tell his cultivation level before because of Rean's Divine Sense bending skill. Even though it became less effective the closer one was, Rean was still an entire cultivation level above Logu, so it wasn't hard to hide.

Rean nodded in response. "I'm in the Transition Realm, after all. It would be weird if I couldn't, don't you think?"

Logu could finally tell Rean's cultivation since he was holding her hand. Well, there was also the fact that Rean allowed her to see it.

"Yayyy!!!" Gustav, on the other hand, loved being able to fly again. "This is so fun!"

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed in response. "It's like I told you, Gustav. If you train hard, one day, you will be able to fly as well."

"Really?" Gustav's eyes lit up.

"But of course!" Rean then looked at Logu and said, "Isn't that right, 'grampa' Logu?"

Logu bitterly smiled and nodded. It's not like she had much choice at the moment. Even though they were in the city, the guards would hardly come out of their way to stop a Transition Realm cultivator. This was a small city at the corner of a continent, just like Cosec City in the past. Transition Realm was already at the peak level for people in this place. Probably only the City Lord and a few big powers in the city had experts of that level.

Rean didn't leave the city, though. Instead, he just went to a corner where there weren't many people who passed by. "Alright, we arrived."

"Arrived?" Logu was taken aback to hear that. Other than a few rundown houses, she couldn't see anything else. "Are you going to build your sect here?"

"Of course not!" Rean answered.

Gustav, on the other hand, wanted to tell the other kids about the adventure he just had. "Uncle Rean, can I go back already?"

Rean didn't mind. "Sure."

*Vup!*

Suddenly, Gustav disappeared right in front of Logu, much to her shock. Her Divine Sense had been active all this time. However, she still couldn't tell where Gustav went at all. "W-Where did he go?"

Rean then took a Soul Binding Contract from his spatial ring and told her, "Here. If you sign it, I can show you everything."

Logu obviously knew very well what that thing was. "Do you expect me to become your slave? I would rather die!"

Rean didn't want such a thing, though. "What are you talking about? Have you even read the clauses of the contract? Take a look first before coming to a conclusion."

Indeed, Logu had not checked it before. Eventually, she reluctantly took the contract from Rean's hand and read the information inside. "This..." As one could imagine, it was the same contract as everyone else signed before. It only asked for loyalty to the sect and allowed anyone who joined it to leave anytime they wanted. The only point was that one could never speak about the sect to other people unless Rean or Roan allowed them to.

Rean then explained, "It's that simple. If you don't like what you see, I will simply let you leave. Let's be honest, if I wanted to kill you, you know I could. With that said, do you have anything to lose?"

Logu still had her suspicions. After all, perhaps she would be used in some experiments and things like that. Then again, it was true that Rean could kill her if he wanted. "I shouldn't have left my corner today..." She then signed it with her blood. She had to admit she was at least curious about it.

Rean once again extended his hand after seeing everything went well. "Well, shall we go?"

Logu took a deep breath and nodded in response. "Alright, show me."
