DEATH… AND ME

her chance.
Also, there is nothing bad in getting the favor of the imperial bloodline if she ’s still alive. ”

Roan ’s expression got darker and darker until finally…

”Fine! She planned to help Malaka, after all.
It would leave a bad taste if we didn ’t do the same.
However, don ’t keep your hopes up too much. ”

Malaka smiled brightly after hearing that.

”Thank you, Roan! ”

Roan simply nodded with his cold face and poured his Spiritual Sense inside the pendant.
According to Sister Orb, the way to use it was to use one ’s Spiritual Sense to feel the location, and not really the blue light itself.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #…-and-me_17340518006576905/distress-signal_50417987949224375 for visiting.

”Full speed ahead, let ’s go. ”

It turned out that Rean ’s group did not enter the cave in front of them but moved in another direction.
Just another 4 kilometers away, they found another Decaying Cave entrance and rushed inside.
They also noticed another thing.
The Decaying Energy concentration began to rise even more.

—

Going back in time, Calina ’s group was already inside the Decaying Cave. 

”It ’s just like the reports said, this Decaying Fog is a lot more annoying once we get inside. ”

Other than Valeu, Calina had two more protectors, a man and a woman.
The man was called Silo Lavil while the woman was Erna Taran.
As Roan mentioned, they were both at the Peak of the Core Formation Realm, just like Valeu.
One didn ’t need to be a genius to understand that they were also part of the Imperial Family ’s subordinate clans.

”Princess, be sure to keep your Spiritual Energy barrier up all the time.
If you see that you can ’t hold anymore, take one of the Anti-Decaying Energy Pills. ”

”There is no need to worry.
This is not enough to force my hand yet. ”

While they moved further in the cave, Calina took out a Blue Pendant from her chest and looked at it.
This one was identical to the one Malaka had.
Seeing that it had no reaction, Calina sighed.
The pendant showing no response meant that Malaka wasn ’t in danger.
However, she also knew about the pendant ’s range limit, so it might just be because she was too far from Malaka.

”Princess, is there something wrong? ”

Calina looked at Erna and shook her head.

”No, everything is fine. ”

Valeu, on the other hand, knew very well why she was looking at the Blue Pendant.
He was the only one that knew Calina had given her other Pendant to Malaka.
However, he didn ’t tell Calina nor Erna and Silo. 

At some point, Valeu took out a jade slip and put it on his forehead.
After that, he told the others.

”Right side in the next cave division. ”

The Imperial Family really knew the Profound Abyss better than anyone.
Their maps were very complete, giving them an enormous advantage.
Few had mapped this place as well as them.
Of course, no one complained about that.
After all, this place was prepared by the Imperial Family themselves.
If they wanted to, they could have kept it closed for their personal use, but they didn ’t.
That being said, everyone was already delighted to be able to participate.
Besides, they could draw their own maps while they were at it.

Erna, Silo, and Calina also had the same maps, of course.

Valeu then stopped for a second and looked into the other entrance.

Silo noticed that, of course.

”What is it? Did you find anything wrong? ”

Valeu narrowed his eyes before saying.

”I think I heard something…
You three go ahead while I go take a look into this other path.
I don ’t want us to be ambushed from behind. ”

Erna and Silo had no reason to doubt him, so they just nodded and proceeded forward with Calina.
After all, they already planned their route, so Valeu wouldn ’t get lost.

Valeu saw the three of them disappearing in the fog a few meters away.
The concentration of Decaying Energy was so high that the visibility of the n.a.k.e.d eye didn ’t go as far as ten meters.
Obviously, one ’s Spiritual Sense became more affected here.
Even with his peak Core Formation Realm cultivation, Valeu ’s Spiritual Sense couldn ’t go past fifty meters either.
Still, he didn ’t seem to care about it.

It was then that he took another jade slip from his bag and smiled.
It was also a map.
However, this one was different from Calina ’s group.
He checked the contents of the map and nodded.
Soon after, he took another item from his bag that looked like a black stone.
It had similar energy as the Decaying Fog, but several times more powerful.

*Crash*

Valeu then crushed it with his hand, which released that energy in the form of fog.
However, it was white instead.
Using his Spiritual Energy, Valeu made the white fog enter the path that Calina and the others went in.

’Sorry, Princess.
That ’s just how things are. ’
