Chapter 1739 Eavesdropping
Due to the huge distance, the teleport formation didn’t work like the others. Usually, they activated almost instantly as long as Divine Energy was poured inside. However, this one took several minutes to do so. Eventually, natural spatial runes appeared above the formation as a silver light flashed.
However, it did not turn off like other teleport formations. Instead, it expanded until it formed something like a portal. Only then did it stabilize as the portal stayed open.
The Sect Master and all the other elders in the sect lined up in front, waiting to see who was coming. Regardless of who it was, it was definitely someone important since activating such formations was just too expensive to be used.
Sure enough, three people came out of the portal as if it wasn’t nothing, stopping only to look at the Jhiod Sect members in front of them. “Oh! If it isn’t the new Sect Master of the Jhiod Sect. Gean, am I right? You’ve ascended to the position recently, just a few hundreds of years ago.”
Gean quickly recognized the man in the center of the three people and bowed to him, replying, “That is indeed me. Welcome to our sect, Senior Yuivo. It’s our honor to receive a visit from someone of your prestige.”
Yuivo simply waved his hand in response. “There’s no need to be too formal. It was us who suddenly decided to open the spatial gate ahead of time.”
It was then that a young man beside Yuivo began to complain. “Elder Yuivo, do we really have to be here? Pay attention to the Divine Energy in the environment. It’s so dirty and sparse. I’m afraid my cultivation might be affected if I stay here for too long.”
“You’re such a disgrace.” The last person, a young woman, didn’t let the opportunity to make her companion look bad pass up. “The allied continents of the borders of the Realm of Gods are of extreme importance to the sect. But look at you, complaining after coming to their home ground. If your cultivation can go bad just because of such a small thing, you might as well leave the sect. We have no need for someone as useless as you.”
“You!” The young man looked at the woman as killing intent filled his mind.
“Enough!” However, Yuivo immediately stopped the fight between the two. “Andrile, Ramona, how long do you intend to make me look like a laughingstock in front of our allies? I don’t want to hear your bickering anymore.”
Both Andrile and Ramona were disciples of the Jamai Sect. In fact, the elders of the Jhiod Sect were quite puzzled by their presence here. After all, they could tell that those two were very young, even considering their cultivations. From what the elders of the Jhiod Sect could tell, both of them were in the Initial Stage of the Space Bending Realm.
Gean then decided to put those thoughts behind and ask the question in everyone’s minds. “There’s no need to worry about that, Elder Yuivo. However, would you mind telling me why the spatial gate was opened so soon? We weren’t prepared to receive you at all since we expected it to open only two years later.”
Yuivo nodded, saying, “Sure. However, how about inviting us for a cup of tea first?”
“Oh! Definitely!” Gean quickly nodded as he guided Yuivo and the disciples of the Jamai Sect into the Jhiod Sect. Obviously, not everyone could come, so only the top elders joined the visitors from the Jamai Sect.
Rean and Roan, who were in the secret fighting arenas, noticed that the mood in the room suddenly changed. At the moment, they were taking their break from the second fight as they always did, so they had the leeway to sense it.
Rean then looked at the elder of the Yume Clan that Philip always kept there to watch. “Elder Gigino, did something happen?”
Gigino had just taken out a Thoughts Transmission Talisman from his forehead as he had a shocked expression, saying, “Yes. It seems like the Jamai Sect has just come to our sect.”
“Jamai Sect? Did they open the teleport formation?” Rean asked back.
Gigino nodded in response. “Seems like so.”
Roan narrowed his eyes, saying, “Was there a reason for such shock? They were going to open the teleport formation anyway.”
“It’s the time,” Gigino explained. “The teleport formation shouldn’t have activated for another two years at least. Everyone is curious as to why the Jamai Sect would send someone here so soon. Besides, the people who came decided to enter the Jhiod Sect. Usually, the Jamai Sect only opens the spatial gate and gives a sign that we can use it. It’s very rare for anyone from Jamai to enter the sect unless they have something else to do.”
“I see…” Roan nodded. “Do you know who came?”
Gigino shook his head, saying, “All I know is that the elder of the Jamai Sect went to the guests’ room with his two disciples and the Sect Master. Of course, a few of the clan heads also followed to see what was happening, including our clan head Philip.”
Rean then got up and patted his clothes a little. “Well, we’ll eventually find out what’s happening as long as it involves us. I’m going ahead and start the last fight of the day.”
Roan agreed with Rean as he did the same thing. “I guess that’s the best course of action.”
Each of the twins then fought one more member of the Jhiod Sect that day before heading back to their own residence. Galato and Brimi still stayed behind as they took much longer to recover their spent energy.
Naturally, they also discussed the news.
‘Could it be that the selection will start earlier?’ Rean asked.
Roan shook his head, though. ‘I have no idea. Regardless, we’ll find that out soon.’
It was then that Sister Orb spoke. [Hehe! If you want, I can let you guys hear what’s happening in the room where they’re talking.]
