chapter 3208 prepare a trap
tomoe was visibly distressed while telling those lies. however, dixia on her side kept cheering for her. it was for her sake and for the sect's sake as well. last but not least, tomoe could feel rean and kentucky's spiritual sense in the distance, this time outside the sect as she asked. "it pains me that i can't come back for a while, but i trust you can all defend our sect in the meantime. be careful; men often think to be above us, but you all know better. none of us will settle down. do not let any men take a position in our sacred grounds. understood?!" tomoe asked in the end.
"yes, sect master!" all the girls answered at the same time; they were all captivated by tomoe's presence. she was the pillar of that sect and widely popular among these girls. if she said she couldn't be back for a while, then this opportunity must be worth it, and they were all happy for her.
tomoe nodded, still feeling somewhat guilty. "then, the one who will be in charge of the sect during my absence is elder cleficia. elder cleficia, please."
cleficia, a saint realm initial stage female, stepped forward. she was one of the first disciples in the sect, and it wouldn't be wrong to say she helped build it with tomoe. "sect master, be at ease. with me here, this sect will not fall unless i'm dead."
"i'm counting on you, elder cleficia," tomoe nodded, satisfied.
the talk continued for a little longer as tomoe took the chance to answer various questions regarding cultivation to the girls of the sect. finally, tomoe bid farewell to everyone, leaving the stage for cleficia to finish the arrangements. outside the sect, rean and kentucky waited, knowing tomoe knew about their presence. sure enough, a few minutes later, tomoe arrived in front of the two. "at least you know not to come inside. still, the fact i could feel your spiritual senses showed that my sect's anti-spiritual sense formation wasn't of much use."
rean assured her. "don't worry. the method i used to pierce through your formation isn't something anyone on this planet can use. your formations here are quite simple, but they are efficient. unless you are dealing with a transition realm expert, they should work just fine against the rest."
meanwhile, rean went to the room where jue was supposed to meet dissandra. dissandra only appeared an hour later, though. she had to stay in the sect because of the commotion tomoe's departure caused. "uh? why are these two?" she asked, seeing that rean and kentucky were also there.
jue quickly explained. "these are the two who will help us leave this planet."
"okay, we don't have much time here," rean intervened. "you two will feel a pulling force acting on your bodies. do not act against it."
"can we trust him?" dissandra was obviously suspicious. everything happened too fast, and the fact that the sect master suddenly decided to take a leave raised her doubts even more. that seemed too much of a coincidence.
jue grabbed her hand, smiling. "trust me, they are fine. they don't need to trick us. with their strength, they could wipe out this city on their own. they don't have to go through this kind of trouble to get us."
dissandra nodded, not doubting jue's words. she couldn't see rean and kentucky's cultivations at all.
rean once again connected to the dimensional realm, sending the two inside. now there were only karev, foliana, tony, and diliy remaining.
"where to now?" kentucky asked.
"where else?" rean smiled, already preparing the formation material in the dimensional realm. "we are going to foliana's inquisition hall. i need to prepare a little trap for my 'master' diliy."
