Death… And Me

Chapter 1292 - Is There A Problem?

Hakzuax looked at one of his subordinates before asking, "Where\'s Rean?"

The guy immediately answered, "He said that something came up and he had to leave to help his brother. He\'ll be back in a day or two."

"What?!" Hakzuax was taken aback. "Why the hell didn\'t you tell me?"

The soldier looked at Hakzuax in confusion, saying in response, "But we never held anyone by force before. It was you who said that if anyone wanted to leave, just let them go as we don\'t have time to care about every single person."

Hakzuax felt like punching himself after hearing that. Indeed, it was him who said that. Even though healing cultivators were the minority, there were still loads of them when taking the size of this war into consideration. He and his subordinates obviously couldn\'t take care of each one of them. Otherwise, they would lose way too much time that could be used to heal more injured cultivators.

"Fuck! His brother is one of the cultivators who\'s fighting. I can\'t let him die on the frontlines! How long has it been since he left?"

"Three hours, more or less," the soldier replied.

Somewhere close to one of the teleport formations that led to the front line, Rean suddenly appeared by Roan\'s side. Obviously, he used the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to get there straight away. It\'s just that Roan went to a corner where no one could see anything to let Rean come out.

When Roan returned to his division, Tixa obviously noticed Rean\'s presence. "This... are you brothers?" Anyone would be able to tell that due to their identical features. The only difference was their hair colors.

Roan nodded, saying, "He is."

Rean then greeted Tixa. "Hello! My ice block of a brother said that you guys needed some help during the next mission, so I came from the healing grounds to give all of you a hand."

Tixa was curious as to how Rean reached this place since everything was controlled by the army. However, she decided to not ask anything since their situation wasn\'t very good right now. It\'s just that she didn\'t know if an Initial Stage Saint could do much for their group, as Roan seemed to think. "Fine! I don\'t know how you got here, nor do I care. Let me ask, do you know what\'s about to happen?"

Rean nodded, saying in response, "Are we going to undertake a sui-"

"Shut up!" Tixa immediately closed Rean\'s mouth before he could finish his question. That obviously caught the attention of the other cultivators of their division. Seeing that, Tixa immediately came with a follow-up. "The missions\' details are secret until we reach our striking point. That\'s to prevent spies inside our division from passing information to the enemy, so don\'t say anything else."

No one found it strange as that happened many times before. They wouldn\'t know anything until they finally got to the location of their objective. They were only curious as to why Rean would know that since he wasn\'t even part of their division. But then again, it was obvious that Rean and Roan were brothers, and Roan was second in command. Although it looked somewhat wrong, they didn\'t complain.

"Tixa, your teleport is ready," a soldier at the teleport grounds said sometime later. There was no lack of teleport formations capable of sending people to every possible place at the frontlines. They were just about to take one that would deliver them close to the canyon they would use.

"Alright, everyone. Let\'s go!" Tixa immediately stepped on the formation, and so did her 3500 or so members forming their division. Once everyone got on, the soldier activated the formation, and soon, everyone disappeared in a flash of silver light.

A few moments later, a man came flying to the teleport formations, hoping to find Rean there. Unfortunately, Hakzuax was too late. Rean was already gone. "Fuck! You better come back alive!" He wanted to go after him, but he had too many things to take care of. The worst part was that he couldn\'t really obligate Rean to do anything as Rean wasn\'t really part of the army but just a mere volunteer. He could only wait for him to come back.

Roan\'s division immediately heard the sounds of battle coming from far in the distance when they arrived on the other side of the teleport formation. A few hundred meters from them, they could also see the canyon that was mentioned in the orders, and there was a man waiting for them there.

Tixa recognized the guy and narrowed her eyes. "That\'s the central army\'s vice commander, Lui Tivon."

Lui knew the importance of this ambush through the canyon, so he had to make sure that Tixa\'s group was here to execute the mission. "You\'re just in time. Good! Here, take it." Lui then passed a jade slip to Tixa with a map of the canyon they were going to trek. "We marked down all the locations where the scouts were located. You will have to deal with them as you move forward. The central army and the other Dark Element division are ready to attack, waiting for your distraction. You better not fail this mission."

Tixa nodded and gave them an order. "Everyone, enter the canyon."

Without saying anything, everyone jumped inside, leaving only Tixa behind.. Tixa then looked at Lui with a dark expression. Lui obviously noticed that and asked, "Is there a problem?"
