'Oh-ho...' Rean could only think about one thing that could make that possible, their Circuitry Teleport Formation. 'So, are you going to teleport them away randomly? Isn't that a bit too risky? Because they aren't us, there's no way for us to make them appear near each other if not through sheer luck.'
Roan shook his head, though. 'Teleport them? That would be useless. The guys keeping an eye on us here definitely have Divine Senses spread out much further away than just a thousand kilometers, which is the limit of our teleport formation. What I intend to do is disguise the two as sect members. We haven't really tried to run away for over two decades, so I doubt they think we'll let our kids run away.'
Rean understood. 'I see... with my Light Element and your makeup skills, it should be easy to make them look like some of our sect members. Fortunately, our sect members can go around and fight the demon beasts of this territory, so it should be a good excuse as well.'
'Correct,' Roan agreed with Rean. 'By the way, they won't be the only ones leaving, you know? We need to leave as well. It's about time.'
Rean knew what Roan was talking about. 'Indeed. After over two decades, it's a good time for us to leave. I already taught the demon beasts and the other Formation Masters all they need to know about the Circuitry Formations. With Havek's help on the other side of the communication system, they can build the rest on their own. Not to mention there's also Qia.'
In any case, Rean had one doubt. 'But... are you sure you want to leave them behind? I mean, will it work well? It worries me as much as it does with our kids.'
'We can't bring Calina and Qia with us, that's for sure,' Roan added.
The twins were planning to go to the Minokawa Race's territory. Or, to be more specific, they wanted to go to the Floating Islands of Time. According to the information they had, that's where they could find the next Universe Foundation Fragment. That was the last one they knew in the Realm of Gods.
At the moment, the twins knew of the existence of nine out of the fourteen fragments they needed to recover. Three were obviously with them, while the fourth was supposed to be on the islands. As for the last five, they were not in the Realm of Gods. Of course, they didn't know the location of the last five, so it was possible that they were either in the Realm of Gods or not.
Sure, they could put the girls inside the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm to keep them safe while they explored outside. However, the girls definitely wouldn't accept idling by the side, just watching them. Since that was the case, they might as well leave Calina and Qia behind. The same applied to Roan's disciples, Zuo and Luan.
As for someone taking them as hostages, it was a different situation from their kids. The idea was for the demon beasts to keep them close instead. Qia already knew everything Rean did, so she could take his place just like Havek on the other side of the line. After all these years, it became pretty obvious that Rean had taught her as much as the others and maybe even a little more. She was too important to be used like that once Rean was gone.
Last but not least, they couldn't tell the girls about their plan to leave the sect's territory. If they did, the girls would absolutely follow them. This was the Dragon Race's territory, after all. With that, it was also the place where the demon beasts kept the most protected. It was different from when they didn't even know where the girls and Roan's disciples were located. They were absolutely sure the demon beasts would keep them safe since they could use them to attract the twins back later after they disappeared.
However, Rean was still worried about that. What if the demon beasts threatened to torture the girls unless the twins came back? That was definitely possible.
Roan understood Rean's concern and explained, 'I know what you want to say, but we don't need to worry. That's because we'll let Placake himself know that we'll leave and make a deal with him.'
'What?!' Rean was taken aback. 'I thought that was the last thing we wanted to happen. If we tell him we'll leave, he'll definitely lock us down. He's the leader of the demon beast races, you know? All he did in the past was for the sake of acquiring my knowledge.'
'Convincing him should, in fact, be easier than you think,' Roan answered. 'We will simply leave a letter to him, and that should be more than enough.'
Rean was confused when he heard that. 'Leave a letter to him? So it wouldn't be a deal face to face, huh? Alright, and what would you write in that letter? What could convince him to keep the girls, Luan, and Zuo safe while we're gone? Also, there are the sect disciples. We can't bring the sect with us since it's impossible to hide the fact that the sect disappeared. Not to mention that I would prefer to leave the sect here as it's the perfect place for our sect disciples to cultivate and train. The demon beasts might use the sect members against us instead.'
'Hehe... we'll just tell the truth, that's all.' Roan had a faint smile on his face as he said that.
Rean didn't know what Roan meant by that, but he seemed quite confident. Rean was already used to Roan's plans and knew they worked. If he was that certain, that meant it would most likely work. 'You do know that Qia and Calina will hate us for doing it, right?'
'They can hate us as much as they want,' Roan didn't mind. 'Before, we simply didn't know what had happened to them. Now we know, and we can guarantee they'll be fine. That's the only important point.'
