chapter 3193: not the same

foliana's mood immediately improved. -i'll hold onto that promise.-
rean had full intention of making that happen. "you can count on it." then, he changed the topic once more. diliy's issue would be dealt with later. "another thing i need to hear from you. since the inquisition hall was investigating me, that also means they went after my parents on this planet, no?"
-i guess so,- foliana confirmed. -don't forget that when i was captured back then, i was still a nobody, so i know pretty much nothing of the things that happened back then.-
rean insisted. "can you check it for me and see what happened to them? roan and i owe those two quite a lot."
-alright, give me a moment. i need to check the archives database. this is related to rifindio, after all. so the information is locked there instead of normally available in the network. i'll call you back on this number in a few minutes.- foliana accepted the request and ended the call.
that left only rean, kentucky, and karev remaining.
-how long are you intending to look into those formations? - karev asked through the call. "well, they might be dangerous, right?" rean answered straight away.
-i don't think, i'm sure, - karev gave his opinion. that's why we should leave straight away. finish whatever you have to do, and let's get out of here.-
rean's mind went back to that crack in the fragile dimensional realm. "karev, can you tell if the formations in the other planets are somehow pointing in closal's direction?"
rusbav had been there for a very long time, and the world splitting sect never managed to take it away from them. yet, with diliy's improvement, it was pretty much guaranteed they would defeat the rusbav country next time. it was a good thing that diliy was scouted away since the inquisition hall never intervenes in such affairs.
diliy left, but his friends remained. since they learned from diliy, what if one of them ended up reaching the fifth stage of sword intent? with that in mind, not only the rusbav royal family but the other twelve powers of the country joined hands and attacked it.
-in the end, the world splitting sect was destroyed, and most of its members died.- foliana concluded. -i can check here if there is any information about tomoe. but, considering the mindset of sword cultivators, chances are she fought to the very end and died there.- "sigh..." rean looked away. he didn't have intention of seeking revenge or anything like that. these kinds of events are commonplace in the world of cultivators, and the world splitting sect was just one more victim of it, nothing more, nothing less. "yes, please. check if she is still alive. let me give you some information about her to make it easier." rean then spoke about what he knew about the girl. perhaps she was still around somehow.
rean still remembers how he and roan gave tomoe two foundation establishment and core formation breakthrough pills. not only that, they also added a bunch of spirit stones to the mix. she was supposed to deliver it to their 'parents' once she brought them back to the sword splitting sect territory. not even diliy knew about it, so there was a chance their 'parents' were still fine. the only question is where they are at the moment. rean wouldn't leave the people who helped him behind, and even roan wouldn't complain about that.
-let me see...- foliana checked the werdlem network. rean's interactions with tomoe weren't known by many anyway, so she wasn't added to the archives database. foliana could check in with her credentials on the normal werdlem network.
-oh! would you look at that? she is indeed alive. didn't you say she was a sword maniac?- "so?" rean asked back.
-well, here is saying she gave up the sword. she actually created a small sect of her own just for women, and she is still their leader up to this day.-
"this..." rean and even kentucky, who only interacted with the girl momentarily back then, didn't expect such a thing. "are you sure it is the same person?" as far as they remember, tomoe didn't care about anything else in this world other than her sword. becoming a sect leader didn't seem like something tomoe would do at all.
-also...- foliana found it hard to mention the next part. -her sect is famous for its cultivation method... which involves... well... let's just say its members need a lot of love and attention...-
rean's mouth twitched. that definitely couldn't be the same tomoe.
