Chapter 1545 What's Going On
Rean knew what Roan was talking about. 'I know. The purging organization's formation will shoot through it, and we considered that it might destroy something. However, Havek's formation will hardly affect anything, so it wouldn't be a problem of destruction. Then again, we don't know which one we need to stop. Perhaps we need to stop both.'
Roan nodded, continuing where Rean left off. 'That's not all. In Havek's case, it means everyone will be able to pass through the void tunnel, not just a few chosen beings. That means our thoughts about the Upside Down World losing its fuel source might be correct in the end. We had pretty much discarded this idea before, but now it's highly possible.'
Rean couldn't help but sigh after that. 'It's one thing to fool the Formation Masters of the purging organization. Their knowledge was very limited to start with. However, there's no way Havek won't notice something wrong with his formation if I decide to do anything to it.'
Roan narrowed his eyes in response. However, it was then that he got an idea. 'Oh, that's not a problem. You just need to offer him to come with us. He doesn't care about others anyway. He won't do bad to anyone, but he wouldn't go out of his way to help anyone either. If he can escape with us, he definitely wouldn't waste his time here.'
Rean had to admit Roan was right. 'Good idea!'
"Havek, forget about this formation of yours and come with us. Roan and I have a fail-proof method to escape. Just so you know, it has nothing to do with the purging organization. This is something I found some time ago," Rean said all of a sudden.
Havek was obviously surprised to hear that. "A fail-proof method? What is it?"
Rean didn't explain, though. "I can't tell you right now. However, we can definitely bring you together. It's much better than risking your life in that journey through the void tunnel."
However, Havek couldn't accept it straight away. "I can't go with you at the moment."
"Why?" Naturally, Rean and Roan didn't expect to hear that.
Havek then explained, "Because I hate owing favors. To become Sect Leader, I didn't need to simply defeat the previous one. I also had to make an agreement with everyone else so that they could accept me. They would all go after the materials I needed for the formation, and I would bring them out with me once I was done."
Rean and Roan immediately understood after that. As mentioned before, Havek would never steal. He was too proud to do that. Since he made an agreement, he definitely would see it through. "That makes things complicated."
Havek shook his head, telling the two, "It's fine. I just said that I would bring them once the formation was ready. I've never said I would be there as well. At first, I was planning to enter the void tunnel. However, I can now simply finish the formation and let them use it. As for myself, I can use your method since it's a guaranteed escape method, right? See, not that complicated. You will just have to wait for some time."
Rean shook his head, though. "Let me be honest with you. I do indeed want to bring you out of this place. However, it's not just because we're friends. The problem is that I can't allow anyone to escape the Upside Down World."
Naturally, Havek was taken aback. "Why would you do something like that? I don't really care if the people here escape or not, but as far as I can remember, you wouldn't try to stop me from helping others."
Rean agreed with Havek, saying, "I don't like it either. I can't give you many details since even I am not sure as to what will happen. However, there's a huge possibility that something very bad will happen if I allow the people and demon beasts from this place to escape this world."
Havek knew Rean wouldn't be joking about such a thing, even though that bothered him. "Now, that's what I call complicated. I can't simply go back on my words either. What about allowing everyone to use your method? That one you didn't want to talk about."
Rean shook his head once again. "That's where the problem lies. I don't know what that thing that will happen may be. It means I can't allow the beings of the Upside Down World to escape through any methods. I will arrange for the purging organization's formation to fail."
At this point, Havek simply couldn't take it. "Alright, that's enough, Rean. Even if it's you, I can't simply accept such a lousy explanation. Something bad will happen, but you can't even tell me why you know that. As far as I'm concerned, you might simply be wrong. I won't go back on my words just because you said these things."
Rean then looked at Roan. They knew they would need to do better than that to convince Havek. 'Should I talk about the system to him?'
Roan pondered over it for a bit before asking in response, 'Do you know if Soul Binding Contracts work with spirits?'
Rean had never heard about Soul Binding Contracts being used on spirits, though. 'I have no idea. However, I do know that Havek is at least trustworthy. Didn't you see? As long as he gives his word, he will even hold himself back.'
Roan didn't know if it was true, as he wasn't as close to Havek as Rean. However, he knew they had a problem. There's no way they can tell the purging organization about this formation. In fact, if they spread the information, it might only complicate things. Everyone wanted to escape this place, after all. Also, attacking the place themselves wouldn't be of much use since Havek could simply start building a new formation. He definitely had the entire blueprint in his mind alone. Let alone the fact that the twins had lost most of their cultivation.
The twins considered the issue as the room went quiet for a moment. Eventually, Rean and Roan reached a conclusion as Rean turned back to Havek and said, "Alright, here's what's going on."
