Chapter 3109  Center of Attention

Kuslau continued. 'A Soul Binding Contract of the Second Stratum is something you can only get from the Werdlem Empire Inquisition Hall. It works even on those at the Transition Realm. It's just that they are hard to acquire, so I've never seen one being used. However, that's not what is terrifying about them.'

'No?' Rean got curious.

Kuslau shook his head and continued. 'No. What is terrifying about them is that you don't need to set up any rules. Once you sign it, you lose your own sense of self. For the duration of the contract, you are pretty much a mindless puppet who will do everything asked of you. You could say it is more like a slave contract than anything else. Obviously, that also means that during its duration, you will not hide anything. Even your deepest secrets will become bare as you will speak of them of your own of your own volition.'

Rean didn't quite like it. He obviously had some experience with such type of slave methods... although they were seals. Back then, Rean and Roan pretended to be slaves. The system had put the seals on the dummy souls, of course. 'Can they do that...?'

Kuslau nodded. 'That man is Inquisitor Jufere. If an Inquisitor of the Werdlem Empire Inquisition Hall tells you to do something, you will do this something. The Werdlem Empire is absolute! Your position matters not. It's as simple as that. It's just that they rarely ever get involved with any of the world's affairs.'

If Kuslau recognized the man, then Dancio obviously did as well. "In-Inquisitor Jufere... Is that really necessary? It is not like someone from outside the planet is that big of a deal, especially kids..."

Jufere brought the contract forward. "Usually, that would be the case, but that's only when such a move to the planet is previously reported. There are no records of the arrival of these kids, which goes against all rules. Above all, the main problem is that they managed to enter our planet without anyone noticing. Dancio, sign the contract and speak everything you know. This is an order from the Werdlem Empire!"

Rean finally understood. 'So that's the issue... The fact you and I appeared on this planet, and no one knows how... The Werdlem Empire truly has a very firm grasp of its territories, even on a mortal planet like this one,' he told Roan.

Roan couldn't agree more. 'Indeed. Of course, the Werdlem Empire might just have a special extra interest in this planet as well. After all, we have the Charybdis Queen here. I always found it weird. If the Primordial Beasts are the main reason for the Werdlem Empire Bubble to work, how come the Charybdis Queen was left unattended? Perhaps she has never been truly left alone.'

Kuslau looked at Rean, sighing. 'Sorry, Rean. There is no way we can protect you regarding this problem.'

15:31

Rean smiled and began to walk back into Dancio's residence. 'Don't worry, Master. How long does that contract last?'

Kuslau looked at Rean, sighing. 'Sorry, Rean. There is no way we can protect you regarding this problem.'

Rean smiled and began to walk back into Dancio's residence. 'Don't worry, Master. How long does that contract last?'

Kuslau didn't understand why Rean was entering Dancio's residence but answered anyway. 'Like I said, I've never seen one before. But as far as I know, it only lasts a year.'

Rean nodded, entering the Anti-Spiritual Sense formation of Dancio's Residence. Kuslau was just behind him. 'It is fine. Master, I will take my leave now. Truth be told, you don't know much about me, so it isn't a big problem. Don't try to hide what you know, Master. Tell them everything. I'll be just fine.'

Kuslau got even more puzzled. 'You are talking like you could leave at any moment. Can you really escape this place? We are surrounded.'

Rean obviously could. 'Don't worry. I definitely can. I would bring you with me, but I don't think you would want to abandon senior Dancio in the meantime. One more thing... will it affect Dancio's chances of becoming the next Clan Head?'

Kuslau sighed. 'Obviously. Getting into trouble with the Werdlem Empire Inquisition Hall is never a good thing. Willot and the other elders vying for the seat of Clan Head will definitely use this opportunity to kick Dancio while he is down. And yes, you were right. I would not abandon my master.'

'I understand,' Rean couldn't do much about that. 'Don't worry. I will make up for you two in the future. It doesn't seem like either of you will be killed. For now, thanks for all the cover you gave me, master.' Right after, Rean entered another room of Dancio's residence and closed the door.

Kuslau got puzzled. He knew his master's residence pretty well, and the room Rean entered was just a storeroom. There wasn't an exit there or anything like that. Just as he was about to open the door and check inside...

*Boom!*

The roof of Dancio's Residence was suddenly torn apart, and the skies came into full view. The one who did that was Dancio himself. However, his eyes were lifeless. There was no individual will in his mind anymore. For the next year, he would be a puppet of the Werdlem Empire Inquisition Hall. With the residence's roof, the Anti-Spiritual Sense Formation was removed.

Jufere looked down, having heard everything there was to know about Rean and Roan from the mindless Dancio. He even heard about how Rean 'learned' the Fifth Stage of Sword Intent from Diliy of the World Splitting Sect. He definitely intended to pay a visit to Diliy later, but since he also heard Rean was here now, he had to capture him.

Yet, all he found were the residence's workers, Dancio's subordinates, and Kuslau. As for Rean, he was nowhere to be seen. *Zush!*

Jufere appeared by Kuslau's side, his expression dark. "Where is him?"

Kuslau felt like crying. "He entered this room... and I was about to enter to check... when the roof suddenly disappeared. Somehow, he disappeared together with the roof."

Seeing Kuslau's cultivation, Jufere didn't spend an expensive Soul Binding Contract of the Second Stratum. Saint Realm was still affected by the normal contract, so he had Kuslau sign it and tell everything he knew. But in the end, there was truly nothing Kuslau knew about how Rean escaped.
