Chapter 1979 Can’t Have Been Planned Ahead

The twins quickly arrived at the meeting hall, where the clan master and the elders were waiting. Obviously, Fagund was there as well. "Gean, Doan! Come, come! Let me introduce you to everyone."

"Clan head, elder, these are the two devils I was talking about. They can bend space even though they are still in the Late Stage of the Void Tempering Realm! Their Soul Power is also off the charts!"

Fagund then pointed at the man at the center, telling the two, "That's the Light Devil Clan Master, Rui. He just so happens to be my great-grandfather."

Looking at the devils in the area, most of them looked more like demon beasts or humanoids than devils. Few had horns, and the majority didn't have the iconic red eyes of the devils, just like Fagund. They were all similar to Fagund, more attuned to Light Element than Dark Element itself. Nevertheless, they were still devils. They were different from the angel Rean and Roan had met in the past.

The clan master, especially, was one of the few devils with the most human-like appearance. "Hello, Senior Rui. Fagund here asked for our help during the next Underworld Soul Guide Contest."

Rui narrowed his eyes after hearing that before his power began to rise. Following that, six wings appeared on his back. Those wings were just like Fagund's, with several black feathers among the mostly white feathers. Dark Element still tried to gather because of those feathers, but Rui's Light Element Affinity made it look like the Dark Element was trying to harm his body instead.

The twins felt Rui's gaze and could tell that he was examining their entire bodies, trying to find something out of the ordinary. Rui was one of the Elder Devils of the Underworld, so his check would be the ultimate test of Rean's body transformation abilities. If even he didn't notice that their devil forms were fake, then no one would.

"You seem to be a little different from normal devils, although the differences are very subtle." Unfortunately, he did notice something.

"We were born in the Realm of Gods, so I guess we are a little different from devils born in the Underworld." Rean quickly spoke an excuse he had thought long time ago.

Rui got close to them and continued to look for suspicious traits. Yet, the rest seemed to be just like any other devils. "I guess that makes sense."

Rean and Roan mentally sighed in relief for a second. Unfortunately, Rui wasn't just convinced yet. "I heard the reports from Fagund and checked your cultivation. You're way more talented than most devils. How come you were born in the Realm of Gods? Talents like you would definitely have been taken by some of the devil clans. No, it's better to say that you would have been raised by them. I don't believe you don't have anyone's backing. Who's supporting you?"

The clan elders around had their own opinions as well.

"We should imprison them and plaster their faces in the Elder Devil Hall. Someone's bound to appear to reclaim them."

"What? Would you let them go just like that? With such talent, we should recruit them instead."

"What if they're here to spy on us, huh? Do you want to recruit some devils we've just met?"

"We're in need of stronger normal devils. Since they came from the Realm of Gods, I'm sure we can offer them a lot more than their backing was able to provide."

"Indeed. We just need them for jobs that don't require access to any sensitive information. It's not like the normal devils haven't tried to infiltrate our Light Devil Clan many other times, so we're used to it."

Rean couldn't help but raise his hand, catching everyone's attention. "Sorry to say this, but... it was your clan's devil who first came to us. He almost got us involved in a mess back in Fraghal City too. Last but not least, it was Fagund who asked us to come even though we told him we were planning to leave. If you have a problem with our background, then we can just go. We only saved Fagund to repay the favor of the Light Devil Clan badge that he used to bring us through the spatial gates."

"You still haven't told me from which power you originate from," Rui mentioned again. "I will consider whether to take you in or not."

"Oh! So you really are in need of someone for the contest," replied Rean. "We can't tell you where we came from, but we can assure you that we have no intention of spying on your Light Devil Clan. Don't forget, it was Fagund who came to us and asked for help, not the other way around. We didn't even know that he was part of the Light Devil Clan to start with."

Rui didn't like Rean's attitude and was ready to punish him. "And why should I believe that?"

Rean laughed in response, not afraid at all. "Hahaha! Isn't that obvious?"

Roan continued from there, although he didn't laugh. "Fagund told us that he was from the Light Devil Clan, but neither Gean nor I tried to capture him nor leave to tell the other devils. From what we know, the last thing you need is to have this matter known by the Elder Devils. If we were really related to any of the other Elder Devils' powers, do you think we would have come? I don't know what this meeting that Fagund had with the angels was about. But he made it pretty clear that it shouldn't be revealed in any circumstance. That the Elder Devils would definitely understand what it meant. Since we're here, that should be enough proof of our lack of connection with them."

Rui calmed down a bit after that. Whether he wanted it or not, he knew that Roan's words made sense. "It doesn't completely guarantee that. Perhaps you already told them somehow and are here now to look after us. However, I will agree that all the events that led you two to this room seem impossible to have been planned ahead. Too much luck involved."

Eventually, Rui decided to accept. "Very well, you can take part in the contest."
