The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Flowing Stream City was about a two day journey away from the Heaven Supression City. But Rein and his group were going to use a great beast to pull their carriage, so it was not going to take that long for them. This great beast was tamed by the sect which most of the time was only possible if that beast was already tamed before awakening as a great beast.

So with that beast pulling their carriage, it took Rein's group only about 10 hours to reach the city. It was still a long journey but 10 hours was a great improvement if compared to the 36-40 hours that it would have normally taken.

Before entering the city Rein put away the carriage inside his storage unit and also asked the great beast to hide in the forest close to the city. Taking the carriage to enter the city would cause a commotion which might alert the evil cultivators or the great beast. And if someone was trying to hide something in the city, being anonymous would help them in discovering it.

So Rein was not going to use his identity as a disciple of the Divine Scale Pavillion to her favourable treatment.

So the five of them entered the city without attracting much attention. This city did not have any powerful sects or family so noticing so many well dressed and good looking ladies did turn a few heads but that was all and Rein's group was not the target of any suspicion.

Everyone was tired for the day after a long and nonstop journey, so they were not planning to do anything for the day and were just going to rest or cultivate. While getting ready for that Rein started to explain to everyone about the schedule he had created to finish the work.

There was a time limit of 2 weeks on the quest so they needed to finish all three of the quests at least before that. Rein still had a decent amount of time in hand but still he tried to get it done as soon as possible so that he would also be able to enjoy some time with the girls as a vacation.

There was a high chance that the evil cultivators might run away if they  knew that someone from a powerful sect was here to get rid of them. So Rein was planning to take care of them first. The next day he was planning to surround the abandoned fortress that they were using as their base to not allow even a single one of them to escape.

The regular and evil cultivators were always in a conflict. So keeping any evil cultivator alive would just become the reason for another regular cultivator's death. So it was always advisable to get rid of the evil cultivators when one had a chance. Only after that would Rein worry about the investigation and the great beast.

It was very unlikely for the great beast to go away from its territory, so Rein was not worried about it running away.

When a great beast became strong enough, they would be able to gain great strength and also the ability to rule over the area around it. In this area, the Beast would be able to gain an insane amount of advantage but at the same time they would not be able to leave the area for too long or they might just die.

That was the reason why Rein was so sure that the Great Beast would not run away as it was certain that his dominion area was inside that forest. As for the investigation, Rein's group were just going to keep an ear out for any juicy rumours that they might be able to hear.

...

The abandoned fortress was located about a few dozens of kilometers away from the city. Just looking at it from a distance made it clear that no one had lived in it for a long time. The evil cultivators had tried to renovate it a little bit but this place was too worn out for anything to have a significant effect.

Colinde was going to attack from the front while Rein and Lan would be going to enter the fortress from a different side. Rein was going to find a suitable opponent for Lan first before joining the fight. Mei and Himiko were not going to enter the castle and were going to observe the situation from a little big away and would always be ready to help if anything bad happened.

Colinde manifested her Demon Slaying Sword and walked toward the gates of the fortress with slow steps. She was not trying to hide her presence at all so almost immediately her approach was noticed by the evil cultivators. After reaching the Heavenly Platform realm, Colinde had grown up a little bit but still she looked to be only about 15 or 16 years old.

So the evil cultivators did not take her too seriously and just sent two of the guards to take care of her. They could feel that Colinde was a regular cultivator and as evil cultivators, they were planning to kill her without asking any questions.

But the nonchalant attitude of the evil cultivators changed when Colinde easily cut down two of the guards who had approached her. Seeing the evil cultivators realised that this young girl was dangerous and they attacked her from all sides together.

...

While Colinde was taking on the evil cultivators from the front, Rein and Lan infiltrated the fortress from a secret entrance that Rein had managed to find after reading about it in an ancient book about this city. It looked like the evil cultivators were also aware of this route as there was a person guarding the door of this route.

But this was not a bad thing. This person's cultivation was actually almost on par with Lan's so he would make a good opponent for her. So Rein asked Lan to take care of him while he made sure that no one else was going to bother Lan while she was fighting.

Lan was actually able to perform better than Rein had expected. As it was her first real fight, Rein had expected her to be a bit nervous which she actually was before the start of the battle. But as soon as the fight began, suddenly Lan became very calm and calculated. Rein had expected her to win the fight in 20 minutes or so but Lan again amazed Rein by ending the fight in less than 10 minutes.

This did not happen because Lan was overwhelmingly more powerful than her opponent but because she always made extremely good decisions in the middle of the fight and was able to maintain her advantage throughout the whole battle. It was truly amazing. Lan really had a great talent for combat.

After that was over and seeing that Lan was not feeling any discomfort after killing for the first time in her life, Rein allowed her to join him to fight the other enemies.

Just like that a massive battle started in the abandoned fortress.
