Everyone looked at the old white haired referee with utter respect. Any person that even Ancestor Ray who is at the Sky Sage Stage of the Divine Realm refers as a senior must be a top figure of the Bluefire Empire.
The Imperial Tournemant ended after a few more fights. The results was something no one could have imagined. The Imra Clan got five spots, the Evria Clan got three spots and the remaining two spots went to the devasted Boros Clan.
Patriarch Linus Boros was endless angry, looking at the five young people of the Imra Clan. Killing intent flashed in his eyes. He couldn't stand it anymore and withdrew with the two remaining Boros clansmen.
Stepping down from their respective arenas the five people from Imra Clan met smiling. While talking a beautifull girl in skyblue robe headed straight to Sirus.
"Sirus I haven't seen you for more than a year, are you trying to avoid me?" asked the young girl with long brown hair and beautiful clear brown eyes.
"Hello Miss Evria, I didn't have time, sorry for not visiting you" answered Sirus neutral.
Hearing this Leyla Evria frowned. "I told you many times that you should call me Leyla."
"I'm sorry Miss Evria but we are not close enough for that" Sirus cold tone suprised Leyla.
"Do you need to be like this?" asked she somewhat pale.
"Sorry Miss Evria we need to go, the Imperial Gathering will be held in four months, goodbye"
"Grand Elder Charles what do you think about a marriage between my first dauther and the fourth son of Patriarch Temio? They seem to get along" said Patriarch Lowos Evria smiling.
"The Fourth Young Master doesn't fancy her, she isn't his type so a marriage is completly impossible" rebuked Grand Elder Charles coldly.
Patriarch Lowos felt like his face got splapped, his eyes squinted for a moment before returning normal.
"Seems like they are not fated, what about Young Miss Odette?"
"There won't be any marriages in future Patriarch Lowos" spoke Grand Elder frankly.
"A pity, what a pity" saying this Patriarch Lowos left.
Ancestor Ray and Grand Elder Charles guided the group back to the clan where they continued to train.
**********
Inside the Boros Clan Main Hall the atmosphere was gloomy and the upper echelon had a clan meeting.
"Father we must eradicate the Imra Clan" said Patriarch Linus to Ancerster Himero who was sitting on the throne.
"We can't, something strange happened to the Imra Clan they all cultivate swords arts, they changed their normal Ki into Sword Ki. Beside that they all developed Sword Aura that is crucial for every Sword Cultivator. They seem stronger then in the past. Ray that old bastard was at the third level Sky Sage Stage two years ago, but when he blocked my Fire Fist he had a cultivation base of a first level Sky Sage. Strangely he was on par with me. We need to find out what dogshit luck the Imra Clan stummbled upon" analysed Ancestor Himero gloomy.
"Yes you are right father, I will send a message to little Samson, so that the Truefire Sect can take care of the Imra Clan young genaration, in the coming Imperial Gathering" said Patriarch with killing intent.
"That is a good idea tell him what happened" nodded Ancestor Himero and some Elders.
*********
The Imra Clan too had a clan meeting.
"They did well in this Imperial Tournament, I'm pleased with the results" spoke Grand Elder Charles.
The other Elders nodded happily. The clan transformed completely in the last year and they all felt confident.
"Yes it was a good result. But the real matter why I ordered this clan meeting is because little Rybert returned with some good news." Ancestor Ray had a happy smile on his face.
All elders turned to Grand Elder Rybert who was sitting beside Grand Elder Charles.
"You all know that Sirus some time ago recruited a servant, that gave us the idea that we can recruit people with normal Ki into our clan. But the space we have in Ohion City wouldn't be enough for all. That's why I personally went to the Inner Part of the Darkscale Mountains to meet the leader of the Desolate Beasts there. After some difficulty we came to an agreement. I handed our High Desolate Core to him, now we own the mountain nearest to Ohion City." explained Grand Elder Rybert.
The Main Hall was silent.
"That means?" asked an Elder somewhat unsure.
"That means the we will build our new clan foundation on that mountain" answered Grand Elder Rybert.
"Good now you all have two main tasks, one, you will hire all architects and workers to on that mountain. Second, a few of you will start to recruit people from villages and towns in the surroundings of Ohion City. Litlle Sirus gave me another spatial ring filled with Earth and Heaven Grade martial arts, that is more than enough to function as our foundation." said Ancestor Ray.
"Beside that there was this book" an old looking book appeared in Ancestors Rays hand.
"The way to the Peak" read Grand Elder Charles.
"This book explaines everything that a sowrd cultivator needs to do until the Immortal Realm" said Ancestor Ray happy.
The group of elders took a deep breath looking at the book like it was the rarest thing they have ever seen.
"Now you know what to do, if everything goes smoothly we will declare that our Imra Clan will be the Heavenly Sword Clan."
