Arthur's figure drew the eyes of everyone who passed by him. Despite the fact that his cultivation base and right arm was hidden, thanks to Restriction Fae, the aura and temperament didn't match that of someone with such a young appearance.
His green hair fluttered gently in the wind, as he was followed by numerous other Fae Masters, all of which were Rank 2.
In terms of presence, they all paled significantly in comparison to Arthur, but knew that their Leader was.... different to them.
He was a talented practitioner of the School of War, a Fae Master that prided himself on destructive Attribute Control Skills above all else. Someone with a Sovereign Boundary Physique and a peak level talent!
His heart of cultivation was unified as well, allowing his Emotions, Thoughts and Desires to unify, forming a wish that created an Intent. Despite the fact that in terms of resources Arthur was falling behind even Purple Fog that he had fought before, Arthur had exceeded him in everything else.
'Is that what it means to possess a Sovereign Boundary Physique', many thought.
Lavinia and Valentine stayed behind, although Arthur had given them both a few Fae in order to defend themselves and warn Arthur if anything happened while they were away.
It was mainly just Firework Fae, Explosion Fae and Colour Fae, but together they could definitely attract the eyes of Fae Masters from even dozens of miles away.
Even Nyssa, and Iryna was somewhat enraptured by Arthur's appearance and presence today. They both constantly snuck glances at the man whom was the focus of their affection, not caring at all about the passerby's that was giving them looks in return.
The Violet Clan residence was on the outskirts of White Corpse City, closer towards the Corpse Shore replica. Due to their proximity to the Corpse Shore, it allowed for the excess and wasted corpse type spiritual essence to spill over into their domain, and enhance their Corpses passively, even if it was an insignificant increase.
Arthur and the rest had arrived on foot, which was different from all of the other participants, who either came on spirit beast, or on carriage.
A few of the talented young members of the White Dominion Sect sneered at those Fae Masters behind Arthur.
"Look at how poor they all are. It doesn't matter if they are companions of the Boundless Forest Yearning, they can't change the scent of mortal shit from their clothes".
"The only person there worthy of any attention is the Boundless Forest Yearning. He is a Rank 3 Fae Master despite only being nineteen".
"He has killed numerous Rank 3 Fae Masters as well. A heard that just this morning a mercenary was hired by someone in order to challenge him. He was killed instantly".
"From what I heard about him from the Returning Galaxy Auction House, was that he was a practitioner of the School of War. All of his Attribute Control Skills exist around combat and destructive power".
"Do you know if he has perceived Laws or not yet?".
"It was said that he had perceived at least Wood Laws. What level and whether or not he had perceived Emotion Laws is still unknown....".
Arthur felt the gazes of countless individuals on him as he stepped up past the front gate. Seeing the green haired, green eyed young man, the peak Rank 3 Fae Masters stared at Arthur for a moment before-.
Death.
Their bodies froze, and their backs were dripping in a layer of cold sweat. Their backs stiffened unconsciously, and their hearts stopped beating for a moment as every single instinct within their bodies told them not to turn around.
It was almost as if a massive Beast King had suddenly appeared directly behind them. Every single thing that they had learned about combat, or fighting suddenly seemed irrelevant in the face of such bloodlust.
Arthur smiled politely as he led Milena and the others into the the gardens outside the martial stage. The entirety of Arthur's killing intent was enough to resist some of the pressure of a peak Rank 5 Fae Master. It was something normally impossible for a Rank 3 Fae Master to do, even one with a Sovereign Boundary Physique.
A peak Rank 3 Fae Master wouldn't even know what hit them, before Arthur had removed their heads from their bodies.
Walking past the gate, Arthur entered the gardens, noticing the faint sounds of music and chatter going on in the distance.
Food and beverages were served by mortal maids, and even a few of the more lascivious Fae Masters took these maids by the hands, dragging them off somewhere to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh.
Just like the two servant girls whom Arthur had bedded once before, they were all betting on the chance that they could get pregnant with a Fae Masters seed. If their child possessed the talent of a Fae Master, then perhaps they could enter the White Dominion Sect and change their fates forever....
The only mortal that could ever change their Fate was the Stellar Karmic Reincarnation. A mortal with a Sovereign Boundary Physique.
As Arthur entered the gardens, he felt even more eyes placed on his figure. The vast majority of attendees were young talented disciples of the White Dominion Sect within White Corpse City, although a few were from Black Corpse City, as well as Golden Corpse City.
All of them quite eager to gaze at this generations Boundless Forest Yearning.
If they could perhaps form ties with him, then they might be able to gain the favour of a future Rank 5 Fae Master. Of course, not everyone present had such idealist thoughts within their minds.
"Ah! Mr Kovacs! I'm so glad you could make it here tonight!".
Arthur turned his head slightly, gazing at Violet Sunglass with an unfettered expression on his face. He gave the woman a slight nod, smiling politely.
"I was quite keen on seeing what experts on the path of Corpses will be born from the younger generation. Who knows, some might even become Rank 5 Fae Masters in the future".
Arthur's words were quite courteous, and Henrik and Dagen both raised an eyebrow, glancing at each other, suppressing a smirk.
If only they knew Arthur's true personality, they thought.
Arthur had experienced what life was like with Sects and Clans many years ago. Other than the Rootless Abyss and Milena entering the White Dominion Sect, Arthur didn't have any "plans" towards the White Dominion Sect itself.
But against certain individuals however....
Violet Sunglass just smiled, slightly underestimating Arthur.
Despite being from a small region like the Winter Rain Mountains, this Boundless Forest Yearning was quite good with his words.
.... And not to bad on the eyes either.
Violet Sunglass just bowed, knowing that despite her status, Arthur was still a Rank 3 Fae Master.
She was twenty years old, and only at the solid ruby origin essence Fae Master level. However, Violet Sunglass knew that her strength did not lie in her cultivation but her attainment in the path of Corpses.
Arthur knew that too.
"At any rate, please enjoy the festivities. The martial gathering will commence in a few minutes, so please, make yourselves at home".
Violet Sunglass just moved away from Arthur's group, welcoming another batch of guests that had just entered through the main gate.
Arthur turned towards the rest of his group, muttering just above a whisper.
"Remember what I said. Don't start anything, but if anyone tries something, just wait until the martial gathering. You can settle something then. Understood?".
Everyone else nodded, going off in groups while leaving Arthur all alone on the edge of the garden. Letting out a sigh, he shook his head, feeling his age now more than ever.
"I wonder if in a thousand years, any of the Fae Masters present would be still alive?".
