thank the heavens that you are here patriarch. the disciplinary elder of the sect rejoiced to see them back thought they are not all in good shape and injuries visible on them.
what happened here and who is responsible for this?
patriarch we where attack by the assassins guild and shadow guard of the golden empire, they lunch a full scale attack on us to exterminate our sect completely.
how did you guys survived the attack from the combine force with little force?
grand elder we were at number and could only fight to death, when we lost all hope that out sect is gone and could only wish you guys and OK and can avenge us a miracle happened.
what miracle are you talking about? the surviving elders that came with the patriarch could not control there out burst due to the pent up anger.
when we were almost wipe out a rank five earth beast showed up and attack the intruder, seeing there was still hope we push with everything we got, the beast took care of the revolving core stage expert.
what earth beast? grand elder probe further.
i really can't tell which beast is though. it a beast that look like that of blood wolf and lightning fox, it also have both attributed and innate ability, its speed and strength is also off charts.
did you say a beast that is of both blood wolf and lightning fox? Jenny inquired
yes do you know anything about it?
turning to grand elder, she walk up to him and whisper something to him, grand elder eyes almost fell out. seeing grand elder like this the other elder where eager to know what Jenny told him.
patriarch let's go in, you have to be set up our protective barrier first to protect anymore attacks
you are right. grand elder, the empire and skyfire had made a fool out of us, we need to protect those left alive, get the physician still alive to treat the wounded and buried the dead, that's is all we can do for the sacrifice they had done for the sect and put Dexter in confinement room with his cultivation seal.
yes patriarch. the elder instructed sprang to action taking Dexter away sealing is cultivation, while the patriarch, grand elder and five youth head for the meeting hall.
inside the hall the patriarch sat down with grand elder looking straight towards the five youth standing in front of them.
Jenny can you tell us again what you told me out there.
patriarch, grand elder the beast that help our sect is Duo blood beast. he had giving it to us to help us before he went for seclusion.
the patriarch had is jaw drop from what he heard. still finding it hard to hide his shock expression from the junior in front of him.
calming down he ask the only question that came in his mind.
how come Dio is having an earth beast with a cultivation of rank 3 meridian refinement stage?
patriarch I don't know how to say this but that beast hasn't always been a earth rank beast. Lara chipped in
how do you mean not always been an earth rank beast.
when Dio left the beast with us, it was just a rank 7 mortal beast, but while we where train and doing missions with the beast, we found out from time to time that its cultivation is increasing in an insane speed and noe its a rank 5 earth beast.
so you are saying in a space of ten months this beast grew from rank 7 mortal beast to earth rank beast? grand elder fumed at the impossible explanation he is hearing right now.
teacher I won't lie to you if other do, what Lara said its the truth.
hearing Jenny confirmed that what was told is the truth, the both fell into deep thought.
heaving a sigh patriarch ask grand elder when Dio will be exiting seclusion, he is the only one who can answer the many questions they had in there mind.
we are in the eleventh month he want into seclusion. he should be coming out next month.
alright we will wait for him to come out and explained things to us clearly. for now we have put the sect on lock down with the barrier, so no one can penetrate into our sect, it just that it will also stop us from going out, but before our resources deplete we might have find a solution to get out of this or we might just use the last resort but I hope it didn't get to that.
just then the other elder walk into the hall and took their sit.
patriarch everything had been carried out as instructed.
nodding the patriarch ask, where is that earth beast that help you out now
patriarch it weird but the beast is standing guard in young master seclusion bunker.
alright just leave it there and make that area off limit for anyone.
yes patriarch.
what are our lost count this time?
we incurred 300 hundred death for meridian refinement stage and 100 revolving core expert 21 transformation stage stage. the elder in charge of welfare recounts.
everyone had a grim face.
this is indeed a huge lost to us, we will be on lock down for now, gather the survivals, we must not lose hope yet, encourage them and strengthen those who need to. we have to build strong mind at a period like this.
patriarch what brought this upon us? warfare elder ask sighting with anger and revenge.
its the royal and skyfire fire sect, the plot against us for fear of our successor and Dexter lend a helping hand. grand elder replied
everywhere became silent for a while before patriarch broke the silent and brought everyone back to the issue at hand.
gather everyone let go bury our dead and I will give a speech to strength the resolve of those who survived this.
a month later
Dio step out of seclusion but what he saw didn't give him a chance to rejoice over his success of close door seclusion, with confusion he heading to look for his teacher, blood just followed silently behind him. when he found his teacher with the patriarch and surviving elder in the meeting hall. when he step it the were all surprise seeing his cultivation stage. peak of the first stage of revolving core. but that shock didn't last with the next word that came out of Dio mouth.
what happened here teacher and why is out sect in such a state.
Dio are you saying you didn't know what happened, you didn't hear the battle going on outside.
"-" thinking back he remembered he conceal his lounge with concealment rune to stop the elders from notice his insane speed of cultivation, so no one can see, hear or sense him also nothing can be sensed or heard from inside. so he was completely clueless.
seeing his blank expression they decide to explain everything to him from top.
hearing everything he couldn't control his anger, he ask blood to confirm and he did. calming down a little he turned to his teacher and elders, boe a little and thank them for their help. after which his next word set their blood burning.
since the made an enemy of us and planned to exterminate us I will do well to pay them back in same coin. he turn to the patriarch.
patriarch I will need a lot of best core, the night its rank the better. if it's possible I will want a drop of blood from that shaman blessed one of skyfire sect. I want to strick terror into them and pay my debt back for all they have done.
