Back the yin barrier, while they advanced through the forest, Aster could feel Alexandra glaring at him from time to time and he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
'Have I offended you or something', he thought.
'Maybe she feels suspicious about you accepting to not do anything to her mother so easily, since you didn't even ask anything from her, I still can't believe you can ignore soul oaths', said Aria through the mind connection.
Aster chuckled as he tightened his hug on Aria before saying.
'It's not that I ignore them, the attribute of my soul is also annihilation, so it can't be regulated by the heavens, they can't tie something that doesn't "exist" in their scope, well the oath does work for the other party though'.
Similar to how soul lamps couldn't register Aster as the culprit of killing their owner when he killed them with annihilation, soul oaths stopped affecting him when he became a soul cultivator.
