"We have finished it! It seems that the gossip is indeed somewhat related to the truth." Peridot stated as she verified all the gossip that the women were talking about.
It seems that the General Guan Fu has a constitution that is incredibly powerful called the War God Constitution. It seems that he grows more powerful the longer that he is in battle. He is also gifted with great intuition when it comes to battle that he trampled on all the clans that waged war on the Demonic Beast Clan.
Kabrakan and Lycan also learned that the two brothers have a great relationship. It seems that the patriarch is also a doting elder brother. He was ready to step down from his position, if need be, but his younger brother does not want to be the patriarch. His younger brother also wanted to marry the woman of his dreams which is why he cannot be patriarch.
They concluded that history was indeed true that the patriarch of the Demonic Beast Clan did use a forbidden scroll to create the Den of Beasts. They actually found the same scroll inside a hidden safe in the study of the patriarch. They are actually thankful that they were transported at a rather peaceful time rather than when the massacre of the Demonic Beast Clan was held.
"Let us exit the Den of Beasts since we have gotten what we needed." Peridot stated but a sword wave suddenly came crashing towards her which Kabrakan blocked.
"Show yourselves!" Kabrakan stated and the other party did so.
The mere fact that they really did show themselves means that the attack is no accident. They were really aiming for Peridot, and they did not even hide their killing intent. The trio then looked at the ones that attacked them and noticed that they were from one of the haughty clans in the east continent.
"You dare attack the Princess of the Ryujin. Do you want to forfeit your life that badly?" Lycan stated as this phrase would often make people pee their pants in the eastern continent.
"I do not care if you are a god or a reincarnation of a goddess. Hand over all the treasures that you have obtained." A haughty looking young woman stated.
"Young Miss, I think we should not bother them. That is the Princess of the Ryujin and they are very protective of their own kin. I also heard a rumor that the princess is very doted on." One of the servants stated but his words were not heard.
"Do not tell me what to do." The young miss that is the leader of the group stated.
The companions of the young miss already knew what she was thinking. She does not want to really rob the of their treasures but to humiliate the young princess of the Ryujin. She still holds a grudge from a party that Peridot attended. She remembers preparing all she could to be beautiful only to be outshined by Peridot.
"I believe that we do not know each other. It would be wise for both parties to not be hostile. If it puts your mind at ease, I can tell you that we have no treasures. We only came here to sightsee after all." Peridot stated which angered the young miss even more.
"This entitled woman! She does not even remember me and is even trying to make me look bad." The young miss thought.
"Everyone! Kill them." The young miss stated but her companions were reluctant to obey.
They were not there to be servants of the young miss but her guards if something were to go south. They hesitated to agree to the command as they will give the patriarch a headache if they really did attack the princess of the Ryujin.
"Why are you not attacking? Can all of you not see that she is a fake and is masquerading as the Ryujin Princess? We are making sure that her name will not be tarnished which is why we must kill off those that pretend to be her." The young miss stated as she already concocted an excuse if something were to happen outside.
"Is that so? I think I remember that voice now. Are you not Ying from the Veiled Sword Clan? I remember a person storming off in a fit of rage in a party back then. It seems that your jealousy of me has not changed. I am sorry if I was born more beautiful than you." Peridot stated as she remembered an NPC accusing her of using Seduction magic back then.
"I am sorry for the disrespect that our young miss has given to you. Her father shall know of her misgivings. We plead that you will be benevolent, Princess Peridot." A powerful man that seems to be the leader of the guards spoke.
Peridot immediately knew that giving evidence of her identity means they could not touch her. In the end, they got out of the Den of Beasts despite the sudden unexpected encounter. Peridot knew that it will not end with that as people like that tend to take revenge even if it is petty.
Just as she expected, when the group is headed towards the docks riding Moksha. Another sword wave came flying straight at them and it was the same one that Kabrakan blocked earlier. This time only two people showed up and it was the young miss with her head of guards. Kabrakan blocked the attack again, but the force knocked them back.
"Who dares attack a great being such as myself?!" Moksha stated in anger as he was always feared by those that fly in the skies of the eastern continent.
"Uhuh. You are not getting attacked because of your master." Lycan thought but he did not voice it out.
"I want that mount." Ying stated as she looked at the Qilin that Peridot is using for transportation.
"It seems that your apologies earlier are just empty words. Remember that you will be severely punished because of this." Peridot stated but a formation suddenly covered the sky.
