Chapter 1348 Do not tolerate impoliteness

No wait, Lex suddenly realized that he wasn't portraying the aura of a Dao Lord. After all, most of the time, the Innkeeper appeared in front of guests without any aura at all, and he had done the same when appearing in front of Ereboth.

"Or better yet, why don't you give me all of your guests!"

Ereboth's aura began to rise rapidly, just as his grin grew ever larger. Time seemed to slow down in Lex's eyes, and this time it wasn't because the system network had slowed down his perception of time. Rather it was his own instincts at work.

They communicated with him as clearly, or even clearer than they ever had before. Lex was about to die. He had been locked onto by a being he could not hope to resist, and it was gathering itself up to strike. In fact, the reason it had not already struck was because it was savoring the build up, hoping to see some fear and terror in the Innkeeper's eyes.

That last bit was not information provided by his instincts, but Lex's own deduction, as well as his sixth sense which was very good at determining others feelings. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Yet in the face of certain death, Lex felt not an iota of fear. Lex had looked a Demi-Dao Lord in the eyes and proclaimed vengeance in the future, so a Celestial immortal could not intimidate him.

Although he knew logically speaking he could do nothing to resist, Lex did not operate on normal logic. To kill him was far from simple. Heck, if nothing else, Lex was certain that if he unsealed whatever was in his mind keeping his time affinity at bay, both of them would die. So even if he were to die, he would not do so alone.

With his decision made, Lex acted. He summoned the full aura of the Innkeeper that the system afforded him, and for once mixed in his own Domination as well. He put his entire being into squeezing out the most powerful Domination he could muster, hoping that when mixed in with the Innkeeper's natural aura, it would give a stronger impression.

Outside, within the Inn itself, the clear sky was suddenly overcast as heavy clouds appeared within the sky, and an oppressive aura filled every corner of the Inn.

Wu Kong, who was about to agree to Brandon's demand of dating his grandniece, felt the aura and snorted, turning away, as if he had been caught doing something shameful.

Every other guest suddenly held their breath, and felt like they were on the precipice of doom. No one knew what had happened, and most couldn't even muster up the courage to ponder the reason for such a change at all.

But none of them felt like they themselves were in danger, for the aura was not targeting them. No, Lex had not released a blind, targetless aura. Instead, it was tinged with his intention towards Ereboth.

As for what his intention was? It was the intention of an elder to warn a naughty child. Oh, it was also filled with his intention to use his authority as a system owner to display the system interface, and that is exactly what happened. His system interface popped open in front of him - and so did Ereboths system: The System System!

The ever pleasant, ever calm Innkeeper displayed the slightest hint of disapproval in his eyes as he looked at Ereboth.

"Young man, although I welcome all guests, I do not tolerate impoliteness. Do not make me turn off your system for a while. It would be a shame for you to fail all 107 of your active quests."

Ereboth's aura froze, and for the second time in its existence, it felt fear. The first time, it had felt fear when the Governor had faced him, and locked him in his galaxy. That was the fear of death. But this time... this time he felt the fear of a secret revealed!
