Chapter 645 The spatial distortions (part 3)
"Uncle!", the sole Law Integration member of the Iunter's family group rushed towards the passed out black clothed man and started feeding him pills and elixirs in a hurry, helping him recover a bit of color, even his missing limbs started regenerating but he didn't recover his senses.
The other people present frowned, the attack from the woman in the palanquin was strong but it didn't have the intent to kill, otherwise at least one of them would have interfered, just to mess with the Myriad Occupation sect, so after being fed all those pills the black clothed man should have regained his senses.
We are talking about a half step Heavenly realm cultivator, the speed at which they refine spirit. energy and resources is on another level, so the only thing they could think about being the reason of the current state of the black clothed man is the retaliation he suffered when he tried to steal that corpse from Aster.
The Law Integration cultivator from the Hunter family, turned to see some of the acquittances of his family in order to ask them to take a look at his uncle's state, just to see them ignoring him.
The contempt on their faces was obvious, they weren't going to risk being affected by whatever that had caused the black clothed man's weakened state, since any group without a half step Heavenly realm cultivator practically had no voice in the current situation.
'What a fool, he should have sent a Void Manipulation to test the waters, well not that it's not understandable that a family affiliated to the Bloodline Tower goes crazy over obtaining possible new strong lineage origin; thought the green robed man from the Supreme Elemental sect. While the Law Integration member of the Hunter family took his uncle away along with his group, a bunch of distortions activated at the same time, drawing the attention from all the presents. But they felt rather disappointed when they saw that the things that poured out of them, were actually just high-grade spirit jades, it's normal for them to appear out of the distortions, since spirit jades form in places with high concentrations of spirit energy, so they didn't ignite the greed of the observers unlike the corpse.
However, that changed when out of the last distortion a table sized piece of land with a sole herb at its center, came out.
'Aster, that piece of land contains divine energy!, Mylene's excited voice, reached Aster's ears the very moment that distortion opened, he couldn't help but chuckle upon seeing both hers and Eris's eyes sparkle upon the sight of that piece of land.
After sending a quick message to a couple of people, Aster flashed towards his target and without any uspense the piece of land, this time he didn't sent it to his spatial ring though.
Instead, he carried the thing with his right hand and then casually flew back to where the girls were, on the way he even looked towards the elders of the different groups that earlier clearly wanted to steal the corpse from him, but didn't dare to act, as if to mock them.
"Here you go", said Aster as he offered the piece of land to Mylene who sent it into her spatial ring at lightspeed.
"Thanks-", with a happy smile, the pink haired girl thanked Aster, just to feel a bunch of gazes fall on her, while some of the young girls from the Black Sword faction gossiped among themselves, making Mylene's face redden a bit.
Rumors about Aster going to crazy extents when it came to courting women, became a thing after the auction when he casually dropped half a billion spirit jades to buy the stone tablet, while saying that it wasn't worth mentioning it, when compared to the happiness of his lover.
So, for the others it looked as if Aster risked his life just to see her smile, something which Aster counted up with.
'He did it on purpose, humph', inwardly exclaimed Mylene as she saw the slight smirk on Aster's face, speaking of which Camila suddenly found herself at a loss, she was receiving equal attention from those curious girls and she didn't know why, she was asleep when Aster declared that all those spirit jades were used just to see her smile.
So, the poor treasure girl didn't know about it, until now that is, since she saw Aster chuckling at her and felt the urge to dig a hole to hide.
'What did he do when I was sleeping!, she screamed in her heart.
The previous scene, made the elders and representatives from the other forces grit their teeth, while they lost subordinates, the bastard that reaped the benefits was casually flirting with beauties, it was too much, no add to that the fact that William openly laughed at them like a madman before shouting,
"Disciples of the Myriad Occupation sect, with my authority as the Guardian I declare that seventy percent of whatever you obtain is yours to keep, follow the example of the Lord of the Twin Sword Valley!".
The previous announcement, reverberated throughout the sky, causing different reactions, normally one's sect, family, force or backer will take a part of whatever someone obtains in a secret ream, or any other opportunity obtained through them.
A seventy-thirty distribution ratio is quite normal, but the biggest share is always for the sect not for the disciple, of course this can be adjusted depending on the disciple in question, but we are talking about special cases, such as the top five core disciples, official successors to important positions or holy sons and holy maidens, such as Aster.
William however just declared that regardless of rank, whatever the disciples got would be mostly kept by them, it was a huge benefit.
"Tsk, to think the Myriad Occupation sect would stoop as low as to bribe their own disciples to boos their morale, what a cheap trick to make them risk their lives... the silver clothed half step Heavenly realm protector from the Supreme Elemental sect, who suffered a loss at Valentina's hands earlier, snorted as he criticized William, just for him to see how practically all the two hundred disciples from the Myriad Occupation immediately departed, making him swallow his words.
What he didn't know is that before going after that piece of land, Aster informed William and Valentina of the "rules" to obtain the things that were coming out of the distortions.
With his dragon eyes, he saw a "blur" which originated from both the corpse and the distortion from which it came, the moment those guys tried to get it, the one from the corpse directly killed those guys while the one from the distortion, simply heavily injured them.
That being said, Aster didn't know what conditions triggered those "blurs", but since he saw that those at the early stages of the Void Manifestation suffered though still heavy, lighter injuries, he judged that a lower realm resulted in a lower reaction, so he decided to go for it, worst case scenario he had the invincibility of the Paragon Body.
"Those are the materials that miss Iris asked from me, if I remember correctly, one of her friends was suffering from some kind of illness that couldn't be cured even by the alchemists and medics of her family, so we made a deal as you can see", casually said Aster as he pointed at Nina who was now perfectly healthy.
'No way, there is no trace of whatever was torturing that bitch, she is actually completely cured!, inwardly exclaimed the two female protectors, they hadn't paid any attention to Nina until now and simply thought that she didn't speak up earlier because she was still in a weak state. "Nonsense, there is no way you had all these things in your hands!", shouted the younger guy as he burned the copy of the contract, to which Nina mockingly pointed at herself before saying. "The proof is here, so if you don't have the payment, get lost.
"Kid I don't know what they gave you to take their side, but don't try to deceive us, you don't know
who you are messing with", said the older guy while gritting her teeth, making Aster coldly laugh.
the
"I don't negotiate with servants, go back and bring someone with real authority, as in having the power to empty the whole main treasury of the Blazeheart family", he said making emphasis word "Blazeheart!
That wasn't all, those two realized that Aster was talking directly with the protectors, completely ignoring them, in other words they were the 'servants' in his eyes, the protectors also felt humiliated, because they belonged to secondary branches, so of course they had nowhere near the authority to even retrieve something from the main treasury of their family. What's more, the black-haired youth even called them "Blazeheart" straight to their faces, it was a complete and unadulterated insult for them who considered themselves, Redheart family members.
Regardless of the previous, let alone their young miss, not even the Matriarch of the Blazeheart
family, had the authority to empty the treasury, so he basically told them that if they wanted to negotiate, they had to go and bring their Ancestor to him.
Which was basically asking them to go and die, since the Ancestor will probably burn them alive if
they passed the message, so as you can imagine the two protectors were livid, still seeing that the
two guys were about to start a fight and feeling the gaze of the woman in the palanquin as well as William who were floating in the sky, observing from afar, they forcefully swallowed their anger. They weren't even sure of being able to handle William in a 2v1 fight and the woman in the palanquin earlier easily crushed one leg and one arm of the elder from the Hunter family, sure the Redheart family by itself was stronger than the Hunter family, but the woman in the palanquin used strength only equal to the Law Integration realm, to crush a half step Heavenly realm cultivator, so unlike them, she should be a direct descendant from the main branch of a second tier force at least.
"There is no use in talking anymore, just remember it kid, you'll regret it, said one of the protectors before they flew away, dragging those two alongside them.
Seeing Aster not only easily humiliating those guys but also using their own tactic against them, Iris
couldn't help but softly laugh, she knew that they were trying to provoke her but she couldn't help but get angry when they insulted those three.
"Thanks, Aster", she said with a fresh smile on her pretty face, as a straight forward person it's not
like she is reckless or dense enough to not recognize a scheme, but she solves her problems with her sword, that's how it has always been, so this was a new experience for her.
"No problem, if being shameless isn't your thing, I'll do it for you, that's what friends are for after all",
jokingly said Aster, which made Iris's eyes shine for a second before she nodded as she returned to her usual self. "Min, I'll count on you from now on', she said.
"Speaking of shameless, you little girl didn't come out and help your sisters, but fiercely stood up for
someone else', added the older sister Lina as she pinched the cheeks of the youngest sister, Nina. "Ouch, sis that hurts", said Nina, making her older sister snort as she let go of her. Nina rubbed her face to sooth the pain before saying.
"When I wanted to speak, you, sister Mina and sister Iris were already prepared to unsheathe your
swords, how was I supposed to speak in that situation... also it felt really nice to tell those guys to get
lost-
The other two sisters didn't know what to say, after she recovered, they noticed that their younger sister had become somehow livelier but didn't know why.
'Perhaps is a side effect of the pill she ate, I'll ask sister Layla for one later, thought the oldest, Lina.
