Chapter 422
Bennett Wayne finally appeared, he looked at the now free Sasha and grinned.
"You finally come." Sasha smiled and said shyly.
"Of course I did my little seductress.."
Bennett looked at Sasha lustfully and she also reciprocated by acting seductively.
"But before I enjoy you, let me deal with this imp." Bennett turned towards Leylin and smiled with raw menace.
A two-meter-long scorpion tail jutted out behind his back. It curved and swayed in the air, producing a burst of chilling, surging energy that froze everyone's heart.
Leylin wore a cold face, sneered, "You aren't worth my time. Go get him!"
Leylin ordered and a bunch of light suddenly flew out from the Blood Vein Ring. The King of Demonic Insects instantly appeared and stormed toward Bennett Wayne.
"The King of Demonic Insects, level eight beast!" Some Sea Tribes warriors who knew the origin of the King of Demonic Insects couldn't help but exclaim in fear, expressing frightened faces.
The King of Demonic Insects was a level eight beast that could be compared to a Spirit Realm warrior. As it had been through many years of arduous cultivation, its strength was not much lower than that of a Second Sky of Spirit Realm human warrior. It also knew soul attacks. As soon as the King of Demonic Insects came out, energy fluctuations diffused and enveloped Barren City entirely.
Immediately, all the warriors were affected. They realized that their consciousness was a little fuzzy, and their spirit became difficult to concentrate.
It was because the King of Demonic Insects' surging spirit had aimed at Bennett only. If it spread all of its spiritual power, the warriors would suffer more tragically.
Bennett's face also changed and became serious. Seeing the King of Demonic Insects dashing over, he cried, "A level eight beast, no wonder why you're that arrogant."
He didn't dare to neglect and quickly launched all of his powers. His scorpion tail made sizzling sounds and rippling lights that naked eyes could see, forming a beam of light that shot towards the King of Demonic Insects. In that light beam, the King of Demonic Insects' speed slowed down, but it still kept dashing towards Bennett.
His scorpion tail urged the strength. Bennett's face convulsed, and a strange piece of mask quickly grew up on his face.
A sinister aura was released from him, which made the area surrounding him explode continually. Some structures of the Alaister's building were shaken, apparently getting affected from his energy.
Once a Spirit Realm warrior released his power, it could affect the movement of heaven and earth energy.
The energy that he gathered made the vital force at the bottom of the sea stir up, resulting in a huge change in the sea that rose all the water around.
Bennett shouted, wanting to cross the King of Demonic Insects to directly behead Leylin. The King of Demonic Insects seemed to know his intention. When he launched his power, many powerful spiritual energy fluctuations suddenly lined up and darted towards him.
Bennett was flying over, but then suddenly became stagnant in the void while his face showed a pained look.
Leylin stood on the platform, indifferently looking at Bennett and the King of Demonic Insects fighting.
'One, two.. three. There are three more Spirit Realm Experts here but none of them seems to have malicious intent. Even if they were to stand in my way I can deal with them if I go all out, but it would be a very troublesome situation if they all join forces and obstruct me allowing 'him' to come here as well.' Leylin thought to himself as he gauged all the hidden yet explosive auras surrounding the Barren City.
A full on confrontation to the death isn't a scenario in line with Leylin goals, this is still the world of Sea tribes. They are much stronger here and to become their enemy without reason isn't smart. Especially when they have a warrior who is hailed as the single most strongest warrior even when putting the Endless Sea experts in the equation.
'I guess I should end it quickly, it's a pity I can't kill this idiot otherwise the Sea tribe would turn against me for sure.'
Seeing Bennett be hindered by a level eight beast, the Sea Tribes warriors who were waiting around all had a surprised visage
At this moment, they thought that Leylin feared nothing because he had a level eight beast.
Those who wanted to take the opportunity to launch their attacks had to be docile, and quietly moved backward on seeing the King of Demonic Insects.
Outside the Alaister family's walls, many clans of the Sea Tribes were slowly gathering. It seemed that all the Sea Tribes hotshots dwelling in Barren City already knew about the situation here. Intimidating aura rippled from time to time from the city.
It was unknown how many Sea Tribes supreme hotshots were hiding in Barren City, using special ways to conceal their auras and secretly observing the situation that was happening with the Alaister family.
The young man, who was now the focus of everyone, was standing upright like a sharp sword.
Leylin stood proudly on the platform with a calm appearance. Under the crowd's attention, he was not distressed but very relaxed.
A First Sky of Spirit Realm warrior was blocked by a level eight beast. He couldn't chop off that demonic insect; on the contrary, he kept retreating. Eventually, Bennett showed a sign of not being able to resist any longer.
This change terrified many Sea Tribes members, which changed their attitude towards the Alaisters.
Even if a dominant force had declined, its intimidation would exist for life.
They thought that as King Abaddon was in confinement of the Demon Kings, it would lead to a major change for the Alaister family. However, in the most difficult time, a young man appeared from nowhere.
As soon as he launched his blow, he immediately caused the tragic deaths of all of his opposers. Moreover, he released a level eight demonic beast that brought Bennett a miserable time.
This huge contrast frightened all the warriors who thought that the Alaister family would be removed from the Barren City today.
Those who stayed hidden in the dark with the intention of having a share of the cultivating materials didn't want to show up now, as they continued to hide their auras, waiting to see the situation before making their decision.
'The fight is stagnating, this scorpion guy isn't going all out. This won't do, I need to incense him. Oh well although I can't kill him, you are pretty disposal.'
"Brother!" Bennett shouted in excitement. He hurried to sway his scorpion tail to release the same green patterned light, blending with the other's light.
More illusions of poisonous scorpions appeared inside the green light. This green light somehow had a miraculous effect, as if it was like a muddy puddle that could slow down the malicious death seal hacking down on Bennett.
"You are the patriarch Otis Wayne of the Water Scorpion Clan?" Leylin looked at the person floating in the sky.
Leylin said softly with a bow, "I wonder about the intentions of Patriarch Otis coming here."
Otis and Bennett looked pretty similar. They both had cold, dark, and thin faces. Cold light flared up from their eyes as they looked at Leylin, who was standing arrogantly at the Alaister family platform.
Otis clasped his hands behind his back, snorted and said, "Until now, my Water Scorpion Clan has had no grudges with the Alaister. This event is unexpected, and Bennett has caused it himself alone. It isn't related to our Water Scorpion Clan."
"Brother... "
"Shut up!" The boisterous scene suddenly calmed down, as many members of the Sea Tribes looked at the patriarch of the Water Scorpion Clan.
Otis coldly glared at his brother and shouted at him. "Just because of a girl, you're fighting against our ally. Your discretion's getting worse."
Unexpectedly, he gave Bennett a lesson. Bennett paled, wanted to say something, but finally kept his mouth shut under the warning eye of his brother.
"Bennett got his lesson. I think we should stop here. Anyway, you've killed that woman. I think you've already vented your anger, haven't you?"
"I see, it seems I have misunderstood the intentions of Lord Otis. It's best to look beyond such small misunderstandings.....After all we are allies."
"Of course," nodded Otis.
Zander and the others also felt happy, nodding at each other.
Otis words meant that his Water Scorpion Clan wouldn't have any different thoughts anymore. He seemed to know Leylin was really tough to go against, and he also knew that if he turned his back on the Alaister Family this time, it wouldn't bring any benefits to the Water Scorpion Clan in the future. So, he had expressed his attitude and thoughts to Leylin in front of everybody.
But there was another reason why Otis chose to do this. Otis who had a calm expression on his face couldn't help but rub his hands behind his back together.
He could feel some wrinkles appearing on them, Otis felt the peculiarity of the situation as soon as he stopped the momentum of the death seal. Although he's sure that he can heal himself back to normal after some time but such a show of upanishads comprehension as well as Leylin's powers also deterred him considerably.
"Our Naga Tribe's always maintained a good relationship with the Alaister. We always favor the Alaister Family's position in Barren City. No matter what, as long as members of the Alaister stay in Barren City, the order in the city will still be under the family's control. As the head of the Naga Tribe, I want to express myself here, too." A soft voice arose among the people of the Sea Tribes. A beautiful female Naga wearing a bamboo veiled hat slowly walked forward.
"Matriarch of the Nagas!"
"She has also come here?"
"I can believe this woman's here." Many of the Sea Tribes couldn't help but sigh. They were discussing with low voices and strange looks. Not everyone was surprised that the Matriarch of the Naga showed her support for the Alaister Family. She always had the best relationship with the family and there are even some rumours about her and King Abaddon but obviously no one dares to speculate too much further into it.
"We, the Silver Shark Clan, also want to express our ideas." A tremor came from a tall building on the south of Barren City. People then saw a man wearing a silver robe coming towards Leylin from the top of that building. His face was vague from a distance.
"Ah, the patriarch of the Silver Shark Clan!"
"Is it true that all heads of the tribes have come to Barren City today? They do appreciate the Alaister Family."
"Wow! I didn't think that even the patriarch of the Silver Shark Clan has come here personally. It really surprises people." Warriors from the Sea Tribes and the human race suddenly burst out in discussion with surprised eyes. The Silver Shark Clan was the strongest among the other clans of the Sea Tribes.
Yashir Vikram, the patriarch of the Silver Shark Clan, had the cultivation base of Second Sky of Spirit Realm, whose intimidating name was famous among the Sea Tribes, as he had used his arrogance and coldness to swagger undersea for years. Apparently, he had never been defeated.
That year, when Alaister Abaddon had entered the Spirit Realm and gone to the seabed, because of his arrogance, he had some dispute with Yashir. It was said that the two of them had a great fight undersea, but it wasn't clear who won. After that fight, the Silver Shark Clan approved the overlord position of the Alaister Family in Barren City.
As Yashir was as powerful as Abaddon, and he was also the Spirit Realm warrior of the previous generation, he had a noble position among the Sea Tribes members. Many young Sea Tribe men idolized him. When this man was young, he had come to the Endless Sea and provoked many Spirit Realm warriors to engage in battles with him. And, they had rarely received news of him being defeated.
No one had expected that he would be at Barren City today. Moreover, he had reaffirmed the overlord position of the Alaister Family in Barren City. The Silver Shark Clan was stronger than the Naga and the Water Scorpion Tribes. Also, Yashir was personally stronger than Laurel(Matriarch of the Naga) and Otis. It made his words heavier than theirs.
"Then I must express our gratitude instead of my family." Leylin looked at all of them and said with a confident tone, not a bit worried about so many experts coming here at the same time.
"Boy, you're are as arrogant as Alaister Abaddon but you also have a way with words. A guy like you is truly dangerous. But, I like it." Yashir smiled, then said mildly, "No matter it's on the seabed or on the Endless Sea, the stronger ones have the voice. As you have demonstrated your sufficient capacity, we feel relieved to leave Barren City in your hands."
"We will not betray your trust." Leylin said with a friendly smile, but when he used the word 'betray' he seemed to imply something.
"Hahaha...Intresting! Although the Silver Shark Clan won't bother with your stuff, you have to deal with the Black Flood Dragon Clan yourself. Haha, This time, the ones who want your Alaister Family to doom the most isn't us the Silver Shark Clan, or the Naga and the Water Scorpion Tribes. If you could earn the approval from that fella of the Black Flood Dragon Clan, then you can be considered to hold the whole Barren City in your hands." Yashir laughed coldly as he was moving further and further. In just a short time, he had disappeared from the Barren City.
