Chapter 1457 - The Hairy Savage
Twenty minutes later.
Everything happened like it was a dream.
Saran is standing along with the Clan"s leader and the rest of the elite team while Giyon and Senior Elder Ma are standing with their own respective groups. At least what has left of them anyway.
All the intruders have been cleared up. In the process, they also lost quite a few people of their own.
But at least this is still considered a victory.
Giyon went past the dead bodies and met with Saran.
"Where are they?"
"In the bas.e.m.e.nt. Please go on and take a look at how they are doing. I will clean up here and come down there."
Saran said with an exhaustive tone. He felt like his body is drained out of any kind of energy it could possess.
Giyon ran in and made her way towards the bas.e.m.e.nt and after reaching the door, she waved her hand and let Sam out.
Sam took the support of the wall and then brought his crutch out. They both walked to the door and opened it.
Inside they saw Saran"s wife cuddling their children as she tried to put them to sleep. But they are so curious and eager about the deathly noises coming from out that they were refusing to sleep. They felt relieved to see that the mother of the children is also not panicking that much.
She looked at them smiled.
"We won, didn"t we?"
"Yes, of course. This is the Gaja clan you are talking about." Giyon said with a wide grin as she and Sam walked to the kids.
When the kids saw Sam who sat on the ground near to them, they immediately turned towards him and tried to extend their hands.
Sam smiled and slid towards them and started playing with them.
"What happened to your arm and leg?"
Saran"s wife asked with concern.
"Nothing much. They are disposable anyway."
"How can they be disposable? They are…"
"Don"t worry madam, I exchanged them with a life of an elite Divine League member. I am pretty sure it is a fair trade."
"Please accept my apology. You are not even a member of this clan, but you had to go through this ordeal because of us."
"Please don"t say that. It is just a coincidence and someone came for me specifically too. You don"t have to blame yourself for it. All you need to do is stay safe and let the kids grow up in the proper care of both of their parents.
That would be enough payback for me."
"Is this why you tried so hard to hide our children? You took the blame for the lightning strikes, you didn"t let us announce the birth of the children, you even went as far as making those puppets that looked exactly like them.
Did you always antic.i.p.ate this would happen?"
"I had a hunch. I knew that people wouldn"t sit still when their rivals got something better. Particularly when that something is four children that could change the power balance of the realms as soon as they become adults.
I just understand the interests and mentality of people towards their interests a bit too well. That is it."
"We should have moved to a secluded place to give birth. Because of us, the clan has suffered so much. How many people have died, protecting four children? Is it really worth it?"
She lamented and started tearing up. Sam didn"t have the answer to that and he let Giyon console her. He just looked at the four children and kept them entertained.
If it was him, he would have that it is worth it. Even if the whole clan died, he would say it is worth it. Not because of the potential they have, just because they are children. They didn"t ask to be born, they didn"t ask for this talent and potential, they didn"t even know what they signify.
It is the elders and grownups that are so obsessed with these things and when someone comes from outside to covet it, it is the clan"s responsibility to save these innocent kids. Whether they want to or not.
Maybe his thoughts are unreasonable and don"t make any sense, but he really doesn"t care.
Giyon briefly explained the situation on what happened outside and how things are going now. Saran"s wife felt like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders as she hugged her children tighter.
"I think it is better for you to leave this place and go stay in a stray realm for a while. I am pretty sure that Saran can handle any possible troubles if you are in hiding."
Sam suggested and she nodded.
"We are actually planning to. But we don"t know how to deal with the const.i.tutions. It is hard for them to comprehend the cultivation techniques. We don"t even know if we have a proper cultivation technique for them at all.
We are in a confused state."
Sam nodded in understanding. It is a bit for them to deal with it all on their own at the start. They might have even wanted to meet with Clan"s leader and have spoken about it.
He started thinking about whether he could help in any way. Even though he has a lot of cultivation techniques at hand, they are not really suitable for the children. Their potential would be a waste if they used these techniques.
Of course, he does have a few ways to get the cultivation techniques, but no matter what it is, he needs to get his body back.
He cannot make contact with Ling Tian in his current body.
As he was thinking and the women are talking…
*BOOM*
There is another explosive sound that came from outside. All three of them exchanged glances and their hearts shook.
Giyon stood up and said.
"You guys stay here, I will go and take a look."
"No, wait…"
Sam stopped her and started thinking. He rapidly thought of any possible scenarios that are happening and how to get out of them, his brain acted like a computer processing millions of things at the same time.
Meanwhile.
Outside Saran"s residence.
Saran and Clan"s leader are standing side by side as they looked at the newcomer.
Senior Elder Ma who is handling the clean up of the deadbodies was stunned when he looked at the person that came in along with his subordinates.
The man has a robust figure with long hair dangling down his feet as he floated in the air.
He is the same young man who talked to his father about the phenomenon of lightning with his father on a hill in the Divine Graveyard.
"The Hairy Savage."
Senior Elder Ma muttered with his eyes widened in disbelief.
The clan"s leader also frowned when he heard these words as he knew who that person is. He never met him, but he heard his name quite some times.
The Hairy Savage. Albeit a comical name is the name of a man who sent shivers through many people"s spines within the grey circle.
And he arrived using a spatial transference along with his subordinates right after the Gaja Clan finished with one of the most exhaustive battles they had ever been in.
Currently, there are only three peak stage cultivators of Astral Plane Consummation and all three of them are exhausted beyond their limits.
"h.e.l.lo, leader of the Gaja clan." The Hairy Savage said as he looked at the Clan"s leader and then he turned to Saran.
"You must be one of the raceless abominations that gave birth to the prodigies."
Saran"s gaze became colder as he looked at the man. But he didn"t dare make a move. He knew for sure that this guy is not going to be easy to deal with. And he even brought another half a dozen Peak stage cultivators.
At this moment Giyon ran out of the bas.e.m.e.nt and came to the entrance to look at the whole scene. She was stunned as she looked at the man standing in the air.
"Why the f.u.c.k is this guy here?"
She muttered to herself in disbelief.
"I am really sorry to use this timing to my advantage like this. But there is nothing I could do about it. This chance is way too sweet for me to just let it go. Gail and Gamin are gone, your grand elders are dead and even you are all exhausted to a great extent.
This is the best chance for me to take the kids away without causing any ruckus all the while killing you guys if I have to. Don"t you think so?"
As the Hairy savage spoke, Giyon walked to Saran and the clan"s leader slowly as she explained something. She also took out an injector and injected some recovery vials into the clan"s leader and Saran rapidly.
"What are you doing?" The Hairy Savage said with a frown.
Giyon didn"t even look at her and kept on muttering in an extremely low tone.
"I am talking to you lady. What are you doing?"
But there is no response.
Giyon completely ignored him as if she hadn"t even heard his words.
