"Tonight, we will breakthrough and ascend from our position as first steps cultivator. And what is greater than killing a noisy bug for celebrating this event!", he then turned toward the four other individuals who sat on around the table.Those men weren"t elders or native from the Earth but were guest that came from otherworldly clans, and planets that were far from the Earth. The n.o.ble families" cultivation technique, resources, and contacts with the cultivation world had all come from them. Their standing in the n.o.ble families was on par with the elders.
Their existence was akin to the relation of the families with the cultivation era. And one of the reasons why the other n.o.ble families were h.e.l.lbent on taking the position of the leading families was the exchange for more resources with the otherworldly guests.
The golden family elder flashed a polite smile toward the four otherworldly guests and exclaimed in a calm tone.
"Can I count on you, good sirs?", even as he asked ma.s.sive hesitation flashed on his pupil for a second. It was the first time he was requesting direct a.s.sistance from the guests, but this time their business and alliance might get reduced to nothing due to the young cultivator.
"I know that in our contract, you have made a large emphasis on not helping our families in front combat. But this case… It is too special, and I fear that if we don"t weed out this problem. It could lead to the termination of our families…"
Even as the word escaped his lips, he couldn"t help but feel as if he had already swallowed a loss from Fell, and anger boiled down his innards even more. Thankfully, the guests in front of him knew the stakes that were at hand, and the four of them nodded in silence.
He exhaled a soft sight before looking at the three elder he was allied with and grabbed one of the boxes on the tables before sitting in silence. "Those pills aren"t exactly safe, my brothers… They will help us open up our path to the second step of our cultivation, but the price that we will have to pay up with will be either our lifespan… Or life!"
His eyes flashed with an evil glare as his determination solidified. "Tonight, not only will we weed out that trouble. But we will also a.s.sert our dominance to a whole other level!"
The Taggerio elder couldn"t help but mumble a few doubt, "This plan… need to stay secret, and whatever happens tonight can"t leave the walls of this mansion."
The Merendinis elder added, "Let"s use that b.a.s.t.a.r.d as the culprit! His cultivation is so advanced at his age that no one will deny that his methods can"t be evil!"
A burst of lengthy laughter escaped from the Golden family elder, and he looked at his fellow elders with deep appreciation. "What a great idea. Not only will we achieve our goals, but we will also protect our backs."
He then fell in deep silence and added in a severe tone, "And if I"m not wrong, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d hadn"t only made enemies with us…". He turned toward the guests with a smile that wasn"t one.
"If I"m not wrong, his breakthrough had already spread like waves through your ranks. And knowing you guys, you wouldn"t hesitate to sell that information to the biggest buyer."
One of the otherworldly guests couldn"t help but be surprised by the golden elder"s speech, but his astonishment grew by a large margin by what would leave the elder"s lips next. "If I follow that train of thought, this city will be no more in less than a few days…"
The four guests" physical reactions showed that the golden family elder"s word had hit the mark. The latter didn"t show any response and continued speaking in a matter of fact tone. "Sorry for the early lie, but it looks like a.s.serting our dominance to a dead city is to no use."
"But I"m sure four, second steps cultivator, are of use to your organizations!"
The Taggerio, Merendinis, and Henrys elders finally reacted; the information that was just ushered by the golden elder wasn"t known to them. And not even talking about the future destruction of the city, they weren"t also aware of the fact that Earth"s enemies were that reactive.
"Are you asking us to abandon our own blood!?"
"A century of work can"t be wasted like that!"
"Are you insane, Golden!?
The Golden family threw a disappointed gaze to his peers and began retorting with an unparalleled twisted logic.
"Your blood and descendant won"t be abandoned… They will sadly have to fuse with us and accompany us on our journey to immortality. The organization up there has no use for them, and with these pills, we can save them for a hopeless future.", a saddened tone was apparent in his speech. But an even harsher reality existed in his words.
"As for your century of work, Merendinis, look at yourself and dare to tell me that it will be wasted. Your cultivation base has grown by leap and bounds. Your knowledge, far wider than before and the path that has opened to us, can lead us to achieve even grander deeds!", his voice boomed through the dimly lighted room.
Even the otherworldly guests couldn"t help but agree inwardly with his thoughts. Cultivators have far bigger lifespan than mortals, and families could be gained back during those many years.
"It is not me who is insane Henrys… It is this filthy world, and don"t you dare to no agree with me on this one!", the anger he had buried in his heart resurfaced for a second. "New Casablanca is doomed, and its numerous citizens will soon live a life worse than death. But we can change that; we can bid our times and grow to the point where we wouldn"t need outsider"s help."
"So… Fellow Cultivators, are you with me in this journey?", the way he addressed the three other elders changed.
