Chapter 1586 - Eradicating Evil?
"So what if he is alive, and what if he is not? What do you Dragon Families still intend to do by coming here, Domitian Family's Patriarch?"
A voice resounded with composure and conviction clear in it. It sounded as if it was full of wisdom.
The Domitian Family's Patriarch, who wore crimson robes, flicked his sleeves while his eyes blazed with flames of the legendary Fire Dragon. The temperature of the atmosphere they were in went up.
"Temple Master of the Heaven Mandate Temple. If he's not alive, we still came to get back our spatial rings and hold a few individuals accountable to show that they can't just offend us without paying a certain price."
"Foolishness." The Heaven Mandate Temple Temple Master's lips curved into one of annoyance, "The tragedy has occurred, and it is absurd to continue this disorder. It has been confirmed that he is dead. I would advise you all to leave, lest you experience the same fate as the Zlatan Family."
"Oh yeah? How are we going to experience the same fate when he is supposedly dead? Or, do you know that he is still alive? Or if I may be bold, I think you people dare to protect a person who is titled the Emperor of Death! It is now obvious that hateful brat practiced Death Laws, so why wouldn't you people who claim to be more righteous than the Dragon Families take a step forward and obliterate his corpse completely from the face of the world and even his family and descendants if necessary?"
Domitian Family's Patriarch gave a long-winded speech as he dared the Heaven Gazing Sect and Heaven Mandate Temple. The two other Patriarchs and six Grand Elders all possessed smiling expressions on their faces as they mockingly looked at them.
The Temple Master narrowed his golden eyes while his handsome face scrunched up in exasperation.
"We came to determine that, but if you're still going to attack them, suit yourself. However, remember that your Dragon Families are in the complete wrong. We have thousands of witnesses who can all point their fingers at you for committing sinful deeds like trying to kidnap a woman, even a married one at that."
"Ah! That woman needs to be eliminated now that we know that she is a wife of a cultivator who uses Death Laws, so even if we were proven wrong, there is no wrong in harming the family of a cultivator who practices Death Laws."
"Have you ever seen Emperor of Death use Death Laws, although he may be titled as one just a while ago? Or have you even have felt a semblance of his death energy?"
"Hmph! This wolf seems to be more than evidence, no?"
The Domitian Family's Patriarch scoffed as he pointed at Nadia while the Temple Master sighed.
"This wolf may be one, but was he a cultivator who practiced Death Laws? We have yet to obtain a shred of solid evidence, but we, on the other hand, even have a wicked path powerhouse restrained, ready to shed light on your Dragon Families collaborating with them in order to make your ends meet. In the end, your actions were all ridiculous and a disgrace to the righteous path that I can hear the wicked path laughing from all over the world!"
The expressions of the Dragon Families' Powerhouses became unsightly as they recalled Blood Thorn from the words of Sarax Orcha and Heztus Ike.
Indeed, Zanna Silverwind had kept Blood Thorn suppressed because his slave seal had broken after Davis supposedly died. In truth, there was no need to suppress a cripple. Instead, she could be said to be guarding him for evidence.
"Therefore, if you make a move against them, the Four Great Righteous Sects will have no choice but to take action against you all!"
The Temple Master of the Heaven Mandate Temple gave his ultimatum, and when he gave his words, almost everyone knew that it was almost as if it was heaven's will themselves.
The expressions of the Dragon Families' Patriarchs became even more unsightly.
At this moment, none of them were harmed but should they still make a move when the two of the four Great Righteous Sects remained this adamant. They had just lost one of them, the Zlatan Family, which became a huge blow to their unified strength, unlike the Four Great Righteous Sects, which still possessed their capabilities.
The atmosphere became tense, with both of them glaring at each other while Nadia and Old Man Yorhan kept each other in check.
While they were slowly coming to a decision, Ancestor Dian Alstreim was swarmed with his Grand Elders, ready to take up their positions in a formation given by Isabella to them before the grand marriage. It had enough prowess to reach Low-Level Ninth Stage when a dozen Grand Elders combined their prowess, but even then, it was only barely able to reach.
Nevertheless, a Grand Elder suddenly opened his mouth.
"Ancestor, I think we should tell the Heaven Mandate Temple about the Forsaken Phoen-"
*Bang!~* *Shhizz!~*
A burst of brilliant crimson flames suddenly encased that Grand Elder, and before he could even cry out in burning pain, he turned into ashes.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim turned his head and saw that it was none other than the Grand Elder who seemed to previously have a beef with Isabella for supposedly a petty reason. Nevertheless, he couldn't be bothered about this Grand Elder whom he had put on the suspicious list for a long time already betraying about now. He had seen it coming.
Instead, he glanced at everyone's dumbfounded expressions and uttered with coldness.
"Everyone should've understood my intent now..."
The Grand Elders couldn't help but gulp in fear.
Was he still their kind Ancestor? Or did he go insane after losing the most powerful genius of their family?
They didn't know.
Ancestor Tirea Snow didn't say anything about his actions. Even she carried out these iron-handed actions in order to be together with Ancestor Dian Alstreim back in the Falling Snow Sect.
"Humans!!!"
At this time, Nadia's voice echoed out loud with her menacing tone that shook the hearts of the powerhouses present. Even the Temple Master of the Heaven Mandate Temple seemed to have gone wide-eyed, not because of her voice, but he could see this ominous wolf's level rising!
*Bzzz!~*
"I told you all to leave. Don't test my limited patience."
Nadia's body became covered in boundless pitch-black energy as her energy rose before it became stable. Her breakthrough was such that that it didn't even rock the plains but was as seamless as if it hadn't created much of a difference.
However, all of them could feel their lives become entangled in danger. A solemn expression flashed past their eyes, wanting to get rid of this ominous wolf before it could grow more.
Certainly, they could still kill it with their lineup if they worked together, right? There's even Old Man Yorhan and Heaven Gazing Sect's Grand Elders who possessed unique physiques.
"From now on, not a single one of you is allowed to enter this Territory unless you gain approval from my Mistress Isabella!"
Suddenly, a massive magical beast punctured the ground from below and bellowed as she flew out, her draconic voice screeching the eardrums of the powerhouses.
The expressions of the Dragon Families Powerhouses were unsightly as they looked at the towering Earth Dragon. They had been wondering if it had been real, but the rumor they had heard about an Earth Dragon appearing in the Grand Alstreim City was now practically confirmed through their eyes.
Isabella is an inheritor of an Immortal Inheritance!
"Nothing but a Mid-Level Emperor Beast Stage Dragon that wouldn't be able to even take a single punch from me! How arrogant!?" The Domitian Family's Patriarch harrumphed before he turned to look at the ominous wolf with disdain.
"Hmph! You are on the same level as this Earth Dragon. So what if you have Death Laws!? I'll burn you to death, you sinister mutt!"
The one who lost his arm to Nadia's attack sneered inwardly while the other three Honorable Elders appeared the same. They didn't tell about Nadia's abnormal prowess to other than anyone but their Temple Master and the others within their group.
Nevertheless, they couldn't be fighting against each other when eradicating evil.
Nadia's eyes flashed with a menacing purple gleam.
However, she suddenly turned to look at Old Man Yorhan and growled. Swirls of death energy converged before her mouth before it was launched at him, its deathly might erupting to an unprecedented level!
Old Man Yorhan's only reaction was to widen his eyes in terror and disbelief as resplendent yellow light filled his entire surroundings while his bald head glowed as though he was like a superior meditative being.
"What the hell? Why am I being attacked!?"
"Leave!"
Nadia growled for a second time while Old Man Yorhan clenched his teeth, looking at the Dragon Families and the Heaven Mandate Temple appear behind Nadia as reinforcements to kill her. His expression inwardly rejoiced as he felt like if he could drag this on for a moment, victory would be theirs.
"Hmph! Give me back the spatial rings, and I'll truly leave!"
"Then die!"
Nadia's eyes gleamed with a sinister purple light while her purplish-black horn suddenly struck out with a hellish dark might. The speed and might of her attack had even reached a more unprecedented level as she unleashed her species technique when she was a Dark-Winged Twilight Wolf.
Her soul-shattering attack neared Old Man Yorhan who's scalp turned numb when he raised his defense with his Peak-Level Soul Emperor Stage soul force that could even defend against two Dragon Families' Patriarchs at the same time, but Nadia's soul-shattering species technique practically ripped through his defenses and struck his soul!
"AhhhhH!!! It hurts!!! Stop!!! I'll leave!!!"
Old Man Yorhan threw his head up and screamed in pain, instantly knowing that his soul had been critically injured while being plagued by the ominous death energy. Although he didn't seem to die, he swiftly turned around and flew for his life!
"You shall not move nor defend!"
But at the same time, numerous attacks, flames, water, wind, and a mandate all struck a helpless Nadia simultaneously, causing her to let out a painful whimper that ripped almost half of her body.
"Ahahaha! How's that!?"
The Domitian Family's Patriarch crazily laughed as his facial expressions spasmed while palms lit up in flames, intending to burn Nadia alive as he said and unleashed it.
However, they didn't notice that this ominous wolf they attacked only possessed a single tail. Just when they were about to rejoice, almost hunting this truly mystical magical beast, a pitch-black world covered their sight, making their hearts all skip a beat!
A small yet elongated pitch-black claw came right beside Domitian Family's Patriarch head, almost piercing through his head when he suddenly yelled and activated every ounce of strength he could muster
"Fire Dragon's Martial Crest!!!"
Terrifying dark red flames emerged from his head, intending to defend against the attack when...
*Puchi!~*
Nadia's claws changed directions pierced through his abdomen, slicing a major chunk of it, including his lower dantian, while blood splashed like a fountain, bloodying her body before it was all eradicated by her ominous swirling death energy.
The others who were engulfed by the darkness vaguely saw two dark, ominous wolves, one injured while the other almost practically killed the Domitian Family's Patriarch, their scalps turning numb in fright as they all retreated together!
