Chapter 233
Some underlings under the orders of Lar's grandfather appeared and tied up the three traitors . The ropes they used were specially designed to tie practitioners and were impossible to break for anyone under the Elder Rank .
There wasn't any resistance for part of the traitors; they hoped that someone would save them before being condemned for treason, but opposing resistance would just be committing suicide .
"Who do you think you are for arresting my son and my two grandsons?"
An old man who seemed to have a similar age and power than Lar's grandfather appeared showing anger in his face and his voice .
"They tarnished the honor of the clan by killing the members of the younger generation from my faction . If it wasn't because the excellent time control of my granddaughter's fiancée they would have really died . This matter must be investigated, and you can't stop it . "
Lar's grandfather wouldn't let those three escape after seeing the killing they had made; that time Yale saved them, but he didn't expect that Yale would be there for saving them the next time . After all, it was impossible that all the young members of his faction were always near to Yale in case of being attacked and asking Yale to take care of them would still be too shameful .
"Nonsense! You are freeing them right now!"
The old man wielded his sword and activated his bloodline completely to suppress the members of the younger generation with it; he was ready to kidnap them to force Lar's grandfather to let free the arrested ones . Of course, after obtaining what he wanted, he would kill the hostage .
He knew very well that even if he freed them, his whole faction would still be investigated, so he was planning to flee from the clan . In that situation, he wanted to kill as many as possible .
The pressure was unbearable for all the members of the younger generation; the old man wasn't using his power as a Grandmaster Rank expert to suppress them, but the Sword Bloodline, so it was difficult to Lar's grandfather to obtain proofs of his acts . It was difficult to determine who was using the bloodline to suppress others, so it would be difficult to prove who was the culprit; using their realm to suppress others would be far more evident .
Lar and Durgan were able to resist it a bit due to having a perfect bloodline, but it was obvious that the old man controlled the bloodline better despite having a slightly worse one . To Lar that was a shame because she should have a far better control given that her past life was one of the two people who created the Sword Bloodline .
Mercer directly lost his consciousness due to the pressure; his bloodline was far too weak to support that kind of suppression . That was one of the main motives the outer clan members had such a low position; they were very easy to suppress just relying on their bloodlines .
Yale felt the pressure, but he wasn't affected by it in the slightest by it . However, although the old man saw that, since Yale wasn't a member of the Larken Clan it was normal that he couldn't suppress him with his bloodline .
Having a bad bloodline like Mercer was even worse than not having any in case someone older wanted to suppress others using the bloodline .
"Using your bloodline to suppress the kids? You are shameless; it seems that you also need to be investigated . "
Lar's grandfather wasn't a fool, and even if he couldn't demonstrate who was suppressing the kids, he knew very well that to do such a great suppression, only someone like himself or that old man could do it .
"You have no proof! Maybe they all have just some illness, and it appeared to everyone at the same time . It should be an illness affecting bloodlines . See! That criminal from the Zhan Clan is fine; he should be the one who poisoned everyone . We are fine because his poison isn't strong enough . The kid who he grabbed before is the one in the worst state; this is the best proof . You need to kill him, and everyone would be healed; I am sure of that . Everything today is that criminal's fault, you are accusing my son and my grandsons unfairly . "
The face of Lar's grandfather was grim after hearing that; he knew who Yale was because Herken had already told him and he didn't plan to harm Yale in any way after Yale had saved everyone .
"Don't try to argue with him . He is also a traitor and probably knew that he would be caught after an investigation . In that case, I think that he will plan to harm as much as possible before fleeing . "
That message reached Lar's grandfather and Herken by Spiritual Sense, they had already guessed that, but they still hoped to solve that situation without needing to kill anyone until a proper investigation was made .
"You aren't trying to kill him? Then I will do justice for the clan and kill him! Let's see if he can use that method from before to save his life!"
That old man acted as his son before and attacked without any second thought, but he stopped while attacking . That stop was unnatural because he was still in the attack position and was completely frozen .
Lar's grandfather was about to go saving Yale, but the change in the situation made him stop .
Yale pointed his Space-time Judgment Sword towards the old man after having used Time Freezing on him .
"You four are traitors to this continent! You even betrayed your own bloodline! From now on, you aren't members of the noble clans! You aren't welcome in this continent nor this world! You will be cursed by your own bloodline for the highest treason!"
When Yale shouted those words they seemed to resonate in the head of everyone, the pressure from those words towards their bloodlines was far higher than the pressure that old man was able to provoke . Moreover, Yale's tone of voice was strange and unnatural; he seemed like a different person .
The Origin Sword Bloodline had awakened again due to feeling the pressure of another Sword Bloodline . Trying to suppress Yale's Sword Bloodline with another Sword Bloodline was a foolish thing instead of suppressing him, it has awakened the Origin Sword bloodline, and it was different from before as it was boiling like if it was extremely angry .
In fact, Yale spoke those words unconsciously being in a trance, even the Time Freezing was made in that state, or there would be no way he could freeze the time of a Grandmaster by that much time . Although he would be able to remember what he did after awakening from the trance, he didn't do it consciously .
Time Freezing stopped, but the old man fell to the ground and screamed instead of continuing the attack because his body was feeling the greatest pain of his life .
The three tied traitors also screamed while their face paled and started to age at a quick pace .
The effects on them were far greater than when Yale crippled the narrow-minded guy; their bloodlines turned even weaker than Mercer's bloodline which was trash among trash in the Larken Clan .
Inside their bodies, there was left just a tiny strand of bloodline, which had no use, but they could be suppressed by others who had better bloodlines . In fact, that tiny strand could just be detected by Yale, for others they had completely lost the Sword Bloodline .
The old man already looked ready to die; he had lost all his hair and teeth and looked emaciated . His remaining lifespan could probably be measured in days .
The other three were slightly better, but they were also really ancient, and their looks didn't differ too much from the other traitor; one of them had at most some month left, and those who were the younger ones could have a year more of life if they had luck .
When someone got the body to that state, advancing in strength turned almost impossible, and the real power they could use was far inferior to their real one; that old man at the Grandmaster Rank was just able to use the strength of an Apprentice Rank, if he used his Grandmaster Rank strength for half-second he would die instantly .
The others were in a similar state, their decrease in strength wasn't that big, but the max power they could use without dying instantly was just at the Novice Rank .
They had been completely crippled, even the members of the younger generation were stronger than them, and there was no way they could stop Lar's grandfather .
"So, it was true . I never expected that those words left behind would really happen . "
A woman with an icy face was looking the current scene hidden in the sky . She looked young and beautiful, but the look on her eyes revealed that she was truly ancient .
