Vol 1 Chapter 38 (1/2)
Barbalias City, in the Yama Clan.
The eyes of an old man in cultivation suddenly shot open and immediately flashed with bloodthirsty traces of madness and fury.
“Ka Luoya, get out here!” The old man’s tone was severe and icy as it carried within it a dignity that no one could defy.
“Yes, Ancestor!” A graceful and seductive figured woman swiftly appeared before the old man at once as she replied in an extremely respectful tone.
“I told you to protect Luojia properly, but the way you’ve handled this matter makes me greatly disappointed!” The old man berated her in an angry voice.
“What? Something happened to Young Master Yajia Luojia? No, that’s impossible!”
“Impossible? His spiritual imprint disappeared! We’ve put forth a lot of painstaking effort for the sake of this child’s special innate talent, to the point of secretly placing a spiritual imprint on him in case something happened. However, this imprint has suddenly disappeared, vanished like scattered ashes and dispersed smoke! This means that he was instantly killed by someone. Even his spirit was completely crushed!”
The old man was infuriated to the point that he was about to go insane. Although the Yama Clan was a 7th Xing monarch clan, how difficult it was to actually reach this realm! It was simply unimaginable. He himself had outstanding 6th He ancestor innate meditative talent, yet he had bitterly cultivated for nearly a thousand years without breaking through to the 6th He ancestor realm. To this day, he was still at the pinnacle of 5th Xing 10th layer!
“Based on Luojia’s innate talent, he probably would not even need three hundred years before he would undoubtedly reach the 6th He realm. However, this kind of talented junior was actually killed by someone! Hmph, this is the answer you give in response to the matter I’ve entrusted into your hands?!”
The old man’s tone was fierce, seeming as though he hated that he could not kill this woman in front of him a thousand times to vent his anger.
“Ancestor… This, I will give Ancestor an explanation! All in all, the Six Devil Wind Elders are always guarding besides Young Master. These six are all peak mages at 4th Xing 10th layer, and most importantly, they can interlink their minds. Once they take action, they hold the advantage over most 5th Xing mage envoys, and their strength is comparable to an expert at the 5th Xing 2nd or even 3rd layer. Young Master should not have had anything happen to him. In a while, I’ll undertake a detailed investigation, and at that time—”
The old man only swept a frosty glance over the woman. She continued to explain, but ultimately shut her mouth abruptly!
“You can go. Remember, it’s better to kill one thousand people than overlook a suspicious one, especially in the area where the incident took place. No matter how powerful the n.o.bility are there, and regardless of how powerful the personages are there, kill all who resist!”
“Yes, Ancestor!” The woman bowed with an expression of respect at once then swiftly retreated from this training ground.
After a short while, she arrived in the main hall of the Yama Clan. At this moment, many of the elders, disciples, and protectors of the clan were already present due to the alarm bell.
As for the clan leader of the Yama Clan, he currently stood respectfully besides Ka Luoya.
“Ascetic Ka, might I ask what exactly the emergency is?” The Yama Clan’s clan leader could not help but ask. However, although he asked, it was clear that cold sweat dotted his entire face and that his face was inextricably pale. Obviously, at this point, this matter could no longer be concealed.
In the afternoon four or five days before, a core elite disciple had suddenly run over with a panic-stricken expression and knelt before him, telling him in great terror that something major had happened.
Only under his interrogation did he find out that a variant magical beast core that was especially given to outstanding talents within the elite core disciples—one that recorded one’s spirit force, had abruptly shattered. As for the owner of this magical beast core, it was the backbone of the clan, the future clan leader – Young Master Yajia Luojia.
After discovering this, he also panicked. However, he also believed that the situation was not necessarily the way it seemed because problems could also arise within magical beast cores themselves as well. It was also possible that the core had shattered because Yajia Luojia had suddenly fallen extremely short on spirit force. Therefore, he did not dare to immediately report it because once a situation like this occurred under his supervision, it would clearly lead to his beheading!
