The swarming the core pavilion of Soul Rending Peak felt their eyes contract into small pins after hearing Dyon’s roar.
They were certain that Dyon’s energy cultivation was only of the first essence level, however his roar… It was more powerful than a normal celestial!
‘His body!’ They all thought at once.
Suddenly, they felt like all of this was a little to inconceivable. How could a mere 98th quadrant have such a powerful member of the younger generation? And why did it seem like he was in conflict with their number one sect? It couldn’t be that this mere 98th quadrant was stupid to the point of angering such a talent, could it?
It was then that many looked toward the Devil Cultivators and their confusion deepened.
Seeing them, they could also only think of one word: geniuses!
None of this made any sense. If there were such geniuses here, this quadrant wouldn’t merely be ranked 98th. It seemed Soul Market wasn’t their only secret…
It was at that point that the top-level figures of the various families began to show up one by one. First it was those of the four up and coming families, then it was the White Mother of The Cathedral, before finally, the family head of the Caedes family came back with a bright eyed Donari behind him grinning like a madman.
The White Mother frowned when she saw that it was in fact Dyon. It didn’t take her long to reach the same conclusion Lilith had. However, she quickly relaxed. As long as she secretly communicated with a few members of their Soul Market council, this would be resolved easily.
However, she didn’t believe it had to go that far. If she brought this up too soon, it would give them an excuse to ask for greater benefits. Although they had made a lot of profit from Soul Market since its opening, this final auction had the potential to match and directly double the profits of the last 600 years. How could she turn her nose up at that?
After this was all finished, she would directly take her cut and live out the rest of her life leisurely.
The only problem that remained was Dyon. She had to make sure that he didn’t release any information about Soul Market to the public before he died, or else their lives and her picture of the future would be ruined.
“Haha,” Donari laughed almost hysterically, “I knew he wouldn’t die so easily. As if someone who defeated me would die so soon.”
In sharp contrast to his son’s reaction, the Caedes family head had a deep frown wrinkling his brow.
“Take him down.” The White Mother spoke to her priests resolutely. “Quickly and cleanly. Don’t give him an opportunity to speak.”
The Cathedral had hundreds of saints, but only a dozen celestials. The only reason Soul Rending Peak could still be seen as their equal was because of the Master’s power which surpassed even the White Mother.
The white clad priests nodded with sinister expressions, causing those disciples watching to be shocked. Wasn’t this the morally upright cathedral? Why were they acting now?
Seeing the shift in public opinion, the White Mother smiled lightly, looking very much like a loveable grandmother. “It is our duty to wipe evil from the world. This former disciple of Soul Rending Peak has not only severely injured many, he’s killed a core elder. After this, he not only had no remorse, he even threatened to kill more. Is this not justifiable reason for our intervention?
“Since the Master is nowhere to be found, we only hope to solidify our relationship by helping in his stead.”
Hearing this explanation, the crowd suddenly felt that it was very reasonable.
Although Dyon’s expression didn’t change when he saw so many saints and celestials swarming toward him, he was frowning on the inside.
He was already suppressed to more than 50%. The reason he defeated Elder Bowa so easily was that the energy away from a planet is far weaker, so the suppression was also weaker.
That said, even there, he was suppressed to 40-45%.
He defeated Elder Bowa after activating his wings to their highest level. Although he wasn’t exactly certain of the boost to his battle prowess, his estimation was about two to three times.
As for the core elder of Soul Rending Peak, he was far weaker than Elder Bowa. It had to be remembered that those of The Cathedral weren’t forced to harm their souls at birth. However, the core elder would definitely have. Because of this, his battle prowess was significantly less than anyone from The Cathedral.
This was all to say was that without his Demon Emperor’s Will, Dyon had no confidence in defeating so many enemies.
“How troublesome.” Dyon’s eyes focused with a sharp light. “Since I can’t defeat them directly, why don’t I play with you all to death then?”
‘They’ve finished, right?’ Dyon asked.
‘Yes, the final batch came in a while ago.’ Little Yin’s voice sounded in Dyon’s ear.
“Good.” Dyon grinned. ‘This’ll only work once, so let’s make it count.’
The priests surged toward Dyon, each releasing the momentum of their cultivation to their upper limits.
Although Dyon found it a pity that the White Mother didn’t act personally, his calm and tranquil appearance didn’t change.
Just when the nearly two hundred priests were about to reach Dyon, a massive array appeared causing their eyes to widen in shock. Before any of them could react, they were directly enveloped by the light.
They tried to struggle, but it was all futile. How could anyone below the dao formation realm resist the effects of a Planet level array?
In an instant, nearly two hundred priests disappeared.
