Chapter 5102 The Younger Generation From The Saint's Alliance
Chapter 5102 The Younger Generation From The Saint's Alliance
Saint Riyal Mendez paused a little, "Well, it's not officially announced yet since the ones who could make the trip are wealthy in the first place and are willing to settle in the Chrono Reign Upper Realm in case the desolate era finishes encompassing all sixteen realms entirely and causes the realm pathways to extend ridiculously long that it will take maybe- I don't know, maybe hundred times the time to cross just a single realm?"
"However, rumors are already spreading that these two competitions will be held earlier next year at the same time, and special transportation will be made available across all realms by the Hyluan Family of the Chrono Reign Upper Realm and the Atlas Family of the Void Autarch Upper Realm. Everyone who aspires to be at the top of their stage will go, and these friends I've gathered are no different."
"I see." City Lord Davis looked at them, his gaze finally falling on the four youths.
Saint Riyal Mendez introduced them with a gesture, "This is Pretzen Grayscale, the youngest son of the Grayscale Poison Hound Clan's Patriarch."
Davis had seen this person before. He was none other than the young master who threatened handsome fatty in broad daylight.
His gaze then moved to the white-robed man with gray hair and a black-robed man with crimson hair.
"This is Girias, who has inherited the blood from both the Dark Moon Lightning Serpent and Shadowbolt Lightning Cloud Serpent, a Great Saint Magical Beast. He is taken in by Blackcurse Voidfang Eel Clan for his talent."
"This is Harmon, who has inherited the blood from the Soul-Devouring Blood Vulture Clan and managed to successfully mutate it with another magical beast bloodline, which is Devil-Cleaving Shadow Vulture, a Great Saint Magical Beast. He was admitted into the Morvane Family for his talent."
"Lastly, there's no need for an introduction about the crown prince of the Abyssal Radiance Empire, but I'll still say it. His name is Wilxes Ingrimm, the ninth son of the Ingrimm Imperial Family's Emperor, with hopes to enter the Absolute Primarch Stage as he is highly talented in comprehending Laws!"
Saint Riyal Mendez excitedly uttered at the end, seemingly having no lack of praise for the young blue-haired man in a black-white robe.
"We greet the City Lord~"
The four of them stood up and bowed with cupped hands. The crown prince didn't seem to use his status to ignore this greeting, but it was unknown if it was made in good faith.
City Lord Davis raised his hand to his face and stroked his chin with interest.
"Aren't those two from the same place as you, Saint Riyal Mendez?"
"Oh, yes." Saint Riyal Mendez smiled, not hiding it, "They're from that world of that Anarchic Divergent, the same as me."
"What are they doing here? Shouldn't they be imprisoned according to the mandate of the Divine Sentinel Order?"
"Senior doesn't know?" Pretzen Grayscale blinked.
"How can City Lord Kain know?" Wilxes Ingrimm scoffed at Pretzen Grayscale, "Senior was a man who fought in the frontlines in the battlefields of the Greater Realm against the other galaxies, willing to lay down his life for our human race and safeguard them until his retirement years later. How could he be bothered about the likes of Divergents?"
"It's like this-" Saint Riyal Mendez explained, "When Upper Realm powers kill Divergents, it is possible to gain contribution points and exchange them with Divine Sentinel Order or other Heaven's Warriors Organizations for various resources. At times, we can also redeem sinners who have been caught in the crime of aiding Divergents."
"However, the power that redeems the prisoner cannot have them and must swear an oath to not meddle with their affairs unless provoked. Even if provoked, they cannot be engage in a direct confrontation and must call an Heaven's Warriors to uphold justice. They must be let go of when they are released from prison. Hence, after the Hexadra Clan redeemed them, Girias and Harmon were let go, and they proceeded to join other powers within the realm."
City Lord Davis looked amused, "There's such a thing? Even if that's the case, what's the benefit for the Hexadra Clan to do this? Surely, they can't be the real saints in disguise, right?"
"Hahaha! City Lord Kain is funny."
Saint Riyal Mendez laughed along with a few others.
Girias responded, "They wanted to get us out to get information about the Divine Emperor of Death. Unfortunately for them, we didn't have any information other than chasing his wives to death- heh~~~"
He laughed with air leaking from his mouth like he was emitting a shrill gas.
Harmon harrumphed, "The bastard made my entire clan turn against me. I will never forgive him and after this competition, I'll go find and raze my traitorous clan down."
"…"
City Lord Davis kept the smile on his face forcefully.
The immense urge to rip them apart welled up in him, but he maintained his cool.
However, Davis knew that the reason they were released was that the Hexadra Clan was planning to hunt him down from the very beginning after obtaining Saint Riyal Mendez and Thousand Windblades. These two made a pair of fine baits, but with these two in the fray, the bait was practically attracting him like a moth to the flames.
He doubted if this was fate that brought them all here. It seems like no matter how he moved, fate had already made a pre-emptive chess move on a board that didn't even exist.
It was fascinating as much as it was infuriating.
Nonetheless, he had the urge to give the Hexadra Clan the title of ragebaiters. They seemed to have mastered the art of true ragebaiting, not just with their tongue but also their actions.
He could tell that probably all of their souls were marked. They had no intrinsic use other than being alarms that went off when killed.
If this were the case, then he could tell that the Saint was also likely the same, carrying some kind of unique entrapping formation or treasure that might activate upon his death.
"I see." City Lord Davis calmly said, "So what am I supposed to do with them? Why are they here?"
Saint Riyal Mendez nodded. He took a moment to think about his words before opening his mouth.
"I'm going to make a bold request to share the underground spring with these geniuses so their cultivation bases can increase to the peak of the Empyrean or Autarch Stage."
"…" City Lord Davis raised his brows.
"…" Saint Riyal Mendez's smile quivered, "Also, I'm going to be more audacious and ask for a few pills made from the Celestial Luminescence Fruits that the Hexadra Clan harvested earlier, and will soon be distributed to the City Lords for nurturing the younger generation. It's not for me. It's for these supreme geniuses who will win glory for us. As long as they can get into the top ten in the Zenith Convergence Summit, I swear we will repay City Lord Kain with riches and anything you want, like free virility treatment from me anytime you want."
City Lord Davis went silent.
Girias, Harmon, Pretzen Grayscale, and Wilxes Ingrimm all gulped inaudibly.
The value of Celestial Luminescence Pill made from the Upper Realm's Ethereal Lumina Tree's Celestial Luminescence Fruit was truly high since it has a high chance to increase their law comprehension ability by a greater degree, but the heaven and earth essence spring that they had heard about which purifies their meridians, strengthens their bones and increases their cultivation to the utmost limit, then they would be in time for the competition to gain an advantage over other supreme geniuses of the same level as them!
This was extremely important to them!
"So this is like an investment?" After some time, City Lord Davis finally asked.
"Yes, yes." Saint Riyal Mendez nodded, "Right now, we're poor alchemist and martial supreme geniuses seeking investments, but once we make it big, the profits you enjoy will also be big!"
"What assurance do I have that you won't side with other City Lords and suppress me?"
"Simple. We sign a True Soul Contract!"
"…"
Davis looked intrigued.
He understood that the other City Lords had probably gifted all their essence spring back to the Hexadra Clan to gain favor, leaving only his and a few other cities' in-stock of this essence.
However, what truly intrigued him was the True Soul Contract.
Would the truesoul carry his truesoul or City Lord Kain's truesoul right now?
