Book 10: Chapter 100: Told You (1)
“My Earthen Sprites will not stand for this!”
A man who would have looked mighty familiar to Dyon roared, causing an unknown independent space to quake under his surging qi.
For powers on the level of the Sprite Alliance, there were numerous modifications made to their territory. For example, even their lesser planets could withstand a battle between celestials, while a place like this that housed their capital, could handle a decent battle between dao experts and maintain its form. An impressive feat considering Dyon’s home planet could barely withstand a battle between saints.
This independent space was another such modification. It wasn’t exactly a Mystical World, but it was a hidden pocket dimension that could be quickly and easily accessed by all those with high enough status.
If one had to point toward the most secure location in all of their territory, this would be the place. In fact, even Dyon wasn’t listening in on their conversation.
Since Dyon was only a First Grade World Seer, he only had the ability to see through one universe at a time. However, this pocket space had barriers around it that rivaled the barrier between universes. As a result, Dyon would need to progress his Immortal Sense to the next stage in order to peer into their secret meeting.
In this regard, this pocket space was even beyond Mystical Worlds which Dyon could peer through the layers of with ease.
That said… Did Dyon really have a need to do any of this? After all, since this was such an important space of the Sprite Alliance, how could Luna not have access to it? Anything of importance would reach Dyon’s ears one way or another.
“Calm your anger! Do you know how much of a laughingstock we would be if you had to step out personally to seek revenge? Had you found him before he made all of this noise and killed him silently, there wouldn’t have been a problem. But now he’s slapped the faces of our entire Alliance! This can’t be resolved with a flick of the hand any longer.”
This man was none other than the very owner of the projection Amphorae shattered a few weeks back. It was no wonder his anger was fuming.
Not only had a genius of his clan been slaughtered right before him, but he also lost 3 meridians worth of cultivation in an instant. Had it not been for the fact the Sprite Alliance’s resources far outmatched the Diasho Clan’s, he would have suffered the same drop in cultivation Diasho Ken’s uncle had to Jade before Dyon purposely restored him.
3 meridians might seem like a minor number, but to a dao expert, especially one in the Peak Dao Realm, this was a crippling amount worth tens of thousands of years of effort. The fact that his eyes were reddened with rage that could put any beast to shame wasn’t a surprise to anyone here.
Seeing the Earthen Sprite elder being forced silent, the other sprites continued. Of course, for such a minor event, none of the five Higher Existences would bother to appear. So, this Earthen Sprite could actually be considered one of the topmost powerhouses here. It was just unfortunate for him that there were five
“We can only leave this situation to young pups with Undefeatable Spirits.”
“And if they also fail?”
The atmosphere turned heavy. This was obviously a possibility none of them wanted to think about.
“In that case… we can only rely on that child.”
Bitter smiles swept through the gathering of elders.
“No matter how disgruntled that Unblemished Empress is, the face of our Sprite Alliance still directly affects her.” A stubborn old sprite muttered.
“Disgruntled?! You fools tried to kidnap her daughter! The fact she didn’t declare all out war or sever herself from the Alliance is something you should all be grateful for! Now you want to ask that very same daughter you tried to turn into a pawn to save your behinds?! What thick faces you have.”
It was no surprise that the elder who spoke was of Luna’s Heavenly Sprites, but no one called out the obvious bias behind their words because they were correct nonetheless.
Obviously, whatever meeting took place all those years ago to decide to take action against Luna hadn’t included the Heavenly Sprites.
“Your Unblemished Empress is stifling our progress! The Timeless Library could be our key to surpassing the Sapientia and even the Nephilim!”
“Are you trying to convince me? Or yourself?” Another Heavenly Sprite sneered. “How many stories of successful journeys to the Timeless Library have you heard about? And, even if there were many, there’s less than a hundred years to the descent of the Ancient Battlefield.
“You know well about the random time displacement of that godforsaken library. How can you guarantee anyone we send in would come out in an appropriate enough period to be useful?”
“It’s different this time!” A Spiritual Sprite rebutted. “You think we’re fools? Do you think the ability of Higher Existence Oracle is just for show?”
“I’m sure Higher Existence Oracle helped draft the plan to encroach upon our agreements, stab the backs of your allies, and attempt to kidnap an innocent child as well, but how did that work out for you?!”
The atmosphere grew more tense, but the Heavenly Sprites only sneered.
“I’ll let you pitiful fools in on another secret. The reason why your foolish plan failed in the first place is because that young man you all think you can kill with the flick of a hand was there to protect Heiress Alauna while you all had lured the Unblemished One away.
“If you think you’re going to convince that willful lass to battle her own savior, you’re more foolish than even I thought!”
