Book 7: Chapter 245: Vaults (2)
Ri’s blue-silver hair had gone from its original color, to a blinding shade of white, only to fall into absolute darkness. Her emotions were clearly worn on her sleeve. Despite the words of this Ancestral Kun Peng, the agony of the six elders didn’t fade. However, neither did she attack the newcomer. Her meaning was clear.
This old bastard was clearly aware of this situation the entire time, yet he didn’t care to step out until he confirmed that Ri still maintained control over their Curse. It wasn’t that he wanted to come, it was that he had no choice to under Ri’s pressure. Under such a situation, how could Ri care for this ancestor’s words?
“The Rainbow Kun Peng Clan,” Ri said through a sneer, “You’ve spent the last several thousand year maintaining a façade of absolute power those of the Water Mist Sect are simply too scared to shatter. Yet, you keep these lofty airs of yours. Did you think that just because you’re called the Dragons of the Water that you were truly Dragons?
“One race holds their head high, ruling over five quadrants, while the other can only bury their heads in the sand and play petty tricks to keep control over a mere 20 universes. You tell me, how can you compare?!”
The faces of the surrounding Kun Peng sunk. Ri wasn’t wrong, but saying it so blatantly like this…
Over the recent years, they could only rely on the magic formations their predecessors left behind to put up a fake front. But, they knew very well that had it not been for the fear the Water Mist Sect upper echelon had for them, their façade would have already been broken. A single true dao expert could already sweep through them all without much effort.
“Young Lady, your words are too harsh.” The Ancestor Kun Peng spoke with a grave tone.
“My Title is that of Elvin Queen. Call me young lady or anything related again, and I’ll teach you a lesson you’ll never forget.”
Eerie shadows began to creep into Ri’s beautiful domain, casting it over with a solemn darkness that made one’s heart shake.
The old Kun Peng felt stifled. He had thought that this situation would be easy to handle the moment he sensed the Elvin aura on Ri. How hard could it be to deal with a youth? She hadn’t even lived 50 years, yet they had lived thousands. But, the reality slapped their faces far too fiercely.
“Before, I had been willing to negotiate with your Clan. In payment for protecting my Elvin Kingdom’s treasures for so many million years, there would of course be an appropriate reward. But, who would have guessed that not only did your ancestors break our ancient pact, you yourselves would resist me taking the things that belong to me in the first place!”
Clara, who was still standing to the side, found this situation quite funny. The threat had been perfectly neutralized, and Clara could even tell that these old fogies were looking for a way out. All Ri had to say was that she was willing to take them as subordinates and they’d bend over hand and foot. Who knew that she would be even more domineering than Dyon?
“Hmph,” Ri, who had felt stifled for years now, finally vented her frustrations, not giving them a way out at all.
Clara coughed. “How about you just bring us to the vaults. We can decide other matters later.”
The old Kun Peng’s wanted to use Clara to vent their anger after hearing her speak. Who was she to intervene under these conditions? But, sensing the sharp gaze of Ri, it was clear that whoever could be by the Elvin Queen’s side was no normal individual. They could only swallow their words.
Soon, seven sorry figures escorted two “little girls” to an underwater city that was quite an extraordinary sight. The problem was that it was designed for humans, so much of the city was left deserted. They could only build a crude replica some ways away.
“The vaults are below, Your Majesty. We cannot enter due to our size, I hope that you understand.”
Ri ignored them, taking Clara’s hand and drifting below to enter a grand crystal palace.
“Ancestor, are we really doing this?” The Head of the Kun Peng Clan spoke with some dissatisfaction. He had actually fallen to the mere 1st celestial realm.
Before he could react, a silver fin slapped the back of his scaled head, sending him tumbling through the water.
“Fool! You call me ancestor despite me being a mere pseudo dao expert, aren’t you embarrassed? Is this the limit of our Kun Peng Race?
“The beast taming ability of the Elvin Race is unparalleled. They were among the most powerful races to ever exist specifically because they could use their strengths to become masters of things they had no business delving into.
“Are the elves truly sovereigns? Of course not! They gained their air of sovereignty after subduing the Dragons!
“Are the elves truly one with nature, gaining extended lives, and being loved by energy? Of course not! They gained Heaven’s Blessing by subduing the Fairies!
“Why is it that the elves are born with such powerful bodies, making even the weakest of them talents equivalent to Earth Grade constitution wielders? It’s because they subdued Clans like the Mino Clan!
“Why are they also somehow Masters of Magic and Curses? It’s because they subdued us, the Rainbow Kun Pengs!
“Our ancestors have done us a great disservice by daring to go against this Elvin Queen. The only reason I didn’t immediately kneel is because I knew that we would not be treated well under her faction because of them.
“No matter who it is, as long as they were once under the purview of the Elvin Kingdom, they will immediately submit to her. Say something stupid again and I’ll slap you to death personally!”
