Book 7: Chapter 332: Hate (1)
After visiting Zabia, Dyon left. It would take a bit of time for him to become accustomed to his new weapon, so Zabia decided to accept his tribulation in the following week. If he and Ipsum disciples managed to breakthrough before the meeting Dyon had planned, the level of pressure Dyon could apply would be far higher.
Due to the fact the celestial beasts were still a hidden secret, Dyon decided not to use them for this coming meeting. Although Amphorae was planning to expose the connection between Dyon and the celestial beasts, that wouldn’t happen for another few years. By that time, Dyon would have just enough breathing room to not only complete the cloaking of the Dark Ocean, but to also finish enveloping this Soul Rend Universe in a barrier as well.
Luckily, Soul Universe and Dyon’s home universe were directly adjacent to each other. This was how the Jafari Clan ended up coming to them after being forced from their homes during their war with the Caedes Clan and The Cathedral. So, Dyon could cloak both universes simultaneously.
Once that was complete, even if those monstrous Clans and Sects came to investigate, they would be out of luck.
That said, there was one issue Dyon thought of with this approach. If it became public knowledge that Celestial Universe was cloaked using the treasure known to be held by the Elves, Jasmine might be able to connect Dyon’s identities to each other. However, that was a massive if. After all, the level of expert those Clans would likely send to investigate should be far higher in stature than Jasmine. Since that was the case, how could Jasmine be privy to their information?
Once Dyon left Zabia, he went to visit the twins once more.
“Big brother, have you made any progress in finding Big Brother Eli?” Bella’s voice sounded incredibly hoarse. It no longer carried the same light and airy fluffiness Dyon was used to.
By now, both Bella and Mia had lost their ability to see. In truth, they had become blind years ago, but because they didn’t want others to worry about them, they hid this fact. It wasn’t until Kaeda was doing a routine check up two years ago that she noticed an oddity. These sorts of matters could force even the most cold-hearted individual to sigh.
Dyon knew that for Mia, this was especially heartbreaking. The poor girl had only just begun to gain a small grasp of her new painting dao when the world was suddenly taken from her. Now, she couldn’t even lift a finger to paint.
What broke Dyon’s heart was that Mia actually apologized to him for this. She felt bad that Dyon had spent so many energy stones buying her materials, only for her to waste them. These two girls were too pure hearted.
Dyon smiled lightly, gently holding Bella’s bandaged hand. It was so frail that he was worried just this act would be enough to hurt her.
“You don’t need to worry about that, Eli and I were ready for this a long time ago. In just a few years, I’ll completely grasp my abilities as a Planet Lord and I’ll be able to put our plan into action. Until then, I don’t believe that they’ll harm Eli. The only unfortunate thing is that Aiden won’t be able to meet his father for a while.”
Hearing these words, Bella choked up. It was difficult for her to speak in this situation, but it was even more painful for her to circulate her essence. Their meridians had shriveled up long before their vocal cords had. Maybe one day, they wouldn’t be able to speak anymore either. They’d have to pass away in silence without anyone being able to hear their pleas for help.
Seeing Bella like this, Mia wanted to comfort her younger sister, but she couldn’t. She suddenly felt a deep frustration, one that she had tried to push down for so long.
“Leave it to me.” Dyon said softly. “I’ll make those bastards pay.”
Dyon did his best to soothe the twins. He began telling them stories about the former soul slaves, it seemed they loved these sorts of stories the most.
“Diore has been improving rapidly. Although his energy cultivation is a bit lacking, his soul is already at the peak of the saint realm. In fact, he’s just about to break through the practitioner realm and become a master, yet he’s only been studying for five years.
“Masada’s even better, she’s actually already a 3rd stage Master and her soul is also of the peak saint realm.”
Dyon began listing off the achievements of the former soul slaves. Hearing how they helped their lives tremendously, Mia and Bella felt gratified.
Eventually, their conversation shifted to the time they took down the cathedral together.
“Speaking of which, back then, how did you two know it was me?” Dyon suddenly remembered that the twins recognized him immediately despite the fact the first time he met them, he wore his Lightning Willow Mask.
Although he never asked, this was a question nagging at his mind. The Lightning Willow Mask was something even dao experts couldn’t see through. Yet, the two sisters recognized him even when his mask was off. It was too weird.
Mia and Bella didn’t know how to respond. They just knew.
“You just have a familiar smell on you.” Mia finally said.
“A familiar smell? Do you recognize everyone by smell?” Dyon asked curiously.
But, he was surprised to see that the answer was no.
“No, only you have that smell. We haven’t met anyone else with it. Now that you bring it up, it is pretty weird.” Bella said absentmindedly.
