Book 9: Chapter 12: Two Beauties (3)
Dyon stood above Low Sapientia City, his calm eyes looking on with an indifferent expression.
Even after all the mud slung onto their reputation, the Sapientia’s roots were too deep. If they were shaken by only one rumor and a few eyewitnesses, their power would be nothing more than a joke.
In addition, as ironic as it may seem, the Mortal Network gave the Sapientia a beautiful platform to defend themselves. Because Dyon took his mortal world’s internet as a template, the Mortal Network was a free space that didn’t shadow ban anyone, including the Sapientia.
However, Dyon didn’t care about winning public perception and support. That much would already naturally happen by the end of these matters. All he cared about was venting some frustration. If the Sapientia believed that they could just continue their life of leisure here, they were sorely mistaken.
In truth, the Sapientia city was already far more barren than it would be usually. With Dyon cornering all of the markets they previously controlled, there were less and less reasons to visit their cities. In fact, with the creation of the Mortal Library, the Sapientia were no longer the center of knowledge either.
Knowing all of this, it could be said that Dyon was beating an already dead horse. But, he had his own purpose. Namely…
Just as Dyon was thinking to this point, powerful auras surged from all sides.
Dyon smirked. ‘Couldn’t even wait a full second, could you?’
Three Lower Dao experts came surging in from three different directions. There was no surprise. Each of them wore crystal framed glasses of various colors and had piercing golden eyes and dark brunette hair. They were, without a doubt, members of the Sapientia Clan.
They were led by a woman dressed in a tight traditional Chinese cheongsam. If was patterned with golden flowers accented by a fiery red.
Behind her, a man and a woman followed.
Dyon could clearly see the flickers of condescension and faint rage hidden behind their golden pupils, but he continued to stand in the air.
“I must be really important to you all. To think that you’d respond so quickly after my being gone for two years.”
The leading woman frowned. Dyon shouldn’t be calm. It didn’t make sense for any celestial to remain calm in the face of a dao expert. Something wasn’t adding up.
“Do you believe your Sacharro Clan is invincible just because it has one Higher Existence?” The only other female Sapientia sneered at Dyon’s words. “Retract your slander against our Sapientia Clan and maybe we can allow you to leave here today.”
Dyon smiled. “And if I don’t? What will you do? Will you kill me?”
“To defend the honor of our Sapientia Clan, we will do what’s necessary. Nothing is more important to a Clan than their faith.” The man spoke, his cold, almost lazy eyes boring holes into Dyon’s body. He seemed intent on stopping the second female from saying anything she didn’t have to. Maybe the Sapientia were still eager to protect their image for whatever reason. There didn’t seem to be a reason why such a powerful Clan would need the tower quadrants… Maybe there was a hidden something Dyon was unaware of. He would have to look through Jade’s information once more.
“Hmm.” Dyon looked off into the distance. “By now, not only Sapientia Corner, but every Sapientia stronghold on the saint floors has been destroyed.”
The three dao experts froze.
“You see, I’ve been busy for the past two years and couldn’t bother to deal with the infestation that was your Clan, but… I have quite a few bones to pick.”
Dyon stepped forward. His proximity to the leading female dao expert was closed to less than a meter, causing those watching below to hold their breaths.
Even for a celestial, a meter distance couldn’t even be discussed in terms of seconds, it could only be communicated in terms of fractions of a second. For a dao expert, this reality was far more exaggerated. Even at a 100-meter distance, a dao expert could slaughter a celestial in the blink of an eye, let alone at a distance of less than a meter.
But, when they looked at the faces of the three dao experts, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
The three of them seemed to struggling against something. Their faces were red, and green veins bulged from their foreheads. Sweat even began to mat the body the body of the leading female dao expert who took the brunt of Dyon’s rage.
“Two years ago, the Sapientia didn’t just attack one of my wives, they actually had the audacity to attack three of them. My Madeleine, my Ri, my Clara… Imagine my rage when I exited my training to learn of such a thing. Tsk…”
Dyon’s eyes swept over the dao experts. “Oh? Do you feel that?”
Dyon’s Presence raised another notch before disappearing. “Sorry, my anger got the best of me. I really didn’t expect that the mighty Sapientia would send out their dao experts without protection.”
The release was so sudden that the three dao experts stumbled in the air, their faces reddening with embarrassment. However, the three of them realized that this young man couldn’t be allowed to live any longer. Dyon’s speed of progress was too fast.
As though having planned beforehand, the moment they believed Dyon’s arrogance had got the best of him, three attacks suddenly surged forward. How could they know that even as dao experts… Their movements were incredibly slow to Dyon…?
A massive golden dragon scale appeared in the air. Dyon’s body expanded by one size in an instant before concentrating back down, his bulging muscles coursing with refined mercury as his body heated the air.
A fiery steam left his lips. ‘[Titan Emperor’s Will. First Act. Second Stage].’
Dyon’s strength skyrocketed by 40 times. The moment their three attacks landed on the dragon scale, they realized that their supposedly easy mission had become a nightmare.
