Chapter 798: Strong Commands Respect.
Allure raised her brow and wanted to reprimand Shi Lang when a few strong presences appeared beside them. The Terran sighed and gazed at Allure. He could tell from her facial expression that she was caught off guard. She has spent a long time behind the barrier, everything beside her looks and the fighting strength had regressed. She did not understood much of the power dynamics probably.
A loud voice echoed in the surroundings, "Who dares to shed the blood of my Qilin Clan, show yourself!"
The people in the surroundings smiled and descended to the ground, leaving behind only Mertyl, Allure and Shi Lang in the void. The next moment, people appeared around the three of them. Five versus three and that too when Shi Lang was probably just a lamb for slaughter.
Right now he just used his Dao Laws of Intention. It could not be used over and over again. It did not work like that. Just when he was thinking what to do, an Old Man asked, "Human, why have you come to the Titan Mountains? Is your kind looking for a war?"
Shi Lang sobered up and replied, "I feel from the spiritual vessel a few days ago. Then I helped Senior Allure and she bestowed me with the mark of a familiar, senior."
The old man made a grabbing gesture and Shi Lang sensed his neck being strangled. However, his face did not change. He narrowed his gaze at the old man, and said, "So, are you Qilins just a bunch of pussies who would come and bully the young in the name of revenge? Hypocritic assholes."
His words shocked the people they did not expect him to stare death in the eye and yet not budge at all. The old man yelled, "Insolent fool! How dare you?! How dare you mock my clan?!"
Shi Lang sensed a strong pressure around his throat and heard Allure\'s voice, "He mocks you because that person of your clan died in fair battle. Ask everyone present here, your clanmate died without even getting a chance to defend himself."
The old man grit his teeth and Allure continued, "Unhand him."
Her voice was calm but it was commanding. The Qilin elder did not want to give up so easily and while exerting pressure against Shi Lang\'s neck he asked, "What if I don\'t?"
The Terran\'s face was turning blue from red, however, his eyes were not wavering. This was his belief in his path of invincibility. If he did not win, he would die, but he would not bow. Allure shook her head and said, "You just had to provoke me, did you not."
Then she raised her hand and made the similar grabbing gesture. The old man opened his eyes wide. This woman was strong, she used the exact same method against him. However, he did not want to divert his attention from Shi Lang.
He turned his gaze to look at his friends, but found that they were also struggling against a grip on their throats. Pale face, and eyes wide open. That was the situation of every Qilin clan elder present on the spot.
Allure said, "Last warning, you have three seconds to decide."
Her words sent the man who held Shi Lang in a dilemma, he was contemplating the pros and cons, when suddenly Allure exerted pressure causing his head to explode like a watermelon. The man did not know why he died till the end. Shi Lang\'s neck loosened and he gasped for air.
Allure looked at the other four people and said, "He came and died in a fair battle, do you all have any complaint?"
The four people immediately shook their heads and Allure said, "Begone! Your arrogance will bring the death of your clan."
They bowed to her, collected the headless corpse and ran away. Shi Lang caught up his breath and Allure said, "Come, now we should get going. It is about time."
She turned to look at Mertyl and said, "I will take the kid away. It was nice meeting you Mertyl."
The latter nodded and even hugged Allure with tears trailing down her cheeks. Then Allure waved her hand and vanished from the place. Mertyl wiped her tears gracefully and said, "I hope you come back soon."
In her mind, she was thinking of ways to grow closer to her friend and use her strength to her purposes. She knew that after this incident, Shi Lang and Allure were going to be famous, and given that she was able to handle five superior Legendary beasts and killed one of them as if it was nothing major.
One has to know that superior Legendary beasts were equivalent to Immortal Sovereigns in humanity. Two of them and one at the hands of an Immortal Emperor, a human. This was going to put shame to their name, and the legendary beasts would come after Shi Lang, however, with Allure watching his back, it was not going to be easy.
Thinking about this, Mertyl vanished from her spot. She was going back to her clan and make them all get ready to welcome Allure whenever she may come.
…
Shi Lang and Allure appeared outside the ruin. The Terran took a deep breath and asked, "Senior, you could have defeated that guy without killing him, why did you kill him?"
Allure smiled and said, "Young one, what you do not understand is that this world of Legendary Beasts work on strength. Only those who have strength can gather respect from the people."
Shi Lang thought for a bit, and then said, "I understand what you mean, but will this situation not encourage them to come after us?"
Allure shook her head and said, "It will not, you should head in to the ruin. I will handle everything."
The Terran understood that he was over thinking about it. He nodded looked at the barrier before him. Inside the barrier there were many spirit beasts that were already gazing at Shi Lang, if not for Allure standing beside him they would have torn him into shreds.
Shi Lang circulated his cultivation sutra to calm his mind, and then he stepped forward. As soon as he entered the barrier the spirit beasts growled and Shi Lang took out the jade soul bead. The spirit beasts were stunned and Shi Lang said, "I have come here to pay respect to Senior."
The spirit beasts roared and growled. It was obvious that they were able to understand his words. They were Beast Emperors. Shi Lang could not understand how this colony functioned. The beast at the front moved to the side and the others followed his lead. Shi Lang saw a clear path leading to a cave.
He took a deep breath and walked through the crowd of Beast Emperors. All these beasts were watching him silently. Shi Lang was sure that if he made a single mistake, they will not hesitate into attacking him.
After a few minutes, Shi Lang reached the entrance of the cave and the soul bead began to glow. He bowed his head and raised the bead in his hand. He said, "Forgive me for disturbing your rest, senior."
A wizened voice echoed out from the cave, "At last, someone carrying the scent of home. Raise your head, young man."
Shi Lang raised his head and said, "Greetings, Senior."
"Come inside, these guys tend to make people a bit too nervous."
Shi Lang smiled and nodded as he moved inside the cave. After going inside he let out a sigh of relief and he said, "Senior, how did you manage to keep them tamed?"
A spirit phantom manifested before him and smiled, "I only used to provide them with medicines when I spotted them. It turns out their clan has a blood line limitation. When I reached the end of my life, I cast a spirit barrier here, and they stayed beside me. They use their spiritual energy to provide energy to this barrier."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I see, they also strengthen your spirit presence."
The spirit phantom nodded and asked, "Did you come here from the Medicine God Valley?"
Shi Lang realized that it was time for business. He took a deep breath and said, "I come from the Heavenly Dragon Army. The Sect Mistress of the Medicine God Valley, Sovereign Healing Hands asked me to come here."
The spirit phantom frowned and asked, "What is going on here?"
Shi Lang replied and narrated the entire incident to the spirit phantom. The spirit phantom took a deep breath and said, "You realize what you are asking me to do?"
