965 Semis 2 (1/2)
”He did use a technique.” Lilith silently mumbled to herself. ”But what technique could amplify the body to such heights with such little backlash?...”
Although Lilith didn't mean for others to hear, Asyna still did. ”Technique? You mean how his skin reddened? If my eyes weren't tricking me, his veins also with gold for a brief moment too…”
RolRol blinked her large eyes adorably, but her cultivation was too low to have seen through those things. Dyon was almost a blur to her.
”His power multiplied by at least three to four times.” Lilith's frown deepened. Did it really turn out that they would have to get rid of him? But his power still wasn't enough to handle the 98th quadrant experts alone, let alone it being necessary for them to step forward themselves.
But, even if she thought this, the reality was that if Lilith had to fight the top most experts of the 98th quadrant, she was still lacking as well. Of course, that was because she was only 18 years old, but the fact remained true.
So, no. Lilith wasn't speaking in terms of her stepping forward personally, but rather if it would be necessary to call down experts from their clans or not…
”Asyna.” Lilith communicated via a line of energy. ”When you fight him, go all out. Don't hold anything back.”
”But…” Asyna wanted to protest. They were in hiding for a reason. Until they entered the tower inner world, it wouldn't be safe for them to use all of their abilities.
In the martial world, their path of cultivation wasn't looked down upon for moral reasons. No one was so bored or righteous so as to go out of their way to punish them. The reality of the matter was that their path of cultivation only seemed 'evil' to a layman. There was no need for them to delve into truly evil practices like using cultivation cauldron, refining living beings into puppets, or killing the innocent for power.
So, the reason they would be hated here wasn't because of morality. Rather, it was because of their power and their secrets.
The quadrants in which RolRol, Asyna and Lilith came from had many secrets long since lost to the main stream cultivation world, many secrets which even Dyon would drool over. However, they had their own reasons for remaining separate, and now wasn't the right time for that to change.
All in all, them being ousted as devil path cultivators outside of the tower was a massive taboo to their clansmen's futures. Was it really worth risking the good of their entire quadrant for to probe one young man barely older than them?
”I'll handle it. Besides you and him, no one else will be able to surmise the techniques you're using. In fact, there's no guarantee that he would even recognize them.” Lilith responded calmly.
