975 Ancient Family Conspiracy 1 (1/2)

Just as the crowd was anticipating the final spar, the sound of the core disciples arguing suddenly caught their attention. Before, there were battles going on so it hadn't been too obvious, but with everyone now patiently waiting, the only true action seemed to be happening on the Soul Rending Peak viewing platform.

Realizing that they were becoming the center of attention, the core disciples had no choice but to swallow their arguments. Losing face for their Soul Rending Peak was a massive taboo they didn't want to weigh on their shoulders, even if they were core disciples. However, they were almost set off by Dyon's calm smile. Was he really not worried about fighting one of them?

Core disciples of Soul Rending Peak were without a doubt the leaders of the coming generation. Their prestige in the entire 98th quadrant was nearly second to none. How could they allow a 29-year-old kid to sully their reputation like this? But, the problem of deciding who would fight was still a massive one they couldn't make.

Turning to the Vice Master, they left their place behind her to respectful bow before her. ”Please, esteemed Vice Master. We cannot choose between ourselves, we believe it would be best if you made the decision.”

When Evangeline heard this, she didn't have any particular reaction. She didn't care which of them fought Dyon, the result would be the same. Becoming a core disciple was not a joke. However, before she could randomly choose, a melodic voice interrupted her.

”Vice Master, how about you allow this lowly one to make the decision?”

At this moment, all eyes trained on the white-haired beauty who had an aura about her that was beyond words. She was the only woman they had ever seen that could sit beside their goddess and not seem completely outmatched. And what was more, she was so young!

However, everyone was also confused. Although they didn't dare to ask, it had been almost three days now since the assessments began, yet these beauties sat in seats of honor without anyone knowing who they were. They even sat in front of the core disciples, did this mean that their status was even higher than theirs? If so, who were they?

Hearing Lilith's words, Evangeline was a bit surprised and even got a bad premonition. But, declining such a simple request would seem far too petty of her. It was no wonder why Lilith waited until this moment to bring it up.

Seeing Evangeline's approval, Lilith turned to the crowd. ”Many of you don't know who I am. Considering our destinies will be inevitably tied for the foreseeable future, I believe it's time I introduce myself.

”My name is Lilith Nightmare. About a month or so ago, I defeated senior brother Kernick Caedes to become our quadrant's new Key Wielder.”
