Chapter 1106 - Finger (3) (1/2)

Dyon sighed and steeled himself.

Given the current situation, he was in a tight bind for time. Two weeks from now, the sect would open up the Mystical World for the sake of its disciple trials. But, Dyon had a feeling that Soul Market would make its last sales and shut down even before that. Reason being that the Devil Cultivators likely wanted to partake in the treasures of the Mystical World as well.

Simply put, time was running out. If Dyon allowed the Devil Cultivators to enter without him there, the Celestial Beast Clan would be in danger of being discovered. But, if he didn't deal with Soul Market, millions, potentially billions, of lives would be hung in the balance.

At that moment, Dyon suddenly thought of something else: Arthurian. Instances of names being placed on the Pillar of Shame were massive events that involved the ringing of the sect's central bell.

For context, said bell was so loud that an entire planet would hear its call and chime. It was more likely than not that it happened while Dyon was asleep. However, the reason the bell reached so far wasn't because it was physically that loud, but rather, it sent out pulses that reverberated in the soul. For Dyon to sleep through that… Just what happened while he was out of it?

Just as Dyon was about to ask Donari about it, by pure sheer coincidence, a loud chime began to sound in all of their minds.

A deep noise reminiscent of an ancient church bell shook Planet Cathedral, causing its population of billions to look up into the skies involuntarily.

Before Dyon could even properly react, a roar filled with rage shook erupted from the center of Soul Rending Peak.

The skies above blasted apart, concentric circles of sound waves dispersing the clouds themselves and entering the high atmosphere.

'A celestial?' Dyon raised an eyebrow, but then he understood. The only celestials of the sect should be their core elders and masters. Core elders were those who had barely broken through and couldn't be more than 5th grade celestials, while the master was more likely a 5th or 4th grade celestial.

Either way, because they were celestials and not suppressed like Dyon was, he still had to take them seriously.

That aside, a celestial roaring in anger just after the central bell was rung? It didn't take much brain power for Dyon to understand that it was likely Violet's father reacting after finding out what happened in the valley. It was just odd that it took two weeks for Violet to tell her father. Maybe she was just working up the courage to tell her story, which was perfectly reasonable.

Donari visibly paled when he heard the roar. After all, the Master's residence wasn't very far from Evangeline's and he was still an essence gatherer.

However, Dyon was impressed that he recollected himself before he could help him.
