Chapter 1180 - Ricci and Nova (3) (1/2)

The former Master trembled in the air. Even Violet couldn't help but look up with a shocked expression on her face.

The Ricci family was once among the four up and coming families, which was why Elder Ricci was able to crippled his soul at his birth and thus avoid detection from The Cathedral.

However, due to the intense competition, while Elder Ricci was away, his family was eaten up by the vicious families in its surroundings.

When he finally came back with his daughter, it was already too late to do anything. That said, even if he could have, it was unlikely that Elder Ricci would have acted.

Why? Because he blamed his family for its stupidity. Had his soul not been crippled, he would have never advanced to sainthood at the mere 11th essence gathering stage.

If he had advanced to the 12th stage first, he would have at least had a chance to become a first-grade celestial instead of a mere 2nd grade one.

Had he been a mighty first grade celestial, saving his wife wouldn't have been a dream. He could have actually done it.

So, Elder Ricci resented his family as much as Donari resented his. Except, unlike Donari who now had a chance to reach the 12th essence gathering stage, Elder Ricci's opportunity was gone.

But, now, someone had relit that hope. He no longer cared about becoming a legendary first grade celestial, as long as his wife could be saved, he was willing to die right here if need be.

His emotions swirled out of control, causing everyone below to be shocked as they watched a once mighty celestial who could sweep through their universe uncontested breakdown to the point of tears.

He didn't for a moment believe that Dyon couldn't accomplish what he said he would. Although Dyon's strength was nowhere near enough to fight against that clan alone, with his soul strength, infiltrating and saving just one person should be easy. In fact, that clan might happily hand his wife over as long as Dyon exposed his identity just so that they wouldn't become the enemy of a True God.

”You?” Although the former master tried to control his emotions, the tears wouldn't stop.

Unlike others, he was perfectly aware of the ways of the martial world. Dyon had plenty of ways to force him to submit that didn't require him going on this dangerous mission. One of which included simply imprisoning Violet.

If Dyon decided to do that, how could this weakened former master stop him? He would have no choice but to listen to Dyon for the sake of his daughter's life.

Yet, Dyon directly went for the choice that would make him loyal willingly. It made his personality as a leader clear for all to see.
