Chapter 1204 - Four Celestial Families (3) (1/2)

The Simia family leader shrugged at the Tigris family head's answer. ”It wasn't mine nor that old bat's intention to ever partner with humans. It was your Tigris and Arie families that decided to establish a sect and degrade yourselves to the level of becoming guardian beasts.

”While we celestial beasts duck and hide in the Mystical World, the infernal beasts stalk around with their c.h.e.s.ts puffs out. I know you all sensed that auras of those children, yet none of your brought it up. It's no wonder a human boy dares to call you cowards.”

The infernal beasts were always the natural antithesis of celestial beasts. When the universe creates a yin, it must also create a yang. This was especially true for beasts who became embodiments of important laws in the universe.

The children the Simia family leader referred to were three youngsters within the devil cultivators. Remember, the five clans sent by the devil clans included the Dark Elf Clan, the Fulgur clan, the Eclipse sect, Nightmare Palace, and finally, the Infernal Beast clan.

Of course, the three children sent by the Infernal Beast clan didn't make much of an impact because they were much too young. And, since they were children, despite being their enemy, Dyon's master ignored them.

Clearly, the existence of these children didn't escape the attention of these esteemed elders.

”My Tigris family has never acted as a guardian beast for anyone. It's best you watch your mouth lest I rip your tongue out, monkey.” The Tigris family head growled.

”Yes, yes.” Head Simia waved his hand, clearly uncaring about Head Tigris' threats. ”You've never become a guardian beast, but you're perfectly content to hide in this cage. What a mighty man you are.”

”Are you forgetting that you're here as well?” Head Arie suddenly spoke in her sweet, pleasant voice.

”Do you know why my Celestial Ape clan ignored your clans even when the Celestial Deer Sect was established?”

”Does it matter?” Head Arie responded calmly. ”No one in the outside world knew where your clans were located either, which means that even if you weren't hiding here, you were hiding elsewhere. My Celestial Deer clan took a courageous step forward, guardian beast or not.”

Head Simia finally lost his mischievous aura as he sneered. ”Hiding? We were fighting a war while your endeavors were being wasted away by enemies your human masters provoked. While we were working for the celestial beast cause, you were fighting and losing for humans. You dare to say that we were hiding?”

”You can spin it however you'd like. But, we're both aware that you weren't doing much fighting or else you wouldn't be here.” Head Arie replied just as sweetly. ”And, in case you're still not aware after so many millennia, that so-called ”enemy” our ”masters” provoked will lead to end of all of our lives. Do not pretend to be ignorant simply for the sake of winning a war of words.”

The Arie family head was very clear on the enemy they faced, as were the rest of the celestial beasts. If the entity succeeded, life as they knew it would cease to be.

The reason the Celestial Deer Sect was destroyed by the entity wasn't simply because they occupied the universe he wanted to make use of. It was also because their ideology and mastery of array alchemy posed a major threat to his plans and the chaos path.

As for the enemy of the celestial beasts, as far as Head Arie was concerned, they were far less of a threat than the entity. So, how could she not be angry about Head Simia downplaying the former, but raising up the latter?

”Can you even consider yourself a celestial beast?” Head Simia sneered.
