Chapter 1284 - Partners (2) (2/2)
Some were still in their beast forms, others were in their human forms. But, they all seemed to be quite confused. It wasn't everyday you saw dao formation experts kneeling.
It wasn't a surprise that Dyon could see resentment aimed toward him among them. Without knowing the whole story, no one would think that their own family heads were in the wrong.
”There's no need for you all to kneel here.” Dyon said emotionlessly. ”The length of time won't change anything, I've already made my stance clear. You can go about your lives, and I'll go about mine.”
Dyon took a step forward, disappearing and appearing to their backs. But, before he could flash forward a second time, a voice called out that made him pause.
”Thank you for saving my life!”
Dyon looked back to find them all still kneeling. Obviously, the one who had spoken out was Head Tudo.
Those celestial beasts watching in the distance were stunned to hear these words.
”You're welcome.” Dyon turned to leave once more but more words seemed eager to stop him.
”We don't kneel here in hopes you'll forgive us, but that you'll take pity on the younger generation. We'll pay for our sins and even die if that's what you see fit, but they shouldn't pay for our mistakes.” Elder Tudo added, her forehead still marred with dark soil.
Before Dyon could respond, three attendants flew forward from the crowds in the distance, each holding a young celestial beast in their arms.
One b.a.r.e c.h.e.s.ted young man held an adorable white tiger cub in his arms that looked more like a kitten than the vicious beast of slaughter he'd grow to be.
Another young man, wearing white scholarly robes and a heavy turtle shell on his back came forward with a young turtle covered in a beautiful black shell, lined with intricate patterns. However, when its small head poked out, its skin and partial scales were entirely white even as its large black eyes blinked with curiosity as it looked toward Dyon.
The last was a young lady. However, unlike her fellow attendants, the young celestial beast with her hung from her back, wrapping its small arms around her neck. The child ape was covered in pristine white fur and peaked over the attendant's should with an adorable, naïve curiosity.
In the end, the three of them stopped before Dyon, presenting these youths to him.
”These three have the densest bloodline of their generation and have the potential to become worthy of titles in the future. Please take them as your partners.” Head Tudo's voice trembled as she begged sincerely.
