Chapter 1461 - Hidden Events (2) (2/2)

Still, even in the presence of all of these earth-shattering experts, there was a man of quiet disposition who didn't need to open his eyes to stifle them all. With Dyon's senses, he would have realized almost immediately that it was impossible for this man to be a dao formation expert. He was a half-step transcendent without a doubt!

This man at full height would have been just over two meters tall, matching Dyon neck-in-neck. His head of white hair flowed even longer than Lilith's, shining with an unimaginably strong power. His shoulders were broad and his features were handsome beyond compare… If there was a man who could compete with Dyon in looks, it would be him.

One might think that it was only natural considering he was a half-step transcendent, but Dyon, having experienced this once before, could tell the truth. This man was suppressing his true appearance!

It was this man who was responsible for the survival of the Devil Path Cultivators until now. Had it not been for him, the fake moral high horses the conventional path cultivators rode upon would have long since trampled them all to death.

This man was Lilith's father, Emperor of Nightmare Palace, Eldaernth Nightmare!

”We've lost contact with the children for more than three years now, this is no longer a matter that we can ignore.” The first to speak was Sokzac's grandfather, Patriarch Fulgur.

”What do you expect us to do? If they're dead, then they're dead. There's no need for this meeting.” This booming voice was none other than the Beast Emperor, Aestus. With the traditions of the Infernal Beast Clans, the mortality rate of their children was very high. They couldn't care less whether or not those they sent off came back.

Three leaders sent piercing gazes toward Aestus, but he only snorted. As though he would take a step back. This was the way of the martial world. The strong lived while the weak died.

”If you want someone to blame, then blame their uselessness. If they can't handle a mere 98th ranked among those baby quadrants, then they would have never been of much use to us anyway.”

”Why are you wasting time speaking such nonsense? Their soul jades are intact, so it's obvious they're not dead.” Patriarch Fulgur retorted.

Aestus snorted once more. ”The use of soul jades only acts as a crutch. We don't bind our children to them.”

The three leaders shook their heads at Aestus' comments. Did he think they couldn't see his sigh of relief? It was true that Infernal Beasts didn't use soul jades, but that was just a tough front they put up. Clearly this massive lug of a man cared, after all, he had sent two of his own children.

Master Eclipse sighed. ”The question for this meeting is whether or not we should send someone to retrieve them.”
