233 Bloodline Suppression (1/2)

Some underlings under the orders of Lar's grandfather appeared and tied up the three traitors. The ropes they used were specially designed to tie practitioners and were impossible to break for anyone under the Elder Rank.

There wasn't any resistance for part of the traitors; they hoped that someone would save them before being condemned for treason, but opposing resistance would just be committing suicide.

”Who do you think you are for arresting my son and my two grandsons?”

An old man who seemed to have a similar age and power than Lar's grandfather appeared showing anger in his face and his voice.

”They tarnished the honor of the clan by killing the members of the younger generation from my faction. If it wasn't because the excellent time control of my granddaughter's fiancée they would have really died. This matter must be investigated, and you can't stop it.”

Lar's grandfather wouldn't let those three escape after seeing the killing they had made; that time Yale saved them, but he didn't expect that Yale would be there for saving them the next time. After all, it was impossible that all the young members of his faction were always near to Yale in case of being attacked and asking Yale to take care of them would still be too shameful.

”Nonsense! You are freeing them right now!”

The old man wielded his sword and activated his bloodline completely to suppress the members of the younger generation with it; he was ready to kidnap them to force Lar's grandfather to let free the arrested ones. Of course, after obtaining what he wanted, he would kill the hostage.

He knew very well that even if he freed them, his whole faction would still be investigated, so he was planning to flee from the clan. In that situation, he wanted to kill as many as possible.

The pressure was unbearable for all the members of the younger generation; the old man wasn't using his power as a Grandmaster Rank expert to suppress them, but the Sword Bloodline, so it was difficult to Lar's grandfather to obtain proofs of his acts. It was difficult to determine who was using the bloodline to suppress others, so it would be difficult to prove who was the culprit; using their realm to suppress others would be far more evident.

Lar and Durgan were able to resist it a bit due to having a perfect bloodline, but it was obvious that the old man controlled the bloodline better despite having a slightly worse one. To Lar that was a shame because she should have a far better control given that her past life was one of the two people who created the Sword Bloodline.

Mercer directly lost his consciousness due to the pressure; his bloodline was far too weak to support that kind of suppression. That was one of the main motives the outer clan members had such a low position; they were very easy to suppress just relying on their bloodlines.

Yale felt the pressure, but he wasn't affected by it in the slightest by it. However, although the old man saw that, since Yale wasn't a member of the Larken Clan it was normal that he couldn't suppress him with his bloodline.

Having a bad bloodline like Mercer was even worse than not having any in case someone older wanted to suppress others using the bloodline.

”Using your bloodline to suppress the kids? You are shameless; it seems that you also need to be investigated.”

Lar's grandfather wasn't a fool, and even if he couldn't demonstrate who was suppressing the kids, he knew very well that to do such a great suppression, only someone like himself or that old man could do it.

”You have no proof! Maybe they all have just some illness, and it appeared to everyone at the same time. It should be an illness affecting bloodlines. See! That criminal from the Zhan Clan is fine; he should be the one who poisoned everyone. We are fine because his poison isn't strong enough. The kid who he grabbed before is the one in the worst state; this is the best proof. You need to kill him, and everyone would be healed; I am sure of that. Everything today is that criminal's fault, you are accusing my son and my grandsons unfairly.”

The face of Lar's grandfather was grim after hearing that; he knew who Yale was because Herken had already told him and he didn't plan to harm Yale in any way after Yale had saved everyone.

”Don't try to argue with him. He is also a traitor and probably knew that he would be caught after an investigation. In that case, I think that he will plan to harm as much as possible before fleeing.”

That message reached Lar's grandfather and Herken by Spiritual Sense, they had already guessed that, but they still hoped to solve that situation without needing to kill anyone until a proper investigation was made.
