Chapter 782: Conversation Between Top Powers and Yasenia.
"Fu Lang Zu, has your temper shortened after losing your limbs? If you are not careful, you will end up like the Garuda Patriarch."
After hearing Tengliu's words, Fu Lang Zu sneered. "Do you not have anything else to mock me with? It seems that I overestimated your intelligence."
Tengliu's lips arched. "You just have fewer things than usual to mock, so I can't help but focus on your missing qualities."
Fu Lang Zu showed his fangs in a dangerous and handsome smile. "I could probably make you go missing if we fought."
Tengliu laughed, dismissing him. "Sure, sure."
The Holy Beast Empire's Emperor appeared and snorted. "What are you two, children?"
The Abyss Chasm Empire's Emperor also appeared. "It's a shame, truly."
The Holy Beast Emperor looked over. "What do you mean?"
The Abyss Chasm Emperor shook his head. "Why didn't you surrender to the Divines? At least, you would've made a decent opponent. However, now that we have the Demon's backing and you choose" He looked at Yasenia with an indifferent face. "That. We are not competing even at the same level."
Yasenia looked at him and chuckled.
With a frown, the Abyss Chasm Emperor looked over. "What are you laughing about, junior? Have your parents not taught you about respect toward your elders?"
Yasenia smiled coldly. "You are acting as if the Demons are some sort of big deal. Oh, they are so powerful that when I slaughtered one of their kind in front of them, they decided not to act~."
The Abyss Chasm Emperor shook his head. "Ignorant. If you think that just because of that, you are over them, then you are delusional. I don't know from what kind of place you come from, but there are tens of cultivators in the Transcendent Realm from where the Demons come. One of those is enough to annihilate you with one look."
Yasenia lifted her eyebrow. "Oh Tens of them?"
The Demons appeared and Dyrathos, the flame demon leader, mocked. "What, are you learning to be afraid now, Dragon?"
Yasenia blinked and smiled. "I didn't expect it from brainless creatures, but I think you would be able to feel my nervousness if I were, right? After all, Demons are quite acute at detecting negative emotions. Say, try to find anything like that in me."
Dyrathos ridiculed. "Did you think that you can hide behind your tools and try to deceive me? Regardless if I can or not, the fact that you have been speaking in circles is quite telling of your mental situation."
With a sigh, our dragoness shook her head. "Honestly, what have you come here to do? You can't attack me, you can't influence me, and you can't prove any of your claims." Yasenia's eyes flashed, and she smiled. "How about now I say that my mother is in the Law Creator Realm? Would you believe me?"
The girls and maids behind Yasenia had to hold back their bodies from reacting, many of them stifling their laughter. 'That tone They'll probably take it as a joke.'
Dyrathos and the other demons mockingly laughed. Dyrathos sneered. "Little girl, if you knew what those words mean, you wouldn't speak them so easily. Do you even understand how terrifying a Law Creator truly is? Even our Demon Sovereigns can only match up to them. They are powerhouses of the Universe everywhere except in the high-heavens. One of them can rule galaxies worth of territory."
Yasenia blinked and tilted her head. "Really?"
Her hand, holding Tatyana's hand, squeezed as if asking why she hadn't said it before. Tatyana didn't react; she just smiled as she looked at her, making Yasenia want to take a bite out of frustration. 'I know so little about you'
Tatyana's eyes bent with laughter. 'Didn't you tell me in the past that you wanted to discover things about me by yourself?'
Yasenia secretly cursed at her past self.
Dyrathos looked at Yasenia with disdain in his eyes. "You didn't even know that, and you claim that your mother is in that esteemed realm? As the Abyss Chasm Emperor said, it seems that you lack respect for the seniors."
Yasenia's eyebrow twitched, annoyed. 'They got a one up on me because of that silly detail.' Then, she threw it to the back of her mind. 'Whatever, I can't win all vocal confrontations.'
Suddenly, the old man from the Wolf Clan looked at Yasenia and spoke slowly but clearly. "You are the most talented junior I've ever met in my 14,000 years of life."
Yasenia looked over, her thoughts drifting at what she heard from Alaia previously. 'No wonder he is so strong. He must've been stuck at this level for a while already. Unable to break through, the only thing he can do is refine his strength in the same realm as much as possible. Therefore, he can fight against Alaia, who just entered the Half-step Dantian Spiritualization Realm.'
Strangely, Yasenia couldn't feel hostility coming from him, puzzling her.
Therefore, she bowed honestly, cupping her fist. "It is an honor to be evaluated as such by senior."
The old man's eyes flashed, and he smiled a little, his muddy eyes brightening slightly. "Respectful even when our powers are at odds. Admirable. While I don't know why you are acting provocatively with those brats Tell me, child, why are you at odds with young Lang Zu."
Yasenia answered respectfully at his first words. "While they are seniors, they are taking a fight with this junior. Then, doesn't that degrade them to the same level as I? While seniors deserve respect, they also need to earn it." Yasenia looked at the demons and the other Continental Shadow seniors and shook her head. "They are just a disappointing bunch that want to bully me and push me down because I've become a clear obstacle in their plans. If nobody ever attacked me, I would probably not be here at all. I just wanted to develop and then leave this place silently, yet people can't help but provoke me time and time again."
The powers felt that they had been slapped in the face. Some needed to hold back their anger, forcing their faces to become a shade of red.
Yasenia ignored it and turned toward the Wolf Senior. After thinking for a few seconds, she decided to explain it objectively. "It went like this, respected elder. After I arrived at Koran City, a city ruled by one of Fu Lang Zu's sons, I was oppressed by him. I naturally resisted and didn't vow down. As a consequence, there was a conflict that eventually ended in me killing Fu Lang Zu's son as well as annihilating one of the second-rate sects under Fu Lang Zu's control called [Five Shadow Fangs Sect]."
The people around didn't interrupt, wanting to learn more about this conflict.
However, Yasenia continued with a neutral tone, neither adding nor subtracting anything. "Then, after the secret realm more than four years ago, I found many treasures, and he wanted to steal them by force. My subordinates managed to repel him and slice his arm and leg because he attacked with the intention of killing me after breaking a non-attacking agreement. Because of that, our enmity deepened."
Yasenia finished by saying. "After other conflicts, he sent an army my way in conjunction with other powers to test my strength. I similarly repelled it, reaching today's situation. My words can be easily confirmed with a little bit of investigation."
Hearing Yasenia's words, many people listening could feel how neutral and sincere Yasenia's tone was. She presented facts without adding any emotions from her point of view.
Moreover, many powers knew how petty some people from the Wolf Clan could be. Therefore, they understood that what Yasenia spoke was probably close to 90% of the truth, making many people look disapprovingly at Fu Lang Zu.
The elderly wolf looked at Fu Lang Zu. "Are her words the truth?"
Fu Lang Zu sneered, not looking at all as if what he had just heard was a problem. "Old man, she has challenged the pride of our pack time and time again. If she was obedient from the beginning, nothing like this would've happened."
Yasenia looked at him mockingly but didn't answer. Their current conflict was not something that could be resolved with words.
The old man sighed, his white wolf ears softly lowering. "It looks like the fault is on our part."
Many people raised eyebrows, and even Fu Lang Zu's face changed.
The old man commented. "Yasenia, right?"
Curious, Yasenia answered. "Yes, senior."
"While it is the truth that you have been wronged, sadly, my race's alliance is with those who want to oppose you."
Yasenia knew that the elderly wolf would take Fu Lang Zu's side regardless, so she easily nodded with a smile. "I understand. Not everything can be resolved with words. Even if you declared that you want to become my ally, it is impossible to accept as a grand majority in the Wolf Race is already afflicted by propaganda and many other means. Alliance has been impossible for a long time already."
The old man's muddy eyes shone with praise, and then he sighed and placed his hands on his back. "It's a shame, truly. I would've loved having a granddaughter like you."
Yasenia smiled. "It would not have been a difficult outcome in a different situation. Senior is wise, so having an elder such as yourself would be any junior's privilege. It's a shame that the leader of the wolf race is Fu Lang Zu and not senior."
The old man laughed. "Good! I wish you luck, Young Yasenia. I hope you manage to survive our means."
Yasenia cupped her fists again, smiling. "I would wish senior for a long life, but that would be problematic for me. I will just wish for a peaceful and satisfying end for senior."
The old wolf burst into laughter. "Good speech! Lang Zu, let's go. There is no meaning in continuing our conversation. All that needed to be said has already been exchanged."
Fu Lang Zu followed after giving a glare at Yasenia.
Meanwhile, Zephyrith had been communicating with Sierra. You could see a gentle wag on her tail as her usual emotionless red eyes shone with hidden joy and shyness. 'Sierra has become so strong and beautiful~.'
The Ancient Beast Rank Aura that Sierra allowed Zephyrith to feel made the Fate Wolf feel her heart pounding. The joy of being courted by such a high-level bloodline wolf was fulfilling to a fundamental level. Moreover, since Zephyrith and Sierra had been slowly deepening their bonds with the communication device, Zephyrith right now was feeling like a little girl being courted by the most popular mate.
Tatyana commented as she looked at the retreating back of the old wolf. "An interesting person."
Yasenia agreed. "But we can't let him live. Such a person will give us many headaches if left alive."
Doriel asked, her hand caressing the pommel of her dagger resting on her waist. "Shall I assassinate him?"
Yasenia looked at her. "Can you do it with 100% confidence? He can fight with Alaia to a standstill, so he can't be weak. if you fail, being captured is the last of your worries. Let's forget about desperate maneuvers for now."
Kali asked. "What about poisons? Don't we have that extremely powerful poison that we got from that kid back in the Sky Continent?"
Yasenia blinked. "You mean the Transcendent-level Poison that supposedly could affect Mom?"
Kali nodded.
Yasenia got thoughtful. "Hm I think that wasting a poison that can kill Transcendence Level cultivators on him is a waste. Let's let it be for now. Once we start an all-out war, we can plan how to do it."
Doriel and Kali nodded. "Understood."
