"Plus, have you ever heard of a Dark Beast Master allowing his partners to cling to him like that? What I should be asking you is why your precious disciple decided to provoke him as such. If it weren't for his words, this situation would have blown over completely. But because of him, there's some skepticism."
"Are you saying his words were wrong?" The golden robed elder retorted. "They were wholly sound. He's nothing but a womanizer, who says he treats his wife well?"
The surrounding masters rolled their eyes. The Guild Head of the Magic Masters was like an overprotective mother when it came to Diasho Ken, they weren't even related. It was too ridiculous.
"His words were as flagrant as if I assumed you were robbing a baby's cradle every time you spoke about Diasho Ken." The purple robed Guild Head of the Poison Masters giggled through his hoarse voice, coughing lightly.
"What did you say to me?!"
"I'm just saying that if a Master-Student sex scandal came out revolving around you two, I wouldn't be surprised, hehe."
"You!" Magic circles erupted around the Guild Head. The surge of energy was so powerful that the tower floor they were on threatened to collapse despite the ridiculous number of reinforcements.
"Calm your rage and ease up on the nonsense, Fel." The Guild Head of the Beast Master's stepped in.
"If his beasts weren't tortured, then what is the reason for their white fur?" An azure robed elder interjected, hoping to change the subject.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's hard to tell… It's possible that this was change evoked by his blood fusing with theirs and connected to a special bloodline he has himself. It's also possible that he's used precious plants in their growth as well."
"Precious plants? Weren't they mere Earth Grade beasts? Why?" Another elder injected.
"I we can't be certain of that. After all, even with our soul strength, we can't see through his Mask's masking ability. We likely only see what he wants us to see. The trouble with all of this is that if the beasts become interested enough in his methods due to this story blowing up, they'll definitely use the excuse your precious disciple laid out for them.
"This would have been swept under the rug if Diasho Ken's threat never happened, because then it wouldn't have been worthy of SNN."
The room became silent. It was only now they understood what the problem was. Anyone with half a brain would realize that Dyon hadn't tortured his partners… But, a beast clan would definitely become very much interested in the methods he used to purify his partners to such an extent and might even pressure BPA into taking action lest they declare a righteous war on the humans.
If that happened… The most glaring problem wouldn't be here in their homelands, but rather… On the Ancient Battlefield…
While all of this was happening, Dyon was completely oblivious.
He had already made his way to Celestial Deer Corner and had entered the cultivation room directly beside Clara's. It was time to awaken his constitutions.
Before Dyon began, he couldn't help but sigh. Originally, he had gone to Sapientia Quadrant planning to not only buy the materials needed for the constitution awakening pill, but also for the [Barrier Breaking Pill] needed to cure his mother-in-law.
Even now Dyon trembled in rage thinking about the torture Ri's mother must have gone through… To even have her tails ripped out in such a way and being forced into her beast form… It was too cruel.
Of course, Dyon paid back Loki many times over for his evil, but something within Dyon couldn't help but feel that Loki was just a symptom. He wouldn't feel right until the entire Ragnor Empire was crushed beneath his feet.
Their list of evil deeds was simply too long… Whether that be sacrificing newborns for the sake of chaining their faith seed wielders with karma, or torturing their own auxiliary clans like the Ipsum and Saeclum, just to use them as sacrificial pawns, or being instrumental in the plans of the entity… Any one of those things was enough for Dyon to destroy them to their roots, yet they had been responsible for all of them.
Dyon hadn't been there, but he remembered listening to the stories of what happened while he was fighting Loki and Elder Daiyu… The Ragnor had actually been cruel to the point of turning fallen comrades into puppets and meat shields… This was the kind of clan that was capable of raising someone like Tammy, who had once been pure of heart, into someone willing to facilitate the rape of their only friend…
Dyon's hate for the Ragnor ran deeper than even his will to uproot the Pakal clan…
Unfortunately, the barrier breaking pill was a comet grade pill. Although Dyon was confident in concocting it, the problem was the procuring the materials. He had planned on going back after raising his funds a bit more, but considering what happened during his visit, it would probably be best if he didn't go back for a while.
Although Dyon hadn't spent much time with his mother-in-law, the fact Ri cared for her was enough reason for him to go all out. Still, even if that wasn't the case, Kawa had always been kind and caring toward him.
'My reach is still too limited…' Dyon looked at the materials laid out before him, sighing once more.
When Dyon had given Amy the list of materials he needed, he purposely included some of the materials he could currently afford for the barrier breaking pill. After all, he had made a big show of calling out their current pill formulas, so he wouldn't just hand them half of his own.
Although he doubted they had the skill necessary to concoct it, especially since Madeleine's mother couldn't even concoct a master grade pill, it was better to be safe than sorry.
"We won't bother you if we watch, will we?" Mia asked doubtfully as Sen rubbed his hairy little face into her chest. She knew that Dyon brought them out so they wouldn't be cooped up, but didn't alchemists need absolute quiet to work?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDyon chuckled. "It's only a Master grade pill, I could finish it with my hands tied behind my back. Don't worry about it."
Hearing this, the twins relaxed, their blue eyes sparkling with curiosity as Dyon began.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"That little bastard dared to appear so casually! He doesn't take my Void Clan seriously, now does he?!"
A black robed elder raged, shaking Void Palace to its core. Dense black energy emitted from his hands as crater after crater appeared in the once sturdy foundation.
It had already been more than half a year since the events of the valley of geniuses. Yet, the kitsune had still gotten no word of what had happened to their geniuses. Although it might be true that they had other geniuses, Aki was the only nine tails they had had for several generations. Other than the current dao formation experts they had, and three celestial realm geniuses, they had no others. Losing him was unacceptable!
Even worse than all of this, Gin had fallen from the ranks of eight tails, to seven, something that made the Patriarch of the Jikan Clan rage so fiercely that he suffered backlash during cultivation. Only the Heaven Clan's Patriarch felt like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders, maybe because he thought that he had lost an eight tails in Masako, but Dyon had actually revived her before the worst.
With the anger of the three leading clans flamed to such a level, the lower level kitsune could only duck their heads and remain silent, hoping that none of this anger would be directed toward them. Still, the Snow Clan wasn't so lucky…
Of course, the Kitsune didn't dare to go too far since their geniuses were still in Dyon's hands, but that didn't mean they did absolutely nothing. It was just unfortunate for them that Ri and Dyon cared little for the plights of the Snow Clan.
In addition, Ri's grandparents had never been connected to Ri. This was because the origins of Ri had been kept a secret this whole time. Plus, for obvious reasons, the Snow Clan didn't dare to reveal this information either, lest Ri turn her anger on them as well.
"Instead of breaking everything like a madman…" The Golden Tailed Patriarch of the Heaven Clan stepped forward. "… How about you listen to this interesting theory of mine?"
