Chapter 502: [ Doubt ]

Allen was smiling but he had already noticed those greedy gazes from his surroundings. In this, he only smiled coldly. He was already a God who was able to kill a Mid God expert. How could a King fear some plebeians...?

Was he being a little too low-profiled that insects started to scheme against him?

If he feared, might as well find tofu and kill himself with it!

“It’s called Ruinos Castle… Bounded to me…” Bang! As Allen finished speaking, an intimidating aura gushed out from his body. The aura felt like it was released by the world itself, and the entire area became extremely heavy.

Even the trees swayed irregularly and the ground around them even issued cracking noises as small fissures appeared one after another.

Allen's eyes turned into ripple patterns and with that, a frightening killing intent, which could devour people, suddenly also appeared and passed away in a flash, being suppressed by him.

The complexion of all the people within the vicinity instantly paled as if they had bumped into a ghost in broad daylight.

“This is—?!”

“What the heck is this aura…?!

As for Venerable Passing, he immediately exerted all his Qi through his body and emitted his aura—even still, he couldn’t completely ward off Allen’s aura and his face slightly paled. “Sir Ye, what is the meaning of this?!” He cried out, glaring at Allen who had suddenly turned hostile.

“Nothing~” Allen smiled and his aura slowly disappeared. It's as if what happened just now was an illusion--“It’s a bit of precaution, you see…”

“Precaution?” One of the Elders glared but after meeting Allen’s red draconic eyes, he hurriedly averted his gaze.

“Yes, precaution… Venerable, I will be only here for a short amount of time. It's best if you ignore me till then--I don’t want any kind of conflict, so, I hope we can have a harmonious relationship until then,” Allen’s expression turned gentle.

Allen said those words very slowly and also extremely gently as if he was just telling something and didn’t seem to have any lethal energy. But the people who heard those words began to worry in their hearts.

He could ignore children’s threat but he couldn’t neglect the attention of these Sect Elders. He would meet some problems if these people targeted him. If they were trying to plot against him, he wouldn’t need to worry about it because he could always break the plot of his enemy.

Since he was within their compound and had welcomed him quite warmly despite being an outsider, he doesn’t want to disguise as a pig to eat a tiger, creating a misconception that he was someone easy to bully, amplifying their greed and might even give them a preconception that Allen was some pushover that they can easily bully.

Might as well cut the roots before it sprouted.

He should just be high profiled instead. As long as these problems would be resolved, it didn’t really matter to him whether it was by hook or by crook.

After sensing Allen’s aura which was even stronger compared to their Sect Master, those experts who intended to plot against him materialized themselves from the darkness. How could they continue to have such thoughts against him?

This was obvious even to an idiot. Allen must have come from a strong background. Not only this, his power was beyond their wildest comprehension…!

They would just be seeking death!

Fear surfaced on everyone’s face.

Noticing their expressions, Allen’s expression somewhat becomes softer. Then when he opens his palm, a crimson vial appeared.

Allen offered the crimson vial towards Venerable Passing, “This is…?” the latter asked in suspicion.

“It’s a token of my gratitude for letting me stay here… Blood of the Fire Phoenix—when consumed, every Fire-type abilities would increase in double or triple in an instant. One will also have the body that would be unafraid of fire, giving them a body loved by fire.”

"This is...?! A Phoenix Blood?!"

Allen explained with a warm expression. "Take it... compensation for your troubles,"

Venerable Passing stared at the vial and slowly took it.

“Thank you, little brother Ye for your gift,” seeing Allen’s gift, a trace of awe and excitement flashed across Venerable Passing’s eyes. This was a treasure! A heavenly treasure!

At this moment, any kind of anger and displeasure in the Venerable Passing’s mind instantly vanished.

Seeing him like this, Allen’s lips curled upwards. Blood of the Fire Phoenix? It’s the truth but also not the truth…! That is also only Allen’s blood infused with a bit of the Firebird’s blood essence. It wasn’t a pureblood of the Phoenix but Allen was also not lying.

The Mythical Bird; Bennu has the blood of the primordial phoenix, and a drop of it can really achieve what Allen claimed.

It was extremely rare—but for Allen? It wasn’t…!

--- ---

Since that day, Allen finally took residence within the Passing Cloud Sect and for some reason, he was given an honorary elder title by the Sect and become one of its Elder—albeit an Honorary one…!

Most Elders want to carry favors but, unfortunately for them, Allen was all the time hauled within the broken castle. And apart from Allen and her so-called disciple; Si Mulan, no other people were permitted to enter the castle courtyard.

Even the other Dawn member hadn’t shown their faces for quite some time—but this was nothing out of concern as Allen had already told them not to beforehand.

Dawn is a secret organization—if Venerable Passing and the other elders become aware of their existence, it might cause unnecessary suspicion.

More so, the current Dawn members were new disciples of the Passing Cloud Sect, it would surely create misunderstandings…!

*** ***

Allen was half lying down on a stone throne. In front of him was the collapsed hole—he was looking out to the full moon on his own.

Presently, the dark forest was rustling and swaying in the wind. A cold wind blew through the hole.

“Master, the wind tonight is cold… please move to your room…” A voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

“Nah, this kind of temperature is just enough…” Allen answered without looking back at the people that had appeared behind him.

Raising an expensive wine glass from a small table, he swirled the aromatic and exquisite wine in it.

The magnificent full moon was reflected on the red liquid's surface.

“Tonight's moon is very beautiful. It would be a waste not to enjoy it,”

Allen finished the wine with the moon's reflection in it then lowered his glass.

“Master…” A sighing voice rang out and Tap! Tap! Footsteps echoed in the silent hall—but it didn’t come from one person, instead, two people.

After arriving just in front of him, the moonlight rain down on the two people—one was wearing a white frilly maid uniform while the other was wearing a golden embroiled dress.

The maid stopped roughly two meters away from Allen and bowed respectfully while the beautiful lady in a golden dress stretched out her jade-like hands and gently massaged Allen’s shoulders.

Her expression was extremely sweet with a sense of satisfaction in her beautiful eyes. It was as though the happiest thing on earth would be for her to stay by his side and massage him.

“Is Master… worrying about the mortal world…?” The golden dressed woman asked with a sigh.

“… …” Allen didn’t respond and instead look towards the beautiful blue colored moon that was shining lonely.

“Master, I believe they would be fine… they would never believe you had fallen…” The maid waved her hand and a well-chilled bottle of wine appeared on her hands.

Refilling the glass, she handed this glass of wine to Allen, who had observed the entire process while staring at the two women beside him.

Demon Servant—Succubus; Laura.

Summoning Grimoire Spirit; Rebellion.

“Probably, but my sister and mom were surely be panicking right now. Because of what happened after my fight with Hanjin, all my abilities were canceled, including my clones.”

“… …”

“I had already tried opening space portal by synthesizing my existing abilities related to time and space—still, it wasn’t enough. I always failed.”

“But didn’t master managed to at least create a portal for a moment…?”

Raising the glass to the moonlight, Allen curled his lips. “Ah, but only for a second and the transition is extremely vague… the clone I sent disappeared afterward…”

During the month he was within the Passing Cloud Labyrinth, Allen had created many kinds of experiments along with the creation of his Domain. One of them was Time-Space Portal that connects to the mortal world from the Celestial Realm.

This was one of his priorities when he realized that all his clones left in the mortal world has been cut off in contact—meaning they had disappeared completely!

It was probably due to the fact that he had used all his power during that final battle with Hanjin, even causing him to suffer a terrifying backlash. However, all his experiments failed and have yet to bore any good results.

Even still, Allen wasn’t discouraged. The only problem he had at this moment, was world essence.

And the moment he managed to broke through High God Realm or at least Mid God Realm, he was certain that he would be able to create a passage towards the Mortal world, using the World’s Essence—or the so-called Origin.

“Then, worrying it would only make master hurt, does it not? Might as well, ease your worries for now, master and take your time. I’m certain that you will surely be able to do it…!”

Allen glanced at her and then sighs. “Truthfully… I don’t know what to do from now on….”

“… ?”

“The Celestial Realm is far more complicated than I had imagined. Many things I still had not properly understood…”

“But master, defeating Virgil can only make everything right. The moment Virgil disappeared, anything that threatened master’s life would surely vanish as well…”

“But killing Virgil was really enough…?” Allen raised his head and looked at the moon, those words echoing in his heart suddenly coming out from his mouth.
