BXBX NOVEL Chapter 363 - Master
Taking into consideration the fact that the army of demons that I massacred were all used by the shaman for the sake of the \'Demonic Sovereign Sacrifice\' back then, leaving nothing behind. It proved that my decision to keep the demon head was correct, nothing is completely predictable, even finding another demon base didn\'t provide me anything for the sake of proof.
Both the only two survivors weren\'t eligible either, one of them completely returned back to his human form while the other had to be left to die on his own to give me some time so that my plan wouldn\'t fail prematurely.
Standing here in front of the leaders of the most powerful ten factions in this domain, being almost the top 10 powerful beings of the domain themselves, just one item like this made them speechless.
It was to be expected, after all, while this domain seemed to have a higher standing with the demons being even more deep-rooted in comparison to the Light Domain, the demons had yet to reveal themselves other than to the select few who had accepted their corruption. So seeing something like this would bring deep shock, even more so when it came to those who had knowledge of the demons.
"Where did you obtain this?"
The Supreme Sword finally let out the question that the rest wanted to ask, but the cult of elements\' master was already standing before me as she started to observe the head at very close proximity but she didn\'t touch it till now, her hands were merely hovering around it.
"Why bother asking? That takes too long!"
As if it was her reply to the Supreme Sword\'s question, a wave of domineering mental energy made its way to my mind space immediately…
\'This is really…\'
The mental energy wasn\'t a mental transmission or a mental message of any sort, as a person who had conducted something similar twice before, which was quite recently, I knew exactly what she was trying to do!
She was brazenly trying to conduct a mind search in the middle of the top powers\' meeting!
What was considered a taboo that even Blade had been reluctant to use it and only chose to do so since the future of humanity was at stake, was being used casually by the master of one of the top 3 factions!
\'These people from the cult are really too crazy…\'
Nonetheless, the expression on my face didn\'t change. While my mental energy wasn\'t strong enough to crush the invading mental energy just like I did with that representative, it didn\'t require much effort for me to drive it out, this was my own mind space after all.
While all of the people in this meeting were all stronger than me in most aspects, the one ability that would be on par or even stronger was naturally my mentality, using the advantage of it being my home ground, I could even do some damage to the invading mentality but that wasn\'t the time for this.
"You… this familiar mentality… you are that child from the recent tournament?"
The middle-aged woman suddenly stopped staring at the demon head in my hands as she stared at me instead, it was as if she just found a new toy that interested her. From her reaction, she should have already realized I was the one that crushed that representative\'s mentality fragment as she probably did check him up prior to this.
"Elle!"
A voice sounded out, bringing the middle-aged woman out of her staring trance as the heavy atmosphere grew heavier, even I could feel a bit heavier just standing there.
"You should stop being that arrogant for once, the current situation can\'t handle you screwing around! I wouldn\'t mind confronting you now but we need to conserve our strength for the upcoming crisis!"
The source of the voice was Blade whose face was very solemn and stiff, he already told me to be ready for similar acts from the Cult Master or \'that crazy woman\' as he referred to her.
"Blade, give him to me! I happen to lack a suitable personal apprentice, he will do! As long as you let go of him, I will follow you unconditionally against that threat."
The middle-aged woman stared at me with crazy eyes as if to confirm to her nickname as she asked…
"No can do, he isn\'t my apprentice to begin with, he is but a guest to my sect."
Blade\'s reply was firm as the rest of the attendees simply watched the show, it seemed like none of them wanted to interfere between the two even the Supreme Sword himself.
However, Blade\'s refusal caused the middle-aged woman\'s excited expression to change into one of shock!
"What do you mean? You know he already… How can you pass the chance to take him as your apprentice?!"
\'It really happened…\'
Blade had actually expected that, he said that in this tense situation someone is still likely to notice how \'Extraordinary\' I was, and that was exactly the reason why he made me present the head myself!
"This guest, young Lan, already has a master of his own. This master\'s ability surpasses us all, I included, he had seen a lot of things under his master\'s guidance and he plans on helping us with this knowledge of his, so just stay silent and allow him to explain!"
We planned to use it as a front to make my explanation go smoothly!
More precisely, to Blade, me having a \'great master\' was partly the truth. This was a necessary part of my explanation to him regarding the whole possibility of me achieving \'Domain Travel\' or something similar to it and meeting demons with my current level of power, besides, he did know of this before I mentioned it myself.
By now, I already confirmed that the relationship between White and Blade was much more deeper than it seemed to be, so he already had a basic understanding of my \'background\'...
