Chapter 200 Last Night (Talent Thief)
Chiron killed his own clan's men without remorse.
Whether it was male, female, old, young, infant. Every person in the safe house that was considered a living breathing thing was slaughtered.
Those that tried to escape the massacre were stopped by the Essence draining spider.
*SILENCE!*
Once Chiron was done with the last person, the entire area was silent.
Chiron mounted the back of the essence Draining spider and once more, he went to the next Safe house.
His slaughter was once again ensured.
While Chiron went on a killing spree, something else of strong significance was happening within the clan.
A particular ceremony was undergoing deep under the Arena.
Only three participants were here for the Transfer ceremony.
"For many years, I have been stuck at the high stage of the Copper realm. In over three hundred years, I am the closest there has ever been to a bronze level cultivator in the clan. But the bottleneck in my cultivation prevented me from achieving my goal," Chief Dona squeezed his fist tightly in thought.
"This night! this night is going to be different. I'll finally become a Bronze level cultivator and crush my brother once and for all. After which, I'll make the Chikitsa clan absorb all the other sword clans."
Chief Dona had these thoughts run through his mind like a river along a specific path.
For a long time, he had been stuck as a cultivator in the copper realm. No matter how hard he cultivated, he was never able to push forward. The bottle neck into a different realm was not one that was easily attained.
The major reason for this bottle neck was the same reason why Elder Harden was sick.
Yes! it was Beast core poisoning.
There were no records within the clan that thought against this, and the practice of absorbing spiritual energy from beast core was a norm in this society.
Chief Dona and Elder Aleen were the most talented people in the clan before the birth of Cablen, Nora and Chiron.
Many had high hopes for them, and many even said that they were destined to reach the silver rank just like the Ancestor of the Chikitsa Clan.
However, both of them were far gone in age and were stuck at the Copper rank.
As Chief of the can, Chief Dona had access to many records. Some of them were even on old energy sources and the like. Many of them on cultivation techniques, and unsurprisingly, forbidden techniques.
It was one such technique that he found the Yin and Yang Talent Swapping flower. The day he actually found this technique in the archives, was actually the day that Chiron had beat Cablen, his son, regardless of not having any cultivation.
He had entered the archives searching for a way he could break the bond Chiron had with Devil's touch without needing to kill his special weapon. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮
The performance Chiron had with the sword had touched him that much, and he had thought of Chiron's sword as a means of breaking into the Bronze rank.
But then he had found the information on the Yin and Yang Talent Swapping Flower.
The secret Garden of the clan had this flower, but the Dragon head in front of the garden would not agree to gift it to him.
Even though it was called the chief's garden, the Chief did not have full access to it.
Chief Dona was forced to source for it outside the clan.
Chiron was not aware that his actions at the Cultivation test had such ripple effects and affected Nora's Fate. Which in turn made him miss harvesting Nora for his own benefits.
He had thought that it would take him ages to find, but for some reason, Fate seemed to be on his side and he found it quicker than he expected.
The Talent Swapping Flower had the ability to take one's cultivation Talent and putting it in another person.
Dona's plan was simple. He was going to take Nora's S-grade Dantain for himself.
The entire fa?§ade of betrothing his son to his brother's daughter was all because of this.
"Chief Dona! the Dagger clan has began their assault on the clan. We will have to begin the ceremony immediately." Elder Fatso informed.
Chief Dona nodded and got up from his seat.
He was not at all surprised at the attack of the Dagger clan on the Chikitsa Clan.
He already had it in mind that the dagger clan was soon to come for the Chikitsa clan again.
But to say that he thought it would be too soon was a different matter.
He was chief of the clan and really should have been out there to defend his clan from the invaders, but he knew more than anyone that if he went out there, it wouldn't change much.
of course, there was still the chance that he and the elders could use the Tamashi as a weapon against the Dagger clan.
However, there were a few hiccups to that plan.
Many people knew that the Tamashi was used as a weapon against the Dagger clan many years ago, but not many knew how.
At that time, the Chikitsa clan were fortunate enough to have gotten the news of the attack first.
Back then, the Dagger clan were very brazen and walked around with the air that all clans were beneath them.
They had announced the day of their arrival expecting the Chikitsa clan to panic and give up before they came.
But things did not go that way.
The Chief at the time sent some elders and the Tamashi into the clan area of the Dagger clan while at the same time, he threatened that he had a weapon and was going to fire it from the clan and blow up the Dagger clan.
Of course, the dagger clan thought this was a lie. In fact, everyone thought so. After all, the distance from the Chikitsa clan to the Dagger clan was not small.
A person that could attack from such a great range should be a cultivator in at least the Gold rank.
But the then Chief of the Chikitsa clan had timed it just right. He was smart and when the Tamashi exploded and took a huge chunk of the Dagger Clan with him, everybody understood that it was an attack from the Chikitsa clan.
This was the biggest fault with using the Tamashi as a weapon.
The Tamashi was not a bad weapon. It was just one that needed to be stationed ahead of time. free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐om
Even if Chief Dona said that he was to use the Tamashi now, he first had to gather at least four elders that had participated in sealing the technique on Chiron's body, and then he had to send them all the way to the Dagger clan.
By the time they made it to the Dagger clan, the Chikitsa clan would already be done for.
However, there was a better deterrent that could work.
After all, Power would always listen to the power of equal strength or higher.
With power as a bronze rank cultivator, he would be able to easily subjugate all the chiefs of the other clans, and then he could also Challenge the Dagger Father of the Dagger clan.
Yes! Chief Dona was well aware that Dagger Father was a cultivator in the Bronze rank.
the only reason a man as greedy as the Dagger father had not launched an attack against the Chikitsa clan all this time was because of the presence of the Tamashi.
It was easy to understand that if he was attacking now, then it meant that he had maybe found out that the Tamashi's power could not be operated remotely, or he must have found a way to deal with the Tamashi.
Either ways, showing his face out there was him just courting death in the face.
He was sure that the Dagger father was lying in wait for when he would appear for him to take his head.
Chief Dona went to the formation.
He stripped his shirt down, and he was only in his underwear.
Elder joules smiled at him, "when this is all over, there is still some of that beast meat soup you enjoyed before! I'll get it for you."
Chief Dona gave a smile as he nodded at her.
He knew that she was only comforting him about the process. But then again, he was not at all bothered about it.
Chief Dona waved his hand and a sword was thrown to him by Elder Fatso.
He placed a few drops of his blood on the sword, then the sword glowed in a low silvery light.
Chief Dona opened the box containing the Yin and Yang flower and brought it out.
He approached Nora who was panicking on the ground and begging for freedom.
He made a cut on her body and also placed drops of blood on the sword.
He placed the sword by their side. After which he used her blood and drew particular symbols on his own chest area, where is dantain was located. Then he used his blood an drew particular symbols on her own chest area where her Dantain was located.
Afterwards, he lay down by her side.
Elder fats entered the formation and did the rest.
He placed the Yin flower petal on Chief Dona's Dantain area, and the yang Flower Petal on Nora's Dantain area.
As he did, brought out some other ingredients prepared ahead of time, and placed them in the formation.
Each Ingredient to represent an element.
After he was done, he left the Formation.
Elder Joules nodded at Elder Fatso, and the...
