Cheat Cultivator's Ascension - Chapter 528 - 528: Meeting of the Great Ones

While the immortal-like young man and the vampiric lady he is teaching the way of spirit qi, enjoy their morning, panic, or rather, chaos ensues within a certain place as news is delivered to them, a room with arguments from all sorts of people, seemingly shaking as the strength of each person in this room is displayed through their voice alone.

“What kind of nonsense is that!??”

“That Liliana, what sort of sick thing did she eat for her to even get the courage to act like that in front of us??”

“Hahaha, that’s what one gets when they improve their talents even if it’s just a little”

“Forget the humans since the vampire royal family still pays attention to them, perhaps we should play around with a fellow of the same stature for now, after all, it wouldn’t be a desecration of the vampire royal family’s order if we do that!!”

Gathered around a single room watching a projection standing right in the middle of all of them, individuals of all forms and sizes starts talking, arguing and agreeing with each other as they heard the words that comes out of the mouth of the lady that is the focus of the projection they are watching, the same words, echoing in the minds now for quite a while.

“Tell your Great Ones to fuck off, or they can also go ahead and show themselves here if they dare”

“T-this, Lady Liliana, please understand our situatio—”

“The situation calls for no one’s understanding, enforcers. I am neither convinced nor am I obligated to hand this man over just because your superior says so. This is my domain, and in my domain, it is not their rules, but mine, that you should follow.”

“Now, allow this lady to ask you, enforcers, what will you say once you return to your lords in a moment?”

“T-That they need to personally get here if they want to get the young man…”

“If they dare to take what’s mine, not if they want to get him…”

Those were that words that was conveyed through the exchange of a vampire race’s talent, a talent that was assumed to be just an average one in the past but exploded not only in popularity, but also in terms of true prowess, in the past few weeks, making most, if not all of the people in this room curious about how she suddenly reaches that level of talent in terms of her combat prowess.

“Silence… this room is one that gathers talent all across the continent, what sort of talents are all of you if you can’t even keep your composure with this kind of cheap provocations?” coming from one of the closest seats to the projection, a cold, calm, masculine voice resounded as a figure turns around to face all there is in this room, his stature, along with the charismatic air around him causing all the attention to get pulled into his being.

“That lady sure doesn’t know what’s good for her, doesn’t she?” despite the mask of calm composure covering what is truly hiding beneath his face, his voice reveals an obvious trace of annoyance, yes, annoyance, rather than anger, almost as if there’s an insect that keeps buzzing on both his ears, not enough to cause him any harm but more than enough to provoke his ire to no end.

“Lyria…” taking a gaze sideways, towards the lady sitting at the same frontmost row as him, this charismatic man causes this lady to have shivers running down her spine as she just felt like a prey having an apex predator staring down on her, a simple call to her name prompting her to stand as she addressed him in a polite tone.

“Y-yes, P-prince Noveus?” she said in a bowed head as her senses warn her that right now, this man is angrier than anyone else expects; this warning she heeds as she tries her best not to invoke this dangerous individual’s ire.

“This one’s from your own race, so I suppose it won’t be a problem for you to teach her what it means to disrespect our group, right?” the man said as he continues to stare menacingly at the lady, and from the depth of his pupils, appears a vertical slit, making his eyes appear like it is some sort of reptilian feature that fits perfectly on him.

“Yes, I see no problem dealing with her” hearing the man’s words, this lady called Lyria was shocked for a moment before a smile blossom from her beautiful face, a smile of anticipation as she thought to herself that this would be a good, no a great opportunity to deal with a thorn that has been on her side for a quite a long time.

“Great, anyone else wants to show this vampire noble what it truly means to provoke us?” nodding at the reply of affirmation from the lady, the man with the vertical slit pupil asked, the grand, majestic air around him causing the other people in this group to just stare at him in awe, this scene lasting for quite a while before volunteers starts stepping forward.

“I would like to watch what would happen firsthand, so I volunteer.”

“Hahaha, in that case, I will join too.”

“Perhaps the vampire royal family has been too lax with their teachings about offending us…”

“Let me join as well. Lady Lyria should not be the only vampire punishing this offender”

“Interesting, her place should be bordering our great forest, so I should take this opportunity to roam around her land as well.”

In the end, aside from the lady who was assigned as the leader of this group meant to punish Liliana, the offender, there are also six powerful individuals who stepped in to watch, if not participate in the show, among those six, two volunteers came just behind the row where the man with the slit pupil and the vampire lady, both of them sharing a grand and powerful air around them, both appearing to be just a bit shy, if not of similar level as the vampire lady and the man standing beside her.

“Great, this should be the end of the meeting for now, those seven will deal with the offender, and the rest of us will accompany them so we can watch… we can pick up the human after that” seeing that there are quite the volunteers, the man who seems to be the most influential one among this group, the one called Noveus, said with a satisfied smile on his face, his words causing another wave of chattering to explode from the crowd.

This time, however, it wasn’t the angered, offended tone that they had when they were discussing the vampire lady in the projection they just watched, but rather, songs of praise directed towards Noveus, each seemingly aiming to praise him as if these people were all seeking to curry favor from him.

“We will set towards the domain of Mira Liliana Van Sanguinis an hour later, punishments shouldn’t be delayed after all.” Seemingly looking forward to the trip they are going to make, the vampiric lady beside Noveus, Lyria, announced with an excited voice, eliciting an even greater sound of cheer from the members of the group.

The Great Ones start to move.
