I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world

Chapter 87 - Grand Patriarch 2

"The truth is I was actually poisoned all those years ago.

If nothing changed I would actually have died a gruesome death a few years into seclusion but the only difference between me and your dog of a father is that I still have a pair of good Sons!"

Hearing Grand Patriarch Jarred's reply, Nolan's face went purple in rage! 

"Brother Mahan! surely, you can deal with this old bag of bones!

He's just an old fart that just refuses to die, his power should be nothing to someone like you!"

But unlike what Nolan had been expecting, Elder Mahan wasn't quick ac, in fact, it seemed like he was even hesitating to take action!

Turning his head towards Elder Mahan, Grand Patriarch Jarred spoke,

"I actually have a bone to pick with you, Elder Mahan

 I enter seclusion for a few years and everyone and their dog thinks they can bully my sons!

Not to mention that you even have the balls to try and touch my Grandchildren!

Who gave you such confidence!"

As Grand Patriarch Jarred spoke, his hair started to move erratically as a grim aura of Red started to form around him 

"come out, three-headed Cobra king!"

A pillar of flames erupted around Jarred as a familiar phantom appeared in the sky once again.

the only difference between Jarred's Martial Spirit and Gavin's is that Jarred's own martial spirit was much larger similar to the difference was between a youth and a fully grown man!

 But just as everyone expected Elder Mahan to react, his next actions were even more shocking!

instead of confronting Grand patriarch Jarred as everyone had expected, he instead grabbed Patriarch Nolan and Curtis.

As soon as he was sure he had retrieved both those two, he brought out a pitch-black talisman into his hand and crushed it.

instantly a black portal engulfed Elder Mahan and the rest teleporting them far away from there, leaving everybody else stunned as they tried to comprehend what just happened!

 ...

Thousands of miles away, Elder Mahan suddenly reappeared out of thin air alongside Curtis and Patriarch Nolan.

"Master what the fuck are you doing!

we've just left our clansmen at the mercy of the Kinsman Clan.

do you have an idea of what sort of fate you've doomed them to! "

Curtis was so enraged that he even forgot it was his master talking to and began to scream at the top of his lungs.

Elder Mahan want even fazed by Curtis's emotions and still had a cold expression on his face as replied 

"Curtis, I don't think you understand how outmatched we were in that fight.

If took any longer to act we may not have even been able to escape."

But Curtis just couldn't take that explanation for an answer, he had just abandoned his clan and still needed a better explanation than what he was getting

"Master, so you're telling me that you, an Elder of the great Blood Moon Palace was so easily intimidated by an old man that recently broke through into the Martial Adept realm?

Not only were you intimidated by that Grand patriarch, but he also scared you so bad that you tucked your tail between your legs and ran! "

Curtis had lost all trust in his master.

He had basically abandoned his clan and fled like a coward where was the dignity in that?!

After hearing Curtis's words Elder Mahan finally lost his temper and a horrifying aura radiated from him as he replied 

"You're statement here only goes to further highlight your ignorance!

I was never afraid of the so-called grand patriach!

No, the one that really was too strong to handle was the one you call Winton.

If it wasn't because of the sudden interference of the Grand patriarch stopping his attack, we wouldn't even have had the chance to escape!

we would have died right there!"

Even as Elder Mahan talked about his experience, his body was still shaking with fear.

He could swear that he had never felt such a cruel aura on another human being before.

Not of the leader of The Blood Moon Palace could compare to that monster!

Hearing Elder Mahans reply had left Curtis stunned. 

Who could have thought that such a monster was quietly living in the Kinsman Clan this whole time?

But even with all these facts laid before him, Curtis still refused to accept this outcome.

Just one look at his father's dead eyes easily rekindled the hatred he felt.

No one could imagine the guilt Nolan was feeling.

After generations of battling it was finally his generation that was completely defeated, He was the one who had let down his forefathers!

The history of the Slater Clan had ended in his hands!

Such guilt had left him completely dead inside, unable to even find the energy to move anymore.

Seeing his father in such a sorry state had a profound impact on Curtis and Elder Mahan could clearly see this.

He knew that if he didn't do something to bring back Curtis's fighting will, his martial path could very well end right here!

Elder Mahan couldn't let that happen to Cutis.

As his most precious disciple, Curtis was supposed to be the one to inherit his mantle later when he couldn't carry in any longer. 

 He couldn't afford to see Curtis's will collapse here!

sensing the dire situation Elder Mahan quickly spoke out

"Although Winton Is ridiculously strong you can't give up hope now Curtis! 

You are not any less talented than him and within a few years I'm sure you'll be able to power through cultivation realms and reach his level, he'll it's only a matter of time before you surpass me!

so remember, use this anger and hatred and convert it into strength to one day get the revenge you desire!"

 After listening to the words of Elder Mahan it was as if a switch had clicked in Curtis's head.

he still had time to get stronger!
