Chapter 188 Plans Start Their Actions...
Chiron raised his head.
there was the image of a huge sword over his head.
This attack had come very suddenly. But then again, what was he expecting? he just killed her daughter.
Women Could be very emotional creatures. and this one was in deep sadness and anger.
Chiron immediately hid his frame behind the Devils''s touch as he took a huge leap back.
*BOOM!!!*
the effects of the attack struck hard at the ground. this was the attack of a cultivator in the copper realm.
Chiron had not activated his spirit energy and was forced to allow Devil's touch to take the bulk of the attack. However, he has still flung a good distance.
He rolled on the ground a bit, before using the tumbling momentum to get his footing.
he frowned tightly as he looked at where the attack had come from.
It was from the area where the chiefs were seated.
To be precis, it had come from Chief Sancca.
She was as angry and raging as a bull.
Her Saber sword was glowing in the color of her Copper energy. Her eyes stared fiercely at Chiron as eyes dropped from them.
her pain was very evident for all to see. However...
"Chief Sancca!" Chief Dona immediately stood to his feet, as well as the other chiefs.
Even though her daughter was killed, her actions were wrong. She was a chief and was attacking a junior.
These actions were not fitting for her status and were greatly frowned upon. Also, she was breaking the accord of the gathering of the sword clans.
Chief Dona faced her as his spiritual energy was roused up.
"Chief Sancca! I'll advise that you please stay your hand. Your current actions go against the established rules of the gathering of the sword clans. Even if it was your daughter, rules are rules for a reason."
Regardless of what chief Dona said, she wanted to raise her sword again. Her movements were slow, but as she did, the other chiefs also readied themselves for a fight.
She suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder that led to a hug from behind.
It was from her husband. His fingers traced her hand to her sword, and he held it tight.
"Not now!" he whispered lowly in her ear, "let's go!"
Her hold on her sword was tight. It was so tight that her veins popped like the roots of a tree.
Her face was red with both anger and frustration. She suddenly turned about and left the arena.
The entire arena was silent.
A lot of things had happened too fast for their minds to process it.
Chiron had beheaded Willow of the Saber Clan.
And her mother who was chief attacked a junior in her rage. Even though she was a mother and was not to be blamed for her rage, her actions speak lowly of her.
The crowd murmured lowly.
It had been a very long time since an acclaimed genius of a clan was killed during the Gathering of the sword clans.
Chiron on the other hand had his eyes on Chief Dona. Even though the chief had acted immediately to defend his clan man, Chiron knew that it was not so.
After all, Chief Dona was a cultivator at the peak of the copper realm. There was no way he was not able to defend against an attack of that grandiosity from Chief Sancca.
However, he had allowed the first attack to hit first before he stood to his feet in defence.
If Chiron did not know any better, he would have said that the chief was hoping that the technique would have crushed him on the spot.
If Chiron had not reached the Copper rank and had his body baptized by the spiritual energy of the copper rank, he would have definitely died from that attack.
He stood to up right. Chief Dona turned to him.
For a brief second, both of them exchanged eye contact, and then Chiron turned and walked out of the Arena.
As he did, the murmuring from the crowd increased.
Chief Dona suddenly announced that the event was over for the day.
As he did, the crowd emptied the arena.
This year's event had a lot of commotion attached to it, and a lot of gossiping needed to be done.
Of course, the headline would be the death of the genius of the Saber clan at the hands of the Black horse of the Chikitsa clan.
However, some others like Chief Dona had more important things to do.
Using a secret passageway, he left the Arena with Elder Joules in toll.
He went through several passages that led underground.
They were now directly under the Arena.
This was a huge and broad under ground cave.
It was lightened at different sides with spirit lamps.
In the center was a huge seal formation. It was exactly the size of the Arena above. At least it covered the entire circumference of the fighting stage.
In the center of the formation was a girl with little clothes on. She was tied down to the formation by spirit seals.
Unlike when she was brought here, she was currently awake. In her eyes was obvious panic.
Above her head was another huge formation. This formation was bright and almost a full copper color.
It seemed to be absorbing spiritual energy from above.
the little girl in the centre, was none other than Nora.
After she fainted during her battle, she was immediately brought here for 'Treatment'.
However, this was not the treatment she was supposed to be receiving.
In the time she was brought here, her father, Aleen, had come to look for her, but was informed by the healer in charge that she was receiving treatment and he couldn't interrupt the process.
He had accepted the explanation and left.
Nora was betrothed to Cablen. She was also a valuable asset to the Clan. In this regard, he was sure that nothing was going to happen to her. But was he right?
