Chapter 1889 Found Out
"I don't accept this!" Rage filled Sokzac's heart, a torrent of black lightning crossing through his skin and piercing toward the clouds above.
"My father has already decided." Lilith replied in a cool voice.
In truth, she felt pity both for herself and Sokzac. On one hand, her father pawned her off without a second thought, but on the other, Sokzac, too, was undeserving of this. In reality, he was deserving of far worse!
As her cultivation increased, Lilith's sensitivity to certain things also increased.
Back in Soul Universe, after she had had her soul injured by Dyon, she suddenly felt a spike in her affection for Sokzac. Though this affection was eventually stifled by stronger disgust, those feelings back then were real.
For a moment, she had truly wanted to rely on Sokzac, to even start treating him more as a fiancé, to maybe see where their relationship would lead.
Maybe… it wouldn't be so bad to marry him if she could develop feelings first.
Those were the things she had thought. But the instant she broke into the dao realm, as though an illusion was shattering, those feelings were extinguished completely.
At first, Lilith thought nothing of it. Maybe she had only grown more decisive. But the more she thought about it, the weirder it became.
Then she suddenly realized… that injury to her soul back then, it would have been the perfect opportunity for suggestion technique to work on her!
lightsn?v?l The moment she thought to this point, Lilith was filled with a cold rage, but there was nothing she could do. Not only did she not have any proof, but Sokzac was still her fiancé. She couldn't arbitrarily deal with him for fear of destroying the balance of their Devil Quadrants.
But in this moment… Chaos Universe and the arrival of her father provided the perfect opportunity…
A cold sweeping blade cut through the air.
Sokzac, who was in a fit of madness, didn't even notice until it was too late.
A spurt of blood surged into the skies as a head with a shocked expression spun without a body.
'She… found out…'
These were Sokzac's last thoughts as he looked into the depths of Lilith's cold black eyes.
...
"You knew."
Lilith stared at Dyon with an unconcealed sharpness in her eyes. Honestly, even Dyon felt uncomfortable meeting her gaze. Her comprehension of the sword path was simply too fierce.
Dyon had never really met a true swordsman in his life. There was Delia who practiced the sword, but after awaking her Constitution, her path deviated from it in part. It wasn't no longer the true swordsmanship Lilith practiced.
Ri also practiced the way of the sword back when she was a teenager. There was even the treasured sword her mother left behind for her that refused to change even in the face of a greater weapon. But, after her mother came back and Dyon used his array alchemy to change the sword into a beautiful belt piece for her, she hadn't spent much time practicing the sword after that either.
As for his mother-in-law herself, Dyon had never seen her battle, so he simply didn't know the depth of her comprehension.
Of course, Dyon had fought Diasho Ken. He could be considered a true swordsman. But, somehow, even though he was a sword sprite, Dyon felt that Lilith was on a completely different plane compared to him. She was the very best he had ever come across!
To have reached comprehended the Immortal Path Sword Dao as a Saint!... Maybe there wasn't another talent in existence on Lilith's level in the way of the sword.
There was a reason the sword was known as the King of Weapons. Even for Dyon's War God Avatar tribulation, the sword appeared very last. Dyon had a feeling he hadn't grasped even a single percent of what the Sword True Weapon will really was…
In terms of power, Lilith stood no chance against Dyon. But if they were comparing their comprehension in the way of the sword, Dyon would lose ten out of ten times.
"Of course I knew." Dyon said with a shrug. "Well, initially I didn't because my cultivation was sealed back then. But, by the time I started healing your soul back then, my soul had already unsealed itself. I noticed there was an odd energy surrounding you back then, but I didn't touch it."
After beheading Sokzac, Lilith had stormed her way to Soul Palace. She was actually the only one of the devil path geniuses who could do this, the others hadn't been given a Soul Tag and as such couldn't use the Mortal Alliance's teleportation arrays.
Currently, she was staring at Dyon with a furious expression as the Grand Hall. What made her angrier was the fact that Dyon wasn't only dressed lazily, but she was certain that this was a mere clone of his. As for what the real Dyon was doing, she could hazard multiple guesses.
Lilith's gaze flashed with rage. "Why the hell not?!"
Dyon chuckled inwardly. She knew that Lilith was only half angry because he didn't inform her, the other half of her anger was due to remembering the events of back then.
In order to force her into a state of such distraction that she wouldn't notice the existence of the Soul Tome, Dyon forced Lilith to get naked back then while he healed her soul. She had almost committed suicide as a result and would have succeeded had Dyon not stopped her.
It seemed she was still angry about this.
"Since I've already succeeded, I don't mind telling you." Dyon said with a shrug. "It would have been very easy for me to cure your soul of that affliction back then, but I didn't because having you in such a state was useful to me.
"Your Devil Quadrants have long since been my first target of conquering the outer quadrants. Your father might be powerful, but he is the most convenient to make use of. "
