Lilias's face turned red at his words and she stopped speaking for a few seconds, her heart beating at a crazy pace. As she was about to reply to him, the space in front of them suddenly tore apart, and an old man with a big white beard and an almost bald hand came out of another side. He had an angry expression on his face and there was a small golden axe in his right hand.
Looking at Rowen and Lilias in front of him, he gritted his teeth. "Are you the one that placed my WheatHollow sect into the ruins, you even dared to kill my descendants! Prepare yourself, as it will be your last day today!" The old man yelled even with his shaky appearances and finally stepped a foot in the lower space and just as he did so the power and valour he was exhibiting on the other side diminished just as he came to the lower plane. That was because of the planer suppression effect. The same thing happened to Ampone, no matter how hard she trained the planer laws suppressed her power.
Lilias looked at the old man with an unfazed expression, in the past four years she has seen many powerful monsters. More powerful than she could imagine, some of them were even God-like omnipotent creatures for her. And she has escaped many of them and that was the reason why she raised her cultivation so fast despite her lacking bloodline. And in front of the Eldrich Guardian, this old man was like a matchstick in front of the burning sun.
She was not the least bit nervous about him. The old man also looked at Rowen and then his eyes landed on Lilias and looking at her aura, sweat formed on his forehead. Rowen also noticed the nervousness of the old man and turned his head a little to look at Lilias and only then he noticed the red aura surrounding her.
It was like she was in the middle of a red burning flame. The aura around her flowing as smooth as silk. Her eyes stared at the old man, making his knees weak. The Ascender from the wheat hollow sect, on which this sect ruled these lands for thousands of years was now shaking in fear in front of Lilias.
"You! Demonic creature, who are you?! Why are you in this lower plane, killing weak people, when you clearly belong to the higher plane! You are breaking the planer laws and golden gods would not be happy with that. They will come and hunt you down!" The old man said and took out a glass ball in which blue lightning was circling. "Today I am letting you off, but if you continue like this, then I will come back with a golden God!" He said and was about to crush the crystal ball when suddenly the ball disappeared from his hand.
"Where do you think you were going?" Lilias still standing at her original place, looked at the crystal ball in her hands with curious eyes.
Rowen looked at Lilias and a smile formed on his face, 'She is more powerful than I expected,' he thought. "Did I permitted you to speak?" Rowen spoke and moved a step ahead.
The old man looked at his crystal ball in Lilias's hand and gulped his saliva, his eyes widened even more in terror as he took a step back, the planer rift that he cut through with his axe was already healed and to cut another one he would need at least five minutes, he was sure that in that time this devil women would kill him.
"What are you? How can you be so powerful even with the planetary laws binding you? It's impossible." The old man couldn't believe what he was seeing.
Lilias raised her eyes and looked at him, "Didn't you listen to what my husband said?" Anger flickering in her eyes. How dare this guy ignore Rowen.
"What?" The old man blurted out, and then regret covered his face. It was only then he spotted extreme anger in her eyes.
"He asked, who permitted you to speak?"
Rowen nodded at Lilias with a satisfied smile. Although he didn't like people belittling him, he wanted to see Lilias's angry form. If it was any other day, he would have cut the old man's balls and made him swallow them. However, he wanted to enjoy a good show today.
"Permission..." The old man wanted to speak more, however, suddenly he found out that he couldn't anymore and he got confused. He then looked at the Demonic Lady in front of him a cold shiver ran past his nerves. He could spot his tongue in her hand, she was holding it like a dead leach.
It was only then, he felt his mouth flooded with warm blood, so much so that it even started flowing out of his nostrils. His eyes started turning blurry and he couldn't seem to stand on his own feet.
Rowen looked at them and was surprised at Lilias's speed, she was fast, even he couldn't see her at all. It was like she didn't even move from her spot. He could tell that his mother has surpassed both Felicia and Ampone in term of cultivation.
"What do you reckon, I should do with him?" Lilias looked at Rowen as she kept the crystal ball in her space ring.
"Do whatever you want, after all, that is what you were doing for these past four years."
Lilias's eyes narrowed as she could tell that Rowen was neither joking nor taunting her. He was truly angry at her that she placed her life at risk.
"I did not take that many risks."
Rowen smiled at her words, he was provoking her, because he wanted to see her full power, he wanted to know what Ia was talking about when she said that Lilias has changed. He wanted to see the change. He was already over the fact that she risked her life, currently, he was more interested in her powers.
"It's not about risk, it's about you not listening to me. You even denied the punishment I gave."
Lilias took in a deep breath, her mind started to go blank, she could somehow feel disappointment coming from Rowen, it was like he didn't want her anymore. Previously when she told him about the risk she took, he didn't get disappointed, however, now after she cut out this man's tongue, she felt something off with Rowen.
"Dear, what is happening? Why are you acting so strange, suddenly?" She took a step forward, however, with her forward step Rowen took one back.
"Don't come close to me. You can leave me now, as you have started doing whatever you want, I think it's time for you to go and train alone like Blair."
Lilias narrowed her eyes and silently looked at Rowen for a few seconds. "Why are you provoking me?" A smile formed on her face.
Listening to her Rowen raised his brows, he remembered that he was able to successfully fool Felicia's old man when he was very weak than him. However, now Lilias has seemed to see through him. 'How powerful is she?' He was unable to fathom her cultivation and what kind of dangers she had gotten herself into.
Rowen smiled too and turned to look at the old man. "Kill him."
Just as his words finished suddenly a head appeared in Lilias's right hand. It was like magic, Rowen can't spot her moments even when he tried to focus his best. Even her auras were not fluctuating.
'I still have my newfound techniques to study, maybe after I get them, I will see through her.' As he has advanced from Martial Formation to Heretic Realm, he had got three more demonic techniques. Currently, they are in the back of his head, as he wanted to study them when he is free.
"Why didn't you use his emotions to power up?" Lilias came near him, she didn't ask much about his previous provocations. She thought that Rowen was teasing her. And even if he was testing her, she was ok with it.
"I don't need it anymore, he is just too useless now." As he said, he turned his head around and along with him, Lilias did the same, both of them noticed a Black-Robed man, tied in steel chains and blue bugs surrounding him, flying towards them with two beautiful ladies beside him.
They were Felicia and Ampone. They have caught the Ascender of the Rubloa sect and brought him back to Rowen.
Felicia and Ampone noticed Lilias and bowed towards her, Felicia's eyes flickered as she noticed her cultivation, she was shocked, she could feel her bugs reacting to her power, they were scared of her. In these last four years, she has never seen her bugs getting scared of someone. They were legendary creatures after all.
Ampone on the other hand also noticed Lilias's cultivation, however, she was not as shocked as Felicia, because she knew that Lilias is Rowen's Love and she couldn't be any less talented than any of them.
Felicia moved close to Lilias, and the more she did the more nervous she felt, she awkwardly looked at Rowen. "Master, something is not right about the mistress."
Lilias looked at Felicia with her eyes narrowed. A slight smile crept up on her face. "What is wrong?"
