Hitatchi Tribe

They fought desperately against Dantes puppets but you could see the uncaring look in their eyes. They were protected by the aura of a peak Ancient and in their view, were invincible.

Since they were children they had heard tales and stories of the cemetery and how terrifying it is within it. However, that just made them more and more excited to adventure. After they all reached the Fairy State, they took the journey.

Originally they had a peaceful journey with their shield, saving them from any of the powerful auras. They even started to think that all the stories were overstated.

Soon they found the entrance to the Mausoleum, they thought it was a great chance of luck however they soon realised that the danger was true. As soon as they entered they fought with dozens of core building cultivators and soon faced these ten fairy state cultivators!

However with the green shield protecting them they were sure that they could retreat safely.

Suddenly they heard powerful footsteps echoing throughout the hall. Each step is like a drum beating in their hearts.

The fighting stopped in an instant as the dark revealed seven figures. One stood in the center dressed in a gray robe, his handsome face had floppy white hair falling onto it slightly covering his deep set eyes.

The surrounding six stood in equally gray robes covered in skulls. However each had a plain black mask covering their face. Naturally they were Dante V7 and his Puppets. He covered their faces to prevent their descendants from noticing their resurrection.

Dante V7 had been watching the disciples for a minute and could tell from their attack styles that they all came from their same sect. They used powerful light skills that radiated the entire room.

Dante V7 also noticed that the two women were also incredibly beautiful. One had flowing silver hair, slightly tanned perfect skin with no pores visible and defined features making her stand out among a crowd.

The other was less impressive, but her clean facial features and red hair gave her an irresistible charm.

Whether it was unconsciously or consciously all three men protected the women within an encirclement. Clearly they each had affection for the three women, I mean who wouldn't just based on their looks.

Well Dante V7 was one of those who wouldn't. He wasn't interested in the disciples. But he knew that they were good test subjects for Dante and even if they have thin blood they were still the relatives of an ancient.

So without any waiting Dante V7 sent four of the Ancients to defeat the disciples. Even if they have the protection of a peak Ancient, they are unable to stop the assault of four Ancients.

Soon all five were placed heavily on the ground, covered in dust. The women's plump chests squashed against the ground under the heavy pressure, making their faces red with shame as they felt the strange sensation.

But that didn't last long, Dante V7 himself took action as he placed his hand against each of the disciples' foreheads.

After making them each into puppets, Dante V7 finally learnt their backstory; they originated from the Angel Sect. It is an incredibly large sect comparable to the Antique families. The Angel Sect has millions of disciples, many of which are descendants of their powerful leaders.

Of course Dante V7 wasn't worried that these fives' disappearance would draw any trouble. They are just slightly talented outer sect disciples among the forces, and people would just contribute their disappearance to being injured within the cemetery.

Even if the force doesn't actually fear the cemetery, the dangerous reputation of the cemetery is spread throughout the Outer sect disciples.

As for the peak Ancient Aura surrounding the five, it actually came from the silver girl's master. She is only one of hundreds of disciples, however the master is quite diligent casting a shield of his full strength around them.

Of course Dante V7 wasn't worried about that, even if an Ancient is powerful in a force it isn't qualified to mobilise any Saints. And the minimum for easily exploring this battlefield is to be a saint.

So he wasn't worried that they would rush in. Following this, Dante V7 sent the five disciples to the location Dante specified.

Before all the puppets divided Dante produced a Fortress guarded by thousands of his puppets including dozens of Ancients. It was designed to be a depot location between all of the puppets.

Dante was sure that each of the Puppet Clones would have things they couldn't take with them, like these five disciples for example. The other puppet clones have also occasionally sent things there.

Like the Sword Master sends any puppets that don't practice the Sword Art, and they are then provided to different puppet clones for other uses.

After dealing with these Disciples, the Undead Lord returned to the coffin to continue his cultivation. This was just a little episode for him.

Meanwhile Dante had finally reached the desert. Although not his target city, he officially entered the desert. He headed down towards a small settlement in the outskirts of the city.

From his puppets research it was the Hitatchi Tribe, a small desert tribe who had lived here for generations.

Dante quickly landed and headed towards the tribe. Each set up teepees and had burning bonfires rotating various livestock.

Many tanned natives were scattered around the settlement dressed in various cloths and rough linoins. Their features were rough and their skin was dry clearly from the lack of water. But Dante noticed that many of their physical bodies were stronger than other mortals.

However their cultivation is low, almost abysmal. This was solely because the aura in the area is so low. One month of cultivation here is barely equal to a day outside of this desert.

Dante soon entered the settlement. He got curious looks constantly sent his way, as he went through towards the largest teepee. According to his interpretation it should belong to the chief of the village.

And as expected Dante pushed his way towards the patriarch's tent and emitted the aura of an Ancient. Immediately after a middle aged man pushed out and fell to his knees in front of Dante.
