Odd-Eyed Clan's Kings' Guards was a secret organization founded by the ancestors of Odd-Eyed Races. No one knows their faces, names, or even identities.
Their strengths are lower than the Great Elder Arum Jak, but their numbers made the battlefield even.
King's Guards were assigned to the prominent members of the Odd-Eyed Clan, ensuring their safety and following their orders. As the young leader of the Odd-Eyed Clan, Arum Kom obviously has the right to command them.
There are over ten King's Guards in the room at the moment. They wore tight black assassin suits with silver masks and hoods. Seven halos shone from each of the King's Guards, indicating them as Seventh Grade Star Cultivators.
Unfortunately for them, Sieg wasn't a weakling.
Sieg drew his sword out and slashed the nearest King's Guard.
Arum Jak couldn't see the fight clearly, but his sharp sense honed from countless battles could grasp Sieg's monstrously quick sword slash.
He gulped nervously, watching the cold-looking Pure Elf in horror.
In a fraction of a second, all the King's Guards sprawled on the floor with losing limbs. They coughed a mouthful of green blood, painting the floor and walls with them as they groaned in pain.
When Yunlong ordered Sieg to cripple these random individuals, the strongest homunculus followed without hesitation.
The once-fumed young leader of the Odd-Eyed Clan's eyes widened in shock. He trembled while cold sweats ran on his pale red skin.
"You're next." Sieg pointed his sword at Arum Kom.
"No, no! Don't kill me!"
Arum Kom was terrified. A puddle of liquid dirtied the floor, making others curse in disgust.
"Uh..." Ren Shuyi pinched her nose.
"What a pathetic sight."
Sieg didn't care about Arum Kom's pleas and slashed his sword, sending the young leader of the Odd-Eyed Clan to the wall and blasting it through.
There is also a deep cut on Arum Kom's chest from his left shoulder to his right thigh.
Sieg busted the energy pathways inside Arum Kom's body and severed vital muscle tissues, rendering the once-arrogant young master useless for the rest of his life.
BOOM!
The wall shattered as Arum Kom screamed in pain.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHH!"
The blood-curdling pain sent shivers down everyone's spine.
However, several figures immediately arrived at the courtyard where Arum Kom landed and questioned furiously, "Who dared to attack our Young Leader!"
These people are the Elders of the Odd-Eyed Clan.
Among them, even the Patriarch of the Odd-Eyed Clan, the father of Arum Kom, looked at his fainted son gravely. There is a strong killing intent from the Patriarch's third eye, but his demeanor is steady and calm as water.
The Patriarch of Odd-Eyed Clan is a tall, red-skinned man with thick black eyebrows and a mustache. He has a receding hairline, but his ears are longer than other Odd-Eyed Race, making him look more gallant than others.
He wore a deep blue robe with a black sash, complementing his slender yet toned build.
One might wonder how such a man fathered a useless fellow like Arum Kom. One is valiant, and the other is wimpy.
"Why were you attacking my son?" Arum Kai looked at Sieg vigilantly.
He wasn't dumb. A strong person and pure elven like Sieg wouldn't attack without reason. There must be a detrimental basis.
"He offended my lord," Sieg replied emotionlessly.
"I wish nothing but to wipe your son's pitiful life. However, my lord was too kind. He only ordered me to cripple him."
"What! You crippled him, and you said it was kind!" One elder lashed out in anger. He was fuming.
Sieg's cold face didn't change.
He lifted his sword and added, "I can kill your trash then?"
"I think it would be kinder for you..."
Everyone was speechless, especially the Odd-Eyed Clan's Elder.
Even the Odd-Eyed Clan's Patriarch couldn't help but use his third eye to see Sieg more clearly. He frowned and said, "What is this..."
'His body, why is there such a rich and boundless energy? It isn't the way of Star Cultivator!' Arum Kai's third eye trembled slightly.
The atmosphere becomes more tense as time passes.
The clock is ticking.
Noticing the Odd-Eyed Clan was about to strike irrecoverable disaster, the Great Elder Arum Jak stepped out and cleared his throat, "Patriarch, let me explain."
"Great Elder." Arum Kai nodded, signaling the other Elders to shut up.
Arum Jak opened his mouth and explained, "As a matter of fact, a young leader is really in the wrong here."
"Mad? Skeptical? Listen to my short story."
"One year ago, my grandson disappeared. He returned today with a group of saviors, and they are Pure Elvens!"
The elders were shocked as they finally noticed Sieg's appearance. Since he wore military outfits and not royal garb made of natural materials, Sieg also adorned a hood, making them fail to recognize his status.
"Pure Elves?"
"I thought they ceased to exist three years ago because their home planet was "thoroughly." destroyed by an unknown force."
"There are actually survivors..."
Arum Kai's expression darkened.
He knew his son's personality very well.
Arum Kom is the type of person who likes to cause trouble and abuse his authority.
"Continue..." Arum Kai said with a deep tone.
Arum Jak smiled weakly and added, "I was chatting with my grandson's benefactors when the young leader suddenly barged into the room and said some offensive things..."
"Oh, come on. Don't be shy, Great Elder." Yunlong suddenly walked out of the room and leaned on the destroyed wall. "Don't keep the suspense and repeat what your clan's young leader said."
"After that, we can speak about compensation to ease my irritation."
"And you are?" The Patriarch Arum Kai stared at Yunlong warily. He could feel something wrong from this Pure Elven.
"Yun Long," Yunlong answered casually. "The current leader of the Elven Race."
"Yun..." Everyone from the Odd-Eyed Clan froze on the spot.
They knew that 'Yun.' is the surname of Pure Elvens.
They didn't sense anything amiss in Yunlong's tone, so he was telling the truth.
Well, it was a concealed truth.
Yunlong separated his name into two parts.
And he technically didn't lie about being the leader of the Elven Race.
The Great Elder Arum Jak felt helpless in this situation.
On one side, he couldn't afford to offend Yunlong.
On the other hand, he couldn't watch his clan get shamed.
'Tsk, why did we have such a brainless fool to be our young leader.' Arum Jak was displeased. He cursed Arum Kom's existence so much.
After weighing the pros and cons, Arum Jak sighed, "Upon barging into the room, the young leader said these words..."
"He fancied one of the Pure Elvens, proposing a marriage to her immediately."
"Of course, it doesn't end there. The young leader caught other targets after having two more female pure elven on sight. He wanted them to be his concubines..."
"..." Arum Kai was quiet. The idiotic son dared to court three elves, who were on the verge of extinction when the current leader of the elven race was around.
He's asking for a beating!
Arum Jak shook his head, "If you think this was offensive already, then the next line of words will make us no different than enemies to the pure elven."
"The young leader said... He will do them a favor by rebuilding the Elven Race back to its former glory. Of course, they can only be the branch clan of our great Odd-Eyed Clan!" He added, mimicking Arum Kom's arrogant tone back then.
As if a basin of cold water hit their faces and brought them back to reality, the Patriarch and Elders looked down at the fainted Arum Kom.
"The conflict then grew as Pure Elven won't accept such insults. Then, the young leader ordered the King's Guards to kill Yun Long."
"YOU BASTARD OF A SON!" Arum Kai kicked the fainted Arum Kom on the stomach, waking him up.
"F-Father?" Arum Kom spewed out blood and weakly responded. He was confused. Why did his father beat him all of a sudden?
He was heavily injured earlier as he could still feel the pain all over his body. Now, the injuries become even worse.
'What a good father.' Yunlong chuckled inside.
Others might see this as the Patriarch showing his anger.
But by punishing his son personally, he could avoid others doing the same thing.
Yunlong maintained a calm look and said, "Well, let's talk about the compensation."
"I heard you guys have a key to enter Dream God Trials."
"I want it."
