122 Attacked!

However, Jodye knew that with his current strength, he was not a threat to White Serpent Cove. A lonely Joovee Nile was enough to end Jodye's life already if it hadn't been for Eureka. In fact, previously even an eighth level Vicious Red-Scaled Fire Lizard was enough to silence Jodye for good. However, now Jodye wasn't so confident that was the case. Now he had more strength and new powers.

Moments later, the entire Private Box Number 7 was staring at a projection of the huge egg made from Sigma's spiritual consciousness. The egg itself was already in a space bottle, a unique storage device that could hold weak lifeforms for a limited amount of time. This particular space bottle would preserve the egg for six weeks.

"A word, host." Trippy's emotionless voice rang out in Jodye's mind the moment this servant girl walked in the room with this space bottle. At Jodye's intention, it continued, "True Dragon blood has been detected in this egg. If the host were to consume the egg directly, the source dragon laws would promote your Volos bloodline by quite a bit."

"How much?" asked Jodye Trill, slightly tempted. He felt an uncontrollable desire to purify his divine dragon blood, it was a near-primal urge. Jodye frowned once he noticed this lack of composure.

"Currently you have a 30% primal dragon bloodline. Consuming this egg would increase this to 33%." Trippy sent this information over directly.

"Not bad but…pass. It's a gift" thought Jodye Trill as he cut off the communication with Trippy. Even though he knew that every percentage past 30% would be three times as hard to accumulate, he had already found a home for this creature. Ultimately, he was still a man and not a beast.

"Congrats, Bilan! I'm a little jealous," Jodye Trill joked with the giggling and bubbly Bilan Moon, but he wasn't really kidding. Jodye was actually jealous, as consuming this beast would make him stronger. He might even awaken a latent ability related to the Dracophant!

"Hehe, don't be jealous little Joe. You can play with my little Drake whenever you want," said Bilan Moon with a sweet smile. Jodye was dumbstruck when he realized Bilan had already named the beast before it was even born.

"Ah, since it's already such a good mood I also have a gift for you, dear niece," Grey Willow smiled mischievously as she withdrew and fruit box from the spatial dimension in her magic pouch, which Jodye felt looked like a purse from his old world. In fact, it was definitely a purse no matter how he looked at it. It seems Bilan was not exaggerating previously.

"This…aunt…uh…" Bilan Moon genuinely didn't know what to say. After all, she could already imagine what was in here. It was the Dark Jumble Fruit. "There's something I need to tell you, aunt Blu."

"My goodness, so the Dark Jumble Fruit was truly for you! Your a lucky, lucky girl." Aunt Miran interjected in their conversation while caressing the soft fruit box. When she saw Grey Willow's suspicious gaze, she waved a nonchalant hand, "Fine, the girl simply wanted to tell you it was this little noble Trill that was selling the fruit. He even offered to gift one to Bilan, but she gave it to her dear aunt instead."

Bilan had black lines on her forehead, but she didn't respond when she saw her martial-aunt on the verge of explosion.

"WHAT?!"

With the Dracophant Egg landing in Bilan Moon's possession, by way of Sigma Octanis, the curtains were finally closed on the Purple-Sky Secret Fair. To be safe, Grey Willow held on to the space bottle containing the ancient beast egg. As the party of six made their way out of the Purple-Sky Tower, their companions across town were facing an impending crisis.

"This is the place, right? The place where Heavenly Dog's two apprentices are? We'll capture them first, and then have some fun with them later," a dark-haired man wearing white serpent robes stood of the rooftop across from the Silver Meadow Inn. "Do not kill them. Otherwise, we lose our leverage. However, be sure to kill anyone who stands in our way."

"Yes!" dozens of warriors shouted in unison, releasing the pressure that alerted everyone in the area.

Back at the suite in the Silver Meadow Inn, Cassan's closed eyes suddenly snapped open as he vanished from his seat in a flash of blue light. In the next room, Aiken Moon and Dessa Chimes were in the middle of cultivation training as they sat back to back in lotus style. Aiken was depressed to find that Dessa had grown quite taller than himself in the last couple of days, and she seemed more mature as well. He barely recognized his sweet little Dessa anymore. This woman looked fiercer than ever, like a caged animal. Her speech was more aggressive as well.

However, as Aiken was ruminating over his misfortune, the sword glyph on Dessa's hand released a piercing light, demanding her pure essence. Dessa was startled, but she allowed the treasure sword to use her power freely. Autumn Saver's voice echoed in her heart, "You are in danger! When you see the old man block the deathly palm, grab the boy and immediately rise to arms. You are going to have to fight your way out and you are going to have to do so with using me. Luckily many of these acolytes and experts are what we can handle. Return to your young lord master immediately, it's probable that his location will be the safest."

As soon as Autumn Saver's voice faded there was an enormous 'KABOOM' as the side of the Inn was blasted to pieces by a giant black palm that threatened to squish the two youths into a paste.

"Dess, get down!" Aiken Moon summoned all of his strength to tackle the immobile Dessa, but he couldn't really budge her much. She was far to sturdy, and now Aiken feared he would be forced to die with her. As he sensed the outrageously powerful death energy dropping down towards them, Aiken despaired. He didn't notice that Dessa wasn't even nervous. "Dessa Chimes I am honored to know a woman like you in this life. Only if we meet in the next life, I just hope you can remember my words… I love you!"

"Eh?!" Aiken Moon's declaration temporarily short-circuited Dessa's brain. What was this little dummy thinking of at a time like this?

"Back!"

Boom!

Cassan's voice was accompanied by an explosion of deadly forces. Noticing that this was the moment she had been forewarned about, Dessa grabbed Aiken Moon and spoke resolutely, "Let's go!"

"Wha..wah!" before Aiken was able to express his confusion, Dessa pulled him by the arm and bust out the room with a flying kick to the door right as the shockwaves of battle shattered the furniture of the room they were previously in. The door blasted off its hinges accurately smashing in the faces of two new intruders. Light flashed and a C-grade combat saber, the Urban Death Saber, appeared in Dessa's hand as she stabbed out with pure essence qi surrounded by a yellow aura.

Puchi.

"Uargh!"

Aiken's eyes widened in shock as Dessa impales the neck of an attacking saint before twisting her wrist to remove her opponent has. Next, she moved on to attack more invading warriors.

Seeing this, Aiken Moon's hand immediately fell to the magic pouch on his hip, and seconds later he was equipped with two D-grade combat daggers. He grit his teeth and released a golden atmosphere as he jumped into the fray next to Dessa.

"Dess, target the Sages in the back! If we let them finished those curses we may not live to talk about it!" Aiken Moon cautioned the inexperienced Dessa. As the scion of a noble sage house, Aiken had his own pool of knowledge that was spoon-fed to him by his House's elders since birth.

"Got it!" Dessa Chimes instantly changed her directive, side-stepping the sword of a Fledgling Saint and bolting straight to the two Sage Scholars behind him. Aiken Moon took advantage of the moment this goon was off guard to bury his daggers into the opponent's heart.

"Brutal Fang!" Aiken Moon shouted as his opponent was blasted away like a bloody arrow. This was a battle skill taught to him by his master, it came in handy.

Meanwhile, Dessa Chimes was ducked low making a beeline for the two golden auras in the back. They both had their source artifacts' defensive barriers active, and their eyes were closed as they focused on forming curse seals, which were slowly condensing into arcane circles within their gold atmosphere. Autumn Saver had already told her that these two were only at the Perfected Sophomore rank of the Scholar Realm. According to the treasure spirit, Sages at this rank could already form one-star and even two-star arcane arts. If she let them cast such a curse, then she and Aiken would be doomed for sure.

Typically, Perfected Sophmore Rank Sages possessed a base battle power of around 21 BP. This was two points lower than the current Dessa Chimes who owned true essence worth 23 BP. With the addition of her advanced nascent level pure qi concept, Dessa's combat saber had the force of 48 BP, which was boosted to more than 56 BP by the array in the combat gear. Thanks to this, Dessa was able to immediately fall into a beautiful dance with her combat saber. She was exotic and graceful as she leaped forward. Her sword danced as she flipped in the air and lightly landed on the ground behind the two Scholar Realm sages.

Dance of the Autumn Leaves, first step!

Dessa's rapid and graceful movements were too fast for the two sages to react to at all. Their source barriers were quickly shattered like glass, and their throats, wrists, and ankles were all slit. Azure world pure essence qi ravaged the interior of their bodies like a raging fire. Both sages collapsed lifelessly, and Aiken Moon was speechless. Dessa sped off again and Aiken Moon stayed close behind her. However, dozens of meters in front of them glaring purple lights flashed and low-level fiends started climbing out of several purple arcane circles suspended in the air, each one above two or three sages who joined forces to complete the spell more quickly after seing their companions slaughtered.

"This…is bad…" Dessa Chimes' heart grew cold when she saw the lewd bodies of those Bully fiends once again.While she was dazed, a male Bully Fiend swung down full force with his colossal club aiming to kill her.

"Brutal Fang!" A bright light flashed, and Dessa only saw Aiken Moon impaling a combat dagger covered in yin frost in each eye that Bully Fiend, whose body was slowly encased in blue ice before shattering completely. Dessa was shocked entirely because just now Aiken's golden priest atmosphere was more powerful than her own.

What was the powerful cold qi he was using?

At this moment, Cassan was just about to tell the brats to escape, when he noticed they were already doing so with his spiritual sense. Looking at the hole in the building, Cassan frowned and called out, "Since you've already arrived, why not show yourself?"

"Hahaha, they said that an old mutt was playing guard dog back by the Heavenly Dog's room," a warrior wearing dark gray combat armor and surrounded in a saintly aura slowly descended from the sky. "Who would've expected you, this old dog, to be so capable."

If Jodye were here, he would realize that this man looked at least 60% similar to Hemp and Vik Saver.

"Honored Elder Eddie Saver," Cassan grimaced as he looked at his new opponent, "Has White Serpent Cove abandoned our cooperation already?"

"You should know very well what my presence means," Eddie Saver raised his arm, and black and red qi light spiraled and twisted in the air to condense a long spear. This was Eddie Saver's Heavenly Mantle. Once Saint class experts reached the Heaven's Master Realm, they would be able to condense a unique weapon directly from their essence qi. Eddie's eyes turned incomparably cold as he snorted, "It means your death!"
