Supreme Harem Hunter-Chapter 51 The Patriarchs Fear
The moment Odino said that the atmosphere seemed to freeze.
Vik asked worriedly. "What is more worse than the Demon Blight Sect?"
Vik couldn't think of anything that might be worse than getting past those bloodthirsty demons.
Odino didn't answer but instead looked into each of their eyes, creating a silence that made everyone nervous.
Eventually, Odino blurted out."Some clans have betrayed the sect and joined with the demons."
Odino was expecting a shocked reaction or something out of character from them, but what he saw was a strange silence. Except for Vik, everyone else was bowing their head down and was filled with terror.
'Oops,' Odino knew he did it too much. 'I forgot their absolute fear of betraying the sect.'
"Hey, hey, don't need to be scared too much. We only punish someone for whom we have evidence." Odino humbly told them.
But it still wasn't enough. Their faces still had fear written on them.
"Huh~" Odino sighed helplessly and then changed his tone. He looked down at them and said with a hoarse tone."If you act like that, then I have to assume that you have joined with the demons and were hiding till now."
Galibar and others quickly changed their expressions and returned to their formal selves.
"Haha, Elder Odino, how can we do that? We have sworn our loyalty from the start." Galibar laughed out loud.
Brustiar also agreed with Galibar. "We know those demons only know how to lie and deceive people. How can we shake hands with them?"
Julie just nodded along with their words.
Odino also smiled and then said."Okay, you guys go prepare your participants. I am coming in a while." 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
Galibar and others bowed and left the room.
Now, only Vik and Odino remained.
Vik looked at the smiling Odino and asked. "Elder Odino, they were acting very suspicious. Why didn't you do something about that?" 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m
Odino looked at Vik and then stood up. He didn't answer him right away, instead walked toward the door."Come, let's go to the stand."
Odino calmly explained to Vik after exiting the room."Vik, how long have you been staying in this town?"
Vik rubbed his chin and then answered. "Close to ten years, Elder Odino. But why are you asking that?"
"Then you do not know about the Light Yellow Forest's incident."
Vik raised his eyebrows and pondered for a little. "No, Elder, I seem to have heard about it. However, I don't quite remember it much as it was many years ago, and it was insignificant to me at that time."
"Haha, you were really a cute and hot-blooded youth at that time. The Fallen Genius, Vik." Odion smirked as he side glanced at Vik.
Vik became embarrassed as he rubbed the back of his head. "Elder Odino, please don't mention that out loud. It is a shame for me."
"It truly is." Odino also agreed with him as the memories of Vik's glorious past flashed before his eyes. The next moment, he tossed those away and resumed his explanation. "Anyway, about the Light Yellow Forest Incident."
"Ninety years ago, a destroyed clan came to this town with its remaining members. However, no one welcomed them, as their behavior and attitude were worse than the overlords of this town. At that time, Galibar and others were not the leaders of their group. They were like you, young geniuses trying to soar in the sky."
"That runaway clan decided to rule this town for themselves, and they had that confidence as they had many people at the Soul Formation Realm."
Hearing that realm made Vik's heart beat in excitement. A strong yearning could be seen in his eyes.
Odino's eyes flashed with sadness seeing Vik like that, but he returned to normal and continued his explanation. "They succeeded in conquering this town and made the other clans and family their slaves. They strongly abused them, and people in this town suffered."
"At that time, Highload town wasn't under the sect nor was it under anyone else. They did whatever they wanted; killing, torturing, raping, looting the list goes on."
"One day, the daughter of a core elder came here with her guards. She was a kind-hearted girl and couldn't see the suffering, so she went to warn that clan. But they turned her down, and... they did what they always do."
"They assaulted her," Vik answered on behalf of Odino.
"By the young masters. Huhh~ I still remember her as the top beauty and the one most sought after by the disciples. She was a precious jewel to her father. The Elder couldn't take such a thing when he heard the news about what had happened to her daughter. The moment he arrived, he was greeted with her dead body."
"The elder couldn't take it anymore and burst into their mansion, killing everyone in sight. They called out all of their Soul Formation Realm cultivators to kill him." Then a big grin appeared on Odino's face. "Oh the mistake, they didn't know the elder was at Half-Step Void Amalgamation Realm."
"The elder was kind at heart so he pulled the clan away from the ground and destroyed them in one go at the Light Yellow forest. The after-effects were so devastating that a giant pit was made that has turned into a pond lake now."
"Awesome." Vik was in awe of that elder's strength and a bit sad for him too, for what had happened to his daughter.
"Awesome indeed." Odino nodded his head. At that time, they were already in front of the door that led to the stand. He turned his head at Vik and said proudly."Luckily, I was his personal disciple at the time. So, I was able to witness all of that firsthand."
"Huh!?" Vik became stunned. He wanted to say something but saw that they were in front of everyone. So he held it back, in his heart. 'Elder Odino, I knew you were a big shot in your earlier days.'
