Chapter 802 The Truth (1)
Although their planet was small, they didn't lack dao formation experts despite them being rare. Yet, none of them detected the vein. Even the elders of the Ahpuch and Viserion main clans who came to the Universe Tournament hadn't! Just what kind of existences could do what those monsters couldn't do in a mere instant?!
There were only two explanations… One was that their cultivations were much higher… Or… Their daos and comprehensions far exceeded that of theirs.
"But, there's something I still don't understand. If these experts are so unfathomable, why have they waited so long?" Amphorae's eyes narrowed.
"Because your husband's father is even more unfathomable!" When the words 'your husband' escaped her lips, Luna trembled imperceptibly, but she steeled herself. Since she had gotten herself into this situation, she would accept her fate.
Hearing this, Amphorae was sure if she should believe it or not. After spending her whole life in the clan, she wasn't sure how other experts stacked up to her Angel Clan. However, was it really possible for a King of such a small clan to be so powerful? And if he was so powerful, what about the other Angel Clan elders, were they as well?
Luna didn't need to look up to understand Amphorae's thoughts, "You look down on your Angel Clan too much. I don't know what happened in your past to cause you to decline to this extent, but there is no doubt that among humans, there is no more domineering bloodline than yours.
"Whether it's that man, or his father… They both have accomplished unfathomable things…"
"What happened?" Amphorae finally asked.
Luna took a deep breath. "After your husband placed first in the Universe Tournament and defeated Jabari, the Ahpuch were obviously unhappy and had thoughts of killing him. However, they were directly supressed by the Viserions who usually take opportunities where they have the moral high ground to dampen the Ahpuch family prestige and power. It's not that they're so good, but rather they're hypocritical bastards." Luna spat.
"After being surprised and having the situation explained to him, your King took responsibility very publicly, and my father had no choice but to smile and accept. However, in private, he tried to directly supress him. At the time, my father was already a dao formation expert and your husband was a mere lower saint, there was obviously no contest.
"My father proceeded to viciously beat him. The truth was that the simplest thing to do would have been to directly kill him, but my father wanted to humiliate him."
With her own anger clouding her judgement, Amphorae almost missed the rage in Luna's voice. 'She can't really care for my Dyon, can she?'
Luna sneered, "But, what that father of mine didn't know was who your husband was. If he had known, that spineless coward wouldn't have dared to raise a finger. Unfortunately, your King wasn't willing to divulge the name of your Angel Clan for fear of implicating them in his problems, so from begin to end, he used a fake name."
Tears fell from Luna's eyes, "If those men and women from that mysterious clan didn't come, he would have died that day."
Thinking back to Dyon's courage and conviction, Luna's heart began to swell with a deep disdain for herself. Why didn't she have such heart?
The truth of the matter was that Dyon didn't know how powerful his father was. He had spent his whole life believing that his Angel Clan was weak and it wasn't until he stepped out into the world that he realized his own strength was more than a few notches above those of his age group.
The reason he stepped outside of the clan to begin with was to temper himself and grow beyond himself. But, it turned out that he already stood at the top of their quadrant's younger generation, placing first despite being almost a Great Realm lower in cultivation.
Despite this, Dyon knew that their clan was just too small to weather the storm of the world. So, he kept his origins a secret, not knowing that his own father was a well-known monster.
If it hadn't been for those of the mysterious clan descending, Dyon would have died because if his father hadn't detected such a large fluctuation of high-level energy from those experts, he would have never come and seen his own son being beaten down like a dog!
The moment those experts stepped into their universe, Dyon's father sensed it and flashed toward his son, expecting to take him back to the clan for refuge before stepping out again. But, what he found completely enraged him beyond belief.
When Luna's father found out Dyon's identity, he stumbled and fell to his knees, begging profusely for forgiveness, even shamelessly using his position as Dyon's supposed "Father-in-law" to protect himself. Such a man was truly worse than a dog.
However, Dyon's father's personality was similar to his son. Although he was strict and disciplined, even willingly following authority when the situation dictated it, he was still arrogant to his bones!
Luna still remembered his words to this day. "Since she is my daughter-in-law, she has married into the Angel Clan! There is no other man beside my son who has to the right to have such strong ties to her! Since you dared to beat him down, you've slapped the face of your own daughter! You deserve death!"
It was only the second time in Luna's life that someone had acted for her own sake. Both of which somehow came from the very same family… The first was when Dyon threw his own wishes aside to take her as a wife and protect her reputation. And now, her future husband's father was also protecting her dignity. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the ties Luna had to the Angel Clan were far stronger than any connection she had ever had to the Moon Clan…
Despite his anger, since Dyon's father didn't know what Luna's wishes were, he only crippled King Moon's cultivation, leaving him slumped on the floor before attempting to take his son and Luna away. But, that was when the experts finally arrived. Because Dyon's father was delayed, he didn't get the chance to hide them away. A matter of a few seconds was the equivalent of hours to others in the face of these high-level cultivators!
When those cultivators saw Dyon's father, there was a mix of anger, respect and fear on their features. It was clear they knew of this man and didn't dare to take him lightly. However, before this, no one had ever known this cultivator to have any connections. To the world outside this quadrant, this man was an unfettered cultivator without woman, child or friend. And yet, they had stumbled onto such an interesting scene. Could it be they had found this mighty cultivator's home base?
The truth was that while the Moon, Viserion and Ahpuch clans were wary of Dyon's father, they knew little of what happened outside of their quadrant. So, they had no idea that Dyon's father was so famous elsewhere! If they had, how could they haven't taken advantage?
Because of how high level those cultivators were, it was easy to see the connection between the unconscious Dyon and this cultivator they had feared for so long. They were obviously father and son!
Seeing the beaten Dyon and the crippled King Moon, they put two and two together. It seemed they finally had the means of suppressing this man.
