Chapter 391 Meeting an elder from the sect

Chapter 391 Meeting an elder from the sect
Lith was walking through Redstone City casually and he noticed that there were a lot of weak creatures who came to claim that he had intruded their boss's territory.
As he walked, he was moving closer towards the main war zone and he could already hear faint noises of explosions and people battling coming from there.
As he continued to walk…
"Halt!"
"Tsk. Again?" Lith clicked his tongue in annoyance as he heard that. This was like the 9th time that he was stopped like this now.
Lith turned around and was about to attack immediately when he saw that this time, it wasn't some weak flee but probably their boss or something.
The person in front of Lith was a tall burly man having the face of a red bull with black horns. He had a big metal nose ring attached to him and was angrily looking at Lith.
"Are you the one to have slaughtered my brethren?" The bull-man asked.
Lith assessed the guy for a bit and didn't say anything in return to him. He noticed that the guy was probably a Half Saint Rank and he should be from one of the subsidiary races of the beastkins present in the Elven Continent.
Lith shook his head and continued to walk in his own path towards the main war zone, ignoring the bull. He didn't have time to waste on such useless people.
"HUNNRRGHH! YOU DARE TO IGNORE ME!?" The bull-man bellowed and charged towards Lith angrily.
The ground cracked as he moved with force and made his way towards Lith.
Lith sighed again. 'Simply walking in a Conflict zone is this troublesome?'
Lith then sensed the guy to have closed in on him and to counter his attack, he turned around and sent a thunderous punch to the guy's face.
The bull-man was sent flying with his face caving inwards and his eyes, lips, and nose being broken to the greatest degree and he crashed onto the ground after flying for a while.
The bull-man lay limp on the floor, unconscious, and showing no signs of getting up any sooner.
He took all of this damage just because of not analyzing the person in front and underestimating the prowess of Lith.
Lith ignored the guy after sending him away and continued to walk towards the war zone.
While he did that, a few thousand meters from him…
"Phew… Thankfully, I decided to just watch and not clash with him." A pale looking black-haired guy said in relief as he watched Lith thrash a Half Saint Rank without even shedding a single drop of sweat.
The guy continued to follow Lith and he noticed that Lith didn't even need to put any effort to beat Rank 9s or Half Saint Ranks. He then decided to see who Lith exactly was and he analyzed everything about him.
From Lith's hair, to his eyes, his skin, and his movements and clothing, the man observed everything and made an analysis. He soon realized…
"Wait… there's no other noble vampire with such features and there's no one who looks even remotely similar. Just who exactly is this guy?" The man thought to himself.
He soon started racking his brain and made points connecting each other to see who Lith was.
Lith definitely didn't seem ordinary, but the man wasn't able to connect him with any noble clans. The reason being, firstly, Lith's clothes were just some simple formal ones which could be found anywhere and secondly, his looks didn't match with any noble vampire clan and this only meant that he was either a strong commoner vampire or someone who was using a disguise.
But then the man thought out loud, "No… that guy definitely isn't some commoner vampire. Commoners don't have silver hair or purple eyes and not only that but…"
"Hmm… wait a second… that guy, he's too calm and his eyes…" the man suddenly realized something.
"His eyes… there doesn't appear to be any form… no… not even a slight tinge of bloodlust in it. Did he drink someone's blood to satisfy it or does he have the ability to control it?"
The man then made out that having the ability to control bloodlust wasn't something even Viscount Vampire Clans could do and then assumed that Lith probably may have had some blood before coming.
He continued to follow Lith and it had been a few hours since he did that.
Lith defeated many people easily without even doing anything and despite being a few hours, there didn't seem to be any bloodlust present in his eyes.
The man stopped in his tracks and once again went into deep thoughts about this.
"Just… who exactly is this? I used artifacts to see if he was wearing a disguise and the result came out as negative. But if that's the case, then he probably isn't some commoner vampire. But the question lies… which noble lineage does he belong to? There's no clan having silver hair and purple eyes both as their featu– wait…"
The man soon realized something. Just as he did that, his whole body shivered and he said shivering and in a terrified tone:
"D-does that mean… h-he… he's from the R-Royal C-Clan!?"
There were rumours in the vampire society that the members of the Royal Clan looked exceptionally beautiful and out of this world. There were also some that said they had silver hair, some that said, blue hair, and some that said red hair.
But most of the time, the people associated silver hair and purple eyes as the features of the Royal Clan and nobody spoke anything to disagree or agree on this, the people just assumed this.
There were no other clans who had both this feature and the man also noticed that Lith, who was walking, was also exceptionally handsome and appeared to have out of this world charm and figure.
The man's whole body shivered intensely as he realized that he may be following a member of the Royal Clan all this while. What terrified him even further was the fact that there were probably people present around Lith, if he were really from the Royal Clan.
.
"But… if there are guards around him, why haven't I been assassinated yet?" The man wondered. "Could it be that the guards thought that I am not even worthy to spare a glance? Could be… I am just a Lord of a small place and not even known to any other vampire noble. Hmm… if that's really the case and he really is someone from the Royal Clan, I must take a picture of it and spread it in the underworld."
"The ones who want to take revenge on the Royal Clan will know who to look for and I can easily make tons of money from this. Amazing!"
"I've never liked those royalties. It would be best if this guy gets assassinated. Kekeke… it'll be really fun to see some chaos in the society. Afterall, it has been dormant and peaceful for quite a while since the Queen took the throne."
Snap!
The man took a picture of Lith. He had a good quality spy camera and Lith's body, his face, his eyes, everything was captured by him in great detail.
"I should run before the guards notice something wrong." The man ran away while thinking out loud about this.
Lith was completely oblivious to everything that had just happened behind his back. He wasn't really worried about anything, but he was kind of annoyed to constantly clash with the small fries that were coming at him.
Lith decided to go to the Shadow River Sect and stop strolling around. He would look through their place and see what was happening in the main war zone. They definitely had the equipment to monitor the entire city.
Lith walked and reached the boundary from where the Shadow River Sect's territory was. He entered inside it as if it was not a problem and continued to walk towards the gate.
Just as Lith took a step in and walked, there was a werewolf rushing towards the inside of the territory as well, a few hundred meters from Lith.
Lith noticed that and looked at him while moving towards the gate.
Just as the werewolf took a step inside the territory…
Boom!
His body burst apart and a small explosion occurred. It was as if the guy had stepped on a landmine.
Lith stopped in his tracks as he noticed this. He wondered if there were landmines or something present and he had to be on a lookout for it or something while going towards the gate.
While he thought about things, an old figure in red robes of the sect flew towards Lith and stopped as he reached close to him.
The old man kept his distance from Lith and looking at him, he asked politely, "May I ask who this gentleman here is? This is the territory of the Shadow River Sect and we are currently in a war."
He was an elder of the sect and he was told to meet Lith. The sect had been monitoring Lith's movement and they were sure that he was some big shot. They didn't want to offend him and sent an elder to talk with Lith.
Lith pointed towards himself and asked, "You're talking to me?"
There could be people hidden in shadows somewhere and so, Lith asked to clear his doubt if it was really him or someone in the shadows that the old man was talking to you.
The old man nodded. "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"You don't know? I am Ray." Lith shortly introduced himself.
"This gentleman… you must surely be joking…" the old man couldn't believe it was Ray.
Wasn't Ray, the assassin, someone young looking? The assassin appeared like someone in their early teens, how can he be so handsome and appear to have a god-like figure?
And from what the elder knew, wasn't the assassin short? Around 160cm something? The man in front was clearly taller as well.
Lith didn't argue with the old man and he took out a black token from his ring and tossed it towards the man.
"Here. Have a look at this. This was given to me by the two Sect Masters."
The old man caught it and as he inspected it, his body trembled and he said stuttering:
"Y-you… a-are you r-really Ray!?"
The old man was dumbfounded when he realized that it indeed belonged to the sect. But he still couldn't believe that the young assassin had become such a fine man and he refused to believe that it was the case.
The young assassin appeared really cute and someone who must be pampered. But the man in front, he appeared someone so divine that his charisma alone made him appear as someone who mustn't be approached or talked to. The old man felt really inferior when he was in front of Lith but he hid that feeling and talked to him.
Now that Lith said that he was really Ray, the old man was genuinely shocked and dumbfounded and asked for confirmation again.
"I am. Take me inside, will you?" Lith said calmly. He knew that it must be due to his appearance that the old man wasn't able to recognize him and so, he didn't get annoyed by the man's repeated questioning.
"Y-yes. Right. This way, please." The old man said respectfully and even more politely than before and took Lith to the Shadow River Sect.
