"What!? How is this even possible!? A no-named rat killed over fifteen of our Origin Realm cultivators!? Ridiculous!"

In a small, luxurious tent. A young man screamed and banged his fists on the table in front of him, breaking it into pieces.

His handsome face was twisted into a snarl. In front of him sat a middle-aged man. Both had a symbol of the sun on their foreheads. Clearly, from House Yaksha.

"..Even the Spirit Realm cultivator and the Vital Core Realm cultivators are dead, too. And when we went over there to investigate… I-it was a pure nightmare. In my whole life, I hadn't seen such a scene ever! T-Thousands upon thousands of bodies were piled up high on the ground. Not only us, the Gandhravas and the Rudhras had suffered losses too. There were bodies of the Demonic cultivators of Yvaris, piled high in a row of mountains!" The middle-aged man spoke a long sentence, briefly explaining what had happened.

Although they could afford a few losses of Spirit Realm cultivators and Vital Core Realm cultivators, the Origin Realm cultivators were a whole other matter.

Even a single one of them makes up to a thousand Spirit Realm cultivators! And they lost close to fifteen of them in a single fight!

"How did they lose so many!? Was that bastard hiding his strength, or was someone secretly supporting him? Heck, even if someone does help him, how did he survive and manage to beat almost a fucking hundred Origin Realm cultivators!!!?" The young man began pulling his hair, frustratingly!

He couldn't understand and was desperately trying to understand what the fuck had happened.

"Young master, calm down. Among the bodies that lay on the ground…there wasn't a single Origin Realm cultivator's body; it seems he had used some other sorcery to lure away the Origin Realm cultivators," The middle-aged man hypothesized, but he was still confused. What could be so valuable that it could have so many strong cultivators at once? There were way too many mysteries involved here.

"So, what do you suggest we do now?" The young man asked, leaning back on his chair and massaging his temples.

"Young master, even though we have lost so many of our cultivators…it's still not enough to shake out the House. Although we do have fewer Origin Realm cultivators…so do the Rudhras and the Gandharvas." The middle-aged man smirked, his eyes radiating a cunning intent.

"What do you mean by that?" The young man asked curiously, while inwardly cursing this bastard. He talks in way too many circles.

"Master, it's a golden opportunity for us to attack the Gandharvas right now! They are probably the weakest now. If we attack them, we will definitely succeed in defeating them!" The middle-aged man spoke excitedly. But when the young man heard his words, his eyes twitched.

"Then what? Wait for other Houses to attack our weakened house? Are you going senile year after year? Not to mention there's still the matter of Inheritance and the issue of that bastard!"

The middle-aged man instantly closed his mouth when he heard those words. Narrow-minded…severely narrow-minded!

"So, what do we do now, young master?"

"Sigh…send a message to each and every House leader, ask them for a meeting, and if they say yes, arrange the timing. Now go, leave me alone for a while." The young man waved his hands and dismissed him.

Looking at the crimson sky, he suddenly felt an ominous feeling rise in his chest.

"...I hope it is because I hadn't seen the sun during these days."

The conditions were almost similar in other Houses too, with the Gandharvas having it the most severe. Make no mistake, they were as strong as the other Houses and stood on equal footing among them, but in case of offensive and killer arts? They were a bit lacking, but their soul capabilities were unmatched.

The Rudhras, too, were panicked and having an emergency meeting. Their leader couldn't believe what had just transpired; it was surreal to think that their proud warriors were wiped out overnight!

With these three Houses in constant pressure and tension, the other two Houses were basically thriving.

House Elyra and House Apsaras now had the upper hand in the game, with all their Origin Realm and Spirit Realm cultivators alive and kicking.

The House Apsara cultivators were masters of Mana manipulation and purity; they were basically the ultimate controllers. Their brains function similarly to modern engineers.

Which was, 'Lowest possible energy input, highest possible efficient output'.

It was similar to creating a sword, pouring the least amount of Iron and getting a sword stronger than the said Iron sword.

It was borderline insane and almost impossible to achieve. That's why they are called the masters of Mana. Also, they have a special bloodline. Not all, but only the pure-blooded ones. The Celestial Mana that enters their body and gets purified into an even higher quality of Mana! They were truly a bunch of strange beings.

And lastly, House Elyra. Also known as beings of Light or children of Light, their bloodline bears the symbol of light itself!

They can wield the Light element similarly to their own body extension. Light, being one of the strongest and most malleable elements, provides some truly miraculous effects.

Their forces, similar to the House Apsaras, hadn't taken any major damage. The strongest cultivators had gathered for a meeting to discuss recent affairs. The main topic is about Rahu and his power. Some debated that it was a false narrative to lead them into a trap, while some were cautious. But when their expert cultivators made a trip to the battlefield to see the results. The word shocked, wasn't enough to describe their emotions.

They went from surprised to shocked, and finally, shock gave way to joy. They were overjoyed that three of the Houses had suffered such massive damage. They were basically gloating, some even suggested war! The top cultivators quickly gathered and began a debate about the next course of action. In conclusion, the name Rahu had spread far and wide!
