Seeing that the top three were in agreement with Young Master Shirong, some of the other ns started to speak up as well. Out of the seventeen remaining Powers in the hall, seven were clearly in Shirong''s favor and were willing to let go of the sacrifice that was made.


    Of the remaining ten, four were in clear disagreement with Shirong''s words and four were neutral. The final two were in the middle, but it seemed like all they wanted was to getpensated and were not fully displeased with Young master Shirong.


    Shirong cupped his hands again and spoke, "Please, go ahead and ask me whatever you''d like gentlemen."


    "Young Master Shirong, we heard that a beast attacked you. While we heard the ount from the guards, I still want to hear your firsthand experience." Spoke one of the two n heads that were displeased with Shirong.


    He recognized this man to be the n head of the Ping n. Shirong pretended to think for a few seconds before answering.


    "The beast that we encountered was nothing I''ve ever seen or heard of before. I could not sense its cultivation base and neither could see its true appearance as it was hidden behind a veil of some kind that distorted its form. It was about the size of an elephant and was quite fast as well.


    It didn''t even take five minutes to wipe out half of our party. We had to use everything in our reseal to escape it. But even then, our misfortune didn''t end. We all were greatly mistaken about the corrosiveness of the environment of the forbidden zone. In the end, only me, Ye Dai and Bei Wen were left alive.


    The more we got towards the center, the stronger the corrosiveness of the invisible fumes and toxins got. When we were near the crater the deterioration of the defensive talismans was nearly a hundred times as strong as it was at the edge of the forbidden zone. When we were near the crater, the beast stopped chasing us as it seemed like even it did not dare to get closer to the center.


    Our defensive talismans were depleting at an rming rate of one per minute. We knew that we could not escape from the other side of the crater as the beast could very easily circle around and catch up to us, after all the circr area that the beast was reluctant to enter was of only about a hundred meters.


    Seeing that we had no other choice, I used a trump card that my n had given me to use in case of dire emergencies." Shirong exined and took a pause.


    He then withdrew the Peak grade teleporting talisman that he had shown the guards before.


    <em>~Gasp~</em>


    Everyone in the room hissed with shock. While they had heard that Young Master had used a Peak Grade teleportation formation, they thought that there was a chance the guards were mistaken. But now they saw it with their own two eyes and even sensed the faint spatial fluctuations from it, they had no chance but to believe it.


    Seeing this, the parties which were neutral till now were fully convinced and the two ns that merely wantedpensation were now rethinking about their aim. They were assessing whether it was worth to potentially offend the young Master of a n that could give him a peak grade teleportation formation as a trump card.


    A few secondster they shook their heads and gave up on it. They knew that it was a guarantee that they would bepensated by Young Master Shirong, but what will be its after-effects? To them, it was simply more beneficial to have him in their favor.


    "We agree with Young Master Shirong as well now." The two small n heads dered their stance.


    Now the only ones that were remaining were the two merchants and the other two small n heads.


    "Young Master Shirong while your word seem convincing, I still have some doubts about their authenticity." Spoke the n head whose heir had died.


    Shirong recognized him to be the head of Beo n. The heir that belonged to their n was none other than the weakest member of the excursion party, the guy with the early stage core condensation realm cultivation base.


    "And why is that n head Beo?" Shirong asked in an amicable tone.


    "You see," n Head Beo said and withdrew something from his pocket. "This is the soul light bead that belonged to my son. I believe n head Lu can see when its brightness died down."


    Clean Head Lu closed his eyes for a moment and used his spirit sense to check the soul light bead. A momentter he opened his eyes and a frown appeared on his face.


    "Seems like n head Lu understood. The timeline does not match. If it was really as Young Master Shirong said it was then, why did the light of the bead go offter than it should have? This only means that my son died muchter than you are iming." n Head Beo uttered with an using tone.


    Shirong did not show any change in his expression, but inwardly he was surprised as well.


    ''How the hell did a small n like them get a soul light bead?'' Shirong thought.


    Soul light beasts were a type of mid grade spirit tools whose sole function was to know when or if a person who had used the soul light bead died. The soul light bead would glow till the person was alive and would then go out if they died and would also record when they died.


    "n head Beo I''m extremely sorry, but it seems like I lost a great opportunity to save young Master Beo," Shirong said in a sad tone. "Perhaps, young master Beo suffered great injuries but was still able to survive the initial attack."


    The people watched Shirong say this and felt a bit shocked while n Head Beo was gritting his teeth.


    "But fear not, Young master Beo is also the one who will bring everyone justice. You see, during the initial ambush we were able to exchange a few blows with the beast and during this, the beast got a little injury. This was caused by none other than young master Beo who used the armor shearing talisman." Shirong said and then withdrew something from his ring, showing it to everyone.
