Elydir was leading that group of eleven people, even though he wasn't the strongest one in there. Wang Lei was a Profound Mana Realm cultivator, but he still let Elydir commanding, since he thought they were following the scrip created by Elyon.
However, in reality, Elydir selfishly decided to search for Caizhi's party. He felt it was unacceptable for Seth to be stronger than him and even more unacceptable that Caizhi was intimate with him.
His lips curved in a dangerous smile as he saw Caizhi and the other girls. He looked towards the sides but didn't see Seth's figure anywhere, so he felt that things would be even easier than he thought they would at first.
Elydir's party approached slowly and he started to introduce himself.
"Hello there, ladies. My name is Elydir and I am from the Luberus family, the strongest "Nature Root". Would you mind if I asked your name?" He looked towards Caizhi and kind of ignored the others. He was more interested on her than any of the other girls, actually, there was a certain obsession on his eyes.
Caizhi felt that something wasn't right. Elydir was looking kind of strange, even though he was masking his real intentions with his good guy disguise.
"I'm Wu Caizhi. What can I help you with?" Caizhi introduced herself without letting her guard down. She didn't like the way this elf was looking at her.
'Wu?' Wang Lei heard her family name and couldn't help but think if she was from that damned Wu Martial Kingdom. The relationship between the human kingdoms were bad, especially the StormWind Valley and the Wu Martial Kingdom.
"Oh? No, there is nothing we need your help with. Actually, it's just that I was thinking if we could join our parties and hunt for stronger beasts?"
"I will have to refuse your offer. We are doing fine by ourselves."
"Yeah! We don't need anyone other than Senior Borther Seth to accompany us!" Jiayi said from behind Caizhi.
She just didn't know that her phrase touched Elydir's nerve.
"Heh!" Elydir snorted and undid his disguise. Even his voice seemed to have changed a lot.
"Seth? Hah! He must be dead already and the same thing will happen to you, if you don't come with me!"
After Elydir finished his speech, Caizhi frowned in displeasure and was certain that this elf was bad news now. She didn't even ask anything or reply his absurd remark. Instead of wasting time with that, she drew her orb out of her spatial ring and got ready for the possible conflict.
The girls did the same thing as her, entering their battle formation in a matter of seconds.
"Heh, guess there is no other way... I want you to go and bring me that girl! You can do anything you want with the others." Elydir closed his arms and commanded the four Mana Control cultivators of his family.
They released their aura one after the other, completely dispersing any attempt of struggle the girls from the Glazed Lake Sect could have done. The aura of a Mana Control practitioner was too much for them to handle and they almost knelt down by the pressure alone.
But, before anything serious could happen, a huge water wave crashed down from above, carrying the intent of destruction and ferocity. The four Mana Control powerhouses were caught by that wave and tried to resist it with all their might. However, even the four of them together were not enough to handle that power.
When they were about to get pushed back by that attack, Wang Lei moved forward like lightning and a huge storm followed behind his figure. His body directly impacted with that huge wave of water, creating an energy storm that threw everyone away.
"Ah!"
But before anyone could get injured by that storm, on both sides, a mild energy protected the people that couldn't handle it.
Wang Lei looked up and saw the figure of a woman hovering in the air. It was the Eleventh Palace Master of the Glazed Lake. She was hiding closely and decided to act after Elydir sent four Mana Control practitioners to attack.
She and Wang Lei were Profound Mana Realm cultivators and when they were battling, there would be nothing the others could do.
"I never thought you would step this low Wang Lei. Colluding with the Elves to attack the disciples of my sect..."
"Hehehe... It's nothing personal, but you will have to be buried here."
"So, you're trying to kill me, huh? If our Goddess learns of what happened here, you can say goodbye for your StormWind Valley."
"AHAHAHAH! Well said... If she learns of what happened here, we could be in trouble, however, that only applies to the scenario where she learns what have happened here."
Wang Lei's aura exploded in a windstorm and a loud blast echoed inside everyone's ears. His body flew like an arrow towards his opponent and they started a fierce battle.
A tornado formed around them and Wang lei made it move towards the Palace Master direction. It started to make the rocks and threes nearby levitate and join in the centrifugal force. Everything flew towards her, sealing her routes of escape.
The Eleventh Palace Master didn't panic. She moved a step back as a huge wall of water formed in there and started to get sucked inside the tornado, turning it into a maelstrom of water.
Wang Let felt his technique weakening and his control over it being transferred to the Palace Master. At a certain point in time, the water tornado had changed direction, going towards his way.
"Tch!"
Wang Lei cancelled his wind energy before he lost total control over it, making it turn into strong air currents that destabilized the entire maelstrom. It exploded in a huge rain of water and stones, crashing in the land below.
The battle between them was so intense that it thoroughly destroyed the entire terrain in a matter of a few minutes.
Wang Lei had an idea and shouted for Elydir.
"I will hold her for some minutes, make sure to deal with the other people."
After saying those words, his Mana expanded and merged with the air, creating a huge grey cloud that enveloped him and his enemy.
The Palace Master made a motion with her hands and a column of water shot towards a certain part of the cloud and tried to disperse it, but it wasn't able to. The heavy atmosphere inside those clouds was making it hard for her to move too.
Outside of that domain, the girls were starting to get anxious.
Caizhi saw that none of the other girls knew what to do and said: "Come, let's flee and hide for the time being."
"It's too late for that!"
Elydir's voice reached their ears, waking the other girls from their reverie.
The five humans and four elves, together with Elydir were already blocking their route of escape.
"Now, I want to see how you will leave this situation."
The four Mana Control initial-stage elves moved all at once, suppressing the girls with their aura. Elydir saw that they couldn't move any longer and started to slowly approach Caizhi.
But before he could get his hands on her he saw a green dot from the side of his eyes and suddenly an arrow coated with evergreen poison was almost making contact with his body.
One of the four Mana Control elves moved at the last second and blocked the arrow with his right arm, however, he didn't know it was poisoned.
In a matter of seconds, her started to feel dizzy and almost lost his balance. He took the antidote from a pocked in his clothes and drank the whole bottle. The relatively important elves always carried one of those with them. It could save their lives against the Synthetic Evergreen Poison.
Everyone looked towards the distance and saw six people approaching the area.
Paeris Beihorn was serving as the protector for the youths of the Beihorn family and they were hunting in a place nearby when they heard the sounds of battle coming from this area. He felt that something was off, since the entire sky was being covered by grey clouds and decided to come and check.
After his arrival, he witnessed the Young Master of the Luberus family and his group pressuring some humans. At first, he just found it strange, but after realizing the humans were from the Glazed Lake Sect, he decided to act. It was more than clear to him what was happening here.
Paeris Beihorn tried to silence Seth once, at the Hilkhell city, but that was because he thought Seth would be a future trouble for his disciples. It turned out that Seth didn't do anything to them and Paeris felt gratitude for that, even though they haven't met yet.
Although it didn't seem, Paeris was a person that upheld his morals and debts, so he chose to help Caizhi at this moment.
His group arrived beside the four girls and it pretty much told Elydir that he would stand for them.
"What are you trying to do Elydir?"
"Oh? Paeris and the Beihorn family youths? You should not be meddling in my affairs.. Now that you chose to step in, we will be forced to deal with your family sooner than we anticipated."
