Chapter 1126 A Coward.
"That is part of the reason but the main reason behind it is you,"
Riona spoke as she glanced at Nux.
"Me?" Nux tilted his head in confusion.
"That's correct.
As we know, these new Clans emerging was not the first time people had seen Complete Cultivators, there were some well-known complete cultivators before these new clans appeared, the Seven Heroes for example.
When these new Clans appeared and started overwhelming their opponents using their Complete Cultivators, the Seven Heroes didn't stay idle, although their Clan itself wasn't doing well, they were different.
The Seven Heroes fought and although they didn't win all their fights, they didn't lose pathetically either. Elijah Sky, the Vampire Hero, who at that time was a Great Sage, had a great record and was considered to be one of the strongest Great Sages in the world.
Vedier Blaze, on the other hand, didn't do very well since the opponents he faced were experienced Semi Saints while he had just stepped into the realm recently. His record is much more stable now with many victories under his name.
Other Heroes weren't lagging behind either. Soon, the discussions started and two more names came out."
"Which two?" Nux questioned.
"Who are the other two Complete Cultivators who have made public appearances?" Riona questioned back.
"One is me and the other…"
Nux racked his brain, trying to figure out the answer however, he couldn't tell who the second Complete Cultivator was.
"Nux and Devil."
Riona answered and Nux glanced at the woman with a deadpan look on her face.
"Nux had defeated Elijah, who was known as one of the strongest Great Sages of the time, as for the Devil…
Let's not even talk about him.
Obviously, people were much more curious about the Devil, however, since the Devil had practically no history of existence they could follow, people decided to 'settle' for Nux.
Who will be stronger, the new Complete Cultivators or Nux Leander?
Where will Nux and his Clan ExceedoGenesis stand in this new Era?
More and more of these questions filled the people's minds, the new Top Clans saw this as an opportunity and challenged ExceedoGenesis to get to you.
However, since you were not here, we could only reject their challenges only to be challenged again, then again, then again.
At first, there weren't any big problems, we said that you and your wives are cultivating and won't be appearing for a while.
Soon, however, those Clans started losing their patience.
They thought that you went into hiding and to bring you out, they decided to target the clan.
The number of challenges we received each week increased drastically, it became so bad that we started receiving at least 5 challenges every single day, this time, they weren't just targeting you, the challenges were directed at other members of the clan as well.
We continued to decline, the Order rules still protected us and didn't force us to fight, however, this didn't mean the Order was going to protect us from other things.
The Clans started sabotaging our sources of income, our image was thwarted as you were called a coward, people stopped visiting our mission hall, almost all our business clients were taken away and our clan was isolated.
You, however, still didn't come out, and whether it was because they didn't feel safe anymore or that they didn't wish to work under a Clan Leader who was a 'Coward', or maybe both, our members started leaving.
This is why you cannot sense many members, they all have already left.
As to why there were so many Succubi outside, that was because the Lust State and the Bloodheart House sensed that this may get a little dangerous for us, so they started taking turns to send experts to protect us from Assassinations, right now, it is Lust State's turn."
Riona explained the situation. There were not many changes in her expression, probably because she was already used to everything, not to mention her history as the Queen trained her not to show her emotions most of the time.
Nux and his wives, however, all had solemn looks on their faces, the situation was much more complicated than they thought. Especially the need to seek Lust State's and Bloodheart's help to gain protection from possible assassination attempts. That was concerning, Yrniel's state was much worse than anything they could possibly imagine.
"Wait…"
Suddenly, Evane spoke with a frown on her face.
"I understand that most of the members left, but what about the people from our own Continent? The ones who had Slave Seals on them? I don't sense their presence either, how did they leave? Did the Slave Seal perhaps stop working when we left?" She questioned.
Hearing that question, a wry smile appeared on Riona's face, and,
"150 years have passed, Evane.
Most of the people from our continent are dead."
She replied and suddenly, the realization finally stuck in.
The people from the Forgotten Continent, Assassin Two, Assassin Three, Thyra's other subordinate assassins, Ember's Army subordinates, and other people they knew who couldn't adapt to this place and were stuck in their realm…
They all… were no longer present in this world.
It was different for children, take Royce for example, as a child, his body was full of potential when he came here, therefore, with denser Mana and all the resources available to him, in just 150 years, he had already become an Emperor.
On the other hand, people who were considerably aged before coming here and had used up most of their potential, after making one or two Breakthroughs, most exhausted their potential and remained stuck in their realm.
Just take Riona for example, she was a King Stage Cultivator back in the Forgotten Continent, this showed that her talent was definitely above average, her potential however, was a different thing.
Even after staying in Yrniel for 150 years, she still couldn't break through to the Sage Stage and was stuck in the Emperor Realm.
Riona was still one of the luckier ones since she was already a King Stage Cultivator, those who were stuck in the Master or Grand Master Stage and had exhausted most of their potential, they had it the worst and in the end, they couldn't escape the claws of time and took their final breaths.
