The Last Primal

Meanwhile, at the western part of Ugburg City at the recently erected Corpse Poison Sect's local base.

In a spacious hall, the doors were tightly shut. Although it was noon and the sun was scorching outside, there was not much light within the hall and it seemed dark and creepy. In the darkness deep within the hall, a voice sounded from the center.

"[Slaric] How long has Uyl Lian been gone for?"

Surprisingly the language they used inside was not the commonly used reptilian dialect but instead the more distant relative of it, the Slaric.

The voice that spoke just now was sharp and insipid with a hint of coldness that made one shudder.

"[Slaric] Senior Brother Kai, it's been almost four full hours." A disciple appeared and cupped his hands.

"[Slaric] That's long…" The dark and cold voice sounded again, seemingly impatient.

"[Slaric] From what I know, there are three people in the city's south. Apart from the one we managed to mark, there's also several others associated with that man. It will probably take him some time to poison all three of them to death."

The person who spoke was a young looking reptilian with a fair, almost orange-tinted scaleless skin, a Rank 6 Martial Warrior disciple of the Corpse Poison Sect. He was called as Weith Yl.

The person hidden in the darkness was the commander of Corpse Poison Sect's expedition, Rank 2 Martial Master realm, Master Dorah Kai.

"[Slaric] Hmpf! Those are just some small fries, not worth our full attention. What I want is the head of their leader, the one they called Aiden."

Dorah Kai's voice was filled with endless killing intent as he uttered. "[Slaric] Our Sect Master's brother was killed by that vile, wretched man. Anyone… ANYONE who dares to touch anybody from Corpse Poison Sect will have to enjoy the taste of our methods!"

A short moment later, Dorah Kai asked again. "[Slaric] Where did that Aiden go to? Why isn't he arrived back to the city yet? Why haven't our spies give any report?!"

"[Slaric] Don't worry, Master Kai. We have already marked and poisoned one of his people, so he'll definitely be back! What we learned from his nature, he would never leave his own people behind!" Weith Yl replied with certainty.

Right then, a commotion could vaguely be heard outside.

Though it was strange, Dorah Kai only frowned and did not take it to heart.

This was the territory of the Corpse Poison Sect. Even the big factions such as Crystal Palace and Malefic Demon Clan wouldn't dare to tread so carelessly and lightly. Whatever the noise was would surely die down in a couple of seconds…

However, the commotion only grew closer and before long, there were screams and cries of pain mixed in it.

"[Slaric] Hmm?"

'[Slaric] What is going on?'

Dorah Kai narrowed his eyes and said coldly. "[Slaric] Weith Yl, go and see what's happening outside."

"[Slaric] Understood Master."

As soon as the yougn man, Weith Yl stood up, there was a loud bang and the ground shook. The entire hall was on the verge of collapse as dust rustled down.

Suddenly, the door exploded and countless gravel flew in all directions. Bright light spilled in from the outside, restoring some light in the usually dimly lit hall.

At the entrance of the hall, under the sunlight, stood a figure garbed in a gray, ugly robe that although wasn't too tall, was filled with a sharp killing intent and a torrential aura!

"[Slaric] Which one of you is called Dorah Kai?" The person's gaze was burning golden and was even brighter than the scorching sun outside.

He spoke in fluent Slaric, already learning that they used this rather obscure dialect between themselves, further confirming that they were coming from somewhere farther away.

In the hall, Weith Yl dodged multiple incoming rocks and looked extremely wretched as he turned his gaze towards the door.

When he saw the intruder, he exclaimed in shock, his arrogance instantly replaced by shock. "[Slaric] I-it's him! He is the target, the one called Aiden!"

Dorah Kai was initially extremely composed deep in the hall. When he heard that name, his eyes narrowed to a slit and shone with a cold glint as he smirked cruelly.

Yet, before he could speak a word or begin his monologue, Aiden's eyes shifted onto the young man, Weith Yl's face and shone brightly with a sharp killing intent. In a flash, he appeared before the latter.

Both reptilians were shocked at this. He was simply too fast!

Weith Yl merely felt his vision blur and his throat clamp up. He was lifted entirely from the ground with Aiden choking his throat with his right hand.

"[Slaric] Strange… You feel familiar for some reason. Have you seen me before?" Aiden asked with the same cold expression. His usual calmness and collected outlook was nowhere to be seen.

The Corpse Poison Sect had only entered Ugburg City a couple of days ago and during that time, Aiden was not in the city. He was far away, on the then still existing Metal Tree Groove.

It was normal for the Corpse Poison Sect to have heard of his name. However, it was strange if someone knew his identity at first glance.

With Aiden choking him, Weith Yl could barely breathe and looked extremely terrible. His eyes turned bloodshot and bulged out from their sockets as his tongue stuck out.

"[Slaric] I… I saw you before… back on the street!" Weith Yl stuttered with fear in his eyes. He knew extremely well that the person before him was ruthless and  was going to snap his throat if he hesitated even slightly!

"[Slaric] Oh? I was told you guys have arrived recently… Strange."

"[Slaric] You killed… You killed Grand Uncle Loran!" Weith Yl stuttered with difficulty.

"[Slaric] Loran? That church elder? What does he have to do with anything?" He asked with confusion. However even before he could finish his thought, he realized from the hateful look of the other one, that that seemingly worthless Elder Archbishop must have had some connection with these people.

Something strong, that made them risk everything and even come to this place… And judging by the honorary title he was given, he had to have some familial ties to someone higher up the chain… Probably a relative to someone in power? Maybe the Sect Master or one of the Elders controlling the Corpse Poison Sect.

"[Slaric] Very well. You have fulfilled your purpose, I understand everything. You can die now."

Exerting strength in his palm, Aiden crushed Weith Yl's throat and tossed the corpse aside.

Right from the beginning, Dorah Kai sat deep in the hall without moving, watching everything curiously with a mocking gaze. Outside the hall, the Corpse Poison Sect cultivators from all over the place were starting to gather.

"[Slaric] Tsk Tsk… That is quite the achievemnt for someone so young! You, Aiden, I have to give it to you. You have got some balls. To think that you would dare barge into the territory of the Corpse Poison Sect! Hehehe!" Dorah Kai laughed sinisterly, like a violent ghost in the dark.

"[Slaric] Hmm… Corpse Poison Sect? Aiden looked surprised first, before revealing a sneer. "I didn't even notice… I could come and go as I please. There were nothing really worthwhile in this pigsty, just some worthless rats, quivering in the dark…"

"[Slaric] Hahaha! How brazen!" Dorah Kai cackled with visible anger. "Do you really think that you can kill our disciples just like that? Do you believe that no one can stop you?"

Dorah Kai burst into laughter and stood up, declaring coldly. "[Slaric] Corpse Poison Sect cultivators are filled with poison from head to toe. You must have a death wish for killing our brethren with your bare hands! Why don't you take a look at your palm and see if it's starting to turn black? I urge you…"

Aiden sneered as he slowly raised his palm and showed it to Dorah Kai in the next moment causing her voice to stop in its tracks instantly.

His palm was clear, still healthy looking without any trace of blisters forming. He had no traces of poison inside his body!

Instantly, Dorah Kai's face darkened. He could guess that for some reason, this unassuming looking young man had some sort of miraculous ability to resist toxins… But to what degree?

Although the poison coated on Weith Yl's body was not one of their most lethals, it was more than enough to kill more than ten magical beasts. In fact, even pure-blooded ferocious beasts, like Wild Carnosaurs might be half-dead against this poison!

Yet this Aiden was somehow completely unharmed and fine. How was he completely unaffected?

Dorah Kai had seen everything clearly. There was no glove or protective equipment on Aiden's palm. He was barehanded when he lifted Weith Yl before. He came in contact with his skin directly.

Even if he racked his brains, he would not have imagined that Aiden possessed such an incredible heaven defying thing as the System and had already acquired neigh complete Poison Immunity...
