Corrupt Creations

Seth's Evergreen Essence practically created a miracle and within a few moments, Donghai's skin complexion was not pale anymore. On the contrary, it was tinged with a heathy color, making both of his parents get emotional, for they were not forsaken by the goddess.

They also had immense devotion for the goddess, just like everyone who lived in the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, even though she was responsible for the fate that befell on them. They blamed it all on the Sanctuary Master and his dirty schemes and even though they were not wrong, that man wasn't the only one responsible for it.

Suddenly, Seth retracted his arm and the green glow on his palm subsided. The first aids were done and from there onwards, time and resources were going to be required in order to finish the treatment.

Still maintaining his kneeling position, Grand Elder Chuanli, with teary eyes, started thanking the mysterious man that helped his son.

"Thank you... Thank you... I, the Grand Elder of the Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, owe you one for this."

However, instead of smiling back or anything alike, Seth eyed him with his severe abyss eyes and said: "Hah! What a joke! Do you think you're still the Grand Elder, after everything that had happened here? You must be blind to have not noticed it. Well, I guess it must be it, since the situation escalated to this point and you, the "Grand Elder", hadn't noticed anything."

Chuanli's face fell and a deep sense of shame hit hard on him. However, he could only lower his head and suffer in silence, since it was the truth.

"Heh, if you still consider yourself as one of them, you can stay here and let them decided if you live or die. However, I'm giving you the chance to escape right now." Seth eyed the other Elders as he said those words. His aura exploded with an overbearingness that assaulted them, keep them in check.

"If you chose the second option, then bring him to the Ereinrith City and I guarantee you, that you're going to receive shelter from the Elf Queen." Seth used his Mana to send a secret message to Chuanli, who still had his head down in shame.

It seemed that his chest was about to exploded, with the multitude of emotions colliding with each other over there. But deep down, Chuanli had already decided on what to do; for his wife and son. After thinking things through, he was able to reason that he wasn't going to betray the goddess, by escaping for a few days. Later, he would come back and let himself be judged accordingly.

Seth released the suppression he had on them, making Dongmei and Chuanli, feel their energy veins overflowing with energy.

The Grand Elder unceremoniously stood up and his Profound Mana Realm cultivation, was put to use. He hurriedly put a hand on his wife shoulder and another on his son, quickly holding him up.

In an abrupt action, he took flight with the both of them on his arms, swiftly leaving from the ceremony hall, from its broken ceiling.

Before his figure could vanish though, a few Elders acted on impulse, yelling and taking flight after him.

"You can't go! Stop!"

"Don't let the traitor go! Get him!"

Swoosh!

BANG!

Unfortunately for those Elders, a golden sun moved towards them so quickly, that it had practically teleported, appearing right in front of them, exploding and reaping their lies. After the blinding light receded, there was nothing, but Seth's aura left behind.

However, the energy fluctuations behind that ability, told the other Elders that it was a wind elemental technique and not a fire elemental one. It was a technique that had displayed an overbearing might that was rarely seen on wind arts, easily shocking all of them and paralyzing them in fear.

Luckly, most of the Elders knew they were in a delicate position and didn't move against Chuanli. Only four of them were crazy enough to do it, losing their lives in that attack.

"Meiyi, we're also leaving."

"Huhum!" Meiyi's complexion was a lot better, since she had witnessed the improvements on her father's health. With him escaping with her grandparents, she knew that she would be able to see him later.

"Let's go."

Seth's body was taken by a dark aura, that had also enveloped Meiyi. He was about to directly execute the Second Step of the Shadow Walk, teleporting very far away from that area. But even though it was an instant technique, even after a few seconds had passed, nothing happened and they stood there, bathing on the black glowing darkness exuded by his aura.

When she looked at him, Meiyi was able to understand that something was wrong. His body seemed to be armed, expecting for a conflict.

Seth had deeply furrowed his eyebrows and his eyes were not roaming around, lost, looking for an answer, but sharp, as if waiting for an inevitable outcome; an inevitable enemy.

Well... She was right. Just now, he had tried to teleport them away, just to hit an invisible wall. The space around them was locked and he felt he could at most, shift his position for a few meters in that condition.

An instant feeling hit him and Seth realized he was being observed.

"Ahahaha!!! Don't ever think I would allow you to leave from here, after disrupting my ceremony!"

The Sanctuary Master opened both of his arms and his aura interacted with the formation, completely changing its properties. He did it, so he could trap the woman that he was chasing after, inside the bounds of his territory.

Lan Xue had her eyes fixed on the light purple screen laying a few kilometers away from her, when suddenly, its color changed. The barrier circling the whole Illusive Ethereal Sanctuary, started getting darker and darker, while its properties were also changing.

It was turning the territory in a giant prison, blocking even people who had the Illusive Ethereal bloodline, from leaving.
