Leaving aside the disciples from the Myriad Occupation sect, there were still other spaceships that arrived at the same time as them, a fourth part of them had a familiar looking emblem, a red sword, but unlike the one from the Red Sword faction of the sect, this one had flames surrounding said sword.

It wasn’t hard to guess which force they belonged to, a second later, around sixty people came out of said spaceships, making Iris and Layla who were standing not far from Aster, frown.

“What are those traitors doing here?”, mumbled the youngest of the three maid sisters, Nina.

Those were all members of the Redheart family from which Iris and Layla came, however, unlike the members of the Red Sword faction which Aster had seen, some actually had a similar aura to her, in other words they were though from other branches, still related to her.

The same actually applied to Layla, a similar portion of those guys had a similar aura to her, so they were from her side of the family, the last batch which was composed of half of the total group gave Aster an even greater surprise, why you ask, well… their aura was similar to that of Nina, Mina and Lina, in other words the three maid sisters.

But contrary to what one would expect based on the previous, the last batch was the one leading the whole group and at the front line, stood two guys in his twenties, wearing different clothes than the rest.

The sixty people behind of them had white and red clothes with badges, three types of them to be more accurate, but those two guys at the front were red and yellow clothes and had no badge but they used some intricate rings that were on par with the ones given to the top ranked Core disciples like Iris or Nerissa.

That being said, they were early-stage Mortal Transcending realm cultivators and had the word “pride” written all over their faces, floating above them there was a pair of middle-aged women at the half step Heavenly realm who supervised the group.

Seeing the curiosity on Aster’s face, the red-haired straightforward girl, Iris, offered a quick explanation.

“Nowadays the Redheart family is divided in three factions, the Bladeheart, Fireheart and Blazeheart factions, named after the families that lead them, sister Layla is from the Bladeheart family, those two guys are from the Blazeheart while I come from the… Fireheart family but took the last name of my mother instead of my father’s one, not that it matters since I have no relation with the first two”, she said to then add.

“That being said, those guys from the Blazeheart don’t recognize that name, so you’ll hear them refer to themselves as the Redheart”.

Aster nodded, he knew that there must be a lot more behind this, since she didn’t mention that Nina and her sisters also seemed to come from the Blazeheart family branch, but since Iris didn’t seem to be comfortable with deepening into it too much right now, he didn’t ask.

In any case, judging by the sharp gazes on both Iris and Layla’s eyes, all the group from the Redheart family, were enemies so the situation that happened with Fawn, wouldn’t repeat.

Though the sudden appearance of a bunch of red-haired people, among which Aster amusingly noticed quite a few who had actually dyed their hair to attain either a brighter or deeper red hair color, which was still not even close to the one of Iris and the others, drew the attention of the present people.

For those who knew, they weren’t really impressed by the Redheart family’s group, since by themselves they are just a second-tier force from a high ranked Stellar System at the Black Meteorite Heavenly Quadrant, in fact most “family” type forces are like that.

It’s easier to grow by making a bunch of middle-sized groups combine their influence and resources to form a large organization, than for a single blood related group of people to expand enough to equal the previous.

That being said, those few family type forces that managed to reach that level, were always above the average, the four rulers of the Heavenly Quadrants were families instead not sects or other types of organizations after all.

Anyway, the after seeing the two guys at the front of the Redheart’s family group, some of the present people had different reactions, the most noticeable was William’s one, since he was one of the big characters here and he was quite eye catching due to his unique fashion sense as well.

“Don’t tell me…”, William frowned after stealing a gaze at those two guys, before focusing on the remaining spaceships, his premonition became true when giant flags were deployed by them.

Two in total, one was red with an erupting volcano making fire rain from the sky and the other was silver with a tower shield on it.

The spaceships then opened their gates and a bicolored wave of disciples came out of them, a total of two hundred in total, a hundred wearing red clothes similar to those two guys from the Redheart family with the difference that the vast majority had less detailed clothes and none had those intricate rings.

And the other bunch wore dark gray colored clothes, while being led by two people with silver clothes and rings as the ones mentioned before, young man and a girl who were early-stage Mortal Transcending realm cultivators to be more accurate, similar to those guys leading the group from the Redheart family, they had contemptuous expression on their faces.

At least until, William’s spirit pressure exploded above the newcomers, making all the members of the young generation except the four leading the two groups, fall to their knees, while the elders at the Genesis Manifestation and above were forced to bow down.

In comparison the four leading ones, simply paled as their rings shone, producing a defensive barrier that nullified the pressure, that being said only the physical pressure was blocked, the intimation that they felt due to William’s anger still affected them.

Speaking of which, Aster was surprised to see the lazy William taking the initiative to act for once, not to mention that the anger being radiated from him was the real deal.

‘It probably has something to be with the affiliation of those guys’, thought Aster, as if Lilia could read his mind, her mellow voice echoed in his head a second later.

‘Those flags belong to the Supreme Elemental sect, mmm, you could say they are the counterpart of the Myriad Occupation sect, their main branch is in the Black Meteorite Heavenly Quadrant so you can imagine who are their backers’.

Aster inwardly nodded, he has heard the name “Supreme Elemental sect”, a few times recently, first from Valentina when she met Layla earlier, then at the auction since the opening item was created by someone affiliated to them and now, they ended up making an appearance.

‘Ah, in case you wonder, the Talis and Stall families hate each other to death~’, playfully added Lilia and as if to follow with her words, two spirit pressures came from the spaceships where those guys were travelling, as a couple of middle-aged men in their forties, one wearing red clothes while the other wore silver ones, appeared on the air at the same height as William.

The clash of pressures caused a loud thunder-like sound, before silence returned as both sides cancelled each other’s spirit pressure, allowing the newcomers to calmly breath once again.

“The protectors from the Supreme Elemental sect, greet the young master of the Talis family”, an old voice then made its way to everyone’s ears once the clash had ended.

This time let alone William, practically everyone present was surprised, since they couldn’t tell from where was that voice coming and that included Aster, who couldn’t help but frown, the only one who could escape the scoop of his dragon eyes so far, is Lilia.

So, you could say that nothing below the proper Heavenly Realm can escape his sight, but it was impossible for a Heavenly realm cultivator to come down to a middle grade Stellar System without suppressing his cultivation, so there must be something else going on here.

‘Don’t worry darling, that is the specialty of those Stall bastards, one time usage spirit treasures with extremely strong effects, in this case a half step old trash used a middle grade Immortal rank spirit treasure to produce an effect at the Heavenly realm level in order to escape that guy’s senses’, casually explained Lilia, referring to William who was the one in charge of security here.

‘That being said, it is rare to see someone not from the direct lineage of the Stall, getting his hands on such a thing’, she added.

‘Hey, I won the rock, paper, scissors, so why did you tell him before I could!’, Rya’s incensed voice, interrupted Lilia before she could say anything else, making Aster chuckle.

Though neither William nor he detected the one who was talking right now with their senses, Lilia and Rya did, but they didn’t mention it on the spot and instead played rock paper scissors, to decide who will do it.

‘Punishment for those two’, thought Aster, before focusing on William once again, speaking of William, his face turned serious as he saw an old man with green clothes come out of a random spaceship.

“How dare you, scum from the Supreme Elemental sect, show your faces here”, William’s muscles tensed and his body expanded, in a matter of milliseconds, his height increased by around twenty centimeters, but then as a strange pattern started appearing on his arms, the green robed man took something out of his pocket to then say.

“Now, please calm your anger, we aren’t here as enemies, but as guests”, the object in question was a white jade palm sized with a single word engraved on it.

Seeing the word “Heavenly” on the white jade plaque, William cancelled whatever he was about to do, but as if his anger was transferred to someone else, Valentina who was observing everything since earlier, exploded in purple lightning.

“If it isn’t the current Purple Lightning princess of the Lightning Amethyst family, we came here with the mission to lend a helping hand to our long-time allies”, said the old man as he gazed at the group from the Mountain Amber and Ocean Aquamarine families.

“Nonsense, the Heavenly Marble family can flaunt as much as they want but they can’t just invite you to this place”, said Agnes with a hostile expression on her pretty face.

“The young Sun princess is right, however this got the approval of the Disaster Onix family as well, you can verify it yourself if you don’t believe me”, slily said the old man as he threw the jade token to Valentina, who caught with her hand, to then inspect it with her soul enhanced spirit sense, only for the lightning that was crackling around her to intensify even more than before as she confirmed that what the old green robed man said was true.

‘Damn that old witch’, she inwardly cursed, to then dispel the lightning surrounding her body, the previous made the green robed old man to smile at least for a second before Valentina actually threw the white jade plaque to the ground before turning around as she said.

“I have confirmed it, now get lost and reunite with your team mates”.

“Hmph”, Agnes added a cold snort as the two of them ignored the group, making the old man tremble with anger for a second, one of the silver clothed disciples, the young man to be more accurate, nearly lost it.

“How dare you, do you not know whose orders we are follow…”, the silver clothed guy stopped midway as his sight was covered by purple, a lightning ray was about to pierce his head, when the solver robed half step Heavenly realm middled aged cultivator flashed towards it to then redirect it upwards.

With his hand being constantly attacked by the leftover electricity from Valentina’s attack, the silver robed protector glared at Valentina but didn’t dare to retaliate and instead just said.

“My disciple is a bit impulsive; I hope young miss Valentina can forgive him, the matters that involve disciples should be solved by disciples after all”.

Though he was apologizing, he also hinted that it was shameless of Valentina to attack someone with the status of a disciple, given that she is a Core elder level figure, unfortunately for him Valentina didn’t even bother to look backwards and just kept walking alongside Agnes, making the protector grit his teeth.

“Heh, you guys paid such a hefty price to come here, just to suffer, I didn’t know you had such preferences, as one would expect from the Stall family”, mockingly said William, he wasn’t allowed to fight with them, due to the intervention of the Fey family, but nothing prevented him from insulting them.

The silver clothed protector felt his blood boil, but he was stopped by the green robed old man, who shook his head.

“Enough, we have other things to do”, he said, the newly arrived groups, including the people from the Redheart family then moved all in the same direction, towards where the guys from the Mountain Amber and Aquamarine were.

On the way, the two young guys who led the other disciples secretly glared on Iris and Layla’s direction, something that didn’t escape Aster’s eyes, however right now wasn’t the time to care about them, since there was something much more important happening.

The distortions were becoming active again, which made everyone raise their guards, but unlike before with the invisible space fragments, only one distortion out of the around twenty that activated, let out something.

“What is that!”, exclaimed a random rogue cultivator, the thing that came out of one of the couple of dozens that activated was a house sized corpse of a strange looking spirit beast, in appearance it was similar to a wolf, but it had two heads instead of one, the right one had a patch of red fur on the neck while the left one had a yellow one instead.

You might wonder why all the presents were intrigued by the corpse of a spirit beast, well, the thing is that no one here had seen such a spirit beast before and that is a lot to say, considering that with Lilia included, there were people from the high Stellar Systems of the four Heavenly Quadrants.

Aster gazed at his three “consultants” from Divine Firmaments just to see Eris, Mylene and Mira shake their heads, they also didn’t recognize the race of that spirit beast.

Now, the level of the corpse was only at the Stellar grade, but the problem is that it had zero leftover vitality and yet it radiated such a strong blood aura, in other words, when it was alive it definitely was at the Heavenly realms… or above, depending on how much time has that spirit beast been dead, that last part was only considered by Aster who already knew of the existence of Divine Firmaments though.

“Such a strong bloodline aura, what a treasure!”, a Void Manipulation realm from one of the families that joined the auction yesterday, the Hunter family to be more accurate, took advantage of the confusion to flash towards the corpse which was falling from the sky.

Now it’s not like the higher ranked cultivators didn’t think of snatching the corpse, however after seeing what happened earlier, they were wary, still their eyes were glued to the Void Manifestation guy who rushed towards the corpse, ready to act if things were okay, of course the half step Heavenly realm cultivator from the Hunter family was the same, since he was the one who told that guy to move.

‘We have to get that corpse no matter what!’, thought the middle-aged half step Heavenly cultivator from the Hunter family.

“Look he is about to reach it, there is no problem this time!”, exclaimed a rogue cultivator seeing the Void Manipulation guy arrive right in front of the corpse.

The previous ignited the greed in the hearts of all the presents, the Law Integration and half step Heavenly realms didn’t act since they had to keep face, but a bunch of Void Manipulation ones, rushed towards the corpse all at the same time.

In fact, some were faster than the guy who took the initiative, which ended in around ten people getting to the corpse at the same time, but just as they were about to start fighting over it, they all exploded into a bunch of broken flesh and bones, while those who hadn’t arrived were sent flying, crashing on the ground a second later.

“Booom!”, besides the sound of bodies hitting the ground, everyone froze on the spot, they were in shock after seeing those Void Manipulation cultivators die without even the chance to scream, there were no traces of spirit energy coming from it, so they didn’t understand what happened.

Let alone Law Integration cultivators, even half step Heavenly realm might have trouble killing a Void Manipulation cultivator without using any spirit energy fast enough so that they wouldn’t have the chance to react and a dozen of them died that way right now.

“No matter how good a treasure might be, your life is always the first priority, so in a situation where your safety isn’t guaranteed, you always wait for “volunteers” to clear the path for you, don’t worry, there are always greedy idiots present at moments like this”, said a black-haired youth to a blond little girl, who continuously nodded in response.

Given that silence reigned after the previous scene, Aster’s though casual, still serious voice as he was giving Kana a “lesson”, outstood as a sore thumb, angered gazes from all over the place, targeted Aster a second later, after all a bunch of Void Manipulation cultivators just died or got heavily injured and he casually said that they cleared the path for him.

‘That bastard, I will kill you!’, inwardly screamed a hooded figure that didn’t stand out among the many rogue cultivators, one of the Void Manipulation that died was that guy who asked for women, from the mercenary group that was hired by the Teles family and the hooded figure who is their captain was livid, zero gains and one of his subordinates was already dead.

“L-Look!”, the hooded figure who was lost in his thoughts, came back to the real world upon listening to the rogue cultivator next to him, shouting while pointing in a particular direction, which he followed with his eyes just to see that Aster had appeared where the corpse was still falling and casually placed his hand on it.

Then to the surprise of all the presents, the corpse disappeared into Aster’s spatial ring, the reason as to why all those Void Manipulation rushed to reach the corpse was that due to the interference caused by the distortions, spatial treasures were having trouble working.

Normally things can be sent into one’s spatial ring even at a certain distance, which increases according to one’s cultivation realm, but due to the interference, one had to be in contact with the object in question to store it away.

Anyway, now it’s not the time for that, Aster who flashed towards where Lilia and the others were, since nothing else was coming out of the distortions that were active as of current, was suddenly ambushed by a black clothed man who tried to snatch away his spatial ring, alongside his arm, just to see Aster grin at him.

“Blegh!”, the black clothed man was sent flying while vomiting blood out of nowhere, loudly landing on the ground in a disgraceful manner a second later, the black clothed man, who was the half step Heavenly realm cultivator of the Hunter family, tried to get up with a lot of difficulty, since his meridians were a mess, just for a mountain like pressure to assault him where he was.

“W-Wait, I will… aghhh!”, the right arm and left leg of the black clothed man turned into a bloody mist, making him scream of pain as he fell backwards and rolled on the ground while screaming.

However, unlike when he was sent flying, when no one could tell how or it happened, everyone noticed the reason as to why the old man lost a leg and an arm, they looked upwards and saw a white jade palanquin floating above in the sky, it was the Supreme Elder of the Batte Peak who travelled with the float of the Myriad Occupation sect to protect them.

“Also, if you want to openly suppress someone, make sure that you are stronger than the other party, or you’ll end up in a miserable state, like that”, casually said Aster as he pointed at the Hunter family’s protector.

“Mm, I’ll listen to big brother”, said the little girl, her malicious lacking mellow voice, and serious pretty face as she listened to Aster’s “lessons”, were the last nail on the coffin for the Hunter family’s protector, he vomited blood once again to then lose consciousness.
