Chapter 673 - Commotion Outside The Walls

"Only a few hours, huh?" Leon muttered.
He felt like he had cultivated for half a day at least, and his gains in the Nihility Law were not small during that time either.
The Dimension Crack and Chaos Sea was truly a holy land of cultivation for him.
Nevertheless, Leon abruptly pulled Aria into his embrace, causing her to give a short startled cry before he gave her a quick pinch on the nose and asked, "Why are you being so considerate? I figured you would be acting like a vinegar jar instead."
"Well, would you prefer it if I was?" Aria responded teasingly after she recovered from her surprise before saying, "If you had eaten all six maids, I definitely would be feeling sour."
"But I did eat them all?" Leon responded.
However, Aria shook her head and said, "You might have played with them in the spiritual world, but you didn't touch their actual bodies."
"Wifey, you should understand that a spiritual connection is much stronger than a physical one. So perhaps, as a result of their first spiritual experience, they might become addicted to it and even develop feelings for me, you know?"
"It's not as simple as an illusion or even a dream but a bonding of souls. This is how I realized that I can awaken them through our spiritual intimacy alone without doing the deed physically," Leon stated.
"Still, you didn't touch their bodies. So, I am okay with that," Aria said defiantly.
Her stubborn stance on the matter caused Leon to crack a smile and poke her little nose before he said, "My wifey, you can be so adorable sometimes, you know that?"
Aria's cheeks steadily flushed red from the compliment.
Although Leon did not touch the six maids physically, the same could not be said with Darlene—but of course, he did not need to mention this and ruin the mood they were sharing.
After the two enjoy a sweet little moment of peace together, Leon's expression shortly became more solemn as he asked, "Has anything happened while I was meditating?"
"Nothing much, really. Everyone seems to have been cultivating seriously after receiving blessings from your body," Aria mentioned with a meaningful look.
"About this, it's best if no one else knows about True Grandmist Energy. It poses too much risk if words of it reach the ears of a powerful expert with a greedy and selfish nature," Leon stated seriously.
Shortly after, he gave her a side glance and asked, "Since everyone is cultivating, why isn't my wifey here also doing the same? Have you hit a bottleneck?"
"Not quite a bottleneck, but just a slight obstruction," Aria was slightly confused as she mentioned, "Until now, everything had progressed smoothly. But the higher I climb, the more easily distracted I seem to become. I'm not sure why though…"
"This must be the side effects of relying on the Transcendent Crystals. In the future, don't readily rely on them anymore unless you need to. It will only delay your progress in comprehending laws further," Leon stated.
Shortly after, he also mentioned to Aria about Celestial Sparks and their severe side effects before she glanced back at him with surprise.
"How did hubby find out about this?" Aria asked.
"I was informed by two seniors. Actually, I wanted to share with you about this fruitful trip of mine while I was meditating… However, it seems like it will have to wait."
As Leon spoke, his gaze slowly shifted outside the courtyard.
The commotion had grown to the point of disturbing the peace within Barrenrock Courtyard as the contents of the tribesmen's chatters could be heard clearly.
"Seems like the news of the Shaman King's Successor and Divine Doctor had spread quickly. A few tribes had already sent their people over to investigate the truth," Leon added.
"Mm." Aria nodded for a moment before she knitted her brows and asked, "The Shaman King's Successor? Who is that?"
"I'll tell you about it on the way," Leon smiled slightly as he lifted the both of them off the ground and suggested, "Let us head out and check the situation."
"Alright."
Aria agreed.
…
…
…
At that moment, five groups from different tribes from Central Region had already received approval and entered the city, while several more groups were kept outside.
The commotion was caused by these groups.
"Is this how the Darkmoon Tribe treat their guests? Guests from afar have arrived at your Darkmoon Tribe, but the Darkmoon Tribe will not even welcome them? What kind of hospitality is this?" a Low-rank Battle Master spoke.
On the Darkmoon Tribe's walls, a retired senior at the Low-rank Battle Master realm gazed back at the crowd outside the walls coldly.
"I have already told you! Those with courtesy and respect will naturally be treated like esteemed guests of the Darkmoon Tribe and be welcomed! However, troublemakers like you who disrespect my Darkmoon Tribe upon your arrival will never be welcomed within our walls!" the retired senior spoke firmly.
"Just because the Shaman King's Successor and the Divine Doctor are both residing in your tribe, it doesn't mean your Darkmoon Tribe's status has been elevated! Are you sure you want to offend all our tribe by baring our entry? Can you bear the consequences?!" another Low-rank Battle Master shouted.
The retired senior quickly narrowed his eyes.
"It seems like the Black Warbear Tribe has spread false about us. These people don't know that the Shaman King's Successor and Divine Doctor is one and the same person—not to mention the person is part of our tribe," the retired senior mentioned to the Venerable Shaman beside him.
"That does seem to be the case. But it shows that these tribes don't respect us unless they understand that Young Master Leonhardt is one of us," Old Tailor commented before stating, "There's no need to treat them with respect."
"These people behave like kings upon their arrival, making various demands without a modicum of respect for us as if they rule this place. We are not their servants. There is no need to listen to them, nor should we be afraid."
"Right," the retired senior agreed with a nod and said, "The Darkmoon Tribe is not easy to bully.. Respect is not given but earned. If they don't respect us, why should we respect them?"
