บท 258: Oath - 258
The flight to the ice lands was very quick. Leonardo stood in front of the battlefield.
There were very few signs that a fight was even fought, but Dave's corpse showed that the battlefield was not tampered with.
After examining for a few minutes, Leonardo stood up and sighed. He had completely confirmed that Dave had died from a single blow.
He had also confirmed that there were no cheating attacks with the intent to kill. Dave had died fair and square.
"You are free to go. Don't let me catch you near the fiendcelestial village ever again." Leonardo said before flying away.
He took Dave's corpse with him. Pangu watched as Leonardo flew off.
'It seems that my time with the fiendcelestials is over.' He thought to himself before flying towards the opposite direction of the fiendcelestial village.
He had a pretty good understanding of the fiendcelestial world and was heading towards an area that he would have not stepped foot into before the reset.
After journeying for three days and three nights, he reached his destination. In front of him was a sinkhole so wide and deep that neither the other side nor the bottom could be seen.
Pangu jumped into it and ran down the near vertical wall. His footsteps created holes in the sturdy wall, scaring off any living thing that was in the occasional cave.
As he went deeper, the sinkhole got darker and darker. After 5 minutes, light appeared. Yellow crystals lined the sinkholes walls, providing very good lighting.
After 10 minutes, Pangu saw the opposite wall on the other side of the sinkhole, but it was still many miles away.
After 20 minutes, the sinkhole's other wall was ten miles away from Pangu. At the same time, a floor appeared. He had arrived at the sinkholes bottom. There were no more light crystals, so the surroundings were difficult to see.
Pangu landed on the ground and waited. After 3 minutes, Pangu heard movement not far from him.
"Why are you here fiendcelestial?" A snake-like voice asked.
"My name is Pangu. I have come to meet the beast emperor. I have no ill intent." Pangu said. He was looking in the direction of the beast that spoke.
"Well well well, if it isn't Pangu himself." The snake-like voice spoke sarcastically. "Why should the beast emperor meet with you?"
"That is between me and her." Pangu answered. "If she doesn't want to see me, I will leave, but do ask her."
"Fine." The snake-like voice responded before more movement was heard.
Then there was silence.
The beast talking to him had once been the 3rd strongest beast in the Fiendcelestial world.
Unfortunately, his talent was one rank below god rank, causing him to only be at the foundation establishment realm right now.
The beast was a half snake half humanoid beast. His upper body was similar to that of a human, with fangs, snake eyes, and a long tongue.
His lower body was that of a snakes.
The sinkhole was the main area of the beasts, equal to the fiendcelestial village for the fiendcelestials.
After a minute of silence, a large door appeared on a wall and opened in front of Pangu. It had been hidden by an array. The door was a thousand feet tall and golden light was spilling out of it.
Pangu easily fit inside and entered a hall. In that hall was a red carpet, a throne, and a few seats by the side. The walls were completely made of gold. Only the throne was occupied.
The hall was thousands of feet tall and thousands of feet wide. Even Pangu didn't seem that big in it.
After a moment, Pangu looked at the throne and clasped his hands with respect.
"Pangu greets the beast emperor." He said.
"Hello Pangu, we meet again." The beast emperor, a common gray house cat, answered.
Compared to Pangu, she was a thousand times smaller, but her power was equal.
Not only was she at the 5th level of the core formation realm, but her talent was at the supreme god rank.
Luckily, she had only had enough time to reach one level above Dave before the cultivation reset due to being born later.
In a battle between the Fiendcelestial village and the beasts long ago, she had fought Dave and Leonardo at the same time before retreating only due to deaths on the beast's side.
The beast king sat in her cat form and stared at Pangu. Her face looked innocent, but she was undoubtedly a threat.
"Hello Mira. I have come with an offer." Pangu spoke.
"And what would that be?" The beast king asked.
"I am willing to join the beasts." Pangu said.
Mira was clearly stunned at his words.
"Why?"
"Because I killed Dave." Pangu answered.
Mira was once again shocked. She did not know the extent of Pangu's talent.
"Well that is something. Let me guess, you are joining for safety?" Mira asked.
Pangu nodded.
"If the supreme beasts learn that I killed Dave and was kicked out of the fiendcelestial village, they may all surround me and kill me before I become stronger." Pangu said.
There were more supreme beasts with god rank and above talent than any other race.
Luckily, every major site had some sort of defense. The fiendcelestial village had a powerful shield that only needed to be activated with spirit stones, while the beasts had many unknown arrays on the way down the sinkhole, although many could not be activated without a powerful person.
If Pangu was away from the village, he could be surrounded and killed without worrying about anything.
"Then this is your best move. However, if you join, you must make an oath. Before that, I will ask you, would you be willing to kill another fiendcelestial?" Mira asked.
She knew that Dave and Pangu didn't get along, but killing someone you hate and someone you don't is an entirely different matter, especially when of the same race.
"Yes I can." Pangu responded.
"Then raise your hand high and repeat after me." She said.
"I Pangu, swear to you know who that I will not betray the beasts for a thousand years." Mira said.
"I Pangu, swear to Heaven that I will not betray the beasts for a thousand years." Pangu repeated.
Although nobody knew of the existence of heaven, the fiendcelestial world had accidentally learned about the oath system after some insane person went rambling on and was struck by lightning.
