Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 697 - 3 Plane Childs of Origin (Seeking Subscription)

Suhabaru's brutal actions brought a brief silence over the entire audience. As he licked the blood at the corner of his mouth like a beast, Pei Yan slowly descended into the courtyard, glanced coldly at Alex's body on the ground, and said, "You can absorb others' blood and convert it into your power? What relationship do you have with the Vlad Clan?"

"The Vlad Clan? Ah, right! I forgot you have a vendetta with them!" Suhabaru closed his eyes, savoring the taste of the blood, and sighed, "We don't have your fortune to tread the path of gathering the Origin Seed, but we have our ways. Relying on the Origin Seed and fragments provided by the Blood Annihilator, and combining the technologies of several planes, we've made significant breakthroughs in surpassing our own limits, and I'm merely one of them."

At this point, Suhabaru opened his eyes and sneered at Pei Yan, "That's right, my transformation is indeed related to the Vlad Clan. They also contributed their family's Secret Techniques. My body was modified to fuse the bloodlines of powerful creatures from various planes. Do you know? The stronger my variant body becomes, the more my combat power increases. Now, even I don't know the limits of my strength because no one has pushed me to fight with all my might. It seems today I will get my wish! Pei Yan, do you want to battle me?"

Just as Pei Yan was about to speak, his battle desire stoked, another voice interjected, "Suhabaru, your life should end at my hands. You must pay for your actions just now and atone for Alex's death!"

Pei Yan followed the voice and saw a tall, red-haired young man with freckles floating over from the Spirit Monster Plane crowd. After landing, this man looked Pei Yan up and down then turned to Suhabaru, continuing, "Your opponent is me! I will personally capture you to get to the bottom of Alex's death and the mystery of the Dragon Bone in your body."

Before Suhabaru could respond, another voice echoed from the sky, "Fellow Daoists, shouldn't it be reasonable for our Daoist Realm to take down Suhabaru?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan couldn't help but find it amusing. Today, everyone seemed eager to fight. With this thought, he turned his head and saw a young man in a green robe, hair adorned with a jade hairpin, with a three-foot green sword slung at his waist, descending on Pei Yan's other side. Seeing Pei Yan looking his way, the young man raised a hand in greeting and smiled, "This place is under the Immortal Palace's jurisdiction. Villains like him should naturally be apprehended and dealt with by us. How could we allow guests to risk fighting? Leave dealing with Suhabaru to me."

"Lin Daozi, this man killed one of my kindred—it's a blood feud. Blood feuds are above all else, and it's not right to let others avenge it." The red-haired youth lightly tidied his wind-blown hair, responding with a hint of dissatisfaction.

The one called Lin Daozi dismissed it casually, maintaining his smile, "Saraf, this is still the Daoist Realm. Once I have captured him, I will give you an explanation for this man's grievance with your people. The dignity of the Immortal Palace cannot be freely challenged or trampled. If I let someone else capture him today, where would the Immortal Palace's face be?"

"The face of your Immortal Palace is your face. Is the Dragon Realm's face not a face? Pei Yan can take his enemies down, but we Dragons can't avenge a villain harming us in public? Lin Daozi, do you think the Spirit Monster Plane has no one?" Saraf coldly laughed, pointing at Pei Yan, "Heh heh, do you want me to learn from him and cause a ruckus here before you give me the respect I deserve?"

Watching and amused, Pei Yan raised an eyebrow when the topic was directed at him. From the moment they appeared, the unusual surges inside him indicated these people were different. Like himself and the Xila from the Demon Race, they were candidates chosen by the Origin Seed!

It was unexpected to meet the real opponent he wanted to see before the Sword Debates at the Immortal Palace. Just as Pei Yan wanted to retort, someone cut in again—this time, it was Suhabaru, who had been neglected. Seeing the three vying for the chance to act, completely ignoring him, he laughed maniacally with rage, "I didn't expect to encounter three candidates of the Origin Seed in a row. You're all supposedly heaven's favored ones, but you think you can catch me easily even before making a move? It's disgusting. There's no need to argue; come on! You're also among the prime targets of the organization's hit list. Killing one covers my costs; killing two earns me a profit. If I kill all three, heh heh heh!"

Suhabaru spat the excess blood from his mouth toward the ground, his eyes scanning the three with contempt, "It seems the so-called chosen ones are nothing special, merely a bunch of greenhouse wastrels!"

"Three against one!" Pei Yan chuckled, stretching leisurely before finishing his sentence, "You wish!"

He then turned his head toward the other two and said, "Initially, I didn't want to argue with you, but since he said that, I've decided to take him down! There should be an order of priority; he should be my prey."

"What a coincidence, I also must have him. If someone dares contend with me, I won't mind making another enemy!" Saraf asserted firmly and unyieldingly.

Seeing their stance, Lin Daozi squinted slightly, his smile fading into a cold expression, "Is causing a commotion on the host's grounds and fighting without permission the guest etiquette you've learned? Words said three times become cold water. Allow me to remind both of you one last time: this is the Daoist Realm, under the Immortal Palace's jurisdiction! This man must be taken by the Immortal Palace. Whosoever refuses to heed, don't blame me, Lin Daozi, for being merciless and disregarding camaraderie, capturing them all together."

This statement made the situation on the field delicate. Lin Daozi needed to restore the Daoist Realm's face by capturing the enemy in front of various sects from different planes; Saraf sought to avenge his kin; Pei Yan watched the spectacle, never disdaining extra trouble. All three intended to fight solo to make a name for themselves, yet were unwilling to deploy unfair advantage, leading to a stalemate with none willing to step back.

It was Pei Yan who first relented, knowing further delay would give Suhabaru a chance. With a quick mind he proposed, "Since none of us wishes to yield, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you two would like to hear it."

"Speak!" Saraf looked at Pei Yan, curious to hear what the recently prominent figure would propose.

"Fellow Daoist Pei, do share. We are all ears!" Lin Daozi, likewise wishing to avoid an all-out conflict, replied with a slight smile.
