Chapter 165: A Gathering of future heroes and one Villain
In yet a different part of the world, a knight in bronze armor rested on one knee as he took his helmet off to reveal his face.

In front of him stood two men in gold armor.

One of them wore a pair of glasses he adjusted from time to time. While the other one was a bit boorish. However, both were very high-ranked and highly respected.

“You know what to do!” The knight in gold armor asked.

“Yes, my lord!” The kneeling knight responded, “I’m going hunting.”

….

Months went by like subtle raindrops rushing from the sky. And before any one knew it, the due time had arrived.

It was finally time for the gathering of the sword clans.

By now, the Chikitsa clan was filled with many different clans. All of them for one reason and one reason only. And that was to prove that their swords were the sharpest and their strikes were the hardest.

“I’m glad that the chief still thought it wise to hold the gathering of the sword clans regardless of the commotion from the devil invasion.” One vendor relayed to another.

“Hmmm! you are right. Just imagine us losing all this great profit. That would have really been a shame.”

“Look over there!” The first vendor pointed at the caraven that had just arrived in front of an inn. “Is that not the people from the Saber clan?”

The second vendor looked closely and nodded his head, “Indeed, it is them. I recognize that insignia anywhere. I once lied to my wife that I was living for business to another clan. Meanwhile, i was going to the Saber clan for their women.”

The first vendor looked at his old long-time friend and nodded in understanding, ” I don’t blame you. I have also done that before. Their women there are just top-notch beauties.”

“Yes! Yes!!” the second vendor had a reminiscing look on his face as he thought of the good times he had playing with beautiful women away from his wife. “Those were such good times.”

However, the first vendor tapped him out of his head as he pointed just ahead. “Hey! is that Chief Sancca, the chief of the saber clan?”

“Ahh! you are right! that must be her. Even though she is a mother of six, she still maintained her figure very well. Damn! such a beauty. If only my wife did not become a ball after dropping two rascals.”

“Rumors have it that her Sixth daughter would be participating in this year’s gathering of the sword clans.”

The second vendor nodded his head, “yes! I have also heard of this. However, I heard that she was a trouble maker through and through. Causing only problems. It seems that Chief Sancca wants to use this opportunity to discipline her.”

“Hmmm! I agree. You must be right. If I was the one, that is exactly what I would have also done.”

There was suddenly a problem with the people of the Saber clan Caravan.

They looked like they were searching for something. Or rather, they were searching for someone.

One of the maids stepped forward to whisper something into Chief Sancca’s ears. She was the maidservant to a particularly troublesome young lady.

“WHAT!?” The chief screamed in anger, “What do you mean she is gone? I saw her just before we got into the clan. Where did she go to?”

“I don’t know, Chief Sancca! she only said something about enjoying a preliminary snack before the main event. Knowing her, she must not have gone too far.”

The maid-servant held her head down in shame. This was not the first time that her lady was doing this. And she had to be the person to enjoy the burn of the screams all the time.

A man that looked somewhat in his late forties stepped forward and held Chief Sancca’s hands, “calm down My darling!” I’m sure she is only exploring the place. After all, this is her first time outside the clan. She is already a big girl and a strong cultivator too. As long as she is in this place, I’m sure that all is well.”

Chief Sancca was boiling in anger. However, after hearing her husband’s words, she sighed as she rested her head on his shoulders, “you spoil her too much, you know right?”

Her husband laughed a bit as he stroked her flowing black her, “and you are too hard on her. She is young. She needs to shed her willfulness. If not, she will never get married.”

As he talked, one of his sly hands had traced its way to her backside in an attempt to cup a feel.

“Don’t say that!” chief Sancca pushed him away, slapping his sly fingers that were about to take advantage of her.

“The only thing in that your coconut head is bedroom activities to make more runts like her that give me endless problems.”

He laughed in a self-pitying manner, “what do you mean? didn’t they all turn out for the better? Don’t worry! or don’t you trust me again?” His fingers reached once more.

And she slapped it even harder this time around. she turned to him with a frown on her face, “you don’t get so much as a kiss until your daughter is here!” she turned and walked away.

The man sighed and watched as his feisty wife walked away. He had known her long enough to know that she was serious.

He knew he had no choice.

The vendors were still watching. However, he suddenly disappeared from their sight.

….

In another part of the Chikitsa clan, a son bowed to his father with respect as he took permission to leave.

Their caravan had only gotten to the clan and he wanted to go explore. The man in front of him was Chief Killian. Whom was also his father.

Chief Killian sighed lowly.

The younger generation was always burning with fire to conquer the world. Even though his son was taking permission to just take a look around the place, he knew very well that he wanted to spy around. After all, the Chikitsa clan was known as the strongest clan.

He wanted to throw challenges and come out on top.

Even though the event had not officially started, he wanted to still come out on top.

During the Gathering of the sword clans, many fights usually happened in this manner. Many usually ended up wounded and unable to fight when it was necessary.

However, this was also an opportunity to place one’s name out there, and put fear in the hearts of future opponents.

Chief Killian could not help but remember how things were when he was younger.

Back then, he too was filled with Zeal and fire. He wanted nothing more than to have his name written in the hearts of men as he conquered land to land.

However, age came with restrictions and responsibilities. He was now getting old, and he had too much on his mind, and even more that he needed to do.

He sighed as he nodded his head in approval, “you may go. But make sure that you do not get into fights that will render you useless for the competition, okay!?”

The young man nodded as he stood up and quickly disappeared out of sight.

…..

Yet again, in another part of the Chikitsa clan, a young man smiled as he picked up his younger sister of age five in one hand. She had requested for a snack as they were in the market place, checking out sweets.

Two cultivators that acted as guards followed behind him. However, they were more like maid servants at the moment as their hands were filled with all sorts of toys that the young man had bought for his younger sister.

He had planned that this snack was going to be the last thing he got for her before they went back to their Inn.

It was an Apple that had been wrapped tenderly on a stick with fried beast-cored meat.

His sister had been disturbing him for a while now for it, and he decided to buy it.

He bought it and paid the vendor for it.

He handed it to his younger sister. However, the moment she was about to place it in her mouth, a swift shadow passed by and the snack in her hand disappeared.

She immediately started crying.

The young man instantly became angry. He was so angry that spirit energy oozed out of his body.

The guards holding the toys behind him swallowed hard. Both of them knew how much this young master dotted on his younger sister. It was so bad that he even refused to go around and have preliminary fights with other competitors as it was the tradition during the Gathering of the sword clans.

Instead, he rather spent time pampering her with love and attention.

A tear drop from her eyes was equivalent to a river flowing with blood.

The number of times that he had killed for her was too much to count.

Even now, the guards shook in terror. They knew that things were not going to end well.

The young man looked in the direction of the shadow that had just passed. To his surprise, he saw that it was a Green skinned leopard.

He was angry. And in his heart, he had already sworn to dissect the creature and present its meat to his younger sister for dinner.

“My sister home! I’ll be right back.”

He immediately ran after the shadow. However, no matter how hard he tried, the green-skinned shadow leopard was just too fast.

The green-skinned shadow leopard immediately ran home with the snack in its mouth.

At the time, Chiron was not aware. But a Preliminary Gathering of heroes was coming to his doorstep.
