Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss

Chapter 486: Chapter 484: Three Treasure Toads

Heirs were rare in the Golden Crow Clan, so they placed great importance on the continuation of their bloodline.

The Lord had married many wives and concubines and fathered numerous children, yet only a small few inherited the Golden Crow Bloodline. The rest took after their mothers. Thus, any child who managed to inherit the Golden Crow Bloodline was considered precious.

So, upon learning that someone with the Golden Crow Bloodline had been killed out in the world, they were instantly enraged and descended upon this realm at the first opportunity. They just never expected to run into someone they hadn’t anticipated—Kaelan.

When the Pavonine Clan was slaughtered, they had not intervened. They had originally felt a slight pang of guilt toward Kaelan, but hearing him curse them the moment he spoke, their anger flared. That little bit of guilt vanished in an instant, replaced by indignation at having their status challenged.

They were, after all, the clan’s elders.

’How dare a mere upstart of such lowly status be so insolent!’

The leader’s face grew cold as he pointed at Kaelan.

"Silence."

"As a son of the Lord, you are utterly without manners. We are your elders."

"Manners? With old fools like you? Pah!" Kaelan spat. "You think you hypocritical, selfish bastards are worthy of being my elders? When my mother’s clan was wrongfully slaughtered, where were you? And now you want to lecture me about seniority? How laughable."

Their expressions stiffened at his words. One of them retorted, "Wrongfully slaughtered? Don’t be absurd. Your mother’s clan colluded with the Demokin to harm our fellow Celestrians. We saw it with our own eyes, so cease your denials. You should be grateful you even survived, but what have you done? You bided your time only to murder your own kin—and she was your own sister!"

Hearing this, Kaelan burst into laughter—a sound filled with immense resentment and sorrow.

"Hahaha... Sister? Her? Is she even worthy of the title? That Vesper was nothing but a Morvane who stole another’s identity. And her mother, Blackeye! Unable to give birth to a Golden Crow with a powerful bloodline, she conspired with her daughter to steal my true sister’s Golden Crow Bloodline. What do you call that? Like mother, like daughter. Both rotten to the core."

At these words, the three men in the air before him were momentarily speechless, for they knew it all. They knew he was telling the truth.

But compared to an heir possessing the Golden Crow Bloodline, none of this mattered. Thinking this, one of the elders lifted his chin slightly and said, "That is no reason for you to murder your own kin. Even if she was at fault, the matter should have been left for us to handle."

"Heh, easy for you to say. All you care about is the continuation of your precious bloodline; everything else is bullshit in your eyes. That trash like you can be counted among the Celestria shows just how unjust the Heavenly Dao is. People like you will reap what you sow, sooner or later."

His words enraged them.

"Insolence!"

A wave of pressure erupted.

Kaelan felt the crushing force.

But he was no longer afraid of them.

’Do they really think I’m still that boy who does whatever they say?’

"Old fools, if you want a fight, then let’s fight. Enough of your damn talking."

"It was my sister who awakened the Golden Crow Bloodline! Don’t you know that? No, you know it perfectly well. But you told me to just let it go, that you couldn’t afford to lose another Golden Crow. Hahaha, how laughable! So utterly laughable! Since you refuse to be just, then I’ll take justice into my own hands."

’Vengeance for my mother, my sister, my people.’ Whenever he thought of them, his mind filled with the image of a field of severed limbs and broken bodies.

’As the Young Master of the Pavonine Clan, I would be failing them if I did not avenge this debt. I was always destined to confront them, so it no longer matters if it’s sooner or later.’

"Sword, come!"

As he stretched out his hand, his Cultivation coalesced. The wind and clouds churned around him as he raised his hand and unleashed a strike at the three men. A wave of golden Sword Qi shot directly toward them.

"Brat... You actually dare to attack!"

"Old fools, go to hell!"

He wasn’t just going to attack. He was going to make sure they never left this place alive.

Faced with the ferocious sword strike, the three men scrambled to defend themselves.

Even as they met the blow, they found the immense power unbelievable.

’He’s this strong?’

’To think this boy possessed such strength.’

But seeing him attack them so directly left the three of them somewhat stunned.

They were accustomed to their lofty positions, where their word was law and their subordinates obeyed without question. They had likely never imagined Kaelan would actually dare to attack them openly. ’Does he have a death wish?’

’It seems this child has truly gone astray, to dare to raise a hand against them.’

’So disrespectful to his elders. This boy has already fallen to the Demonic Path.’

"Kaelan, you have fallen to the Demonic Path! Surrender at once!"

Another one of them said,

"Stop now and return with us for interrogation. We can still reconsider your punishment."

The last of the three adopted a compassionate expression, trying to persuade him with gentle words. "Kaelan, we watched you grow up. You cannot continue down this mistaken path. It is not too late to turn back. We will handle your case with discretion and might even give you a chance to atone for your crimes with meritorious service."

That charitable tone, as if they were bestowing alms, made Kaelan laugh in fury.

"A chance to atone for my crimes? Do I look like a fool? You think I’d go and throw my life away for you?" As he spoke, his tone shifted, becoming chillingly cold. Even his laughter carried an iciness that made one’s skin crawl, as if in the next moment he could grab you by the neck and snap it.

"Haha, the way you tell jokes with a straight face is hilarious. You’re like three toads... no, the resemblance is striking. Golden Crows? I see three toads wearing Golden Crow skin—filthy, stinking, and disgusting. No, no, you’re not even worthy of being compared to toads. At least toads have some medicinal value. Your very existence is pollution."

’Toads?’

’Not even worthy of that?’

The three men were clearly taken aback.

Once they processed what he meant by ’toad,’ their faces turned green with rage.

They knew what toads were—creatures from the fetid ditches of the Mortal Realm, their skin covered in poisonous warts.

They were the dignified elders of the Golden Crow Clan, beings of noble status. To be called toads... In that moment, the three were so furious their beards trembled with rage.

"Toads... You dare call us toads!"

"Outrageous! You have no respect for us whatsoever!"

Kaelan sneered.

"Why should I respect dead men? The dead belong in the ground. No, I’d much rather burn you to ash."

The three men were livid.

"Kaelan, you truly have fallen to the Demonic Path! Today, I shall rid the Three Realms of a scourge like you, lest you bring chaos upon all living things in the future!"

Kaelan was unfazed. "Right, right... everything you say is the truth, isn’t it? I’ve fallen to the Demonic Path? Wasn’t it long ago that you accused us of colluding with the Demokin? So which is it now? Is this what you call justice? Where right and wrong are whatever comes out of your mouths?"

"Insolence! How dare you argue back!"

"Since you refuse to recognize what’s good for you, don’t blame us for what happens next."
