Path of Absolute Transcendence

"No, Your Majesty; I\'m just representing the entire group. I am not a leader or some kind of spiritual support."

"Whatever, why are you gathered like this, and what is the reason for making such a huge commotion and disturbing my cultivation?" Sebastian asked calmly, but his voice made everyone silent.

The atmosphere began to tense, and Lord Clay became nervous. A lot of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Your majesty, you put the entire capital in lockdown after the incident in the Treasury. The investigation doesn\'t seem to have gotten any clues from us, and you know very well that we aren\'t capable of accomplishing such a feat." Mud paused a little and observed the king\'s reaction.

After seeing Sebastian listening calmly, he continued, "Since it was proved that we aren\'t the culprits, we request your honorable majesty to kindly take back that order. A lot of us are suffering from this order. As a benevolent ruler, I hope you will accept our request."

Mud chose every single one of his words carefully. He first praised the king and portrayed the king as a benevolent ruler who took the suffering of his people as his own.

If the king refuses such a request, it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction among the people.

"Well, you are correct. I don\'t think anything is wrong with your words, but I will not change my decision. If you had a hard time living inside the capital because of accommodation and money, I will personally take care of them and make them free for everyone."

"But Your Majesty, that isn\'t the only problem. A lot of people have personal things in their house that need to be taken care of urgently, so please change your decision."

"No changes will be made. My decision is final, and you aren\'t in a place to advise me." Sebastian said in the ultimatum, and he pressed his aura on Mud.

Mud wasn\'t able to talk since he was overwhelmed by Sebastian\'s aura. But he didn\'t back down. The others in the group followed him; they didn\'t raise their voices but still followed him.

"So you guys aren\'t going to listen to my order?" Sebastian asked while hiding his anger.

"Your majesty, it is not like that; as a wise ruler, you should be able to understand our situation. Please reconsider your decision." Mud got up and struggled to stand, but he still said it with some difficulty.

"Your words may threaten some idiots, but I\'m not like that; if you guys don\'t leave here in this instant, I will kill every one of you," Sebastian said while his killing intent was revealed outside.

The killing intent seems like a mountain pressing on them; it is more suffocating than the pressure released by him.

Seeing them like this, Sebastian controlled his killing intent and waited for them to leave.

But nobody left the place; everyone waited for Mud to make the decision.

"Your Majesty, we don\'t care about our lives; if you don\'t change your decision, we won\'t leave this place." Mud made this decision while breathing heavily.

He was the target of Sebastian both times he released the aura, so he suffered some minor internal injuries.

The difference between the cultivation levels makes it possible for Sebastian to injure him just by revealing a part of his aura.

"It seems I have been dormant for a long time, and you guys have forgotten about my nature. I shall kill every one of you as a warning for the rest." Sebastian said, and he was about to make the move.

"Your Majesty, please stop it. You will have to face some serious consequences if you do that." Lord Clay already guessed the action of Sebastian and advised him.

"Hey Clay, you need to consider your status before talking to me. I will forgive this time; if it happens another time, you will get punished." Sebastian spoke calmly, but his voice contained an endless chill.

Lord Clay didn\'t say anything; he smiled bitterly. He knew the king was just mad now, and his words triggered it.

Sebastian flew from his throne and looked down on Mud and his group.

He waved his hands at them, and after that, a lot of sand storms appeared.

These sand storms engulfed everyone in them. Those who caught up in it were shrewd into pieces; they weren\'t even able to resist.

Some of them tried running and tried flying away, but the storm sucked everyone like a vacuum.

They weren\'t able to withstand the might of nature.

"Your Majesty, please stop your action. We are innocent; we didn\'t do anything wrong." Some of them tried pleading with Sebastian.

"Your Majesty, please stop it immediately. A lot of people have already lost their lives; it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction among the people. Please consider the consequences of your action." Mud didn\'t beg after seeing it didn\'t work; instead, he stated the facts like Lord Clay.

But Sebastian didn\'t listen to any of their voices and calmly watched everyone get slaughtered. He didn\'t have an ounce of emotion on his face.

Soon, the entire place before the royal palace would be empty and quiet, unlike a few moments ago.

There was not a single trace left behind by them, like blood; everything was swept away by the storm before it disappeared.

Sebastian left after that without talking to Lord Clay. Lord Clay watched everything silently and sighed to himself.

Kai also watched everything from a distance.

\'Although I thought he would kill everyone, he did it for real without any hesitation.\'

Kai knew that the king would do this since he already guessed his personality based on his plan, but he never thought of him like this.

He thought that the king would at least try to maintain his image among the public since he had to obtain faith energy from them.

\'Maybe he already planned something, and I just didn\'t know that.\'

Finally, Kai came to the only logical conclusion. The king, who knew how long he planned to nurture that treason, wouldn\'t let his plan fail just out of momentary anger.

Kai\'s reasoning is correct, as Sebastian already thought about the consequences of his actions and also thought of a plausible solution.

Sebastian arrived in his room and sat on the throne. He closed his eyes for some time and opened them.

His eyes glowed a red color, and he vomited some blood on the floor. But he didn\'t mind that, and he stared in a certain direction.

Soon, a ball of blood appeared before him. He took them in his hand and muttered some weird mantras in a weird language.

Soon, the ball glowed eerily. The entire sand spirit tribe felt some weirdness, and soon they continued to act normal without any of that bothering them.

Sebastian fell on his throne, and the blood ball disappeared in thin air.

He breathed heavily like he had done an intense workout.

Sebastian just activated the formation. Since he already put his bloodline source in the formation, he made another to resonate with each other.

After achieving that, he made the entire spirit tribe forget about the existence of those ten thousand people. They didn\'t notice any of it in their memory, and even if they did, they didn\'t have anyone to confirm it.

The only person who remembers the incident is Kai, and that is only because he doesn\'t have King\'s bloodline.

Although this method of controlling people is good, it has a major disadvantage. It needs the bloodline source of the cultivator to activate it every time.

The bloodline source is the core of the cultivator\'s bloodline. Most of them would only have one bloodline source, and higher-tier cultivators would have more sources.

It is also possible to regenerate the bloodline source, but it will take an enormous amount of resources and time.

Also, before restoring the bloodline source, the cultivator will be in a weak period. It was one of the major disadvantages of the method, and it also takes a considerable amount of time to activate.

Sebastian created a formation and decided to recover from his weakness; he didn\'t want to give Kai any advantage just because he didn\'t want to consume some resources.

He knew that Kai must have some kind of backup since he dared to blatantly infiltrate the royal treasury in broad daylight.

\'Why is there no reaction among the people?\' Kai became puzzled.

He decided to personally check to confirm his doubt. Honestly, the sand spirit should have surrounded the royal palace right now in anger and wrath, but that didn\'t happen.

Kai went outside the palace and arrived at a crowded place, but everyone was doing their work without a care.

\'Is it because they are not relatives? No, that shouldn\'t be possible. There must have been some friends and relatives who at least did not participate in the rebellion, so how did they not react?\'

Kai soon thought about the existence of formation. He can easily deduce the king must have used the formation to achieve the current results.

\'I should confirm myself for further clarification.\'

Kai captured one guy took him to an isolated place and used his Will Power on him.

He found traces of the same weird energy in them and concluded.
