Chapter 1072 - Talan Clan's Plans

"Matriarch-" Fatax was about to intervene when Langara raised her hand.

"It's fine," she told him. "You're correct about my soul being consumed by my descendants. I was a pretty strong cultivator before I was forced to send my soul into someone else's body. That being said, my soul was also very strong. However, as time passed, the souls of the bodies I took over began to consume my own soul."

Rean pondered over it for a bit before asking, "Are you doing it on purpose or is it a side effect?"

"Do I look like someone who would allow that to happen?" Langara asked in response.

Rean shrugged his shoulders after that. "Fair enough." Obviously, no one would want that to happen to them, especially Langara, who was a strong cultivator in the past.

Langara continued, "As you can imagine, I'm going to see the fairies because they can help with my condition."

"I didn't know fairies were good at matters of the soul," Rean could not help but say.

Langara then explained, "Well, most people know very little if anything at all about fairies. However, they're indeed a race with strong connections to matters related to the soul. Well, that also happens to help out their ability in messing around with people's karma threads. Or, as some would call, controlling luck."

Roan couldn't help but ask after that, "But how would they be able to help you?"

Langara then continued, "As for Roan's second question. It is as you said. The Clan Head of my Talan Clan knows that I'm quickly losing my power. He wants to squeeze out every ounce of my worth before I'm gone. Do you remember when Volrei told me that the guy wanted to rival the Royal Family?"

Rean and Roan nodded and waited for Langara to finish. "His idea is to force me into the descendants of his side of the clan, even those without a pure enough bloodline. As you could imagine, it would deteriorate my state even further. If I go into someone with a weak bloodline, that body's soul will consume my soul even faster."

Roan understood. "I see where you're coming from. It's not because someone has a purer bloodline that they have better talent. At the very least, not in your clan's case, as your blood and the Graskin Race's blood have mixed."

Rean also got to the crux of the issue, saying, "With that said, he might as well squeeze you dry into some of the best talents on his side. Once you're done, the clan would have a few talents that might even surpass the best ones from the Royal Family. In the future, as long as they're careful, they really might have the strength to rival the Royal Family when those talents grow."

Langara bitterly smiled in response. "Quite pitiful, am I not? I'm the one who started that clan. If not for me, it wouldn't even exist. But now, they want to kill me so that they can have more power."

Fatax then added, "As you noticed, our clan has been very low profile because of the Matriarch. However, this low-profile demeanor is what the Clan Head and the ones on his side don't want anymore. They believe that because of the Matriarch's bloodline, they should rise into prominence."

Rean pondered in silence for a bit before deciding to ask. "You still haven't told us from which race she is."

"This..." Fatax was taken aback as he looked at Langara.

Rean also added, "However, I do know about a few races with her power. The Ascesfe Race and the Ogram Race. Are you part of any of those?"

"Ridiculous!" Langara answered in rage. "Don't compare me with those wicked things. Wait! How do you even know about those races?"

Rean just smiled in response.. Of course, it was all thanks to Sister Orb's knowledge.
