Lightning Is the Only Way

"Lasar? The Sect Master!?" The Patriarch shouted in shock. They had activated the most powerful Transmission Formation Array, but that wouldn't warrant the Sect Master coming personally. Normally, only some elders would come over.

Gravis waited until Lasar was 80 kilometers away so that he could see what was going on inside the Freya Clan. "Guess what," Gravis transmitted to Lasar while also keeping Marvin and Reginald in the loop, "apparently, I am an invader that lies about his identity to rob or annihilate the Freya Clan."

The two Sapling Stage cultivators still didn't feel Lasar, which made them skeptical. How was Gravis able to notice Lasar while they didn't? The range of their Spirits should be bigger than Gravis'.

A sigh appeared in their heads. "So, it really was you, Gravis," they heard Lasar's voice. He sounded quite tired. "Alright, what happened?"

Gravis scoffed. "So, I arrive here and enter through the front gate. I tell them that I came to repay my debt, and what do they do? They surround me with several people at the Seed Stage, call me a liar, a Warped One, and want me to await 'judgment' by the Patriarch," Gravis transmitted to everyone involved. The word judgment was pronounced with an impressive amount of ridicule.

"And you didn't explain yourself?" Lasar asked.

"Of fucking course, I did!" Gravis transmitted with anger and frustration. "But no~, it's impossible to reach the Seed Stage in only three years. Therefore, I am lying. That guy," Gravis pointed at the Grand Elder, "even attacked me. Shit, I am so frustrated and angry because of all this ridiculous shit!" Gravis basically shouted.

"Wow, Gravis, you need to calm down," Lasar transmitted. "It's obviously a misunderstanding. I know the Freya Clan, and they wouldn't plot something as nefarious as this."

Marvin and Reginald listened to the conversation, and their insides started shaking. They knew the voice and Spirit of Lasar, so they were sure that it was him who was talking to them. The fact that Lasar didn't get angry by Gravis shouting at him showed that he considered Gravis as a friend and someone on the same level as him.

"I know that!" Gravis shouted, "but you know how it feels when someone steps on your bottom line. My lightning is mad and going crazy. The only reason why I can still keep it in check is that I owe them something. This is literally the first time in the Spirit Forming Realm and the second time in total that someone stepped on my bottom line and survived."

The good came with the bad, and his unprecedented closeness with lightning also forced him to adhere to his bottom line.
