Aster opened the door so that the Oak could enter the room, the Oak in its mini form entered and the first thing it said was.


    "Huh, where is your other mate, the one with the scary ck shield, everyone must hear this since it is really important", said the Oak.


    What the tree didn''t know is that Alexandra hade out of her room and was about to also enter Aster''s room after it saw the Oak enter, since she also had questions for it.


    So, the moment the Oak mentioned she was Aster''s mate, she was entering through the door, it almost seemed to be done on purpose.


    Surprisingly she didn''t say anything, apparently, she already understood that it was hard to make the Oak change its way to speak, that being said she still gave it a cold re as she entered the room and sat on the floor far from the others who werefortablyying down on their beds.


    Aster closed the door behind of him and he also returned to his own bed, where he cuddled with Aria to hear what the Oak had to say.


    "Hoh, so today is the turn of the blue haired one to tend to the alpha, humans are so interesting, how do you decide the order, is it from strongest to weakest, of maybe from the youngest to the oldest or maybe…", if Aster didn''t interrupt the tree, the thing will just keep going, so he did.


    "Say what you came here to say", said Aster, the tree seemed to realize it was digressing once again and then it returned to the main subject.


    "Ah right, it''s about the yin chain links, you surely noticed they weren''t in the bodies of the snake and the falcon as I previously said right?", said the Oak.


    Aster nodded, if not for the fact that the oath the Oak made which stipted that the yin chain links were all for his group, he would have thought the Oak was trying to pull a fast one here, by the way one of the two yang chain links remaining belonged to Aster as well as the Diamond Bone Orchid, also the cial Liger was his.


    In exchange, the second chain link and the corpses of all the spirit beasts belonged to the Oak, with the exception of the cores of the Law Integration spirit beasts, since the tree had no use for them, they were too affected by the ck yin energy, naturally Aster trusted he had the ability to purify them with Rigel''s mes but the Oak had no need to know that.


    Besides those specific things, the rule for the rest was the usual the one who kills it gets it, as for whatever might be in the space where the Liger is restrained, it will be divided in two equal parts.


    "I interrogated the seconds inmand of the snake and the falcon, and turns out their chain links finished integrating with their bodies, because they were on the small side, if I have to say they were links of around 30 centimeters each as most, an eighth part of the size of yours".


    Aster''s eyes glowed if that was true then, the benefit of the yin chain link was probably distributed among the core and the flesh of the beasts, mostly on the core so he can exploit all that yinter, it was a good new.


    But then he frowned, if those two Law Integration finished assimting the chain link into their bodies, then why were they so easily defeated, naturally the girls reached the same conclusion pretty fast, especially Eris and Agnes as they experienced how strong were the snake and the falcon in person.


    "Now that you mention it that bird''s wind was quite crappy, it was forced to use yin radiance way too fast and the negative effects showed too far", said Agnes.


    "Mm, the same applied for the snake, it only focused on defending, both were trying to stall for time as if they were waiting for something to happen".


    The tree nodded at those two''sments.


    "That''s what made me curious too, turns out those beasts were more desperate than what I think… they fed the cial Liger with their own yin in order to help it break free from the cage, the snake and the bird were the weakest so to recover enough to not turn into food for the other two beasts, they turned the chain into nutrients but to their unluckiness the Liger even stole them from some of it using the connection it developed with the yin chain that has been nurturing it".


    "The other two beasts on the other hand were smarter, the nature of their deal with the humans was different, they sacrificed everyone but a few selected people, which totaled around three thousand cultivators, so they didn''t weaken at all, and they still have the chain link inside of their bodies".


    Aster put on a contemtive expression, what the tree managed to discover went along with the personality of the people from the Marsh Domain and the Castle Armored sect.


    ''Heh, that guy was lucky to avoid a disaster only toe present his neck to the guillotine'', thought Aster referring to Renard.


    He then snapped his fingers and the door opened, Renard who was restrained and was thrown into the room in front of his, by Aster, was dragged out by Aster''s soul energy and brought into the room.


    The moment Renardnded on the cold ground, his face paled, he has been praying that the crazy bunch that killed everyone in his team somehow forgot to torture him, but of course those were just the stupid imaginations of a spoiled second generation.


    With a gesture of Aster''s hand, the piece of cloth which was preventing Renard from speaking was thrown aside.


    "What do you know about the ns of the Marsh Domain and the Castle Armored sect, what about the beasts that are helping them?", he asked.


    Naturally when someone like Renard finds itself cornered there is one thing they always resort to and that is their background.


    "Let me go, you crazy bastards, don''t you know who I am, my father is the Patriarch of the Steel Tower sect and I''m also a disciple of the Castle Armored sect, a force that rules over a high-grade Ster System… aghhh!", before he could finish speaking, a ck high heelnded on his hand breaking it on the spot.


    Renard didn''t see Alexandra earlier since she was sitting far from Aster who was in front of Renard, otherwise he wouldn''t have mentioned all that, since he now knew who she was, mentioning Sean Fritz in front of her in such a grand manner, was the same as asking for a beating.


    And, so she did, besides breaking Renard''s hands, she also kicked his face before she returned to her calm usual self, only then Aster continued with the interrogation.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "So, as I was saying what do you know about them?", he asked.


    Renard''s body trembled, previously when he bragged about his backing, he gazed at the numerous beauties in the room, because all of them had higher realms than the guy who was interrogating him.


    In other words, he tried to tempt those women to betray the guy and help him, it has worked him quite a few times since he joined the Castle Armored sect, since everyone with at least a Transcending realm cultivator in their family, knows that high ranked Ster Systems are colossuspared to the middle grade ones.


    But not only he was looked at with disgust, the crazy woman who was also his cousin from his father''s side, broke his hands on the spot.


    ''Fucking bitch, she knew about the Castle Armored sect and found someone to whom she could sell herself in exchange for revenge… damn it, that guy must also be from a high-grade Ster System'', thought Renard.


    In his mind the only way all these strong women, including the two Mortal Transcending realm ones that easily massacred the whole army of two thousand cultivators, were willing to follow someone "weaker" than them, was that he should have a high status.


    "Answer the question, trash", Agnes''s pressure fell on Renard, whose pupils contracted.


    "Aghh no, get away from me, spare me please, I will talk!!!", Renard suddenly went crazy, he started begging for forgiveness in a miserable way.


    Aster raised an eyebrow, he knew that Agnes beat the crap out of Renard once before, so he found strange that he didn''t recognize her previously when he tried to look for trouble with them, but now he understood what happened.


    Agnes actually traumatized this spoiled brat who had never experienced any set back prior to that beating, to the point that he unconsciously blocked the memory, and apparently being attacked by Agnes''s pressure undid it, so he now was having an attack of fear.


    "What a pathetic human, hey Aster what do human males do to the ones who eye their mates, I remember that Crystal Deer butt their heads and then the one who wins gets the woman?", asked the tree.


    Aster chuckled, the situation wasn''t even near to be simr to what the tree mentioned, but he didn''t answer to that and instead he turned to see Alexandra whose gaze has been focusing on him since a while ago.


    "You want it, he''s yours, but first get all the information about the guys from the Castle Armored sect and the beast that is working with them", he said.


    For the first time since they met, Alexandra actually showed a spec of a positive feeling towards Aster, in this case it was gratitude, because she wanted to kill Renard with her own hands.


    He was one of the many that benefitted by the "death" of her father and he didn''t stop there, he also benefitted from the immature Diamond Bone Orchid that the patriarch of the Steel Tower sect stole from her, she hated Renard''s guts.


    "Thanks…", Alexandra didn''t day anything else, she grabbed Renard by his neck and dragged him out of the room, this was a golden opportunity because now that the space is so unstable and that ck yin energy is interfering, the soulmp linked to Renard won''t activate.


    Of course, Aster could have simply Renard with annihtion and the result would have been the same, but Toma''s daughter deserved to avenge her parents, also killing a mere Star Tribtion cultivator who doesn''t have any deep hatred towards him like Renard won''t increase his murderous intent at all.


    He might as well leave Renard in Alexandra''s hands, instead of torturing that idiot, he can spend this little rest to spoil his cute ice princess, is a win-win situation for him.


    The tree noticed Aster''s gaze on it and it knew he won''t be answering its numerous questions about human nature right now, so the tree simply floated towards the door of the room.


    "I''ll supervise the stabilizing of the space that my copies are doing, everything should be ready in a couple of hours", it said as it left.


    Once the tree left, Aster snapped his fingers and the door closed before he turned to see Eris.


    "How is it, can you use the cores of the beasts instead of the yin chain links, or do we need to change the n?", he asked.


    Eris took out a pair of ten meter sized dark blue spherical objects, and then inspected them for a moment before answering.


    "They will work for the time being, but if you want to give that little wyrm the core of the snake, then two hours… no one hour will be the limit, more than that and the cores will suffer damages that will reduce their quality".


    Aster nodded in response.


    "That should work, let''s go with it".


    "Mm", Eris smiled and then she put hands to work, the other girls only saw her hands move at a fast speed as runes stated to appear on therge beast cores, apparently, she was trying to engrave some fort of formation on them.


    Since there was nothing, else Aster could do but waiting right now, he tightened his embrace around Aria and then closed his eyes, he had to see how was the Orchid adapting to the mind space, since he wanted to confirm a few things with that.


    Little did he know that the Orchid won''t be the only "flower" he will be seeing in the mind space.
