Aster used Rigel\'s flames to clean the blood on the blade of his sword, as he was about to do the same with the corpses, he noticed they all had different grades of burns which originated from the place where Sarina\'s spirit energy cut them.

Some only had a few, while others were completely covered in ash-red burning marks, after a few seconds everything but their bones disappeared, leaving behind skeletons with weird symbols engraved on them.

Aster gave Sarina a questioning look, but apparently, she was as surprised as him, so he left the subject for later, then his attention changed to Kana, although there was a glint of an uncomfortable light in her eyes, she was calm and composed.

Noticing Aster\'s gaze on her, Kana smiled before saying.

"Big brother wouldn\'t have killed them if they didn\'t deserve it".

Aster nodded in recognition, unlike the guards at the entrance of the city who only asked for money and could be considered third grade thugs, these guys recked of blood and although they weren\'t evil cultivators, Aster still noticed their lust filled expressions when they looked at the girls.

Luckily Aster had already "confiscated" their spatial rings since they died, it\'s not like he was stingy person, but who knows some guy might have gotten a fortunate encounter which could end up in his hands someday.

Although the previous situation might have sounded attention catching, that wasn\'t the case, the center of the city was supervised by whoever was in charge, so no one got close to these streets unless they wanted to buy something in the "official" stores with those ridiculously high prices.

So, besides the skeletons that were now laying in the ground which used to be the ones in charge of the stores and the all the guards, Aster and the girls didn\'t draw any other attention.

What surprised Aster was that the city lord didn\'t live in this area which was strongly supervised, but in the east district according to the old man, on the other hand it made sense.

Sharing any kind of relation with evil cultivators or those who work with or for them is a crime in the whole Dragon Legacy Heavenly Quadrant, so if the city lord was dealing with them, he should make sure that no one saw nor heard about it.

Probably even those newly "born" skeletons didn\'t know their boss was making deals with people related to evil cultivators… there is a reward for those who tell on such people after all.

"Mom, can you close the space within the dome, if that city lord can endure not showing off by living in a big mansion and instead leave that old man take the "blame", then I bet he will try to run at the first sign of troubles".

Lilia smiled happy with her son\'s prevision, she has been evaluating his actions since they left the spaceship, without interfering unless he asked for her help of course.

"No problem darling", waves of black spirit energy with red borders leaked from her body but dispersed after reaching about five meters from her.

Or at leas that\'s what most people saw, Aster, Aria, Eris and Mylene saw a thing invisible second dome covering the whole asteroid, it was unnoticeable but within it, Lilia was the ruler.

\'Genesis Manifestation\', thought Aster, but this was not the time to be marveled by it, they instead started flying towards the east area of the city, more specifically to the direction given by the old man.

While they were still floating on the air above the east area, a trace of golden light glowed in Aster\'s eyes.

"I guess those who do bad things are really afraid for their lives", he mumbled, the whole east area was saturated with spirit formations of all kinds, unfortunately annihilation was the bane of them.

Detection type formations could notice any external spirit energy trying to affect them, even the most amateur among rune masters would add one to any defensive formation, the problem was that annihilation dissolved the runes before they had time to activate their respective functions.

What had given Aster headaches at the moment of trying to apply formations in his swords, was also an advantage at the moment of dealing with hostile formations.

A golden flash was shot from Aster\'s hand and a piece of the runes was eliminated from existence, turning the formations into trash.

Then the air trembled as he let out his spirit pressure, the roof of the red house exploded and as Aster expected without even trying to fight back, a figure flew away towards the exit of the city.

Aster snorted, his eyes locked the figure which was flying and his pressure intensified.

"Aghhhh!!!", a loud bone chilling scream echoed through the whole city, alerting all the guards, who felt their hairs standing on their ends just by the using their spirit senses to approach the east area.

Then a figure fell from the sky like a meteor, destroying a couple of buildings in the process, Aster moved his hand towards him and a haggard and miserable figure was brought back as if an invisible hand grabbed it.

"Soul energy, is quite useful to handle things at long distances, unlike spirit energy".

Eris nodded agreeing with his words, which reminded her, she has only imparted Aster one class about rune mastering, but she hasn\'t given him any lessons as a soul cultivator.

\'It\'s a good opportunity to ask about that weird space he uses instead of spatial rings\', she thought.

After a couple of seconds, the miserable and battered figure of a man in his early thirties landed on the ground a couple of meters in front of Aster and the girls.

"Sea of knowledge grade armor, boots and cape, you seem to be pretty loaded for someone that resides in a star cluster where there aren\'t even mortal transcending realm cultivators, what a shame you weren\'t protected against soul attacks", said Aster as he evaluated the man.

Aster and the girls then flew towards the mansion where the old man lives, the man was dragged through the ground all the way, in any case his armor prevented him from losing all his skin, so no one cared about it.

"Thud", a dull sound made the slightly clouded eyes of the old man which was sleeping on his throne to open, he saw the now bleeding due to the impact, figure of the man and a small smirk appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, I guess leaving this world doesn\'t sound that bad after seeing you getting what you deserve… Trevor".

,m The man whose bones were turned into dust by Aster\'s spirit pressure, gritted his teeth, a couple of minutes ago he was the undoubted ruler of a border station which meant his authority in the whole star cluster was the highest.

And now here he was laying on the ground in a miserable state, while the old man who he was sent to cause troubles at the first chance had a mocking expression as if he was looking at him with disdain.

"Enjoy your petty revenge "elder" Tomas, just let me remind you that if I die so does your whole native town", venomously spatted the man.

The old man called Tomas, showed a faint trace of regret but ultimately, he could only lay back against the throne which was keeping him alive and sigh.

"I will apologize to them in my next life, at the very least you\'ll go down with me, it serves that impotent bastard you call father right".

Aster raised an eyebrow, after listening to this little exchange between the dying old man and the city lord, he reached an amusing conclusion, the fate of millions of people and a whole star cluster was dragged to the mud, due to some kind of family feud.

\'Who am I to judge though, the Drage family will pay for all those years of anguish they caused to mom", he thought before saying.

"Old man, normally I wouldn\'t care about this whole situation, but since it seems like my star cluster was affected, tell me who the hell are you and how did a dual path cultivator who reached the Genesis Manifestation realm in both energy and body paths in his prime, ended in such a miserable state?".

This time both the old man and the half dead guy on the ground had surprised expression in their faces.

Specially the half dead man, originally, he thought that it was the old man the one that somehow hired someone to get back at him, but what the black-haired youth just said wasn\'t known by anyone in the Atria family, besides his father and him.

The reason is simple if the clan head were to hear that one of the most talented elders in the family was crippled due to an internal conflict… they would be screwed.

\'Fuck, those bastards from the Lagrae stellar system must have offended someone they shouldn\'t, I have to contact father before…\'

"Aghhhh!!!".

The man on the ground was trying to secretly activate the lifesaving talisman which he hid in his chest, when he felt a horrible burning sensation on his hand, looking downwards he saw a blue flame slowly burning down his pinky finger.

Aster smirked as he shook his head, with his incredibly sharp spirit sense how could he not notice the talisman

"Don\'t worry, you will speak when the time comes, for now, I want some answers about what could be important enough to waste the potential of a whole star cluster".

Among the people Aster met in the Azure Sky planet there were some who had a really high potential, Erick and Wieland Kraft for example, if this little dispute didn\'t scare away merchants, he had no doubt that with resources from other star clusters, there would be star tribulation cultivators.

Although this situation had started to be noticeable not that long ago, it was obvious there was something else behind scenes, probably someone didn\'t want the Rodia star cluster to become strong.

The old man on the other hand was doubting if he should spill the beans, while he hated those who made him end in such a state with all his heart, he was still part of the Atria family, and given the prowess the black-haired youth has displayed he is probably part of the ruler family of another stellar system, and a higher ranked one considering he doesn\'t seem to put the Atria family in his eyes.

So now he had two options, accept his death in silence with all the consequences he knew it would bring, or make a bet.
