Explanation

"As much as I'd like to feign innocence Mother I'll be completely transparent in the fact that I was breaking the outer region rule however, I can promise you I've never gone further than the beginning of the Inner region at most," King said looking as if he was truly apologetic for his actions.

"That's my... I mean son following rules established by your parents especially your Mother is incredibly important, we do these things for your safety not to hinder your growth at all times we have your best interest at heart," Dante said altering the direction he took mid-sentence feeling the intense glare coming from his wife.

"Exactly with your Cultivation at the time and even up to your current breakthrough in body cultivation excluding your other aspects of cultivation the cusp of the Inner region was pushing it, even if you hadn't run into a powerful beast you could've simply been overwhelmed by numbers due to a pack or other uncontrollable circumstances.

"Also you still haven't mentioned what you've been doing to develop such an overbearing killing intent, not only is it dense it also possesses a hint of a sinister aura which normally only accompanies those who have caused carnage upon large groups of people in form of a massacre.

"Which brings us to another important inquiry, have you ever killed someone, the act itself is not something we'd admonish you for of course because as a cultivator death is something that will accompany you the entirety of your journey, but the circumstances in which that killing took place is an entirely different story, young man," Vanessa said sternly gazing at King with furrowed brows.

'I'm worried that he may have gotten carried away against a mercenary group or local martial sect in the Forest and retaliated a bit too heavy-handedly, I know for a fact my son wouldn't have attacked in full force towards true mortals however he has been venturing in Dierose Forest since he was about 10 years old, it isn't out of the realm of possibility that he's run into the dark side of humanity within the Forest in our world attaining resources even from a child is something many would stoop down to doing.' His mother inwardly thought

'I need to approach this question with the utmost care, I don't want to reveal anything from my past life for the time being at least so I should probably say I have killed before because just killing beast wouldn't explain every aspect of my killing intent, however, the circumstances in which they transpired are also important saying I didn't would be the worst choice here.' King inwardly thought

"I have mother do you recall when I brought you that bouquet of Violet Evergrass Carnations along with a couple of ripe Rank 3 Youth fruits which can be either consumed orally to give off the appearance of yourself in your youth with the length of time lasting longer the lower your cultivation level, or used as a supplemental ingredient in the Rank 4 Return to Youth pill a year ago," King said hoping she genuinely remembered so this story would be more believable.

"How could I forget I was so ecstatic to see my lovely son thinking about me so much that he would offer them to me without even the thought of selling them first, even though I told you I didn't need them since until I reach the end of my lifespan I would have no trouble keeping up my appearance.

"Why do you ask are you saying you ran into some trouble when you acquired those resources that led to you having to take someone's life," His mother said with her eyebrows raised.

"That's exactly why I brought it up at the time I ran into a mercenary group that seemingly had a task to get an exuberant amount of Youth Fruits, or at least that was how the mercenary group leader presented it.

"I simply told them the truth that I wanted it for my mother but I also told them that if they paid me the market value for the fruits I had no problem parting with them, unfortunately, they felt there was no need to compensate a child for something they could simply take from me either prying it directly from my hands or my dead body.

"Which ultimately escalated to an exchange of words to an exchange of fists instead, although I was willing to part with the Youth Fruits you always raised me that fair was fair if they compensated me for it no problem but once they took to arms mercy was thrown out the window.

"After I killed the mercenary group leader the last thing I recall after that is the remainder of the group fleeing then losing consciousness or something similar and when I came to I was covered head to toe in blood but none of it was mine I later read that what I experienced was called a blood frenzy and that it wasn't uncommon for those who killed for the first time to undergo such a thing," King said maintaining a look that showed anguish and despair as if recalling it still caused him to feel uncomfortable.

"It's more prominent in youths for sure mentally taking the life of another is not to be taken lightly it's normally why when the rites of passages are taking in most tribes, clans, sects, and other such establishments an elder is sent to accompany them in the off chase something untoward may happen to them if that situation were to arrive." His father said.

"Why did we never hear about this then we've always had someone accompanying you in the dark to make sure nothing happened to you, although they were only told to interfere if you truly would die otherwise they were to observe and inform us if anything serious were to happen.

"That is without a doubt something I would depict as serious yet we were never informed about it, why is that?" His mother asked

'See this is what I was worried about hopefully she doesn't dig too deep I'm glad I chose to base this on an event that truly transpired although my previous incarnation took a much more amicable approach just giving them a couple of the fruits and mentioning his family background and show the family crest on his robe, not wanting to escalate the situation needlessly. At the very least whoever was observing him at the time should corroborate the story of the mercenary group appearing and hopefully just saying they don't remember what happened to them after that.' King inwardly thought

"Maybe whoever was observing simply checked their cultivations and viewed that the level of threat they posed to King wasn't worth notifying us about if he could deal with all of them while under the effects of a blood frenzy I would venture to say they posed little to no threat to him in the grand scheme of things." His father said

"Why needlessly speculate when we can solve this quite simply, all we have to do is ask Grant what happened it was only a year ago there is no reason a cultivator at his level can't remember something that happened so recently." His mother said while storming out of the room.
