Without even stopping to reply or haggle, Princess Isabella shot past him, her expression becoming rather stern.
"This time, I"m not going to let his people die!" Princess Isabella silently swore as she shot towards the entrance while the numerous members of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries who were still alive below, were trying to run for their lives.
They all ran towards the back entrance which was already cleared by Princess Isabella when she killed the c.o.c.ky green-haired man.
Princess Isabella flew towards the entrance of the hideout with her full speed.
With her Martial Master Stage speed, it only took a few more seconds for her to arrive at the entrance of the hideout.
However, what she saw, left a profound impression on her.
A single, bloodied, and battered man relying on his almost waning domain to defend against the onslaught of five transparent domains which threatened to crush him to pieces.
The five men who had unleashed neutral domains, purely to suppress Daniuis, gloatingly watched his miserable silhouette. They had elemental properties within their domains, however, to achieve the feat of overlapping and strengthening the domain with quant.i.ty, they had to retract their elemental properties.
Retracting the properties of the elements in their domains meant that their domains would weaken considerably but with five domains overlapping, it became considerably strong enough to battle against cultivators from higher levels.
Princess Isabella narrowed her eyes. It could be seen that the five men were trying to capture Daniuis alive, even bullying him with gloating expressions in the process.
"Too bad, If I weren"t here, they would"ve succeeded."
*Boom!~*
Princess Isabella who had just slowed down, drew an arc with her body as she jumped above Daniuis"s miserable figure which was holding on to its dear life.
The five men saw the masked silhouette as their scalp turned numb. The feeling was more intense when they saw her clenching her fists as she drew it back.
"That masked woman is the one who killed the Grand Elder!"
*Boom!~*
The five overlapping domains belonging to different cultivators of various levels simultaneously collapsed! The five men spat a mouthful of blood at the same time as their eyes revealed fear!
Their hearts pounded in trepidation as some took a step back.
They had come here without revealing an ounce of information to the headquarters!
Why? To gain contribution points!
That was also why they had opted to capture Daniuis alive. Mostly to torture and ask about the masked group of people who killed the Grand Elder!
But, they didn"t expect that the mysterious group was also here!
"Dammit! Its a trap!" One of them shouted in anger!
They realized that the other two had possibly fooled them by not informing them of this intel but when they sensed that the domains which were active at the end of the cave hideout were no longer present, they turned aghast.
Only then did one of the five realize that the undulations of the other two cultivators which were at the rear end of the cave can no longer be felt, "The other two are dead!"
His words only served to increase the fear in their hearts.
Princess Isabella had a cold expression on her face hidden behind the raven shaped golden mask.
She disappeared from her location and when she appeared, a yellowish golden glow erupted and one of the five men"s head suddenly exploded into meat paste.
Princess Isabella looked at the headless corpse which had its soul disintegrate upon unleas.h.i.+ng her attack with indifference. For these people who deigned to go low, she never had any hesitation to kill them.
The other four men saw their strongest die like his Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage Cultivation was nothing to be scoffed at! They didn"t stay still but simultaneously spread out in an instant.
"Take Daniuis Hostage!"
One headed towards Daniuis while the other two heads towards the place he came from, "Target his family too!"
One of them even tried to escape as he shot towards the hole above!
When Princess Isabella appeared again her strike which contained most of her strength landed on the one who tried to take Daniuis hostage.
*Boom!~*
His whole body exploded into a mess of blood while splas.h.i.+ng towards Daniuis"s lethargic figure.
Daniuis was no longer conscious...
He fell to the ground with *splash* and was silently was swept away by the flooding environment.
The other two had morbid expressions on their faces. They extended their domains again, intending to take Daniuis"s family as a hostage but they suddenly froze.
At the same time, Princess Isabella appeared beside them. Her fists were charging towards them but she suddenly froze.
The two figures suddenly turned stiff as they fell towards the surface. She even saw the one who tried to escape fall to the ground rock that was pushed down before a cliff.
Her expression turned incredulous while her pupils dilated when she realized that their lives no longer were present.
When she glanced at her back, she saw Davis floating there with three paper talismans in his grasp.
The paper talismans quickly burned and turned into ashes as if it marked the end.
Princess Isabella"s eyes narrowed into two slits as her heart palpitated, "Is that what father warned me about? Those paper talismans which could kill without even making a sound or undulations?"
Mark Ruth had indeed warned Princess Isabella to be beware of Davis. He didn"t want his daughter to offend the prodigy and get on his bad side for no reason.
So what if his daughter was strong? Didn"t Davis have a backing which instantly enabled him to kill experts above the Fifth Stage?
Initially, when Princess Isabella saw that the spiky-haired man was instantly killed with that paper talisman, she wasn"t willing to believe and had slight suspicions but when she saw the scene now, it undoubtedly meant that those paper talisman he held could...
"I thought those paper talismans of his could only work against Fifth Stage Cultivators, and at most, Sixth Stage Cultivators. But it also works on Seventh Stage Cultivators? Heavens!" Princess Isabella"s expression was normal but trepidation filled her heart.
However, she also calculated in her heart, "At that time, it was said that Davis was gifted seven paper talismans by his mysterious master to curb the might of the seven empires. During the Grand Sea Continent Meet, it was said that he used two of the paper talismans to kill Emperor Tritor and Emperor Raven."
"Now, he had used three, no four more to kill these people. That means, there"s only one left out of the seven paper talismans!"
Princess Isabella felt that she couldn"t relax. She had seen the might of the paper talismans with her own two eyes now. If that last one wasn"t used, she felt that she couldn"t completely let her guard down before him.
While Princess Isabella stayed silent, Davis used his soul force to grab his Grand Uncle who was drowning in the flooded environment.
The situation was quite dangerous, and even with Princess Isabella being able to kill all of them, it would require some time in which the enemies could take Daniuis hostage or pa.s.s through Daniuis"s cave residence and take hold of his family hostage which will let them fall into a disadvantage.
One had even tried to escape and inform the Tripart.i.te Alliance.
Davis didn"t want that so he quickly used Fallen Heaven to kill them, and their souls were even worse, only at Adult Soul Stage, not worth absorbing and refining to aid in his Soul Forging Cultivation.
"Princess Isabella, get the spatial rings. We"ll leave quickly and have Erik get rid of the tracking objects."
Princess Isabella was about to flinch from the sudden voice but she didn"t, instead, she controlled her body expression as she nodded her head.
Princess Isabella had already given the loot she had picked up from Jawan and the Grand Elder to Davis who then, in turn, gave it to Uncle Erik.
