Chapter 1127 Way Back

"c.r.a.p... It was an aphrodisiac my avatar worked hard for me to use..."

"Its effect even applies to Martial Master Stage Experts where few aphrodisiacs affect them. Why did I give it to them!?"

Davis was full of regret as he left the Ancestral Hall.

He was planning on using it on his own nightly affairs but ended up giving it to them. He created them using a few ingredients gifted by the youths and produced three vials. Obviously, he couldn"t use it on Isabella since she was a Martial Sage Expert, but he still could use it twice on the other two.

He was finally free and wanted to spoil his two wives and prepared it, but he now lost one. The only saving grace was that there was enough for two of them to use it.

A few minutes later, Davis finally left the area. Many Grand Elder tried to ask him for the specifics, but they all hesitated, causing him to leave without a problem.

Once he was away, he suddenly revealed a sly grin, "If their relations.h.i.+p goes well, it would be because of me! Ancestor Dian Alstreim would have no choice but to treat me with tremendous respect now even if I remain disrespectful..."

If Evelynn were here, she would say that his evil grimace was showing up.

"In any case, I spouted some nonsense that I felt should be possible... The rest is up to them... If this starts a war instead, I"m escaping from this Alstreim Family with my family and hide away somewhere..."

Davis quickly approached the Purple Guest Palace, not stopping for anything as he flew hundreds of meters above the surface. However, he suddenly slowed down and stopped before casting his look in a direction.

"Your tailing arts is c.r.a.ppy, and your killing intent is obvious. You better come out before I kill you without knowing who you even are..."

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

A blurry figure instantly came into his view in the distance, but it fled. Simultaneously, a soul body manifested right beside the blurry figure and exploded right in front of its face. The explosion was seamless, not resounding at all, but soul force undulations spread, rocking the atmosphere!

That silhouette seemed to lose all mobility as it began to plunge towards the ground. At the same time, Davis looked in another direction and called out, "Nadia!"

A flash of dark light appeared in front of Davis before a ray of dark light stretched into the distance before it burst apart. Nadia unleashed her power with a swing of her hand, and it struck right at the empty s.p.a.ce, the ray of darkness corrupting the unknown.

Davis heard a painful groan while the image of a black-robed silhouette vaguely flashed. His eyes simultaneously went wide, seeing that this person didn"t die from Nadia"s attack, "A High-Level Law Sea Stage Expert?"

"You"ve got good concealing arts, but the killing intent you revealed at the opportune moment gave your presence away, and judging by your exquisite black robes that seem to even have an emblem on it, you belong to an a.s.sa.s.sination organization?"

The a.s.sa.s.sin hovered in the air as he refused to move. No, it wasn"t that he refused to move, but he knew that he was lock-downed by this terrifying woman, the magical beast who shot a cold look at him. He had killed thousands of characters, and yet her golden pupils sent a chill up his spine.

"The Dragon Queen"s magical beast mount..."

He cast a look down and saw that both of his legs were corrupted by the darkness. He moved his hand, and both of his legs were instantly severed. He then dropped the dagger he held as he shot a look towards the target, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with a cold gleam.

"As the reports stated, you"re truly a monster among the younger generation...."

Davis appeared extremely carefree, but once they revealed their killing intent, their targets would lose their head as they would be unable to react to their sneak attack most of the time. However, this youth was precisely able to react and call this terrifying magical beast before he even moved.

What kind of senses was that!?

"My death wouldn"t be in vain..." He couldn"t help but chuckle.

"That way of talking..." Davis narrowed his eyes, "It seems you"re going to self-destruct?"

"The life of an a.s.sa.s.sin is like that..." The a.s.sa.s.sin laughed as his undulations abruptly became chaotic, "This is the Grand Alstreim City, and I know that there"s no escape for me since my legs are severed, and my speed has dropped. Besides, it is impossible for me to escape from this magical beast. So..."

"The least I can do is take you down with me... Hehe~" The a.s.sa.s.sin grinned with a suicidal smirk.

"Master!"

Nadia instantly appeared near Davis and stuck close in front of him, s.h.i.+elding him with her body, about to release a dark barrier. However, Davis reached out his hand and lightly pushed her aside, gazing at the a.s.sa.s.sin.

"I"m afraid that you"re too late for that, Alain..."

"Wh- What!?"

The a.s.sa.s.sin"s eyes went wide, and his heart shook as he heard his name being called out. The next moment, his sight blurred before his eyes went dull, his posture relaxing in a calm manner.

"Which dark organization are you from?"

Davis didn"t miss a beat in asking what he wanted to know, but Nadia turned to look at Davis in shock. There were absolutely no undulations from her master! How did he do that!?

How did he enslave the a.s.sa.s.sin without her even picking up a sliver of an undulation!?

"I... belong to the Coiling Dragon Den..." Alain absentmindedly replied.

"Coiling Dragon Den! The number one and notorious a.s.sa.s.sination organization in the Nine Western Territories!?" Davis"s eyes went wide in astonishment. He knew about them from the records he read in the Ethren Empire"s Imperial Library.

"I expected this, but for me to be targeted this soon..." Davis mused before he quickly asked.

"Who sent you to kill me?"

"I-"

Alain opened his mouth without hesitation, but his speech was cut short before he trembled. His dull eyes suddenly became lifeless before his head drooped, and his body plunged towards the ground as if he became a lifeless corpse.

Davis raised his hand and captured him with his soul force, not allowing him to fall.

However...

"d.a.m.n..." Davis facepalmed as he let out a grunt, "He"s bound by something, like a blood soul contract not to reveal their clients, or was this specifically targeted at me?"

Davis felt a bit disappointed in himself. He felt that he should"ve predicted this scenario with the other party being in a secretive dark power, but he was hasty in wanting to know the answer.

"As expected of a High-Level Emperor Grade a.s.sa.s.sination Organization..." Davis adjusted his mentality and looked at the other a.s.sa.s.sin, who seemed to have fainted from the invisible grenade he sent.

He used his own soul body"s explosion, which sent tumultuous waves of soul force that struck the target faint, and it seemed to have successfully worked since it exploded right in front of the target"s glabella.

He used his soul force to pull him up to his level, additionally slapping him with the seamless soul force that shaped into a hand.

The man shook open his eyes and possessed a dazed look on his face. He looked around and let out a groan of pain, his eyes becoming unfocused. After that, he mumbled some words, but it was all incomprehensible.

"Curse it! He became a r.e.t.a.r.d, or is he acting like one..." Davis rubbed his chin, unable to tell with how chaotic his soul sea was but most likely felt that it was the former.

The explosion of his soul body at such a close range was rather too dangerous that it could instantly kill an Elder Soul Stage, a Fifth Stage Soul Forging Cultivator. On the other hand, he just lost a bit of his soul force and a percent of his soul essence since his soul sea was separate from his conjured soul body as he already reached the Elder Soul Stage.

To be honest, he now knew that it was overkill against this opponent. But, it couldn"t be helped as he didn"t know the cultivation base of these two attackers at first as they kept it concealed until the last moment.

Nevertheless, it was possible that this person"s soul had collapsed, making him become a r.e.t.a.r.d.

"Should I heal him with my life-like energy so that I could know who sent them to kill me..." Davis felt hesitant as he didn"t want to use his trump cards so easily out in the open.

If someone was watching him from a safe distance, they would already know that he possesses a terrifying method to make others his slaves, but in reality, they misunderstood Fallen Heaven"s powers, and besides, two figures were approaching from the distance since the undulations of the battle had already attracted attention.

This was also why he wanted to quickly know the answer to who sent them to kill him.

"Two Grand Elders... It seems like they were half-heartedly keeping an eye on me... probably to protect me... but did the commotion in the Ancestral Hall have their attention?"

Davis saw them arrive in front of him and narrowed his eyes, "Is this the protection the Alstreim Family is capable of giving me...?"

"I apologize, Davis. I"m well aware of our wrongs, but fortunately, you are safe."

There were two Grand Elders. The one who spoke was Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, and the other was an unrelated Grand Elder, but Davis knew him as Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim.

Grand Elder Frazayn Alstreim closely examined the r.e.t.a.r.ded a.s.sa.s.sin with his eyes narrowed. He noticed the tattoo of a snake on his arm at first sight before he managed to identify the person by noticing a few facial and physical features.

"This... He! He is the top-ranked a.s.sa.s.sin of the Coiling Venomous Snake Den, Flame Serpent Slayer!
