“…”
Looking at the Fire Phoenix Clan and Earth Dragon Clan’s entourage in the distance, Davis couldn’t help but wonder how fast these people were.
The declaration of the Candidacy had just happened half a day ago, but they were already here? This kind of speed really made him wonder if he would die running out of breath instead of a battle.
In any case, he figured that the sect would take care of the trouble for him and returned to the sect’s area in an unbothered manner, flying above the beautiful islandscapes with his people. Natalya, Ellia, Tanya, and Tia, along with the Soul Reaper Legion, followed him.
“Fellow disciple Davis Alstreim, you have some guests in the Visitors Hall.”
However, before they could even reach their island halfway, a person intercepted him.
It was none other than Ruven Longstrand, a Law Enforcement Officer of the Aurora Cloud Gate.
Davis smiled as he looked at him, knowing that this person took care of some headaches for him, “Ruven, I don’t want to see them. Tell them to go back.”
The both of them heartily spoke to each other before Ruven Longstrand nodded his head.
“I know. The elders said the same thing to them, but they said that they’re not here to fight.”
“Uh? Not here to fight?” Davis appeared like he heard the funniest thing, “Then what did they come for?”
“That… I’m just a messenger for this incident. It is you who must go and understand what’s going on but don’t worry. Elder Aradiel Furiose would be together with you.”
“Sigh…”
Davis almost rolled his eyes. Since they couldn’t force their way in, were they now trying some soft methods now? How many times would he have to tell them that he has no intent on giving up on Isabella and Shirley?
He felt like they were genuinely courting death, causing him to become inwardly incensed, but he still nodded his head.
“I understand, Ruven. Thanks for relaying this information. I’ll go see what they’re up to.”
“That’s good. I’ll take my leave then as I have a few more cases to attend to. “
“Alright.” Davis couldn’t help but chuckle as he knew that Ruven Longstrand was talking about their expedition to the Mercurial Blitz Ice Valley.
Bribery, robbery and many other small crimes that wouldn’t be punished heavily were committed by the disciples on other disciples and even on disciples from other powers. It was a common scene in any sect, much less the Aurora Cloud Gate.
Ruven Longstrand had just flown past him when he suddenly turned around.
“By the way, you didn’t kill Yulisez, right?”
Davis’s lips curled, “The Frostcloud Sword Empress said that he died to the Unfettered Ice Fiends.”
“…”
Ruven Longstrand had no idea who the Frostcloud Sword Empress was, but after a pause, he nodded.
“I see. That pretty much confirms what we’ve investigated from his family’s Immortal Emperor. Although they have accepted his death, mind you, they would still be antagonistic against you.”
“That’s understandable.” Davis nodded, “But… working in law enforcement must be quite hectic… huh?”
Ruven Longstrand simply smiled and didn’t say anything and left after cupping his hands.
On the other hand, Davis kept smiling as Ruven Longstrand didn’t ask anything about Egon Zenflame. Either the other party didn’t know about that incident, or someone was suppressing this matter to blow up to frame him altogether, and as a matter of fact, since the Fire Phoenix Clan was here, he was getting suspicious over it.
Did he get caught or something? If he was indeed exposed, perhaps he would be exiled, causing him to laugh inwardly.
He wondered when the latter’s elder brother would furiously visit him now. He was also expecting Rai Zenflame, who framed Mingzhi, to show up, but it was unexpected that the Fire Phoenix Clan’s entourage would show up.
Nonetheless, he instructed Natalya and the others to go back safely.
However, Tanya adamantly accompanied him, saying that she had the strength to protect him now.<.com>
Davis was speechless, but he still nodded and took her along while he asked Nadia to go back home and rest.
Nadia abruptly manifested on Davis’s shoulder and gave Tanya a cold look with her purple eyes, causing the latter to shake her hands quickly.
“Aha~ I swear I won’t take your position from you, but-“
“I admit that you’re stronger than me, but it is only for the moment. Fhi~”
Nadia snorted in her small form and jumped over to Natalya’s shoulder, disappearing from everyone’s view.
Her cute, adorable voice and her unwillingness to let anyone other than her take the role of the guardian made everyone smile. Although they didn’t thank her much, they were all extremely grateful to her for her watchful gaze and caring heart.
Tanya also wryly smiled as she turned to look at Davis. The both of them nodded and left together.
After twenty minutes, they finally arrived at the Visitor Hall. The thing was… it was so big and was like a maze that they felt lost there, but fortunately, a receptionist-like person appeared before them and took them to the site.
The disciple working here opened the door for them, allowing them to walk in, but as soon as the door was opened, Davis saw the scene of Patriarch Killian Zenflame bowing his head to Elder Aradiel Furiose.
“Senior, I was so rude to you previously, but now, I would like to apologize for my misconduct. I didn’t realize that you are even older than our Great Ancestor.”
Emanating from his voice was the sound of sincerity and remorse, causing Davis to be stunned as he turned to look around.
Had he walked into another dimension?
“That’s right. Don’t you even know how to respect your seniors? Elder Aradiel Furiose’s power is not what it appears to be on the surface. If elder wanted, he could’ve decimated our declined Fire Phoenix Clan’s land all by himself.”
Davis saw a crimson-robed man berate the Patriarch of the Fire Phoenix Clan, causing him to blink again.
“Aha. Zenflame, your words are too embarrassing for me. That could be true when I was at my peak, but I am nothing more than a dying husk now.”
“How can it be? You’re still as vigorous as a youth.”
Looking at an old man and a young man laughing, Davis took in a breath and shook his head, turning his foot as he gestured to Tanya.
“I think we stepped into another world. Let’s leave.”
Tanya also blinked in confusion, but she still followed him.
“Young Emperor of Death, where are you going after carrying your shoes all the way here? It wouldn’t be nice of us-“
A suave voice resounded, causing Davis to stop before he passed by the door and interrupted.
“I assume you must be a candidate of the Fire Phoenix Clan since you can berate your own Patriarch. However, let me tell you that whatever you have in mind will not come to fruition.”
Davis’s expression was utterly serious as he said his piece. Right now, he was not in the mood to play the fool like them, laughing and talking about the past as he assumed that they were more or less acquaintances, not to mention he was directly called Zenflame and indirectly addressed as Great Ancestor, which gave him some clues.
“I see.” Zenflame’s lips curled ever so lightly, “Is that the same for… even cooperation?”
“…”
Davis’s brows frowned as not even for a moment did he believe what the other party had said. What kind of plan were they concocting now?
“Come. Let’s sit and talk.”
Zenflame invited Davis, causing his gaze to flicker.
“Well. I’ll at least listen to what you have to say.”
Davis entered the room along with Tanya. The both of them turned to look at the side that they weren’t able to see before and saw a lot more people, all Immortal Kings, and Immortal Emperors, drinking and dining on a lavish feast.
