Davis walked through the second level and momentarily stopped at the bookshelves where the poison records have been kept.
Making a copy for Evelynn could definitely be done easily, but it would use his time, so he thought of bringing it to Evelynn for her to comprehend. This way, he could save his precious time because why make a copy when you can borrow?
He turned to the patient librarian, who followed him silently all day long and was about to ask when he suddenly felt his spatial ring undulate. He took out a messaging talisman that glowed and heard the voice when he sent his essence energy into it.
“Alchemist Davis, quickly return to the Conferred Queen’s Estate and inform the Conferred Queen’s Protector that the people from Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect are spotted inside our borders!”
“I can only stall them for a few minutes or so!”
Davis’s eyes narrowed as he heard Alexi Ethren’s warning.
He knew that he could not hide a battle of that caliber, so he was prepared to face the consequences. He expected the Alstreim Family to visit him soon but to think that even the Towering Cloud Hall and the Falling Snow Sect wanted a piece of the pie.
“Courting death!” He clenched his teeth and muttered, but it made the poor librarian deathly pale as she felt the killing intent overwhelm her.
The librarian momentarily went dizzy, wobbling around as her legs became limp.
Davis saw her reaction and came out of his reverie, instantly retracting the pressure that subconsciously stemmed from his soul. Her countenance made him calm down.
He slightly felt apologetic to this poor soul, so he threw her a Peak-Level Sky Grade Healing Pill he concocted as an apology before shooting off towards the entrance of the Imperial Library.
His movement was seamless as the wind gently parted from him, giving him no air resistance. His maneuver made it so that the no bookshelves or books near him were knocked or even moved out of place.
As he exited the Imperial Library and exited the Imperial Palace among the onlookers astonished gaze while ignoring the city’s no flying rule, he made his way towards the way to the second level.
But to think Alexi Ethren would warn him…
His heart softened a bit, and the opinion he possessed on him increased.
Alexi Ethren was no fool and realized that the reason why these two peak powers would come here was definitely because of the Million Emerald Vines Calamity’s nectar. He had instantly warned Alchemist Davis, perhaps because he felt indebted.
Davis didn’t know what exactly made him do that, but he was thankful all the same.
At this time, a silhouette flashed beside him and flew together.
“Need my help? I’m prepared to lay my life to return the gratitude I received.”
A gentle yet soothing voice echoed, and it momentarily made him startled.
Reddish-brown hair swaying in the gentle caress of the wind, a fair white complex hidden by a black veil and a black robe.
It was none other than Arianna Woller!
Davis, whose expression was taken aback, smiled, “Don’t you think that your son will be sad?”
“Perhaps…”
“Does he know this?”
“He’s the one who sent me the transmission…”
Davis’s lips twitched.
“Liar, Alexi Ethren would never send his mother to a battle of the level of major powers…”
“…”
Arianna Woller flashed a gentle smile at him, “You know my son well…”
Davis considered his options before just warning her, “Don’t get yourself killed…”
“Of course. I have promised my son that I would take care of his grandchildren after all…” Arianna Woller cheerfully replied like a mother-in-law eager to play with her grandchildren.
Davis’s lips twitched again, almost thinking that she was actually acting like how Claire would act.
They quickly exited the third level and flew towards his estate. By the time they had reached the estate, five minutes have already passed.
Davis and Arianna Woller entered the estate before he thought of activating the Regal Unbending Eyes Formation, which possessed Peak-Level King Grade Defensive Formation and Sealing Formation.
The barrier produced by the activation of the defensive formation could defend against Peak-Level Seventh Stage Experts, but he narrowed his eyes, thinking that activating such a low-grade formation would just make them a laughing stock and damage their credibility as a mysterious yet peak power.
Nevertheless, he was prepared.
He took a formation plate and activated another defensive formation he set up before leaving this estate to the Emperor’s Imperial Palace. He was prepared for whatever he predicted that would come to him!
An earthly yellow light shone above them and covered the entire estate in a barrier.
This was none other than the one of the two Low-Level Emperor Grade Formations he obtained from the four slaves!
The Low-Level Emperor Grade Defensive Formation was the formation he used just a while ago to curb the violent undulations and force of Princess Isabella’s breakthrough to the Eighth Stage.
Although he felt this wasn’t enough, at least, it didn’t tarnish the reputation of the Conferred Queen.
*Whiz!~*
Davis ascended at the sound of air ripped apart and exited the formation through a hole he made in the barrier while using the formation plate. Arianna Woller followed him into the skies, and four silhouettes appeared behind them.
They were none other than the four slaves, the Imperial Protectors who had their wills erased.
*Whizzzz!!~*
Davis looked into the distance and saw that a hole was put into the cloud formation that shrouded the entire second level while two flying constructs entered through the hole the next moment.
At this moment, Davis retook the messaging talisman from the spatial ring and heard Alexi Ethren’s voice.
“Alchemist Davis, they’ve broken into the city despite my best efforts to stop them. They likely knew that they would not be given entry, so they unhesitatingly used force to enter!”
“Don’t worry! With their actions, they have basically offended the Alstreim Family!”
Davis kept looking at the two big constructs that floated through the skies. They were too big to be called a flying boat. They should be called arks.
“Thanks for the information, Alexi…”
Davis kept the messaging talisman inside and mused that perhaps even the Alstreim Family would gang up against him. He didn’t place his hopes on the Alstreim Family. After all, it might be the perfect opportunity to obtain the nectar for them
His eyes flashed with a ruthless light.
Whoever dares to harm, wouldn’t leave this place alive!
As the two big arks increasingly neared as if they knew where exactly their target was, Davis knew that someone from the Ethren City should’ve leaked their location.
But he could understand…
Even after having their cloud formation destroyed, the Ethren Empire didn’t dare to stop the Towering Cloud Hall and the Falling Snow Sect.
Why would those people who stand to gain not leak this information for benefits?
Perhaps, it was the Alstreim Family who leaked the information?
Davis shook his head. There was no way a hegemon would want to share a pie, especially when it is in its Territory.
But he could be wrong…
Then again, there were a lot of intelligence organizations that actively collect information and sell them for spirit stones! Even in Ethren City, there were a few, but he had never visited them before!
As far as he could guess, they might have even collected too much irrelevant information about them!
There were just too many sources for him to determine who leaked the information. In any case, since they came, he no longer bothered and directed his gaze towards the two flying constructs!
