Chapter 1291 - Blockade Runner

Nevertheless, Davis went back to the topic, "Couldn't these so-called hidden deacons be forced to swear that they aren't here for hostile and malicious purposes towards the sect?"

Natalya smiled as she shook her head, "I just deeply realized that one's oath depends on the solemnity and sincerity they swear with, and if they swear with none of that, the heavens turn a blind eye towards them, meaning the heart demon they receive is easily clearable upon introspection."

Davis nodded his head as he knew this point before lamenting a power's headaches, especially the Falling Snow Sect's. Not only did they have to protect the disciples from external forces, but even themselves as a few people were hiding to grasp the opportunity to kidnap and sell off the most valid and expensive targets like the direct disciple and the new half-disciple or student who seemed to be favored even more.

It looks like Ancestor Tirea Snow was hidden to bait them out, and since they took the bait, she mercilessly killed them.

However, it looks like they targeted the wrong person.

He was smiling but hidden behind it was a rage that couldn't be released because they had already been taken care of...

However...

"So, Ancestor Tirea Snow must know which power sent them. Did she tell you, or do you already have an idea of who the instigators are?"

'Uhh... Don't tell me he's going to deal with them?'

Natalya knew that odd smile of his.

She had never seen him rage before, but she could tell when he asked something like this, it mostly meant he was scheming something, like as if he was going to kill those people. She had heard from Evelynn how once Davis secretly killed three people who badmouthed and degraded her.

Killed for badmouthing? It was common alright, but then, since she was attacked, she definitely thought that he was going to take revenge on the instigators. For that reason, she kept her mouth shut about it and shook her head.

"I don't know..."

Davis narrowed his eyes before she shook his head and let out a chuckle, "It's the Weapon Refining Villa, isn't it?"

"..." Natalya became taken aback, her mouth becoming agape, "How...?"

"Did you forgot that I was the one who saved Tanya from her assailants?"

"But... I thought you didn't know... She didn't tell me that-"

"Of course, it was the enemy who revealed that. Nevertheless, to think that they would target her thrice and target you twice as well, thinking that Ancestor Tirea Snow was away. They've really become bold, huh..."

Davis narrowed his eyes, thinking something was wrong before he asked, "Has the Falling Snow Sect fell into a dispute with the Weapon Refining Villa?"

Natalya shook her head, "No, I don't think so. The Falling Snow Sect always seems serene and peaceful that I could mistake it for being desolate..."

Davis pursed his lips before his eyes slowly went wide, realizing what he felt was wrong.

By all right, Ancestor Tirea Snow should've dealt with the Weapon Refining Villa after obtaining shreds of evidence like these three bold attacks, but in reality, she didn't seem to have taken action yet.

When he thought about what could be the reason, he finally understood.

It was because the Falling Snow Sect could not possibly fight on two fronts!

Ancestor Tirea Snow likely choose to digest the Weapon Refining Villa's despicable attacks so that she can help out the Alstreim Family deal with the Flowing Mist Sect's Yantra Family! If she went on and picked a fight with the Weapon Refining Villa openly, then she would be unable to help Ancestor Dian Alstreim deal with Ancestor Elizar Yantra!

He brought his hand from Natalya to his forehead as he massaged it, feeling an incoming headache.

"Damn, she's so loyal enough to make me feel a bit jealous..." Davis chuckled, feeling that their love for each other that didn't fade away even after thousands of years wasn't just for show.

Perhaps, Ancestor Dian Alstreim might also abandon the Alstreim Family if push comes to shove. If that happened, he really wouldn't blame that guy as he would do the same for his wives.

"What do you mean?" Natalya confusedly asked.

Davis patiently explained while Fiora also listened. She didn't say a word as she began to listen and further listen so that she doesn't stay ignorant about the family's matters.

She had become his woman and became deeply part of the family.

Moreover, she had been shocked to learn that her elder sister was attacked, but her elder sister didn't mention a word of it until now, and even though Fiora knew she couldn't do anything even if she listened to their conversation, she at least wanted to be attentive and not remain ignorant.

"I think... we've rather overburdened Teacher..." Natalya awkwardly smiled after hearing the story.

"Right, even when she finally found happiness, I selfishly tasked her to aid you in training and comprehension while she had her own problems and her man to look after..." Davis couldn't help but feel sorry, but he smiled.

"On that note, I compelled to teach the Weapon Refining Villa a lesson..."

Natalya's heart skipped a beat as she tightly held him, "No, you're not! You're not going to offend a High-Level Emperor Grade Power for Teacher or me. Just because you reached King Soul Stage doesn't mean that-"

"Hehe, even if it isn't for you or your Teacher, I will do it for myself! No one gets away after targeting my women. I will make sure they die a brutal death!" Davis fanatically smiled while Natalya went stunned!

Fiora blinked at his current image, feeling the chill as she felt an ominous aura descend before it simultaneously disappeared.

What was that just now? Killing intent?

She gulped as she buried her head on his c.h.e.s.t again, feeling tiny.

Natalya didn't know what to do as she panicked, feeling like she had to call big sister to convince him otherwise.

However, would he even listen once he decided something like this? Natalya felt not as she once again began to panic.

"Nevertheless..." Davis reached out his hand to clasp Natalya's cheeks, "I'm not foolish enough to not consider as to why the Weapon Refining Villa would become this bold. Perhaps, they might've gotten something that would ensure their survival even after offending the Falling Snow Sect, like obtaining other powers' consent and backing or even giving birth to a new Ninth Stage Powerhouse which still remains a secret, at least until they are counter-attacked."

Davis thought of the latter as they had the same plan with the Silverwinds and Ezekiel Alstreim, while the former came from Ancestor Tirea Snow, finding out the Yantras has obtained a bit of backing from the Poison Lord Villa. He was experienced a bit and could see the intricacies between the powers to soundlessly traverse and kill them without making the world know that he did it.

But that was where he felt a bit confused.

The danger he felt had considerably lessened that he didn't feel that it had that much of a significant threat anymore, but it doesn't mean that the danger wouldn't suddenly increase after he did something like assassinating experts of the Weapon Refining Villa with Fallen Heaven.

In the first place, did the danger even correlate or relate with the Weapon Refining Villa? Davis felt that it was unlikely as he could easily kill Low-Level Law Rune Powerhouses like cutting cabbages now.

Perhaps, he could eradicate the entire Fifty-Two Territories of them and wouldn't even need to pay the price, the sacrifice in the form of soul essence. He was that confident in his chances to take revenge against the Weapon Refining Villa, still feeling enraged that he had to do something about it.

However, he had little time to deal with the consequences that could come from it.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind, causing him to let out a satisfied smile. He couldn't help but why he didn't think of this before he looked at Natalya and deeply smiled.

"Don't worry. I've changed my mind decided that I'm not going anymore..."

"..." Natalya blinked while her eyes were moist as she felt bad that if anything happened to him, it would be her fault.

"Really...?" Her lips quivered.

"Yes..." Davis smiled even more.

Natalya didn't realize that his smile had an even more wicked intent as she sniffled and nodded her head, becoming relaxed.

She buried her head on his c.h.e.s.t and began to rub her tears over him.

"Hey!"

"Hehehe!~"

Davis echoed, causing the two beauties on him to laugh.

Well, he only meant that he was not going and didn't say that he was not going to make a move.

'Well, time to learn about the Nine Western Territories and the surrounding power's grand characters from the so-called All-Seeing Towers... I wonder how much it would cost me... hmm?'

Davis felt like he could let Fallen Heaven take care of the job while he relaxed at home and sent the Solitary Soul Avatar to find Shirley again.

Surely, killing Ninth Stage Powerhouses might invite suspicion from grand powers, but who the hell cared for Eighth Stage Experts? Surely, killing Eighth Stage Experts wouldn't invite suspicion as the Fifty-Two Territories' grand forces might only keep their eyes on the mysterious deaths of the Ninth Stage Powerhouses.

After all, it was said that there were only around ten thousand Ninth Stage Powerhouses in the entire Fifty-Two Territories and keeping an eye on them is way more easier than keeping an eye on hundreds and thousands, or perhaps even millions of Eighth Stage Experts.

Therefore, he was going to make the Eighth Stage Experts of the Weapon Refining Villa miserable for targeting his woman!

At that time, would they even have time to think about women instead of protecting their power from opportunistic people?

Davis, low-key, grinned wickedly as he just imagined the sight of it.

Sure, there might be people who did not want to be malicious, but did they stop their people from doing committing heinous deeds like kidnapping and violating? Heck, they might even be secretly part of it as people of the righteous sects tend to have a dark side to them that they let it remain a secret, only showing their saintly face outside for people to admire them.

Nevertheless, even if there were true innocents, they were equally at fault for allowing pure maidens of the Falling Snow Sect and probably even more powers to be kidnapped at the cost of their ignorance and slothfulness, turning a blind eye towards these heinous deeds when they should be aware!

Davis didn't see any point in showing them mercy like he showed towards a few others who were deserving and repenting of it!

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Davis received a sudden contact from one of his messaging talismans on the avatar's side.

He instantly took it out and saw that it belonged to Elder Havle Alstreim.

He activated as the messaging talisman's glow brightened even more.

"Dragon Queen's Protector! I think we have a problem! A man, seemingly a youth claiming to be from the Zlatan Family, has forcefully passed through our blockade from the north and is currently heading towards the Grand Alstreim City!"

Davis: "..."
