Chapter 1152 You Lost To...

However, Davis didn't know that he was wrong about Ancestor Tirea Snow coming to help Tanya Frostblight.

Indeed, Ancestor Tirea Snow wouldn't have come to aid Tanya Frostblight even if she had been free in the Falling Snow Sect.

In truth, as Davis once said, Ancestor Tirea Snow was truly suicidal.

Unknowingly, she had betrayed Ancestor Dian Alstreim for more than a thousand years, and when finally she recalled how Ancestor Dian Alstreim came looking for her and how she ruthlessly sent him away without even hearing him out every time after her memories had been sealed, her heart broke.

Ancestor Tirea Snow was unable to digest that she did such a cruel thing after exchanging words to marry him at all costs, even if it meant going against the Falling Snow Sect's rules in the end. She was prepared to even leave or be exiled. However, the end result... it literally tore her heart apart.

After she broke through to the King Soul Stage, she truly became ridden with guilt, a burden that she couldn't overcome even with her willpower that was at the King Soul Stage. It could be said that she didn't feel like living anymore as she came to hate herself for believing in her master's words for more than a thousand years. She deeply regretted not opening the memory seal in her soul sea sooner.

Hatred brewed in her, but since her master was dead, that hatred directly fell on the reason why her master was so cruel to her...

The Falling Snow Sect!

However, she was unable to retaliate because she also loved the Falling Snow Sect. Being able to do nothing, both her guilt and hatred grew without stop as seconds pa.s.sed. She was unable to forgive herself or her master, or the Falling Snow Sect.

Then, Ancestor Tirea Snow unreasonably decided. She decided to name the next successor for the Falling Snow Sect. It was only known to the upper echelon. However, it still ended up producing outrage within the sect as there were still other top-disciples who were more or less equally talented to Tanya Frostblight.

Ancestor Tirea Snow heeded no words and went on favoring Tanya Frostblight for the seat of the next Sect Master. She even handed a distress talisman to Tanya Frostblight in front of the Elders and the Grand Elders. Everyone noticed that it was a genuine distress talisman, and they promptly knew that Ancestor Tirea Snow truly favored her. So they could only shut up at that moment.

However...

No matter how Tanya Frostblight broke the distress talisman or shouted for help, Ancestor Tirea Snow wouldn't have shown up because the other side of the distress talisman simply wasn't her or anyone. It led to no one.

It was cruel, but that was what she decided for the Falling Snow Sect.

Not only Tanya Frostblight, but she made similar arrangements for the entirety of the Falling Snow Sect.

Suppose they were able to survive calamities by themselves, well and good. Suppose they weren't able to, also well and good.

Ancestor Tirea Snow no longer cared about the sect that made her betray her love.

Then, at last, she crazily decided to leave and die somewhere without telling anyone. Anything that happened to the Falling Snow Sect after that wasn't her concern.

That was the revenge she contrived against the Falling Snow Sect. Doing nothing and leaving it to fate concerning the survival of the sect.

However, before she disappeared from the face of this world, she wanted to see her beloved one last time. With her Falling Snow Sect's Nethersnow Mirage Steps and her King Soul Stage Cultivation, she was confident that she could move around without being noticed in the Grand Alstreim City and even its Ancestral Hall.

After all, she wasn't an Ancestor for nothing. She knew how to decipher formations, not to an expert level, but most of it. It was still useful to get into the Ancestral Hall without being noticed, along with the help of her King Soul Stage Cultivation and Nethersnow Mirage Steps.

She managed to see his face. However, it was unexpected that a young man would've discovered her. She was shocked, distressed, and attacked. At that moment, she irrationally felt that she want to die at her beloved's hands. She felt that it would've been a fitting end for the betrayal she had committed.

She didn't hope a single bit that Dian Alstreim would understand her, nor did she think that a young man would be able to connect her thoughts, making Dian Alstreim understand her.

It ended up in a result that was beautiful than she far imagined.

Nevertheless, if Davis knew that Ancestor Tirea Snow's true thoughts were like this as he had imagined, he absolutely would've thought that the Falling Snow Sect's women were crazy. Especially when they fall in love, it seems as if they don't know left from right.

Perhaps, the long years of staying within the Falling Snow Sect teaches them about loyalty, and when they end up falling in love, they subconsciously prioritize loyalty towards their partner over everything else, even if it meant going against the sect?

Davis didn't know the answer to this question. He gazed at Tanya Frostblight and grasped her wrists from pus.h.i.+ng him away, "Calm down. If your Ancestor didn't show up even after this moment, that means she has something pressing to attend."

Tanya Frostblight became taken aback.

"Moreover, your Elder Rain is gravely injured. Bring her back to the Falling Snow Sect at once to be treated..."

"Elder Rain!!!" Tanya Frostblight's expression fell as she quickly rushed towards the hole on the mountain.

When she came out, she carried Elder Rain on her back. Elder Rain's face was truly smashed. The left side of her face was caved and bloodied with blood pouring out of her orifices. She was gravely injured and fainted.

However, it seemed that first aid was already done as the other side of her face didn't seem pale.

Seeing that Tanya Frostblight was looking at him on what to do next, he felt that she must be confused.

"Aren't you going to call your Elders or Grand Elders? Wouldn't that be way faster? Or do you not have the means to call them?" He asked.

Tanya Frostblight shook her head, "One of them must be the cause for this, and if I'm right, they will try to ambush me on the way back if I survive by any chance."

Davis smiled. Indeed, she is smart. He understood that she was asking for his help on the way back.

However...

"Unlikely, why would they try to ambush you when they know that you have the Ancestor Tirea Snow's distress talisman with you? The people who want to get rid of you aren't suicidal but want to enjoy power."

Tanya Frostblight's mouth went agape. She failed to consider this point. She quickly arrived towards the half-headed corpse and took his spatial ring without hesitation, and brought the distress talisman that was stolen from them. She broke it without hesitation.

Once she did that, Tanya Frostblight sighed, "A Grand Elder will be here within five minutes..."

She turned to look at Davis with a complicated yet thankful expression before she spoke, "You should leave. You should not be caught up in this internal mess."

Davis smiled behind the mask. He scanned her with his gaze before stating, "You already lost to Natalya."

Tanya Frostblight became taken aback and blinked. It was a while before she wryly smiled, "I see..."

"Guess I was just wishful thinking I could beat the wife of the Dragon Queen's favorite subordinate."

"What cultivation base is she at now...?" She hesitantly asked.

"High-Level Law Seed Stage..."

"Huh?" Tanya Frostblight let out a sound of incomprehension, "I broke through to the Law Manifestation Stage, even entering the Mid-Level just recently. How can you say-"

She suddenly stopped before she disbelievingly stared at Davis, "What's her Body Tempering Cultivation?"

Last time, she recalled that Natalya was at Peak-Level Silver Stage, the Fourth Stage in Body Tempering Cultivation.

Davis's lips moved in a proud manner, "Peak-Level Martial Ascendance Stage..."

"!!!"

Tanya Frostblight's pupils dilated.

A direct increase of two stages!?

She felt absurd!!!

However, considering that the Dragon Queen's subordinate was this powerful, perhaps, she should've expected this development.

With the few milliliters of nectar bestowed to her as a reward by the Dragon Queen, she was able to step into the Martial Ascendance Stage with the help of unique resources to stabilize her foundation. This was also one of the factors, the main factor that Ancestor Tirea Snow decided to make her the next head.

After all, she became a genius who possessed a younger age when compared to the other top-disciples but was in the Sixth Stage in both Essence Gathering Cultivation and Body Tempering Cultivation, having a grand start than them.

If even she was capable of crossing a mult.i.tude of stages to arrive at the Martial Ascendance Stage, there was no imagining what kind of resources the Dragon Queen must've bestowed her favorite subordinate, Alchemist Davis, who then naturally shares it with his wives as the rumors stated.

However, she didn't understand why the Dragon Queen would favor Alchemist Davis. After this incident, he appeared more mysterious to her... mysterious than the Dragon Queen. He was a man who was able to kill three Eighth Stage Experts like cutting vegetables on a chopping board.

How could such a man be a subordinate?

No, to her, they didn't seem like subordinate and master anymore. It was more like they seemed like equals working together to fulfill some kind of agenda!

However, she knew where to not poke her nose. Besides, she felt grateful for being saved and only wished the best for Natalya.

Tanya Frostblight took a deep breath before she smiled, "I have lost the qualification to be Natalya's rival. To become her rival, I will continue to cultivate hard before I am finally able to challenge her again."

Davis nodded, "You will have to put ten times the effort than before. I am sure Natalya would like to battle you again, but it's time. I'll take my leave."

Tanya Frostblight nodded her head. She watched him fly away before he directly disappeared from her gaze. A few minutes later, she felt mighty Peak-Level Law Sea Stage undulations flaring in the distance. A Grand Elder was already here to protect her.

However, she couldn't help but suddenly feel forlorn.

'Natalya must be blessed by the heavens to obtain a man like him...'

In a few seconds, a white-robed woman appeared in front of her, possessing narrowed eyes as she stared at them before turning to look around the splattered blood and messy mountains.

"Ancestor..." Tanya Frostblight uttered with a complicated gaze.

"Don't call me that. What happened in this place...?"

The Grand Elder looked around, inspecting the area one last time before her gaze fell on Elder Rain. She instantly moved forward and fed her some kind of pill.

Tanya Frostblight didn't stop her. After all, this person wasn't the Falling Snow Sect's Ancestor but a Grand Elder, not to mention that she was her Frostblight Family's Ancestor. Except, it was something of the past as Grand Elder Rosella Frostblight no longer belonged to the Frostblight Family, at least in the open.

Nevertheless, there was no way her family's Ancestors would harm her.

Tanya Frostblight promptly relaxed as she felt safe and started giving out excuses about a powerful righteous cultivator who went out of his way to eradicate evil, all the while remaining nameless.
