Chapter 1300 - Uncomfortable Feeling...

Davis could feel plenty of killing intent brew behind him. He was somewhat surprised by Tina Roxley's outburst that he couldn't help but turn behind to look at her.

Her amethyst eyes were s.h.i.+ning like a gem, reeking with killing intent. She was beautiful with her small, straight nose and cherry lips. Her figure remained mature with her bountiful bosoms' perkiness and curves, while the purple alchemist robe she wore greatly accentuated her a.s.sets.

Davis's heart skipped a beat for some strange reason when he saw her familiar and lovely face, making him wonder why before he noticed the person who was behind her.

Behind, he looked at the little boy, tremble under his gaze.

'Ah, so he had listened to the words I first mentioned before he went to tell her. How cute... but it works for me since she is here...'

Davis was about to open his mouth when Brandis Mercer quickly stood up as a bright red color barrier suddenly enveloped all of them into it.

Davis blinked, "A domain...?"

Tina Roxley was stunned as well. She really didn't think her father would go for the kill. Nevertheless, she instantly moved as a dagger appeared in her hand while killing intent blazed from her eyes.

"Stop!"

Brandis Mercer shouted as a flame wall suddenly appeared between the masked man and Tina Roxley. Tina Roxley became further confused before she heard her father's voice.

"Since you can't swear that you won't harm her, just leave... I will not allow you to have a talk with her."

"I really can't swear because it depends on her answer..."

Davis wryly smiled behind the mask. He stood up before calmly snapping his finger, the tiny domain that surrounded them instantly looked as if it became frail, turning dull before it shattered!

"!!!"

Brandis Mercer retreated two steps back as he felt the backlash, but it was nothing big as he didn't use much force to conjure his fiery domain. His expression rather became ugly, coming to know that the other party was too strong for him to handle considering that he couldn't still sense the other party's cultivation even though he could see that snap carried enough force to destroy his domain.

Tina Roxley froze as the masked man's gaze landed on her while the little boy plunged to the floor b.u.t.t flat as he looked in horror. He fumbled on and on before crying and escaping out of this place.

Davis didn't bother about him, but when he was about to open his mouth, another man appeared in front of him in a hurry while storming into the room, causing him to be annoyed.

"Wait! Esteemed cultivator! Whoever you are, I require you to stop in respect to the name of my Heaven Gazing Sect!"

The middle-aged man had brown eyes, wearing a white robe as well as a mantle that made him seem grand and pompous.

Davis became astonished, wondering why a person from the Heaven Gazing Sect was present here as he saw the talisman that the middle-aged man held, also becoming suspicious as he could not tell if it was fake or real.

"You are...?" He cautiously asked.

"That is what I... we would like to ask, but since you asked first, I'll be polite enough to reply. My name is Aurelius, and I'm an outer sect disciple of the Heaven Gazing Sect..."

A proud expression appeared on his face before he smiled, "I'm a Mystic Diviner..."

Davis's expression became a wonder to behold before his mind clicked as if it connected the dots.

Didn't Elder Seylas back in the Xuan Empire say that Tina Roxley went away with her Master and a mysterious elder? At the time when it happened was also when s.h.i.+rley and Ellia evaded the blockade of the Tripart.i.te Alliance and escaped somewhere.

He had also gained information from a Tripart.i.te Alliance Elder that a Mystic Diviner had tried to track them but failed!

Therefore, who could it be if it weren't for this person called Aurelius!? The time was just too coincidental for him to not be doubtful of this person!

"So you're a grand Mystic Diviner... No wonder you're an outer sect disciple of the Heaven Gazing Sect that allowed us all to know about the impending calamitous Calamity Light. Righteous indeed..."

Davis uttered in a moved tone. He was really moved as he was itching to kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. He felt that if it weren't for him, at least s.h.i.+rley would be with him now, even if he couldn't find Ellia because of her unruly incarnation.

On the other hand, Aurelius took a pompous pose as he felt that the other party finally knew about his grandness. Not only was he a Mystic Diviner, but he was a Mystic Diviner accepted by the Heaven Gazing Sect, one of the four great righteous powers in the Fifty-Two Territories. The two couldn't be definitely compared.

Even though the Heaven Gazing Sect just occupied a mid-sized Territory, that was because it just wasn't hungry for power. Almost every person knowledgeable about the world knew that his power stood at the top along with the Astral Light Sect, Heaven Mandate Temple, and the Vast Sky Emperor Palace! The other three great righteous powers of the Fifty-Two Territories!

Who would dare to offend him when he had this kind of status!?

Even a Grand Elder-level character from the Thousand Pill Palace visited him to curry favor, promising him riches and beauties if he so joins their power as a guest elder. However, he simply kept them at arm's length as he knew how righteous the Heaven Gazing Sect could be that he knew if he got caught doing moral-less and wicked deeds, his life wasn't his anymore.

Davis calmed his emotions, thinking that coming here was worth it. He had also simultaneously constructed a hypothesis that Tina Roxley used this Mystic Diviner to probably affect him during the moment of breakthrough to the King Soul Stage using some kind of method.

Surely, Mystic Diviners learned Karma Laws, s.p.a.ce Laws, and Time Laws so they could cross extreme distances to attack, no? As far as he knew, Karma Laws were mostly about threads, but who said that these threads couldn't be used for attacks? There were possibly other ways to attack as well, so it made sense for Aurelius to have affected him while even crossing such an isolated s.p.a.ce.

Davis now felt like everything made sense, but he felt it was always reliable to hear it from the other party's own mouth.

"I'd like to speak with a Mystic Diviner, but anyways, priorities are priorities. I'd like to speak alone with Tina Roxley over here, so if you two could exit, I would appreciate it..."

Everyone became stunned while Tina Roxley narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

While Brandis Mercer's expression became worried, Aurelius's expression increasingly became ugly. There was actually a strong cultivator after Tina Roxley? What kind of unlucky s.h.i.+t had he stepped on?

"For what reason?" He muttered as his fists trembled.

"I said for you two to exit and leave Tina Roxley alone with me... I'll just ask her a few questions, and if it is satisfying, I'll simply leave her alone."

Both Brandis Mercer and Aurelius couldn't understand what he meant. Was he here to kidnap Tina Roxley? Didn't seem like that, but still, they were incredibly wary for different reasons.

Aurelius suppressed his rage as he pointed towards the masked man.

"I don't know what intentions you possess for my niece, but if you harm her, I'll promise that the entire Heaven Gazing Sect will be upon you!"

Davis narrowed his eyes as he had his Heart Intent active to garner their reactions from the moment he entered. He could sense that Brandis Mercer was incredibly worried but helpless to attack as he didn't want Tina Roxley to be harmed, while Tina Roxley was simply confused and nervous, even curious as to why he would be asking for her to know some answers to unknown questions.

On the other hand, Aurelius's emotions were panicked, enraged, and worried, but there was also l.u.s.t at this moment when it shouldn't be here. Obviously, the latter wasn't pointed to him but Tina Roxley.

'Didn't this already dead Mystic Diviner just say that Tina was his niece...? But he's not a Roxley, nor is he Brandis Mercer's blood brother as their names don't match. So he is either a brother-in-law or sworn brother to Brandis Mercer...'

Davis's eyes flashed red, but because of the mask, they really didn't notice.

Nevertheless, he felt a bit strange about Aurelius having thoughts on Tina Roxley when it should mean nothing to him.

'I feel uncomfortable...'

Davis paid no heed to Aurelius's warning but became confused by his own feelings instead. It made him feel enraged!

'F.u.c.k! I'll first ask her what she did to me and then deal with this r.e.t.a.r.d Mystic Diviner...'

Davis released a breath as he cleared his anger.

"Alright, come with me..." Tina Roxley suddenly spoke.

Davis became taken aback, wondering how this woman could be so bold and brave, but then through a.n.a.lysis with Heart Intent, he could see that she was worried for her people at this moment, wanting to bring him away from them.

Brandis Mercer's expression changed.

"No, don-"

"It's fine..." Tina Roxley boldly raised her head before she turned her body and began walking away out of the room.

Davis followed her outside while both Brandis Mercer and Aurelius looked helpless, the latter absolutely terrified as he felt eighth stage undulations from the masked man. However, he wasn't sure which cultivation it was as it was vague.

Nevertheless, his expression increasingly became ugly, filled with immense rage and obsession.

"Curses...! He better not be after my niece!!!"
