Chapter 1553 - Mine

Davis stopped staring at Thorus Zlatan, almost confirming his suspicions as he witnessed Thorus Zlatan appear somewhat fidgety because of Blood Thorn. In truth, he had been wondering why the Dragon Families hadn't taken action. After all, it was one thing for them to not protect him or Evelynn, whom the aggressors had targeted for some reason, but to not protect Isabella?

That's impossible unless they had something to gain from it.​​

At this point, the only thing they wanted from Isabella was those spatial rings belonging to those elites. They were valid pieces of evidence that Thorus Zlatan, Sarax Orcha, Heztus Ike, and Kyris Domitian would like to obtain no matter what. So, if that is the case, then...

"Answer my questions if you don't want to die like Devil Bane, Blood Thorn. How dare you wicked path cultivators attack us when even the Dragon Families are present? Who gave you so much courage to act like this?"

Davis coldly demanded as he raised his voice.

He already knew who they were because he recognized their undulations. Devil Bane and Blood Thorn chased him back when he captured Elizar Yantra only to feed him to Nadia and Goldcrystal Horned Wyvern in the end.

"Blood Thorn? The gatekeeper who guards the Territory Gate leading to the Flowing Mist Sect Territory from the Poison Lord Villa Territory?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim echoed with disbelief while Ancestor Tirea Snow nodded their head as she pointed at the b.l.o.o.d.y remains on another end.

"Possibly... because I can confirm that was Devil Bane. I recognized his undulations since he practically stopped me from killing the traitorous Elizar Yantra."

"That's Devil Bane and Blood Thorn, alright..." Sect Master Bing Luli echoed, "I recognize them likewise because they thwarted us, investigators, from executing Elizar Yantra..."

"What're the Poison Lord Villa's powerhouses doing here?

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression was cold. He looked around, wondering if there were any other wicked path powerhouses nearby as his senses spread across the Grand Wedding Hall and Grand Alstreim City.

All powerhouses began to scan with their soul senses at this moment, but they and numerous people were shaken as they kept their gazes or glanced at Isabella from time to time. People could also see through the transparent ice wall, their mouths still agape in an incredulous manner.

Did they just witness two Law Rune Stage Powerhouses being defeated, one killed and another one subdued? Moreover, it was both done by Dragon Queen Isabella herself in an instant!?

"...!?"

What kind of strength has Dragon Queen Isabella reached!? They couldn't even garner her Body Tempering Cultivation because she only used her bodily strength to destroy these two powerhouses, but if that was the case, shouldn't she at least be a Mid-Level Martial Overlord Stage Powerhouse!?

Their brains couldn't help but turn senseless at this point, almost making them think that they could go mad from this abrupt revelation!

Blood Thorn kept trembling as he heard Davis's threat. His face twitched, possessing an ugly expression that rejected submission despite becoming a slave.

Right now, he could tell that his life was in this brat's grasp because of the slave seal placed on him. Moreover, being surrounded by other Ninth Stage Powerhouses and this Dragon Queen who slapped Devil Bane to death, he couldn't help but finally nod his head after thinking a lot.

"I will-"

"How dare you evil, wicked path powerhouses step inside to disrupt the joyous occasion today!?"

Thorus Zlatan's angered voice echoed as he moved forwards, intending to come closer to them. The other powerhouses also took a step forward when an imposing voice interrupted them.

"Stop!"

Everyone turned to look at Davis while he kept his lips moving.

"Don't move Stay right there. If you take a step forward, I will a.s.sume that you have collaborated with these wicked path powerhouses to capture Isabella."

His words were calm but there was an extreme threat behind it.

"Brat!" Thorus Zlatan's heart jumped, "What nonsense are yo-"

"Shut up!"

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

Ancestor Dian Alstreim abruptly shot forwards, standing in front of the dragon family powerhouses while blocking the path to Davis and the others.

"Dian Alstreim, what is the meaning of this?" Kyris Domitian coldly asked.

"I want to know the truth of this disruption, so the interrogation will be conducted here, right at this moment."

"Are you mad?" Heztus Ike bellowed, "Can't you see that this wicked path powerhouse could still harm people? Moreover, if we don't bring him away, his wicked path allies might come to rescue him. Do you want your marriage event to end in a tragedy?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes, thinking about the consequences before he harrumphed.

"I don't care. What Davis requires will happen..."

He raised his hands, his blazing flames revolving before his palms as it caused the expressions of the four powerhouses to change.

With the host essentially blocking them, Thorus Zlatan and the others looked at him with threatening eyes. However, Ancestor Dian Alstreim didn't bend his knees nor even retreat a step. He stood ground, looking utterly serious as them.

*Bang!~*

Blood Thorn's face easily caved as his nose broke. Copious amounts of blood sprayed from his mouth as his teeth off to the side.

"For what reason are you here? Who sent you? If you spout lies, consider yourself dead."

Davis's threatening voice echoed as he recalled that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d actually went for Evelynn.

If one could discern his expression, one would see that he cared nothing about consequences at this moment. There was just pure killing intent that was directed at his target.

Blood Thorn's expression trembled. Right now, he felt as if though he already arrived in the underworld.

"I... Don't touch me... If you lay another hand on me, my Poison Lord Vil-"

*Bang!~*

Another kick landed on Blood Thorn's head, making his ear gong while his gaze became blurry from the dizziness.

"... apologize! I apologize, master! I'll tell you everything...!"

Unexpectedly, he quickly caved as he begged in a miserable voice.

"..."

Everyone could see that this Blood Thorn seemed to be cowardly at this moment. However, they were momentarily dumbfounded as they heard the word 'master'.

"That's right. You're my slave now."

Davis rubbed his shoe on Blood Thorn's face, making his skull crack from the sheer pressure he put on him.

"Obediently spit out whatever you know. Why would you wicked path people target my Evelynn and Isabella...?"

Everyone became terrified of Davis's words.

Blood Thorn, a Ninth Stage Powerhouse, became a slave to him!?

They did see Davis crouch and do something to Blood Thorn. Was that it!?

Isabella, they could understand as she was extremely powerful and possessed status but Evelynn. What did she do? Could she have offended the Poison Lord Villa and escaped from there, seeking asylum with the Dragon Queen and therefore was targeted?

They instantly formed numerous theories while Blood Thorn looked as if he finally exhausted all his options that connected to his escape, willing to talk as he moved his lips.

"The Poison Lord requires many women who practice Poison Laws as his cauldrons and master's woman is one of the many women who Devil Bane selected. I swear. I knew nothing about master's woman and was just listening to his words...!"

Davis's eyes were already narrowed in hostility.

The Poison Lord was involved in this? His expression abruptly became calm as he inwardly decided on the Poison Lord's death.

Evelynn, on the other hand, had her expression tremble.

Poison Lord? Wasn't he the leader of the Poison Lord Villa, a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse!? Such a powerhouse wanted her as a cauldron!?

However, her trembling wasn't one of fear, but it was one of anger. She clenched her fists, forming a type of personal enmity that she had never felt before.

To target her, what if something happened to her husband if he wasn't strong? The more she thought about it, the more mad she became.

"I see..." Davis spoke at this moment, "But do you think you can escape responsibility by throwing the fault to the dead Devil Bane? You must be delusional to think like that..."

"Oh no... please... it's the truth." Blood Thorn looked as if he was going to cry. No, he was already in tears, snot and blood, "Master, please believ-"

*Bang!~*

Another kick landed on his face, crus.h.i.+ng teeth as his face became bloodied. Some teeth even stabbed into his skin, truly making him live up to his name Blood Thorn.

Everyone's expression cringed as they saw the gruesome scene.

They momentarily thought Blood Thorn was executed, but looking at him gasp as he came back to life, it was like they saw a ghost as they staggered back in fear.

Blood Thorn's face was now... extremely hideous that they couldn't bear to see it.

Nevertheless, on the other side, Thorus Zlatan was heavily clenching his teeth in panic, thinking of a way to make Blood Thorn shut up and die because at this rate, Blood Thorn was absolutely going to spill the beans of him the next, and people were recording with Imagery Stones like they had gone crazy, not to mention that scene was being broadcasted to the whole of Grand Alstreim City and many other cities.

He felt like he somehow had to step in and ruin this interrogation session.

Initially, he didn't think that Davis's M.a.t.u.r.e Soul Stage Cultivation could essentially enslave a ninth-stage powerhouse even when ripped of their cultivation as the soul is what that matters.

Surely, Davis couldn't have reached Blood Thorn's level yet in terms of soul, no matter how much of a Soul Forging Cultivation genius he may be. However, he suddenly remembered a rumor.

The Dragon Queen's Protector was said to have terrifying soul slave arts. He thought it was just on the level of Mid-Level Emperor Grade, but he definitely didn't think it could cross that. If it did, then Davis being able to enslave Blood Thorn could be explained.

Could it be that the Dragon Queen's Protector taught Davis his terrifying enslaving techniques!?

But how...!? It should be powerful enough to become legacy techniques!

Once he thought like this, it made sense but he also thought back to how Davis called Isabella his at this moment. It was something he wouldn't have noticed since it was said by Davis in a flow which was normal.

"Brat! Did you just say Isabella was yours! Apologize to your master!"

He pointed at him and bellowed, his Martial Overlord undulations billowing towards them when Ancestor Dian Alstreim canceled it out with his own undulations.

"What are you trying to accomplish by disturbing us, Thorus Zlatan?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim coldly asked. However, he blinked, looking at the dragon family powerhouses expressions twist into one of ugliness.

When he turned his head back to see what was going on, he saw Davis holding Isabella's waist from the side, his expression appearing indifferent.

"That's right. Isabella is mine as we've already married. Now that you know, you dragon families can now f.u.c.k off!"

"..."

There was deathly silence pervading in the Grand Wedding Hall after Davis's voice echoed like thunder.
