"When I scoured the area with my soul sense, I discovered that a tiny part of the Desolate Plains had been turned into an oasis, likely by Ellia, and I also felt faint undulations of a vague but familiar energy remains yet couldn't be sure of it, but it reminded me of s.h.i.+rley Ashton."

Davis paused and looked at her reaction.

Seeing that Evelynn was intent on listening, he continued, "There was a small ice mountain which gave off a Law Manifestation Stage undulations, and the energy wave was so uncannily familiar that I am sure that it belongs to Ellia, and the type of laws exuded from that Ice Mountain in also reminds me of Clara's Ice Laws."

"She cleared the Ice Phoenix Immortal Inheritance?" Evelynn gave her opinion but Davis shook his head.

"Probably King Grade or Emperor Grade Trial. With the power Ellia revealed at that time when she escaped from me, I am more inclined to believe that she had cleared the Emperor Grade Trial."

Evelynn moved her gaze away as she pondered over the matter and so did Davis.

He felt that it was unlikely for Ellia to clear the Immortal Grade Trial and receive the entire inheritance, and even if she cleared, her strange persona might be noticed by the Ice Phoenix Mistress, resulting in her being kicked out just like him.

"Perhaps, Princess s.h.i.+rley had also entered the First Layer along with Ellia, or fought with Ellia or temporarily teamed up to fight against the Tripart.i.te Alliance. These are the three scenarios I could think of at the moment." Davis spoke after a few seconds.

"So this made you think about them?"

Davis nodded, "Mmn, I am worried about their well being because I don't know whether they have escaped, caught or dead."

Davis's mind suddenly clicked. So that's why a formation had been set up to discover those who suddenly popped up on the surroundings.

Maybe Ellia's and s.h.i.+rley's luck was really bad that they encountered a separate group of the Tripart.i.te Alliance as soon as they stepped out of the independent spatial gateway which led to this mess being constructed.

'So the Tripart.i.te Alliance has finally realized that people from the Grand Sea Continent are able to step into the First Layer, except they couldn't find how or where exactly from, huh?'

"You speak about worrying for them yet you easily speak of their deaths." Evelynn raised her brows in suspicion.

Davis simply laughed and shook his head, "I'm only slightly worried about them because Ellia is simply a menace and a destructive freak right now..."

Evelynn turned confused, "What do you mean?"

Davis looked at her expression which said she wouldn't budge from here even if he hid the matter from her, so he promptly started to explain what had happened to Ellia back then.

"... So according to your speculations, Ellia is possessed by her previous incarnation and tried to kill you at that time but Ellia stopped her previous incarnation from precisely doing that..." Evelynn frowned as she spoke since she found it hard to believe.

But then she thought about her husband, Davis, who was also a previous incarnation.

A living example was in front of her, so she found herself inclined to trust in his words somewhat.

'Why would Ellia's previous incarnation want to kill Davis? As far as I know, Davis had treated his personal maid like she was his friend and didn't mistreat it? Why would Davis garner hate?'

'Could it be that he and Ellia were secretly lovers... No, that's not right... Enemies in their past life? That's not right either...' Evelynn suddenly had a strange thought but refuted it in her mind.

There was no conclusive evidence connecting them in their past lives, so them being at odds with each other could only be something that had formed in this lifetime.

'Yes, their past lives are in no way connected.' Evelynn acknowledged inwardly.

At this point, without bothering to no longer explain, Davis suddenly waved his hand as a small vial appeared in his palms.

He sealed their surroundings with his Soul Force while maintaining a cautious att.i.tude and opened the lid of the vial.

Instantly, a transparent layer resembling a face peeked out before it enlarged as it came out of the vial.

Davis looked at the soul body in front of him swelling to its normal shape. A middle-aged man with a handsome appearance entered his view.

It was none other than Elder Valoi, whom he had enslaved using Fallen Heaven's prowess.

He wasn't naked but had the same form when he wore his robes before having his fleshy body destroyed by Princess Isabella.

A soul body would generally be naked but a soul body is conjured as an amalgamation of one's perspective of oneself. Hence, the resulting soul body would have the person's image of themselves at the moment.

Evelynn looked at the eerie sight in front of her as her pupils reflected the soul body. Surprisingly, she wasn't afraid not did she show any signs of nervousness.

Maybe it was because she knew that her husband had this soul body under his control.

"Master, your obedient slave has arrived. How may I be of service?"

Elder Valoi's mouth moved as both hands clasped. He bowed his head simultaneously.

Davis perfunctorily nodded his head, he could feel the connection he had with Elder Valoi through his soul. A connection that was one of master and slave.

Other than that, he felt that with a single action, he could end the life in front of him. He inwardly praised Fallen Heaven's prowess.

Davis's face changed. He no longer wore a look of casualness, "How did you find us?"

The soul body which was transparent slightly shook as it retracted its hands.

"The Tripart.i.te Alliance has constructed a giant Peak-Level Sky Grade Detection Formation that is capable of finding out the life force of humans and magical beasts in a 10,000-kilometer radius."

"Master had suddenly appeared in the radius of the formation along with a few other life forces, so we had to quickly embark and investigate the phenomenon."

Elder Valoi replied monotonously as if he were a puppet.

Davis knew that Elder Valoi had lost his will to his binding, so he wasn't surprised. He quickly asked the question that that had been plaguing his mind, even though he knew the answer to it.

Nevertheless, he had to confirm his guesses.

"Why is there a detection formation constructed in the Desolate Plains?"

"Three years ago, there were two women clad in black and white robes. Their facial features are unknown but they encountered a team led by a Tripart.i.te Alliance patrol team and engaged in a battle."

"The entire patrol team was killed but they managed to send a piece of important information to the headquarters, however, only members with high clearance are able to learn this information."

"In general, it became the reason for the detection formation to be constructed."

Davis's mouth went slightly agape. It was as he guessed... Ellia and s.h.i.+rley did indeed collide with the Tripart.i.te Alliance... But...

What important information?

Could it be that madwoman inside Ellia had revealed some secrets of the Grand Sea Continent to the Tripart.i.te Alliance? Like the independent spatial gateway?
