Chapter 822 Flaws

Davis became a bit disappointed.

Why are they all silent now? Didn't they all like to shout their opinions whenever they got the chance? Shouting that his wife was a poisonous woman? Pointing at him and Natalya that they were a mad couple?

In the crowd, were there none of them who bothered with their wives being taken away?

Sure, he could understand their plight, but would the Towering Cloud Hall disdain itself to waste time on these people? He highly doubted it.

No wonder Halifan looked at them disdainfully. These people lacked a backbone, and even if Davis wanted to give them the basic respect that he could give, he found himself musing if they even deserved basic respect in the first place.

"That's right!"

"What that poisoned fellow said was despicable!"

"To nurture such a character, it is clear who is lacking!"

However, a few hot-blooded ones who seemed to care about their wives deeply still let out a few yells from the crowd.

After all, they did not point out the Towering Cloud Hall.

Davis inwardly nodded his head. There seemed to be a few courageous criticizers in the crowd, and they were smart enough to yell without implicating themselves.

Halifan's facial expression twisted as his pupils shook. His past flooded in mind, and it seemed that he really did things like that! This made him unable to retort as he was afraid that people would point at him and ruin his reputation.

In his nervousness, he forgot these things were all he had done in the Towering Cloud Hall Territory and not the Alstreim Family Territory. Here, no one would recognize him, and even if someone did, the chances to be exposed were less.

"Insolent!!" An enraged shout echoed out as numerous people clenched their heads and closed their ears with their palms. Some even had blood dripping out of their ears.

"Alchemist Davis! Don't you twist right and wrong! How can a disciple's action alone represent the entire sect!?"

"That's right!" Davis instantly smiled, "How can a single disciple represent the will of the Towering Cloud Hall?"

"Then-"

"Don't you have a Law Enforcement Hall? Hand over Baize to them for being brazen and reckless! Targeting the wives of other men is just too sinful, or does the Towering Cloud Hall encourages such acts?" Davis possessed a solemn expression.

"You!?" Elder Towerfall pointed at Davis.

His killing intent brewed in his eyes, but he had nowhere to vent with the Conferred Queen intently observing him. He had already slipped up when he secretly ordered Tanya Frostblight to kill Natalya, so he can't afford to make a mistake again.

He took a deep breath before opening his mouth, "You don't have to remind us. Baize will be handed over to the Law Enforcement Hall after he has recovered. After this, he will be sure to reflect upon his actions."

Davis shook his head and applauded, "The Towering Cloud Hall is indeed righteous..."

"Hmph! We are, of course, in the Righteous Path! Don't put us together with those people from the Vile Path!" Elder Towerfall coldly spoke.

Davis's eyes lit up as he heard the two in unfamiliar terms, but he wasn't surprised. Righteous Path and the Vile Path were like the two sides of a coin in the world of cultivators. It was almost present everywhere.

In the Grand Sea Continent, most people from the Tritor Empire could be said to be from the Vile Path. After all, the cultivation techniques and manuals they used required the sacrifice of their own conscience.

However, in the First Layer, he has yet to meet people from the Vile Path.

For example, most of the cultivators from the Poison Lord Villa Territory can be considered as people from the Vile Path. For this reason alone, Evelynn was asked by Elder Enye if she was someone from that Territory.

Nevertheless, it wasn't as if there were irreconcilable differences between the Righteous Path and the Vile Path. The cultivators who follow these two paths mostly stayed away from each other as much as possible. However, if a battle erupted between them, it would most likely be a life and death battle. After all, the Vile Path possesses no conscience. They never held back and struck with ruthless momentum to kill!

For this reason, the Righteous Path also never held back when they met the Vile Path.

"The Towering Cloud Hall is righteous!" Halifan abruptly spoke.

"As for Baize's character, his temperament is fueled by the fire-attributed Body Tempering Cultivation Manual he cultivated. Hence, it is unavoidable that he would feel l.u.s.t as the fire attribute continuously provokes his inner yang..."

"However, I can tell that he was just teasing, but it was your wife who went overboard by saying that he could try courting her. It was your wife, Evelynn, who seduced him into taking action."

"Indeed, she's nothing but a poisonous woman..." Halifan sneered.

For some reason, even though Davis already thought of a counter speech, he became sullen and irritable. He could ignore this and roast him with his words, but he felt his killing intent uncontrollably rise!

"Whether I have seduced him or not is something that is clear to everyone..." A melodious voice echoed in the martial arena.

Davis became startled before he slightly shook his head.

The crowd all felt a chill as they recalled how this woman made Baize look miserable. Was that seducing? Clearly not...

It was more like provoking the woman but not having the skill to block a kick to the family jewels. It was obvious that the woman was the one who reciprocated the provocation. It wasn't as if they were blind, but none spoke up after being reprimanded by Elder Towerfall as their ears were already bleeding.

"Ah!" Davis clapped his hand with his palm, "I finally understand!"

"Baize is either completely numb or becomes numb sometimes because he trained in a fire-attributed Body Tempering Cultivation Manual! It also explains why he failed to detect the poison spreading in his face!"

"Heh, it's obvious that either that core disciple of yours doesn't even know the method to circulate properly or-"

"How insolent of you!? You dare say that our Towering Cloud Hall's Body Tempering Cultivation Manuals are defective!?" Halifan raged, but in his rage-filled appearance was a certain emotion that appeared.

It was glee; that Alchemist Davis finally fell into a trap.

To criticize the foundations of a sect is no different than courting death. No sect would allow their cultivation manuals to be subjected to criticism as that would be an incredible loss of face!

"Haha, I didn't say that, but you did!" Davis chuckled.

"I don't know what kind of side-effects Baize's cultivation manual possesses, but it is clear that it is trash for it to numb sensations!"

"You-"

"What you!? Look at your short brown hair. Is it even growing? Don't you sometimes see strands of your hair in your pillow? I say that it is a defect of the body tempering cultivation manual you train in!" Davis laughed as he pointed.

Halifan became slightly taken aback before he instinctively touched his own head. Clenching the hair to check and also prove that his cultivation manual was not defective, he pulled without much force.

When he looked at this palm, there were five or six strands of hair!

Halifan's eyes went wide before his eyes trembled, and his body shook like an earthquake! He recalled what Alchemist Davis said and remembered that he was losing hair for these few years while his hair growth spurt wasn't intense. A junior sister also gifted him a remedy pill for hair growth, but he even disdained to glance at it and never spoke with her again.

But now...

Halifan's pupils shook in terror!
