Chapter 1125: Kill Her (1/2)

”We... once promised to marry each other...” Ancestor Dian Alstreim turned his head away.

He lowered his head to look at the sleeping beauty as he reached out his hand but it abruptly stiffened before he reluctantly pulled back.

”It turned out to be nothing but an unreachable dream...”

Davis became silent again. The atmosphere was quite heavy that he was unable to say anything but couldn't leave either. He had to do something about Ancestor Tirea Snow or knew that his life would be in danger.

'This has turned into a difficult situation...'

He inwardly sighed but maintained his silence until Ancestor Dian Alstreim abruptly spoke.

”Back in the days where the Nine Western Territories were still fighting for resources in the now Tripartite Alliance Territory... the Alstreim Family, Towering Cloud Hall, and the Falling Snow Sect were in a loose alliance. We were still enemies who might backstab each other at the right opportunity, and yet, Tirea and I formed a bond that would last us an eternity through many life and death situations.”

”At least, that was what I thought until she returned to the Falling Snow Sect, where she became another person as she forgot me, but I knew something was up and confronted her master. That old hag refused to say anything, but I still believe that old hag had done something to my Tirea...”

”However, I was a mess at that time too... The death of my two brothers who had fallen to the previous Vital Tempering Sect Territory's hegemon, and Tirea, the only person who could console my heart, refused to speak with me, even rejecting numerous audiences, while the Alstreim Family became completely vulnerable.”

”With many things unfortunate happening simultaneously, I was forced into two paths.”

”I had to be daring and kidnap her from the Falling Snow Sect that would prove to be impossible since she was also a Ninth Stage Powerhouse the same as me, not to mention that her master could still perform a suicidal attack. Either that or I should choose to stay as a recluse in the Alstreim Family to protect the millions of lives from external threats.”

”I choose the latter, and the result was as you could see... the current Alstreim Family.”

Davis's brows twitched. Ancestor Dian Alstreim had explained it in a few words, but how could this be so simple?

It sounded like the life and death of the Alstreim Family was decided at that moment! Ancestor Dian Alstreim sacrificed his personal life to protect the Alstreim Family!

'No wonder it is said that he didn't have descendants...' Davis felt a headache.

This matter was huge and impactful than he initially thought.

Nevertheless, wasn't the Tripartite Alliance Territory conquered a thousand years ago? But the war had continued for thousands of years in the past before the Tripartite Alliance was officially established.

So much time had passed, and yet looking at the miserable situation, it seemed as if they still thought of each other.

However, the last time he saw Ancestor Tirea Snow, she acted aloof and didn't seem to bother much about Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

What was going on? He felt confused.

Could it be that it was truly as Ancestor Dian Alstreim said? That Ancestor Tirea Snow's master had done something to her? How is it possible for a Ninth Stage Powerhouse to be done in by that so-called old hag who should be just another, similar powerhouse?

However, he also felt that intense sorrow and craziness couldn't be faked.

'Or, should it be said that Ancestor Tirea Snow has no need to fake it...?'

He couldn't help but break the resounding silence that seemed to be omnipresent.

”Isn't there only one Ancestor in the Falling Snow Sect now? That means her master had died at some point. Why didn't you do something since everything would've calmed down by that time?”

Ancestor Dian Alstreim couldn't help but smile, ”By the time her master ended up dead, it was all too late. It was right around the time when we established the Tripartite Alliance a thousand years ago. Tirea became a complete stranger when facing me that she wouldn't even heed any words I say but would instead stare with hostility.”

”Since I had made the decision to protect the Alstreim Family, there were few little opportunities where I could interact and understand what happened to her.”

”Since fate deemed us apart, who am I to say otherwise?”

”Fate... fate... Is it really something impregnable...?” Davis was angered, but he didn't show it in his expression but his voice.

Why didn't he just say that he was a loser instead!?

”Sigh...” Ancestor Dian Alstreim turned to look at him, ”Davis, do you believe that if the heavens were against you, you could do anything about it?”

Davis frowned, ”I'll try-”

”Try?” Ancestor Dian Alstreim interrupted, ”Try what? Going against the will of the heavens?”

”Going against fate means exactly that... You would be offending the heavens, inviting a calamity for yourself or your loved ones as you'll be incurring karma.”
