Chapter 1426: The True Hope (1/2)

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim had practically frozen like a statue. The eyes of the others were also wide in disbelief, surprise, and excitement. It was only after a moment did Grand Elder Elise Alstreim dumbfoundedly voice out.

”Ezekiel...?”

*Clank!~*

”Elise... I'm back alive...”

Ezekiel Alstreim's voice resounded out. The mask he held onto fell on the floor as he smiled, looking extremely moved to see her beautiful, ever-graceful face as he called her name with a passionate voice.

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's eyes severely trembled. Her heart stirred as tempestuous feelings that she had sealed in her heart rose up like a tide. She could no longer hold herself back as her body began to move towards him without her consent.

She did not fly but ran, her tattered and dirty white sleeves dancing along with her frantic movements until she finally pounced and embraced him as she wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling his warmth swell through her body, seeping into her heart.

”Waah!~”

She gasped and cried as tears began to fall from her face while everyone looked dumbfounded at the scene, not believing their eyes other than a few people who were already in the know.

Ezekiel Alstreim felt deeply fulfilled at this moment. It was like his entire being was being revitalized with her warmth. The loneliness he had felt was being slowly taken away, and her cries made him know that she deeply desired him as he had desired her all these years.

His hands couldn't help but want to embrace her as he reached out.

*Paah!~*

Abruptly, a slap echoed as Ezekiel Alstreim's face swiveled to the side.

”...?”

He couldn't help but feel disbelief before he turned to look at his wife.

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim staggered back as she fell butt-flat to the ground, her expression severely trembling while her hand was in a position that looked like if she had slapped someone.

”How dare you...!?”

She uttered with pure hatred as she looked at her husband, no, an illusion! She turned around and scowled as she stood up.

”Who is the one who dared to show me an illusion like this!? Or is that a disguised person who dares to impersonate my husband!? Whoever it is, we can no longer live under the same sky!!! Whoever you are, step out!!!”

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim became utterly enraged as she screamed like a madwoman.

Only her undulations didn't blaze because her cultivation was sealed.

How dare they!? She was already willing to drop the matter and go her own way, but people here still dared to scheme against her, just to make her want to live again. They showed an illusion of her husband or even dared to have another man disguise as her husband to change her mind.

What's more, they really did manage to get her at her moment of weakness!

She did not expect a person with the face and body of her husband to be present at this scene! Even the voice was exactly the same, deeply attracting her! When she recalled that she could have possibly embraced a random man, her eyes turned extremely cold.

Killing intent seeped through her eyes as she felt that one of them in the crowd had gone too far with trying to convince her to live.

Why wouldn't these people just let her die!?

She looked at Ancestor Tirea Snow, directing her hatred at her.

”Is it you? You're the only one who could show me an illusion like this!”

Ancestor Tirea Snow became taken aback, her eyes blinking in confusion. She didn't know half of what was happening at this moment, and yet, why was she being blamed?

However, looking at this fearless woman, she inwardly nodded her head.

She dared to point at her and ask if she was responsible... It took a certain amount of guts to do that, and recalling that this woman was the one who offended the Aqua Flood Dragon, she couldn't help but think, no wonder.

*Creak!~*

”Old man, you can't just barge in like that... Look, I had so much trouble outside, trying to convince the guardians that it was not an enemy but an ally...”

Davis walked into the Ancestral Hall while complaining to Ezekiel Alstreim, followed by a few other people.

”It's you...”

Grand Elder Elise was taken aback by the emergence of another Davis, but she gritted her teeth as she actually misunderstood again. It was Davis's doing as she initially expected. However, her expression changed when she saw a few more people entering the Ancestral Hall, making her dumbfounded.

Nero Alstreim, Keira Alstreim, and Niera Alstreim entered the scene as their eyes looked around, taking off their masks. This time, another person had their eyes go wide, their entire being feeling like it was electrocuted.

It was none other than Nora Alstreim.

She looked at the two figures whom she was deeply familiar with and another figure who looked like herself. They simultaneously matched gazes, becoming stunned at each other's presence before Nora felt her world crumbling.

No, she felt her world experiencing a massive change!

”Nora, don't say you forgot this creep already...?”

Nero Alstreim wryly uttered, shaking his head as he smiled with a bit of expectation when Nora Alstreim abruptly reacted!
