Chapter 1619: Not My Mount (1/2)
Davis remained confused after he heard that the Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition was still taking place after he killed half of the hegemons in the Nine Western Territories. After realizing that he could possibly die when dealing with Soul Emperor Merlight and Zlatan Family's Patriarch, he spontaneously decided to take the lives of many together with him, acting with no hesitation.
The Ancestors of Twilight Physician Hall, Vital Tempering Sect, Flowing Mist Sect: Five Ancestors were all killed by him, and it would come to seven dead men if one also included the Towering Cloud Hall's Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky and Flowing Mist Sect's Ancestor Elizar Yantra.
Davis saw no reason for this competition to take place when two of their three overseers were dead, with the last being the Mystic Ice Sect that remained neutral on the surface.
”What happened to their powers?” Davis couldn't help but ask.
”Due to the ban, the Nine Western Territories remain the same even though only the three of us remain; the Alstreim Family, Thousand Pill Palace, and the Mystic Ice Sect.”
”What happened to the Falling Snow Sect?” Davis's eyes couldn't help but narrow as he looked at Ancestor Tirea Snow.
She was fairly smiling, having a joyful countenance. He saw the beauties of the Falling Snow Sect in the city when he went out, but nothing happened to them, right?
”No, I already told Ancestor Tirea Snow to bring her entire power here on the day you fell unconscious. So their territory happened to become abandoned, but due to the ban, the Territory still belongs to the Falling Snow Sect, at least in namesake. Furthermore, due to the influence of the Four Great Righteous Sects, the opportunistic powers who can claim the Territories with their powerhouses are lying low at this moment.”
Davis appeared a bit speechless.
”I don't understand. Why are the Four Great Righteous Sects going to such lengths to keep the Nine Western Territories stable?”
Was there a big treasure here, or do they merely want to keep the Forsaken Phoenix Realm to themselves? But if it was the case, it was enough that they only concentrate on the Tripartite Alliance Territory, no?
”Indeed, I also feel that it is ridiculous, but as long as it gives us some time to recuperate, I felt that I shouldn't pry much lest I invite some needless trouble.”
Davis couldn't help but smile at Isabella.
”You did great, Isabella. Thank you so much.”
”Erm... I think I can accept that graciously.”
Isabella turned her head away, looking quite adorable yet mesmerizing as she combed her purple hair, inevitably revealing her fair white neck that appeared sumptuous.
Davis intensely gazed at her before he asked.
”Is the Zlatan Family still standing tall in the Golden Dragon Valley Territory?”
”Unfortunately, they are...” Isabella thought for a moment before she answered, ”People are confused as to if any peak powerhouses are remaining in the Zlatan Family, so they dare not make the first move against them, waiting for others to tread the muddy waters first. It is the same for the Domitian Family since Nadia, and I killed their Patriarch.”
”Marvelous!”
Davis couldn't help but hold both her hands, taking advantage of her at this moment as he pulled her into his embrace.
”Davis, no... not now... so many of them are here...”
Isabella blushed as she sent a soul transmission quickly. She quickly separated from his embrace, feeling all shy and awkward, wondering if anyone else had seen it other than Evelynn and Nadia. Fortunately, it seemed like they were still around Shirley and Clara, appreciating and praising them for their efforts.
Davis possessed a teasing smile, but he suddenly grabbed Nadia's hand and pulled her to his side. Her pale appearance was already charming enough, but when she blushed, her beauty was more stunning that both Isabella and Evelynn couldn't help but blink.
At the same time, they were wondering if he was going to kiss her, but then his voice suddenly rose.
”Everyone...!”
The atmosphere that was boisterous became a bit silent as they turned to look at Davis, immediately noticing that he held hands with Nadia.
Shirley's brows raised as she instantly knew what was up that she couldn't help but smile.
”Everyone here knows what Nadia has done for us. She protected us in these times of peril while I was incapacitated, and even before that, she made an effort to protect some of you and this whole palace. While Isabella took hold of the command, Nadia made sure that this place stayed fortified.”
