Chapter 1541: Assessing Him

Myria turned to look at the real Lerissa sleeping on the bed without a care in the world. Of course, she was the one who put her to sleep so that she could disguise herself as Lerissa.

"As expected, no one could see through my Illusion Laws."

Her smirk receded before she wore a black robe to cover her features. Looking at the sleeping Lerissa one last time, she removed Lerissa's spatial ring from her finger and threw it at her.

"Don't worry. You'll wake up by next morning..."

Turning around and leaving the building, she left the Grand Alstreim City and headed further east, heading towards the Tripartite Alliance Territory's Territory Gate. However, halfway towards the gate, she stopped in mid-air and looked at the bunch of black-robed people obstructing her path.

"What? Did you think wearing a black robe and hood will make us lose sight of you? Lerissa of the Twilight Physician Hall."

A jeering voice echoed from the masked man as his Low-Level Law Sea Stage undulations vibrated around him.

At the same time, numerous black-robed people appeared and surrounded her.

Myria didn't say anything. She took a step forward and continued to fly forward.

"To leave from the safe confines of your power, either you must have something important to do, or you must be really stupid." That black-robed masked man pointed at her and laughed, "Nevertheless, you must be a virgin and would fetch a good price in the slave market."

Myria arrived near him, but she still flew as if she didn't see them, moving past that black-robed man.

"Hey, I'm talking to you..."

He reached out his hand and was about to grasp her shoulder.

*Crack!~*

The man's hands froze, but before he could even react, his entire body was already frozen solid, shimmering with a cold glimmer under the sunlight.

An icy air rushed behind.

The people behind him abruptly stopped in disbelief before they literally froze like the first person. None of these Eighth Stage Experts managed to see the attack coming, much less react to it. The next second, they all shattered, thousands of icy shards plunging towards the surface and some entering the spatial crack.

The spatial rings that cracked and released their contents were all engulfed by a tiny spatial crack.

However, while all this happened, Myria kept flying without turning back. Only after the massacre ended did she turn to look back.

"What is this? Were they all from the wicked path? This grand marriage sure did invite many snakes and rats."

Myria giggled before she noticed a worried Ellia.

"Ellia, if you're worried about Davis, then there's no need."

"I know, but I still can't help but worry."

Ellia sounded as if she pouted before her brows shot wide.

"Wait... Why are you thinking about him?"

Ellia teasingly asked, but Myria appeared contemplative.

"Well, you know there's something strange about him..."

"What's so strange? It's only natural that he is talented..."

It was when Davis entered meditation and created a domain. At that time, Ellia could perceive his true prowess.

Of course, when Ellia sensed his power, she didn't use any kind of senses to probe him. It was purely Myria's experienced memories she used to estimate Davis's ability and bearing, and she was truly shocked to see him having grown that strong!

Davis couldn't hide his power from a true expert.

Hearing Ellia supporting his talent, Myria rolled her eyes.

"Sure, his Essence Gathering Cultivation that possessed the laws of Blazing Thunderlight Kirin can be explained by him having a bout of fortune and finding a Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal Inheritance or a Remnant Tomb containing its legacy. His abnormal physical body can also be explained using Isabella's Earth Dragon Immortal Inheritance, but what about his usage of Death Laws when he killed that Elemental Bloodsucking Vine Emperor and his current abnormal Soul Forging Cultivation that's almost keeping up with us?"

Ellia paused before she answered.

"I think it's because of his master..."

"I think so too." Myria nodded, "That explains his usage of Death Laws, but that would mean Chu Feng is Davis's master. However, it is also practical to think that Davis was Chu Feng if one took his master out of the equation, but where did Davis gain the strength to kill such powerhouses? Killing a High-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse isn't something possible with his current strength. Even practicing in Death Laws shouldn't constitute that much of a prowess."

Ellia fell silent. It was quite a while before she opened her mouth.

"Do you think he obt-"

"No, such a thing isn't possible." Myria shook her head, "Even you know he isn't capable of handling such a treasure. Otherwise, I don't see why the master of this world would allow such a person like his mysterious master into this world."

"After all, I think the only reason I was even allowed to enter this world is that I had fate with that treasure, not some kind of pity thrown at me, so it should be the same for his mysterious master. Therefore, I still think that Davis's master is Chu Feng, saving Shirley on his disciple's request or something like that."

"Perhaps, he can't enter this layer and somehow sent an avatar that can bend the rules of this layer for a short time instead and made it seem like he died to avoid being divined or backtracked to Davis? In any case, I believe that his master Chu Feng has a fate with that treasure, and there will be a time where we would probably end up battling him for it."

"Mhm," Ellia seemed to agree before she sounded as if thinking, "When I look through your memories, there are many who go by the name Chu Feng but none of them practice Death Laws."

"Indeed, if I have no clue, then it must be a new character born while I was entering samsara again and again. Fortunately, that Chu Feng didn't seem to know me, no, I guess it's better to say that person wasn't able to identify me. Otherwise, I might've been sealed or killed by your beloved's master, only to enter the samsara again and repeat the same process until I arrive at a new life with the same amount of luck you had."

"Mhm~"

Ellia echoed as if she understood what Myria meant.

She would've died for real if they were killed, but Myria wouldn't. Such was Myria's fate, unknown if it was cursed or blessed.

Ellia knew as much as Myria did. By sharing their memories, they were able to understand each other more compared to what others could. They didn't need to explain much and could still understand what they're talking about.

"Well, if we want to know more about Davis's strangeness, we could just ask Shirley..."

"No, playtime's over." Myria shook her head, "I really can't estimate when that spatial tunnel will completely tear open, so we must make haste and increase our cultivation, entering the Emperor Soul Stage."

"Alright. I will abide by my words. I won't disturb you anymore."

"Good!~"

Myria soon left the Alstreim Family Territory, heading to the Mystic Ice Sect. However, she suddenly stopped, looking towards the western direction where the Desolate Plains lay.

"Something like that is here?"

Myria felt the vague undulations of a Soul Emperor. It was tiny, and she felt like no one other than her could pick up something like this in this Territory.

"Well, wasn't it said that there were only nine known Soul Emperors, and one of them who got convicted of his crime escaped, hiding in someplace. That should be Hadrian Cross, and it turns out this is where he hid..." Ellia uttered in a cold voice, "What is he doing there, a bit away from our spatial gate leading to the Grand Sea Continent?"

"Who knows?" Myria pursed her lips, "Perhaps, he was hiding there all along when we first came out of the spatial gate, and we only noticed him now due to soul undulations vibrating. Possibly, he is breaking through or regaining his cultivation back since we know he was injured quite badly..."

Ellia nodded.

"We should kill him after breaking through by ourselves."

"True, wouldn't want him accidentally killing your beloved, but your beloved is rather strong with his abnormal Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation. It would be difficult for this Hadrian Cross to kill him. Moreover, that Isabella is with him. If he got this much stronger, there's little doubt that she has become powerful as well."

Myria shook her head, appearing to acknowledge Davis and Isabella's strength.

"I know, but still, no one camps near my doorstep. We will protect the Grand Sea Continent."

"Sure~ That little lass Mu Bing revealed her Perfect Domain, inviting trouble for our Mystic Ice Sect. Once we become a Soul Emperor, we're practically invincible in this place, so don't worry."

"Mhm..."

Myria giggled as she heard Ellia agree. She looked absolutely unshaken by this discovery before she turned around and returned to her Mystic Ice Sect.
