"You don’t have to say anything..." Hadian spoke, still angry with himself for being naive.
Their expressions varied but they were wallowing in self-blame, blaming themselves for being useless.
"My apologies, fellow cultivators..." The feminine voice which echoed before sounded again.
Evelynn spoke at this time and managed to garner their attention a little bit.
Hadian and Mulia both turned their heads to look at her, however, their eyes were viewing her with concern, wondering what would happen to them.
Evelynn floated before them, beside Davis, "I’ve heard about you two from my husband. Especially, Miss Mulia, I just thank you for saving my husband from that vile man known as Elder Severin at that time."
"Although my husband is rude, he is thankful to you and meant no harm. As proof, you can see that he waited till he painted himself as evil and knocked out almost all the Sixth Stage Cultivators before revealing himself."
Mulia was stunned. She turned to look at the fainted Sixth Stage Cultivators and realized that Davis really did do what this woman said.
Hadian also has a sudden bout of enlightenment as he turned to look at Davis, "You did that for us?"
Davis shook his head and pointed at Mulia without mincing his words, "For my benefactor..."
Indeed, after faking the soul seal, he had released the full mastery of the Soul Suppression Art and made the Sixth Stage Cultivators faint till they bled from their nose.
But Mulia just realized another matter, "Wait! Almost all?"
She instantly turned to look at the fainted Sixth Stage Cultivators and spotted the figure she was most worried about now that the present danger had been averted.
That figure slowly stood up and smiled back at her as it waved its hands.
"Uncle Erik!" Mulia shouted in joy. She had thought that her uncle had fainted along with the other Sixth Stage Cultivators but who would’ve thought that he was still conscious!
"Youngster, it wasn’t nice of you to bind my movements." Uncle Erik spoke as flew towards them with a smile on his face.
Anyone who threatened the safety of his family will die by his hands unless they were family too. Only then would he engage in talks to comfort the two concerned parties.
"Since you three are free now, you better escape while you can, throwing away any kind of tracking treasures that you possess or the Tripartite Alliance Headquarters might’ve placed on you."
"We’re leaving then..." Davis warned them. He thought of escaping the scene since it was still a disadvantage for them to stay even a second longer.
He guessed that within a few minutes or so, some other groups who were nearby might arrive, even understanding while his thoughts borderline on the edge of overcautiousness.
He signaled the other three who were behind him and Evelynn as he took off in a direction.
As for the Sixth Stage Cultivators who were fainted on the sandy surface, they might wake up soon or get devoured by some lucky and brave Magical Beasts.
Davis didn’t opt to take the spatial rings of the Seventh Stage Cultivators. Who knows what kind of traps and tracking devices had been set on it?
He didn’t have the time to ask Elder Valoi and take throw each tracking item away as he inspected. The more time he wastes, the more the chances of his family being in danger.
If he was alone, he would take the risk but he was with his family. The thought of proceeding with utmost cautiousness was always entrenched in his mind.
Just when he and Evelynn flew away towards the north, a cry echoed out.
"Wait!!"
Davis turned to stop while Evelynn did the same. They then turned to look at them.
"We were planning to escape, so we have already removed any kinds of tracking objects that they might’ve placed on us. The only item left is this..." Hadian spoke and a token appeared on his palm.
The token was triangular in shape and had three symbols of small shapes at the end of the three edges respectively.
To the left was the emblem of the Alstreim Family. It had the look of a pale human face along with long but sharp ears.
To the above was the emblem of the Towering Cloud Hall and to the right was the emblem of the Falling Snow Sect.
The Towering Cloud Hall’s emblem looked like a miniature castle enshrouded by cloud while the Falling Snow Sect’s emblem had snow falling while encasing a palace.
