Chapter 1428 - Heads Will Roll, But...
"Those Yantras..."
Ezekiel Alstreim muttered in hatred before he looked towards Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim.
"Father-in-law, I heard that other than that demon spawn nurtured by my wife, your subordinate and Nora’s subordinate was the reason for a Yantra to be able to plot against the Alstreim Family, not to mention this whole mess...?"
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s expression became crunched in shame before he sighed.
"I have no face left..."
Seeing that he did not deny, everyone nodded, including Davis.
"I see..." Ezekiel Alstreim smirked before he looked at Ancestor Dian Alstreim, "When are we invading them? I also heard that we have two other powerhouses who’ll protect the Alstreim Family while we’re away?"
"What!?"
Grand Elder Elise Alstreim and Grand Valdrey Alstreim both simultaneously shouted.
Two more powerhouses? Who were they!? They were inside the prison for a year, unaware of the events that happened in the Alstreim Family.
Ancestor Dian Alstreim deeply smiled.
"Indeed, you all must know about the local legend of the Viridian Lightning Fox and the human who had transformed into a fey. With Davis’s help, they had become our allies and are now secretly protecting the Alstreim Family from external threats."
Both Grand Elders had their eyes twitch in disbelief. Those local legends were still alive and became powerhouses!? They had no idea, but...
Davis, again!?
How many achievements did he have under his name? No wonder he was treated importantly by the Ancestor other than the fact that they had come from the Forsaken Phoenix Realm.
"As for the Yantra Family of the Flowing Mist Sect, we have enough power to make them regret what they tried to do to us by deviously plotting, but not now. We will get to them in due time."
Ancestor Dian Alstreim shook his head as he spoke, and seeing their expressions turn confused, he continued.
"Make no mistake. Heads will roll in the Yantra Family and even the entire Flowing Mist Sect if they try to stop us but just not at the moment. I already plundered one of their Legacy Artifacts that bolsters their Karmic Luck, so we will bide our time until the Yantra Family weakens more, not to mention that our primary focus is protecting Davis. "
"I see..." Ezekiel Alstreim nodded his head.
"Well, I don’t care about protecting Davis, but for the help he did, I don’t mind protecting him twice or thrice...."
"Yes," Ancestor Dian Alstreim satisfactorily nodded, "You are now the family’s hidden Ancestor. I want you to lay low, and in the meantime, you can spend your time with your wife as you wish."
"Thank you, Ancestor! I am grateful!" Ezekiel Alstreim’s expression became bright.
Therefore, Davis knew that a fight really wouldn’t take place here between the two parties, but if it did, it would undoubtedly be on a life and death platform.
"Davis..." A voice echoed out, making him come out of his reverie.
"Well, I thank you for bringing them back as well but don’t misunderstand. I don’t like your tone. It would’ve gotten you killed. You should be like that when you have enough strength, not when you’re under someone else’s wing..."
He berated, but it also looked as if he were advising that made Davis blink.
"Grandpa..." An awkward voice echoed beside him suddenly.
Everyone turned to look and saw that it was Nora, having a proud yet hesitant expression on her face.
"What?" Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim raised his brows when his expression suddenly froze!
"Davis is not a M.a.t.u.r.e Soul Stage Cultivator but a Soul King..."
"!!!"
Everyone who was not aware had their eyes go wide as their pupils dilated. Even Ezekiel Alstreim wasn’t an exception as his eyes shot towards Davis, his pupils dilating in utter disbelief that bordered on insanity.
Wasn’t this brat just around twenty-five or twenty-six years old!?
"I don’t really want to say this but, he could wipe the floor with grandpa just with his speed alone, not to mention that Claire said that he could transcend a few levels to fight despite being a Low-Level King Soul Stage Expert. You haven’t even fought a Soul King before, grandpa. So..."
Nora’s expression became awkward again before she voiced out.
"Grandpa will undoubtedly lose..."
"What...? You are kidding...!"
Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim’s expression kept quivering. He couldn’t stop it from shaking and even felt like he was losing his footing.
"Grandpa, it’s the truth..." Nero Alstreim naturally called him grandpa, "I suspect he also had a hand in killing the people of the Infernal Lightning Palace. I also underestimated him before, thinking I had the upper hand when I went out with him, but..."
His expression became awkward.
"Of course not. I was at Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage at that point, although I won’t deny that I killed some of them..." Davis smilingly interjected as he downplayed his strength.
However, it still invoked another significant reaction among them.
Davis felt that it was okay if they knew his strength. They wouldn’t do anything funny or play games if at all they tried to think of one. Moreover, after giving up on their grudges and finally learning that he was a Soul King, they would be deeply rejoicing in their decision, thinking that they made the right one.
After all, even if they think he couldn’t possibly kill them, he can easily run around, killing them off one by one. Not even a powerful Law Rune Stage Powerhouse would be able to easily catch a Soul King with a difference of a stage. Nevertheless, these people were truly smart. Not a single one of them questioned the origin of the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin’s aura that he used to bring them out.
Either they were plotting or didn’t care at the moment, but surely, after learning he was a big shot, they should forget all thoughts of trying to plot against him if they even had such a thought in the first place.
Strength was the first and major factor of deterrence, after all. All other things were secondary factors!
And as expected, their eyes did begin to hold respect for him at this moment!
