Chapter 2221 Protecting
"That's why I think..." Founder Alstreim Windstorm took a deep breath once again, "... most of the immortals who are here are looking for descendants or starting anew as Hegemons. Since that's the case, I won't think they would forgive my descendant over here."
He turned to look at Davis, his eyes frowning in worry.
"They won't rest until one of them dies, especially the Blood Reaper Underworld's Immortal, who probably hates Davis to his non-existent bones. Although Immortal Guang had lost his immortal body, his soul is still a significant threat. If we don't do something about it, it's going to become a disaster later on for us."The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.
'There's no need to worry as I'm going to hunt him down once my main body is able to leave, but...'
Davis cast a side-eye at the Founder as he didn't think much about Immortal Guang. However...
'Damn... this guy is lying...!'
His Enigmatic Heart Intent found an anomaly!
Davis couldn't tell how the Founder was lying, in the sense, that he couldn't tell which part was the lie. The reason for entering the Fifty-Two Territories? His back story? Or his worry for him? Or all of them?
Both of them seemed viable to him as they were in line with destruction and hopelessness, cycling to seek hope as the Vacuous Beasts descended upon them. Even he and the denizens of the Fifty-Two Territories watched the Vacuous Beasts streak through the horizons, having likely entered the First Haven World, so he didn't know whether the Founder was lying or not. But still...
'The strings resonating with my Enigmatic Heart Intent felt as though he released some truth mixed with lies...'
Davis couldn't find a hole in that story, but his Enigmatic Heart Intent did find deceit. His affinity that had just raised towards Founder Alstreim Windstorm for protecting him from the onslaught of Immortal Guang fell at this moment for this deceit.
Founder Alstreim Windstorm laughed out loud while Ancestor Cornelia couldn't help but deeply smile as though Davis receiving praise was like praising her.
However, Davis was quite dumbfounded as the concern, and pride Founder Alstreim Windstorm showered him seemed genuine. One moment, the other party said some lies, and in the other, he didn't, wholeheartedly appearing concerned about him.
Davis didn't know what to say again and again to this carefree Founder of his. However, his silence didn't arouse suspicion as they believed he was exhausted.
'Well, his target should be Myria in essence if he came in controlled by that 'bastard'... I'll have to protect her... I mean, protect Ellia...'
Davis could only be satisfied with the fact that at least the Founder wasn't his enemy but was truly trying to protect him. As for the true intentions of the Alstreim Family's Founder, he was planning on probing.
But at this moment, his expression froze, and so did everyone else's.
*Bzzz!~*
Oppressive undulations emerged from the distance, causing their heads to swivel as they looked at the three figures rushing from the far distance. The air seemed chilled yet smooth under the breezy wave of these undulations flipping their hairs.
However, Davis and the others realized that there weren't three figures but four, one trapped inside a water sphere that had floating lotuses in them, pointing towards that figure as they engulfed while that figure tried to turn the watery lotuses into bloody lotus.
"..."
Davis was again speechless, looking at the trapped Blood Reaper Underworld's Immortal, Immortal Guang, in amusement before he turned to look at Ivy Aries and Valley Master Jade Aurora, standing behind a middle-aged woman with clear eyes and a veil hiding her beautiful face.
There was no need for an introduction for him to know that she was the Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal!
