Chapter 3641 Forced To Leave?

"Are you all blind? She was here way before them."

A white-robed woman waved her hand, her expression cold. It was none other than Crystia.

A group of thirty Candidates gathered around the crystal mountain that the Earth Dragon Clan temporally owned. They surrounded the place, seemingly confrontational, as all of them had their auras blaring out.

"That's right." A white-robed man nodded his head, "I, Girias, as the Dark Lightning Moon Clan's inheritor can vouch for Miss Isabella. Everyone here knows that she had appeared before the three of them. However, only those with power need to stay. The fact that we're already not evicting her is us giving respect to her."

He appeared to be a human and had a significant jawline that added to his charm, while his eyes were sharp like that of one eying a prey.

"Indeed." Another man agreed, "Miss Isabella, we know you don't have the power to defend yourself. All we're saying is that you should leave and join some other group or look for some Hidden Pagoda that no one has yet to find. It's not like we're stopping you from taking your share of crystals, as that crystal mountain belongs to the Earth Dragon Clan."

"..."

Isabella stared at these people who wished for her to leave.

It would be fine if she was just forced to leave as she understood the essence of the competition but the words they said and the way they looked made her infuriated.

Just calling her by her maiden name was a sign of insult, as though they weren't acknowledging she was married to Davis. In their eyes, it was as though she was someone who could still be courted or, even worse, someone to be targeted and violated because she was a witch who married a calamity.

She doubted that they would go far in this realm as they had their reputation to maintain, but she had no doubt if this were an isolated competition devoid of prying eyes, then they would do everything in her power to make her fall while she was still weak.

She couldn't do anything as her cultivation was suspected to be weak right now. Using her energy would expose herself, but not using it would give her the leeway to have more options.

She couldn't help but smile coldly, knowing that she wouldn't have made the choice if she was the old Isabella.

"If you keep insisting on staying, then we'll have no choice but to make our move. You can prove yourself that way."

"You dare!?"

Crystia roared, her Level Eight Immortal King Stage undulations blaring.

It instantly caused many to retreat a few steps as there were only three such cultivators here including her, which meant only two people would theoretically be able to withstand the attack. Still, they didn't retreat too far, knowing they had the numbers advantage.

Besides, in their eyes, Isabella was someone who must die for her sins and even if not for Davis, she must be eliminated due to her prowess.

They knew they wouldn't find a better chance than this scenario.

"Then let's see who's the first one to disappear. I hope they use an Escape Talisman instead of dying to my fists..."

Crystia glared at them as she held her ground.

Mighty earth dragon aura stemmed from her, causing the inheritors around to feel a mountainous pressure. She was like a threatened dragon, looking to leap at the first person who wanted to test her power. They knew they would be hard-pressed to deal with her, making them hesitate slightly.

Girias eyed the others before he looked at Isabella and smiled brightly, cupping his hands, "Many thanks for your understanding. It is no wonder they say the Divine Emperor of Death is reasonable."

"..."

Isabella's expression didn't change, but she knew they were sarcastically mocking her husband.

Being reasonable also meant being weak enough to swallow defeat and dish out compensation, which was what she was doing right now.

The fact that she brought humiliation to Davis burned her heart with rage, but her lips curled lightly before she walked past Girias and the others.

Crystia clenched her teeth. She would've split into her soul body to accompany Isabella but they were all inheritors, each knowing how to make karmic attacks. If she got hit with one attack, then the chances she would be weakened was extremely high.

Then again, Isabella entrusted her to win the trial of the Fourth Hidden Pagoda, so she felt her hands become tied.

She would only watch Isabella leave, hoping that these hateful fellows wouldn't ambush her.

"Don't blame me for being ruthless if anyone tries to leave the group and tries to follow her."

"Why would we?"

Crystia warned while Girias shrugged.

He looked forlorn as though pitying such a beauty who had to leave.

"Now the numbers are set. As a group, we kill everyone who tries to invade, so form a perimeter. As soon as we finish mining the required crystal units, we'll make our way to the Fourth Hidden Pagoda."

Harmon declared with a cold expression. He was the other Level Eight Immortal King.

The inheritors harrumphed at him, commanding them, but they agreed to get back to mining.

In the distance, Isabella continued to walk away. She walked through the mountain path, shortly entering a sparsely dense forest that led downwards on a slope to the ground. She closely watched her surroundings, careful of the dangers of the Crystal World, as not everything was explored yet.

Those crystal beast carcasses were strange and she didn't know if they appeared anywhere else other than the crystal mountains.

But eventually, she sighed as she looked at the person who appeared before her.

"You dumb woman. Did you really think some of us wouldn't have avatars?"

Laughed a man, his expression fully masked by a contemptuous smile.

Isabella opened her mouth, her lips moving behind her veil, "Girias, are you here to kill me? You do know that I have two Escape Talismans, right?"

"You may or may not have. How many times are you going to bluff, considering how badly you want to hide your prowess back there?"

Girias chuckled, "Too bad for you. In this place, Escape Talismans don't work here. This is the same place I entrapped someone you see, so it would be your deathbed as well."

"..."
