Audrey's mind was muddled until she officially entered the domain.

"All members of the Davis family have been cursed from birth. Any member of the Davis family who disobeys the orders of the ancestral hall will be sentenced to death.

​​

"The reason why I called all of you to the ancestral hall of the Davis family is to protect your lives. Audrey, you need to know how weak your father's strength is on his own."

The demon-like murmurs of Houston still reverberated in Audrey's ears.

The so-called domain was nothing more than a set of arrays passed down from generation to generation by the Davis family.

Hidden within this set of arrays were the good wishes of the distant founder of the Davis family to the current generation of the Davis family, as well as countless rare and precious treasures. What Audrey needed to obtain was an ancient book within the array -- Sword Arrow.

According to legends, the founder of the Davis family had relied on this ancient set of sword techniques to lead the Davis family toward victory, establishing the status of the Davis family in Spark City.

However, for some reason, the ancestor himself did not wish to pass down this sword technique.

The Davis family had become even weaker in the past few years. They had to make some changes.

However, no one in the entire family met the standards, except for Audrey.

Audrey took a deep breath. When she turned around, she realized that she was looking at a ball of fog.

Layers of fog covered the road ahead. She could not even see her own fingers.

A flower floated down from the sky, but there was not a single tree here.

Audrey frowned and used all her magic to keep watch for herself.

This place... is really too strange.

...

"You're letting Audrey go to the domain? You're all crazy --" Calder was furious, he wanted to break free from the rope that bound him, but he did not have the strength to do so. "For so many years, no one has truly reached the domain. No one knows what that place is."

The elders sneered. "Calder, you've been the patriarch for so many years. Don't you know that? You relied on Audrey's mother to become the patriarch, but what about now? Do you think you've brought any changes to the Davis Family?"

"Don't talk to me about how many years you've contributed to the Davis family. That's what you, Calder, should do as the patriarch of the Davis family."

Calder was speechless.

Elder Pierre opened his eyes wearily. "Alright, if Audrey can get out of the domain, this matter will be settled. If Audrey dies in the domain, I won't hold you responsible anymore, Calder."

"But everything has nothing to do with Audrey, right?

"Why should I blame Audrey? You even wanted her to marry a fool!" Calder could not understand how these people took other people's selfless dedication for granted.

He admitted that he had not contributed during his years as the patriarch of the Davis family.

Could it be that these elders did?

Instead of thinking about how to improve his battle spirit, he thought about taking the crooked path.

He did not believe that these people would let Audrey go. They would still force her to marry into the Fairlie family even if Audrey returned with the book!

"Heh, after becoming the daughter of the Davis family's patriarch, she should have thought about how unhappy she would be." The Great Clan Elder, Pierre, snorted coldly. "Now, you're the one who has violated the clan rules, Calder."

Calder no longer had the patience to reason.

He shook off the shackles on his body in the midst of everyone's astonishment. Then, he glared with his ice-blue eyes and said, "I originally thought that you would have the heart to repent."

"What the hell is going on!" The elders panicked. "Where are the guards? Quickly get the guards to stop Calder --"

Calder sneered, "Do you think the guards can stop me?"

He reached out his hands and gathered his combat aura in his palms.

The longsword whizzed through the air. Calder stood on the spot like a giant with the sword in his hand. "Who is the one who broke the rules? Elder Pierre?"

The face of the elder Pierre was ashen.

It turned out that he had already discovered it.
