To his frustration, Elder Severin realized that there were already two groups of people belonging to the Towering Cloud Hall and the Alstreim Family respectively!

They were the remaining two factions of the Tripartite Alliance!

How was it possible?! Since the two groups had already crossed the previous two paths, they also should have sustained losses but that didn't seem to be the case.

Well, maybe that explained why he didn't find any bloodstains in the pathways.

'Tch..' He grew mentally irritated, thinking that their groups didn't meet with calamity. He also guessed that they didn't separate but traveled in a single tunnel rather than two.

"Haha! Elder Severin! You're late!" A middle-aged man who wore the purple robe of the Tripartite Alliance cordially greeted with an immense smile on his face.

"Looks like each faction sent an elder to this place... I wonder if we will even be able to gain anything out of this?" Another middle-aged man who had a scrutinizing expression on his face expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Haha, it's alright as we will split off the treasure into three parts! Isn't that right, Elder Severin?"

Severin had no choice but to give off a beautiful smile in response to that man's question, "Yes, Elder Norbert. I'm sure Elder Walter would also agree to this... "

Surprisingly, in this place, their vision was back to normal, though that didn't change the fact that their Soul Senses were still suppressed!

Meanwhile, no one paid attention to Davis but there was plenty of attention on Miss Mulia.

Just when he thought of moving away from her, because of the overflowing attention, someone caught him red-handed!

"Oh! Who is this kid? High-Level Adult Soul Stage? Such a cultivation base? How is this possible?" Elder Walter looked at Davis as he scanned him with an incredulous expression on his face.

Davis's body automatically moved, and suddenly, he found himself beyond redemption!

The Dark Crimson Scythe hovered over Mulia's throat!

Everyone was stunned!

"Don't move!" Davis shouted as he stood beside Mulia, with his scythe ready to take away her life.

Mulia was shocked to find herself in this state!

A moment ago, she was totally out of her mind when she saw Hadian in Elder Norbert's group. A moment of carelessness took her completely off-guard.

Everyone simultaneously took out their weapons!

At the same time, Davis released his battle aura and soul force, shocking everyone present except the three elders!

"Release her!" Elder Severin had an ugly expression on his face!

He had disdained to even use his Soul Sense on a kid, and that ironically brought him to a situation such as this!

What's more? Mulia was his soon-to-be wife who was currently held as a hostage! This kind of situation was such a smack to his face that he felt it heating up from sheer embarrassment and anger.

"Oh... Was he not from your team? Wait... That uniform... Cloud Spring Mercenaries?" Elder Walter muttered as he spoke to Elder Severin.

"Who are you?" Elder Norbert cautiously asked, and he also did not fail to notice the trembling expression of Hadian who was beside him.

He was unsure of what was going on and mistook that Hadian knew about Davis....

Mulia suddenly hated herself for saving this kid a few days ago. She immediately tried to resist yet, all sorts of resistance flew away from her when he heard his Soul Transmission.

"Obediently follow my lead! Or I'll leak the information of your affair with Hadian!"

Davis had no time to explain to her so he just blackmailed her into submission!

"Just a Cloud Spring Mercenaries member, yet your Tripartite Alliance's Elder Severin wanted to kill me... Oh, and I'm sure that he won't let me live after you revealed my cultivation level, so I had no choice but to take this matter into my hands..." Davis calmly explained while his soul pressure gave off the chills which intimidated most of them.

Elder Walter narrowed his eyes, "Elder Severin, what is this about? Are that boy's words true?"

Elder Severin's face turned even more ugly! He didn't expect this brat to be this powerful!

Although he could easily kill Davis, with Mulia close to him as a hostage, it proved certainly impossible to accomplish such a feat!

Looking at Elder Severin's face, Elder Walter and Elder Norbert looked at each other as they came to a consensus.

"Elder Severin, instead of recruiting talent such as him, you tried to kill him off? Are you abusing your position as an Elder?" Elder Walter's eyes flashed.

Severin obviously wouldn't admit to doing such mistakes, "No! He's lying! He was the one who first attacked us but later was protected by Mulia. I had no choice but to give up!"

"Hmm? Miss Mulia?" Elder Walter glanced at Mulia and questioned, "Are Elder Severin's words true?"

Mulia kept her mouth shut. She was truly afraid of that matter being revealed rather than her life being taken away.

She didn't want Hadian to be placed before danger.

"Speak..." Davis prompted.

Only when she received his permission did she open her mouth, "Other than me protecting him from Elder Severin, everything else were false..."

Both elders turned to look at Elder Severin with a not so amused expression on their faces.

Elder Norbert smiled and took the first shot, "Ki... Young Genius, are you interested in joining the Towering Cloud Ha..."

But just before he could finish his sentence, the Hall where they stood trembled with intensity as an explosion occurred on the stone!

This stone was something that the previous two groups were investigating due to it being the only suspicious object in the hall.

Everyone immediately raised their guard and looked at the exploded pieces of the stone in scrutiny.

Elder Walter immediately raised his voice while his brows shot up, "Damn it! It's a formation!"

Then, seemingly from Davis's view, everyone disappeared from the place they stood.

Even Mulia who was the closest to him disappeared in an instant.

Davis's scalp turned numb as he looked at the bizarre scene in front of him.

He then realized that he was no longer in that Hall but was in a room that signified that it was for personal use.

'Where is this place? That elder shouted that this was a formation except what kind of formation is this?' Davis cautiously swept the room with his Soul Sense while it was still in its suppressed state.

The suppression he felt here was extreme to the core.
