In the skies of the Royal Xuan Empire.

Two figures flew past several figures who were frantically searching for some people.

Word spread that two killers who had intruded the residence of the Arashi Family had quickly gotten out to the city guards with the help of Arashi Family members who were scared but cautious enough to call for help.

The city guards of the Royal Xuan Empire took to the skies as they glimpsed around the areas in hopes of finding the two intruders who were said to wear silver masks on their faces.

However, they didn't know about the intruders' strength except that they were both black-robed and wore a silver mask.

If they knew the intruders' strength, then they wouldn't have dared to look for them openly in the skies. Even if they received a warrant to search, they would've just acted like they were looking for them.

Nevertheless, they were unable to find the two intruders whom they thought they could at least spot and earn contribution points in the process to climb up in the ranks.

"Why did you reveal our figures to them? We could've just disappeared..."

In the skies, Princess Isabella who was flying along and maintaining the same pace with Davis spoke in a dissatisfied tone. Their flying in the air did not graze against the wind as if their existence were formless and ethereal.

The silence in the sky only lasted for a second before Davis spoke, "Yesterday, I went around asking for the pills similar to the one that I have stolen from the Arashi Family's Treasury. Tell me, wouldn't people suspect that the intruder is a resident of the Royal Xuan Empire?"

"If this became the case, then we, who entered just a few days ago will become suspects."

"So I did nothing but reveal ourselves so that they would ponder deeply, only to end up connecting us with our raven masked personas, thinking that we all belong to a mysterious organization or a group."

"This way, Alchemist Scythe who had just recently entered the Xuan City can stay in his residence in peace without inviting suspicion."

Davis smiled as he shook his head.

"If I'm not wrong, a city guard head or a royal guard from the Royal Xuan Empire will investigate Alchemist Scythe in a few days, just to clear their suspicions."

Isabella raised her brows in astonishment. She just nodded her head after pondering for a while.

However, she also wanted to ask why he had stolen more treasures of which some could not be considered treasures to them, but the tome of Inscriptions he stole could very well be sold for an extraordinary price.

Princess Isabella garnered from her knowledge that it could even sell for a few High-Level Spirit Stones if it's in demand.

Davis saw that Princess Isabella go silent.

He could see that she was no longer high and mighty when asking him questions.

Well, in a sense, this is what he wanted so he wasn't bothered.

In just a few minutes, they reached their residence and entered the inner courtyard. With a bit of concealment still cloaking them, they both entered their respective rooms before getting rid of the stains.

Some people would have the means to track them and Davis didn't doubt it. For example, the blood of the Arashi Family Head that dyed Princess Isabella's wrists. They could use his blood to track her down, however, his concealment was not just a simple one.

...The Dark Concealing Shroud Art masked their outline, features, smell, taste, and undulations.

With his Dark Concealing Shroud Art, it became very difficult for his opponents to sense him unless they have extraordinary senses along with a high Soul Forging Cultivation that wouldn't lose to Davis's.

The blood that splashed on her would be visible and the smell and vitality would be radiating on the third floor of the pagoda without a doubt. It is the same for the small narrow entrance of the treasury.

Other than these two places, it would be quite difficult for trackers to discover their trails.

Of course, if they were to bypass all the tracking and arrive straight to Princess Isabella's room in the residence through some mystical means, they might find some clues pointing to Princess Isabella as the culprit due to the smell of blood and it's vitality faintly radiating, but that seemed unlikely unless they could bring that Mystic Diviner which he presumed to be no longer here.

After all, Mystic Diviner's are so prestigious that they wouldn't let themselves be made a puppet by others.

======

Time passed, a day and two...

Davis didn't opt to immediately give the medicinal pill to Daniuis afraid that he would radiate undulations of recovering to the Seventh Stage.

After all, when one breaks through to the next level or a stage, it is impossible for them to actively conceal their undulations that would leak out of their bodies.

For this reason, people would seclude themselves in a room with formations or go to a quiet place in a forest or mountain so as to not get discovered by an opportunist who can attack them at the point of breakthrough where they will be slightly vulnerable to critical attacks.

At that point, if critical attacks were to successfully inflict them, then it is also possible to regress in cultivation rather than experiencing an increase.

Daniuis had precisely regressed in Essence Gathering Cultivation because he had failed to enter the Law Sea Stage, after that in which he used plenty of blood essence to curb the invaders before further dropping in cultivation due to the side effects of burning one's blood essence.

Except for Evelynn, the others didn't know about their 'visit' to the Arashi Family, so they were all not in the know. They still thought he was searching the required medicinal pill.

During this time, some people heard about Alchemist Scythe's return and wanted to make him concoct pills for a cheap price, but when they saw the board hanging outside the residence, they were dejected to learn that Alchemist Scythe wouldn't be accepting requests for a month.

And as expected, a rather high ranking guard really came to inspect Alchemist Scythe of bringing people of unknown origins into the Xuan City.

However, just like before, Davis influenced the guard's decision to inspect and rather made him 'improve' relations with the esteemed Alchemist Scythe.

It was not bribery, but Davis made the high ranking guard suck up to him through influence and eloquence of words.

This was because he slightly revealed the fact that he was about to have a breakthrough in concocting pills, gaining the ability to create High-Level Sky Grade Pills.

Upon secretly learning this fact, the high-ranking guard abandoned his inspections and instead worked on top of his mind to curry favor with Alchemist Scythe.

The high-ranking guard did his preparations before coming here and knew that Alchemist Scythe had already once declined the invitation of the Royal Xuan Empire in the past.

He didn't feel any suspicion in regards to that since skilled alchemists tended to be haughty. Only if the weren't haughty would suspicion over the alchemist encroach him.

He felt that if he could invite the talent as a guest to the Xuan Family, then he would've gained really high contributions, elevating his position in the relevant jurisdiction.

Davis's Misdirection easily influenced the guard, making him inwardly chuckle and relax. This unique power of Fallen Heaven certainly did prove to be useful in making him low-key, able to do deeds he previously wasn't able to do since he had to kill the person to influence them.
