"Haha..." Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross deeply smiled, "Not only did she know, but she also signed a Blood Soul Contract with me to not reveal my whereabouts. If this isn't helping each other out, then what is? We truly had a connection..."

"Twisting the reality! How shameless!"

​​

Ancestor Dian Alstreim butted in as he defended his wife.

"It was not only my Tirea, but we Tripartite Alliance Ancestors all knew and signed a Blood Soul Contract with him!"

Ancestor Tirea Snow bit her lips as she looked at Ancestor Dian Alstreim. Since he said it, there was no need to hide anymore.

"I didn't have a choice. I, Dian, and Xanbas Goldsky were all caught in a fishnet between life and death. In addition to being tempted by the way to the King Soul Stage, we had no choice but to accept Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross's Blood Soul Contract to keep quiet."

With her statement, everyone understood as they couldn't help but nod their heads in understanding.

So Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross had them threatened...!

It was true that none of the powers in the Nine Western Territories could go against Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross if he were to threaten to kill them all, so they could understand. Her statement also caused the people to know why she would enter the King Soul Stage when no one in the Nine Western Territories managed to do so in the last tens of millenniums.

Nevertheless, they noticed a peculiarity with Ancestor Tirea Snow. A moment later, they realized it.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression was pale as he looked at his woman.

Ancestor Tirea Snow seemingly trembled, preparing for a backlash from the Blood Soul Contract at this moment, but nothing came when she abruptly realized that the shackles on her soul were no longer there.

"Beauty Snow, how could I let you be injured? Hence, I destroyed the Blood Soul Contract's binding just a while ago before I came to meet you."

Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross gently spoke, causing everyone to be shocked, including both the Ancestors.

Indeed, there was a clause that stated that only Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross could make that Blood Soul Contract void with the command of a single word from him.

"This way, you can perhaps better understand my intent. I was angered when I heard that you were getting married and called you something I shouldn't have. I apologize for that as my rage got to me, which is quite shameful as a Soul Emperor. However, it just means that I care about you that much."

Ancestor Tirea Snow appeared incredulous on hearing Soul Emperor's words.

Is this man for real? She definitely remembered him being overbearing from start to the last time she saw him, so why was he acting as if he truly cared about her now?

"Hehehe~"

She couldn't help but abruptly giggle at his actions, thinking he was trying to create a romance story out of nothing for the masses.

"No matter what you say, I simply won't consider you nor anyone because I belong to Dian already."

She walked to the front where Dian Alstreim was and interlocked her hands with his, looking at Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross with an unbendable gaze.

"What did you say?"

Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross's eyes were wide, seemingly on the border of becoming filled with rage.

"I said that I belong to my Dian. I will die by his side than rather be with you or anyone else for that matter."

Ancestor Tirea Snow spoke with a determination that moved the hearts of the people, even making some jealous, wondering why they couldn't make their woman utter such words like that.

But on the other hand, Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross looked completely pissed off. The hands that he dropped raised again as dark soul force surged out like a tide.

"Is that so? Then die!~

His soul force instantly transformed into an arrow, beaming towards Ancestor Tirea Snow with a tremendous speed.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow also erupted with their massive Law Rune Stage undulations, going all out to make a defensive barrier out of their essence energy. Mid-Level Law Rune Stage and Low-Level Law Rune Stage essence energies combined, fire and ice seemingly trying to unite into a two-layered barrier. Even though they pushed against each other, the intensity said of the barrier said otherwise.

In the skies, Isabella moved to cancel out the attack, but the soul attack was too fast than her movement speed. At this rate, it was clear to her that she would be unable to defend against it and would reach Ancestor Tirea Snow while breaking or perhaps even slipping past the barrier.

However, a figure appeared in front of the soul attack and punched out with his scaled fists.

Immense brownish-golden might filled with martial energy struck the dark arrow, their might clashing in mid-air as they trembled. The arrow punched through the force and shot through, but before it could reach the figure, a greyish-white light hung on the arrows' head and tail, causing it to disintegrate.

Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross's eyes widened as he looked at the person whose Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation were both at the Eighth Stage, yet its prowess could reach the Ninth Stage!

"Who are you!?"

These words left his mouth as he incredulously looked at Davis.

The other powerhouses also present looked wide with shock, even the Poison Lord. As for the Dragon Families' Powerhouses, they all possessed unsightly expressions on their faces.

A Soul Emperor!?

At least, that's what the Mid-Level King Soul Stage soul force's prowess felt like, reaching the Low-Level Emperor Soul Stage!

They looked at Davis in disbelief, wondering how he could be this powerful! They looked at him as if they were looking at a monster as he no longer fitted into their common sense. Before, his prowess was not clear when he used his soul force, but now, it was completely clear to them.

However, when had they ever seen or even heard Soul Forging Cultivators above the Sixth Stage capable of battling across levels two or three levels?

Yet, there was a youth who was said to have an age below hundred years possess a ridiculous prowess that allowed him to battle a stage above in the eighth stage with Soul Forging Cultivation, making their brains momentarily unable to make sense of it even though they tried hard to do so.

"It's best that you leave today if you don't want to die. Ancestor Tirea Snow loved Ancestor Dian Alstreim for more than a thousand years, but because of her devious master, she was deceived and made to forget such a thing. This isn't simply a political wedding or a love wedding for youngsters but a love wedding that echoed across a period of thousand years, only to reconvene today in this form. You dare stop their union, you bastard!?"

Davis's voice echoed across the Grand Alstreim City as the hearts of numerous people shook.

Was this the story behind them?

They couldn't help but fantasize about their story in their minds at this moment.

Still, even Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow felt their hearts shake when they heard his voice fueled with overbearingness for them. Today, their marriage was already ruined, but that didn't mean that they wouldn't exchange their vows and become married.

It would just mean that they had lesser witnesses.

They understood that Davis was completely pissed off for them, making their hearts feel comforted amidst this world that kept on attacking them.

Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross coldly looked at Davis, seeking information about him as he heard the conversations of the people below.

Below hundred years in age?

Has two Perfect Domain and a Perfect Martial Domain?

His Body Tempering Cultivation's prowess makes him fight High-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses?

His cold eyes were struck with astonishment as he kept hearing many matters about this Davis Alstreim.

And Isabella was his wife!?

No wonder!!!

"I see." He nodded, "Your origin is quite dubious along with this woman, but I don't mind. You're a unique gem that I would've loved to take in as my disciple, but if you insist that you're going to stop me, then I have no choice but to look at you with a hostile gaze."

His threat left a bit of trepidation in the hearts of the people wishing well for Davis.

They couldn't bear to lose the birth of the tenth Soul Emperor in this manner!

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse's eyes became fiery as he thought like this!
