"Mulia, for some reason... I felt the kid was mocking me and I understand why it would be so. It's because he knows that you will protect him. Look at his eyes, delusional as a man who wants to be a dragon among men, except he's nothing but a coward!" Elder Severin said with a cold expression on his face.

Mulia didn't reply but said something else, "Since you understand that I will protect him, then back off..."

Elder Severin looked at her, then suddenly smiled, "If that is your wish, then I'll gladly comply..."

He looked not at all fazed by her rudeness.

"Men! Let's go! Spread out and search for the place where the report had been made!" With a dashing demeanor, he commanded and turned to walk ahead, a smile lit upon his face as he thought, 'Sooner or later, you will be mine, Mulia.'

...

Davis followed their backs in a pitiful yet sealed state.

Of course, he had to continue this act or else, they might find that about his Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation.

Luckily, he hadn't felt anyone using their soul to probe him deeply, or else he would've been found out.

He must say that this external appearance of a kid had indeed saved him some effort of having to explain his origins.

With the Cloud Spring Mercenary Uniform working to his advantage, none of them doubted that he was powerful to some degree. Instead, they thought that he was a scrawny lost brat.

They had information and verified that the Cloud Spring Mercenaries was indeed investigating the West End Valley for peculiarities and anomalies but fortunately, they were the ones to who managed to find an anomaly.

Davis mostly stuck together with Mulia, behind her back to be exact, which caused glances from the men to be always fixed on him, though he didn't give a damn about it.

Glancing at Mulia's back, he felt a little thankful in his heart.

He must say, at that time, in the heat of the moment, he actually didn't care for his life and was about to reveal the scandal, even endangering both of their lives in the process of completing an act of petty revenge.

If it weren't for her timely appearance in shielding him, all hell would then have broken loose in that place.

Although he lost his cool and had almost lost his life, he must admit that she had saved his life, whether on purpose or not.

"After this expedition is over, I want you to run away at the best opportune moment possible... That is all the help I can do..."

A Soul Transmission echoed in Davis's soul, causing him to gaze at her with a complex look.

He suddenly felt bad for trying to reveal the fact of her affair, though he understood when he tried to do that, it was purely for humiliating Severin.

Davis didn't bother to send a Soul Transmission to her because she might realize that he was stronger than her.

Any changes at this point would just endanger him, so he quietly shut up, keeping an eye out for the opportune moment that she had mentioned about.

Well, if he couldn't find one, he would just have to create one. He couldn't control Elder Severin but what about his lackeys. 

Davis secretly grinned as a sinister red light flashed in his eyes.

Half a day passed as they crossed Quade Hansen's Tomb, as well as a few other tombs.

Davis was astonished to see that there were more tombs in this place but wasn't overly surprised.

He had just gotten to know that this place acted as a cemetery of sorts.

As they headed deeper into the West End Valley, three days passed.

Finally, when they arrived in front of a lone ruined tomb, they stopped and looked towards it.

"Are you sure that this is the place?" Elder Severin glanced at his subordinate and impatiently asked.

"Yes, my master. According to the report, the one who noticed the disturbance said that it happened near this withered tree." The man then glanced at the nearby withered tree and pointed, "He even left a sword mark on it!"

And as they looked, there really was a sword mark etched on the withered tree.

"As a part of the Tripartite Alliance, he dares to run away from his job? Why couldn't he just stay here?" Another man rolled his eyes as he complained.

"That is... because, that person said that he witnessed the originally peaceful, magnificent tomb suddenly turn into a ruined tomb right in front of his eyes." He replied, causing everyone to turn silent.

He continued, "Not only that, but he heard that a voice invited him over to the tomb, so out of fear, he immediately left a sword mark and escaped the place. At least, that's what the people from our Tripartite Alliance heard him say before he turned crazy..."

The surrounding men unknowingly made an audible gulping sound.

"Could it be... a ghost?"

They didn't know who said that but the moment they heard it, shivers went down their spine.

"Idiots! There's no such thing as ghosts! Only bastards who failed to die and are living through their soul bodies!" Severin sneered on hearing their discussion.

An arrogant light flashed past his eyes, looking down on their ignorance. The others were startled but quickly nodded their heads in understanding.

Davis narrowed his eyes, 'Living through soul bodies? What is this about? Did they come to find a soul body?'

He had no idea about this matter, neither could he ask around but he could ask Fallen Heaven. Although he knew he was being protected, he understood that his status right now was akin to a prisoner.

Soon enough, they entered the nameless ruined tomb.

"Help! I can't see anything!"

"Calm down! We are near you!"

"Stay cautious!"

On their way down, their vision was fully obstructed so much that they couldn't even see their arms in front of them.

Even though they couldn't see, they could feel the presence of others through either their Body or Soul Cultivation.

"Follow my lead..." Severin echoed out and muttered under his breath, "Such useless bunch."

He had a serious expression on his face because even he couldn't see more than 5 meters, but he smiled, thinking that he hit the jackpot.

Whatever treasure that appeared in this place will be his!

Many of them were scared because even though they were powerful, they couldn't even see ahead of them. When considering that they were Fifth Stage Cultivators, it was a frightening experience for them.

They could only helplessly follow their master right now.

Davis quietly followed behind Mulia, not daring to use his Soul Sense.

Because he needed to be cautious of others and Severin, with the decreased visibility, he stuck close with her, only leaving a distance of half a meter separating them.

Besides Mulia was her uncle, maintaining a distance of about a meter.

He was totally low-key, only bothering about the task he had been handed down from her family, which is to guard her with his life.

Davis came to know about him in these three days which they traveled and his impression of him had been so far, good since he didn't bother him in any way.
