The Story Never Ends - Chapter 200

“Indeed, it is as you say. This Saint Crystal has no use to you right now. But when you reach the peak stage of the Domain Realm, it can help you get a glimpse of at least one law.” Siena explained.

“Only a glimpse?” Davion was disappointed.

“It’s because the size of this crystal is too small. If it were any bigger, then you could have felt various laws. Nonetheless, you can forget about that as only the four big clans possess them.” She replied.

“Anyways, you should buy this stone. Although the law you sense might not be suitable for you, it will still aid you in breaking through the Venerable Stage.” She added.

“You are quite knowledgeable.” Davion praised her and turned to Naomi.

“I will take it. However, I’m curious why you want to trade this precious crystal in the first place. Don’t you want to reach a higher realm?” No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t understand anything about this group of people.

They traded rare materials with him like real merchants and they didn’t seem to have any ulterior motives. Besides, lying about their identities at the start.

“Are they really good people?” He was puzzled inside.

“Young Master, this little girl has poor talent. It’s been ten years since I have been stuck in the middle stage of the Domain Realm. So, I’m sure even if I have this crystal, I will never be able to break through that barrier. Hence, it’s better to sell it off.” She answered pitifully.

“It makes sense.” Davion nodded and threw her a spirit ring containing lots of spirit stones. This was the only wealth he had remaining.

“Young Master, how rich are you?” Naomi mumbled in disbelief when he saw these many stones. It was enough to feed her whole tribe for a couple of months.

“Haha” Davion simply laughed it off while playing with the crystal in his hand.

“My Mind-Eye is useless against it. It’s really extraordinary.” He put it into his spirit ring and asked with a smile on his face, “Do you have anything more?”

“We do.” They all replied the same and then shook their heads.

“But I don’t think they would catch your interest.”

The rare materials they had traded earlier were all obtained by chance in the process of robbing people. They would have never revealed them to the outside world if not for Davion. This was because this was the only way they could catch the attention of someone so wealthy as him.

“Is that so? Then why don’t we enjoy the feast?” Davion finally became satisfied with this trip. Thus, he could now wholeheartedly appreciate everything here.

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Venomous Python Tribe,

There was a screen projected from an orb where the complete layout of the Lupinus City could be seen. At the moment, there were many golden dots all over the city.

Standing infront of this screen were Hector and his two attendants. Hector was standing ahead as usual while they were behind him.

“Senior Hector, the preparations have been made.”

“We can begin any time you want.”

The attendants spoke while lowering their heads.

“Hehe, we will finally catch that bastard.” Hector chuckled and took out a mirror that seemed similar to the ones his subordinates were carrying.

Nevertheless, this one was strange as a dangerous and cold aura was being radiated from it. Moreover, the runes and patterns carved on it made one realize at a glance that it was a peerless artifact.

“Are you two curious about what it is?” Hector turned back and questioned.

“Of course.” They nodded.

“It is the..” Before he could finish his sentence, a voice coming from the entrance interrupted him.

“One of the most powerful fairy artifacts of the Golden Lion Tribe: The All-Seeing Mirror.”

“I heard that it can peer through the soul of anyone below the Saint Realm Experts leaving no secrets behind.”

They gazed in that direction and saw Andreas striding towards them.

“Why are you here? Did you not catch him?” Hector coldly asked. He seemed to be displeased due to his sudden intrusion.

Realizing this, Andreas hurriedly fell on his knees and apologized.

“I’m sorry, Senior Hector. I was just getting impatient.”

“Humph! You know your place.” Hector scoffed and recorrected him.

“What you said about this mirror is true. But only a Venerable Expert can bring out its full potential. Regardless, it’s sufficient to deal with someone at the Domain Realm.”

“Now, we can leave. Notify Carolina too. We are going in full force.” Hector ordered.

“Yes.” They left with serious expressions on their faces.

At the center of the city,

Hector began injecting his Qi into the All-Seeing Mirror. After a couple of minutes, the mirror shook and an apparition of an old man appeared above it. He was golden in color, and only his face could be seen. As for his other parts, they were blurred.

“Is this what the soul of a Fairy Artifact looks like?” Everyone watching this scene had their mouths wide open. After all, it was their first time seeing a fairy artifact in action.

“Lord,” Hector fell on his one-knee and politely addressed him. Seeing this, others did the same.

“Humm, it’s been a long time since I was last summoned.” The old man’s voice rang in everyone’s ears.

He then gazed at Hector and said, “So, I was summoned by you. No wonder the energy was lacking.”

“Tell me what you want. I can’t sustain myself for long.” He commanded.

“I want you to locate a person disguising himself in this city with a fairy artifact,” Hector told his intentions.

“That is difficult for me.” The old man shook his head. This task was impossible with that little amount of energy.

“That’s why I have prepared these mirrors for you according to the instructions from the Tribe Leader.” Hector relayed what the Tribe Leader told him.

“Oh! It’s easy then.” The old man clasped his hands and hundreds of mirrors that the guards were carrying automatically flew high up in the sky.

Next, they all arranged in a certain manner like a formation and the All-Seeing Mirror emitted a golden beam of light that went straight to the sky.

At the same time,

Davion, Siena, and the merchants were exiting the compounds of the Sky Heavens Restaurant.

“Young Master, who could have thought that we would become friends in the end?” Luke patted his shoulder.

“Haha, me too.” Davion laughed.

“Now, what are you planning to do?” Luke politely asked while making eye contact with Naomi and Logan. They immediately understood what he meant. He was referring to strike when their guard is lowered.

Thus, Logan and Naomi put their hands behind their backs and hidden sharp daggers appeared out of nowhere.

“I will..” When Davion was about to reply, Siena, who knows why, abruptly pulled his right hand and began running.

“What happened?” He exclaimed.

“I had a bad premonition. Something disturbing will happen if we stay here any longer.” She didn’t explain much.

“Damn, did she see through our intentions?” Luke cursed and yelled loudly.

“Catch them. Don’t let them escape.”

“This..” Davion became astonished when he heard him.

“Were they planning this from the start?” He couldn’t believe that they would change their attitude this quickly?

“It seems to be the case. However, we should not be wasting our time with them. A bigger disaster is approaching us.” She answered.

“Is your tribe coming for you?” He guessed.

“Shut up! It’s not the reason.” She released her aura and sped up.

Despite this, the merchants were able to keep up. Not only that, but they even managed to bypass them.

“Shadow Zap”

Their bodies disappeared into the shadows of the buildings nearby and when they moved there, their speed became thrice as fast. In this way, they materialized ahead of Davion and Siena in the blink of an eye.

“Stop!” They unleashed their cultivation base trying to pressurize them down.

“Do we fly?” Davion suggested.

“No. We will catch unwanted attention.” She denied it.

“So, let’s take care of them. With your strength, it will be as easy as crushing ants.” He was eager to see her in action.

“What did you say?”

“You dare underestimate us!”

The merchants bellowed in anger. How dare they compare them to ants?

“Kill them.” Luke was the first one to rush in.

But before he could near them, the sky was all of a sudden illuminated in a golden light.

“It’s too late. Stay close to me.” Siena ordered.

“Is this what the baboon brothers were mentioning before they left?” Davion did as she told and gazed above solemnly.

Afterward, the light flashed down upon the city scaring everyone there. The merchants responded instantly by coating their bodies with Qi. However, the strange thing was that the light didn’t do anything to them. But instead, their body appeared somewhat transparent.

“That’s their soul!” Siena cried out since she witnessed the figure of a black panther visible from them.

As for Davion and her, they were covered by a circular red-colored barrier preventing the light from entering.

On the other side,

“I found it..” The old man pointed his index finger on the forehead of Hector and the images of Davion and Siena inside a barrier were transmitted into his mind.
