The Story Never Ends - Chapter 219

“You are right. I belong to the Thunderbolt Sect in the Northern Mainland. When I finish some tasks there, I will begin my journey to cleanse this place from the hooligans of the Heavenly Demon Sect.” He spoke with righteousness.

“Eh! Which sect is that?” Despite being someone from the Demon Beast World, she knew of all the four major sects. Thus, she became confused when he told some unknown name.

“Oh! I forgot that you are new to this world. Let me explain everything to you properly.” He cleared his throat and continued.

“The human world consists of four mainlands each ruled by the four major clans. At the moment, we are in the inner region of the Northern Mainland, under the territory of the Mystic Beast Sect, and my sect is one of the middle-grade sects that lies here.”

“What! Then why are you seeking death by challenging the Heavenly Demon Sect?” Siena was dumbfounded. Why did he always like to seek trouble with someone who was far away from his league? Fighting the Golden Lion Tribe was the perfect example.

“It’s because they have deployed no Venerable Stage Experts in the inner regions. So, with my current strength, I can walk sideways here.” He explained with a smile on his face.

It was finally his turn to strike back. Especially, his time to go after Devil Emperor Conard, who had bullied him long ago. Thus, he would return to the sect and wait patiently for Conard to attack the sect.

“When exiting from the secret realm, I heard that Conard was ambushed and badly hurt by my Sect Master and the Sect Master of the Great Wind Sect. From what I believe, he must be recuperating by now.”

“And with his character, he would definitely not lay this matter down. I am sure that he will soon come for revenge with all his force.” Davion thought.

“Furthermore, his retaliation might be extremely fierce. I don’t think the sect would be able to hold on. It looks like I have to delay my plan of leaving towards the central region.” He had a solemn look on his face.

Listening to him, she sighed, “Who could have thought that you would have such a virtuous side as well?”

“Haha,” He laughed it off.

“Besides, I can help you in dealing with them. However, I won’t be showing much of my abilities.” She declared. After all, the notorious Heavenly Demon Sect were the common enemies of the Demon Beast World too.

“I appreciate it.” With her help, he could kill more of them and harvest tons of experience points. In this way, he would win the bet easily.

“Anyways, why did you run away from home?” Since she was inquiring about him previously, he had the right to question as well.

“Humm, it’s due to the trail of the phoenix that takes place every thousand years.” She replied in an annoyed tone.

“Is this a type of ceremony?” He was interested.

“Yeah, in some way. All the phoenixes under 100 years of age compete with each other to get the title of the future empress.” She answered.

“Empress? Isn’t it the most honorable title in the Phoenix Clan?” He was surprised as to how can a person back away from the chance of becoming one?

“It is. But you have to win the competition and it is insanely difficult when my elder sisters will be taking part as well.” She shook her head.

“Nonetheless, I wouldn’t be escaping like a coward if this was the only case. The main event is actually not the trail but the couple matching ceremony that follows thereafter.” Her voice was really cold when talking about it.

“Couple Matching Ceremony?” His mouth twitched and didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry.

“It is a tradition of our Phoenix Clan. As we phoenixes are all females, we have to choose our partner from other subsidiary tribes. Here, the younger men under 100 years of age as us battle among each other and prove their worth.”

“The Vermilion Bird Tribe you mentioned previously are actually the strongest tribe under us. They give birth to powerful men, and we are pressured to marry them. My father is also someone from that tribe.” She briefly explained.

“My God!” He was speechless. Now he realized why she was furious when he called out the Vermilion Tribe in the library. Moreover, he found the reason why she had an arrogant and prideful attitude.

It was because females seemed to be the ones having a higher position in her clan. Plus, they treated males as livestock to produce heirs. If not, then there was no need to conduct a ceremony to select males and force them to become companions. Therefore, growing in such an environment would undoubtedly affect her character.

“Ok! It’s enough talking. Can we get out of here?” She didn’t want to dwell on this topic anymore.

“Why are you in a hurry? Let’s visit my castle first.” Since he was busy the whole time, he had forgotten about Ryland. So, he wanted to check if he had woken up or not.

“No problem. I’m curious to see your family.” She had clearly remembered what he had said in the restaurant.

Davion nodded and with the wave of his hand both of them disappeared into the lamp.

“Clang”

***

“Wow! I didn’t know that you had such a wonderful treasure in your hand.” Siena was really impressed. Although she had seen many of these artifacts, the space inside here was comparatively larger than them.

“Is that so?” Davion smiled as he led the way into the castle.

“Bang…bang…”

The moment they entered, sounds of hammering were heard. When they looked in that direction, they caught sight of Danny who was about fifty feet tall radiating horrifying majestic energy.

“Hah” He cried out and veins bulged out on his large arms showcasing his abnormal physical strength. Not only that, but lightning generated on his body enveloping the spiritual hammer in his hands.

“BOOM”

He smashed the puppet with all his strength, and it ultimately broke into pieces, shooting them everywhere in the hall.

Seeing this, Siena immediately formed a red barrier, protecting herself and Davion from harm.

“I did it!” Danny joyfully yelled.

“Eh! Father, when did you come?” Noticing the energy fluctuation from the barrier, he just realized that Davion was here. But his expression changed at once when he noticed another woman beside him.

Nevertheless, he couldn’t speak anything more as he felt sudden weakness spreading all over his body.

“Bam”

His hammer dropped, and he fell to his knees. This didn’t end here as his body steadily transformed back to normal.

Davion became worried as a result and he approached him hurriedly.

“Why did you push yourself this hard?” He scolded when he perceived his soul Qi looking exhausted.

“Father, you betrayed mom?” Danny muttered and passed out in his arms.

“You…” Davion nearly coughed out blood in anger. What the hell was this child thinking?

“Master!”

“Davion!”

Hearing the commotion, Joanna and Ryland rushed in straight away.

“Joanna, bring him back to his room and take care of him.” He ordered.

“Yes.” Joanna politely did as he told, leaving the scene with Danny.

“How can you possess a Dark Lyeogryph from our Phoenix Island? On top of that, what is this weird twin-headed dragon?” Siena was astonished as the background of both of them was exceptionally great. Especially, the dragon made her petrified.

Her bloodline was shaking violently as if it had made its nemesis. Ryland also had a similar feeling. It was also the first time he felt something that could threaten his double royal bloodlines.

“ROOAARR” The two heads of Ryland threw a powerful roar, attempting to show that he was superior.

“Stop it! Ryland. You have been causing trouble frequently these days.” Davion unleashed his aura suppressing him in the blink of an eye.

“We are sorry.” Ryland whimpered, backing away while begrudgingly glancing at Siena.

“Hey! I’m not finished.” Davion slapped his spirit ring and rare treasures of heavens and earth fell before him. They were all containing rich elements of flame and ice.

“Ryland, consume them and break through to the peak stage of the Golden Core Stage as fast as you can. Although I am proud that you managed to reach the middle stage of the Golden Core realm after waking up, you still have a long way to go. You need to be way more powerful if you want to take revenge.” He reminded him seriously.

“We understand.” They swallowed those treasures in a jiffy and began cultivating.

“Also, remember that you are the weakest one among the bunch. Even Danny had surpassed you.” Davion added.

“What!” The arrogant attitude of Ryland vanished and instead it was replaced with shame and desire to get stronger. Furthermore, the feeling of not being able to help Davion all this time made both heads vexed.

Having these deep thoughts, they cultivated harder than ever. They didn’t want to be left behind by Davion in the future. They desired to roam the land proudly with him on his back.

“Haiz, don’t blame me for being harsh on you guys. But I have got no choice.” Davion sighed.

Deep down he was full of happiness watching them getting strong. After all, for a dragon cub to attain the Golden Core Stage this early was immensely terrifying.. Even among the dragons, this talent must be the best among the best.
