The Story Never Ends - Chapter 225
The next day, inside the open space of the lamp,
Davion was standing with Siena on his side. Currently, he was revealing the things he discovered yesterday. Except for him transforming into a devil.
Since she was from the Demon Beast World, it was convenient to ask for her opinions. After listening for a while, her expression became serious. It seemed like the White Tiger Clan was really suspicious and must be planning something big.
“Why didn’t you notify me? With us working together, we could have definitely captured that bastard.” Anger could be felt from her voice.
“That’s why you should refrain from cultivating all the time. It’s better to relax.” Davion smiled in a chill manner.
She rolled her eyes at him. “It doesn’t sound good hearing from you.”
Although he possessed heaven-defying talent, how can he have such a terrifying cultivation base without working hard? Especially, when he hasn’t received any special resources unlike her.
If he was from one of the major sects, then she could have at least believed it.
“Haha.” Davion laughed it off and inquired, “Anyways, are you going to report this matter to your tribe? It would be better if they prepare for the worst.”
“What you said makes sense. Nevertheless, we don’t have the proof right now. So, we might as well investigate further.” She thought for a while before replying.
“Trying to escape from the phoenix trail, are we?” He teased her.
She narrowed her eyes but didn’t retort back. Instead, she replied, “Aren’t you worried that I will run away from the bet?”
“What a sly woman.” He muttered, shaking his head.
He then declared, “Let’s head to the Outer Region. There is something I need to get.”
“Outer Region? Isn’t that the place where many mortals exist? Can we even find anything good there?” She was puzzled.
“Don’t you want to roam and observe the human world? Moreover, that region is free from the invasion of the Heavenly Demon Sect.” He explained.
“If you say so.” She didn’t decline it. After all, she was interested to know more about this world.

After annihilating the demons, the territories of the Great Wind Sect eventually returned to peace. Nonetheless, it would take a long period of time before it restored its former glory.
This was because most of the people had either died or fled. Almost all the cities were in ruins. And last but not the least, there was no sect governing the region. Who knew if the enemies would strike once again?
Thus, the surviving people also left. The cultivators having somewhat decent cultivation among them proceeded towards the territories of other middle-grade sects in search of opportunities. While the others made their way towards the Outer Region.
Following them from a certain distance were Davion and Siena who were both steadily walking like mortals. Davion was wearing a black cloak to conceal his unique temperament, and Siena was in her usual disguise.
“It has already been a week since that day.” He sighed as he deeply gazed at the huge group of people ahead of them.
“Yeah, I thought that I would loosen up during this trip by enjoying the scenery. But I was wrong. Looking at them struggling all this time gives me heartache.” She spoke in a sad tone.
“Indeed. They now have to pass through the Wild Northern Forest where there are many ferocious demon beasts. How can they survive this predicament?” He perceived a few warriors in the Qi Refining Stage, brandishing their weapons and getting ready for a fight.
But the question was were they enough? Didn’t they know that even Golden Stage Experts have died here? Perhaps they understood and didn’t care about it, knowing that they had no other choice.
“It’s all for survival.” He added.
“Damn them. The Heavenly Demon Sect will undoubtedly pay for this in the future.” Ripples of invisible aura spread from her in a circular radius, causing the demon beasts hidden in the forest to cower in fear and run away.
“What a strong suppression of bloodline!” He marveled at her method.
In this way, with the help of Siena, the group of people swiftly crossed the Wild Northern Forest without encountering a single demon beast. This surprised everyone such that many of them even shed tears of joy.
However, it didn’t last long as suddenly a heavy pressure engulfed them.
“Fools, you all dare to come here? Don’t you know that it is forbidden for the people of the Inner Region to enter here? Do you want to disrupt the peace of this region?” A harsh voice resounded in the air, making everyone fall on their knees.
“My Lord! How can we mortals survive when the demons are wreaking havoc in our lands?” A petite young girl who appeared to be about 16 years of age shouted loudly, not fearing if she offended the other party.
“Little girl, you have guts.” A more horrific pressure crashed down on her, pressing her face straight on the ground.
Seeing this unbearable sight, the other people shuddered and didn’t dare to question him. So, they simply lowered their heads and awaited their judgment.
“Humm, I don’t know how you all got here without any injuries, but I want all of you to return. Nobody is welcomed here.” Noticing how submissive they were, the mysterious figure simply decided to let them go.
Or you could say that he was interested in knowing how the hell they reached here perfectly fine? What happened to the demon beasts inside?
Nonetheless, his thoughts were interrupted as the young girl raised her head with all her strength and cried out, “You don’t have the right to decide our fates. Are you afraid that we will attract demons from the inner region to you?”
“Shut up!”
“Whose child is this?”
“How dare she curse the Lord?”
The nearby people scolded her with fury and displeasure written all over their faces. Then they began kowtowing, asking for mercy.
“Lord! Forgive us.”
“The girl has sinned. Please punish her and leave us alone.”
“We are innocent.”
Despite that, she didn’t stop there and continued. “If you have the guts then show us your face. I believe you might be someone who had escaped from the Inner Region just like us.”
Her eyes were firm, and sadness could be depicted from her voice. The other interesting thing was that she didn’t seem to develop any trace of fear towards the unknown party.
“She is way mature for her age.” Davion, who was witnessing everything said.
“I believe she must be someone with a lot of stories.” Siena nodded.
“Anyways, why did you stop me from helping her?” She didn’t understand why he told her to wait.
“It’s because there are more of them. I am thinking of capturing them at once,” He replied.
“What? How can I only sense someone over there?” She looked above and saw a blurry shadow hidden beside a cloud.
“Is this even a thing to ask? You know that you are weak.” He smiled and said, “Just wait for a while.”
“You..” Siena clenched her fists in annoyance.
“Whatever! Let’s see what you are implying.” She controlled herself and watched the surroundings carefully, trying to find some clues.
In the next moment, a dark light streaked in the sky and a person with a hideous face appeared in everyone’s vision.
“Lord!”
The group of people exclaimed in trepidation.
“Humm!” The hideous man didn’t bother about them but rather focused on the little girl.
The little girl trembled immediately when her eyes met his as she felt her vision being sucked into them. As a result, she avoided his gaze. But she still didn’t back down.
She stubbornly resisted and shouted, “You coward!”
“HAHA! HAHA!”
A burst of heavy laughter was promptly heard when her words were finished.
“Jaxon! Who could have thought that a mortal could bully you in this way?”
“I can’t believe it.”
Like earlier, dark lights flashed and five middle-aged men materialized in the air. They were all wearing the same brown-colored robes and looked hideous.
Jaxon flared up at once seeing their mocking faces. So, to quench his anger, he decided to crush that female into a paste. Nevertheless, before he could make his move, he felt a great sense of danger. The same went for others too.
“Swish!Swish!Swish!”
Many sword energies appeared out of nowhere and pierced them easily, hurling them far away.
“BOOM”
Observing the sudden turn of events, the people were put in a state of disbelief.
As for the little girl, she had her mouth wide open and she even pinched herself to check whether it was a dream or not.
“Silly las, it’s real.”
“Who?” She turned her head left and right, trying to catch the source of that male voice.
“You can call me Senior Davion. Consider this as fate.” When these words were finished, a huge influx of information was automatically poured into her mind.
It contained cultivation techniques, spells, and his comprehension of them that would allow her to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
