Chapter 2108: Sortie
Davis sent Legion Captain Starlily to head towards the Twilight Shade Valley. However, the objective wasn't conquest but to act as a delegation.
Indeed, he sent Legion Captain Starlily and her Third Division to represent the Reaper Soul Legion in aiding the Dark Moon Crow Empire. As for the reason, it was nothing special. He recalled Nyoran, the Dark Moon Crow who was good to him, even came to the human territories by braving dangers to present him the reward she promised after he supposedly died.
He held some respect for her, not to mention that it was because of her that Evelynn got the Entombed Darkfall Wisp which also got stronger by absorbing the energy of Evelynn, apparently even showing signs of mutation but considering that the Darkfall Spider was a regressive descendant of the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid, he didn't find this matter strange but welcoming.
Therefore, he felt that it was best if she conquered the Twilight Shade Valley Territory, allowing her to become strong and consequently become the ruler of her empire.
Likewise, he sent Legion Captain Lightsky and his Second Division to the Vast Sky Emperor Palace Territory to aid the Astral Light Sect in neutralizing the forces of the Grand Viridian Beast Mountain Range. Apparently, magical beast tides had started to erupt in these few weeks, so the three Great Righteous Sects were having some trouble, so he sent his forces to aid them. After all, he destroyed the Vast Sky Emperor Palace, so someone must take responsibility to protect that Territory that consists of billions of people.
The Three Great Righteous Sects were ready to take the responsibility, but just in case, Davis sent his people. This way, it would also be helpful for their training.
As for Davis, he returned back to the Alstreim Family and entered the Mortal Hex Emperor Purple Palace and chilled for some time before leaving for the Golden Palace and growing his garden occasionally while learning alchemy and other professions with the best interests in his mind.
But before that, he made sure to create Solitary Soul Avatars for Yotan and Threelotus, allowing them to have more maneuver in what they do, so they used that opportunity to be… beside him.
"…"
Davis wrapped the scroll and turned to look at them, who were equally concentrated in their studies. They occasionally went 'aah~' and 'ooh~', not because he did anything ambiguous to them, but he occasionally showcased his life energy which caused the herbs here to grow plenty fast.
They were exhilarated and moved to sense its wonderful and pure aura while they genuinely exuded femininity in wanting to know more about it.
However, that still didn't warrant them to be with him, and it had been a day already, so he was about to kick them out, but at this moment, a purple-robed woman walked in. Unlike Yotan and Threelotus's luxurious robes that imprinted a scythe, hers was of beautiful thread design, transcending and exotic.
The moment she entered, Yotan and Threelotus's bodies went stiff as though they had met their natural enemy.
It was none other than Evelynn.
Her presence struck fear into their hearts, especially Yotan, who still had felt the trauma of being commanded around by Evelynn when they first met each other.
Evelynn didn't say anything until she appeared before them.
"…!"
However, Yotan and Threelotus suddenly saw Evelynn's third eye opening as all three of her eyes stared daggers at them, causing their scalps to turn numb! Her third eye shone with luminous blue light, causing their bodies to freeze.
'My… my cultivation is sealed…!?'
Both Yotan and Threelotus realized that all three of their cultivations had been sealed simultaneously! However, they quickly tried to break it, utilizing all of their soul prowess.
*Bzzz!~*
Soul force undulations erupted with intensity, but in the next second, they dispersed as though a bucket of water was poured on the fire. It doused them awake out of their trance, causing them to look at the Hex Demoness, who had a nonchalant expression on her face with disbelief.
She… she sealed them? That easily…?
Just now, their confidence had been greatly boosted with them reaching the sixth level of the Ninth Stage and even the seventh level, but to the Hex Demoness in front of them, it took her almost nothing for her to seal them, not even a hint of gathering energy to unleash her technique.
Was the difference between their prowess that steep?
"There was a second delay between the time I released my killing intent and used my Sealing Hex on you two. However, you two only managed to stand up and look dumbfounded, wasting time. If I were an assassin, I could've killed the meditating Davis and easily dealt with you two."
Evelynn raised her chin slightly, possessing a cold look on her face.
"As the Legion Commander and the Vice-Commander, don't you two know that your task is to protect the Legion Master even if it means your death?"
Yotan and Threelotus's expressions became difficult. This was… unfair. How were they supposed to be careful of the Hex Demoness, the first wife of their Legion Master's harem?
"Legion Mistress," Abruptly, Threelotus cupped her hands and bowed, "With all due respect, we didn't expect you to attack us, much less test us. However, from now on, we will be careful of all individuals. Even if we recognize people familiar to the Legion Master, we won't easily let them near Legion Master."
Evelynn stared at her before her expression couldn't help but turn into a sexy smile.
"Good, but I was just warning you two not to take assassins lightly as they will be disguised openly or appear from the shadows. Still, don't let people near him easily, especially other women, and when I say other women, I mean the two of you as well."
"…"
Yotan and Threelotus blushed as they caught a glance of Davis staring at them before he turned to look at the Hex Demoness.
"Evelynn, why bother teasing? You know I'm a soul body..."
"But," Evelynn raised her brows, "Those girls are in their flesh. It's possible for them to seduce you enough to bring your fleshly body here."
Davis's lips twitched, "You really need a spanking, don't you?"
"Ahaha!"
Evelynn turned around and left laughing, daintily shaking her ass, while Davis just shook his head, wondering what she came to stir here when a soul transmission fell on his head.
"I don't mind. I won't go back on my words."
"…"
Davis blinked, not saying anything in response. On the other hand, Yotan and Threelotus felt the Sealing Hex extinguish and disappear as though it had never been there. Such power to make them feel helpless couldn't help but make them feel a deep amount of fear and respect for the Hex Demoness.
However, they understood that she was not a bad person.
Thinking back, it was now clear to Yotan that Evelynn was playing the wicked woman to allow Davis to have revenge on the Soul Palace. However, he chose not to act on it and left them alive. It didn't go like the Vast Sky Emperor Palace, most likely because they chose not to pursue his past transgressions against the Soul Palace. In other words, because Evelynn was hard on her, Davis was able to introspect himself, allowing him to be merciful to her.
Still, the words Evelynn said about them seducing him somehow made them blush that even their ears slightly reddened.
Davis seemingly heaved a sigh and turned to look at Yotan and Threelotus before opening his mouth.
"Don't mind her. I've been an unpleasant husband to her sometimes by being selfish, but hopefully, I can make her become fully trusting of me again when it comes to beautiful women like you two."
"No… we… it's fine."
Yotan wryly smiled while Threelotus had her head lowered. Although it made them elated to be called beautiful, his words couldn't help but make them feel stifled.
Davis blinked at them before he looked away.
"That said, what's happening in Magical Beast Sanctuary Twelve Guardian Clans? What's their progress?"
"Mhm~" Yotan affirmed as her expression became dutiful, "Beauty Everlight said that the Twelve Guardian Clans are all ready to completely submit to you if you can raise at least a King-Tier Magical Beast in them. They also thanked Legion Master for sending them Peak-Level Emperor Grade Resources to help them grow stronger."
"I see. So they're willing to turn from subordinates to loyal subjects. Well, after seeing what I'm capable of in the establishment ceremony of our Reaper Soul Palace, everyone else is raring to swear allegiance. I guess power does really drive most people crazy."
Davis possessed a lazy expression on his face when Threelotus suddenly raised her head and shook her hands.
"Le-Legion Master, we're not like that..."
"I know."
Davis shot a knowing smile, "Otherwise, you all wouldn't be beside me."
Threelotus smiled in relief, turning to look at Yotan before they both caught each other's smiles and smiled more while Davis pursed his lips.
"Now then, will you two lea- Hmm?"
He suddenly went bewildered before it took out a messaging talisman.
"It lit up! The branch lit up!!!"
An overjoyed female voice resounded from the messaging talisman, causing Davis's eyes to widen because he realized that it was Ivy Aries.
"It worked! Hold on. I'm coming towards you right now!"
Before Davis could even reply, the messaging talisman lost its glow, leaving him taken aback before he deeply smiled.
'Ancestor Aries has reincarnated...'
