Chapter 1124 Unable To Let Go

*Clank!~*

Davis and Ancestor Dian Alstreim watched the empty air capture the sword. No, the vague form of a womanly silhouette appeared, its hand grasping the hilt of the Peak-Level King Grade Sword, which Davis threw with killing intent. However, the hand holding the sword trembled, and the blurry silhouette of the womanly figure faded away, revealing the face of a beauty that stunned both Davis and Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

Snow-white hair, and a pair of sapphire eyes that dimly illuminated like a pearl. Her figure was curvy, almost voluptuous.

"You're a Supreme Soul Stage Expert... How...?" The woman tremblingly muttered as she looked at Davis. However, when she noticed Ancestor Dian Alstreim's gaze, her body trembled as she blurted, "Dia-"

"Tirea!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression changed as he bellowed and rushed towards her in an instant.

Crimson flames surged around his hands as he unleashed a palm towards her. It turned into a flaming blaze spear that struck Ancestor Tirea Snow and exploded.

A bloodied figure seemed to collapse from the impact of the attack, and the sword flew in another direction as it twisted and clanged against the floor.

Ancestor Tirea Snow let out a grunt as she fell towards the ground while Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression changed as he quickly rushed towards her.

Davis's expression was a bit solemn as he summoned Nadia beside him. Since the Falling Snow Sect's Ancestor had found out his true power, he knew that he would have to kill her. However, he was momentarily shocked to see that she forgot to defend herself.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim seemed as if he was going to help her with how he moved, but he changed his posture and pinned down Ancestor Tirea Snow with his body.

At the same time, a formation activated inside the Ancestral Hall, and a magic circle with intimidating lines appeared, seemingly ready to unleash havoc on Ancestor Tirea Snow upon complete activation!

Davis became shocked to see that it had the power to unleash a Ninth Stage Powerhouses' attack! However, judging by the intensity he had never even got a glimpse of before, it seemed that it could kill a Ninth Stage Powerhouse?

All this takes time to explain but happened in a mere two seconds.

"Why did you come here!?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim gritted his teeth so hard that he felt like it would shatter. He tightly held Ancestor Tirea Snow's wrists as he pinned her down the floor.

Once he was pushed away, he was prepared to unleash the killing formation upon her. However, he felt like millions of needles had struck his heart! He had thought that it was that reckless b.a.s.t.a.r.d Elizar Yantra who snuck into this place, but he didn't expect that it was her instead!

Ancestor Tirea Snow struggled with just her physical prowess that was at the Martial Master Stage. However, her struggle abruptly died down without Ancestor Dian Alstreim even having to do anything. She didn't even wear a veil, and her moist eyes looked a bit swollen.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression trembled.

He pulled back his right hand; his fist pointed towards her face. Blazing hot crimson flames surged out from the crevices of his fingers, swirling and lighting up the surroundings. Ancestor Dian Alstreim only needed to throw a punch, and Ancestor Tirea Snow's head might explode. However...

Blood leaked from his lips as he screamed, "Tell me!? Why did you come here!?"

"Why now!? At this moment!?"

His suffering expression reflected in Ancestor Tirea Snow's sapphire pupils, making her expression tremble before she turned her face away.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's fist trembled, and he looked as if he was going to mourn.

Ancestor Tirea Snow came to know that Davis was a Supreme Soul Stage Expert. As a person from a rival power, she might try to eliminate him. Even if she was just and wouldn't do something like that, it was inevitable that she would leak the information. There was no way he could let her go, and would have to kill!

In the Ancestral Hall, even a Mid-Level Law Rune Stage Powerhouse should be careful because they could easily die to the killing formation towering above him! Killing Ancestor Tirea Snow at this moment was entirely possible!

But how could he bear to!?

"Kill me..." A low voice emerged, startling Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

He was suddenly unable to comprehend.

"... I deserve it... kill me..." The voice was already starting to sob.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim blinked before he subconsciously turned to look at his flaming fist that was about to kill.

"AH!" He let out a startled cry as he jerked back, but his expression changed again as he knew that he let her go. However, his body remained frozen as his expression became ugly.

Why? Why was it that he was unable to unleash the killing formation even though he was prepared!?

His body trembled, trying to activate the formation plate that was present inside his sleeve in the form of a bracelet. It took only an influx of the right amount of essence energy to activate it, and yet, he was unable to do it!

'Am I really unable to let go of the past...?'

Ancestor Dian Alstreim cast a glance at Davis and saw that he was safe with his new magical beast mount before turning to look at the only woman he was unable to kill.

The only saving grace was Ancestor Tirea Snow laid down as if she refused to move, muttering something along the lines of "kill me, I don't deserve to live..." like a person who had lost their will to live.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim took a deep breath before he moved to her side, his expression indifferent, "For sneaking into the Ancestral Hall like this, you do indeed deserve death, but I cannot kill you without knowing why you came here."

"What are you after? Is it Davis?" He coldly asked.

Ancestor Tirea Snow's expression trembled. She turned her head and looked at him, her eyes moist with tears while her lips quivered.

"I betrayed you..."

"What?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes.

"I betrayed our love... I deserve a thousand deaths!" Tears of blood fell from Ancestor Tirea Snow's moist eyes that went crimson red as she called out in a hoa.r.s.e voice.

"Dian!~~~"

*Bzzz!~*

Her undulations became chaotic and turbulent. All of her three energies erupted, but it didn't throw away Ancestor Dian Alstreim but caused him to become dumbfounded as his heart fell upon hearing her confession.

Amidst her three energies that run amok, there was a particular type of energy that Davis had never experienced before.

"Soul King..." Davis muttered.

Ancestor Tirea Snow had entered the King Soul Stage! This meant that she became the first Soul King of the Falling Snow Sect, and yet here she was, not defending against an attack, refusing to counterattack after being found out before miserably wailing like a heartbroken and doleful woman.

'What's happening...? Are these two actually lovers...?' Davis saw as he turned his head towards Ancestor Dian Alstreim shower in her turbulent undulations and saw his stiff expression that looked as if refusing to bend.

"Ancestor!" The door to the hall opened, and numerous figures rushed in, yet at the same time, Davis instantly used his soul force that bordered on the peak of Mature Soul Stage to raise a veil that blocked their vision.

"Get out!" He bellowed.

They all stopped, but noticing that the voice was from a brat, they were about to rush in when another voice echoed out.

"I said, immediately get out! No one should enter until I say so!"

The figures became stunned before they consented in a beat, "Yes!"

They all flew here from nearby Grand Elder Hall in a few seconds, and yes, they were all Grand Elders. Grand Elder Krax Alstreim was also present, and he took the initiative to send the others first before he headed out last.

As soon as they flew out, Davis was unable to hold the veil of concealment as it got shattered from the continuous impact of the turbulent undulations. He heaved a sigh and looked at Ancestor Dian Alstreim knock Ancestor Tirea Snow out in a single motion, causing her to faint.

'Knocking out a Ninth Stage Powerhouse...?' Davis's eyes twitched. He felt that it was only possible because Ancestor Tirea Snow had gone crazy, seemingly wanting to die.

Rather than coming to deal with him, it seemed that she had some business with Ancestor Dian Alstreim? And although she seemed shaken by his Soul Forging Cultivation, it appeared as if another matter had already shaken her mind greatly.

He then saw Ancestor Dian Alstreim take her into his arms before he flashed towards the platform. A white bed appeared, and he placed her on it. She blended in like the snow with her white clothes while Ancestor Dian Alstreim reached out his hand and wiped the tears of blood on her face with his finger, a sorrowful light flas.h.i.+ng past his eyes.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's gaze lingered on her for a few seconds before he turned to look at Davis, a grateful look appearing on his face.

"I apologize for this mess... and, thank you..."

Davis nodded but stayed silent.

He turned to look at Ancestor Tirea Snow's fainted figure and was somewhat astonished to see that lofty character be this defenseless. He could tell that she entered here using the Falling Snow Sect's grand movement technique, the Nethersnow Mirage Steps, bypa.s.sing all normally active defensive formations, but as soon as he sensed an anomaly appearing near him, he instantly threw a Peak-Level King Grade Sword that he had obtained as a gift from one of the youths from the Alstreim Family towards her, shattering her concealment.

If it weren't for his senses that almost reached the King Soul Stage, he knew that perhaps he wouldn't have been able to notice this anomaly. A few minutes pa.s.sed in silence before he could no longer hold back his curiosity.

"Is Ancestor Tirea Snow your lover by any chance?"

"Lover?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim's expression shook before he wryly smiled at Davis, "We..."
