Chapter 1386: Rendezvous Outside The Burning Phoenix Ridge

Just as Sect Master Lea Weiss was about to speak, a staunch voice interrupted.

"However, personally, I'm interested in this matter as I'm unable to divine the truth. If Sect Master Lea Weiss finds even a trace of evidence, please reach out to me. I'll be glad to help. Or if you have lost faith in my divination, please call someone who has powerful divination arts than mine, although I muse that this matter can only be uncovered by two of our Grand Elders or our Sect Master who possesses the Karmic Guardian Physique."

Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver waved his hand as a unique and specialized stone that seemed to be messaging stone fell on Sect Master Lea Weiss's hands that she reached out, nodding her head.

"I understand the concern Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver has for our power, and I would like to invite if the opportunity arises again."

Sect Master Lea Weiss replied.

However, she inwardly felt annoyed by the massive amount of wealth she had to spend to bring this Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver to divine. She had wanted to finish off Grand Elder Valerian and didn't spare the cost, but the result was unexpectedly disappointing. She never expected the divination to fail.

As for inviting the Heaven Gazing Sect's Sect Leader, that was impossible, and for those two Grand Elders, they would cost a fortune, severely affecting the workings of the Burning Phoenix Ridge.

It was something she couldn't afford to spend despite the towering wealth they possessed.

Moreover, she mused that if Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver was someone who was secretly in cahoots with Grand Elder Valerian all this time, then she would be the loser because this man might quickly ruin any newly found evidence.

Even if she wanted to complain to the Heaven Gazing Sect that there was a righteous scumbag in their home, she had to do so with concrete evidence. But still, she somewhat believed that this man who required to restrain his emotions in order to have this kind of prowess in divination could not have his hands stained in evil.

However, she had no idea what kind of manual the Blind Heavens Scouring Divination was to judge his true character, so she simply gave him the benefit of the doubt while still remaining cautious.

'Should I divine my future...? Or perhaps, divine that Elder Chu Feng's true identity, or even his whereabouts...?

A few questions appeared in her mind as she felt threatened by that powerless Elder Chu Feng. He knew her secret because of Shirley's mess up, but she couldn't tell if that was a mess up or intentional because what kind of a woman would tell her deepest secret if the other party wasn't important?

"Is there anything else, Sect Master Lea Weiss?"

Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver's indifferent voice resounded, making Sect Master Lea Weiss come out of her reverie before she closed her eyes, recalling the exchange she last had with that Elder Chu Feng.

'Killing Valerian... Mhm, I wonder how you could achieve that, but to think that I have to consider getting help from someone like you to kill Valerian when I can do it myself if only just this Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver were able to find the true culprit which I still muse that it is Valerian.'

'I find myself laughable, needing a valid reason when I'm already burning with the intent to kill...'

She inwardly sighed before she moved her lips hidden behind the veil.

"There is nothing else, Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver."

"Grand Elder Claus Strom and Grand Elder Artur Schatz. See to that Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver is safely escorted back to the Heaven Gazing Sect. We do not want wicked path powers suddenly ambushing us, and neither will we take any chances even when our two powers are side by side."

"Understood...!" Both Grand Elders bowed deeply.

"I thank Sect Master Lea Weiss's understanding." Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver lightly smiled, "Sometimes, I fear that Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross might suddenly appear to take revenge on me. Truth be told, if Burning Phoenix Ridge wasn't our neighbor, I would find it hard-pressed to carry my shoes here because I am aware that the moment I come face to face with that person would be the end of my life."

Sect Master Lea Weiss's eyes smiled, "Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver don't need to be worried that much. When the Soul Palace exiled and hunted Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross, they deeply injured him before he managed to escape. Moreover, since the Soul Palace is just to the south of us, it is unlikely that Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross might be secretly roaming around, taking his chances to exact revenge on you, unless, of course, he has fully recovered."

"But if Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross has fully recovered already, the escort would be useless as I would lose two Grand Elders while the Heaven Gazing Sect would lose their genius Mystic Diviner."

A wry smile couldn't help but appear on Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver's face.

"Sect Master Lea Weiss is right, but when I gambled to reveal the wrongdoings of Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross, I was aware of the consequences. Justice should always prevail, and men should remain righteous to the best of their ability. Otherwise, it is the innocent people who would suffer which I can't bear to see and even have my eyes closed due to it."

'Or you just miscalculated, failing to consider that the Soul Palace would fail to finish off Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross.' Sect Master Lea Weiss let out a peal of soft giggling, "Hehe, if some of the men here are righteous enough, I might be the most felicitous Sect Master in the world, letting me be carefree enough to concentrate on my cultivation."

She shot a look at Grand Elder Artur Schatz as she said so, who upon both trembled upon hearing her laughter and moved his gaze away to avoid eye contact. He belonged to Grand Elder Valerian's camp and could tell Sect Master Lea Weiss's meaning.

"Sect Masters have their own problems like this..." Honorable Elder Aemilian Weaver stood up, clasping his hands before he lightly bowed, "It was good exchanging some opinions with your majestic self. I'll take my leave now."

Sect Master Lea Weiss nodded her head, watching them leave before she was all alone in her throne, plus cultivation hall. If she so desired, she could begin her closed-door cultivation on top of this burning phoenix throne that greatly enhanced the circulation of her essence energy and soul force, as well as giving her benefits in terms of comprehension.

However...

'Sigh, Valerian has once again escaped while using some unknown method. He would absolutely not take the humiliation I caused him lying down, returning to harass me while I won't stop until I get revenge for Rakaela.'

Her eyes looked tired as she watched the closed door of the hall in exhaustion.

'I wonder... what is the true meaning of life?'

A sigh escaped from her mouth again before she sat cross-legged, continuing with her cultivation that she found profoundly monotonous by this point but still having the will and motivation to reach the apex she desired.

Outside the Burning Phoenix Ridge's territory, a few hundreds of kilometers away, there stood two Elders of the Burning Phoenix Ridge, looking around as if they were searching for something.

"Curses! Where did he go!? He had just crossed this mountain and plunged before he disappeared. Check if there is an entrance to the mountain like a cave or something...!"

A crimson-robed man shouted as he grit his teeth, looking annoyed yet nervous. He and another crimson-robed elder searched for a blue-haired youth's silhouette, but they failed to find him even after searching for five more minutes.

"Bastard! He escaped, likely knowing that we were following! Come, let's return and report his suspicious movements."

The other silent Elder nodded his head before they both headed back to the Burning Phoenix Ridge.

After some time, a silhouette manifested a few hundred kilometers away, already recognizing that no one had followed them to the best of their senses.

"Phew... Are they that thirsty to know my background?" A handsome voice echoed as the man shook his head.

This man was none other than Davis Loret, his Solitary Soul Avatar to be exact!

At the same time, another silhouette manifested.

She appeared to be a woman, almost looking like the embodiment of goddess-like beauty with her elegant and aristocratic features, the crescent on her forehead deeply mesmerizing him. Her silky black hair that fell to her waist made her look extremely beautiful in the eyes of the beholder, especially to Davis, who loved long hairs.

"Nadia, you're here..."

Nadia returned a gorgeous smile back to his heartened smile. Her eyes looked tender and ecstatic to see him.

"I'll be anywhere you require me to, Davis."

Davis's smile suddenly turned apologetic, "You're so good to me, Nadia. You don't need to be overly conscious of what you're feeling for me, you know. Don't be silent, just guarding the Purple Guest Palace. Go disturb my main body, and I'm sure I can take some time for you as well."

Nadia blinked, her charming eyelids fluttered as her smile widened, "I don't want to rob you of your little time. I was delighted having Master all to myself back in that sealed lightning space, so I feel that it is fair if you spend this time with your wives."

Davis blinked, not understanding how Nadia could be so considerate.

Were magical beasts considerate? They could be, but he was sure that they would act on their instincts and demand more time like pets, more than humans would ever do so.

"I want to know more about humans, more about you, so I asked Mistress Fiora for help."

"What? You told her that we're lovers already?"
