The Story Never Ends

Chapter 165 - Devil Invasion: Part II

Davion nodded as he would definitely leave in the future when he becomes strong enough to protect himself. Although he was comparable to the Nascent Soul Stage and a powerhouse here, he was still an ant infront of the experts in the Central Region.

Thus, he would wait until he approaches the level equivalent to the Domain Realm before leaving. After all, there were no resources and ways to reach above this realm here.

"Nevertheless, it won't take a couple of years as she said. With my panel, I should reach there in a few months as it's only level 40 by the way," He thought. He had observed that every ten levels were like a breakthrough for him to a new cultivation stage.

"But do you really want to go there? Even though you can join one of the four major sects with your aptitude, that place is much more brutal than you think," She suggested while reminiscing some memories.

"Of course," He firmly replied.

"I…haiz, forget it." She wanted to say something but later shook her head and denied this thought.

"Since you would leave, I should not have allowed you to become a core disciple. Nonetheless, I've promised you already." She shook her head and extended her index finger towards his forehead.

He didn't reject her and simply closed his eyes. However, he would surely retaliate in anger if it was someone else. How could he forget the incident with the bald man?

A huge amount of information slowly poured into his mind but it was not as large as the one he had obtained from the bald man. Only after a few minutes, did she take back her hand.

"I have never taken a single disciple ever in my life and you will also be the same. But since you helped me with an important task and brought my daughter safely, I decided to reward you with this cultivation technique." She said and continued.

"It is a rare lightning-based cultivation technique from the central region that is suitable for you. It helps you to reach all the way to the Domain Realm."

"Thank you, elder," Davion was very grateful.

"You don't need to be so thankful to me. Since this technique is from the Central Region, it is quite difficult to grasp and get started at first. But I will not help you with it as you are not my disciple ultimately. So, just consider it as a trade," She explained.

"This…" Davion became speechless. He found her character completely similar to Leyla. They didn't want to suffer any sort of losses. So, he was sure that this technique might be impossible to learn by himself and must have some harsh requirements.

Seeing his reaction, she smiled, "Hehe, how can cultivation be this easy? You have to work harder."

"I understand." Davion simply nodded but he was smiling inside. How can a mere cultivation technique stand a chance against his golden finger? It would be learned in a jiffy.

"I believe in you. Especially your holy physique." She praised him.

"Ok! I'm leaving." She waved her hands and was about to leave when all of a sudden, some big explosions sounded from outside.

"BOOM…BOOM"

"What is happening?" Her expression changed instantly and she flew into the air to look.

"Danny, Ryland, you two, stay here and wait for me. I'm going too." Without waiting for them to respond, he sent a bit of his spiritual energy into the badge and the defensive formation of the courtyard finally activated.

A circular dome covered all of them, and he took out the mask given by Liliana straight away. He put it on and soared to the sky.

When he reached above, he could eventually see what had occurred and it made him shell-shocked.

Clouds of black smoke were rising from everywhere outside of the sect and the sky was darkening as a result.

"Damn, those devils dare to strike our territories so blatantly."

"Who gave them the guts?"

"Maybe the devil kings. I can sense a lot of them."

"Humph! Don't they know that infront of us Domain Realm experts, they are weak as chickens?"

Many voices were heard in the air, and Davion could see all the elders emerging out from the Elder's Peak. In addition to them, Davion could see many young men and women flying out from his peak.

They were all wearing the traditional robes of the Thunderbolt Sect and were radiating strong energy. So, he recognized them right away.

"They should be the core disciples," he muttered while observing them.

While he was setting his eyes over them, they also perceived him. He could clearly feel their Divine Senses sweeping past him. Previously he couldn't detect this but after leveling up more, such things couldn't escape past his senses.

"It seems like in level 30, I was just a noob similarly to the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage where one's senses are just developing." He mused and released a little bit of his aura.

This instantaneously made it impossible for them to see through him and made them wary. They realized the person ahead of them was no pushover. So, they withdrew their senses and looked at him curiously. They wanted to know who this new core disciple was as they had never seen him.

"Who are you?" The most eye-catching disciple among them finally broke the silence. He had blue pupils and long blue-colored hair with frequent lightning flashing around them. This made him look badass and even Davion was impressed.

But he would definitely not compliment him. After all, he had to act like the mysterious and powerful masked man.

"They call me the masked man, the harbinger of chaos and the nightmare of all devil kings." He arrogantly introduced himself while also flashing some lightning around him.

"So, he is the one whom Elder Warren wanted to take in as a disciple."

"Yeah, I heard he slew two devil kings in a month."

"He looks cool and haughty like how he had been described by others."

"Since he's here, doesn't this mean that he has broken through already and is one of us?"

"Indeed. But who could be his master?"

The disciples gossiped with each other.

"So, it's you." The blue-haired boy had definitely heard about him.

"Humm, now why don't you introduce yourselves?" Davion asked as he didn't know any one of them.

"What! How could he not know him?"

"Senior Brother Bryant is famous all over the Inner Region for being the most stunning man."

"What are you talking about? He has the strength to back it up too. He is nearing the late stage of the Nascent Soul State."

The disciples were amazed.

This made Bryant's expression ugly. He felt he had lost some face here. Nonetheless, he didn't get angry and create trouble.

"It has been a long time since I had to introduce myself. I am Bryant, the number one core disciple of the Sect and the personal disciple of the Sect Master." He smiled. He was confident the other person would call him Senior Brother promptly with respect.

"Oh! It's you," Davion also had the same reaction as Bryant.

"Humph! Who's the one behind you?" He asked. For a person to be this arrogant, a powerful elder must have taken him as a personal disciple.

Davion was about to reply when the elders abruptly appeared ahead of them.

"The Sect Master has notified us to go there at once and rescue the civilians. Let's leave." It was elder Vance who had spoken. He took out a large spiritual artifact from his spirit ring and jumped onto it.

It was a ship having many decks and compartments where one could stay. Following him, the other elders also leaped into it. Then only it was the disciples' turn.

The disciples one by one went in and when it was Davion's turn one of the elders suddenly asked, "Who are you?"

The elders finally noticed him.

"I…" Before he could speak, Liliana interrupted them.

"He is my disciple. The popular masked man."

"Oh!!" The elders all exclaimed at the same time except Vance.

"Greetings Elders," Davion bowed, showing some courtesy.

"A promising disciple." The elders blandly said. From this, one could see that the elders didn't want to get too close with him. This was all because of the relationship with Liliana.

However, a middle-aged elder having short hair approached Davion and patted his shoulder.

"You made me worried when you went missing. Now I know why you didn't want to become my disciple," He shook his head.

"Who could have thought that you had already found a master? But you can still ask for my help if you fall into any difficulties in the future." He had a warm smile on his face.

"I will, elder." Davion knew that it was Elder Warren ahead of him.

Elder Warren nodded and returned. Seeing this, Davion also leaped in.

When the ship was ready to leave, Liliana suddenly declared, "My task is over here. I am going into seclusion."

It looked like she was here to only introduce Davion.

"Ok!" Vance agreed instantly without hesitation before the other elders could create some issues.

Liliana didn't say anything more and disappeared. It was time for her to breakthrough.
