Chapter 679 Third Level Of Ethren City

"It’s likely the case but we don’t truly know! That person only has his soul body left and refuses to cough up any information even with the countless torture methods we know... We tried using soul seals that would make one a slave but all of those failed regardless because that person is undoubtedly at Low-Level Mature Soul Stage!"

"Yes, yes.." The other subordinate echoed, "We had to waste a lot of time just to capture him! His soul body’s speed was so fast that the Eighth Stage Experts of the Ethren Empire; the Royal Protectors had to step in and encircle him to stop him from escaping!"

Davis wasn’t surprised.

With his soul body, he could shuttle a hundred kilometers per second if he wanted to, and since his avatar was also a soul type body, it could also travel at faster speeds.

"Senior, the custody of that person remains with the Ethren Empire’s control for now, and we have contacted our senior, Lord Envoy for advice."

"Lord Envoy asked us to seek the Conferred Queen’s protector for help, at least until our senior make it here within a few hours."

Davis harrumphed.

"Are you two telling me to get involved in diplomatic relations between master and servant powers?"

The two people reacted as their expressions changed.

"No, Senior! We and the Ethren Family sincerely invite you to as a mark of respect and last resort. We have already invited the Grand Elder of the Thousand Pill Palace but even the Grand Elder is unable to do much as that person seems to be able to withstand the pain and torture inflicted by soul flames."

Davis narrowed his eyes.

The Grand Elder of the Ethren Empire’s Thousand Pill Palace Branch is known to be at Peak-Level Mature Soul Stage, just like him but it is obvious that he would come up on top sure to his strengthened soul in terms of soul force and soul essence.

A few seconds passed in dead silence.

The two subordinates patiently waited and didn’t dare to utter a word.

"Lead the way..." Davis stated in a deep voice, making the two in front of him reveal excited expressions over their faces.

Then without delay, they started partaking in the protector’s silent nature while praising him to the ends of the heavens, saying how he could just take that crippled person into submission.

One was a structure and the other was a structural artifact, a construct in other words.

He then took his gaze away as he quickly lost interest. In the distance, the scorched empty space came into his view. The fire attributed Law Sea Stage undulations still remained in the surrounding atmosphere, almost making them think that the Second Prince was still alive somewhere within the range of these undulations.

Davis could only cast a pitiful look of these fake actors who seem to be mourning for the death of the Second Prince in the vicinity of the ruined Royal Palace.

"Senior, some of these people believe that the Second Prince did nothing wrong, especially his birth mother over there who claims that her son had been plotted against by the First Prince."

Davis saw the beautiful woman with fair skin and curvy proportions. She looked so pitiable that even Davis felt a tinge of wanting to console her. However, when he listened to her speech which was full of grievance and anger, he mused.

’Oh? She’s making quite the serious allegations... Well, now that her son is dead, perhaps her standing in the harem will drop, so it is understandable that she is trying to drag the Empress with her...’

Davis felt like he instantly saw through her facade but wasn’t sure of it neither did he wanted to ponder deeply about it.

He left this place and saw numerous people to the side clamor as they watch a distant theatrical performance.

Except, it wasn’t a theatrical performance but a suppression of the mysterious shadow expert by eight Low-Level Law Sea Stage Experts who were none other than the Royal Protectors.

Davis heard that there were thirty experts in the Ethren Empire who were at the Eighth Stage, and it was common knowledge in the second level, so he was not surprised that eight of them were used to suppress a single Low-Level Mature Soul Stage Soul.

It wasn’t difficult for a single one of them to suppress and kill this soul body in a few seconds but while making the soul body only tremble and not retaliate, numerous Eighth Stage Experts were needed.

Otherwise, the slippery nature of the soul body would just make it easier for it to escape or die a simple yet quick death. They needed to entirely suppress it while not harming it.

Hence, only a soul could be used to properly and carefully restrain another soul.

Once Davis flew above the crowd and entered the area, almost everyone turned to look at him as their gazes also cast an invisible pressure.

Fortunately, he was rather used to these scenarios, having to face higher stage experts while he was at a lower stage or level, so he relatively remained calm headed.

The two subordinates in front of him were seen more arrogant, their condescending gaze clearly stating that they managed to bring that ’Senior’; the Conferred Queen’s Protector to this place.
