Just a while ago, Davis didn't have Elder Zeno Alstreim in his eyes but rather looked down on him, wanting the Alstreim Family to meet out punishment to Elder Zeno Alstreim instead of taking action by himself.

But now...

Davis's eyes possessed a deep glint that bordered on almost subconsciously unleashing his deathly killing intent!

All this time, the main perpetrator who caused his mother to suffer wasn't Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, Nora Alstreim, or Elder Zeno Alstreim but this unknown bastard known as Faragin who belonged to the Yantra Family. It was relatively clear it was this soul body who controlled Elder Zeno Alstreim's actions!

'Since he is an outsider, there is no need to hold back, right?'

Davis slowly raised his hands, almost pointing at the fleeing bell before he suddenly stopped.

'With Ancestor Dian Alstreim pursuing Faragin Yantra, his fate is already sealed, and the lifespan thread I saw confirms this point likewise... There's no need for me to reveal my trump cards needlessly...'

Davis lowered his hand as he thought of it like this, but his expression was rather painted somber.

To think that not only the entire Alstreim Family was deceived, but even he was almost misled.

First, it was Algos Yantra who targeted Agis Stirlander's mansion, and now, it was this Faragin Yantra who schemed against Claire in the past and even tried to poison him in the present. It was not far-fetched to say that he began to feel an intense surge of hostility, forming a personal grudge towards the Yantra Family!

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's lips trembled as blood leaked from his mouth.

He recognized the bell glowing with white light as the Illusory Yantra King Bell, a famous illusory artifact that the Grand Elders of the Yantra Family used to trap their opponents into an illusion before becoming capable of easily killing them!

There was even a case where a Grand Elder of the Yantra Family was said to have instakilled a similar Peak-Level Law Sea Stage Expert with it, making it a renowned treasure, eventually earning it a reputation to become a legacy artifact that was passed down through the generations of Yantra Family's Patriarchs.

He had seen the current Yantra Family's Patriarch before, so he was aware that it could not be him but someone else!

Nevertheless, the confusion he had on why his attack failed was cleared up as he saw the bell.

It wasn't that it was an unknown attack that canceled his Crimson Chakram Blade Technique, but he was fooled into believing an illusion. He had mistakenly believed that his Crimson Chakram Blade Technique was about to collapse by Elder Zeno Alstreim's mysterious attack when in reality, it was he who was unknowingly took back his technique, making it collapse while also incurring a backlash.

But didn't this also mean that someone was forcing Elder Zeno Alstreim to scheme all this time?

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's expression became ugly.

Exactly who in the Fifty-Two Territories, or especially from the Flowing Mist Sect, had possessed his loyal subordinate and from when exactly? How could he not notice this!? He suddenly became full of blame for himself and even felt like killing himself for this blunder!

Nevertheless, it was just a momentary emotion that quickly transformed into hate for the enemy!

"Ancestor! Burn that bastard to ashes!" He bellowed in rage!

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's speed was tremendous! He instantly shot past Faragin Yantra in a few seconds and made him stop as his scorching crimson flames started to encase the surroundings, trying to imprison Faragin Yantra.

"Old ghost! I already ordered you to state your name and leave your life behind. Why make this needlessly difficult for me when you know that you have no way to escape from me, and even if by any chance you did, the killing formation will gladly activate for you in my Grand Alstreim City."

Faragin Yantra didn't reply. The bell that glowed with an illusory white light trembled.

"It's useless..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim calmly uttered and was about to summon his Law Rune again.

The Fire Rune he condensed when he broke through the Law Rune Stage, Cleansing Purgatory, not only possessed a direct offensive prowess but also fairly negated almost all forms of hypnotic control and illusions! That's why even the Yantra Family's Ancestor didn't dare to take him head-on! Much less needs to be said about this person whose soul and Soul Forging Cultivation seems to be at Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage! He could easily turn him into cinders with his Ninth Stage Cultivation!

However, Faragin Yantra saw that and instantly stopped using the illusory artifact's ability. The bell stopped trembling, but it still appeared as if it could let out its ability any moment.

"Stop! Alstreim Family's Ancestor! If you pursue or attack me, I will instantly kill everyone who I have placed a deadly seal on, and this includes Immeth Alstreim as well as a few Elders! Your cultivators will all die with me!!! Hahaha!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim also stopped as he narrowed his eyes.

'A bluff?'

He was still calm, and his Level Two Heart Intent that reached a hundred meters with the help of his soul force received chaotic feedback. Due to the enemy's Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage Cultivation, he was unable to garner the opponent's true intent, becoming incapable of differentiating the truth from falsehood.

He became hesitant to sacrifice those Elders because he thought it was possible to do something about this seal with Davis and himself working together. Besides, Immeth Alstreim still needed to confess her wrongs so that he and everyone could understand which party was truly in the wrong in their Alstreim Family.

But if things ended like this, the family's stability would undoubtedly drop to a cold freezing point, not to mention that it was unknown how many Elders would die... but...

"A few sacrifices like Zeno Alstreim are necessary for the family to survive and possibly flourish. If a few rats had the audacity to stay silent about being possessed or having been placed a seal while endangering the Family like Zeno Alstreim, then they all deserve to turn into ashes just as much as him!!!"

The crimson flames that formed a sphere around them contracted!

Faragin Yantra's expression starkly fell as he knew that his threat didn't work. His hazy soul body shook!

"No!!! Who do you think I am!? I am the grand Flowing Mist Sect's prodigy, Faragin Yantra!"

"If you kill me, not only would my Yantra Family would be out for vengeance, but the entire Flowing Mist Sect would amass its experts and destroy the Alstreim Family!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim became shocked as he heard the name!

Faragin Yantra... it was a name that resounded in the Nine Eastern Territories thousands of years ago, a few generations before Ancestor Dian Alstreim was born. He was a dashing youth who followed the path of tri-cultivation, always maintaining an equilibrium with his three cultivation systems.

Alas, as years passed and his cultivation base increased, it became difficult for him to keep an equilibrium between his three cultivation systems. However, Faragin Yantra did not give up and concentrated on his lagging Soul Forging Cultivation instead of breaking into the Ninth Stage, Law Rune Stage.

He did his best but to break through to the Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage but had reached old age by the time he managed to bring his cultivation into equilibrium again.

Then, as an ordinary Elder, he lived his life as a Law Sea Stage Expert for thousands of years before something crazy was announced by the Flowing Mist Sect around two thousand years ago! It was announced that Faragin Yantra had entered closed-door cultivation to break into the King Soul Stage, giving him an opportunity to become the first Soul King of the Flowing Mist Sect!

Many powers were shaken by this heavy statement from the Flowing Mist Sect at that time, becoming nervous about the power equilibrium between the nine powers.

Nonetheless, the hype soon died down as it was announced that Faragin Yantra had passed away in closed-door cultivation around two thousand years ago, causing the Flowing Mist Sect, especially the Yantra Family, to become a laughing stock since they were the ones who made a bold announcement.

After all, breakthroughs at the highest stage were made in secrecy since no one wanted their breakthroughs to be sabotaged by their enemies, especially some opportunists.

But to think that he was still alive... Ancestor Dian Alstreim could now tell that this Faragin Yantra perhaps tried to breakthrough into the King Soul Stage using the Undaunted Purple Lotus but ultimately failed and managed to keep his soul intact, leaving him nothing with his soul-body in the end.

After all, the Supreme Soul Stage provided an additional lifespan of two thousand years to the soul. Even if he died a natural death now, Ancestor Dian Alstreim knew that he could still live as a soul for two thousand years.

In any case, it was just as he thought. The one who had the audacity to infiltrate the Alstreim Family was an old ghost that was just one step away from its death bed.

"Hmph! A mere old ghost has the audacity to claim its past glories. Do you really think your family's Ancestor or the Flowing Mist Sect would avenge a man who is on the brink of death? At best, you have a few tens of years to live, but the way you are here now, it is more likely they wanted to use you to the fullest before throwing your lifeless body back in the Yantra Family into a casket, burying it into the ground!"

"You!!-" Faragin Yantra became incensed, but looking at the surrounding flames about to engulf him, he let out an anguished shout, "Curse you! Dian Alstreim!!!"

"Just you wait!!! My Yan- Ahhhhh!!!-"

Faragin Yantra's soul body became instantly purged, and his voice disappeared with the wind, only leaving the Mid-Level Emperor Grade Artifact behind.

With a wave of his hand, Ancestor Dian Alstreim collected the treasure and looked around to see that none of the Elders have died before he gave a command.

"Krax, check if any life tablets of the Elders had shattered in the Life Tablet Hall."

After saying that, he directly cast his gaze towards a young woman who went pale upon noticing his gaze.

"Immeth Alstreim... I didn't know that you were Zeno Alstreim's daughter..." His eyes flashed with scrutiny as he calmly echoed, "Or are you Faragin Yantra's daughter?"
