It took Nadia an hour to align and rally her clan. After all, her clan alone has around more than 5,000 Magical Beasts Sunset Mountain Wolves spread out over this small region.

At their peak, they would have more than 20,000 Sunset Mountain Wolves but the Magical Beast Tide directed by the higher stage Magical Beasts ruling the Sunset Tear Mountain will leave them with no choice other than sending more than half of their clan to war with the humans.

A short moment later, she returned to the peak of the mountain where Davis and Evelynn stayed.

"I have commanded Chuno to guard the Crowned Violet-Winged Condor infants... So, you two can rest assured..."

"Alright, let's move out then..." 

Davis didn't comment much and exited the cave along with them, finally witnessing the dark clouds in the skies and the dark speck of light remaining the same as ever.

It even shined through the dark clouds, well garnering its reputation as a bad omen. 

"Rain?" Evelynn pursed her lips.

The dark clouds above them were rumbling while lightning occasionally flashed, striking the certain surfaces of the mountains and trees.

"Well, it seems like it is going to rain but don't bother about it. We'll use our martial energy to cover our body, preventing us from getting drenched."

Davis uttered and warned Evelynn the obvious as they were already clad in martial energy the moment they witnessed the dark clouds as a precaution. He then blinked and rather heaved a long sigh, thinking about the reunion that almost happened in the Ethren City.

He had simultaneously displayed what had happened to Evelynn using his soul force in the cave, so she knew the sequence of events like it happened in front of her. 

"Your grandfather seemed short-tempered but it also looks like he is suppressing himself a lot. Not once did he reveal his martial energy, did he?" Evelynn suddenly asked.

Davis shook his head. His grandfather completely suppressed his own cultivation, only revealing his hostile intent once in a while, hence, he became unable to garner the other party's Body Tempering Cultivation other than the assuming that it should be at the Seventh Stage.

If not, the Sixth Stage.

As for his grandfather's Soul Forging Cultivation, it was clear as a bright sky to him.

"Low-Level Elder Soul Stage... That's the only cultivation I managed to garner from him. As for his Essence Gathering Cultivation, it is obviously at a crippled state..."

Evelynn nodded her head but narrowed her eyes, "Strangely enough, your half-aunt seems to be interested in you for some reason. I can't tell for what kind of reason though her father seemed to say that nonsensical stuff..."

"Aren't you strangely perceptive when it comes to women?" Davis laughed by the side as he teased her.

Evelynn just rolled her eyes in response as she had already heard this from him many times. It no longer fazed her as she mused, 'So what? I am indeed careful of other women because of you. It is even more so now that I consented you to have another wife! Hmph!'

She inwardly harrumphed. 

As his first wife, she now possessed the mindset to not let him be hoodwinked by any random woman! Embarrassingly enough, she was rather self-aware of how she changed her way of thinking to suit his needs better.

"Mount her..." Davis directed.

Evelynn blinked at looked Nadia who was behind them, listening to their conversation like a blank background.

Nadia looked a little hesitant. Her facial expression revealed ounces of embarrassment before she suggested, "Can we move a few kilometers away before I become your mount?"

Davis inwardly chuckled and nodded his head. He knew that as the clan leader, Nadia couldn't afford to lose face or authority in front of her clan members.

He liked that even though Nadia became a Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Magical Beast, she didn't show any arrogance in front of them. Well, there was also the matter of him squashing her arrogance the moment she displayed her prowess through finding her in the shadows. Hence, it could be seen that she rather became tame because of him.

Davis jumped off the cliff and flew away while Evelynn closely followed beside him. 

Nadia's eyes flashed as she too took flight behind them. However, her figure slowly turned hazy as a shadow and entirety disappeared from the eyesight of others. 

Cultivators who were below the Seventh Stage would probably have an extremely hard time finding her out in the open. The dark attribute of Nadia's body further enhanced her concealment capabilities. Additionally, the absence of sunlight aided her in hiding among open eyesight.

Even Davis felt that if he hadn't experienced a breakthrough to the High-Level Mature Soul Stage, perhaps, he would only be slightly able to feel her presence at this point.

The three of them traveled over the valley for a few tens of kilometers as Nadia requested. She wilfully appeared to the front of their sight, indicating that it was alright for them to mount her.

Davis first eyed Evelynn, telling her to mount Nadia with just his look as he didn't want to repeat himself twice.

Evelynn nodded her head and carefully yet prudently flew over to Nadia's back. 

Nadia had already transformed into a nine-meter tall wolf. Her reddish-brown fur that became slightly tinged with ink-black was prominent over her entire body other than her spine and twin tails which were jet black in color.

Evelynn flew above Nadia and slowly first touched Nadia's fur with her palm.

'So soft...' 

Her first impression flashed past her mind before she looked at Nadia watch her with calm eyes. Evelynn pursed her lips and sat over her black fur, finding herself seated in a rather comfy position.

It was even comfortable than their own bed...

Evelynn blinked and a smile subconsciously filled her face. She turned to look at Davis, her eyes seeming to say, "Look! I'm mounted on a Sixth Stage Magical Beast!!"

Davis looked at her genuinely smile like a child and he somehow felt satisfied that making Nadia their mount was worth it.

He inwardly chuckled and spoke, "Nadia, since you became our mount, I'll give you a single task for the moment. Carry Evelynn behind your back and protect her at all costs."

"Yes!" 

Nadia replied with a single word of acknowledgment.

Evelynn became surprised and suddenly thought, 'Is this why he told Nadia to become our mount instead of claiming her life since she is now also within his target list?'

She knew that Davis was hunting Magical Beasts above Mid-Level Saint Beast Stage for some reason. Whether if it was for wealth or testing his prowess she didn't know.

And now, Nadia had become a Peak-Level Saint Beast Stage Magical Beasts, hence, it is well within reason for him to challenge or hunt and claim her life but he didn't do so, confusing her initially.

'Was it for me?'

Evelynn instantly became heartened as her heart delayed a beat.

Although narcissistic, it was well within reasoning for her to think that way.

Davis flew through the valley of the two mountains and made his way to inwards. Nadia followed behind his back promptly without saying anything but she also wondered by he didn't mount her.

Evelynn was feeling the same but she didn't ask as well.

The next moment, she felt dark attribute energy surround her as if it were going to devour her. She abruptly felt overwhelmed as her heart almost stopped beating for a moment! 

However, nothing worthy of mishap occurred to her.
