Chapter 394 One Of Us?
Davis, Clara, and Mo Mingzhi were in the airspace above the Sky Grade Defensive Formation. It was the one he set up to not allow anyone into this place, whether through nook or cranny, above or underground. It was impossible to enter or exit unless he removed the restriction placed on the defensive formation.
The troops inside the defensive formation were still unconscious, with one or two of them being awake but not able to move.
He didn't restrict their movements nor did Clara but the pain they would've felt in their souls from his suppression through soul force left them unable to move as if they had a paralytic attack.
He turned to look at the troops who were still there and wondered why they didn't heed his warnings but then realized they were wearing another type of pieces of equipment collectively.
'A new battalion?' He mused and turned to look at one of the tents, from which an old man came running fast in his direction but seemed incredibly slow to him.
"So this is the rumored holy land, the ancient site which the government is keeping silent, and maintaining secrecy about, even to us, the general police..." Mo Mingzhi spoke with an interested expression on her face as she turned to look at Davis.
Though she was a senior investigator, her security and level clearance wasn't at a high level as only the higher-ups of the general police, middle-level and above military personnel would receive information about this sight.
Suddenly, she flailed and adjusted her body balance while floating in the air with them. Her feet and arms were covered by his Soul Force, so she could literally float and move since her movements weren't restricted.
When she first flew, her expression was one of fear, but only excitement remained as she soared through the skies.
"So you came from this place, right?"
Davis nodded, "Last chance, are you sure that you want to come with us?"
Mo Mingzhi promptly nodded with a calm expression on her face.
Seeing her be so sure of her decision, Davis kept quiet and cast his look at the old man who finally neared him.
"Esteemed Cultivator, I apologize for the misunderstanding we have caused. Please...."
"Didn't I tell you, people, to leave?" Davis coldly interrupted as he enunciated his words.
Yuan Kong's back was filled with cold sweat. When he tried to speak again, not minding about the arrogance of the other party, he was promptly cut short.
"General Yuan Kong, you are not in command and not allowed to engage in communication with the other party without my permission. Doing so will result in execution on the grounds of disrupting the command chain, which is a serious crime under the special military laws."
Yuan Kong's face became exceptionally frosty as he turned to gaze back at General Wang Ke.
General Wang Ke had caught up to him sooner than he thought but he knew why, because General Wang Ke was a Mid-Level Meridian Refinement Stage Cultivator.
The benefits they had received from the generous Viktor not only had gone to the worthy but also to those who had connections, which irked him to an endless degree.
Wang Ke sneered and turned to look at Davis, "Esteemed Cultivator, this holy land is ours and we request that you politely hand it over to us while treating us in an equal and humane manner."
Davis blinked as his pupils froze.
Did this man who seemed to precede General Yuan Kong's authority just demand equality from an unknown existence who could potentially destroy the whole earth of humanity?
Did humans in this world degrade to such a level where they couldn't even understand the consequences of their own actions, even measuring from the perspective of the entirety of their world?
His expression turned amused as he heard the man's polite request. It did sound polite but the tone of it was undoubtedly unyielding, maybe even arrogant.
Who was this miscreant who managed to get to the top level of this country? Corruption?
Was he perhaps merciful and magnanimous to an extent that passed the limit?
Davis imagined that if he was an evil existence by chance, then there undoubtedly be a bloodbath in the area.
"Are the mortals in this world mostly retarded?"
Davis was startled as he heard Clara speak. He let out a chuckle, "Seems like it..."
Clara was genuinely upset since the mortals in this world seemed to follow them in the skies for a reason that she couldn't understand.
She and her elder brother did nothing other than taking this place, yet they were followed by many annoying flies...
General Wang Ke's face turned ugly but the expressions of everyone in this field, varied.
Some were actually entranced by her voice!
Even Yuan Kong was stunned into silence.
Years of elite troops training had gone to waste. It was like they never heard such a broken yet beautiful Chinese in their entire lives.
Yes, Clara spoke in Chinese to mock them on purpose. She had enough of these flies who flew around them in an annoying manner.
If it were the Grand Sea Continent, one word from her would suffice to make them bow down to her in reverence for she was none other than a princess of the Loret Empire.
Davis noticed the reactions of the soldiers and slightly spoke to Mo Mingzhi as if he were solemn, "It's better if you call the FBI here..."
Mo Mingzhi was confused before she was stunned. She turned to look at Clara and blinked.
Davis nodded with a smile while suppressing his laughter, "She's just 16..."
Mo Mingzhi closed her mouth were her palm, her expression saying that she couldn't believe in his words one bit.
According to her knowledge, Davis should be more than 50 years old, however, his little sister was 16 years old? What? The cultivators there live for so long that they'll give birth to a baby with a hundred years of difference between siblings?
On second thought, she mused that it was only normal as there even cases like these on Earth.
Taking a step back, she mused that the siblings could also be born with a 1,000-year difference, that is if they could live that long.
Davis furrowed his brows as he looked at her not laugh at his reference but instead ponder with a curious expression on her face.
'Hmm... Maybe, the meme isn't relevant anymore or is the shock factor too high...' He mused and shook his head, missing Drake's presence, however, he wasn't disappointed. He was in an exceptionally good mood since he realized that he was both Davis and Tian Long in a true sense.
Meanwhile, General Wang Ke was utterly angered as he looked at them conversing with each other as if his presence didn't matter.
Years of living with privilege didn't allow anyone in his pride to ignore him!
So what if they're cultivators!? Aren't they also humans? I'll eventually become one and have them under my feet when I get to the other side!
Wang Ke's arrogance seeped in his blood as it went to his head. He clenched his fists but suddenly realized that a woman who looked like one of their people was floating in the air with them.
'Didn't they intelligence records state that only two cultivators from the holy land came?' He thought and whispered into the earpiece, "Zoom in on that woman who is wearing normal clothes and find out about her identity..."
His expression turned normal as he inwardly sneered, 'Ignore... Ignore all you want, hehe. In the end, the young cultivator couldn't help but fall in love with a citizen of my proud country...'
'I could use this...'
