The Story Never Ends -
Chapter 191 - Fairy Artifact
"My God! I knew that the Wolf Tribe and the Golden Lion Tribe would never let this matter rest. But isn't this too fast?" He was surprised. It still hasn't been a day since he had wiped out the quarry.
"The Golden Lion Tribe deserves its reputation. The rewards are also quite generous." If this masked man was killed, then three higher-grade spiritual weapons would be awarded.
However, if he was captured alive, then the person would be welcomed to the Golden Lion Tribe as a guest and would be awarded a fairy artifact.
"Fairy Artifact. These artifacts can only be wielded by experts above the Domain Realm. Is it even worth it for them to give away such a precious item for an insignificant being like me?" He found it fishy. After all, he was only a Domain Realm expert at best according to their calculation.
."Is there something more to it?" While having these thoughts, he slowly proceeded towards the city library. But he stopped on his way once again.
He noticed many snake guards slithering towards the exit of the city. Leading them were three women wearing revealing armors. The nearby people would immediately bow to them and leave a path for them in fear of angering them.
"Eh! Did something happen? These women have worried looks on their faces." He swept his Mind-Eye past them and knew who they were.
"They have the souls of a python. As I thought, they are the higher-ups of the Venomous Python Tribe. Furthermore, the woman in the middle seems to be the strongest among them. Is she the Tribe Leader?" He sensed her soul radiating the energy of an early-stage Domain Realm Expert.
"What forced her out? Is it due to the Pill Shop? It looks like I have to observe them more." Davion carefully hid in the distance and began monitoring everything. Currently, the range of his Mind-Eye has reached an astonishing level of 10 kilometers radius. So, he was safe and didn't have to worry about being caught.
On the way, he enjoyed himself by peering into the souls and demon cores of all the people around him.
"It's really amazing." He smiled in satisfaction. Nonetheless, he didn't know that what he was doing right now is considered a great taboo in the cultivation world.
Nobody used their Divine Sense to spy on others indiscriminately like him. Unlike his Mind-Eye, Divine Sense could be felt straightway once it goes past the skin even if the gap between two parties is significantly large.
It's like watching a naked body where no secrets could be hidden. Thus, one would definitely be offended if this happened. Even death feuds have happened in the past. This was especially so for women.
Therefore, to avoid trouble, every cultivator stopped prying others with their Divine Sense without permission a long time ago. This tradition still continues today and is taken as common knowledge for cultivators. However, for Davion who had just come to this world, he was clueless.
The snake guards arrived at the gate of the city and stood there patiently. It appeared like they were waiting for someone. Time passed by, and Davion became bored.
"It has already been half an hour. Whom are they waiting for?" While he was pondering, strong winds blew and he sensed a fast-moving body coming in this direction.
He glanced there and saw a big falcon about two hundred feet long soaring in the sky with four people on top of its back.
"This.." His expression became solemn when he perceived them.
"Andreas from the Wolf Tribe and other three people I don't recognize. But probing into them, made me sure that they are from the Golden Lion Tribe. Moreover, the middle-aged man is the most dangerous among them." He caught sight of his terrifying lion soul surrounded by golden flames.
"He is at the pinnacle of the Domain Realm." Indeed, the ones who came here were Hector and his followers.
"Carolina, how can our Pill Shop get robbed without anyone noticing?" Hector's thunderous voice was heard in the air. He was so furious that he didn't wait for the falcon to land. This was because he didn't get to rest a single day after his previous mission. Not only that, he was still annoyed from not being able to catch that culprit.
"Lord, we investigated it but we didn't replace any clue." The one Davion had guessed to be the Tribe Leader spoke. She bent on one knee, and the guards behind her did the same.
"Humph! I can never trust your weak tribes." He coldly stared at Andreas making him shiver while Carolina simply lowered her head in shame.
"Damn, how can I know him when he was hiding his face." Andreas cursed inside.
"Let's hope I can replace some clues here. After all, this city is the closest one to the quarry, and I'm the only one that can discern him." He thought.
The falcon descended, and they landed on the ground.
"Take me there," Hector didn't want to waste any time in this poor city.
"As you say." Carolina nodded.

Inside the pill shop,
Hector scanned everything with his Divine Sense and repeated the same process as he did in the quarry.
"Hehe, you dare to steal from us, the Golden Lion Tribe? Let me see who you are." He confidently threw the eyeball of the Four-Eyed Griffin into the black flame ahead of him. This time, the dark particles had emerged from the ground and were sucked into his Golden Flame.
Despite this, his efforts were futile as the same incident took place once again. The eyeball shook and instead of burning, it swiftly corroded into dust.
"This.."
The young boys became shocked while Andreas became speechless. As for Carolina, she didn't have any reaction. It was her first time seeing this.
"HAHA, I found you." Hector wildly laughed. Yesterday, he felt his heart pain when the eyeball got destroyed. But not now.
"Send a signal to the tribe and ask for reinforcements. The culprit is near." Hector ordered. Who could have thought that this small city could bring him surprises?
"Yes, Senior Hector." The boys answered.
"Carolina, I command you to deploy twice the number of guards in the city. Also, tighten the security in the gates and the watchtowers. Don't let anybody leave." Hector instructed.
Carolina made the arrangements at once without any hesitations. It was the perfect opportunity to earn the favor of the Golden Lion Tribe.
"Lord, are you sure it's the same person responsible for this?" Andreas questioned.
"Yes, this is not a coincidence. Although the energy this time is different, the eyeball showed a similar reaction. The elders in the tribe told me that there must be two reasons behind it." Hector pointed his two fingers and continued.
"Either he is an expert above the Domain Realm, or he possesses a Fairy Artifact that can evade the powers of the eyeball. Since you battled with him with your projection, it means that the latter is true."
"Oh! Is this why the rewards were so generous?" Andreas' eyes lit up.
"Hehe, indeed. For the fairy artifact, the elders decided to hunt him down at all costs. This is why we took the hassle of posting his Wanted Posters all over the nearby cities in a single night." Hector chuckled.

"Fuck, I underestimated the Golden Lion Tribe. They have lots of tricks." Davion was impressed. Although he was not able to hear what took place inside, he clearly managed to see what occurred.
Looking at the unusual moves made by the snake guards, he was sure they got some clues. Now it is only a matter of time before they replace him.
"Interesting." He was eager to see how they would catch him.
Next, he walked for a couple of minutes and appeared infront of the city library. It was a small rundown building that seemed to fall apart any minute.
"Phew" Davion shook his head in disappointment and entered inside. But the moment he stepped in; something abnormal happened.
His blood boiled and flowed unstably, causing him to clutch his chest.
"Heavenly Body"
He emitted a tiny portion of his majestic aura and was finally able to control himself.
"My blood reacts like this only when someone with a superior bloodline is nearby. Who is it?" It was not his first time experiencing this state as Ryland's roar was still fresh in his memory.
He spread his Mind-Eye in the blink of an eye and focused on everything inside. The library was only a name as it just had one room with no more than 100 books in total.
The person in charge seemed to be an old frog with a large beard sitting on the front desk while sleeping soundly. There were few desks and chairs kept in an unarranged manner where three people were studying.
Two were males staying close to each other possessing the soul of a Baboon at the Nascent Soul Stage. As for the other, who was sitting alone in the corner, his Mind-Eye became useless.
