Kristo hurriedly jumped in and blocked Shirley from going berserk, "Shirley! Stop this! The Emperors looked quite serious this time... If we fight among ourselves, we would be heavily punished without fail."

With her pristine sword unsheathed, Shirley's arm trembled from hate from just looking at that bastard's handsome face which turned ugly in her mind.

She slowly calmed herself down as she brought her scabbard out and sheathed her sword. She then placed it beside her waist and turned back, rushing ahead.

"Wait, I'll come with you, little sister!" Kristo shouted and hurriedly followed after her while giving a sidelong glance at Kennet, indirectly telling him to back off.

Kennet Claymore gritted his teeth in part shame and part anger. He looked around the crowd to see himself being observed by mocking gazes.

Coldly harrumphing, he left with a few members which he had previously formed outside.

The other youths also teamed up with others and followed after their trail.

...

Shirley ran ahead cautiously, albeit a little faster since she knew that Davis went ahead of her.

So far, from the previous openings of the secret entrance, they have been able to map out their half of the place quite well.

Due to the power difference between them, they had not been able to map out their latter half of the passageway, which is technically the enemy's territory.

Kristo glanced left and right to see narrow pathways, leading to some other places which connected the whole long straight path.

"Little Sister Shirley, why are you going so fast? Don't tell me you want to catch up with that cold-hearted kid?" Kristo frowned as he questioned.

He had been dissatisfied with Davis's indifference for quite a while and didn't like bothering with him in the first place.

"Yes, Elder Brother Kristo... You don't need to bother with me..." Shirley replied with an anxious expression on her face.

"Come on little sister... I'm your elder brother. Be proud of yourself, even though we boast the same strength, your age is way lower than mine. You don't need to follow him relentlessly... Even without him, you can live a happy life by being matched up with someone here..." Kristo shook his face wryly.

"Did father tell you to say that?" Shirley's voice turned cold.

Kristo blinked before laughing off in a gentle manner, "Haha, looks like I can't escape my sharp little sister..."

"Leave me alone..." Shirley sighed and increased her speed, quite anxious to see him.

"Stop!" A hand suddenly grasped her hand, causing her to look back with an irritated expression on her face.

"There's someone there..." Kristo whispered slowly pointing in a direction, causing her to turn stiff.

She was momentarily distracted by his comments that she missed an unknown figure, leaning on the side of the wall.

Her first thought was that it was Davis but looking at the figure which was bulkier and taller, she narrowed her eyes.

Turning incredibly cautious, she unsheathed her sword and shouted at that figure, "Stop playing dead!"

Even though the cave was dark, they could still see somewhat ahead with their vision. There were no visible injuries on that figure which would've made the figure die. Besides, their soul sense could penetrate no more than 50m in this space, and that figure was within that range....

A few seconds passed but they heard no reply.

They then looked at each other, and nodded their heads, cautiously heading to the figure beside the wall.

There was a man with a bulky build, his hands held an axe, which was slightly glowing in the dark light. His finger held a ring.

A ring which was coveted by the youths who entered this place.

"Spatial Ring..." Shirley and Kristo were quite shaken on seeing a valuable spatial ring being abandoned like that. Besides, now that they were close, they could basically confirm that this bulky figure had died just a while ago.

"Only Prince Davis could do this..." An involuntary sigh could be heard coming from Kristo, even though he didn't want to admit it.

"A soul attack..." Shirley mumbled as she tried to guess what kind of soul technique killed this bulky man.

"Hmm... If he left the spatial ring... Then it means that he doesn't need it... Damn! Why don't I have a master which might enable me to view these spatial rings with disdain!" Kristo said with jealousy as he viewed the space ring with greed.

He glanced at Shirley and decided to unceremoniously take the spatial ring for himself.

Shirley was glad at the fact that Davis was close. She didn't bother with him and instantly dashed in his direction again.

"Hey! Wait..." Kristo fumbled with the corpse's finger and finally took out the spatial ring. He then hurriedly followed behind her.

As they travelled in a straight direction, their bodies trembled, a feeling of being ants emerged within them in front of a certain existence.

The whole pathway was littered with corpses left and right, shocking them to the core.

What's more... All the corpses possessed spatial rings of their own.

"Is he a monster...?" Kristo shuddered as he stopped following her and stood beside the clean pile of fresh corpses.

Gulping heavily, he managed to calm down by taking some deep breaths only after quite a while.

Just when he thought of plundering the spatial rings, he heard footsteps from behind him causing his face to change.

Shirley went on ahead as she glanced at the corpses one by one. Whether male or female, they were all dead, their bodies looked as if they were just sleeping peacefully.

She couldn't believe what kind of heavenly technique that would have caused this massacre. To her senses, it certainly didn't feel like one, but it was as if they were all put to sleep by a miracle.

The shock she received was quite difficult to handle, her heart trembled under the weight of inferiority after seeing his achievements with her eyes.

She finally stopped in front of a corpse and looked at it blankly. She blinked slightly with her eyes which clearly said that it wasn't able to believe such a sight.

She dropped to the ground and looked ahead of the dark pathway, which suddenly seemed endless to her.

It was as if the pathway told her that no matter how she chased him, she wouldn't be able to be with him.

Footsteps along with joyous shouts echoed behind her, causing her to glance back.
