Davis and the others headed outside the ind as it slightly opened a way outside, with him controlling the formation.


    Instantly, a sting blizzard entered, bringing an intense chill that tried to freeze them to death. Even Mingzhi and the others who were near the exit to send them off grabbed their arms and shivered as they tried to encase themselves with their energy in order to protect themselves.


    Natalya and Tanya, who were Davis, also shivered. It was like they came to experience what chillness is for the first time in their lives, unable to believe that they could experience such freezing cold without even being near the source.


    But at this moment, Davis''s soul force sprung into action, causing them to feel some warmth surrounding them. He used light energy to envelop them, and it was like receiving coal as a gift in winter, causing them to smile as they knew that they could rely on him.


    They looked at his back with admiration as they sensed his prowess at this moment. It was vague due to the extremity of the gap and how minuscule his energy signature was when he used it, but they could generalize that his prowess reached the Immortal King Stage and perhaps even surpassed it.


    Quickly, they were pulled along with him inside the light energy barrier he created, which led them outside the ind.


    At the same time Davis and his group left, Yotan used the auxiliary formation core in her hands and closed the way outside.


    Suddenly, Yotan couldn''t help but feel someone elbowing her waist. She quickly turned to look around, smiling.


    "What is it, Mistress Bi?"


    Bi raised her hand above her ear as she brushed her golden hair, her side face looking beautifully artistic as though sculpted by a master sculptor.


    "Say... how long are you going to keep this up?"


    "What do you mean?" Yotan blinked, causing Bi to put her hand down and sigh lightly.


    "Don''t act dumb. I was ignoring you since I thought you could do it by yourself, but you never even tried to make a move or even give a few hints. Have you really given up?"


    Once Bi mentioned it quite openly, Yotan nced around slightly, ensuring that everyone else left before she opened her mouth.


    "I-It''splicated..."


    "How so?"


    Bi raised her brows in doubt. However, Yotan raised her hand and looked at the formation core she held in her hands with aplex gaze.


    "Legion Master doesn''t look at me in the same way he looks at you all, and I have many duties to fulfill. He trusts me as the Legion Commander. Otherwise, I wouldn''t be given this auxiliary formation core. How can I betray his excellency''s expectations?"


    "Don''t be stupid. Do you think Davis gave you this just because you''re his Legion Commander? Other than Evelynn, Isabe, and Shirley, the only one who has this key is you. Of course, it has to do with the fact that you''re the Legion Commander, but it is also because he knows that you love him and are devoted to him that he is convinced that you most likely wouldn''t betray him."


    "Otherwise, a cautious person like him would never give the residence key to someone who just has the position called Legion Commander. After all, if such a person betrayed us and let in the dangerous assassins, we''re all dead."


    "...!"


    Yotan felt like a lightning bolt had fallen on her as she shuddered. Seeing this reaction, Bi couldn''t help but smirk lightly.


    "But... but I''m in a position to die protecting you all..."


    Bi shook her head, thinking about when exactly it was that Davis put Yotan in a dangerous situation.


    "I said what I wanted to say. The way I see it, you''re suffering silently, aching for his praise day and night. Only, the way you''re going about wanting it is wrong, in my honest opinion. Well then, I''ll see youter."


    She waved her hand and left, leaving a confused and mellow Yotan who had her conviction slightly crushed for the first time ever since she became a Legion Commander. She gazed at Bi''s back, feeling lost but some timeter, she eventually came out of her reverie and shook her head.


    ========


    Freezing cold des asionally flew past mountains and split them in two after grinding at them for many hours. There were countless scars on thend and the skies, adorned with ciers forming below and icicles forming from above. Even the floating inds didn''t seem necessarily safe as some of them were encased inplete ice other than the mansions themselves.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    Davis and the others made their way past the horrible and hazardous blizzard. The ice storm practically made the visibility extremely less that Natalya and Tanya could only see a hundred meters within their range. They knew even their energies couldn''t go past a few meters under this extreme ice storm.


    As for Davis, he could see and sense far more, but even he had trouble navigating the skies as he had to rely purely on his memory of nearby floating inds to make his way to the destination. He wondered if there would be an assassination attempt as it was the right window of opportunity for anyone who wanted to kill him, but with Nadia together with him, he wasn''t worried.


    Ellia and the others followed him without concern, fully trusting him.


    Nheless, he knew he was on the correct path to his destination.


    However, he wasn''t going to Mercurial Blitz Ice Valley. He didn''t know where it even was and would have to find it from someone or something else.


    Still, before heading to the Mercurial Blitz Ice Valley, Davis headed to another ind within the Aurora Cloud Gate first. It wasn''t the mission distribution ind, either. It was forter. Right now, he was heading to the Alliance Ind, where a disciple can register or join an alliance.


    Naturally, he was going to create an alliance for himself, not because he fancied being in a group but because he wanted his people to be able to pool contribution points without much loss. This way, they could all benefit sooner orter.


    Soon, they arrived at the Alliance Ind, where Davis had his eyes on for a long time.


    As soon as they stepped on the ind, they were weed by a warm atmosphere, one that even soothed their hearts and even their souls. Instantly, that ustrophobic feeling left their minds, leaving them feeling good as they looked at the vast simted skies.


    "You undisciplined disciples. Didn''t the sect announce for you all to seclu-"


    Halfway through some chiding, a middle-aged man blinked and finally recognized that purple-robed, blonde-haired, and sapphire-eyed man that everyone was talking about. He had thought that they would be all injured but looking at them be safe without a single sign of unhealthiness, he couldn''t help but believe what he saw.


    "I want to register an alliance."


    Davis uttered as he stared back at the middle-aged man, causing thetter to nod his head and silently bring the infamous Divergent to the Registration Hall.


    "It''s pretty empty, huh..."


    Ellia off-handedlymented as she looked around.


    "Due to the blizzard, most immortals stayed inside their rooms or didn''t return to the Aurora Cloud Gate''s headquarters. Instead, we''re even receivingints that they''re acting like the overlords in various branches."


    "Hehe~ Were they disciplined ordingly?"


    "..."


    The middle-aged man didn''t expect Ellia tough at his joke. He slightly glimpsed at Davis''s reaction, and seeing that he wasn''t offended as he maintained a calm expression, he continued.


    "Not really. This is a disastrous situation, so the other branches have been told to be amodating, but most wrongdoers have been dealt with. Even the ones in status aren''t forgiven easily. For example, the true disciple ranked hundred and thirteenth, named Kal Yale, has been arrested for trying to spike a female outer disciple in the northern branch. He''s facing the death penalty in a month''s time unless that mere outer disciplees forward to forgive him."


    "I see."


    Ellia kept nodding her head as she was astonished as it was different from what she thought, while Davis also felt that the sect was not bad. Theirw enforcement was truly righteous and upstanding, almost devoid of any corruption he could see or manage to point out.


    Soon, they arrived in front of the registration hall that was nine stories high.


    They registered themselves on the first floor after deciding on a name that Davis liked before they added all their names to it.


    Soon enough, they left the ind under that middle-aged man''s gaze that shook because he saw Davis''s light energy envelop them before they disappeared in the blizzard.


    "To traverse in this blizzard... you need to be an Immortal King... right?"


    He felt strange, thinking of some conspiracy theories as he held his head. After all, a disciple who just ascended couldn''t possibly reach the Immortal King Stage in a few months! Even a fabled reincarnator was incapable of that!
