Volume 5, Chapter 91 – Suddenly Emerging Eerie Voice

“Don’t you like your original identity and name? Discarded princess. Why don’t you follow me? I need you.”

“You are… what kind of person?”

“My name is Astral, one of the Lord’s apostles.”

“The Lord? That’s just a mythological figure… do you have something wrong with your brain?”

“So what if there is? Do you have any choice right now? Having lost your inheritance rights, your brothers and sisters won’t let you off easily.”

“That’s true… but you said… you need me?”

“Yes.”

“Is that so… someone as capable as you actively came to find me. Does that mean I’m very important to you?”

“Yes.”

“I see… then fine, I’ll help you. Give me a new name then.”

“Oh? In such a hurry?”

“Hehe, I want to make a clean break with the past as soon as possible. Is that not allowed?”

“Of course. In that case… let me think… how about Isabelle?”

“Isabelle? The ancient word for precious things? It feels rather ordinary, but I suppose it’ll do…”

Hm?

Suddenly snapping back to awareness, Isabelle’s eyes contracted slightly.

She was actually recalling events from that time?

Hehe,

it’s been over a thousand years without realizing it…

Time really flies.

While sighing inwardly, Isabelle refocused her attention on the official documents displayed on the screen.

Looking at batch after batch of spiritual power intensity detection reports from within the canyon, Isabelle’s perpetually weary eyes gradually showed a trace of joy.

Soon,

soon…

Lord Astral would complete his breakthrough, and then… everything would settle down.

I can finally be with Lord Astral…

“Hm?”

However, just as Isabelle was lost in fantasy, some unpleasant chatter quietly reached her ears, causing this Second Ancestor of House Solrog to furrow her brow.

Slowly rising, Isabelle lifted the gauze curtain and looked through the window toward several gardeners in the nearby courtyard.

“Those two evil gods came to this world to pursue the True Ancestor, right? If the True Ancestor breaks through, will he be able to deal with those two evil gods?”

“I don’t know. Those are evil gods… monsters that have ravaged Yao Xing for a thousand years. Even if Lord Astral can really handle those two, once they start fighting here, won’t small fry like us be doomed?”

“Right, why don’t we find a chance to escape quickly… otherwise we might not get another opportunity later.”

“The True Ancestor really is something… how could he let those two evil gods come to Earth? Isn’t this killing us all…”

As a Peak Divine Departure Realm expert with her perception domain constantly active for guarding the secret realm, Isabelle could naturally hear these servants’ words.

“Idiots who only know how to gossip…”

Chilling coldness quietly echoed in her eyes.

The next instant,

surrounded by pale spiritual power, Isabelle’s figure directly disappeared from her original position.

When she appeared again, Isabelle was already beside the several gardeners.

“So as I was saying, the True Ancestor’s decision this time is definitely problematic…”

However, the several gardeners seemed not to have noticed Isabelle’s arrival and were still whispering among themselves.

——”Spouting nonsense and disturbing people’s hearts. Do you think I’ve given you too long a lifespan?”——

Only when Isabelle quietly spoke did the several people instantly react.

Looking at the beautiful woman beside them with a smile on her face, the several gardeners’ expressions immediately changed drastically!

“Lady Isabelle!! Why are you here… no no no! Just now we were…”

The several people tried to explain.

However, before they could say much more, Isabelle suddenly raised her hand, her fingertip transforming into a blade that directly sliced across one gardener’s neck.

The next instant,

before this gardener could say anything more, his head swayed for a moment then directly fell to the ground.

“Ahhhh?!!! Lady Isabelle!! Please, please, please spare us!!”

Seeing this scene, the other two gardeners were directly scared into kneeling on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to Isabelle.

Regarding this, Isabelle had no intention of showing mercy whatsoever.

In her eyes,

Astral was the absolute authority within House Solrog.

Not to be challenged, not to be questioned.

Servants who dared privately discuss their master had no need to be kept alive.

Ignoring the gardeners’ pleas for mercy, Isabelle coldly snapped her fingers.

“Snap~”

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the gardeners’ pleas abruptly stopped.

The two gardeners’ bodies rapidly withered at a visible rate, ultimately becoming two nauseating dried corpses.

After casually disposing of the two, Isabelle calmly looked toward the garden nearby.

The next moment,

two red-robed figures surrounded by blue spiritual power suddenly appeared in the white-haired woman’s field of vision—they were Isabelle’s loyal Executioners.

“Clean up these corpses.”

“Yes, Lady Isabelle.”

The two respectfully lowered their heads, then bent down to prepare to carry the two gardeners’ withered bodies.

“Oh, right.”

As if remembering something, Isabelle frowned.

“Which guy’s subordinates were these two idiots who dared discuss Lord Astral?”

“These two should belong to Lord Hume…”

“Hume? That guy is really too casual, keeping such people around. It’s precisely because he was so careless that he died so miserably in the end… hehe.”

At the moment she mentioned her old companion, Isabelle’s expression couldn’t help but show a trace of sadness.

Of course,

this emotion was quickly hidden by Isabelle.

After all, this House Solrog Ancestor currently had no time to mourn for her companion’s passing—she had more important matters to handle.

“Oh, and how is the situation around the barrier? Any anomalies?”

“Reporting to Lady Isabelle, everything has been normal so far.”

“Mm, that’s good. Continue monitoring. Continue maintaining the lockdown state, don’t allow anyone to enter. Even those officials escorting elves must undergo the strictest examination and inspection.”

Isabelle said quite seriously.

“Lady Isabelle, how should we handle Lord Luolin? Should we go provide support?”

One of the Executioners expressed his concern.

“Lord Luolin…

I had hoped she would stay within the barrier to protect Lord Astral’s breakthrough, but unexpectedly she charged right out.

But that’s fine too.

Reаⅾ оn КatRеаⅾiոgСаfe

Keeping the Abyssal Lord occupied in North America is good.

“Don’t worry about her for now.”

“But…”

“We don’t have the ability to help her. If even she at the Divine Graced Realm cannot defeat Polarvitan, it would be useless even if we went. Ensuring the True Ancestor successfully completes his breakthrough is our most important current task. Also, has Gaia Lobir’s location been confirmed?”

“Not yet.”

Another Executioner shamefully lowered his head.

“Forget it, the Terran Malevolence isn’t so easy to find. Just confirm the situation around the barrier.”

As she spoke, Isabelle looked sideways toward the endless desert in the distance.

You must know,

this place, like the Divine Kingdom of Yao Xing, was shrouded in the radiance of the Heart of the World.

Extremely evil existences like evil gods would most likely be unable to actively enter within.

Therefore,

even without Luolin’s protection, as long as they ensured not to actively bring strange individuals into the barrier, it would be fine.

“Let me emphasize once more, don’t let any suspicious individuals enter the barrier… hm?”

As she spoke, Isabelle frowned.

Because she discovered that her two subordinate Executioners had stopped moving the corpses and were looking at her back with rather strange expressions.

“You… what kind of look is that?”

However,

before the two Executioners could respond, a pleasant but eerily haunting female voice quietly came from behind Isabelle.

——”Suspicious individuals? Hehe~, are you talking about my Big Sister? Or~… are you talking about me~”——
