Chapter 162 - Danny
Due to Leyla explaining it, Liliana didn't doubt what had happened. This was also the reason why Davion didn't hide this matter from Leyla.
"That monster has become much more terrifying. He even sent a devil king here without us noticing." Liliana had a solemn look on her face.
Previously, Conard would use his strength to solve everything. But now he had become sneaky enough to send someone to infiltrate the sect. This made him even more dangerous and who knew what he was planning.
"Leyla, you leave. I need to have some talks with him," She ordered.
"Yes, mom." She lowered her head and slowly strolled away as she hoped to hear what they were talking about. Nonetheless, Liliana was aware of it and simply waved her hand.
"Ahh-"
Leyla cried out and she found himself in her room in the blink of an eye.
"So annoying." She really wanted to know what had happened after she had passed out. Especially after seeing the huge branch of that tree.
She walked towards the window and looked outside while thinking, "What are they hiding?"
Meanwhile, Liliana patted Davion's shoulder and said, "You did very well. I was a bit worried about my daughter. But you managed to bring her safely."
"It's my job after all," Davion bowed. Currently, he could see the mother's side of her instead of the elder.
She nodded and took out a strange white-colored mask carved with intricate patterns from her spirit ring and passed it to him.
"I had promised to let you become a core disciple after this task. So, you can join in from tomorrow with the identity of the masked man," She smiled.
"This.." he felt a cold sensation on his skin when he touched it.
"This is a middle-grade spiritual artifact that can disguise your aura into something different. So, nobody will be able to find out your true identity. If you wear those normal masks then you will surely get caught in the future," She explained.
"Thank you, elder." He had forgotten that the elders could easily see past his mask and see his face with their Divine Sense.
"However, you have still messed up with that child. All the elders have already seen you with him." She said while looking in a certain direction.
There Ryland was flying a few feet high from the ground and the child was jumping and trying to catch him.
"So, what should I do?" Davion asked.
"I don't know why you want to hide your identity in the first place. Anyways, I will support you with it." She took out a clean sheet of paper and a feather from her spirit ring. Davion could see a black-colored ink dripping down from the feather.
Next, she channeled her Qi into the feather and began drawing some characters on the paper.
"Chirr…chirr"
Some noises were produced, and the aura of heavens and earth gathered around her. This aura was then steadily being poured into the paper causing the paper to shine and fly into the sky.
A few minutes later, it dropped and reached Davion's hand.
"With this talisman, you can teleport to your new courtyard instantly. Just bring your dragon and the child along with you. This might solve the problems temporarily," She suggested.
"Elder, I am grateful to you. But do you think that the other elders will trouble me due to the child? After all, I brought him from the Secret Realm." He had a worried look on his face.
"You don't need to think too much about it. Since I have brought you all with me here, they won't have this thought. They didn't even try to stop me on the way." She was confident about it.
"I understand," Davion nodded.
"However, don't bring him out. I can feel a strange Qi inside of him which is very different from us. Who knows someone might have evil thoughts?" She reminded him.
Davion's expression changed when he heard it. He knew that there was something special about him when he managed to help him from the bald man. This was also another reason why he brought the child out from the Secret Realm.
"I will," Davion replied.
"Talking about the Secret Realm, were you the one who killed that devil king?" She suddenly asked.
"Yes." He knew that there was no point in hiding it.
"As I thought." She muttered and thought about something.
"Elder," Davion called out as he saw her idling.
"Oh!" She came back to her senses and said, "You can leave too."
Davion was about to leave when abruptly he remembered something, "Is my dragon cured already?"
"Yes, you can take him back," She responded.
Davion bowed once again in gratitude. Then he yelled, "Ryland, let's go."
Ryland heard it and flew towards Davion while the child chased after him.

"Father, is this our home?" The child was curious when he saw a courtyard surrounded by a formation ahead of him.
"Yes, but only for today. We will be living in a bigger one tomorrow." He answered.
"Wow!" he became happy and rushed inside. The formation automatically opened allowing them to enter.
After entering, Davion finally asked the question he had been holding for a long time.
"Son, do you remember your name?"
"You've never named me," the child shook his head.
"Is that so?" Davion murmured. Then he racked his brain while thinking of a suitable name.
"How about Danny? It sounds good," He smiled.
"Whatever you say," the child agreed without any hesitation.
"Haha," he laughed and pinched his cheeks.
"No.." the child broke free from him and ran towards the other rooms.
Seeing this, he wanted to follow him when all of sudden, he felt some pain in his right arm.
"Ouch.."
He glanced and saw the Red-Head of Ryland biting it. The Blue-Head was also gazing at him angrily.
"Haiz, did he get jealous?" Davion sighed as he took out some middle-grade spirit stones from his spirit ring.
Ryland immediately became happy and started swallowing them one by one.
"He still acts this way even after reaching the late stage of the Qi refining stage." He thought. Since the moment he saw his huge body clashing with Leyla earlier, he knew that he had broken through. It seemed like Elder Liliana had fed him some treasures.
While he was thinking, he heard Danny's sweet voice in the air.
"Father, what is that?"
"This.." he pointed towards the spirit stone.
"Yes, I feel hungry after seeing it," Danny stroked his belly as he approached him.
"What? Are you sure?" Davion felt that he had heard wrong. How could a human eat it?
Danny didn't reply to him but rather tried to pull it out from his hand. Nonetheless, Davion didn't let it go. Who knew Danny would get injured like Ryland and had to be treated?
"I'm not lying." Danny stopped and looked at him with tearful eyes.
Seeing his eyes, Davion was sure that he would cry and throw a tantrum. So, he could only give up and hand it to him.
Danny smiled and put it in his mouth.
"Crack"
The spirit stone broke into pieces at once when he chewed it. Then he swallowed it easily like Ryland.
"My God!" Davion had his mouth wide open. He couldn't believe this child had such physical strength to break the spirit stone into dust with just his teeth.
He was sure that he couldn't do it even with his strong body. Maybe he could do it in his devil form, but who knows as he had never tried it.
Afterward, Danny put his hand on the spirit stones near Ryland and picked it up. But before he could eat it, Ryland snatched it with his claws and devoured it.
This made Danny so furious that he used both of his hands to grab another one. Ryland, like before, tried to snatch it but found himself unable to do so. This made him infuriated. How could he lose to a child?
So, he released his aura and tried to intimidate Danny. Despite it, Danny didn't feel uncomfortable and rather enjoyed the taste of the spirit stone.
Ryland felt humiliated seeing this. Thus, he slowly enlarged and wanted to overpower this kid.
"Stop!" Davion caught Ryland and dragged him away. Then he took out another heap of spirit stones from his spirit ring and put it infront of him. Only did he manage to cool down Ryland.
"Phew, my life has become difficult."
***
In the Wild Northern Forest,
A huge devil wearing armor was sitting on a throne made from bones. Infront of him, there were four people kneeling on the ground and looking at the devil with worship in their eyes.
"Do you all know that Julia had fallen too?" The devil spoke.
When they heard it, their body shook and lowered their heads in shame. They had never imagined that they could suffer such heavy losses in just a month.
