The matter that made Davis unamused wasn't the obscure energy of the moonlight mountain, but it related to the events after Nadia became a King-Tier Magical Beast.
Davis's soul body successfully collected the deep blue yin attributed lake and returned to him, but there was only around sixty percent of the lake left, meaning, in that short time, the plant lifeform absorbed over forty percent of the yin attributed lake.
This caused him both to heave a sigh of relief and lament that if he had just been quicker, Natalya could've enjoyed more benefits in the future.
Shaking his head ruefully, he and Nadia left the hidden cavern and then flew straight towards the Moonlight Mountain, but they were suddenly ambushed by a few daring Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts.
Davis didn't want to waste time in this place as that might inadvertently have consequences such as those hidden Eighth Stage Magical Beasts targeting him or the happening of other unforeseen events, so he directly killed the Lord Beast Stage Magical Beasts using Fallen Heaven and took their soul essences without batting an eyelid.
It was they who provoked him, so he instantly killed them with Fallen Heaven's mysterious means to warn others, and from this, he gained two Low-Level Seventh Stage Soul Essences, three Mid-Level Seventh Stage Soul Essences, and a single High-Level Seventh Stage Soul Essence.
But even then, the Eighth Stage Magical Beast was still agitated, looking like they were capable of ignoring the consequences that they had just seen.
To avoid further trouble during the journey, Davis was about to conceal in Dark Concealing Shroud Art, but Nadia used her concealing techniques to arrive here without encountering a single problem.
Even the Eight Stage Magical Beasts who were near Nadia became unable to find her. They were all frantic and even desperate, trying to find her by using all methods, but they no matter how they searched, it all ended up useless.
However, what he was mad about wasn't their actions but the millions of soul essences that he had collected in his soul sea.
During the flight, except the Seventh Stage Soul Essences that he had just collected, he had refined them all!
Those millions of soul essences that ranged from the Second Stage to the Sixth Stage did not even make him reach the peak of the Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage, leading to his disappointment. However, that wasn't what disappointed him greatly.
It was the plant lifeform's soul essence, which disappointed him significantly! He had collected it without fail, but it seems that the death-like energy deeply corroded its soul essence. He remembered it was when he aggressively and ruthlessly used the death-like energy to target its soul and attacked, finally killing it.
At that time, he didn't think about the consequences as he only wanted to kill it in one shot, but now, it looks like it backfired on him...
A Mid-Level Eighth Stage Soul Essence! Such a soul essence could've brought him at least up to the Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage even if he considerably lowered his expectations, but since his death-like energy badly damaged it, it did not provide him with much help.
It only increased his Soul Forging Cultivation to the peak of the Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage, making him stabilize with an average foundation.
The depletion of the yin attributed lake, the ambush of the magical beasts, and the efficacy-less soul essences. These three matters made his mood sullen.
"Master, we have arrived..." A majestic and cool female voice echoed.
Nadia couldn't help but remind Davis that they have arrived since they were idly floating in the skies for more than two minutes. Despite being a Queen, she felt the need to ask her master for permission to enter the Moonlight Mountain.
Even though she looked aloof, she indeed possessed the self-awareness and recognition that she is a Magical Beast Mount, even after becoming a Queen. Her aloofness was something innate to her as if her bones seeped with her improved bloodline were constantly urging her to maintain her majestic vibes towards the masses.
Davis came out of his reverie and adjusted his sullen mood before nodding his head, "Alright, let's go..."
Nadia disappeared once again, but she did not use her concealing techniques. Instead, she sped past the mountain with her incredible flying speed, and her silhouette became harder difficult to catch by the average eyesight.
Her fur and twin-tails gracefully danced and fluttered in the air while she skillfully maneuvered into the mountains, and it was not long before they encountered the border chief who had been replaced because she had defeated the one before.
"Halt!"
The Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf echoed while seeing that a human dared to ride one of them, but his gaze abruptly froze as his blood overwhelming boiled as if being given a sudden shock.
Despite the human figure he saw on the back of a fellow Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf, he couldn't help but forcefully bow his head in reverence as his instincts screamed at him to give respect!
Nadia blinked past the grassy mountains with every step and slowed down before she walked past the border chief without even paying attention. A Mid-Level Lord Beast Stage Magical Beast didn't even register in her eyes as she maintained her gaze to the front.
The border chief who witnessed this scene started from the corner of his eyes started to tremble from head to toe! He couldn't believe his eyes but the gold-black horn, the same fur coloring and pattern as the king, the alpha of their clan, he couldn't help but come to an unbelievable conclusion!
"A Queen!???" A low voice erupted from and him the moment he turned to look back, the King-Tier Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf with a human riding on her back was no longer there.
He didn't know what to do anymore as he stood on the ground, frozen stiff like a statue.
Even though it was clear that this particular King-Tier Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolf should belong to the human, he didn't dare to arrive at that conclusion.
How can a Queen of their species lower her head to a human?
He felt that it was inconceivable, but the sight he saw said otherwise. Hence, his big yet inept brain shut down.
Nadia didn't care for a border chief nor the hundreds of Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves she came across as they all stared at her in awe and reverence while she slowly yet pompously walked. They didn't dare to connect her gaze with her as they all dropped their heads while looking at her through the upper corner of their eyes.
She only had one opponent in this place, and that was the alpha who arbitrarily and forcefully claimed her as his own!
In the distance, numerous wolves seemed to notice the commotion as they approached in her direction. Nadia too sensed it, but she paid them no heed except for two undulations that she recognized as Peak-Level Lord Beast Stage Twin-Tailed Dusk Wolves.
"Seems like news of your presence have been relayed to the clan chiefs?"
Hearing Davis's voice, Nadia nodded her head, "Those earlier howls from those behind us has already relayed the news that the intruder is a female King-Tier Twin Tailed Dusk Wolf, a Queen but has a human mounted on her back."
