Davis calmed down completely from the sudden jerk and looked at the surrounding scenery disappearing before his eyes in a flash.
He looked at her, who was not at all dazed by the speed she was currently traveling in, ’She is at least traveling at 3 times the speed of sound... at least by scientific terms...’
Davis wasn’t sure if light was faster than sound or vice versa, but he was at least sure that the speed depended on the quality and the purity of the sound and light that was made in this world.
His surroundings zoomed past in an instant, and when he tried to release his Soul Sense, it successfully got out.
Since Isabella was together with him, he used this chance and extended his Soul Sense to the ten percent capacity without any fear of repercussions.
His Soul Sense extended and covered over a range of 700 kilometers around him, with him being at the center point.
All kinds of Magical Beasts, Herbs, Ingredients, Resources and even Humans, came into his view, yet none were able to notice his Soul Sense.
Even Isabella at such a close range failed to detect nothing as she kept on traveling.
But her physical senses were extremely taut and molded so she just slightly cast a glance at Davis and seeing that he didn’t do anything, she moved her gaze away.
Davis was amazed by her senses but immediately cried upon noticing that all those resources that he could take away with him were disappearing from his Soul Sense one by one.
"Princess Isabella! There are a lot of treasures down there! Let me take them!" He sent a Soul Transmission only to receive a reply that rendered him speechless.
"Make a round trip..."
He speechlessly shut his mouth and gently sighed as he took back his Soul Sense and gave up any forms of struggling.
Her reply made it painfully aware to him that she would not stop anytime sooner unless he turned hostile.
He suddenly thought of extending his Soul Sense completely to provoke all the Seventh Stage Magical Beasts on them but stopped.
Although it was quite humiliating to be dragged , if it could help him return sooner, he decided to grit his teeth and stay silent.
Only three days had passed, but he could tell that they were already at the border of Desolate Plains.
Such an incredible speed left him flabbergasted and tired at the same time.
During the first day, he tried to convince her to let him buy some supplies that he needed to bring home but she seemed intent on returning as soon as possible.
He could only shut his mouth and obediently be dragged since he didn’t want to offend her for this lame reason, nor did he want to disappoint that caring and upright old man, Emperor Mark Ruth.
After a few hours, Davis recognized the place he was in, and he finally said something after traveling for the last three days.
Isabella instantly complied and stopped flying. She gently released his back collar and asked, "What?"
"Can you like, wait here? I want to check on some things..."
"Here, in the middle of nowhere?"
Davis shook his head and pointed in a direction, "There’s the Headquarters of Cloud Spring Mercenaries..."
"Oh... Could Spring Mercenaries? I’ve heard of it before. That direction right? Let me accompany you, I also want to see what’s its kind there..."
Davis chuckled, "Nothing special..."
Saying so, he took off in a direction.
Isabella followed behind him and after five minutes, she could no longer take it.
She grabbed his collars again and sped up like a soaring dragon.
Davis let out a sigh and didn’t fight back but thought sinisterly, ’Being dragged ... One day, I would definitely have my revenge!’
In a few minutes, they arrived at the Cloud Spring Mercenaries but what Davis saw there left him feeling unrealistic.
The once concealed city was now in a state of ruins with no human silhouette visible on the land.
Davis suppressed his anger and mumbled in a low voice, "What happened here?"
His face darkened as he swept his Soul Sense surveying the city but he was then glad.
Because he found no bloodstains in the city, not even a hint of it.
"Ahh, I thought you were referring to their new hideout... But it seems like you showed me their destroyed one instead."
Davis turned back as he glanced at Isabella, "What do you mean?"
She shrugged, "Three years back, the Tripartite Alliance declared war against Cloud Spring Mercenaries... But rumors spread that they escaped, facing no casualties. I’m probably guessing that they are now bandits, forced to roam the Desolate Plains."
Davis nodded his head, "The Desolate Plains is over 1,000,000 kilometers long, and they could be hiding anywhere..."
But he was inwardly dumbfounded.
Three years before meant that it was the time when he was receiving the tutelage of Garvin Woller.
’Such a thing happened while I was imprisoned and I only learned it now?’ Davis felt like laughing at himself.
Maybe it was because a branch of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries didn’t exist in the Xuan Empire, he had no way of knowing that it faced extinction.
Faces familiar to him flashed past in his mind, especially Lucas, Lucia, and Su Hualing.
’Well, as long as they are safe...’ Davis consoled himself and turned to face at Isabella.
This time, she tactfully didn’t grab him by his collar but formed a slab of rock and urged him to sit on it.
Davis looked at her and thanked before proceeding to sit on it.
She then clenched her fists and controlled the slab of rock using earth laws as she left for their destination.
Although it was more work for her, and she felt like a servant, carrying her master, she realized that she should cut him some slack right now.
After all, she felt he was quite silent and didn’t complain even though he was being manhandled by her for three days straight.
She felt like he had at least earned this...
She thought about being in his position and got a chill encroaching upon her spine. She would have held a death grudge if she were to be manhandled ...
Once she thought of it , she didn’t mind carrying him anymore.
As for Davis, he had other methods to travel faster than her but didn’t want to since he would be basically revealing his cards out in the open.
But if he were to learn about her current thoughts right now, he would be embarrassed by himself for holding a grudge against her.
