BXBX NOVEL Chapter 58: Sophie Died?
Ruby sat still under the heavy rain without moving, she looked especially charming with her soked vermillion hairs.
Small puddles filled with crimson blood lay scattered across the ground like rubies.
If it weren't for the pieces of mass lying on the ground, it definitely would have been a picturesque scene worth writing poetry about.
Exploded heads with half of their faces missing, eyeballs, and internal organs destroyed the peaceful atmosphere.
This was the scene that David witnessed after arriving here.
Even though he had seen a lot of bloodshed and killed a few cultivators, the scene was still too brutal for him.
David turned his head to look at his side.
Beside him, Sebastian's expression remained unchanged; the scene didn't bother him too much.
On the other hand, Mary's eyes were filled with horror. Yeah, this monstrosity was really good at pretending.
Bleh!
Allen Rushmore once again emptied his stomach, his face deathly pale.
He was puking as if someone had forcefully stuffed an eyeball in his mouth and forced him to swallow it.
Although the guy was tens of meters away from David, the smell still made David scrunch his nose.
"Sebastian, can you please do something about it?" David requested in a calm voice. He had seen how Sebastian expertly manipulated his surroundings.
Sebastian calmly nodded, and his hand flashed with black light. In the next moment, all the mass matter lying on the ground turned into flowing water and disappeared.
After one hour.
The rain had stopped pouring, and dark clouds had disappeared, exposing the blue sky in its full glory.
In this one hour, David understood what had happened here. While they were away, the guys resting on the west shore had tried to take advantage of Ruby and were brutally killed by her.
Anyways, other than that, he had also decided to spare Allen Rushmore for the time being.
From what Sebastian had told him, this guy could be milked further for resources.
Leaving the guy aside, he moved in the direction of Tiger Pass.
David had wasted a lot of time here; it was time to quickly move and reach the Rising Sun Empire.
But before that, he still had to farm some Foundation Building Realm cultivators first.
Although his headache had completely disappeared, it wouldn't hurt to have backup for the future, right?
Purple Thunder covered the entirety of David's body as he moved quickly through the forest.
While moving, he decided to check his status report to see what had changed.
He had just come out of a strange place, and given the strange feeling he had at the end, it became imperative for him to check his bodily condition. The status report was the best way to do it.
After paying the required amount, a window popped up in front of his eyes.

"Greater Law of Annihilation." David muttered in puzzlement. He had no idea what the Greater Law was, and Bryan's memories also weren't of much help.
After some time, he finally arrived in front of the Tiger Pass.
At this time, a shout filled with urgency resounded.
"Senior! You are finally here. I am afraid we can't stay here any longer."
Jason seemed to be waiting for his arrival. As soon as David arrived, he came rushing.
"Okay, calm down and explain why we should leave this place." David nonchalantly said while thinking of a reason on his own.
After hearing David's words, Jason took a deep breath and calmed down.
"The Emperor is moving with his imperial army, and my sources have said that they are going to be stationed at the Tiger Pass before moving further south toward Deadwood City."
David nodded at his words and fell silent. This was definitely a good reason to leave as soon as possible.
Moreover, David was puzzled by the Blackthorn Empire's reaction; they were sending the army after such a long period of time.
Now what could they even achieve? At this point, they could just forget about Deadwood City as if it never existed.
"Where do you plan to go now?" While thinking, David asked Jason curiously.
"Me? I heard from my friends that Ashwood City is a good place for business." Jason instantly replied without even thinking. It looked like he was already prepared, as expected of a master adapter.
David nodded and threw one more storage ring towards him. He decided to invest one hundred thousand again in Jason, taking his total investment to two hundred thousand.
Jason was surprised by David's actions, but he still caught the ring and silently pocketed it without asking any questions.
"You can contact me through this storage ring if you need my help in the future."
After saying these words, David left to regroup with his companions. It might be the last time he saw Jason.
"Guys, pack up. We are leaving." David announced in a loud voice, surprising the three of them.
Mary and the others were ready to leave after five minutes as they really didn't have anything to do.
However, just as David was about to leave, he received a notification that caused him to frown.
[Regretfully! You lost one of your clients today. However, the Bank of Eternal Origin can never suffer a loss. Even if she died, the client will have to pay back somehow; therefore, her soul was captured. You now have the following options, keep in mind that you can only choose one:
