"It's none of your business!" Lena shouted angrily. The only thought that ran in her mind was avenging Basil.
"Hold on, Lena!" Marcia stepped in the way of Lena and prevented her from dashing out.
"Get out of my way, Marcia! She's the one who killed Basil. I'm going to end her! Even if it won't bring Basil back!" Lena didn't understand why Marcia stopped her, when Marcia should instead kill that woman with her.
"Lena, please stop for a moment and think about what you're going to do. If what she said was true, then we need to look into it first before acting hastily. It will also be disrespectful to Basil if you attack her in his mourning hall." Marcia analyzed the situation calmly.
As Marcia said this, Lena stopped struggling. She sneered, as she kept her eyes on Alyssa, still casting her a murderous look.
Alyssa also withdrew her spiritual power when she saw Lena withdrew hers. She only wanted to pay respects to Basil. Alyssa looked at Marcia as a sign of thanks as she walked inside the mourning hall. She then burned an incense to worship.
"Why did you die? Every time I tried to kill you, you managed to get away. It's like you have nine lives or something," Alyssa said teasingly. "But why can't you stay alive this time? My only hope died with you. It's not fair. I hate you!" She gritted her teeth while staring at Basil's coffin, her eyes filled with resentment and her body shaking lightly.
Marcia and Lena, who were watching from the mourning hall entrance, were very surprised to see Alyssa's expression because as far as they know, Alyssa and Rocky were enemies.
Out of nowhere, a group of dragons flew over, blocking out the sun and covering the sky. They were fast approaching the Holy Dragon Imperial Tomb.
News of Alyssa entering the imperial tomb had already reached the emperor. He was shocked to hear this since Alyssa's country was at war with them. The emperor burst into a fit after realizing that an enemy easily got through their defenses. He immediately called for a royal member of the Divine Stage to catch her with the help of several master-hands of the Supernal Stage. Meanwhile, dozens of spirit-manipulators of the Heavenly Stage from the royal family were already on their way to the Holy Dragon Imperial Tomb.
After putting down the incense, Alyssa turned to Marcia and said, "I believe his death is suspicious. I'll look further into it to find out the real reason. If I'm lucky enough to find the man who did this, I'll kill him myself. If you have any information that might help with my search, please give it to me as soon as possible. In exchange, I will call for a temporary cease fire between the Timber Deity Empire and the Holy Dragon Empire." Alyssa then jumped into the air and flew away.
"Wait, don't go!" Lena shouted. She wouldn't let her go so easily. If she let Alyssa leave, who knew how long it would take for them to meet again. But before she could chase after her, Marcia stopped her.
"Let her go. I trust that what she said was true." Marcia could tell this from the way Alyssa behaved in the mourning hall. And she was going to prove it as soon as she could.
"Even so, we can't just let her come and go as she pleases!" Lena replied with a frown.
"We're the same, and she's not an ordinary human," Marcia hinted under her breath.
"She's the same as you? Are you sure?" Lena asked in surprise.
Marcia nodded without saying anything more. She had heard lots of things about Alyssa before, but from what Alyssa told Lena a moment ago, she was certain that she and Alyssa were the same, a special being, neither human nor spiritual creature.
Meanwhile, a giant beast floating in the sky swooped down to catch Alyssa and they made way towards their country. The master-hands who were tasked by the emperor to catch her wasted no time and chased after her. But they were a step too slow and she easily got away unscathed.
