The trio of Draculines kept flying towards the Tiger Region even as they attacked the five cultivators pursuing behind them.
Lingqi fired her purple lightning crystals and Catherine threw barrages of white cleansing flames.
Thankfully, Alcina's flight was way faster than theirs, otherwise, they'd be fucked.
The cultivators could only evade and keep tailing as apparently they didn't have long-range attacks.
*BOOMM!*
After flying and attacking for a while Catherine suddenly felt Alcina release an ominous pressure and turned around, only to see the face of her humanoid's body contort in wrath!
"Alcina?" She was about to ask what happened when Lingqi's voice resonated.
"They're disappearing..." She said, prompting the Queen to turn around and see the five figures turning into dust.
The ferocious fight in the distance also seemed to have calmed down.
"Master killed that bastard..." Alcina said, but her voice was anything but friendly.
Catherine's brows lifted as her words didn't contrast with the joy of the news.
'I will tell you later...' She received that message from Alcina and didn't say anything else.
"Where is my husband?" She asked, if he killed and devoured the sect master, then he should be blinking this way now.
"... He's starting to kill the remaining members of the Asura Demon Sect and also... Apes?" The countess answered seeing her master skewer every single one of them relentlessly.
"...?" Catherine didn't understand what need was there to do that now, the only thing she wanted to do after such a prolonged fight was to take a bath with her husband relax, and then sleep.
"Father is angry..." Lingqi added and sat on Alcina's back, also trying to relax after the hell they just went through.
...
The trio kept silent and continue flying towards the tiger region.

The moment they reached the tiger region, not too deep inside the forest they found a particular cave they had been searching for.
However, this cave wasn't isolated.
Hundreds of monsters, ranging from the 5th Nether Water Realm Early-stage to the 6th Feeble Water Realm Great Completion, covered the pathway to the inside of the cave.
*BOOOMM*
Alcina's gargantuan and horrendous body landed heavily on the ground as she stared at the hundreds of beasts covering this cave deeply secluded in the forest.
The beast stepped back instinctively but didn't leave, Alcina's appearance was just that frightening if not just plain scary.
'What now?' The countess asked the Queen...
'Open your mouth...' Catherine deadpanned and lifted her hand, showing the Qilin's cleansing fire.
Alcina also opened her mouth and inside, the monsters gazed at the baby Qilin's body that was still breathing, despite being a baby however, its size was that of a truck.
The monsters looked at each other in recognition and started to move aside, making way inside the cave but still keeping on guard.
The girls could even sense thousands of monsters lurking nearby, but with weaker cultivation.
No wonder no one dared step in here, usually, when they did it was with an equally frightening lineup and with a clear purpose.
Alcina walked inside, trusting completely in the memories Catherine gave her, and also, the Queen's judgement.
Inside the dark cave, they found a very complex drawing, it seemed to be some kind of... Ritual?
But they knew what to do, Alcina's body walked in and stepped inside the 'ritual' as it started to shine, emitting foreign energy they were not completely aware of or even comprehended.
Lingqi marvelled at this new discovery, foreign energy that wasn't nature energy.
*FIUSHH*
Before long, their bodies disappeared in a light show and the runes that had been shining the whole time once again regained their quietness.

Their bodies appeared inside what looked like another cave, but clearly different from the one they had previously been in.
The countess walked her way to the exit, and what they found on the other side, was nothing short of impressing.
It seemed to be a massive cave complex, the ceiling was sealed, indicating they were underground but on the ceiling, there were those weird light sources that shone with an intensity that resembled the sun.
They stared around only to see hundreds of beasts encircling them, however this time...
The weakest was at the 6th Feeble Water Realm, Early-Stage!
Very few of them were even at the 8th Supreme Purity Divine Thunder, Early Stage.
Their appearances looked nothing short of eccentric!
Those are Mythical Beasts, like the Phoenix and the Qilin!
"Welcome... Otherworlders." A glamorous and alluring voice resounded from above as their gazes instinctively followed her voice.
What they saw was a woman so breathtaking even Catherine felt pressured.
Her grey dress attached to her curvy body in the most perfect of ways, her eyes stared down at them, not with mock but with a lot of seriousness. On top of her head, there was some kind of weird that they couldn't understand but it also didn't look bad on her.
Their gazes intertwined for a minute as the woman didn't show the slightest apprehension in front of Alcina's monstrous appearance.
"My name is Varete, the manager of this place... Now, could you take that small Qilin out of your mouth, Madam?"
