Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 375 Confronting The Twins

A week later.
A youth dressed in princely robes walked towards the quarters where the princes stayed. He crossed a few corridors and arrived at the location where the Emperor's Seventh Brother stayed.
The youth was none other than Davis.
The Emperor's Seventh Brother; Viktor, stayed with his woman in his newly assigned room. It was unknown whether if he had already married her or not, but her presence had already become a widely discussed topic in the Royal Castle.
After all, she wore glasses and a white coat over her garments. It was something that they had never seen before. However, the most important matter they couldn't understand was why Viktor brought a mortal woman instead of a cultivator to marry.
Davis didn't have an inkling of Viktor's thoughts but he knew that the clothes and the glasses the woman wore were something unique; that both belonged to Planet Earth! Not the Grand Sea Continent!
Davis stood in front of a door and knocked on it before he waited for the response.
"Come in..." A depressed yet deep voice echoed.
Davis opened the door as he went inside.
In the room, the two figures he expected to see were present but there was another figure as well.
It was none other than Jonas; the Emperor's Eighth Brother.
"You are?" Viktor narrowed his eyes as he asked in a soft tone.
Before Davis could answer, Jonas, replied, "He's Davis, Fifth Brother's prodigal son. The one I was talking about..."
Jonas had a curve up his lips as if he was proud for some reason.
He had come out depression sooner than he thought he would, but the reason why he could stand up straight lied within his guiltiness.
He had gone around asking people what had happened two decades ago, and the answer he received from all the people left him feeling ashamed of himself for none other than feeling suspicious of his Fifth Brother, Logan.
He had thought his Fifth Brother wrongfully and used evil schemes to claim the throne but reality had been quite different, making him feel immense guilt which then helped him recover from depression.
The latter happened when he learned about his Fifth Brother's deeds and turned proud, especially when he heard about his Fifth Brother's son, Crown Prince Davis.
Viktor widened his eyes in surprise, "So you are Davis... I've just heard a lot about you from Jonas a while ago..."
He stood up and clasped his hands, "I want to thank your master for saving the Loret Empire from extermination!"
He lifted up his head and added, "Please relay my thanks!"
Jonas slightly shook his head, thinking that his twin brother was overly proper.
Yesterday, Viktor had come out of his room for the first time after mourning for his dead family members.
So, Davis nodded back to him as could understand his seventh uncle's raging emotions a bit. He did keep an eye on them for various reasons after all.
"I imagine that it was a long journey for you two to reach the Law Seed Stage, so make yourselves at home." Davis smiled with his eyes narrowed.
"We will..." Viktor smiled back as he nodded.
"That person is?" Davis asked as he looked at Meng Ying.
Viktor's eyes widened as he introduced her, "Oh, she is my girlfrie... wife..."
"Married to her while adventuring? The kind of clothes she wears is so... unique and low in quality. I wonder where she is from?" Davis asked as he made a confused expression.
"Ahh, my bad. I forgot to give her the royal family clothes after returning to this Royal Castle." Viktor replied while not answering Davis's questions.
Although he didn't receive any answers, Davis had noticed a slight of words from Viktor.
That is, no one uses the word girlfriend in the Grand Sea Continent as far as he knew. They would only use words such as his lover, his woman, cultivation partner, fiance or even sweetheart in extremely rare cases.
With this, he could at least confirm his suspicions to a great extent.
Viktor and Jonas didn't know of the major events in the Loret Empire, much less the events that took place in the Grand Sea Continent.
The Loret Empire's rebellion and the destruction of the Raven Empire and Tritor Empire was a huge event, yet they didn't know about it.
This also confirmed his suspicions about them possibly being in another space.
It was obvious that they didn't come from the First Layer since they needed to be at the Sixth Stage to pass through the independent spatial gateway, if so, with his current knowledge, using the process of elimination, the only place that he could think of was the Third Layer; Planet Earth
If that lab coat and glasses could be said to be the first clue that made him doubt that they returned from Planet Earth, then the word girlfriend practically confirmed it.
"So she's a mortal..." Davis nodded his head and slightly lifted up his chin as if he was looking down on them.
Viktor and Jonas could hear the condescending tone in Davis's voice and assumed that he had looked down on her.
Jonas could understand Davis's attitude since he had also looked down on the mortals before, even now.
Viktor slightly narrowed his eyes. He could also understand Davis's attitude but this was his wife beside him.
Furthermore, Davis could be considered his junior. How can his nephew look down on his wife like that?
But on second thought, he quickly remembered Davis's strength and realized that the latter had the strength to look down on him as well.
A complex emotion arose in his heart which he could not tell if it was hollow pride or self-pity.
"You shouldn't underestimate these mortals, they've developed something called as Science and some of the objects created from science seem to be the same as some of the formations we use!" Jonas excitedly replied as he wanted to show off his knowledge.
Davis widened his eyes as if he was interested, but in truth, the words he heard now absolutely confirmed to him that they returned from Planet Earth, unless something like a Parallel Universe existed.
"Ohh... I'm interested in visiting the place of that mortal. Can Seventh Uncle guide me?"
Jonas narrowed his eyes, faintly feeling that something was wrong.
Wouldn't one usually disdain something that was created by a mortal? Why does his nephew seem interested instead?
Jonas couldn't help but doubt when the other party clearly disdained to even look at the mortal; Meng Ying.
Viktor on the other hand suddenly felt good from being called Seventh Uncle.
He laughingly opened his mouth, "Haha! Seventh Uncle? Good! To visit that mortal's place, you need to..."
Viktor suddenly stopped and turned to see his wife, Meng Ying grasping his hands. He saw the pleading light in her eyes and his face scrunched up with a difficult expression.
After a moment of hesitation, he turned to look at Davis with an apologetic gaze, "Uhh... Davis, I'm sorry but this matter concerns... Ah, yes, my wife's safety."
Davis blinked as he saw his Seventh Uncle's lie through his teeth without even trying to be convincing.
And when he saw Meng Ying pleading with her eyes to not disclose the whereabouts of Planet Earth, he could actually sympathize with her.
He didn't want others to find out about the unique Planet Earth but alas! He couldn't care less and really needed to know the way back to Planet Earth.
He shook his head and said, "How about this? I'll take you two or all three of you to the First Layer, and in return, you two tell me the coordinates of that mortal's place, okay?"
Viktor blinked his eyes and was really tempted. The reason he and his twin brother Jonas had chosen to travel the world was because of the excitement of adventures, and traveling to the First Layer meant extreme adventures.
He wanted to reveal the location but curbed his desire when he looked at Meng Ying's face again.
He sighed and was just about to explain when Jonas suddenly interrupted.
"Wait! Why are you so fixated on that lousy mortal's space known as Planet Earth?" Jonas uttered as he looked at Davis with confusion.
He suddenly widened his eyes and pointed at Davis, "Could it be that your master is the one who actually told you to ask for this information?"
Davis blinked again in astonishment as he thought, 'This Eighth Uncle of mine really has a creative imagination in his mind...'
But still, the two uncles were no fools and could see through his intent in coming here.
He sighed again, "Two times..."
"What?" Viktor uttered in confusion. He was just shocked by Jonas's revelation and was thinking if that was the case when suddenly he heard Davis speak.
"I gave you people two chances but you still choose to not answer my question..."
"Look, Davis..." Jonas stepped forward as he approached Davis, wanting to explain that Viktor wouldn't reveal it unless his wife gave him the okay, however, he was interrupted.
"I didn't want to do this but if that's what's written in fate, then I can only offend you two..."
Davis kept shaking his head as if he didn't really want to do this. He extended his hands and opened his palms as he stretched it.
Sensing that something was wrong, Viktor and Jonas instantly tried to protect and defend respectively but their reaction was a second slower than Davis's.
*THUD!!*
Viktor and Jonas kneeled down at the same time and the resulting suppression that came from their souls made them absolutely unable to stand up.
Meng Ying took a step back as she turned aghast in disbelief.
Why did it become like this suddenly!?
"Soul Suppression Art..." Davis calmly spoke as he moved towards them.
The two brothers were unable to even talk. They couldn't even move as they found it difficult to control their nerves when their souls were being suppressed.
"Actually, I'm still holding back a lot. With my Soul Force, a normal soul attack is enough to kill you two on the spot but I'm not after your lives." Davis spoke as he stood in front of them.
"What I need is the way to that place called Planet Earth... And I hope that you can guide me or at least inform me of the location..."
Davis slightly lowered the pressure and made it enough for them to be and to talk.
"You!... Davis... Why are you doing this?" Viktor asked as veins stuck up over his neck. He found it incredibly difficult to even keep kneeling.
Meanwhile, Jonas didn't say anything but kept his head down as he tried his best to not totally fall down under the immense pressure.
"Maybe it's for my master but it doesn't matter. Are you still going to delay the inevitable and not tell me about the way to the so-called Planet Earth?" Davis asked while his face was calm from the start to the current. He had an indifferent expression on his face as if the life and death of the others didn't matter to him in any way.
Viktor struggled to turn his face over to Meng Ying's direction. Once he saw her pale and scared expression, he gritted his teeth in inner conflict.
Davis sighed inwardly, 'I can't tell you my secrets, so I can only force you to reveal the way to Planet Earth..'
"Father would be mad if I treated you two like this anymore, so..." Davis's gaze turned to Meng Ying, "But father wouldn't say anything if I were to target her, right?"
Meng Ying's expression went pale as she staggered back in fright.
Davis moved past the both of them as he approached Meng Ying.
Viktor's pupils dilated into tiny circles. He tried to break away from the soul pressure but immense paid threatened to shatter his mind.
"You!" He clenched his fist while feeling helpless, and rage threatened to swallow his heart.
When he saw Davis standing in front of her, he shouted, "No! Meng Ying, don't... do it!"
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~*
*Bang!~*
*Cling~ Cling~ Cling~*
The sound of a magazine being emptied and hitting the floor as the shells rolled could be heard as Meng Ying pointed a unique pistol at Davis.
