Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1724 - Reminded
Chapter 1724 - Reminded
Quara's eyelids fluttered as she heard Davis address her. She appeared quite hesitant as she moved her lips.
"I... changed my mind."
"..."
Her answer made many blink before they turned to look at Davis, who merely nodded his head.
"I understand."
"..."
This time, it was Quara who became dumbfounded as she blinked.
'You understand...? What do you understand? Hand over Zestria Domitian already if you want my Scarlet Tyrant Hawk Abode to side with you!'
Quara inwardly screamed, hoping that he would change his mind.
Does this human not understand the art of discourse? She even said that she would look favorably upon the deal if the trade succeeded, so why was he not reconsidering and appeared as if he had completely pushed the matter away?
She couldn't understand.
What part of the trade deal did she come short of? In her mind, a man wouldn't go this far for a woman without having some feelings for that said woman. After all, the resource that she was exchanging can make one of his women who train in Fire Laws somewhat catch up to Isabella in terms of laws.
The desire was clear when she saw him interacting with the women who possessed Fire Laws. However, she suddenly thought back to the scene where Zestria Domitian fell to his legs and appeared so pitiful.
'Could this Zestria really have managed to seduce the Emperor of Death...?'
"If there's nothing else to discuss, please continue to enjoy the banquet. As for the loose alliance we formed with the Magical Beast Sanctuary, I'll have them send a few Emperor Beast Stage Magical Beasts to protect the Alstreim Family from tomorrow."
Davis's voice echoed, causing Quara to come out of her reverie while Everlight genuinely smiled and nodded.
"Please leave it to me, your eminence."
"Excellent."
Davis looked joyful and gestured for the two enslaved Dragon Queens to bring in more food, which they did with skill and swiftness as though they didn't want to disappoint him.
'As expected of the Dragon Queens. They learn quickly...'
While many nodded as if expecting this is what their Emperor of Death deserved to have, some sneered in schadenfreude.
However, there was only one person who looked worried.
It was none other than Quara, who still expected Davis to reconsider but somehow, she was already outside the Alstreim Family, looking at the setting sun while blinking her eyes.
"The banquet ended..."
Quara absentmindedly uttered, to which the man behind her nodded.
"Yes, Young Miss. We missed the opportunity to form an alliance with the Emperor of Death, and neither did we manage to obtain anything of significance, although we did manage to establish a means of communication."
Quara's brows twitched as she looked deep into the horizon.
The Sealing Hex on her cultivation was simultaneously released as it was released for Everlight, but she hadn't obtained what she wanted. She had mainly come here for Zestria Domitian as there was a chance that she might be executed and done with like a plaything, but she didn't expect the Emperor of Death to side with her, causing her wishes to fall into ruins.
Now, it wasn't possible for her to become a King-Tier Magical Beast unless she targeted the Domitian Family, but who else other than Zestria Domitian possessed such immense purity of Fire Dragon Blood? Her mother, who already had her primal yin essence taken away?
She could not afford to deal with the entire Domitian Family for a mere seventeen or eighteen percent chance. That's less than one-fifth of a chance, like rolling a dice. She knew for a fact that she would fail on the first try, and fate would have it that she only had a try.
"Sigh, forget it." Quara dropped her shoulders, "At least, I have obtained the information that the Emperor of Death can slip through the barrier and enter the Sealed Land of the Spirits. Perhaps, when the time comes, this information would come in handy and could save our lives from the Calamity Light as we can plead for him to take us with him."
"Does Young Miss mean to say that the Calamity Light doesn't exist on the Sealed Land of the Spirits?"
The young man couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know, but the fact that the Emperor of Death easily made the Magical Beast Sanctuary his subordinate makes me wonder if that's the case. After all, the weakest spot in the barrier is in the Magical Beast Sanctuary Territory. In any case, we'll naturally know when the time comes."
"Young Miss is wise."
The young man seemed to be full of praise and desire towards Quara.
They soon left the Alstreim Family Territory, entering the Poison Lord Villa Territory before they made their way east.
On the rooftop of the Purple Guest Palace, Davis sat on a ledge and looked at Everlight and Quara leave. Beside him, Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow were present, floating in the air as they looked at him with pride in their eyes.
Before they could say something, Davis took out a messaging talisman that glowed.
"Your eminence, the Four Great Righteous Sects have decided to have the Nine Western Territories Young Expert Competition in two months. Along with that, they announced the re-election of the Nine Western Territories would occur, replacing the little hegemons your eminence annihilated."
"Oh..."
Davis's brows raised as he heard the All-Seeing Emperor's voice while the two Ancestors went wide-eyed as well.
"So they finally decided to have that competition." Davis couldn't help but smirk, "But what about the Falling Snow Sect's Territory? They have abandoned their Territory and are here, but still, they do hope to reclaim it."
"This..." The All-Seeing Emperor sounded unsure, "Truthfully speaking, I'm not sure. The Four Great Righteous Sects only said they're going to re-elect the hegemons of the Nine Western Territories other than the Alstreim Family, Thousand Pill Palace, and the Mystic Ice Sect."
"Heh." Davis sneered before he spoke in a commanding tone.
"Send them a piece of news that the Falling Snow Sect Territory and the Tripartite Alliance Territory are off-limits, or I'll be having some trouble with them. Including the Alstreim Family, these three easternmost Territories are mine."
"As you wish, your eminence."
The All-Seeing Emperor replied before the messaging talisman stopped glowing.
"Thank you."
Ancestor Tirea Snow pursed her lips and looked at Davis with gratefulness.
"No need for thanks, Ancestor Tirea Snow, although I advise moving back to the Falling Snow Sect only after we survive the Calamity Light."
Hearing Davis's words, Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes.
"Is this that serious, even to you?"
"Yes." Davis nodded as his gaze pierced into the horizon.
"Perhaps, I wouldn't be able to even lift a finger."
His solemn voice left their hearts shaken, making them lift up their heads and see the dark speck of light hanging over their heads. They couldn't help but clench their teeth, displaying hostility and helplessness towards it.
Was it fated for them to only have a small taste of absolute power before falling?
On the other hand, Davis felt like he wasn't exaggerating.
Judging by what Tian Cangjie said, the cultivators who were breaking through the void to enter this realm would be powerful than the fabled immortals. If that is the case, he felt that he could do nothing other than rely on the so-called master of this world to save this world again.
However, was this master still alive considering the passage of time?
'Perhaps...'
Davis couldn't tell if he wanted this master of the world to be alive or dead because he felt that he was screwed either way. He felt that both parties could be hostile to him or turn on him later even if they acted friendly, for he possessed the treasure they sought as Tian Cangjie did.
"In any case, we'll eventually see what it is in a year or two at best."
Davis stood up and flew back into the Purple Guest Palace, waving his hand towards them.
"See you two oldies later. Don't forget to bring a baby into this world. I already have two on the way! Ahahaha!"
"You...!"
Ancestor Tirea Snow blushed as she looked at Davis escape. When she glanced at Ancestor Dian Alstreim through the corner of her eyes, he was already looking at her with a desirous smile.
"..."
After a brief romantic confrontation, they too left the rooftop.
Davis returned to the Purple Guest Palace's top floor.
While walking the hallway, he was reminded again of someone from the talk before and thought about Ellia, wondering if he should go visit her in the Mystic Ice Sect. He felt that the chances that she was there were plentiful. After asking the All-Seeing Emperor about the changes in the Mystic Ice Sect in the past before the banquet started today, Davis found that it strangely revolved around a single character who publically appeared a few years ago as a top disciple and disappeared as if they never existed.
Her name was Myria, and she was said to possess white hair.
The time Shirley joined the Burning Phoenix Ridge, and Myria publically appeared in the Mystic Ice Sect matched, making him think Ellia was going by the name Myria.
'No... it might be that white witch's name...'
Davis thought as he furrowed his brows.
If he went ahead and found her in the Mystic Ice Sect, a confrontation is bound to happen, especially when he was still intent on separating Ellia from her but still hadn't found a way even after going through Soul Palace's records and techniques.
'Still, I stirred a huge commotion, and she hadn't come to see or even kill me? Surely, she must feel some kind of threat towards me since she should know that I could defeat her, or does she thinks that she can still beat me, or just purely not know? No, Shirley told me she is very cautious like me, so she must be more or less aware of my power. Then...'
Davis thought of many scenarios.
As he contemplated, he arrived before Tina Roxley's room and knocked on it, continuing to think. However, even after a few minutes, Tina Roxley didn't open the door, causing him to stop thinking about Ellia as he knocked once again.
He thought that she might be breaking through and waited.
"..."
However, there was still no reaction, provoking him to reach out his hands and touch the door as he felt worried.
'It's locked alright, but it wouldn't hurt to check. She's my wife anyway...'
Thinking like this, a seamless substance emerged from his palm. His soul force seeped through the fine wood, entering it even though it met some resistance that was futile. The next moment, he unceremoniously opened the door from inside and entered when his body shook.
"...!?"
Looking at Tina Roxley, who seemed to have collapsed on the floor, Davis's eyes widened.
"Tina!"
His body flickered before he appeared beside Tina, instantly using life energy on her in large amounts to heal whatever she may have suffered from!
Davis worriedly looked at her pale face and wondered what had happened for her to have collapsed. She wasn't like this when he sent a soul transmission in the noon, inviting her to the banquet!
Quara's eyelids fluttered as she heard Davis address her. She appeared quite hesitant as she moved her lips.
"I... changed my mind."
"..."
Her answer made many blink before they turned to look at Davis, who merely nodded his head.
"I understand."
