Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 2623 Their Bond?

Chapter 2623 Their Bond?

"-although I could see the tremendous heaviness and the deadliness of this icy sword intent, I think this path is not the right one for me."
In the end, Niel Bladeheart shook his head, causing Natalya and Tanya to secretly heave a sigh of relief. For a moment, they thought he was going to stupidly get killed, which would be a waste of his talent.
"I'm glad you understood instead of trying to forcefully comprehend my icy essence. Perhaps, with time, you might be able to comprehend it but it doesn't suit your inherent character." The Frostcloud Sword Empress lightly nodded, "However, the insights you gained should be quite useful to you, just as what Yuren comprehended. Isn't that right?"
Niel Bladeheart nodded, but the Frostcloud Sword Empress turned to look at Yuren.
Yuren raised her hands and cupped them respectfully, "I thank Frostcloud Sword Empress for showing me the way."
The Frostcloud Sword Empress possessed a complex gaze as she looked at her.
"I think my good intentions have misled you. Sigh… but that is the path that you chose for yourself and I muse, the correct one for a disciple of the Forsaken Yin Lotus Sect."
The Frostcloud Sword Empress lightly shook her head as she could feel even the bit of righteousness that remained in Yuren's heart had disappeared by the time she had come out. Right now, even Natalya could tell that Yuren was just a cold statue waiting to sting someone upon touch.
She frowned her brows, thinking that it was no longer the same Yuren she only looked forward to defeating as a rival. Perhaps, the righteous heart was hidden behind a frozen heart, but that didn't stop her from looking down on Yuren once again.
This woman was displeasing in her gaze as she denied her way of life.
Natalya was about to say something, but she pursed her lips, looking at the Frostcloud Sword Empress waving her hand.
"Wait-!"
At this moment, Niel Bladeheart and Yuren disappeared. The former even wanted to say something but was still sent out.
However, three people still remained. They were Tanya, Natalya, and Iesha.
The latter two looked at Tanya and each other, knowing that Niel Bladeheart probably wanted to confess at this moment, but their brows also squinted, wondering why they were still remaining here when they heard the Frostcloud Sword Empress's voice.
"Speak. I can see you three are related somehow, but it doesn't explain how you all display immense comprehension capability, one that even supersedes Yuren's comprehension ability, a person chosen to be one of Forsaken Yin Lotus Sect's true disciples. How is it possible for three of you to appear at the same time like this, or has the average comprehension ability of the world improved drastically beyond compare? This isn't in line with how desolation sprawls over the lands and skies after a certain amount of time has passed."
The Frostcloud Sword Empress narrowed her brows. Her squint of the eyes was like the enclosure of the space turning frigid, making them feel some freezing dread that chilled their hearts.
Tanya and Iesha turned to look at Natalya upon feeling this tense atmosphere.
Their gaze instantly made the Frostcloud Sword Empress see who the leader or the mastermind of this group was, causing her gaze to also land on Natalya.
Natalya felt all of their gazes focus on her, and her brows couldn't help but twitch. She understood that they couldn't just reveal their secrets and that those two looked at her for help, but they were relying on seniority now?
However, as the one who received responsibility, she lightly breathed out a nervous sigh and lightly smiled.
"Perhaps… it has something to do with… Ice Essence Orb and Yin Essence Orb we shared and absorbed?"
"Oh?" The Frostcloud Sword Empress's eyes gleamed, "You had managed to find such pure treasures of the heaven and earth? They are even purer than Immortal Crystal Vein Source, granting the purest insights into the sea of Laws. If you three had absorbed those kinds of resources, it certainly would've increased your perception of those Laws greatly, but from your words, I can see you three are sisters who bonded with each other, even going as far as to share these treasures. It is no wonder you two exited upon reaching the third level."
She nodded her head, finally feeling like having understood what made them care for each other. Otherwise, she was suspicious of their actions as this was a dog-eat-dog world.
She had an Immortal Emperor Inheritance, and these three were playing chummy with each other? They were not even blood-related, and one of them was even from a totally unrelated race. She would rather believe that there were countless Immortal Emperor Inheritances by this time than believe they were good to each other, but with their words, she could understand that they truly cared about each other.
After all, these treasures would make even Immortal King's eyes go with envy as it would drastically strengthen their foundation of comprehension, making their Laws purer and consequently increasing their prowess.
"So if you're the one leading this group, and I give Tanya this inheritance, wouldn't I change the status quo?"
The Frostcloud Sword Empress's eyes gleamed, but three of them shook their heads at the same time, causing her to be slightly astonished once again before she refocused her gaze at Natalya.
"For you to be able to lead with such trust and even take a different stance to learn the Forsaken Yin Lotus Manual, who are you? Should I take a step back and award all three of you with an equal share of the inheritance so that I wouldn't leave a scar in your sisterhood?"
Natalya, Tanya, and Iesha were stunned by the Frostcloud Sword Empress's magnanimity. Despite the chill she exuded, they could feel the encompassing warmth that her sword intent exuded. They could only feel that she was the essence of what she taught, causing them to be full of respect.
However, Natalya was already feeling shameful over the Frostcloud Sword Empress's misunderstanding. She didn't want to take credit all for herself, even as a form of deceit to obtain what they wanted so badly. More than devaluing her own words, she felt that it was disrespectful to her husband.
"Actually, I'm not that big-hearted..." Natalya clenched her teeth and heaved a breath of unease, "If I had found the Essence Orbs by myself or even ourselves, we probably wouldn't have shared it as much as the Frostcloud Sword Empress thought we could."
"What do you mean?"
"Hmm… this might be slightly offensive to the Frostcloud Sword Empress… and you might look down upon us, but..."
"…" The Frostcloud Sword Empress squinted her brows on hearing Natalya's hesitative tone but still gestured.
"Go on."
Natalya turned to look at Tanya and Iesha, and the three nodded at the same time, causing Natalya to turn around and move her rosy lips.
"We're intimately tied to the same man, and we're rather… proud of it!"
"…!"
For the first time, the Frostcloud Sword Empress's eyes shot wide open, appearing to have lost her composure as she blinked at them. Her lips even slightly parted behind her veil for quite a while before she regained her composure, refocusing her gaze at them.
She couldn't help but look at them with a new perspective, but whether it was positive or negative, only she herself knew as her brows squinted.
"Is he big-hearted enough to give up those two coveted treasures for you three?"
Natalya's brows couldn't help but twitch as she nodded. Two coveted treasures? He was big-hearted to give many types of Essence Orbs and treasures away to them. However, only after the Frostcloud Sword Empress reiterated the magnitude of those resources did she feel fortunate to have him by her side again, causing her cheeks to feel some warmth in both embarrassment and delight.
"That is indeed the truth."
The other two couldn't help but feel the same as they voiced their opinions.
"Interesting…"
The Frostcloud Sword Empress turned to look away, appearing to think of something before she looked at them again.
"I want to see this man. Bring him to me."
"…"
Natalya and Iesha turned to look at each other, wondering if they had done the right thing by getting their man involved in this matter or did they completely mess up and would not receive the inheritance at all?
Their hearts pounded, feeling that they had wronged Tanya.
However, Tanya walked to the front and nodded.
"Sure. Let us out, and we'll go call our husband..."
"..."
The Frostcloud Sword Empress narrowed her brows. Was this woman not afraid that if she were to send her out that she would never invite her again?
