Divine Emperor of Death

"Tirea and I have decided to publicly announce our marriage date by the end of the day. This matter got out of hand, so we have no choice but to do so."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke, garnering Davis to chuckle.

"What's so funny?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's brows couldn't help but become askew.

"Because it already got out of hand..."

Davis flicked his sleeves and threw a stone at them as if he was going to stone Ancestor Dian Alstreim, but the latter caught it, looking at it with narrowed eyes.

"An Imagery Stone?"

His gaze moved to Davis, and he saw that he still had a smile.

This wasn't one of his pranks, was it?

He mused but didn't ask anything and activated the Imagery Stone.

Two figures appeared in the projection in front of them. They wore luxurious robes and had the symbols of their powers on their robes.

"For what reason have I been graced by this unexpected guest today?"

"Unexpected?"

Two voices echoed from the projection, causing both Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow to narrow their eyes in hostility.

However, they didn't say anything and just listened as they witnessed the projection playing out. The both of them kept listening until the end, where Ancestor Elizar Yantra left before the projection from the Imagery Stone ended.

However, by the time they reached the end, Ancestor Dian Alstreim was already clenching his fists so hard that his Essence Gathering Cultivation undulated with fury! Flames almost burst out before a delicate hand grasped onto his shoulder.

When he looked back, he saw Ancestor Tirea Snow's calm yet cold expression before he calmed down.

"This is expected. That sc.u.m Elizar Yantra is becoming desperate..."

Ancestor Tirea Snow coldly spoke before Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded.

"Yes, his time in this world is nearing its end..."

As for believing that this was an authentic Imagery Stone and not a fake one that had recorded illusions, they believed that it was the former.

Even though it was so neatly taken from a noticeable angle that they couldn't help but doubt if it was real, they knew about Davis and Nadia's mind-boggling concealment abilities, so they instantly believed him.

Furthermore, Davis was constantly getting stronger that they didn't doubt his concealing capabilities. Ancestor Dian Alstreim was assured and felt confident because he knew that Davis could escape by himself with his concealment capabilities when things go south.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked at Davis with worry, "Are you fine? Escaping from that place must've been difficult, but fortunately, you're here safely."

He imagined that Davis could've been found out since Imagery Stones leak undulations that are easily found, making it rather impossible to record these kinds of situations. Even if Davis's mind-boggling concealment with the rumored death energy failed to conceal the undulations, he mused that Davis could still escape with his capabilities.

"If that trash Xanbas comes, then we'll kill him. No, we are going to ambush and kill him today by asking him to come out for a meeting of the Tripartite Alliance. As for the reason to show to the Nine Western Territories and the Four Great Righteous Sects who are overseeing us, we'll provide this Imagery Stone as the proof that is required. You are okay with it, right, Davis?"

"I'm okay with it," Davis wryly smiled, "But it is unnecessary."

"Why?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim frowned. He was burning with rage at the moment that he could no longer stand both of those fools' actions. How dare they target his Tirea? She was his reverse scale!

"I already took care of that idiotic Xanbas Goldsky. He should permanently enter closed-door seclusion from now on, never to see the light of day."

"...!?

Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow's eyes widened as they became shocked.

"What did you do?" The former couldn't help but ask with disbelief.

"Well," Davis shrugged, "I sneak attacked him with a similar Spirit Formation I used on you to seal his Body Tempering Cultivation and heavily injured his soul, making him weak enough to miserably grovel before I cast a slave seal on him."

"What!?"

Both of them shouted again in shock while Davis repeated his harmless yet necessary lie.

"Okay, I lied a bit. Nadia also helped me with her deadly species technique that attacks the soul, so yes, it was extremely easy for me to cast a slave seal on his mere Supreme Soul Stage Soul."

"..."

Looking at them remain dumbfounded, Davis smirked as he teased.

"What? Is it that surprising if I made Xanbas Goldsky my slave? I mean, I always told you two that I have ways to deal with you two, the Silverwinds or even Ezekiel Alstreim. Should I make him say that he is willing to be a slave to me to the entire world for you two to believe me?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim remained speechless as he absentmindedly shook his head.

"You... You really made him a slave?"

Ancestor Tirea Snow still couldn't help but ask as a dumbfounded expression adorned her beautiful face.

"I did..."

Davis took away his smile and heavily nodded his head, "However, while I was at it, I learned that Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross was hiding to the west of the secret entrance, so Xanbas became a retard and lost his will from the binding of a Blood Soul Contract, so he could now only purely listen to my words like a real puppet but care to explain about the part where you two forgot to even give a hint of danger that lurked around the corner?"

Both Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow blinked in shock.

Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky became a retard, from the binding of the Blood Soul Contract because he revealed the information to Davis? They couldn't help but suck in a cold breath of air before Ancestor Dian Alstreim shook his head.

"Davis, it's not that we didn't dare to say it, but we know that Soul Emperor Hadrian Cross wouldn't come out of seclusion with the way he let us go. There was no need to inform you as it would just create needless panic in your heart on top of making us retarded and crippled or even kill us."

"Yes, I know that, but what about a hint?" Davis made a questioning gesture, "Just saying that there's danger lurking around the secret entrance would've let me know vaguely."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim confidently shook his head, "Tirea and I talked about this when you decided to go back, and the conclusion we had arrived was that with your character, you would go court death out of your own curiosity while trying to determine the danger. Therefore, we felt this was best left unsaid because even if you knew, there's no way you could prepare against a High-Level Ninth Stage Soul Emperor, let alone battle against him. Before you see it, he would be behind you like you do to us, which is terrifying, but hopefully, that bastard is still wounded, which makes him concentrate on healing his injuries rather than come out to make needless trouble."

Davis stared at them, looking solemn as if he measured the weight of their words before he let out a wide smile.

"That's what I thought too, but I needed to hear that from your mouths. Thank you for putting my overcautious mind at ease."

Both of the Ancestors' smiled as they were glad he understood them. A discord between them now before the upcoming conflicts could even start was one of the worst situations they could deal with!

"Davis, I will always protect you even if you did one or two wrongs against the world, so don't needlessly confuse your heart and think that we're working against you."

"I know. Otherwise, you both wouldn't have supported me but instead tried to forcefully acquire the method of entering the Forsaken Phoenix Realm from me. Besides, you two don't have the smarts to scheme against me. Haha!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim brows twitched, but Ancestor Tirea Snow breathed a sigh of relief. However, his words at the end brought a smile to their faces, making this a jovial atmosphere instead of an awkward one.

After laughing, Davis continued.

"Well, moving back to the discussion at hand, we can use this valuable Imagery Stone to play Elizar Yantra to death without us even having to do anything. Right now, this bastard is probably moving around, trying to gain allies through this method for all we know, so this move of ours also puts a stop to whomever he may be planning with to take advantage of your scandal. What do you two think?"

"Perfect."

Ancestor Tirea Snow commented while Ancestor Dian Alstreim wryly shook his head.

"You put a death mark on his head, Davis. Once we release this Imagery Stone, it is destined that the Nine Western Territories and even the Four Great Righteous Sect might hunt down Elizar Yantra for scheming against a maiden of Tirea's caliber, even if it were not for scheming against me. Unfortunately for them who think they would have a chance, my Tirea is no longer a maiden."

"Dian, you scoundrel!~ What are you saying in front of our Davis?"

"Hahaha!

"I don't know... I'm just overjoyed. I feel like I don't even have to do anything to defeat my enemies anymore. Talk about having a talent like Davis without even having to nurture. Aren't I too damn lucky?"

He grinned as he felt like the heavens were favoring him with how the tide had turned in his favor.

Furthermore, this was all after Davis came by, making him believe that not only was he the hope but also the lucky star of the Alstreim Family!

Ancestor Tirea Snow stopped pinching Ancestor Dian Alstreim, her expression turning gentle. For the suffering she had caused him when her master brainwashed her, she was delighted that her man could enjoy growth, peace, and stability at this moment. As days passed, the Alstreim Family only got stronger while their Davis was also becoming more assertive and overbearing, strong enough to even enslave a Ninth Stage Powerhouse, which they would find extremely difficult to do!

"That's right. I forgot to ask with all these new problems emerging one by one." She smiled as her bosoms heaved, "How did your marriage go with your Dragon Queen? Did you make her yours?"

Davis's expression abruptly became a bit sorrowful.

"Unfortunately, she..."

"What's wrong?" Ancestor Tirea Snow's heart lowered its beat while Ancestor Dian Alstreim also looked worried, afraid that Davis received a heart demon from this setback. Only he knew how he felt when Tirea acted like she didn't know him. It was only after a thousand years did he know the truth, but the damage had changed his character from being confident to passive and enduring.

During these few years, he started to gain his confidence back, so he didn't want Davis to feel like that.

"She has declared her love for me and married me, becoming my third wife for eternity. But, poor Isabella, she's stuck with my arrogance for the rest of her life..."

Davis rubbed the back of his palms against his eyes, appearing as if he was crying as he sobbed.

"..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked speechless while an indifferent voice echoed.

"Dian, I want to beat him up?"

He turned to look at his Tirea before he heavily nodded, "He needs to be disciplined but make sure not to harm him because we need him."

Ancestor Tirea Snow raised her hand while Davis suddenly stopped acting as he held his hands high.

"Wait, wait! I was just kidding! Isabella became one of my loving wives. I surrender!"

"Pfttt~ Hehehehe~"

The stern Ancestor Tirea Snow broke out into a fit of laughter while Ancestor Dian Alstreim glanced at her, seemingly bewitched by her beautiful voice and face. The times that she was smiling became more frequent, but the times she laughed could only be counted on a single hand at the moment.

Abruptly, he felt like thanking Davis for acting childish!

However, his expression changed the next moment as he took a stone out before it began to glow.

"Ancestor, an unknown powerhouse is coming straight towards us from the territory Gate that leads to the Poison Lord Villa Territory!"

A frantic voice echoed from the messaging talisman, causing Ancestor Tirea Snow's laughter to stop as her voice turned icy.

"Courting death!~!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes in disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e while Davis shook his head in annoyance, feeling that his days of free reign were going to end.
