Divine Emperor of Death

"The thing is..."

Mival Silverwind started explaining, going straight to the point through the Quarter-Century Million Kilometer Messaging Talisman.

In the Western Ascendance Monument, Davis learned that many powers were present. More than a hundred, all of them waiting for the Emperor of Death, with different intentions.

Which power likely seemed to be challenging him? Which power likely seemed to be hostile to him? Which power wanted to recruit him?

Although their intents could only be vaguely identified, and Mival Silverwind tried his best to explain the intricacies involved between many powers who targeted him for various reasons, Davis got the gist of it and etched them in his heart.

He wouldn't be showing much mercy to those who were openly hostile to him, intending to exterminate them if he had the chance.

Mival Silverwind ended up explaining for half an hour before he finally exhausted his energy while using the Quarter-Century Million Kilometer Messaging Talisman. It seemed that it took an enormous amount of energy to convey through distances, especially when there were so many obstacles like formations, undulations, and phenomena that disrupted the spatial canvas of the First Haven World.

Nonetheless, he said all he had to say, imbuing Davis with the required information.

Davis was honestly taken aback to learn that the Starlight Jade Wolf King wanted to support him, even revealing the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's hypocrisy of wanting to nip the bud before it could grow by threatening their King-Tier Magical Beast- no, the King-Tier Immortal Beast.

After all, the King-Tier Cyan Soul Rat seemed to have already become an Immortal Beast, causing the Cyan Soul Rat Clan to become joyful yet also cunning in their strategy to bide time, just like him.

"I should've wiped out those Cyan Soul Rats when I had the chance, but it's fine. They've been so generous enough to give me a reason to massacre their entire clan..."

Evelynn blinked at Davis's wicked expression.

"Yes. It is said that the meat of Cyan Soul Rat is good for soul tempering. However, I assume that some vermin clan wouldn't be enough for a monster like you who sneaked in without anyone realizing it. Ahahaha!"

Mival Silverwind laughed out loud before he continued, "Alright, I've told you what you need to know, so don't forget this little brother in the future."

"Of course." Davis also chuckled, "If I don't treat you better, then who will?"

"Aye, about that..."

Mival Silverwind then summarized his experiences in the Viridian Lightning Fox Clan, causing Davis to understand that they obtained a backer because of Zanna, who now went by the name of Anna.

"That's good. Now you can aim higher with the strength and backing of the Viridian Lightning Fox Clan. Just don't open your mouth about me, and before someone could recognize you, I would've already stepped into the realm of the giants."

"Hopefully, yes." Mival Silverwind answered, "I wish you good luck."

The Quarter-Century Million Kilometer Messaging Talisman lost its luster before Davis waved his hand and kept it back inside his spatial ring.

"Can I also take part in the killing?"

"No."

Davis didn't even hesitate to answer Evelynn's question, causing her to narrow her brows. However, before she could say anything, he turned to look at her.

"Not because you're a mortal, but as my wife, you should not make a move unless you need to."

Evelynn's agape mouth closed before she nodded to his statement, agreeing with it.

"So, what have you planned for the Cyan Soul Rat Immortal Clan?" She eagerly asked.

Ever since she heard that those Cyan Soul Rats targeted Davis, she was pissed off beyond compare, possessing a cold expression behind her veil.

"Well, I'm not going to target them without becoming an immortal first. That's suicidal even for me."

Davis smiled back.

He wasn't going to take back his words.

The Cyan Soul Rats were practically his priority targets on his path to soul consumption and improvement. However, possessing inadequate cultivation, he had no choice but to target appropriate opponents who were within his abilities and not the Cyan Soul Rat Clan that had Immortal Kings to quickly take him out of the game.

"Then…?" Evelynn inclined her head, "Are you going to target the others who ascended and sold you out? If you did that, then-"

"I know."

"It's time that I stumbled upon a Dead End."

"…?"

Evelynn blinked at Davis's mysterious smile, but then, she suddenly understood, causing her to smile widely.

"I won't disturb you then. Have fun~"

"Sure, but before that, let's sort out the things back in the manor."

Davis smiled more before the two of them left the area.

It took them half a day to reach the Thirty-Fourth Fire Phoenix City by foot, and by that time, it was early morning.

=======

Entering through the gates without receiving much suspicion, Davis and Evelynn looked around, noticing that there was a change in wanted posters and the group of people gathering in front of it every few minutes.

Bounty Hunters.

Such a profession did exist, and they mainly hunted bandits and other sources of misfits and malignant tumors to earn. A huge board accommodated the information that the Haise Gravedigger Gang was annihilated in this region, causing a storm to erupt.

However, there was also something more significant than that was widely spoken about.

[Anyone who has information on a lightning spirit that has recently entered the Immortal Stage and a dark-attributed wolf that had entered the Mid Immortal Beast Stage will be handsomely rewarded by the city officials.]

Below those words were the numbers [1,000 - 100,000].

Obviously, the handsome reward meant a thousand to ten thousand immortal crystals depending on the usefulness of the information, causing countless people to gossip about the exorbitant reward for just providing some information.

It kicked up even more of a storm than the City Lord dying to a Blue Luan Immortal as some even spread rumors that this matter could be related to it!

Davis and Evelynn only stopped for a moment before they continued on. Taking a ride, they quickly arrived before their street, alighted, and walked to Klade's estate. The two guards, the twin brothers of Founder Alstreim's wife, didn't stop them this time and let them go inside without even asking a question.

In fact, they acted like they didn't even know them.

"Brother Davis, you're back!"

Once Davis and Evelynn were inside, Jerius Alstreim, the first grandson of Founder Alstreim, greeted them as he rushed towards them.
