Divine Emperor of Death

"No." The green-robed woman shook her head, "We didn't even know such a family existed as most of us are from cities, not even needing to leave the confines of it."

"Our families were at war with other powers. Our powers were on the losing end, but we could still hold out. However, what we failed to watch out for was the snakes hidden behind the bushes. They strike where we are vulnerable and cause us to fall, managing to kidnap us."

'The Dark Sky Triad, huh...'

Davis imagined that these snakes were those bandit triplets.

"I know the identity of those snakes."

Abruptly, a crimson-robed woman stepped out and hovered in the skies.

"You are?" Davis saw that she had some presence, and many seemed respectful to her.

Her beauty was also not bad, but it didn't match the Level Two Immortal white-robed woman.

"My name is not important. All senior needs to know is that I'm the fourth woman Haijin Minn loved. As for the first three women, they were; unfortunately, all devoured by him."

"What!?"

This time, it was the other women who were shocked.

"There was no choice." The crimson-robed woman shook her head in a dejected manner, "Haijin Minn was in deep sorrow after what he did. It wasn't like he didn't try to save them, but he didn't know what to do for a while. Only after he had experienced the consequences of his vile technique could he make a move to protect his future victims. He got a Life Ring for us under the pretext of growing a medicinal herb garden. That's why eighty-three, no, eighty-four of us are still living instead of being devoured as cultivation resources for him."

"Furthermore, he even made a scene multiple times, offending many people to get rid of his father's immortal soul protecting him. He also attempted to foil his family's plans for him discreetly using an assassination contract to kill the real perpetrators, but as a result, a few people came to know of the vile deeds the Minn Family was committing. His plan ended in a failure, costing him even more resources and lives, including those of many women who could've entered here."

"We were helpless."

The crimson-robed woman's fists couldn't help but tremble.

"Senior, I may have been robbed of my chastity by him four years ago, but he has yet to touch me again or treat me wrongly. The same goes for other women. Whatever we asked, he did his best to provide secretly, doing his best to give us hope and not lose heart."

"Yeah, the first wife is right!"

"We will not lose heart!"

"Haijin Minn is a good man. Please don't kill him."

That crimson-robed woman seemed to blush on hearing the chorus that erupted below her.

"Yes, I'm the first woman whom Haijin Minn guarded in this Life Ring, whom he also trusts. That's why I also know the names of the people who kidnapped us since he had shared certain secrets with me and known only a few through my mouth."

"They are three brothers called Gregor, Fregor, and Sregor from the Dark Sky Triad, a bandit power. They are also triplets. Senior, I request upon your righteous soul to end their vile lives if you had the chance. However, Haijin Minn, my… husband, is not the evildoer. Please don't punish him."

Tears began pouring out of her eyes as she bowed her head.

"If senior insists otherwise, then please kill me. If you let me go, then I will commit suicide."

"Such foolishness!"

"Whatever one might say, my life, my future is with that man."

The crimson-robed woman appeared to be adamant, while Davis may have sounded angered but was still looking at it from a calm perspective. He understood that a majority of these women had fallen in love with Haijin Minn, their conqueror.

He didn't know what kind of mass Stockholm Syndrome spread was this, but with each woman learning a version of the truth after they had woken up here and with Haijin Minn interacting with them through the Life Ring, giving them hope, he saw that it was possible for most of them to be indeed attracted to their aggressor but also, savior.

Nonetheless, he was alarmed to know that there could've been a chance for an immortal soul to be protecting Haijin Minn.

Was it still there? He didn't know, but if it was as this crimson-robed woman said, then Haijin Minn shouldn't have his father's immortal soul.

"Ridiculous." Still, Davis didn't give up getting to the bottom of this matter, "If you all say that Haijin Minn is innocent, then tell me why the Minn Family kidnapped women like you instead of kidnapping women with yin-attributed physiques? I at least know that this brat possesses an incomplete Pure Yang Body, so don't try to fool me."

"That's because Haijin Minn's incomplete Pure Yang Body is a variant."

'A variant?'

Instantly, Davis remembered one of Drake's wives, Jade Sua.

Even now, her Exquisite Nine Yin Body's nature was undetermined. It was considered a variant, disallowing her to develop it as much as she wanted to. Even now, he recalled that she was unable to break through in her Essence Gathering Cultivation and only had Body Tempering Cultivation and Soul Forging Cultivation to improve upon.

"Senior, this involves my husband's secrets, so I won't go into detail." The crimson-robed woman continued, "However, the vile technique he uses, the Dark Yin Devouring Spear, is required for him to activate his physique according to someone knowledgeable, but I don't know who, and neither does my husband. However, it is said that the more karmic sin he has, the better the chances for his physique to become powerful."

"From what I heard, his family is trying to make his Immortal Grade Physique powerful, causing an Earth Immortal Vessel to manifest so that he would be able to step into the Immortal King Stage in the future without encountering any problem."

"I see."

The grumpy old voice resounded as it faded away, leaving the women waiting for his next words. However, a few seconds later, they realized that this unknown senior had left.

Their faces couldn't help but change. They had no way to contact the outside to know what was going on, their expressions turning worried.

Outside, Davis's senses penetrated the unconscious Haijin Minn's middle dantian.

Instantly, Davis saw a scene that shrunk his pupils.

The middle dantian was filled with runes as it should be. However, not only were these runes yang in nature, but some parts of them also radiated a dark aura.

'A dark-attributed variant Pure Yang Body Physique… how wicked yet extremely rare...'

Davis was in wonder over the fact of yang co-existing with darkness. In his mind, this kind of possibility was almost as impossible as learning Death Laws. Moreover, even if the darkness could co-exist with yang, the two opposite extremes would only serve to lower each other's prowess, not multiply it.

It was no wonder the neutral Minn Family did everything possible in order for Haijin Minn to awaken this physique, even tainting themselves in sin.

'Perhaps, the only reason that they hadn't suspected Haijin Minn of self-sabotaging and harboring these women's lives in the Life Ring was that even they were not sure if doing all this would awaken this variant immortal physique.'

Davis's eyes brightened. If that was the case, then everything made sense. A teenager could not possibly bypass the family's information network to interfere with the family's movements.

But at this moment, a palm shot towards his abdomen silently.

Davis blinked lazily as his hand swayed like a snake, grabbing a wrist. The palm was stopped in its tracks, causing its owner to become shocked.

Davis saw that his actions had caused Haijin Minn to become awake, but it was too bad for the other party because Davis recognized the disturbance in his soul undulations. Nonetheless, he gave no time for the other party to understand the situation, using his other hand to grab Haijin Minn's head as the aura of Enigmatic Heart Intent swelled inside.

"What plans do you have for those women you harbor in your Life Ring?

Haijin Minn was shocked to find himself stuck like he was bound by many chains that weighed like mountains, causing him to be unable to move for some reason, but at the same time, a powerful intent tried to override his will, causing him to open his mouth.
