Divine Emperor of Death



"Of course." Isabella smiled confidently, "I haven't seen nor heard anything shady from the Earth Dragon Clan, so naturally, I have no reason to vilify you, the people who have shown sincerity and honesty to me.

"…"

Isabella's words made Great Ancestor Rocksunder and the others secretly heave a sigh of relief. But at this moment, they couldn't help but turn to look toward the elders of the Aurora Cloud Gate, who seemed to be abuzz with soul transmissions.

Seeing the Earth Dragon Clan look at the elders, Isabella, and the others also turned to look at them.

Elder Aradiel Furiose wasn't present in the scene, but Elder Earthsaber was present.

He rubbed his chin, making an awkward expression that couldn't be said to be amusing as it was filled with doubt.

"It seems that the Fire Phoenix Clan has declared war on the remnants of the Central Primesky Alliance as they waged war on the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan but were thwarted by the combined force of the Golden Crow Clan and the Obsidian Crystal Turtle Clan."

"What!?"

Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder stood up. The others also looked shocked while Isabella and her sisters looked at each other, frowning their brows.

Within a few seconds, Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder also received word of the war from his people, causing his expression to change.

"That retarded phoenix… does he have no sense!?"

Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder bellowed, appearing furious.

He had done so much to court Earth Dragon Queen into their power, even begging the Grand Elders not to include any requirements like Blood Soul Contracts to invite her while even forgoing his own self-respect to pull her in because her existence held immense meaning to the victory of their clan.

However, time and time again, his plans were thwarted by the impertinent and arrogant Patriarch Killian Zenflame, causing killing intent to seep out of his eyes.

His sane mind was filled with thoughts of carnage as he felt provoked again and again.

"They're trying to smoke our man out..."

Mingzhi instantly saw through the intricacies involved in this war.

As she had been with Davis when he disguised himself as Mo Tian, she knew how close he was with the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan and the Golden Crow Clan.

Hearing Mingzhi's account, Isabella and the others also narrowed their eyes.

Shirley couldn't control her trembling, scarlet flames were beginning to surge from her body, dancing with fury.

"My dear sisters, let's slaughter the Fire Phoenix Clan, shall we?"

She lowered her head and proposed, causing their hearts to churn with agreement, yet they couldn't easily make this decision, causing them to turn to look at their big sister, who had stayed silent all this time.

"None of you can leave the sect at this moment."

However, Elder Earthsaber pronounced, causing Isabella and the others to turn and stare at him.

'What the hell… their intimidating auras are no joke…'

Elder Earthsaber blinked, wondering where they had learned to be this overbearing for women who looked completely beautiful, good-natured, and sweet.

"This is not a command. It is the situation we're in as we're surrounded from all sides, after all. Even the teleportation formations are camped by opposing forces at this moment."

He sighed, "Although they won't dare attack, they'll try to harass you into attacking them, essentially putting the blame on you and then capture you, which would make it very difficult for the sect to intervene by then that we would be at an impasse or a disadvantage."

Isabella, Shirley, and the others looked at him, wording out the consequences for them.

"Besides, even if you disciples manage to get out somehow, you'll simply be targeted the most if their intent is to smoke your man out."

Elder Earthsaber explained. He smiled, becoming approving of these women as they seemed like they would sacrifice their lives for him but at the same time, he couldn't see himself just standing and watching them die one by one after going out.

"Ah~ We know about these pitfalls."

Abruptly, a seductively melodious voice resounded across the hall, suddenly causing the people to react strangely as they felt snared by an inexplicable emotion that made them feel disaster was just lurking around.

They turned to look at the woman seated near the back in a safe spot.

With the way she was seated, she seemed to be making herself scarce, but at this moment, her presence alone was somewhat overbearing than the others. Even though it was clear that she was an Immortal Stage Cultivator, the other ladies present gave immense respect to her words, making her status clear to them.

She was the Emperor of Death's first wife, Evelynn Loret. However-

'This is… karma…? No, this is different...'

Great Ancestor Rocksunder wondered where he felt this aura as it felt familiar when his eyes suddenly almost popped out.

'Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid…! She possesses Hex Laws…!'

His gaze shook as he saw her beautiful visage, but more than her beauty, he was shocked by her intrinsical aura.

This woman hadn't appeared at the banquet, but now he knew why.

'This woman… she's hiding it, but I can sense her fluctuations… she is also an Emperor-Tier existence…!'

His heart kept pounding again and again, unable to make sense of the situation. How come there were three Emperor-Tier existences within the Emperor of Death's harem, including the death-attributed wolf, Nadia?

It didn't make any sense whatsoever, making him want to dig the truth out of it, but he knew better than to be curious and lose the chance to recruit the Earth Dragon Queen.

'Could it be… that lad really is capable of using Life Laws to the fullest extent while even having Death Laws…? It was not fake…?'

Great Ancestor Rocksunder's gaze shook as he knew that there were certain resources, if purified, could grant immense benefits for one's bloodline, including allowing the bloodline to experience qualitative growth, but he didn't dare proceed forward as the risks were too big to snoop for information when they were still unwelcome.

But little did he know that he had yet to find out a few other Emperor-Tier existences hidden right amidst them.

"We are well aware of the dangers of going outside."

Evelynn's lips moved behind her purple veil, "Death is not a stranger to us as we have always accompanied and journeyed together with it, and neither is life so far away that we would fail to appreciate it. That's why a small portion of us, only the strongest, will go."

"Nadia, Isabella, Shirley, Tanya, and Lea." She panned her gaze, a determined look appearing in her eyes as she enunciated her words, "Show them who we all are, that no one should dare even try to harm our man, much less target him."

Evelynn's voice was eerily severe and filled with a hint of rage, causing Isabella, Shirley, and the others to feel goosebumps.

She said that they were to venture out and slaughter the forces of the Fire Phoenix Clan. However, they knew what she was talking about, knowing that their big sister was referring to the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder!

It seemed like she was truly incensed as they were, wanting to go teach that woman a frightful lesson for taking advantage of their husband in a moment of weakness caused by the heavens!
