Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3242 Concerning Situation

The Davis Family was on high alert at this moment. The entire mansion was alarmed by the strange undulations rocking the mansion. For a moment, they wondered if they were invaded, but eventually, their panic subsided as Evelynn relayed the gist of the events to them.

However, the situation was still tense, garnering every single member's attention.

Over half of the family stood behind the door of a chamber where they could occasionally hear the screams of a maiden. It was filled with hate and rage, making their expressions reel with sorrow.

Some time later, Tanya also returned to the floating island and entered the mansion. She was missioning in the nearby region, but after hearing the news from her sisters, she returned as fast as she could.

"What's going on?"

She panned her gaze at Natalya, Isabella, Shirley, Zestria, Fiora, and Mingzhi as they all held worried or solemn expressions, letting her know that the situation still hadn't calmed as she initially thought it would. Reading the room, she no longer pressed for answers but asked where the children were.

"The kids are with Niera," Mingzhi responded, further panning her gaze at them.

"Someone go accompany the kids."

"Shirley, I'll leave it to you here."

Isabella nodded at Shirley, who returned a nod.

She knew that Shirley was the most worried about Clara right now, so she took it upon herself to safeguard the children along with Niera in case anything were to happen. After she left, a few minutes later, Evelynn, Ellia, and Logan walked out.

Ellia carried Tia on her back. The latter's eyes seemed to be swollen as she seemed to have cried herself out, but everyone looked at Evelynn, waiting for her answer.

"For now, we have sealed Clara's cultivation and locked her within the chamber because… it seems that she's not returning to her natural self…"

Evelynn's tone was somber, but she didn't avert her gaze, "This blunder, I will take responsibility."

Shirley and the others could see Evelynn tremble ever so lightly.

"It's not your fault as I figure that something else went on…" Ellia addressed the issue from the side, giving Tia to Yotan as she began to inform her of some details.

Evelynn pursed her lips, but she shook her head, still thinking that she was not thorough in the treatment as it was her first time enacting it on a live soul.

"Big sister, don't be so emotional. It's not good for the babies." Shirley consoled as she walked forward and held Evelynn's hand, "Calm yourself first and explain to us what happened."

"That's right. Calm yourself first." Natalya also spoke, her expression rather solemn than goofy.

Evelynn exhaled a bit as she felt a bit moved. However, the fact that they were not blaming her only made her feel more guilty. Eventually, after taking some rest, she eventually explained the course of events, describing how she used Decay Laws to siphon life out from Clara's soul and then mended the dried-up soul with Hex Laws, successfully weakening the physique and sealing foreign influences by stitching her with Hex Laws.

She made it clear that all looked good until both Clara and Tia started screaming after the treatment was successful. Hearing the subsequent events made the ladies chilled as they felt a sense of dread revel in their souls, as it was possible that Tia could be somehow possessed.

They didn't know much about a Mystic Diviner but always assumed that if their senses were open to peer through the secrets of the heavens, then it would also leave their souls vulnerable. For the same reason, Mystic Diviner Hailac was also once possessed by Accursed Warlock Fraser Herrion. Although Mystic Diviner Hailac was free now, it still didn't change the fact that Mystic Diviners were still vulnerable to soul attacks, not to mention the mysteries of the universe.

Nonetheless, it was no wonder Tia was taken away by Yotan and Ellia. If anything, they might need more time to inspect her condition and then allow her into the mansion because of the possibility of possession.

"We have also put Clara to sleep by force-feeding her sleeping pills. Hopefully, the influence is no longer affecting her by the time she wakes up."

"She will definitely reclaim her sanity."

Evelynn spoke, causing Shirley and the others to nod heavily. However, their expressions were filled with worry as they knew this kind of influence only lasted for the duration of a tribulation undergone by Divergents, so for Clara to still stay under another influence, would it truly disappear if some time were to pass?

They didn't know but sure hoped that it would be the case.

Their worry about Clara's condition was genuine, but the trepidation they felt for Evelynn was also high as she was still pregnant. If Davis blamed her for this matter, they were afraid that this would badly affect her.

"Daughter-in-laws, don't worry. No harm will befall you because of my daughter's strange condition, so leave the matter of keeping an eye on her to me. Moreover, as I was the one who gave permission to start this treatment, naturally, I will deal with my son."

Logan had his back against the door, his arms folded as he spoke. However, he didn't raise his head, appearing to be in low spirits.

"…"

Evelynn and the others felt moved.

They still remembered how he went on all fours to beg them that he needed to become stronger and would do anything in his power to protect his family, including all, but in the end, he had to protect them from his own daughter.

This wasn't why he pleaded that he no longer wanted to be weak, asking for resources and contribution points to aid his cultivation in a short amount of time. Naturally, they quickly lifted him up from kneeling to them and aided him with heavenly resources and contribution points obtained from the highest levels of the Aurora Cloud Gate's Treasury, letting him get the best time chamber present in the Aurora Cloud Gate with Stella Voidfield's mother's help.

They even advised him against such a rapid increase in cultivation as it could be harmful to his future, but he held his position that he only needed to be strong now in order to protect them, at least until his son returned. If not for this incident, he might be on his way to becoming an Immortal Emperor, but it was now delayed because Clara was a threat to them at the moment.

Either way, they almost teared up, thinking it was too cruel for him as nothing went to his benefit ever since he came here. Yet, this was the same fate their man also faced, never having time to himself and, perhaps, even having a hard time in the secret realm.

"I hope husband and our sisters are fine…"

Natalya lightly uttered, and it resonated amongst the ladies, wishing that he would return back soon with them all.
