Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1102

Immeth Alstreim went stiff when she saw that the Ancestor shot a look at her as if locking her down in one place. Her heart sank as she heard the next question.

"No!!" She hurriedly shook her head as her voice echoed.

Although she didn't see what happened inside the Ancestor's barrier, once it was retrieved, she did indeed witness Elder Zeno Alstreim turning into ashes before an artifact bell appeared from his remains.

And that soul-body on that bell introduced himself as Faragin Yantra.

Truly, she didn't know this character known as Faragin Yantra. She hadn't even heard of him before since she was just around seventy-five years old.

"Is that so...?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim possessed an indifferent expression.

He didn't even take her answer but turned around and looked at Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, "Isn't she Nora Alstreim's subordinate? Wouldn't those who become a Young Master's or Young Mistress's subordinate go through a bloodline test? What was the exact result?"

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim instantly recalled and replied, "Ancestor, her bloodline was confirmed to be of the same origin as of us, possessing no other bloodline characteristic of equal or less amount. It could only mean that both of her parents were from the Alstreim Family."

"I see..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head.

Grand Elder Krax Alstreim was in charge of the coronation of the Young Master and Young Mistress, so he knew that he looked after these things.

However, he directly shot his soul force towards Immeth Alstreim, penetrating through into her soul sea, making her expression twist into one of pain before her entire body trembled.

Immeth Alstreim didn't resist. She sensed a foreign power sweep through her soul sea, searching for abnormalities.

"This is... the Blaze Agony Soul Technique that causes intense burning pain to the soul and is used for punishments that relate to torture?" Ancestor Dian Alstreim instantly found out, "Indeed, Faragin Yantra could kill you from making your soul experience sheer burning pain, but it seems that you have already resolved the soul seal with your own power."

Immeth Alstreim was at a loss for words as she gasped. She was still pale from the forceful inspection of her soul sea, making her secrete cold sweat.

Initially, she wondered what was going on... why the youths would all travel to the No Same Sky Martial Platform before she found Weiss Alstreim was involved in a life and death battle with Edgar Alstreim. She sneakily arrived here before she became ecstatic to know that there was a chance for Weiss Alstreim to die. Nevertheless, she felt that it would be fantastic if both were to die.

But contrary to her expectations, Weiss Alstreim was enslaved, her father was turned into ashes, which made her emotions reach a peak high! She was finally free!

However, realizing that it somehow could be her turn next as she didn't see the soul projection, she was about to flee, but it was already too late by the time she took action.

Now, she was aware that she was nothing more than a helpless woman.

She instantly started to shed tears as she trembled, "It wasn't my fault... I was forced by that bastard to do untold things... I'll confess everything I know about Zeno Alstreim."

*Sob~*

"Please let me have another chance at life... I'm willing to be imprisoned for the wrongs I have committed."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim narrowed his eyes.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a semblance of pity at her apologetic silhouette. Even her own father treated her as something disposable as they saw the Elder Zeno Alstreim in the soul projection say that her purity was still useful. However, they also felt that it might be Faragin Yantra who said that, and she didn't even seem to know such a character existed.

Even they failed to find a semblance of a soul possessing Elder Zeno Alstreim, so unless informed by Zeno Alstreim or Faragin Yantra himself, they felt that Immeth Alstreim wouldn't know either.

Usually, a person who was forcefully or arbitrarily possessed by a foreign entity would show many symptoms such as a pale face, sunken eyes, periodical insanity, and many more in their actions but the fact that Elder Zeno Alstreim didn't show any symptoms despite having Faragin Yantra reside in his soul sea meant that they were co-existing, perhaps with mutual interest.

Still, having another soul in one's soul sea would cause slight deviations in a person's mental stability and other factors, so they also formed another hypothesis. That is, the Illusory Yantra King Bell hid any forms of abnormality that occurred within Elder Zeno Alstreim, effectively making them unaware of the abnormality.

It was a powerful illusory artifact that eventually became the Yantra Family's Legacy Artifact, so there's a large chance that they were truly fooled by its illusory prowess!

Legacy Artifact referred to a specialized artifact that would be passed on from generation to generation in a particular power. The one who holds it would generally be accepted as the head of that power. Sometimes, suppose the Legacy Artifact was to reject a person who is about to become the head. In that case, there are chances that the person who earned the qualification would be forcefully ousted.

A Legacy Artifact held such importance in terms of acceptance!

The Alstreim Family possessed a Legacy Artifact at the Mid-Level Emperor Grade as well, and it belonged to Patriarch Eldric Alstreim at the moment after being recognized in the past at the ceremony to become the Patriarch. It would eventually be passed on to the next generation's Patriarch.

"Hmph! You resolved the soul technique by yourself, so you had plenty of time to confess." Ancestor Dian Alstreim wasn't fooled.

Even without having to use his Heart Intent, he could tell that this woman was acting. If that soul projection was true, then the fact that Immeth Alstreim displayed no remorse when talking about Claire would be true as well.

"Krax, apprehend her. In due time, she would be executed without fail by a particular person." He calmly said before he looked at the other Elders.

"Tighten the defense around the city! No one at the Law Dominion Stage and above should be able to leave. Let all of our cultivators above the Law Dominion Stage appear at the Ancestral Hall within a few days. I'll check every single one of them."

"Yes!!!" The Elders and Grand Elders echoed.

Immeth Alstreim's body fiercely trembled. The words she heard.... she was truly finished! Her expression literally turned aghast, not knowing what to do as her mind ceased to think. There was no way for her to change the Ancestor's decision!

Davis nodded in approval could see that the 'particular person' might be him or his mother.

However, he wondered why he wasn't able to figure out how he could not see another soul's existence in Elder Zeno Alstreim's body. In the past, his Death God Eyes displayed Elder Zeno Alstreim's name and lifespan in the Grand Welcoming Hall, meaning that Elder Zeno Alstreim was still alive, and even just a while ago.

It could only mean that they co-existed with Elder Zeno Alstreim, who controlled the body for the most part.

However, at this point in time, it was almost impossible for a Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage Expert like Faragin Yantra to fool his eyes, so that could only mean that the illusory artifact, Illusory Yantra King Bell, did indeed suppress his eyes or his senses.

So an illusion could suppress his Death God Eyes?

'Truly interesting...' Davis mused.

It made sense as he had to see the target or sense them to know their lifespan and name. Perhaps, Faragin Yantra took many steps, such as deeply concealing himself inside Elder Zeno Alstreim's soul sea while also laying down layers of concealment with his Peak-Level Supreme Stage soul force that impaired other people's senses from discovering him.

Even Ancestor Dian Alstreim was only at the Mid-Level Supreme Soul Stage, so he was unable to discover Faragin Yantra with the combined effect of the Illusory Yantra King Bell.

If Zeno Alstreim actually took part in a battle, straining his body, energy, and soul, then there was a chance that he would've been exposed, but he didn't and always moved behind the scenes. The fact that he didn't defend against Edgar Alstreim's mad attack was perhaps also because of this reason.

Nevertheless, Davis understood that the illusion was unable to deceive his Death God Eyes. After all, with this Death God Eyes, he was concretely able to verify that Elder Zeno Alstreim was still alive before being burned to ashes. It only didn't display what he was unable to find with his senses.

In truth, Faragin Yantra had possessed Elder Zeno Alstreim over a hundred years ago.

Possessing an Elder of the Alstreim Family wasn't an easy task. He took the chance when Elder Zeno Alstreim was out on a mission alone and succeeded. He slowly made Elder Zeno Alstreim accept him, promising immense riches before moving towards tempting him to come out of subservience towards Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim.

It took him many years, but they eventually established a form of mutual understanding. For the subsequent years, he gave Elder Zeno Alstreim a false impression that he was freer than ever, that despite being possessed, it was better than being subservient to Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim.

He used this opportunity to roam the Alstreim Family unobstructedly, even enjoying the woman of the Alstreim Family with Zeno Alstreim's body. He found them extremely appealing to his tastes, and committing these vile actions while using his status, also caused the steadfast Zeno Alstreim's character to slowly twist!

And Immeth Alstreim was one such child born from Faragin Yantra's sexual escapades!
