Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-1103

Faragin Yantra's sexual escapades in the Alstreim Family using Elder Zeno Alstreim's body was the reason for Immeth Alstreim's birth and many others. That is why they both didn't have any form of affection towards Immeth Alstreim but sought to use her for all kinds of things, such as keeping tabs on Nora Alstreim or using her for other sabotage purposes!

Initially, he was surprised that one of his many children born from illegal affairs became the Young Mistress's subordinate through fine talent. Hence, after the bloodline test, he trapped Immeth Alstreim and revealed that he was her father, and in doing so, easily invaded her soul sea during her emotional weakness and placed a soul seal, effectively making her his pawn.

Therefore, the innocent Immeth Alstreim became twisted from there on, lamenting her fate and hated everyone who was better than her, including her cruel father.

Before Faragin Yantra died, he successfully caused the seal he placed on her soul with the help of Zeno Alstreim to activate, which would cause her to die from immense pain applied to her soul essence. The extreme burning pain was why Immeth Alstreim was extremely afraid and obedient towards Elder Zeno Alstreim.

However, he didn't know that Immeth Alstreim had later sneakily succeeded in undoing the seal placed on her soul as she used a particular magical beast's ability to weaken the soul seal. It had made her delirious for some time, but it didn't cause her major damage other than harming a bit of her soul.

She had untied the lace but didn't remove the footwear, so both Faragin Yantra and Elder Zeno Alstreim remained in the dark about the soul seal they placed, not impacting Immeth Alstreim anymore.

Immeth Alstreim had tried to use this to her advantage so that she could gain victory in the end by becoming Alchemist Davis's woman and having him kill her cruel father for her.

Nevertheless, nothing goes as planned. It was the same for Faragin Yantra.

Hence, the words that he declared, that he had a few Elders enslaved or soul seal'ed was a lie, a bluff for him to escape successfully. After all, it took him so much time to convince a mere Zeno Alstreim. How could he do the same for other Elders? Not to mention that it was dangerous as his infiltration would be easily seen through.

Unfortunately, he never expected this passive and protective Ancestor to ignore his threat and kill him instantly. On top of that, he died without knowing if Immeth Alstreim had died from his activation of the soul seal.

"Everyone," Ancestor Dian Alstreim spoke, "Prepare for the invasion of the Yantra Family, perhaps the entire Flowing Mist Sect. For the upcoming year, never let your guard down for a moment, and make sure to be on high alert!"

"Yes!" The Elders and Grand Elders all simultaneously echoed and bowed.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim nodded his head and was about to tell them to leave, but he recalled that they have yet to decide on Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's punishment.

He cast a glance at Davis and saw him possess an expectant expression on his face. He could tell that if he did not provide a satisfactory explanation to Davis, it was obvious that Davis would leave with the Dragon Queen. He did not want that to happen but wanted him to stay, leading the Alstreim Family to glory.

However, he felt reluctant to punish these two Grand Elders at this particular point in time. It was unknown if the Yantra Family or the entire Flowing Mist Sect would retaliate for this incident, so he wanted to keep them in order to fend them off. They were powerful people, especially Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim, who was just a step away from the Law Rune Stage out of all the Grand Elders.

Despite scheming against other people, they were loyal to the Alstreim Family. So he remained hesitant on what to do, and he cannot punish them because of his oath. Still, if he did punish them by arbitrarily breaking the oath, Grand Elder Elise Alstreim's son, Patriarch Eldric Alstreim, might start a mutiny out of hatred, which in turn might jeopardize the internal stability of the family.

It just wasn't worth it!

To be honest, despite being the Ancestor, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, with the 'rock' being the hard-headed Davis and the 'hard place' being the people with whom he was familiar!

'I'm too soft and considerate...' He berated himself.

If it were any other Ancestors, he mused that they would've used iron-handed methods long ago. In fact, he wanted to use iron-handed methods by now as he had never felt so stumped but was worried that something would go wrong. One can never be too cautious.

His experience warned him so!

Still... If this gets delayed, he knew that he might not get another opportunity. Moreover, the Dragon Queen might interfere, which he did not want. If the Dragon Queen interferes, perhaps he would be forced to give a verdict, and at that point, Davis might not even look at him since the matter was concluded with the help of the Dragon Queen.

He definitely cannot allow that to happen!

"Everyone other than the related parties shall leave!" He promptly gave a command.

The entire sky moved. No, it was the people who flew away from the No Same Sky Martial Platform, and in a few seconds, for the first time in decades, it seemed deserted. No one remained disobedient towards the words of the Ancestor.

They didn't even ask why!

All who remained were Grand Elder Krax Alstreim, Immeth Alstreim, who was apprehended by a flaming rope that seemed to not harm her.

Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim became a bit stiff as he knew that the time of judgment has come, but he became confused as to why Ancestor sent all of them away. Wasn't it more advantageous to Edgar Alstreim to obtain justice if all other Elders and Grand Elders were present?

What was with this strange situation?

On the other hand, Edgar Alstreim misunderstood that he was not going to obtain justice since Ancestor Dian Alstreim sent all of them away. He took a deep breath and calmly asked.

"Ancestor, am I the Young Master now since I won the life and death battle against Weiss Alstreim?"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim shot a look at Edgar Alstreim and calmly stated, "Of course you are, but I muse that you would willingly give it to someone else in a short period of time."

Edgar Alstreim's expression changed, misunderstanding it again that he was going to be forced into abdicating the Young Master status. He stayed silent as if contemplating.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim waved his hand, and his soul force gathered around, surrounding them all into a flaming sphere, except this time, it served its purpose to conceal rather than to seal.

Davis looked around and saw that his concealment was subpar in his book. It definitely couldn't compare to his own technique, even without using Fallen Heaven's death-like energy. He could generate his own death-like energy as he had comprehended a bit in the past.

"Now then..." Ancestor Dian Alstreim indifferently spoke, "If anyone here wants to say something, plead or demand, do it here."

"I-"

"You don't have the qualifications to even utter a word in front of me, Immeth Alstreim. Your execution will proceed as intended." Ancestor Dian Alstreim promptly interrupted her before he cast a look at Davis and his family.

While Immeth Alstreim went ashen and shot a look at Davis for help, he smiled a bit. He didn't cast a glance at her, but Ancestor Dian Alstreim's message was clear.

Perhaps, it was indeed time.

But before that...

"Let me see... Weiss Alstreim has yet to die." Davis cast his glance towards his grandfather, "Edgar Alstreim, do you take care of the last rights?"

Edgar Alstreim looked at the dull Weiss Alstreim before casting a look at Elder Havle Alstreim, wanting to garner his opinion since he thought he had lost the overall battle. He had become the Young Master, but he didn't want to lose his family again foolishly.

However, Elder Havle Alstreim still gestured him to go ahead, which made his heart warm. Indeed, he was blessed with a wealthy and considerate father-in-law, a trustworthy wife, and a healthy daughter.

"I'll politely decline..." Edgar Alstreim clasped his hands and bowed towards Alchemist Davis.

He didn't want to lose his new family.

Weiss Alstreim was practically dead, so leaving this walking corpse as it is wouldn't make any difference.

"Is that so...?" Davis became taken aback.

Not going to kill?

'Mhm...'

He turned to look at Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's side and felt that the impact would be quite lacking if a killing blow weren't done right in front of their faces. He didn't want to aggravate them, but he keenly wanted them to suffer for the wrongs they committed against his family. His eyes lit up as he thought of something.

Turning his head around to look at Weiss Alstreim, he questioned, "Weiss Alstreim, what do you think of the people who collectively exiled you? Start from the person you think who betrayed you the most."

"Grandma Elise betrayed me the most... She exiled me just because I didn't want to give up the Young Master's status to... lighten her sentence for bringing a calamity... like the Aqua Flood Dragon to my Alstreim Family."

"She was incredibly egotistical... and exiled me because I didn't help her. She should be the one to be executed... because she was the person who brought the Aqua Flood Dragon, not me..."

"But for some reason... Ancestor Dian Alstreim did not punish and left the matter as it is... making me reluctant..."

"I vowed that when I become the Patriarch... I would make Grandma Elise admit her wrongs... before making her into my woman..."

"She would bear me countless children... and I'll give her the time to look after them... so she can repent for not looking after me..."

"..." There was a moment of silence before everyone turned to look at the so-called Grandma Elise and saw that her eyes became dim while her frail body intensely shuddered!
