Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-2713

Elder Aradiel Furiose and Cyclonis Blizzara stood side-by-side, looking at the five Grand Elders of the Fire Phoenix Clan. They were quickly able to sense the cultivations of the other party, two at Level Two Immortal Emperor Stage and three more at Level Three Immortal Emperor Stage.

However, one of them was actually able to cross a level or two, causing Elder Aradiel Furiose to focus on that person as he flicked his sword and placed it back over his shoulder.

"Leave." He uttered a single word with authority, causing the crimson-haired Grand Elder to brim with some vitality as he looked like a middle-aged man to frown.

"What's the Ice Phoenix Clan's Matriarch doing here? Are you plotting against us?"

"Oh my." Cyclonis Blizzara exclaimed in a strong voice, "Grand Elder Seil Zenflame, what kind of accusation is that when I left the Ice Phoenix Clan to enroll as a disciple here?"

"In other words, you have abandoned your duties as the head and betrayed the Ice Phoenix Clan by joining another power?"

"That's right. I'm a sinner."

"..."

Cyclonis Blizzara's voice was clear and audible without any ounce of guilt in it, causing Seil Zenflame's frown to become deeper, unable to understand what this woman was thinking. Not even for a single moment did he underestimate her as she was famous in the Northern Divide, where the heads of many powers had to prove themselves over skirmish, war, and conquest for resources.

Nonetheless, with Patriarch Killian Zenflame's intel, he was more or less able to understand that she was after the Ice Phoenix Clan's fourth and fifth inheritors.

"There's no punishment for Immortal Emperors trespassing our grounds because they're strong enough to wander anywhere."

Elder Aradiel Furiose suddenly spoke before he continued, "However, I will still ask you to leave, if not, retaliate against you for not leaving. At that time, don't blame me for being rude."

"You think one of you could make a difference?"

"Try me."

Elder Aradiel Furiose chuckled as he looked away, but on the other hand, Seil Zenflame's expression was frigid. For some reason, he felt pressured against this foe when he could tell that the other party's cultivation base was only at Level One Immortal Emperor Stage, making no sense to him.

But at this moment, his eyes flickered. A moment later, he opened his mouth.

"We're leaving."

"Elder!" The other four gave an astonished look at him.

However, Seil Zenflame remained composed as he turned around.

"Do as I say."

The other four Grand Elders didn't know what was happening, their brows narrowing in confusion. However, they respected his words and turned around. But then, Seil Zenflame suddenly stopped, turning to look at the palace floating above the massive crater.

"I know you're still alive, so show up to the banquet with whomever you want, whether it be your sect's Gate Master or Elder Aradiel Furiose over here. There, we'll talk about whether you have killed Rai Zenflame righteously or not after we conduct a valid investigation as we interrogate our disciple over here."

After saying a few sentences, Grand Elder Seil Zenflame left along with the other elders as they brought Tegon Zenflame away.

Elder Aradiel Furiose frowned as Tegon Zenflame was still a member of the Aurora Cloud Gate, but seeming him scram as though he didn't want to stay here any longer, Elder Aradiel Furiose didn't say anything.

Davis heard Grand Elder Seil Zenflame's words, but currently, he sat crossed-legged, recovering from his injuries with an Immortal King Grade Healing Pill that he had just bought while browsing the catalog of the Treasury.

He didn't reply but watched them leave through the projection Tanya displayed.

"They retreated so easily...?"

Tanya expressed her doubt, causing Davis to chuckle.

"Those bastards are definitely plotting something at the banquet. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left so easily."

"But they also said for you to come with our elders."

"That..."

Tanya's words stumped Davis. Indeed, if he were to think about it, they shouldn't have left so easily after saying that he could appear with anyone. Did that mean that they were not up to anything strange in the banquet but willing to compromise because he possessed two inheritors now?

"Whatever. Help Yeyin..."

Davis shook his head and threw a red pill towards Tanya, causing it to catch it with a swipe of her hand before she made her way to the bloodied Yeyin, who sat cross-legged but appeared to have difficulty over stabilizing her injuries as she was still bleeding.

She held the pill over to Mistress Yeyin's mouth, causing the latter to look at Tanya with a complicated gaze before she accepted it and swallowed it, instantly feeling her body rejuvenating at a great speed.

"...!" She marveled at this pill, wondering how much it cost for them to obtain.

"Junior brother, are you not going to invite us inside?"

"Explain what had happened. Depending on the circumstances, I will have to arrest you, brat."

Cyclonis Blizzara and Elder Aradiel Furiose's voices echoed from outside, causing Davis to become grumpy. If he didn't let them in, then he would be accused of ingratitude.

"Let them inside."

Davis was already tired and felt sweaty from blood covering all over his body, but he still gestured for Tanya to let them in.

Tanya opened the palace gate leading to the exit, causing them to see Cyclonis Blizzara and Elder Aradiel Furiose standing before the gates. They entered inside together. However, Cyclonis Blizzara quickly headed towards Yeyin as she checked on her injuries with a solemn gaze.

Davis saw this, wondering if Cyclonis Blizzara was worried for her inheritor or her sect's young ones, but then, he abruptly saw Elder Aradiel Furiose looking near the exit.

"Who are you?"

"...!"

Davis's pupils dilated, "Tanya!"

*Whoosh!~*

*Bang!~*

The gates closed shut in an instant. However, Tanya's expression flickered as she figured that she was milliseconds late!

Davis stood up, his expression turning furious.

"Rai Zenflame... that bastard... I should've known..."

Davis could now tell how Rai Zenflame was able to deceive their eyes and poison Mingzhi's food. He had a legit concealing technique that seemed capable of hiding his soul, making Davis understand that he must've used his soul body at that time to poison Mingzhi's food.

There were practically no undulations that he could sense, and even Cyclonis Blizzara seemed shocked. Only Elder Aradiel Furiose was able to find him, speaking volumes about Rai Zenflame's ability to conceal his fire-attributed soul, which was extremely hard as it was of yang form, explosive, and easily perceptible.

This time, Davis felt like he had to swallow this ending to look past it.

However, to think that Rai Zenflame had been waiting for his opportunity to leave instead of attacking them and killing them in one blow, it looks like he had underestimated the other party's thirst for life.

"Looks like you didn't kill Rai Zenflame then." Elder Aradiel Furiose smilingly shook his head as he dropped his hand, "Time for me to leave as the western prefectures are being attacked. Open the gate."

He was unable to stop Rai Zenflame from leaving as the gates closed on him, blocking his energy. By this time, he figured Rai Zenflame would be hundreds and thousands of kilometers ahead as it was truly difficult to catch a soul.

"Wait. Rai Zenflame almost killed us." Tanya echoed with a frigid voice.

She was extremely pissed as she felt like she was stupid not to have used a detection formation beforehand. However, she really didn't think that Rai Zenflame would be alive after she used the killing formation to end his life. She didn't think it was possible for him to conceal himself that quickly.

"Leave it, Tanya." However, Davis suddenly interrupted, "We don't have enough evidence to prove him guilty as everything is on Tegon Zenflame's head. Besides..."

"This is a perfect opportunity for Mingzhi to get revenge."

He narrowed his eyes, smiling a bit as he imagined the possibility of torturing him more before presenting him to Mingzhi on a silver plate.

"Ahahaa! I'm free! I have successfully escaped!!! Evil Divergent!!! I swear I'll make your life a living hell day as I fucking rape all of your wives! Ahahahaha!"

A vengeful ghost sped through the vast horizon as his voice echoed across the area, making people shocked about where it came from. The words uttered made no sense to them. How could someone call someone evil yet claim to rape their wives? What kind of hatred existed between them?

They were dumbfounded.

"Ugh!!"

But at this moment, the ghost suddenly came to a forceful stop as a palm abruptly caught his head from nowhere, causing his gaze to shudder, unable to move or speak even though he wanted to so badly, as he became terrified before losing consciousness in an instant.
