Divine Emperor of Death

chapter-2774
*Whoosh!~*
But before the Zyrus Family Patriarch could do anything, the leaders of the powers present among them abruptly appeared before the talismans and shot their hands towards it, essentially sealing the talismans with their overwhelming power.
At the same time, Davis's wrist was captured by a powerful man.
Instantly, many people heaved a sigh of relief, praising that powerful man's swift movements.
But within the list of guests, there was Cerdic, Jairen Darkflame, Farle Lumin, Gerard Bloodcloud, Wyther Blackryst, Erin Goldsun, Shea Goldsun, and Kain Goldvein present. Although they were here, they didn't represent the younger generation this time as there were far more powerful youths present here than them.However, they were stunned to see Mo Tian threatening everyone in front of them, but before that, they were stunned to be unable to recognize him even though his aura was reserved.
"As expected. I am nothing but a heavenly genius under the mercy of some supreme beings like yourself, Starlight Jade Wolf King."
The Starlight Jade Wolf King stared at Mo Tian with scrutiny, his lips curving into a faint smile.
"Would you not do that? Not only are there innocent people here, but there are also precious immortal inheritors here, which will make you the enemy of many powers if you were to use the one in your hand."
Davis also stared at the Starlight Jade Wolf King, whose pressure absolutely was overwhelming that he felt unable to move. However, he couldn't help but smile as almost everyone moved the way he predicted.
Of all of them, only the Starlight Jade Wolf King was brave enough to come into contact with a Divergent like him.
Was this experience from deciding to help him a Divergent like the Emperor of Death?He couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's not like anyone is going to die from these measly concealment talismans."
"..." The Starlight Jade Wolf King appeared confused before taking the talisman out of Davis's hands and checking it, his expression wry.
"We've been had."
"What do you mean, Starlight Jade Wolf King?" The Lumin Family Patriarch asked.
He sat and never moved, protecting his people alone.
"The one in his hand is a defensive talisman that reflects attacks up until the Peak-Level Immortal King Grade and has a chance to defend against Low-Level Immortal Emperor Grade attacks. What about the other talismans?"
"It seems that they're... truly concealment talismans." The Blazing Thunder Sect's Founder giggled, turning to look at Davis with a curious gaze, "It was no wonder they were not found..."
The Starlight Jade Wolf King also couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing the beauty's words, slapping the talisman back on Davis's shoulder and walking away as he laughed with amusement written all over his face.
Instantly, Davis followed the Starlight Jade Wolf King, walking out of the platform, only to be suddenly surrounded by six ghost-like figures, but coincidentally, they also surrounded the Starlight Jade Wolf King, causing the latter to frown.
"Mo Tian, you are under arrest and will be executed for harming our Young Master in the Void Dust Secret Rea-"
"Bullshit! That was Dead End! Go catch that Anarchic Divergent if you're so capable instead of pinning the blame on me!"
"...!"
Davis waved his sleeves and appeared like a victim as he portrayed his innocence, causing many people to be stunned.
"Wait... are you not an Anarchic Divergent?"
The Starlight Jade Wolf King's frown deepened as he turned to look back at Mo Tian.
Davis shook his head, keeping his expression as innocent as possible.
"I personally saw that monster undergo his Annihilative Immortal Tribulation. How could I forget that scene?"
Looking at the ceiling, Davis appeared to reminiscence as his body faintly shook, giving a type of dread for the others to sense illusorily.
"Liar." However, Elder Itaer Zyrus lashed out, "Then where were you all this long? You didn't appear at the exit and disappeared along with Dead End. If you two were not conspiring, how can you be alive?"
"What!?" Davis waved his hand, "That's not true. After becoming an immortal and escaping the Void Dust Secret Realm through an unknown secret path, I was obviously laying low to not get spotted by Dead End or get killed by idiots like you."
"Fuck! Courting death!" Elder Itaer Zyrus fumed as he strode forwards.
Davis appeared alarmed and hid behind the Starlight Jade Wolf King, causing Elder Itaer to come to a stop again, glaring at Mo Tian with vindictiveness in his eyes.
"Restrain yourself to undergo a soul scour. Then we'll know if you're innocent or not."
The Zyrus Family Patriarch put forth a compromise, but to a few others and Davis, it sounded like a death sentence, causing him to take a deep breath and spread his hands.
"Would I have walked here with my life on the line if I didn't want to prove my innocence? If you people didn't mark me as an Anarchic Divergent, then I would've been able to walk freely, but the Zyrus Family publicly declared me an Anarchic Divergent and also framed me to be Klein Zyrus's killer when it was actually Dead End. Seniors, I, Mo Tian, implore you to uphold justice for me. If you do so, I'm willing to consider joining your power."
He turned around, cupping his hands as he bowed toward the Patriarchs of the other powers.
"..."
Instantly, they couldn't help but feel their hearts clench in a chance at obtaining something valuable.
Who was Mo Tian? He was also said to be a monster on the level of Dead End, as they were recorded battling toe to toe.
It must be known that an existence like an Anarchic Divergent was above a heavenly genius at the very least, so they knew that Mo Tian, who was able to go against Dead End, was a top-tier heavenly genius whose prowess could reach over six levels higher or more!
Otherwise, they knew that he couldn't easily beat Gryar Zyrus at this moment and he did that with pure physical prowess alone, which was said to be from the practice of attributeless cultivation method, which they more or less wanted to get their hands on.
No, they wanted to get their hands on it!
But still, there was still deep hesitation in the eyes of the Patriarchs.
"Are you sure that you were not exposed to misfortune like you're experiencing now? You were extremely near the Annihilative Immortal Tribulation belonging to Dead End, weren't you?"
The Lumin Family Patriarch asked with an inquisitive gaze, causing Davis to react rather wishy-washy.
"Uhm... I have been doing my research and am afraid that I may have... received a lot of karmic burden a little."
"..."
The leaders of the other powers couldn't help but blink.
A lot...? A little...? Which was it!?
"But I swear it isn't my fault."
Davis pleaded. His very portrayal was that he was a liability, a large risk to their powers, causing the leaders to hesitate deeply.
"Ahahaha. Young lad, you're in luck since I never wanted to join this alliance from the beginning anyway. I will protect you."
The Starlight Jade Wolf King suddenly turned around and patted Davis's shoulders, appearing to be full of charisma as he smiled.
Meanwhile, Davis was a bit stunned, feeling that it shouldn't be this easy to gain the Starlight Jade Wolf King's consent to protect him.
After all, it was already rumored and practically established that the only reason the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan's Founder, the first immortal inheritor, met with misfortune and was assassinated was practically because of siding with a Divergent like him, the Emperor of Death.
The karmic luck gathered on them was no joke for them to be easily killed before the Candidacy.
So to be choosing an additional Divergent, Davis thoroughly couldn't understand the Starlight Jade Wolf King's thought process, but the other party didn't seem to be a fool either, making him become intrigued yet, at the same time, feel grateful as he was practically a liability in anyone's eyes, even his own pair of eyes.
"Wolf King, I-"
Abruptly, Davis's gaze flickered before he sent a soul transmission.
Hearing it, the Starlight Jade Wolf King's pupils shrunk before he turned around and waved his hand.
Abruptly, eight pillars of azure light appeared, striking the eight individuals who were slightly bent while being seated near the tables, instantly locking them inside!
But at that moment, they noticed something--the features of those people became obscure before being undone, revealing them as assassins who had their weapons concealed underneath their sleeves as they glowed under the azure light.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, trying to comprehend what just happened, while one among them abruptly broke apart the pillar of azure light and shot toward the immortal inheritors of the Starlight Jade Wolf Clan!
"An Immortal Emperor assassin! Stop!"
