Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3038

Davis became a bit astonished as he saw Myria and Bing Luli appear.

However, his astonishment wasn't particularly reserved for them as he saw Niel Bladeheart, Garoe Rynn also appear, not to mention Xerna Zenflame, and even Vereina and Zora Luan walk over as though they had become truly powerful to be able to participate in this expedition.

He couldn't sense Katherine with Vereina, but he knew she was still alive. Could it be that she was left back at home?

But the surprise didn't stop as he went speechless when he saw Cyclonis Blizzara among them.

For heaven's sake, she was previously the Ice Phoenix Clan's Matriarch!

He only didn't know four of them in the lineup, and all of them were men, not that he cared, but the other faces were well known to him.

Did the Aurora Cloud Gate not have other Immortal King true disciples?

'Oh… right…'

After the astonishment, Davis remembered that more than ninety percent of Aurora Cloud Gate's disciples were outsiders who came to train and polish their cultivations or physiques like Rea Tyriel.

Most of them would be recalled to their original powers by now. If those disciples hadn't left, then it would most likely mean that they were willing to swear loyalty to the Aurora Cloud Gate. Since that was the case, then the rankings would've undergone a huge change, although he felt that there were still some weeks for it to reset.

"Xerna, you disobedient daughter. Come back here!"

Suddenly, a furious voice echoed out as everyone turned to look toward Patriarch Killian Zenflame.

Xerna Zenflame also turned to look toward him. Her stunningly beautiful eyes blinked before they narrowed at him.

"I heard you were captured, but I see you are not dead yet. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of Death is more magnanimous than I thought."

"You-!"

"Besides, the Fire Phoenix Clan isn't in the Phoenix Alliance anymore. You're all a disgrace, allowing me to understand that I made the right decision by staying in the Aurora Cloud Gate."

Xerna Zenflame scoffed as she turned to look away while Patriarch Killian Zenflame fumed, appearing stumped beyond compare in anger.

Davis raised his brows as he saw her publicly humiliate her father. He knew she had hatred toward Patriarch Killian Zenflame but thought it would end with a father-daughter fight that would not amount to much, but he saw her remain steadfast in her hatred.

However, he lightly smiled over her face appearing to be veiled.

Wasn't revealing her face to the public a sign of her rebellious nature? Did something change for her to be taking her life seriously?

Nonetheless, he walked over to them with Tina and Bylai.

Simultaneously, he saw Cyclonis Blizzara leave towards the Ice Phoenix Clan's entourage. No one said anything, not even Elder Aradiel Furiose, causing Davis to return his gaze back to his women.

"Lea, Dalila, and Sophie. Well done."

He first went towards his women and proudly nodded at them before learning that there were indeed tests for them to clear before they were chosen. He also heard that the two among the four men were truly powerful and also knowledgeable in Alchemy and Forging, causing him to be a bit surprised.

There were two people who could match Dalila in terms of alchemy knowledge and Sophie in forging but also powerful? He wanted to know more but turned to look at his friend.

"Niel Bladeheart, it's been a short time, but I see you have already made it up to Late Immortal King Stage."

Niel Bladeheart cupped his hands, "Aye, it's nothing compared to what you went through that I'm surprised you're still alive, even after the calamity that occurred just before we showed up."

"Ah, it's nothing. Just some crazy bastards out to do crazy things."

Davis laughed before he turned to look at Garoe Rynn and nodded while the latter also returned the gesture with immense respect.

This person was none other than the true disciple who was ranked second in the True Disciple Immortal Rankings, but now, he could sense he was also at Late Immortal King Stage. Niel Bladeheart and Garoe Rynn's current ranking were unknown, but he could sense they were truly powerful.

Perhaps, they had already formed some kind of rivalry, as he could sense sparks going off between these two sword cultivators even though they weren't looking at each other.

Davis then turned to look at Vereina, but after a pause, ignored her and turned to look at Myria.

"Hey! Be surprised!"

Vereina came closer and pointed at him with wide eyes, causing him to laugh inwardly.

He was indeed surprised as he didn't expect her to grow so fast, but knowing what kind of soul physique she possessed, he really didn't find her growth strange. She was a Divergent whose physique could refine souls like he could use Fallen Heaven. Although he was interested in how she went about it, he knew she had Katherine's help.

"Then? Do you have it in your heart to forgive me?"

Vereina's expression receded as she heard his question. She narrowed her black eyes at him before moving back a little. Suddenly, she moved, raising her leg as she landed a kick on his calf.

"…!?"

The thousands of gazes that were concentrated on them turned shocked.

A female disciple from the Aurora Cloud Gate's lineup… dared to kick the Emperor of Death…?

"With this, I forgive you."

Vereina pouted before she turned to look away.

Davis kept smiling. Although he had done nothing harmful to this woman but even aided her with resources, the truth remained that he had kidnapped and locked up this woman not once but two times that he was rather impressed with her ability to stay patient and allied with him.

Besides, he felt like she didn't even kick with her full power, or she did, making him realize that her body and essence cultivation were still at Level One Immortal King Stage. She rushed her soul cultivation to be on par with the others around her.

'Oh no… I drew attention to myself… but this man…'

Vereina inwardly clenched her teeth. She didn't think she would make a move like that in public as she wanted to be low-key, but with Davis asking a question like that, she was no longer able to suppress her frustrations that she kicked him without thinking while moving away.

She instantly turned around to look at him with a cautious gaze.

"We're even now..."

"That would be the case."

Davis nodded, leaving Vereina feeling a bit doubtful.

'He isn't going to return the kick while I'm not looking, right?'

She wondered but saw him look away. Instantly, his eyes narrowed as he saw that Myria wasn't here anymore.

Turning around to look, his pupils dilated as he saw Myria standing before Fairy Thunderblaze.

"Do you want to team up with me?"

"Oh?"

"…"

Fairy Thunderblaze looked at Myria with surprise, not expecting to be invited, while Davis wondered if Myria was doing this on purpose to make him hate her.
