Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-3841

"…"

Davis raised his hand and kept it on his chin.

If it weren't for their destination being the Azure Tree Lower Realm already, he would have told Evelynn to temporarily forget about the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan. They couldn't leave in a different direction after all.

"Fahzi."

Davis called out, causing the little boy to shudder as he raised his head.

As young as he was, even he knew whom he was facing.

It was the infamous Divine Emperor of Death who the entire cultivation world was looking to kill in unison. He couldn't understand how such a person could still be roaming around when he also had immense experience fleeing every time they were about to be caught and knew this wasn't easy.

A hint of respect swelled in his heart, but the fear was soaring as he didn't know what this so-called evil person had in mind for him.

"If things went well, you would become the ruler of the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan, so start living your life that way. At that time, you will have to be strong enough to bear the burden of protecting your clan. I don't want her to be needlessly fatigued over something she doesn't need to worry about."

"…" Fahzi blinked.

He still hadn't caught up to the fact that he was a prince-

"Do you understand?"

"Yes…!"

He shrieked, feeling like he was going to fall into the depths of the underworld if he didn't answer in a positive way.

"Good."

Davis satisfactorily nodded, "As for you…"

His gaze fell on Kalissa as he scanned her.

Kalissa hid her bosoms with her hands as she lowered her gaze.

"You're not hiding anything else, right?"

"I am not."

Kalissa shook her head, answering nervously.

Davis pursed his lips. It was such a broad question, but he didn't feel she hid anything else that she particularly wanted to keep away from them.

He touched Evelynn's shoulder and informed her that their fates were in her hands.

She was responsible for them.

Evelynn nodded lightly.

She decided to keep their cultivations sealed since she was still not fully trusting of them. Although they may have sworn their fealty to her, they ultimately belonged to the remnant faction of the Three-Eyed Chromatic Hex Arachnid Clan. Even if they didn't have thoughts of betrayal but acted in haste because an opportunity was presented to them, that would not be good.

She would have no choice but to put them down by then.

Evelynn decided to keep them sealed for their sake and also confiscate their spatial rings.

"…!"

But at this moment, Davis looked shocked.

Evelynn blinked, wondering if he had realized something untoward of Kalissa and Fahzi. She hoped not, but his answer surprised her.

"Seriously, I wish we stayed there in the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm. The way Shirley described how those Autarchs from the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm attacked the Infernal Blaze Retribution Cloud with the combination of light energy and darkness energy, it is possible their cultivation method could be compatible with my soul physique."

Mingzhi complained.

"…"

Davis didn't know what to say.

He naturally knew that Mingzhi would need their cultivation method, as that was also what he thought when he saw their attacks. However, he couldn't go steal it from them, could he?

That would be tantamount to committing suicide.

If he had decided to steal, he would've stolen the core of the Infernal Blaze Retribution Cloud then.

Besides, none of them possessed a cultivation manual that would allow them to enter the Empyrean Stage. They could only go to the necessary place of origin to look for a way to enter the Empyrean Stage. Otherwise, they could only remain in the Immortal Emperor Stage.

On that point, he had to praise someone in his harem, as she was improving even without the genuine Immortal Emperor cultivation method.

Recalling her face, Davis couldn't help but smile, but Mingzhi's nagging woke him up to reality.

"Ugh… Are you even listening?"

"I've prepared a few ways to make the execution scatter, but I need some more information. If there's anything else I can use, like taking advantage of the environment or dropping a severe case of plague on them, anything works~"

"…"

Davis blinked.

He didn't listen, but he didn't necessarily need anything, as he had already decided what to do. Instead, he waved his hand.

"Just because we're in a private room doesn't mean you have to speak so loudly. Be more relaxed and enjoy the food."

Davis ate some meat that was at Immortal Emperor Grade. Even as an avatar whose flesh was made up of soul force, it was so good, all the more appetizing and good for his body since he couldn't absorb heaven and earth energy as he pleased.

To be able to absorb heaven and earth energy, he needed to spend his own soul force, and that was counterintuitive.

In fact, he sensed that in the true immortal world, the heaven and earth energy was so uneven that people ate more and slept more in order to maintain their energy levels or starve. This was more in tune with nature, while in the other universe, there was the World Master's manipulation, which made it so that most places had an even amount of heaven and earth energy.

"…"

Nonetheless, his comment made Yilla and Shirley look the other way, almost giggling.

Mingzhi trembled before she brought her hands down on the table. "You're crazy. Where did all that worry go? What kind of freaking plan have you thought of to be so uncaring? Or have you given up? But that is so unlike you…!"

She yelled out.

She was more scared that he wasn't paying attention because that meant he had either prepared something that would result in their total victory or total failure. For total victory, she could only imagine that he might use that trump card he occasionally advertised like he was a main character but never used, so she didn't know if he was even bluffing or not.

As for total failure, she couldn't let something like that happen. It was inconceivable to her that he could give up.

"Really? Can't I just give up?"

Davis tore a piece of the leg piece with his canine teeth and ate the greasy meat deliciously.

"You could…" Mingzhi blinked, "You could, and we all want you to be safe, but we also know that it would harm you internally. You couldn't wait to go to their place, can you?"

"What's the use? We can't make it."

Davis shrugged, "We're too far away, and there's too much at risk."

"…"

Mingzhi narrowed her brows, not believing him that he had given up. There was no way he would have dual cultivation with Tanya if he hadn't come up with a solution. As far as she knew, he was never the type to seek pity-intimacy since he was too prideful to begin with.

Although he rarely showed his pride, she knew how arrogant he was deep down.

Still, she wasn't concerned about that, as which powerful man wasn't?

When leaving the flying ship, she also asked Tanya what his mood was like and learned it was not depressive at the very least. In fact, his mood appeared to be strangely bright for someone who was acting like he had given up.

All this pointed to that he was going to take action, or at least do it secretly, which she couldn't allow as it was extremely dangerous.

"Mingzhi, I appreciate you and the others working hard to come up with a few plans, but they are unneeded. Just sit back and watch. As for revenge, it could always be taken later. Isn't it best served cold?"

Davis advised and asked with a chuckle.

"…"

Mingzhi just stared at him, her eyes full of scrutiny.

"Shirley, are you just going to watch?"

"…!"

Shirley was just about to take a bite, but she shuddered upon Mingzhi pulling her into the conversation.

"What can I say?" She wryly smiled, "He won't reveal his true thoughts, and talking about his friends' execution isn't going to help if he really has just given up. Just let him be… we can't change everything or save everyone."

"Mhm? Then is it okay if we just abandon all those plans we worked on?"

"Shh… we'll move secretly if he also moves secretly." Shirley sent a physical soul transmission.

It made Mingzhi's lips curl.

However, Davis opened his mouth at this moment.

"If you two or the others make any stupid moves to save my friends but instead endanger the family, I will not tolerate it and personally hate you."

"You-!"

Mingzhi stood up, almost destroying the table as she brought her hands down.

Shirley's expression also wilted.

"Now, now. Our love has said not to interfere. Be obedient and do as he says." Yilla intervened, her tone diplomatic.

"Hmph~"

Mingzhi sat down, looking away in frustration. Her brows narrowed, and she looked like she was going to cry as her eyes turned moist. She then stood up and walked out of the room.

"Mingzhi…"

Shirley called out. She then looked at Davis, but he didn't seem responsive, still eating, causing her to follow Mingzhi out. This left Yilla with Davis, but she didn't know what to say as she had never seen something like this before.
