Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-472

"We came to buy some wares!" Haus echoed and panned his head over to the sides.

Ophelia nodded her head in acceptance. There were indeed some shady stores set up here. Weapons, Formations, Inscriptions, Amenities, and Pills from dubious sources were placed in the shops.

There were even aphrodisiacs being sold out in the open.

Aphrodisiacs weren't only used for drugging a person but also used by couples who want to experience a deep, fulfilling sexual life. So they weren't banned upon with them being sold out in the open but were only frowned upon.

And with people hiding here and having nothing to do other than cultivating while feeling the threat of danger, human desires naturally swallows them whole.

Ophelia turned to look at Nina before saying in a strict tone, "Don't come back here again. Just leave."

Nina turned a little hesitant. She still wanted to look for her little brother, however, she nodded her head in reply.

"Oh, who is she?" Sasha promptly asked as she had never seen this person before.

She was grateful towards her benefactor but nowadays everyone seemed to be distant as if they were all strangers. As the receptionist who handed out missions, she had seen most of the people who belonged in the headquarters of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

At that time when the Tripartite Alliance invaded, everyone ran away for their lives but only Haus stood up for her, trying to protect her even going so far as to use his own life.

Nevertheless, they were saved by Miss Ophelia's timely appearance which led them to escape to another hideout.

Now she knew which few people to care about and stick her nose towards.

"She's..." Ophelia was just about to reply that she was an acquaintance but...

"Lucas's woman." Nina interrupted Ophelia as she stood to the front, her serious expression revealing that she was not kidding.

Sasha and Haus paused before they went tongue-tied.

Even Ophelia slightly opened her mouth in shock.

'That little brat finally made someone his woman?' She couldn't help but comment inwardly, 'No wonder she gets a free ride with to the Alstreim Family Territory with Leader's Family.'

Initially, she suspected Nina's words but if the latter's words were true... Then the matter of them leaving silently really made sense!

Sasha was about to ask if what Nina said was true but seeing Ophelia's reaction, she could guess that the latter just heard it now.

Taking Nina's word for granted and giving her the benefit of doubt, Sasha spoke in a dissatisfied tone, "Oh, recently, the situation here has been getting worse with the Leader being in seclusion, and his family minding their own business instead of looking at the well-being of the members. However, I don't blame them since I know this is a mercenary group, not a sect or a family."

Nina blinked her eyes in acceptance to her statement. However, she could only keep her mouth shut since she also belonged to the Leader's Family in a sense.

"No wonder you knew about this information, selling your body so that you can escape, truly virtuous!"

Suddenly, a languid voice echoed from the west, grabbing their attention as they all looked towards the west, their brows frowning while their pupils displayed hostility.

A man with a mix of blue and black painted over the sides of his eyes and red on his glabella opened his mouth as he walked over to them.

Along with him were a few men with smiles over their faces, however, their smiles looked a bit forced.

Their back even sweated as if they were facing immense pressure.

Miss Ophelia narrowed her eyes as she recognized the man who led the motley group, "What do you want?"

She coldly spoke as she knew this man was vaguely related to the trouble that has been occurring here in this hideout. Nevertheless, she couldn't confirm it as all sources pointed to other people.

This person was a High-Level Law Manifestation Stage Cultivator! A Sixth Stage Expert who led one of the groups within the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

The man smiled with a lewd expression on his face, "I want you!"

Ophelia's pupils dilated in trepidation. Someone actually wanted to make a move on her despite knowing that a man from the Leader's Family claimed her as his woman?

Combined with the previous information which Nina provided, her body shuddered in alarm!

She instantly grasped Nina's hand and shot towards the Leader's Cave Residence with her Law Seed Stage Cultivation.

Sasha turned stunned, however Haus who was greatly cautious instantly reacted with only a slight delay, catching up to Ophelia in the process.

The man who was about to reveal his evil intentions looked stunned while he looked at them escape with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

However, he only delayed a moment before he laughed out loud, "Smart!"

*Boom!~*

The entire cave reverberated as numerous holes formed above them, the roof cracking before collapsing above them, trapping the people of Cloud Spring Mercenaries alive in this tragic hole.

"Let us eat..."

Daniuis spoke as he saw the others who were in this case residence.

The Su Triplets all slightly bowed their heads while being seated in respect to their husband's words.

Lucia still had her eyes vacant, however, her pale expression had somewhat recovered.

Lucas glanced around, wondering where Nina had gone to. He had gone to her room where she temporarily stayed but she was not there. He had a worried expression on his face, and his worry ruined his appetite.

Nina had told him that she would go out to check and it really seemed that she went out. In any case, he wasn't worried much since he felt that she would soon return.

Daniuis took all their reactions with a shift of his gaze and extended his hand with a fork in his grasp. He pierced a piece of meat and took it to his mouth.

Just before he could eat...

*Boom!~*

Daniuis froze as he instantly stood up, his Law Dominion Stage undulations flaring in intensity as he cast his gaze over to the entrance of the hideout.

His eyes nearly narrowed into thin slits as he shouted, "Escape to the rear entrance and regroup with the masked men!"

"Husband!"

"Father!"

The Three Su's and Lucia shouted in distress!

Lucas looked absolutely horrified! Nina was outside!

Daniuis didn't reply to their echoes. He instantly shot towards the entrance of the hideout while placing his hopes on them.

'Hopefully, my niece's son could save my family...'

"Leave none alive!"

At the same time, along with the command to kill, numerous domains overlapped and extended towards his direction, threatening to suppress him to death!

Daniuis's solemn expression turned crazed!!

*Boom!~*

The underground cave caved in as the water, rubble, and dirt surfaced inside the entire hideout.

The defensive formation was bombarded before it shattered into an explosion, causing the people who were close by to be thrown away by sheer force.

Five silhouettes entered through the destroyed entrance of the hideout and they all turned to look in a single direction, ignoring the people who were screaming and running for their lives.

These people were none other than the five outer members from the Alstreim Family of the Tripartite Alliance.

The other two had entered from the middle and the dead-end of the underground cave, quickly trapping every member of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries within their domains.

"Leave none alive!" Echoed a deep voice that terrified the people of the Cloud Spring Mercenaries. Their expressions finally fell as helplessness encroached their hearts.

*Sizzle~*

*Sizzle~*

A transparent yet red-colored sphere spread, encasing numerous people as it extended. However, those who were inside the barrier shuddered, when suddenly their entire bodies blazed with fire, making them scream and squeal like pigs while being roasted alive!
