Divine Emperor of Death
chapter-506

After the guard left, Davis informed the group that they didn't need to worry about further investigations that would be sanctioned by the Royal Xuan Empire.

As for the Tripartite Alliance who were secretive in the actions here, he doubted whether if they would personally send someone to him since he was already 'inspected'.

By this time, his parents have also heard about the murder of the Arashi Family Head when they went out to get some fresh air, not fresh air but to breathe in the city's liveliness and view the grand structures but was instead met with the city's gloominess.

Nevertheless, they still didn't know that Davis and Princess Isabella were the culprits other than vaguely guessing that it could be them due to the resemblance of the outline and features of the intruder duo, which has been already circulated around the capital through posters.

As Davis planned, the suspicion of the murder of the Arashi Family Head by the two black-robed silver masked people had been entirely cast on the mysterious organization which killed the elders of the Tripartite Alliance.

In the outer courtyard, Davis relaxed as he reclined on a chair that bent back. He slightly closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm sunlight that was falling on his face and body, making him feel cozy.

If Evelynn were on him, then he felt that it would be even cozier when embracing her while taking in her warmth.

From his side, at the corner pathway, some people were looking at him in confusion.

They were none other than Lucia and Su Hualing. They were looking at Davis wondering why he was delaying finding the required medicinal pill for Daniuis. However, they didn't dare to ask either, afraid that the masked men would abandon them while taking away all the spirit stones which Daniuis had given him.

They could only make a helpless expression from afar to urge him.

Meanwhile, Davis was actively pondering on how to conceal the undulations caused by Daniuis's recovery.

It isn't something that could be hidden due to the eruption of the energy. Although it wasn't a genuine breakthrough since he was returning to his peak state, it was the same as one.

'Buy a King Grade Concealment Formation?' 

He knew that to conceal Seventh Stage undulations, he would have to purchase or create King Grade Concealment Formation but he knew that such a formation wasn't available in this city, nor could he make it since he didn't know much about making formations other than to bypass them.

Maybe the King Grade Concealment Formation would be in the Tripartite Alliance Headquarters, however, if he went there, then he felt that he could probably lose his life if an Eighth Stage Expert were to be secretly present.

He felt that he should always be cautious and not seriously consider the restriction imposed on this territory by the three major powers.

'Then what should I do?'

'Seal the surroundings with my soul force and use Dark Concealing Shroud Art in tandem?'

'No, my Mature Soul Stage Cultivation isn't strong enough to hide the undulations of a Seventh Stage Cultivator. It will turn out useless in the end...'

When Princess Isabella was under his concealment, she had been keeping her undulations in check, hence, there naturally wasn't a problem. However, it wasn't the same for someone who had no control over their undulations.

Davis realized that he was out of options. The only way they could proceed with healing Daniuis is through leaving the city.

However, the city had been sealed by the Tripartite Alliance members, not exactly sealed but the Tripartite Alliance members were in all the gates, giving stringent inspections to people who were both leaving and entering the city.

It was unknown how long they would keep the inspection up but until that time Davis had nothing to do other than to wait!

Of course, he could go out and enter the city with his identity as Alchemist Scythe, however, it is not easy for the others in his group to do so.

As for the skies above the walls of the city, there were Seventh Stage Cultivators secretly keeping an eye on the surroundings. He knew this because he had checked with his Soul Sense.

This placed him in a dilemma.

Wait for some time and escape by flying over the walls once the security and vigilance have relaxed? Or rely on his misdirection to pave his way out?

The latter seemed risky enough to jeopardize the safety of the group while the former possessed less risk.

'I'll choose the former then... However, I'll explain to Grand Uncle that I acquired the medicinal pill but it is not wise to use it now... Hmm, seems feasible, let's do it.'

Davis suddenly stood up and shot his gaze towards Su Hualing and Lucia, giving them the fright of their lives as they flinched. He did not give them a scary face but the mask he wore gave them an ominous feeling. 

He walked towards them and then strode past them while maintaining eye contact before heading towards Daniuis's room.

Su Hualing and Lucia held their breaths as he walked past them. They heaved a sigh of relief once he disappeared from their line of sight.

Only then did they realize that their foreheads were covered with perspiration.

Wiping off their perspirations, they revealed wry smiles to each other, as if lamenting their fates.

Davis didn't head to Daniuis's room after a moment of consideration. He called him to Logan's room and waited for him.

A few minutes later, Daniuis showed up in Logan's room and greeted everyone with a conventional morning greeting as if he wasn't bothered about the matter of his medicine.

The four of them, Davis, Logan, Claire, and Daniuis sat down on a table. They chatted for a few minutes before Davis got to the point, revealing that he and the female 'helper', Isabella were the ones who killed Arashi Family Head.

This shocked the three of them into silence but they did accept it as they managed to guess it beforehand from the posters that were similar to their heights and outlines.

Davis then revealed that the female 'helper' had enmity with the Arashi Family Head, and using that opportunity, he told them about how he managed to plunder the medicinal pills capable of healing Daniuis from the treasury.

"The Arashi Family has also committed a lot of heinous deeds and crimes and is in no way could be considered innocent. The act of plundering from them can be justified but I will not do so."

"Nevertheless, with these two pills, I imagine that you would be at least be able to recover to the Mid-Level Law Dominion Stage, Grand Uncle." 

Davis spoke as he saw the other party's shining eyes gazing at the two pills that were on his palm. 

Daniuis then cast an expectant gaze at Davis, "As I said before, the remaining wealth will belong to you, which means, with your actions, you have effectively profited all that 50,000 Mid-Level Spirit Stones I gave you."

"Hahaha..." Davis laughed for a few seconds before he kept the medicinal pill inside two jade boxes and shoved it into the spatial ring, unbound it from himself, and threw it to Daniuis.

Daniuis caught the spatial ring and looked at Davis who curbed his excitement.

"Grand Uncle, don't be hasty to regain your strength. If you achieve a breakthrough here, we will all get caught without a doubt."

Daniuis froze before he revealed a wry smile, "I forgot about this..."

The other three laughed as they could see that Daniuis could only have his thoughts dwell on recovering his cultivation.

They didn't blame him, after all, when a man's thought was all on recovering his pride and strength, it would be difficult to think about safety, especially when the treasures used to recover were right in his hands.
