Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2319 Prefectures and Domains

The people of the Thirty-Fourth Fire Phoenix City were dumbfounded upon noticing the badge the Blue Luan Immortal held.

It caused Davis and Evelynn to blink as they looked around, unaware of what that power signified but with the uproar and the bunch of nonsense spewed by the crowd, they understood that it was a major power that owned a domain all to itself.

As for what a domain is, it is the congregation of prefectures.

Currently, they are in the Southwest Fire Phoenix Prefecture, Thirty-Fourth Fire Phoenix City. However, by the scale of the map, Davis and Evelynn knew very well that a single prefecture exceeded the size of the Grand Beginnings Continent!

And yet, The Fire Phoenix Race owned two such prefectures, the West Fire Phoenix Prefecture and the Southwest Fire Phoenix Prefecture!

However, even more, absurd than them was the Aurora Cloud Gate seemed to own an entire domain, something that has more than tens of prefectures!

The mind-boggling thing was they were in the Scarlet Blood Domain, consisting of many wicked paths and magical beast powers. In other words, this was a shared domain, yet the Aurora Cloud Gate owned a domain all to itself. Moreover, the map Davis possessed didn't have the Aurora Cloud Gate's location as the map only covered a few prefectures with the Grand Beginnings Continent as the center, while many locations were left out empty.

It seemed that fake maps were sold a lot, so people tended to rely on trusted or own sources like drawing them themselves, and for Founder Alstreim, who didn't have anyone, he drew them all himself. Considering that many powers would like to keep on to their knowledge, he didn't find this practice surprising.

Nonetheless, to be capable of such authority and dominion, Davis felt that the Aurora Cloud Gate must be really strong or the domain itself must be desolate. But judging by the crowd's reaction, it could very well be seen that they were not a power to be messed with.

"Seems like the City Lord hit a wall..." Evelynn commented as her lips curved.

Davis had shared the map Founder Alstreim Windstorm gave him to the others, so Evelynn also knew what a domain was and what ruling its entirety meant for a power.

"You and I don't want to destroy this city, so I can only invoke the power behind me." The Blue Luan Immortal made a smiling expression on her cold face, "Now, let me see if you dare to kill me."

"…" The City Lord clenched his fist, appearing speechless.

"What? Did a magnificent Luan freeze your tongue?"

"You-!"

"Say another word, and seniors and elders from my power would arrive here through spatial transportation, seeking justice."

The Blue Luan Immortal's smile left her face, replaced with a cold countenance as her undulations grew. Her prowess began to pressure the City Lord to his shock again.

"You and I both know what's good for you, so let this matter come to a rest."

"…"

The City Lord couldn't help but remain silent. A moment later, a smile returned to the Blue Luan Immortal's expression as she cupped her hands.

"I have gotten justice for the people who entrusted their lives to me. Now, we'll take our leave."

The cloud raiment extended and wrapped around the women while she flew away like a free bird, unrestrained and illustrious as the wind.

The City Lord could only stand watching, unable to do anything as she left. He was glaring in her direction the entire time, unknown if he would secretly make a move against her.

But by this time, Davis and Evelynn were no longer here.

They had already taken their leave before the Blue Luan immortal could completely exit the scene, approaching the southern gate, the opposite of where they came from, which is the northern gate.

Since the central plaza was a hot zone, they didn't waste time there, knowing that it would bring them trouble.

"She let him go because she wanted to protect the victims."

"That's right. If the situation spiraled out of control, she would be safe, but the victims, they'll probably meet a worse end."

They talked about it like onlookers do as they walked down the street, admiring the courage the Blue Luan had shown. They also listened to the conversations that were going on around them. Like them, a few others also knew trouble was inbound, so they didn't stay in the central plaza, deciding to leave.

"Sigh, I'm telling you, it hasn't always been like this. That Blue Luan Immortal is only strong because she has eaten hundreds of top resources from the Aurora Cloud Gate. Otherwise, how could she, an Immortal Beast, hold out against an Immortal King Beast? Moreover, she got the backing of the Aurora Cloud Gate, which allowed her to run rampant. Otherwise, would she have had the guts to challenge the Fire Phoenix Race?"

"Heh! What do you know? Rumor has it that the Blue Luan Bird is as strong as the Phoenix. You know the proud and frigid Ice Phoenix Race, right? I heard it was the result of the union between a Fire Phoenix and a Blue Luan."

"What!?"

"Shh!~ Fuck, keep it quiet. Do you want to get us killed?"

"Wasn't that just a silly rumor? Is that really true?"

"Even if it's not true, it's still an enormous disrespect to their noble blood. Don't you know about the Burning Phoenix? They're not acknowledged by the Phoenix Race as a whole since they're a mixed offspring between the Fire Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird. When someone mentioned it, they got slaughtered. When their father mentioned it again, saying that it was the truth, his entire family got massacred. You can't provoke someone without enough power, or else..."

Two men looked at each other as their eyes contained a trace of fear.

Of course, even after they switched to soul transmissions, Davis and Evelynn were still stalking their conversation but shortly after, they started stripping the Blue Luan Immortal in their minds as they perfectly described her wonderful shape and praised her, so they were forced out peeking on the conversation while Evelynn fumed, looking like she was going to kill them as she looked straight at the road.

"Is this what men think all the time?"

"Perhaps." Davis shrugged.

Now she finally knew how vexed he felt while listening to conversations and accidentally stumbling onto bedroom fun while sneaking around, except she hadn't experienced the latter yet, nor would he let her see something like that!

"Were you also moved by her?" Evelynn raised her brows, causing him to chuckle.

"Heroic deeds are indeed moving, but it's not enough. To penetrate my heart requires a strong will because the layers and layers of fortress formed by my powerful beauties are-"

Evelynn rolled her eyes before Davis could even start hoodwinking, causing him to smile more.

Davis and Evelynn both exited the southern gate and headed into the forest nearby, concealing their tracks amidst the giant trees that extended over a few hundred meters tall. From there on, they followed the map to a distant location. Halfway to their destination, they suddenly stopped as they saw a blue-robed woman descend to their location.

"What a coincidence to meet some humans with mortal world auras here."

Davis's lips twitched at the Blue Luan Immortal in front of him. She gracefully landed and turned to look at them but not even for a second did he believe that this was a coincidence.

She had followed them.
