Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2375 Getting Ahead

"Then who's the person who sold you or your family the information that your variant physique can be unlocked by devouring virgin women with karmic virtue with that vile technique?"

"That… I don't know. Only father knows… I promise… but please don't harm him..."

Haijin Minn pleaded as he kept bowing his head while being seated in a lotus position. He didn't know what kind of person this masked man was or which group he belonged to, but to be able to enter this location where his father was keeping watch, he knew that the other party wasn't ordinary.

On the other hand, Davis wanted to know who exactly was capable of possessing such knowledge. After all, to be capable of knowing a method to unlock a particular variant of Pure Yang Body Physique, that person should be quite the erudite person or a scam artist.

Nonetheless, he wasn't particularly bothered by it.

"Originally, I came to kill you on the behest of someone else I don't even know, but since you're in the gray zone and seemed to be aware of your wrongs better than an adult would, I'll let you go. You show some promise..."

"Senior, you are an understanding and magnani-"

"Not so fast."

Haijin Minn bowed again when Davis interrupted.

"You think I will let you go without you paying a steep price?"

"Senior…?" Haijin Minn almost faltered.

"As I said, the world isn't going to cuddle you, Haijin Minn." Davis spoke in a solemn, unforgiving voice, "Pay up fifty million immortal crystals within seven days. You're the heir of a prominent Early Immortal King Grade power, so I know you can. Otherwise, you and your women's lives are no longer yours."

Once he dropped these words, Davis disappeared, causing Haijin Minn's scalp to turn numb.

Haijin Minn thought that his senior could be a prominent bounty hunter, but looking at him disappear at such a close range, he began thinking what the chances that this mysterious, money-grubbing senior could be an assassin were.

Still, to gather fifty million immortal crystals within seven days, who should he go beg?

Haijin Minn didn't know whether to laugh or cry as that was an amount equivalent to the birth of nine or ten trash Level Nine Immortals. Even his power would have to cut a chunk of their assets to be able to retrieve that many immortal crystals, and yet, it just so happens that his power already spent millions to get him many women as cultivation cauldrons.

How could he go beg his father for more? Would he even receive it?

Haijin Minn's expression became dull as his future looked rather bleak for him.

Just as his thoughts descended into depression, Chloe entered, causing his eyes to somewhat brighten.

On the other hand, Davis was already outside, seeing that the talks had already come to an end. Furthermore, they were exchanging something.

"Although this endeavor was a failure, there are thirty million immortal crystals in this Immortal Grade Spatial Ring as promised. Adding to the advance payment, our secretive deal that costs our Minn Family sixty million immortal crystals is hereby closed."

"Haha! The Dark Sky Triad looks forward to working with the Minn Family once again in the future."

"Sure."

Gregor laughed while Haijin Minn's father remained cold. Their words indicated friendliness, but the atmosphere was anything but friendly.

Nonetheless, Davis's eyes were sparkling underneath the moonlit night as he locked on to that spatial ring.

He left, looking to set up a suitable place to set up an ambush, while the Dark Sky Triad and Minn Family people also dispersed after getting Haijin Minn and Chloe. As for the evidence that would be in the mansion, everything was erased, making it look abandoned.

Davis didn't know of these matters, but he waited for the triplets to appear at a specific street near an inn. It was different than the inn that the little brothers used.

Although the triplets were just at Peak-Level Ninth Stage in all three of their cultivations, he knew that they were protected by a Level Nine Immortal, making it intensely challenging for him to kill them. However, if he had any chance, it would be now where their Level Nine Immortal protector would be busy watching the movements of the Minn Family.

Or…

'The moment they're undergoing their immortal tribulation...'

Davis felt a bit of excitement throbbing in his heart. Logically speaking, there was no way he could kill them unless he used Nadia to kill or impede the Level Nine Immortal protector, but he was also here to do the impossible and gain experience from it.

Moreover, it was possible that one of these three brothers or all three of them could possess an immortal soul protecting them.

In that case, Davis felt that it would be better for him to wait until they undergo their heavenly tribulation as there was no way an immortal soul would dare to appear even if the one being protected was in danger, but Davis couldn't wait that long, now knowing when these triplets would try to breakthrough.

Falling into a dilemma, he carefully and patiently waited.

As for Haijin Minn, Davis wasn't worried that he would spill the beans. After all, the life of the women he tried to protect by sabotaging himself was at stake. Davis knew that Haijin Minn wouldn't do anything stupid as he seemed to be a smart kid.

Even if Haijin Minn did spill the beans, Davis had no qualms about it since he was planning to let that brat go anyway. He had decided to abandon the mission to assassinate Haijin Minn, willing to pay the fine.

After all, he got what he needed, and if he managed to obtain fifty million immortal crystals in compensation later, then that was a bonus for him.

Right now, he was hunting the bandit triplets where each of their heads had a twenty million immortal crystal reward on them. Forgetting the reward, just the spatial ring that the Minn Family gave them possessed thirty million immortal crystals and perhaps more, considering what those wicked brothers owned in their own spatial rings, he would only stand to gain more.

Davis couldn't wait to plunder them. But in his excitement, time quickly passed.

In the end, dawn broke out.

The bandit triplets didn't leave at midnight. Instead, they left at dawn, causing Davis to have no choice but to follow them.

However, he had expected this scenario and exited before them, dispelling his soul body that was watching over their inn while Nadia did the same, dispelling her doppelganger that was with his soul body. This way, no one would be suspicious of the character Mo Tian he had created.

Everyone will just think Mo Tian left after being unable to become a disciple under the Late Alchemist Immortal Shaiya Minn, which was perfectly in line with how rich young masters went around, wanting instant benefits yet putting in no hard work.

Nonetheless, Davis summoned another soul body, and Nadia summoned another doppelganger using one of her species techniques and had them tail the Dark Sky Triad's flying boats in real-time while they went ahead, projecting the bandit entourage's most likely path, which seemed to be south, to the Starsky Flame City to be exact, causing them to begin setting up an ambush for the triplets in a valley that seemed to be the only way to pass to the other side.
