Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 2702 Procuring Resources

*Bzzz!~*

Icy undulations surged, and a layer of frost instantly surrounded Davis and the others, causing the disciples to become shocked before their gazes fell on an Immortal King. She appeared rather gentle with her appearance, but once she touched an icy sword appeared in her hand, her aura changed, becoming sharp and chilling to the very bone, causing the disciples who had rushed towards them to shiver.

"Keep your distance, or else don't blame us for being rude."

Tanya warned as her sword disappeared like petals dispersing into the wind and melting before they disappeared.

"Everyone, don't be offended."

Davis perfunctorily cupped his hands, "I'm being targeted by assassins, so that's why my people and I are rather cautious of our surroundings. However, if you want to trade with me, you may have to wait as we have to visit the Treasury first before we can decide on anything."

Hearing Davis explaining, everyone produced a wry smile and left some way for him.

They didn't want to offend the calamity known as the Emperor of Death.

But still, they couldn't help but follow him.

Everyone knew he had a hefty amount of contribution points, as it was etched right on the disciple rankings. The disciples here were rich, but some resources could only be obtained through using contribution points. That's why he was a hot source of 'meat' that everyone was after right now.

As for the reason why they didn't target Tanya, the first-ranked individual and also the owner of a huge number of contribution points, that was because they knew she was the Emperor of Death's woman, and to get to her, they must first woo the Emperor of Death. Or else, they knew that they'd be in for a world of hurt.

It was complicated, but that was one of the unspoken rules in the cultivation world, but still, they appeared like rabid dogs willing to do anything.

"Davis, why did you say that? I'm afraid that they're going to hound us to death."

Mingzhi's lips curled as she sent a soul transmission to everyone present, causing them to smile as they turned to look at him.

"Well, for one, we could gain more immortal crystals through them than the sect. Secondly, the profiteers who try to make a profit by buying low and selling high would sooner or later leave, and only the desperate ones will cling to us till the end. We can make a killing from them."

"Ah, so wicked~"

"I'm the Emperor of Death, for heaven's sake."

Davis shrugged, causing them all to break into snickering giggles that were one of doubt and cheerfulness.

This was like an outing that they could enjoy if there was nothing to worry about, causing them to look forward to the things they were going to point at and buy, as anything that caught their eyes would be something that would be greatly helpful to them.

Davis glanced behind him and saw that every one of his women was present. However, surrounding them was the Reaper Soul Legion, ready to give up their lives if someone dares approached them from any side.

Although he didn't think anyone would try anything funny here, that didn't include crazy people who were ready to give up their lives for a price. The cultivation world was such, teeming with daring people. After all, most of them would be orphans and would have nothing to lose, and even if they had everything, they would do everything in their power to not lose their world.

Quickly, they arrived at the Treasury.

There was a massive cube-like structure in the distance, simply towering and possessing a huge present that curbed any greed in their hearts. Moreover, at the foot of this structure was a pathway adorned by pillars at each side, and sitting on them were twelve elders.

Their decrepit eyes opened, and they took a glance at them, causing everyone to freeze.

However, they did nothing and returned to lowering their heads, appearing asleep.

"…"

Davis had no idea what's the point of these people guarding the treasures if they were going to act so mysteriously every now and then. He had heard about them from Shirley, who had visited here before, but he didn't pay heed to them and walked past the pillars, appearing before the massive structure.

It was heavily crowded, but there were also many openings to accommodate many disciples.

In any case, they were just given a catalog to browse through, so they took their time exploring each and every section they could with the utmost excitement, catching sight of a treasure and reading till their hearts shook.

From [Armaments and Artifacts], [Formations], [Ingredients], [Materials], [Constructs], [Pills], [Manuals], [Heavenly Treasures], and even [Divine Techniques]… everything that the Aurora Cloud Gate has to offer was present!

However, the things they first read weren't Immortal Grade Treasures, nor was it Immortal King Grade Treasures. Instead, they straight away went to Immortal Emperor Grade Treasures, wanting to see what lies ahead in their path before making a decision or wanting to make a decision accordingly.

Treasures were hard to get outside, but if what they required was already in the Aurora Cloud Gate, then there was little they needed to do other than gain contribution points by working hard for the sect.

But at this moment, Shirley's expression changed.

"It isn't here…"

"…?"

Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Shirley.

"What isn't here?"

Davis asked her, his brows frowning. Did she have a treasure that she had her eye on?

"The Burning Daylight Spring Source…" Shirley's crimson eyes shook, "It isn't here. Someone has procured it."

Davis narrowed his brows as he heard of this treasure from Shirley before.

It was something that allowed a Fire Phoenix to enter King-Tier, but due to its efficacy being too low, it wasn't something others would choose, so they took their time coming here, but it looks like it has already been snatched away.

However, it was a restricted resource, so people who were disciples could not take it out either, nor trade or transfer it to outsiders. If found, it would be a punishable offense.

Just as they wondered what was going on, a sneering voice echoed by their side.

"Looking for this?"

Davis's expression sharpened as he turned to look at a man holding a vase within his embrace as though he treasured it a lot, but looking at who it was, Davis couldn't help but grin.

"Rai Zenflame…"
