Chapter 2850 Suspected From All Sides
Three Mystic Diviners approached Mo Tian with heavy steps, and following them was a group of Fire Phoenix Elders, trying to surround Mo Tian as they spread out.
"What's the meaning of this?"
Abruptly, a stern voice resounded, causing many to be startled.
It wasn't Mo Tian who spoke just now but the Golden Crow Clan's Patriarch, Soaren Goldsun. He had stood up, appearing angered as his golden eyes surged with golden flames.
"I told you if you want to talk to him, you should go through me first, right?"
"I think you're misunderstanding something." Patriarch Killian Zenflame appeared amused, "I'm not thinking of recruiting Mo Tian into our Phoenix Alliance. In fact, I'm only concerned about the safety of the banquet that we're hosting, but you want to hinder it by not allowing me to check if an Anarchic Divergent is around?"
"It's I who would have to ask: what's the meaning of this, Soaren Goldsun?"
His voice became colder, causing Patriarch Soaren Goldsun to clench his teeth, "This is getting ridiculous. If you really wanted to check if there is an Anarchic Divergent around, there is no need to particularly check Brother Mo Tian. You could just have them divine the location. Are you taking me for a fool?"
"I suspect you're intentionally bullying a junior with Mystic Diviners just because you were put in an awkward position."
He pointed at Patriarch Killian Zenflame's face and roared, causing many to be stunned, stunned by his honesty and directness, as leaders would never do that.
The Golden Crow Clan's Patriarch really didn't beat around the bush, and as expected, Patriarch Killian Zenflame's smile faded. However, he sneered and gestured at the Mystic Diviners.
"Originally, I invited them to see if the young Emperor of Death was still around here."
But quickly, he turned towards the Aurora Cloud Gate, looking at Shirley with cupped hands.
"My apologies, third inheritor. I truly wish that he was still here, so we could've made more amendments to him whom we wronged. After all, despite being a Divergent, your husband would be the only one allowed here as he was invited, but the others, like Dead End, are not welcome here, especially an Anarchic Divergent is not allowed no matter what. They cause more calamities than Divergents ever could, so if we ever see one, it's our responsibility to obliterate them from the face of the First Haven World."
As soon as he finished explaining, he looked at Shirley as he raised his head but only saw her still glaring at him. Regardless, he cupped his hands towards the others.
"I hope all of you understand my wish to protect the people who were magnanimous enough to attend this humble banquet."
"Indeed, what Patriarch Killian Zenflame is saying is not overboard." The leftmost Mystic Diviner said.
"We could die if we really could divine an Anarchic Divergent's location." Said the rightmost Mystic Diviner.
"The consequences are too severe, even for the people surrounding us, as everyone will be affected by karmic burden, making our tribulations harder than usual." Came a voice from the middle.
"Woah!"
However, that information was so shocking and destructive that most people stood up, clamoring with anger and fear present in their voices.
"Then what are you doing? Don't divine Apothecary Mo Tian or this location!" The Light Phoenix Patriarch raised his voice.
"That's right."
"Are you people crazy? You could even die, so why are you endangering us as well?"
"This seems asinine."
The leaders of the other powers also grunted, including the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder, who apparently found this situation stupid beyond compare.
However, the Mystic Diviner in the middle of the three of them raised his hands and brought out a mystical lamp that was in the shape of a diamond. It seemed to be made from pure white jade and had intricate carvings of dragons and phoenixes, including the emblem of the Heaven Gazing Hall etched on its surface.
"Fret not, fellow immortals. We have considered this scenario and brought out our legacy treasure that is capable of detecting an Anarchic Divergent's aura."
"…!"
Many people were shocked. They couldn't help but look at this marvelous piece of treasure, causing many to be intrigued but also afraid as they were not sure where this was going to bring them.
"I have heard of this treasure before, called the Mystic Divergent Illumination Lamp, capable of detecting an Anarchic Divergent but not a Divergent?" The Fire Dragon Clan's Patriarch couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Yes," The Mystic Diviner held the lamp and nodded respectfully, "Divergents could be slippery and somewhat difficult to pinpoint but not impossible, but Anarchic Divergents are entities outright detested by the heavens. As you might have heard, there are mysterious treasures in the world capable of detecting them, making it easier to discover them than Divergents."
"These mysterious treasures include the likes of Anarchic Starlight Essence, the combination of a pure-blooded dragon's scale, phoenix's tear, and a kirin's horn mixed along with Yin-Yang Celestial Nectar, or even the fat extracted from the spirit bone of a heaven's warrior, so as long as activate these treasures in this Mystic Divergent Illumination Lamp, we would come to know if an Anarchic Divergent is present here."
That Mystic Diviner patiently explained, causing many to nod their heads subconsciously as they felt like they heard some truths about the world. Moreover, that Mystic Diviner was also a Peak Immortal King, making them feel like juniors.
"So this doesn't pinpoint where the Anarchic Divergent is?" However, a brazen question was thrown out again.
This voice belonged to none other than Patriarch Soaren Goldsun.
"Of course not." That Mystic Diviner responded with a light smile, "If it did, it would be over for us as we would be affected by consequential backlash. However, many are already suspicious of this young man, so why not block him from making a move when we find out an Anarchic Divergent is in case present; was our thinking. We are definitely not targeting him but only want to take some precautions."
Seeing that the Mystic Diviner was somewhat reasonable, Patriarch Soaren Goldsun frowned. He directed his gaze towards Patriarch Killian Zenflame, seeing him have a mysterious smile on his face.
"Young man- no, Apothecary Mo Tian. Why are you so silent now? Do you want to say something?"
Davis glanced at Patriarch Killian Zenflame.
Indeed, he was silent, so silent than before that it could be said that he was extremely suspicious.
However, he wasn't silent because he was going to be found out. He was silent because his mind was rapidly churning to come up with a counter plan in case these Mystic Diviners turned out to be Fraser Herrion. He recognized Fraser Herrion as an even larger threat than the Fire Phoenix Clan purely because of his Malediction Laws that could traverse realms, so there was no need to mention distances in addition to pure damage dealing by simply revealing some information about Myria that was only privy to only them.
Although quickly, he realized he was being overcautious as even if these Mystic Diviners were indeed Fraser Herrion, they shouldn't be able to tell he was Davis Alstreim, which made him calm down a bit, especially when the Patriarch Killian Zenflame said that he called them here and not the other way around.
But hearing Patriarch Killian Zenflame's words, he finally reacted as his lips curled into a mocking smile, still seated as he gestured.
"Well, what's there for me to say? Go on. Do your divination and find out where Dead End is. I'm also waiting..."
He shrugged, causing Patriarch Killian Zenflame's shoulders to shake as though he was amused before gesturing at the Mystic Diviners.
The Mystic Diviners nodded as the one in the middle released the Mystic Divergent Illumination Lamp, allowing it to float in front of them.
Instantly, the three Mystic Diviners surrounded it, raising their heads as they sent their energy inside, trying to activate it.
Davis's gaze flickered, watching the lamp fire up!
