Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 3035 A Gambler?

Just as Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus was about to continue, a calm voice echoed out.

"Be careful how you use your words, for the future could be bleak."

Everyone turned to look at the Lumin Family Patriarch, who shared a historical grudge with the other party's family.

"There's no need to be worried about it, Lumin Family Patriarch. Fate will decide our actions, but destiny is something we should reach out to grasp by ourselves, changing it through sheer will and tenacity. I, the Zyrus Family Patriarch, am ready to stake my life to extend my Zyrus Family's destiny."

"Hmph. It's just a Peak Immortal King Grade Secret Realm. They have been found so many times across the First Haven World that they have got rarer to the point that we find abandoned and emptied-out secret realms. What if the secret realm you found turns out to be ransacked beyond compare? Would you feel regret by then for your overbearing speech?"

The Lumin Family Patriarch sneered, "Besides, aren't you trying to re-enter the Central Primesky Alliance that you left in the first place? I heard you even sent one of your family's women, the famous dance arts master known as Molten Shadow Temptress, whose dance is reserved for her future beloved but only known to the women of your family, to seduce the Emperor of Death but failed to. How shameless can you be."

"…"

The Zyrus Family Patriarch's smile receded.

Davis was also taken aback, never knowing Yilla had such a title with her. Was she called that because no one had seen her dance, but it was known to make one melt?

Come to think of it, he had yet to see her dance as well.

'That vixen… she didn't try seducing me using her most powerful weapon in her arsenal...'

Davis couldn't help but inwardly smile. When he could return, it seemed like there was something that he could look forward to. It had been a long time since he had seen Evelynn and Natalya dance for him that he was getting thirsty already.

However, he turned to look at Lumen Family Patriarch.

"She succeeded."

"…?"

Seeing the Lumin Family Patriarch make a confused expression, Davis lightly smiled.

"The Molten Shadow Temptress, Yilla Zyrus. She succeeded in becoming my woman."

"…!"

What Davis had said stunned the Lumin Family Patriarch and the others. Even the Celestial Fairies were present here, unable to believe their ears, but he sighed and continued.

"Hidden behind her diabolical fabric is a graceful and caring nature none of you would expect, although she severed her relations with the Zyrus Family of her own accord. As for what reason, Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus should know the best."

He glanced at the Zyrus Family's Patriarch, causing the latter's expression to sink.

Indeed, he knew the best as he knew what he did to her.

He sacrificed her tamed spirit without her consent because he was clouded by short-term gains of cultivation resources. His expression appeared as though he understood and regretted it. However, he clenched his teeth and waved his hand.

"Emperor of Death, whether you invite me back to the Central Primesky Alliance or not, I promise there will be three spots reserved for you. As for Yilla's Mystic Moonshadow Cloud Spirit, I'm making some arrangements to get her back."

"That won't work."

Davis shook his head, causing Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus to be stunned.

"Isn't that right, Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Tribe's Tribe Lord, Sekan Evernight?"

"Yes. As promised, we have sent the Mystic Moonshadow Cloud Spirit to the Aurora Cloud Gate. I presume she'll be shortly delivered to your first wife, the Hex Demoness. But are you sure…"

"Ten times as I had promised regardless of the state of the spirit..."

The Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Tribe Lord's expression unwittingly produced a deep smile as he cupped his hands.

"It's an honor."

Looking at their exchange, the others were shocked as they understood that the Emperor of Death was willing to pay ten times the price to regain one of his woman's spirit.

Indeed, Davis had given Nightveil an errand. She must've finished negotiations with her tribe successfully for the Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Tribe Lord to say something like this.I think you should take a look at

No matter what, he had to repay Yilla's care on that day. Without her, he might've suffered more or would be dead as the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder wouldn't have made the decision to nurse him and instead just plundered the heavenly essences in his life ring at that time, causing him to die as he had already been weak.

If a person had no potential, even a stupid schemer wouldn't take the time to invest in them. He knew at least that much, understanding that the Blazing Thunderlight Sect's Founder was willing to release or keep him alive because she needed heavenly lightning and heavenly flames of annihilative nature.

But of course, ten times the price it may be, he told them he would pay it before the Candidacy starts and do something like the Dynastic Evernight Phantasm Tribe or any other major power, that was a blink of an eye, and to him, he believed that such an amount would become scrap change in the near future.

"Incredible…"

Suddenly, the Zyrus Family Patriarch spoke as he gazed at Davis, grabbing all attention.

"Zyrus Family Patriarch. Are you seriously going to let an Anarchic Divergent inside the secret realm with our youngsters? He'll massacre them all!"

However, the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch was at it again, causing some to close their eyes. They wanted to hear what entailed the secret realm, but they couldn't retort his words either, knowing that the Emperor of Death was too strong.

"Are you afraid? If you are afraid, you could choose to leave. No one is forcing you to enter."

The Zyrus Family Patriarch chuckled, causing the Cyan Soul Rat Clan's Patriarch to clench his teeth. The nerve of the other party when they were allied just not too long ago, although it was one of the benefits.

However, he saw Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus spread his hands and look at the ceiling as though he was a free, unbound man.

"I… I have seen it."

"…?"

Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus's body trembled as he pointed toward Davis.

"I have seen that this world is tiny, something that is not able to stop the potential that this man holds. He had crossed untold tribulations that we fear from the bottom of our hearts, yet he remains faithful to his heart without losing a single ounce of conviction. I… I want to bet on him!"

His eyes started to gleam with a crazy light, "I have sent scouts into the secret realm, but none of them returned back except with a single scroll that said: Immortal King, Challenge, Resources, Alchemy, and Forging! I had just read those words before the Peak Immortal King Stage scout I sent exploded into a fountain of blood."

"What!?"

Numerous cultivators reeled in shock.

For a powerful scout to return and hand over a scroll and explode into a fountain of blood instead of speaking and surviving, that usually meant that some kind of force occupied the secret realm, whether it may be humans, magical beasts, spirits, or feys!

While Davis was wondering if Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus had finally gone crazy or something, he finally understood that this person was betting on him to take care of the forces on the other side, leading to a smoother experience of plundering the secret realm.

Besides, the scroll stated 'challenge', which meant the forces on the other side were clearly calling them to an exchange of strength and wits.

"Does that mean the secret realm has already been found by someone, or are they aboriginals looking for a challenge?"

Patriarch Klavius Rocksunder asked, causing everyone to become attentive toward Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus.

They weren't just going to take his words to their hearts, knowing he might've hidden a few things, or it could be entirely false altogether.

Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus looked as though he had calmed, smiling a bit.

"I don't know, but I think they're aboriginals and truly powerful since the scout I sent was capable of battling two levels higher."

"…"

Two levels? They guessed that was a start. If not, this would be way easier than they thought.

"Continuing on, we have many kinds of powers gathered. Major powers that own Prefectures or Domains. Alliances or even individuals. With enough strength, my Zyrus Family recognizes all of them as powers, and therefore, the individuals will have three spots, prefecture powers will own five spots, and domain powers will own ten spots except the Aurora Cloud Gate due to the consensus between the participating powers and finally, the powers within the alliances are entitled to five spots each."

"We will set out to the secret realm tomorrow with the chosen dragons and prideful swans but don't forget to send your alchemist and forging master. Otherwise, if you missed out on some opportunities only accessible through them, then don't blame me. If someone has a question, feel free to ask now."

Patriarch Yinakin Zyrus finished announcing, causing many people to narrow their brows at him. Although they had many questions, they couldn't help but wonder about the real question.

"Where is the secret realm?"
