Divine Emperor of Death

Davis noted their hierarchy and continued to listen in on their conversation.

"Yogi, it doesn't matter if you sleep with one of my household servants. As long as you don't touch any family members, no one will bother with you since you're one of my men..." Said the Young Master with a faint hint of threat.

The middle-aged man named Yogi nodded, his eyes flashing with a peculiar glint, "I thank young master for his grace and forgiveness..."

The young master chuckled a little as he shook his head, 'Truly, your bootlicking skills...'

The surrounding men continued to tease him while the young master fell into deep contemplation.

After a few moments a voice filled with doubt echoed around the jovial atmosphere, crushing it down and making it solemn, "Is that woman truly here?"

Yogi instantly replied, "Young Master, it's been four years since you had me tail that woman, I have no doubt that she has her hideout here!"

"Oh~~" The young master made a sound as if being interested as gestured him to continue.

"Young Master, I have always tried to tail as secretly as possible, but her speed alone is something I cannot match. It took me 4 years to finally track that woman down to this place, and deep inside the inner region is where her residence lies!"

"I witnessed it with my own eyes! I verified her entering and exiting that place more than two times before I hurried back to report to you, young master!"

"Good!" Hearing that, the young master's eyes gleamed with a ferocious light, "We'll ambush her! I'll let her know what true suffering is! How dare she not put my Arashi Family in her eyes at all?!"

He turned to look at Yogi, "As for you, tell me, what do you want? This time you've done a huge service to the family..."

Yogi's eyes narrowed a little, "I want her! Then I want to make a breakthrough to the Mid-Level Adult Soul Stage!"

"Hahaha!" Young Master Arashi laughed and pointed at him, "She is already yours, so the real reward is that you'll be able to make a breakthrough in Soul Forging Cultivation once we return to the family!"

"Thank you, young master!" Yogi succumbed to one knee and said with a deeply moved voice.

Young Master Arashi smiled and the others looked at him like watching a show as well. They all knew how calculative Yogi was, but they weren't perturbed.

The woman Yogi wanted was just a servant and although he knew the other's tactics, he wasn't afraid.

After all, could a puny ant shake a tree? The answer was obviously no, so he or his men weren't bothered at all.

Davis glanced at the young master a while before moving his gaze away as he arranged his thoughts, 'So they are here to hunt down a woman?'

'But, why are the people here so powerful?' His eyes flashed as his gaze moved past each one of them.

'Mid-Level Law Seed Stage, High-Level Law Seed Stage, Peak-Level Law Seed Stage, Low-Level Law Manifestation Stage, Low-Level Law Manifestation Stage, Mid-Level Law Manifestation Stage, Low-Level Law Seed Stage, Low-Level Law Seed Stage...'

None of them bothered to hide their cultivation, and the undulations from the battle before, so Davis was aware of their cultivation.

Most of them were at the Sixth Stage in Essence Gathering Cultivation. The last time he saw this line-up was when he got caught by Elder Severin but unlike that case, it seemed like no one was at the Seventh Stage in this place.

As for the people here, no one could compare to Yogi whose Soul Forging Cultivation was the highest, only the young master from the Arashi Family could compare to him.

Davis's gaze fell on Yogi as he ascertained the latter's cultivation, 'Low-Level Law Seed Stage, Low-Level Adult Soul Stage, Peak-Level Iron Stage...' 

'Oh? Focusing on the Soul Forging Cultivation?'

Then he returned his gaze to Young Master Arashi, 'Low-Level Law Manifestation Stage, Low-Level Adult Soul Stage, Mid-Level Silver Stage...'

After that, his gaze fell on the strongest person here, 'Mid-Level Law Manifestation Stage, Peak-Level Young Soul Stage, Peak-Level Silver Stage...'

Davis belatedly smiled... If he so wished, he could kill every single one of them here with a single thought but the thought of offending the Arashi Family curbed his action.

'All of them are here to hunt down a single woman? If so, considering the entourage that young master brought and the place she is staying at, she must be at least at the Sixth Stage...' He deduced as he pondered whether to follow them or not.

'Since she did not put the Arashi Family in her eyes, doesn't that mean she does not need to fear them? If so, is she from another territory? A powerful background?'

A lot of conjectures and questions popped up in Davis's mind.

What kind of power was Arashi Family? They were the same kind of power as the Roxley Family, a Low-Level King Grade Power which housed a Seventh Stage Expert at the helm.

Davis was sure that they wouldn't dare to touch the woman if she were from the Tripartite Alliance, but it didn't seem to be the case as they keep referring to her as that 'woman'.

It seemed as though they didn't even know the true identity of the said woman.

'What should I do? Help? Or continue to hunt magical beasts?' Two questions popped up in his head.

Helping that said woman might help him someday if she really was from a powerful family.

On the other hand, ignoring and leaving her to these well-prepared men might make her end up with a tragedy.

No matter how he thought, he felt the former option to be humane and just while the latter to be quite inhumane.

Davis chuckled a bit. Although his heart thought like this, he was clear that the logical him was after the favor she would owe him after he saved her.

'Well, since she is a Sixth Stage Expert, she would at least be able to escape by her own...' Davis wryly laughed and decided to continue hunting down Magical Beasts before making a move on them if needed.

He left the area and moved in a direction that was slightly away from the direction which Yogi pointed out.
