Divine Emperor of Death

The people in the hall turned silent as they looked at the elegant yet gorgeous Claire. Her radiance as a supreme beauty was of secondary concern, however, the information she revealed sounded like an explosion in Daniuis's ears.

Daniuis's mood which had been gloomy and cautious flew away like a kite that its strings cut.

Davis froze the moment he heard his mother calling Daniuis her uncle. It took him a moment to understand what she was uttering. He even thought of it as nonsense.

However, when he looked both of their faces, he found that there was a slight resemblance, although not perceivable in a glance.

Daniuis stared at Claire for a long while before he nodded his head in understanding.

"If brother knew that you were still alive, I wonder how happy he would feel..."

"What happened to father!?" Claire's face changed as she instantly asked.

'Could it be that they have killed my father!?' Claire's heart turned cold as her hatred soared when she heard the nuance in Daniuis's tone.

She had been prepared for such a result when she had come to the First Layer!

Daniuis hurriedly shook his head, "I didn't mean it that way." 

Suddenly, he paused before saying with a solemn expression on his face, "Let's escape from here before engaging in small talk!"

Claire calmed herself down and nodded her head in understanding.

No matter which results she was forced to face, she was prepared to face it with her determination as a cultivator.

Davis activated his Death God Eyes and his eyes turned red which he quickly blinked away causing people to think if they were hallucinating.

'So he really is Daniuis Alstreim...' Davis was still unsure and under the impression that his mother caught the wrong person, but it seems like it wasn't the case.

Daniuis gestured for his children and Nina to come closer.

At that time, an anxious voice echoed out, "Wait!"

All of the people in the hall turned to look towards the source of the voice.

It was none other than Jackson Lars!

Jackson Lars's lips trembled as he tried to ask for help. If he didn't, he exactly knew what would happen to them after this event.

He would be undoubtedly hunted down by the Tripartite Alliance in the name of investigation. He might even be framed to be one of the members of the masked group or by these people who were collapsed.

If that happened, then his ending would be extremely worse, or so he imagined. 

As for Imryll Berilan and Katrine Blackwell, their endings could be even worse than him. These two women also understood this point, so they had a worried expression on their faces as they stood by him.

He gulped and brought out the courage within him to speak up for help.

"Help us! We want to join you! I swear we will not betray your group under any circumstances!" Jackson Lars had a desperate expression on his face as he looked towards Davis. However, his words weren't temporary but came from his heart.

He really wanted to repay his gratitude to Davis, the raven-shaped golden masked person who saved them, however, if they were left behind, their ending wouldn't be any different than the one that happened just a while ago.

They wouldn't be able to escape from the Arc Song Mercenaries which was being backed by the Tripartite Alliance even if they have sprouted wings, so the only way for them to survive was to latch on to this group of people who seemed to be part of a mysterious group who dares to go against the Tripartite Alliance!

Davis went silent. 

He too knew the consequences that Jackson Lars would be faced with once he left. If he left the other party now, it would be no different from not saving them in the beginning.

He pondered for a few seconds before nodding his head in agreement.

Jackson Lars turned ecstatic as he saw his benefactor. The gratitude he had felt reached the peak as he kowtowed to the ground by smashing his head.

"I'll never forget this kindness in my entire life!"

Davis was inwardly flabbergasted but just nodded again.

He had remembered Young Master Jackson Lars to be arrogant when faced with others who were even slightly powerful, however, it looks like the robbing he had done and really changed his temperament.

Or maybe it was a lesson that he learned from others after that event.

At this time, Jackson Lars looked glanced at Young Leader Baris before looking at Davis.

Davis nodded his head again.

Jackson Lars turned ecstatic as his gratefulness reached the peak! With wrathful steps, he walked towards Young Leader Baris's frothing figure.

Just when he was about to wake him up and torture him, he received a soul transmission.

"Make it quick."

Jackson Lars instantly abandoned his plan of taking his time to torture Young Leader Baris, instead, he lifted his leg up and positioned his shoes above the frothing face.

"Die you bastard!" With a furious cry, his shoes plunged down and stomped on Young Leader Baris's face.

The face instantly caved in as blood spurted and eyes flew out of his sockets!

"Argghh!!" With a painful cry, Young Leader Baris tried to stand up but a forceful stomp repeatedly smashed his head into the ground!

With bloodshot eyes, Jackson Lars concentrated all his Body Tempering Cultivation towards his leg and repeatedly stomped like a madman.

*Stomp!~*

*Stomp!~*

*Stomp!~*

Young Leader Baris's face was utterly crushed and the state it was in left the others who were conscious looking away in disgust.

With a few last stomps, Young Leader Baris's hands which were twitching finally stopped moving and the place where his head was supposed to be was like a head that was crushed flat with blood and brain matter flowing around his neck.

With Jackson Lars's actions, all of them could feel his hatred towards the dead man. Nevertheless, they watched the spectacle with indifference since they knew what kind of a person the dead man was...

Davis didn't ponder on it anymore as he turned to look towards Claire before gesturing her 'let's leave' and at the same time, three more masked people appeared through the entrance.

They were none other Mulia's group who were told to come to this place by Davis through Soul Transmission when Jackson Lars was about to crush Baris's head.

In a minute, they had arrived here, but when they saw Jackson Lars's who had bloodied shoes, they were flabbergasted.

With his Soul Sense, Davis could already sense since Sixth Stage Cultivators in the distance, far away from the Loseris Capital heading in their direction. That was why maybe Danuius also stated for them to talk later.

"He is?" Daniuis asked Claire through Soul Transmission as she seemed to be a member of this mysterious masked group. 

He did not point at Davis afraid that he would inadvertently offend him. Everyone in the masked group seemed to follow his instructions, effectively increasing the mystery around him.

However, Claire knew who her uncle was asking for but she just smiled as she opened her mouth, "My pride..."

Daniuis turned confused. 

Could it be that he was her lover?

In any case, since they were all safe and their combined strength could possibly hold against the Tripartite Alliance, he made a decision to move towards his hideout.

He flew away with Lucia, Lucas, and Nina in tow while Claire's entourage followed them along with Jackson Lars and his two women.
