Divine Emperor of Death

Around thousand kilometers to the west of Loseris Kingdom's Capital, there was an enormous river that could actually be considered as a sea as it stretched towards the horizon, as far as one's eyes could see.

A group of people suddenly arrived above and suddenly stopped. However, they continued and entered the river as they dived straight in.

They swiftly aimed and reached for the depths in a few minutes. There were numerous magical beasts in this river however they swam away once they felt the powerful undulations from the group.

Davis looked at the numerous tunnels which existed underground. At the same time, he saw Daniuis move towards a wall before passing through it. 

Even without someone telling him, he quickly realized that the majority of the entry holes should be fake, possibly filled with traps.

He and the others swiftly followed behind Daniuis, and their eyes caught sight of coral reefs and the like before they exited the tunnel, out of the cave water.

There was visible space, extending to the horizon. It was not narrow but wide, however, it was empty.

Daniuis just waved his hand and in the distance, a transparent veil of cover disintegrated and the atmosphere became noisy.

Numerous people were moving to and fro, their blue attires familiar, belonging to the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

"Husband!" Came three shouts at the same time.

The concealment formation was in the control of four people. Namely, Daniuis, and his three wives; the triplets.

Thus, they knew that their husband had arrived the moment the Concealment Formation was retracted. The three of them quickly came out of the crowd but they all turned aghast when they saw Lucas's miserable figure.

"Leader!" The others in the area shouted, however, they all turned silent when they too glanced at Lucas.

One of the three women let out tears as she instantly closed the distance between her and Lucas. It was none other than Su Hualing.

She embraced her son as she let out silent tears while her son placated her to not worry.

When her husband had barged out of seclusion without saying anything, she thought it was for an emergency, but she didn't think it would be this worse.

Fortunately, all of them were alive.

Daniuis groaned as the other two women came to embrace his half-scorched silhouette while they too let out tears. He withstood the pain and embraced them as well.

He sighed and then gestured a few people to arrange a place to stay for Claire's group.

=======

A Law Manifestation Stage subordinate of Daniuis brought them a little far away from the conspicuous part and let them stay in a place where there were no to few people around.

There were a few caves enough for all of them which eventually let them make themselves at home.

Davis's Family, Mulia's Group, Princess Isabella, and Jackson Lars's Group took one cave each and spread out.

Once Claire's Family settled in a cave, Davis finally spoke, "Mother, you never said anything about Cloud Spring Mercenaries's Leader, Daniuis being your uncle."

Claire turned a little embarrassed as she had not thought that he would be in the Tripartite Alliance Territory.

She tried to explain, "Davis, I didn't know that my uncle was present here. If I knew, I would've told you when you shared your experiences with us. There are simply many people with the name Daniuis out there, how would I know?"

Davis went speechless but sighed, "It's my fault, I should've displayed his facial feature through my soul force when I explained it to you all."

Logan couldn't help but nod, "Claire, your carelessness almost cost your uncle's life, even almost ending his children's lives who are actually your cousins."

Logan had already heard the details from Davis during their journey. As a father figure, although he was powerless to do anything, he felt that he should at least know of the situation beforehand.

Davis did explain what had happened to all three of them, after all, he has promised this to them when he left them behind safely to help Lucia.

Claire couldn't help but wryly laugh but she stared at Davis as she turned proud. Fortunately, Davis had moved to help them for the small kindness they had shown him once in the past.

And their support of his endeavor in return had led their son to save them!

'Su Hualing, right? I should thank her for saving my son at that time...' Claire saw Su Hualing outside but the latter was busy treating Lucas's injuries.

Her saving Davis had helped them in the long run. 

Was this called Karma? 

Claire simply shook her head to ones who controlled fate; the heavens.

Meanwhile, Davis's expression went stiff.

Cousins? Daniuis's children were cousins to his mother? Doesn't that mean Lucia and Lucas were his aunt and uncle respectively?

At that time when he commanded them by using his position in Cloud Spring Mercenaries, he had ordered around them a lot.

Now, they were his aunt and uncle. 

What kind of a twist was this?

Davis's lips imperceptibly twitched.

But how can this be possible?? He had viewed both Lucas and Lucia's name through Death God Eyes before! Their names didn't have Alstreim on it!!

Could it be that Daniuis truly choose to not name them Alstreim? Was that the reason?

Davis couldn't help but doubt.

As for Daniuis, he was unable to use Death God Eyes on him since his Soul Forging Cultivation was weaker at that time.

By the time Davis had increased his Soul Forging Cultivation, he could no longer meet Daniuis since the Cloud Spring Mercenaries was destroyed, forcing the latter to hide.

"So why is your uncle here instead of being in the Alstreim Family?" Davis got to the point.

"Uncle Daniuis was exiled." Claire spoke, "The last time when I saw him secretly with my father was when I was nothing but a child. I remember that he had the same expression as then when he left the Alstreim Family."

"Exiled? For what reason?" Davis became curious.

"Well..." Claire pondered for while before speaking, "I'm not sure of the exact reason but from what I've heard, Uncle Daniuis disabled a lascivious family member who tried to have his way with his maids."

Claire explained, "However, Uncle Daniuis managed to stop that lascivious man from violating his maids, however, the aphrodisiac they had been fed caused some internal damage to one of them."

"Uncle Daniuis was already angry, so when he heard the maid who was internally injured cry out in pain while spurting out blood from her private, he couldn't help charge towards the lascivious man to kill him out of fury."

"It was said that Uncle Daniuis grew up those three maids, hence the reason for his anger."

"However, the lascivious man wasn't killed but only crippled."

"Let me guess, that lascivious man is probably a silk pant who has a powerful father, right?" Davis interrupted.

Claire nodded her head but then shook, "His father isn't powerful but his mother is..."

"And as you can guess, the mother protested to the law enforcement and forced Uncle Daniuis to be exiled along with those three maids, whom she called whores who seduced her son and Uncle Daniuis at that time."

"I heard from my father that Uncle Daniuis was a respectable and morally upright man who cares deeply for his family. So after that event, it was said that he disappeared from the family and went to another territory out of shame."
