Divine Emperor of Death

'Then the Conferred Queen's true background should really be grand, perhaps even grander than my Alstreim Family...' Havle Alstreim inwardly gulped.

He silently tried to probe but still couldn't find even a hint of Essence Gathering Cultivation from the other party. He didn't know that the reason he couldn't figure out the other two Cultivation Systems of this masked expert laid in the fact that Davis's body was none other than a soul-body avatar!

The Solitary Soul Avatar cannot have Essence Gathering Cultivation System and Body Tempering Cultivation System simply because it is not a fleshly body!

"My Young Mistress doesn't want anyone to disturb her seclusion. She is cultivating sincerely to improve her cultivation and one must know that no one can disturb people when they have secluded themselves in cultivation, especially when the said cultivator is training in Body Tempering Cultivation..." Davis uttered in a threatening tone.

This made Havle Alstreim inwardly sweat.

'Have I made a mistake?' He couldn't help but think in a passive and negative light.

Davis waved his hand and the small container flew back to Havle Alstreim, making the latter's expression turn ugly, even humiliated.

"I apologize beforehand because my Young Mistress is solely concentrated in her efforts to cultivate for the time being and it seems that my Young Mistress already had her fun in other territories when she was adventuring..."

"Even when my Young Mistress participated in the Conferred King Tournament, it was for nothing but her whim of testing her strength against opponents at the Seventh Stage in this Empire."

"As for the Alchemy Convention, she tried to find something useful but everything there was useless, wasting her time instead."

"So at this point, any invitations or requests to visit my Young Mistress have always been rejected and will be rejected. I hope the local hegemon of this Territory can understand what I'm saying..."

"Don't make me say this twice..." 

Davis ended his sentence with an underlying intent, causing Havle Alstreim to be taken aback. 

Before he could say anything, Davis added.

"Of course, since my Young Mistress is mainly adventuring, we will eventually be paying a visit to the grand Alstreim Family to sightsee..."

"And at that time..."

"Our Young Mistress will be expecting a much, much expensive gift by then..."

Davis chuckled, making it sound like the Alstreim Family is going to be visited by a supreme young character in the future!

Havle Alstreim widened his eyes.

'So that's what it is!'

He became increasingly satisfied with hearing an explanation and being called a grand power by the expert let him daydream of the upcoming day when the Conferred Queen would visit which would in turn gain him recognition in the family!

He quickly came out of his reverie and opened his mouth in glee, "Of course! We'll wait!"

"However, I still don't know what power you all belong to..." 

Havle Alstreim amicably smiled. 

When this question was asked, everyone present waited with bated breath. This was the answer they wanted to know from the moment they heard about the Conferred Queen! 

Davis chuckled and turned back. He walked towards the entrance before he stopped and echoed in a profound light.

"My Young Mistress has the bloodline of a dragon..."

Havle Alstreim became stunned. His brain rapidly swirled before his whole body shook as if he had been electrified.

His mouth hung wide open!

"You! Are you all from the Zlatan Family!?"

Davis just laughed a while as he heard the soul transmission before he shook his head. He entered the residence and closed the door for but before it could completely close, his voice echoed.

"Perhaps..."

Havle Alstreim's face flushed red. It was if he had just seen a naked woman inviting him to pleasure him on the bed! He clenched his fists in disbelief while his mind rapidly spun to form answers!

'No way! Is the Conferred Queen really from Zlatan Family!? If she is, then is her full name is Isabella Zlatan?'

'However, the Zlatan Family is in the Golden Dragon Valley Territory! That's a Magical Beast Territory and it is far away from us! How can I hope to confirm that the Conferred Queen is from that family?!?'

'Ahh!! If it were at least a Human Territory, then I can request for the Grand Elders to check...'

'Besides it isn't necessarily might be the case since that protector seemed to not explicitly mention the Conferred Queen's background. Even if she has the bloodline of a dragon, it doesn't solely point to the Zlatan Family... It is also possible that she might from the numerous other Emperor Grade Families that possess the remnant bloodline of a dragon...'

'Sigh... It is better to wait for them to visit the Alstreim Family, otherwise, I might be inadvertently currying enmity with them.'

He turned back and eyed his two subordinates.

"You two! Stay in the Ethren City from now on and report to me if anyone one of these bastards in this city makes a move on the Conferred Queen! Our Alstreim Family will not stand by the side and idly watch!"

Havle Alstreim's voice echoed heavily so much that it almost resounded through the entire second level, especially Davis's residence which was the nearest.

The two subordinates nodded their heads solemnly and cast a look at the two people who were behind them.

The First Prince, Hadre Ethren, and the Royal Protector, Freed Ethren, possessed a not so amused expression on their faces. They realized that this envoy from the Alstreim Family is currying favor with the Conferred Queen through this method.

But at the same time, it meant no one other than the Alstreim Family can near the Conferred Queen to curry favors!

"The Alstreim Family is deplorable! They are bullying us!" The First Prince sent a Soul Transmission to the Royal Protector.

"They are this Territory's hegemon! Calm yourself down! Your Highness doesn't need to involve yourself in this matter!" Freed Ethren replied.

But even his hands were subconsciously clenching in anger.

Even currying favors is a privilege granted to a select few... In the Ethren Empire, they had this under their control but when the true hegemon came, they have no choice but to bow their heads!

"But... This is burying one's opportunities to grow!" 

The First Prince's eyes blazed with anger.

"Your Highness, we had time on our side but we failed to use it since the succession to the Throne is near. We don't have much of a choice...'

The First Prince became taken aback.

Indeed, they had time to investigate but failed to use it.

Abruptly, the First Prince's expression brightened.

"Aren't there various rumors indicating that Third Brother's subordinate is currently investigating the Conferred Queen and that he had made some progress in it? Quick, we must make a move..."

Freed Ethren imperceptibly nodded his head.

"Yes, but don't be hasty your Highness. I support your claim to the Throne, so I'll be advising you that this isn't the time to be anxious. We must be calm, otherwise, we'll find ourselves in the gallows or possibly under the claws of the Alstreim Family."

"This... Alright..."

After calming down, the First Prince felt that he had truly lost his cool.

'Phew... I was almost about to make a mistake...' He sighed and cast a look at the envoy who seemed to be silent but there were soul fluctuations from the two subordinates, so it became obvious that they were communicating with Soul Transmission just like them.

Havle Alstreim informed his subordinates about do's and don'ts.

"Alright, I still have some work to do back in the Alstreim family, so don't offend the Conferred Queen, I will not be able to help you two."

"Yes!" The two responded.

Havle Alstreim nodded his head satisfactorily before he turned back and gave one last look to the residence before he left towards the third level to have one last talk with Emperor Ethren and display their so-called reality.
