Divine Emperor of Death

A man with dark red robes, dressed along with a mantle over his shoulders, stood straight like a king. He looked handsome with his broad eyes and sharp eyebrows. However, his lips were curved into a condescending smile, making him look haughty and arrogant.

"What is with that attitude when I came to see you out of worry? I heard that the other disciples saw you crying, so I came to console you out of the kindness in my heart..."

Esvele stared daggers at this man with killing intent brewing in her eyes. If it weren't for this person bewitching her mind with greed, she wouldn't have fallen so low either, and neither would she have felt like this in the first place.

Improper and treacherous!

"A top disciple has come to console you, yet you, a mere core disciple, still possess that kind of face when looking at me?" The man snorted, "Looks like I have given you too much face!"

Esvele threw her arms at him, and an object flew into the man's hands, "Don't show your face ever again, Schneider!"

Schneider caught the object in his hand and cast a look at it. It looked like a white pill and was none other than the aphrodisiac pill he gave to Esvele. Once mixed with a liquid, it would quickly become odorless, transparent, and almost undetectable by common methods.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "How long has it been since I've given this to you? You had so many chances, yet you failed to utilize any!" 

Looking at Schneider righteously pointing at her, reprimanding that she failed to drug her senior sister Shirley, a look of madness appeared on her face.

"Ahh, that's right! Even though I had so many chances, I didn't sedate senior sister Shirley! Although my greed had taken over me initially, I didn't cross the line! Senior sister Shirley knew that, so didn't punish or kill me!"

"What!? Junior sister Shirley knows!?" Schneider exclaimed as his expression changed.

"That's right!" Esvele chuckled, "Since senior sister could tell that I was suspicious, she naturally could tell that someone was behind me. With senior sister Shirley's intelligence and bravery, it wouldn't be a surprise for her to know what had been happening behind the scenes. After all, it's common knowledge that you and your three brothers are all sinisterly pining for senior sister Shirley."

"At least, one of you might be the mastermind who led me to betray senior sister Shirley."

Schneider went silent before his shoulders relaxed as he smiled, "So junior sister Shirley still doesn't know that it's me... Very good!"

He walked towards Esvele at a slow pace. His eyes were roaming around, lustfully gazing at Esvele's voluptuous body.

Esvele narrowed her eyes in displeasure, but she instantly took out a token. Instantly, a blinding light flashed, and a formation suddenly trapped Schneider. She sneered at the stopped Schneider, "Even if you're at the Law Dominion Stage, it would be stupid of you to think that you can do anything to me in my abode."

"Good! Very good!" 

Schneider shook his finger at her with an offended smile before he took out an object in his hand, "You've forced me."

"Tha- That's a master token!!!" The shock came first before Esvele's expression became horrified.

"No!!!"

The light disappeared and flashed again. However, the formation that was trapping Schneider transferred to Esvele. Her horrified expression faded before she looked at the light that sealed her cultivation base. 

Precisely, it hindered the circulation of her cultivation enormously, making her essence gathering cultivation useless. Not only did it disrupt her essence gathering cultivation, but it also restricted her movements to a certain degree, disabling the usage of her Body Tempering Cultivation's battle aura or martial energy. 

Not that her Body Tempering Cultivation was strong in the first place to be able to get out through her fleshly body alone.

Schneider sneered.

"Heh, don't worry. How can I cause a beauty such as yourself to die just like that? Since you have fallen so low to betray your leader, why don't you become my follower? If you become my woman, hehe... Although I won't treat you badly, I wouldn't treat you like my wives either." 

He possessed a solemn expression on his face while he explained, but his eyes were thrusting out his lust like drainage.

Esvele's lips trembled while her shoulders shook. She initially thought that she would be instantly killed with a killing formation, but this man trapped her instead. She didn't expect such a twist, neither did she expect to him to have such a thing as the master token which only the Grand Elders possess.

Esvele repined and blamed herself. Since Schneider's father was a Grand Elder of their Burning Phoenix Ridge, she should've at least expected this twist coming, but it didn't cross her mind at all. Rather, it should be said that she didn't expect a person of that stature, Schneider's father, a Grand Elder, to stoop this low.

'Father and son are rotten to the core. Perhaps, it is the same for the other brothers as well...' Esvele clenched her teeth in rage, but she was helpless to do anything currently.

Schneider approached Esvele before he stood just before her. He looked at her like a predator eyeing and savoring its prey before he spoke.

"I won't use the killing formation, neither will I stop you from self-destructing your revolving core. After all, I remember that you came from a humble origin." 

Schneider smirked, "Yelan Town, was it?"

"Bastard, you dare!?" Esvele clenched her fists as she spat out through her clenched teeth, "Even the Grand Elder, your father wouldn't be able to save you if you were to touch my family!"

"The Burning Phoenix Ridge wouldn't let you go, and they will make sure you will burn in the Burning Hell Valley!"

"Haha, you're right!" Schneider laughed, "There is a rule that states that even if two disciples possessed a grudge that is only resolvable with life and death, they should not touch each other's family. However, rules are rules. There are always loopholes." Schneider grinned like a devil.

"Do you think that the Burning Phoenix Ridge would care about your family's safety after you die?" 

Esvele's pupils shook as her expression became aghast. Her eyes grew moist, but she refused to cry. Her clenched fists slowly loosened, and her stiff body became relaxed. No, it was better to say that her visage became hopeless.

"Oh? You agree to become my woman?" Schneider extended his hands through the formation and caressed her cheek before he lifted up her chin.

Since he seemed to possess the master token, it seemed that the sealing formation was unable to affect him.

Esvele's eyes shook, but she still wore a wry yet hateful smile, "I deserve this..."

Schneider grinned as his eyes glanced down, "Although junior sister Shirley is my main target, you are not bad as well. Just your figure alone is voluptuous and far superior to junior sister Shirley's."

"Far superior to my figure?" A fiery yet mesmerizing voice echoed, "Indeed, junior sister Esvele's figure is far superior to my own."

Schneider's heart shook as he violently turned to look back.

"Junior sister Shirley!" 

"Senior sister Shirley!"

He and Esvele echoed at the same time. However, one was horrified while the other sounded panicked and worried.
