Divine Emperor of Death

In the Grand Wedding Hall, Sect Master Bing Luli sighed as she took to the skies.

Finally, they arrived at her request, although they were a bit late that something terrible could've happened. Fortunately, Davis and Isabella's true prowess seemed to have held back the aggressive forces from causing a mishap.​​

"Honorable Elder Julian Kruse." Domitian Family's Grand Elder spoke with a frown on his face, "For what reason are you here?"

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse panned his head, looking around as he spoke.

"I've heard that you Dragon Families are making trouble again, so I rushed from the Flowing Mist Sect Territory where I was investigating about the Yantra Family's wrongdoing and their remnants. It seemed that the Poison Lord Villa was also involved with many transactions with them, and coincidentally, we seem to have the Poison Lord Villa crashing this..."

He narrowed his eyes as he looked below, "... wedding?"

He then raised his head to look at the Poison Mistress, feeling some trepidation in his heart as he heard some rumors about her. The moment he looked at her, he felt his heart inexplicably attracted to her but didn't focus too much on it as he avoided looking at her.

Even though his cultivation was at Mid-Level Law Rune Stage, Low-Level Martial Overlord Stage, and High-Level King Soul Stage, he knew that he was not a match for this vixen. Instead, he turned to look at his partner.

"Mihangel, you take care of her. We Heaven Gazing Sect Elders are not quite suited for battles..."

"Ahaha! Good call, crazy diviner."

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans took a step forward as he took out a shell, seemingly ready to use it anytime, while the Poison Mistress instantly seemed to have become cautious of it. Clearly, she knew what the shell in the Heaven Mandate Temple Honorable Elder's hand signified.

Davis almost couldn't help but laugh when he saw that shell.

Was it supposed to amplify his power?

Nevertheless, his gaze fell on the other Honorable Elder with the luxurious fan in his hand.

'Julian Kruse of the Heaven Gazing Sect... Mhm, he seems to have a respectable reputation...'

Davis lowered his head as his eyes flashed with a crimson light. With the others preoccupied with the two newcomers, they didn't notice his eyes changing colors, but he managed to see all their names and connected them to the intel he received from the All-Seeing Towers.

The powerhouses, the achievements, their titles all interconnected as he came to know almost everything known about them.

This way, even if something untoward were to happen, he could kill them all in a single move.

After all, the number of powerhouses gathered was too much for him. Isabella could take care of them him, but he'd rather not let her encounter danger as they really couldn't afford to offend more. He felt that he had let his intent reach across, and any more killing would probably do him no good but receive more aggression.

The point was to make them stop, but if they couldn't, then he could only kill them again and again. However, he let a buffer build up. Even if a Dragon Family Patriarch comes at this moment, he nor Isabella was scared. Instead, after taking care of that Patriarch, he could successfully make his family retreat before the other Patriarchs show up, but if the Zlatan Family Patriarch ends up dead, would they even show up?

Therefore, no matter who comes from the Dragon Families, what could they do to him?

At this point, he felt like he could escape anytime he wanted with Isabella having his back, not to mention Fallen Heaven. Unless a heavenly tribulation appears, he couldn't see Fallen Heaven disappearing on him again.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse felt embarrassed to be called a crazy diviner in front of everyone present, but he didn't mind the words coming out of restraint freaks.

He instead spoke with a cold expression on his face.

"Now that I left the Poison Lord Villa to Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans, I will have you know that you three Dragon Families can relax at this moment unless the Poison Lord Villa makes a move. I want someone from you three to give me an account of what you're all doing to a married woman, shamelessly l.u.s.ting after her?"

"What!? Of course not!-"

Domitian Family's Grand Elder denied but was quickly interrupted.

"At least, that's what I heard from many people. On the way, I saw many instances of hot pieces of Imagery Stones being sold. I wonder what is that supposed to be then?"

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse narrowed his eyes while Domitian Family Grand Elder's fists trembled, wondering why he had to explain this to this scrawny weak-looking man. However, knowing that the elders of the Heaven Gazing Sect represented the Heaven Gazing Sect no matter where they went and what they did, he clenched his teeth in frustration and spoke.

"We have come to take this woman going by the title Dragon Queen Isabella for questioning her true status and apprehend or kill this man called Davis for killing three of our powerhouses and falsifying identities. While we're at it, we were also eradicating the dark forces of the Poison Lord Villa."

"That's not what happened. Those are the results, and you never spoke about what led to these results...!"

A sudden female voice echoed from below, causing everyone to look under, behind the safe confines of the barrier that was not really safe in front of High-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses as it could still be broken.

How could they be so shameless in wanting to obtain Isabella? At this point, she could clearly see their overbearingness and wrongdoings even if she had some kind of doubts before.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse merely nodded at Sect Master Bing Luli before he turned to look at Davis and Isabella.

"Let me hear your side of the story."

Davis looked at the other party's expression for a few seconds, which appeared quite amicable.

He felt like he could give it a try and opened his mouth.

"The Dragon Families are dominating and overbearing. They would go to any lengths to increase their bloodline quality, and my third wife, Isabella, is what they precisely require to do that. Those shameless bastards deserved death for trying to steal other's wives, so I merely handed them what they truly courted, which is death."

"You lying bastard!" Domitian Family's Grand Elder angrily interjected, "Didn't you just say that you married her recently!? How are we supposed to know that you two were married!?"

"So you accept that your family's intent was to kidnap her if she didn't say yes like you all tried a while ago? Mhm? I still have Blood Thorn, the crippled wicked path Ninth Stage Powerhouse as a witness, you know..."

"You...!" The Domitian Family Grand Elder raged on hearing Davis's threatening words, "Don't you dare twist my words! We didn't do anything like that, and there was no way a wicked path powerhouse would tell the truth! Moreover, you have enslaved him, so you can make him say whatever you want!"

"Heh!"

Davis sneered.

"Leaving that, I also said that I knew Isabella way before you Dragon Families did and was in a mutual relationship of love. At that time, I was weak, unable to go against your Dragon Families, so should I have just stayed silent and let you people take her away? Moreover, being a husband means also being a protector. So what I did wasn't wrong in the slightest. "

"Ridiculous! Enough with the sophistries! You think you can escape by saying such things while you, in reality, mislead us into believing..."

"Believing what?"

Davis scoffed while the Domitian Family's Grand Elder looked like he had eaten shit, refusing to humiliate himself by saying that they had all been fooled, only to end up humiliating himself by staying silent.

Honorable Elder Julian Kruse watched their arguments with a close eye before he looked at the two of them. Since the Poison Mistress and her eighteen powerhouses also looked to be not making a move, he nudged Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans.

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans chuckled before he stepped forwards and asked.

"What are your final statements?"

The Domitian Family's Grand Elder pointed at Davis, his eyes blazing with fiery killing intent.

"He needs to die for his crimes of killing our powerhouses while we're also entitled to have Isabella since her origin and the way she obtained her power is dubious. I suspect that she slaughtered a hidden dragon family to obtain such prowess."

"What!?" Isabella's eyes went wide, her fists trembling at the ridiculousness of that statement.

Davis's expression became cold, "The Dragon Families lies again and again. They're just here to shamelessly kidnap my Isabella, nothing more, nothing less."

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans nodded at the both of them before he smiled.

"Are you two telling the truth?"

His voice sounded persuasive and captivating, causing them to open their mouths at the same time.

"N- No..."

"Yes..."

Both Domitian Family's Grand Elder and Davis found themselves compelled to speak. While Domitian Family's Grand Elder had a humiliated expression on his face, Davis knew that he was being compelled to speak and didn't go against it.

After all, he knew that Clara possessed the same laws, Mandate Laws.

"Ah, we have our answer."

Mihangel Evans smiled as he stepped forwards, his High-Level Law Rune Stage undulations spread like wildfire before he arrived in the middle of the three powers in conflict.

"The Poison Lord Villa retreats, the Dragon Families retreats while this husband and wife stay together and remain alive. If even one of you don't comply, we will be forced to call our Heaven Gazing Sect and Heaven Mandate Temple to enact justice while I will try to hold it out."

The Domitian Family Grand Elder's expression trembled as he didn't expect this Honorable Elder's Mandate Laws to be this powerful. Nevertheless, he still possessed a threatening look in his eyes.

"Don't interfere in someone else's problem."

"What are you going to do about it? Kill me?"

Honorable Elder Mihangel Evans scoffed, his sharp expression becoming amused as he mocked.

Davis appeared pleasantly surprised by this Honorable Elder from the Heaven Mandate Temple. He was about to help this person if necessary when a lazy voice echoed.

"What's happening here? So many powerhouses... Still, did you get your spatial ring stolen, my sweet little girl?"

The expressions of many powerhouses froze as they felt the undulations behind the voice, a feeling of terror encroaching their hearts as if someone had already made them aware of what their fates would be if they messed with him.

"My lord!"

The Poison Mistress's expression lit up, a pure smile emerging on her face as she looked at the pale youth who arrived before her. She lept and embraced him, tightly holding his neck as she felt the soft feeling of his silky purple robe.

"Aha! Let me get it back for you."

The Poison Mistress separated from the Poison Lord as she looked at his handsome face but looked contemplative.

"The spatial ring is also important, but who cares!? You're so slow that my heart was stolen already!"

"What!?

The Poison Lord's expression turned shocked before it turned into one of rage!
