Divine Emperor of Death

"I didn't grow up in the Alstreim Family, so I have little to no respect for you. Besides, you can't just appear and claim you're the Founder. Even if you're the Founder, I don't know your personality or character. There'll be a waiting period before you're allowed inside again."

Davis calmly explained. However, it caused Alstreim Windstorm to appear speechless before he turned to look at Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

"Dian, did you not teach him manners?"

'Tell me about it...'

Ancestor Dian Alstreim inwardly cried as a wry smile emerged on his face. However, he didn't speak against Davis, keeping his mouth shut in front of the Founder.

Davis couldn't help but smile in response, "Ancestor Dian Alstreim might be the one running things here, but I'm the one keeping it together, protecting it from many dangers and threats, and I still recognize you to be a threat, so be cooperative."

Alstreim Windstorm raised his hand and rubbed his chin, appearing fairly amused.

"You talk as though you can suppress me?"

"We can try outside if you want to. After all, if you're the Founder, you wouldn't want to harm the family, would you?"

Davis's lips curved into a provocative smile.

But on the other hand, Ancestor Dian Alstreim panicked. What was Davis saying? The other party was an immortal! Even if he wanted to have this possible threat leave the capital momentarily, couldn't he choose another way instead of laying his own life to get him outside?

But just before he could say anything, he saw Alstreim Windstorm narrow his eyes and look into the distance.

At this moment, an icy-blue-robed woman arrived, seemingly in tow with an absentminded person who struggled, no, raved in mid-air.

"Crimson Starchild…?"

Alstreim Windstorm became shocked and cautious as he identified the raving immortal. However, he noticed that the other party was lacking an immortal aura the next moment, causing him to become dumbfounded.

"Took you long enough..." Davis spoke through soul transmission.

"Mhm, I encountered a Dark Moon Crow Immortal Beast on the way and had a bit of confrontation as it tried to devour the prey."

Myria glanced at Crimson Starchild as she sent a soul transmission to Davis, her voice sounding relaxed.

"Once it saw that it couldn't steal the prey, it left."

"…"

Davis was flabbergasted.

Obviously, Myria had scared that Magical Beast Immortal with her powers.

However, Dark Moon Crow Immortal Beast? Wasn't that Nyoran's race? He couldn't help but feel worried slightly but dealing with Alstreim Windstorm was on his priority list.

As Alstreim Windstorm gawked at Crimson Starchild, formulating his own speculations around Crimson Starchild's miserable plight, he glanced at the white-haired woman beside him, unable to believe his eyes.

Not only was she blindingly beautiful enough to steal his soul at a mere glance, the mortal energy, or rather soul force she was released, although was at the High-Level Emperor Soul Stage, undoubtedly made him feel that she could somehow... match his prowess?

He slightly shook his head, unable to believe his own speculation.

'Even if she has a Supreme Immortal Rune, she's not at the Peak-Level Emperor Soul Stage yet. How could she match an immortal's prowess?'

He thought, knowing that a Supreme Immortal Rune would allow one to raise their prowess to five levels higher but glimpsing at the raving Crimson Starchild who worded out that he lost to two mortals in an unstable manner, he couldn't tell anymore, taking a good look at the so-called Emperor of Death again.

But at this moment, he witnessed the Emperor of Death's soul force surge out of his body, becoming painted with a grayish-black light, one that was filled with an ominous aura that made his eyes twitch in pure shock.

Davis grinned at him, "Whatever level immortal you are, I know you're suppressed here, and I have my ways to subdue a Level One Immortal. It's in your best interest to remain cooperative and follow me."

"You… really… have the capability..."

Founder Alstreim Windstorm shuddered ever so lightly, feeling goosebumps rocking his entire body even though he found it hard to believe.

'Actually, it's Myria who has the capability...' Davis inwardly cackled.

On the other hand, Alstreim Windstorm couldn't believe the extreme prowess of his descendant.

From the sudden surge in the Emperor of Death's prowess, it was obvious to him that it became four levels higher before transforming into five levels higher when he used his death energy. He never thought it would be possible for comprehension of a Law to increase Davis's power like that in the Ninth Stage, making him feel that his comprehension of Death Laws must be quite qualitative.

To comprehend Death Laws itself was an act of meeting with death but to deeply comprehend it… Alstreim Windstorm didn't know what to feel other than boundless excitement, taking a deep breath to calm himself.

"Davis, although you propped the Alstreim Family single-handedly, you can't disrespect the Founder for no reason."

"I know."

"Then, it's good. I believe you."

In the meantime, Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Davis exchanged a soul transmission.

Davis was just about to continue the talks when he abruptly squinted his brows and took out a messaging talisman, letting it play loud as he poured in his energy.

"Emperor of Death, our All-Seeing Towers found that two Immortals have paid a visit to the Heaven Mandate Temple."

The All-Seeing Emperor's voice resounded with excitement, causing Davis to raise his brows.

"What happened?"

"Nothing. The situation seems to be calm so far."

"I see. Keep me updated on their movements and other discoveries. Obviously, these immortals are pouring in from the fringe Territories, so keep an eye on them."

"Yes."

Davis ended the transmission as he kept the messaging talisman back inside and raised his head, staring at Alstreim Windstorm with a blatant smile.

"You heard that. With immortals pouring in one by one, I can't allow my focus to only remain on you."

"I can help."

Alstreim Windstorm deeply smiled, but in truth, he was shocked about this young man using an intelligence department to understand the changes in the world. Such efficiency, no, to even have control over a foreign intelligence department was mind-boggling as he was sure that his Alstreim Family shouldn't have been able to establish an intelligence department as wide as the one Davis got contacted just now.

He knew about the All-Seeing Towers as they existed way before he was born.

However, Davis shook his head in response.

"I do indeed need your help, but not for battling. Instead, I want to know more about the outside world. However, if at all I need help in protecting the Alstreim Family, I'll ask when I truly need it. Until then, as long as you remain cooperative, we promise we'll be hospitable to you. After all, you're the one who established this family, Founder."

"Now you're talking, young man." Alstreim Windstorm nodded with a wide smile, "Lead the way."

Davis raised his brows at the Alstreim Family Founder's co-operativeness, not having expected it although he was demanding it. Nonetheless, as he received co-operation, he gestured to Alstreim Windstorm as he stretched out his hand like a hospitable person.

"Please."

They both nodded and just moved when Davis frowned and took out the messaging talisman again.

"Emperor of Death! Our scouts in the wicked path have spotted two immortals heading towards the Burning Phoenix Ridge Territory! We fear that they are Blood Reaper Underworld and Infernal Lightning Palace's Immortals as they laid waste to the land with blood and lightning amidst their path."

Davis's eyes went wide as he heard All-Seeing Emperor's voice, causing him to gnash his teeth. It wasn't even a minute before he was contacted again.

And this time, it was probably an act of retaliation!

The retaliation came from those two powers he completely decimated. However, instead of targeting him, why did they choose to rush to the Burning Phoenix Ridge!? Because of Lea Weiss!?

"Youngster, let's go, or we won't make it."

*Whoosh!~*

Alstreim Windstorm shot into the distance, seemingly disappearing into the horizon in an instant amidst the stormy breeze that invoked his momentum.

Davis's mouth went agape, wondering why the Founder would rush into the distance for the Burning Phoenix Ridge with utter haste. Could it be that Alstreim Windstorm already knew that the Alstreim Family was in a close alliance with the Burning Phoenix Ridge due to him having its Sect Master as his woman?

He couldn't understand but quickly turned to look at Myria, opening his mouth.

"Will you-"

"No, I have to return to protect the Mystic Ice Sect." Myria narrowed her brows as she interrupted.

"..."
