Divine Emperor of Death
Chapter 675 Delivering The Bride
The poison Keith Ethren was inflicted with was a conditional poison.
Usually, these types of poisons hidden inside healing pills were so minute that he could easily counter it but since the poison had already to his dantian and entered his revolving core, it could be said that he ran out of options to purify the poison.
The invasion of poison was so sudden that he didn't even expect it in the first place as the pill did have medicinal properties, momentarily blinded by it.
Such a hidden mechanism in a pill can only be done by an extremely skilled at least at the level of King Grade Alchemist!
However, the pill being at Low-Level Emperor Grade meant that the Alchemist was at least at the Low-Level Emperor Grade!
'As expected of the Flowing Mist Sect! Rumors had it that it has ties with the Poison Lord Villa!'
'Could it be that this poison is supplied from a Poison Master Alchemist!??' Keith Ethren suddenly realized that this could possible.
Judging by this assumption, he suddenly felt that there could be a large undercurrent brewing in the Alstreim Family Territory, a scheme much grander than he had imagined!
Inwardly, he became extremely scared!
"You can ignore me if you want to but I'm not sure if you will live to see the next day..."
"You!" Keith Ethren opened his eyes and his recovery delayed in speed a bit.
Even then, with his life on the line, he could only ignore his injuries and ask, "I know that the conditional poison activates upon your will since you had probably infused your soul force within the pill as an activation mechanism..."
"Very clever..."
The shadow figure clapped two times with his hand as if he were impressed but the way he did it clearly came off as condescending.
"Indeed, so as long as you don't listen to my words, I guess... you are very clear in how you should behave..."
"Don't go too far! I can always escape with my soul!!" Alexi Ethren clenched his teeth in anger!
"Didn't I say before?" The shadowy figure laughed, "Go ahead!"
Keith Ethren's chest heaved as he almost spat out blood again. To escape with his soul was almost impossible since he knew that his Soul Forging Cultivation should be weaker than this shadow person's Soul Forging Cultivation.
"What do you want me to do?"
Feeling helpless, he finally relented as he gritted his teeth.
The shadowy figure chuckled but inwardly, his mind reveled in ecstasy.
What would happen if the Ethren Empire were to invite a disaster from another territory? It would undoubtedly garner the attention of the Alstreim Family, and not to mention, probably the entire attention of the Alstreim Family since the Conferred Queen's background seemed to at least belong to a family with a bloodline of a dragon!
"Simple, kill the Conferred Queen Isabella no matter what it takes!" He ordered as his echo reverberated around the chamber.
However, at this moment, Keith Ethren's eyes became dull as he abruptly launched himself at the shadowy figure. His speed was tremendously fast that the ecstatic shadow couldn't even react in time!
*Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~*
======
Agis Stirlander stood before the Conferred Queen's residence along with his granddaughter. He had a difficult expression on his face as he looked towards the door.
Just before he left his residence, he had informed that situation to the subordinate of the regional lord and cited that the Third Prince had gone to look for the Alstreim Family to settle the dispute.
The subordinate instantly flinched and knew that this matter was completely out of his hands! He had investigated the undulations of Eighth Stage Experts before reporting it to the regional lord but clearly, anything involving the Conferred Queen or the Alstreim Family was above his pay grade.
He quickly came as he left, causing Agis Stirlander's brows to twitch.
After that, he had informed his son, Natalya's father, Igor Stirlander about the situation. They had already talked about it in these two weeks of family gatherings, so it could be said that they were already prepared.
However, Agis Stirlander had to further explain about how Natalya was safe in the Conferred Queen's residence. So it took him a while before he then went to visit Natalya to finally explain the situation before taking her to this residence.
He turned his face aside and saw his granddaughter have a complex yet excited expression on her face. He couldn't help but inwardly sigh on seeing his stubborn granddaughter have her achieve her goal.
'Sigh... Love does cause one to go blind... '
He walked forwards and lifted his hand to knock on the door but it suddenly opened, causing him to freeze in his tracks.
... because there was no one there...
'As expected of the mighty expert. He instantly noticed before we even knocked on their door...'
Agis Stirlander didn't think that the mighty expert was waiting for him because how could an expert of that caliber just keep waiting for them for a long time?
It just wasn't possible.
"You did well, Agis Stirlander. Now, you can rest assured and leave your granddaughter's safety to me..."
A deep voice echoed, causing Agis Stirlander to slightly flinch. Hearing a voice everywhere around him in broad daylight rather made him think of the myths such as ghosts.
However, he suddenly became unsure if the decision he took was the right one.
If this expert wanted to do something to his granddaughter, then he would have no choice but to believe in Alchemist Davis's love and sincerity towards Natalya.
Agis Stirlander grit his teeth and worked up his courage to ask, "Where is Alchemist Davis Loret? I want to see him and tell him something important face to face..."
"Hahaha! You don't believe me?"
"I don't dare..." Agis Stirlander cast his gaze to the ground, feeling extremely nervous.
"Well, hasn't he been beside your granddaughter the entire time?"
Agis Stirlander became taken aback before he suddenly turned to look back, only to see Alchemist Davis stand beside his granddaughter.
Hearing the voice and looking at her grandfather's gaze, Natalya shot a look towards her side and found Davis. She became stunned for a moment before she almost subconsciously threw herself to him.
Davis smiled at her and winked.
Natalya's lips started quivering as her eyes became moist.
He had done what he said... He had brought her to his home just like he said...
"Agis, you might want to report to the authorities that there are three dead bodies in three different alleyways in this region..."
Agis Stirlander blinked before his expression became ugly, "Assassins!?"
"Yes, they all seemed to target you though..."
"I know... It's a long story." Agis Stirlander sighed and shook his head. Fortunately, there were still experts guarding his residence.
"Do you promise to protect my granddaughter?" His expression became solemn and clenched his teeth as he asked.
Davis's lips widened, "Even if you didn't ask, I will still protect my second wife against no matter who maybe it is... Of course, unless it is my wives bickering with each other..."
Agis Stirlander's expression almost fell as he laughed. He let out a suppressed cough instead and continued with a solemn tone, "You're an honest man. I believe that you'll keep your words..."
He then walked forwards and patted Davis's shoulders, "Wait till marriage... You two will then live a happy life and ascend together in cultivation..."
Agis Stirlander was skeptical as to their honor as a couple since it is also possible that they have done the deed already, but still, that might've been due to the extremely complex desire for each other.
He still wanted them to wait for marriage before starting their life as husband and wife.
But somehow, he felt like he was giving his blessings already.
Davis inwardly felt embarrassed as he heard Agis Stirlander's sincere tone.
Indeed, he and Natalya had done the deed in a moment of loss and heat, however, after that, they had mated like wild beasts whenever he snuck into her residence. It was mostly desire and lust that caused him to do that, so he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
He just silently nodded his head.
