Divine Emperor of Death

"Aren't you unfair, Dian Alstreim? When we politely sent our people, didn't you send them away with unreasonable and high-handed methods?" A melodious yet icy voice echoed.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim creased his brows as a complex emotion swirled in his heart while his purple eyes reflected the horizon of the skies and the white-robed curvy figure of a veiled woman. He looked at her in a complex way before he moved his lips, but was suddenly interrupted.

"Tirea Snow, I propose we temporarily team up to make Dian Alstreim know that he is in the wrong." A middle-aged man spoke as he stood in mid-air with his hands folded.

He possessed lush black hair that stretched till his neck. The brown-black tight-fitting robes he wore accentuated his built body and muscles. Furthermore, as he looked strong, tall, and attractive, his temperament also matched his brazenness to take the initiative in matters.

"Xanbas Goldsky, if you think you can get away with making me bow my head in my own territory, you are extremely mistaken." Ancestor Dian Alstreim elevated to their altitude and warned the middle-aged man with his intimidating eyes that possessed the flames of a Law Rune Stage Powerhouse!

However, he did not let his guard down as he was well aware that they were the Ancestors of the Towering Cloud Hall and Falling Snow Sect, Xanbas Goldsky, and Tirea Snow.

Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky wasn't backing down either. His martial energy flared, and an enormous pressure descended upon the area, even affecting Ancestor Dian Alstreim and Ancestor Tirea Snow, both alike as it was a difference in their Body Tempering Cultivation! It mostly affected Ancestor Tirea Snow since he Body Tempering Cultivation was less when compared to the Ancestor Dian Alstreim.

"I don't care about the drivel of you two..." Ancestor Tirea Snow interrupted with a frown, "I have business with the one named Daniuis Alstreim. Let me see that young one."

Xanbas Goldsky frowned at being dismissed by a woman, but he still nodded his head and took away his undulations since it was a woman he recognized, "That's right! Let us see that brat Daniuis Alstreim!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim promptly receded his essence energy undulations and smiled, "Of course, as long you two can swear that you won't harm Daniuis Alstreim, I can let you two meet him. How can I let my talented youths of the family be exposed to danger?"

"Dian Alstreim!" Ancestor Tirea Snow's voice turned a notch icy, "You think I would lower myself to harm a junior? Don't test my patience!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim blinked. His expression became complex as he viewed Ancestor Tirea Snow before he inwardly sighed.

"Fine! But I don't believe in Xanbas Goldsky..."

"You!" Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky was about to flare in anger, but he frowned, thinking that he could not waste time or lose face in a contending power's stronghold. He felt that he could only oblige to get their intent across and heard.

Even Tirea Snow had refused to team up with him and turned to stare at him, forcing him to hurry up through her icy blue eyes. Hence, he could only choose the simple yet humiliating way out.

"Fine! As the Ancestor of the Towering Cloud Hall, I swear on my name Xanbas Goldsky that I won't harm Daniuis Alstreim as long as he hadn't done anything harmful to the existence of the Towering Cloud Hall!"

Ancestor Dian Alstreim inwardly frowned as he felt the Xanbas Goldsky was rather smart to put up a vague condition like that?

What and what all not could be considered harmful?

"Heh! I have now sworn the oath that you wanted to hear. Now, take us to that lad, Daniuis Alstreim!" Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky laughed as he inwardly sneered.

Ancestor Tirea Snow had also turned to look at Ancestor Dian Alstreim, urging him to fulfill his end of the bargain.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim took a deep breath before took a step forward to descend. However, a voice echoed, making him stop him in his tracks.

"How lively... Three Ninth Stage Powerhouses other than me have gathered at the same place, although I wonder why they look like they're are planning to storm into my Young Mistress's guest palace? Mhm?"

Everyone turned to look above, but, even before the voice echoed, Davis found out that Ancestor Tirea Snow reacted to him the fastest out of the three Ancestors. The moment he wanted to make a move and not stand still, he was detected by Ancestor Tirea Snow. He creased his brows but knew the answer he needed to know as he felt her soul undulations.

'Peak-Level Supreme Soul Stage...'

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's brows furrowed in doubt as to why Davis would show up at this point with his measly strength but he still bowed and clasped his hand as he slightly bent his waist, "Greetings, Conferred Queen's Protector."

"What's happening?" Davis's deep voice echoed around them.

Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky and Ancestor Tirea Snow frowned. They both knew that the Conferred Queen's Protector is in the Purple Guest Palace, but they didn't know that the Protector would interfere in this matter. They knew that they were on different floors, so they felt that it would be highly unlikely that the Conferred Queen or her Protector would interfere, but contrary to their assumptions, the Conferred Queen's Protector really did interfere.

Ancestor Tirea Snow clasped her hands but didn't even slightly bow, "I am the Ancestor of the Falling Snow Sect, Tirea Snow."

"Likewise, Ancestor of the Towering Cloud Hall, Xanbas Goldsky." Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky frowned as he thought of bringing up the matter of the battle exchange, but he knew that it would be disadvantageous to the current him. He held himself back since he came here for another reason, an important reason which couldn't be revealed to outsiders.

He felt that Dian Alstreim and Tirea Snow also knew this point, so they didn't speak much.

"It's nothing much, Protector. They just want to see Daniuis Alstreim, who's on the fifteenth floor of the Purple Guest Palace." Ancestor Dian Alstreim explained while seeing that the two of them didn't speak up.

His actions made it so that he was defending the other two Ancestors when it was the other way around. He was warning Davis. He imperceptibly warned that Davis should do something to stop them if that is what he came here for...

After all, it is over if Daniuis Alstreim ends up spilling the beans, but this was advantageous to him as well. This way, he could provide Davis and his group the shelter that they needed, making them indebted to him. If it went like this, he could easily diffuse the situation between them and Grand Elder Valdrey Alstreim's group while recruiting them into the Alstreim Family.

So, he inwardly decided to adopt a wait and see attitude.

Xanbas Goldsky inwardly nodded. It was just like he thought where the Conferred Queen's Protector didn't know about Daniuis Alstreim. Ancestor Tirea Snow was relieved as well.

"Oh? That young man who seemed to have been treated like a convict just because he seemed to know some secrets about... perhaps a unique resource?"

Davis chuckled as he panned his gaze over them, "I wonder what kind of treasure attracted the attention of three Ninth Stage Powerhouses? I'm sold... You all have me curious..."
