Divine Emperor of Death

Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky was about to pressurize Daniuis Alstreim further when Ancestor Dian Alstreim suddenly interrupted.

"That's all he said to us as well. Now, if you two can please leave before the Conferred Queen or her Protector arrives, it would be much appreciated. Furthermore, if you two let his children return to the Alstreim Family without any harm, he would conceivably be grateful." Ancestor Dian Alstreim vouched.

Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky and Ancestor Tirea Snow frowned. They really didn't have much time left to interrogate.

"I agree to return his children. They are not my concern, and I am not cruel enough to separate them, but I still need to confirm the veracity of his statement." Ancestor Tirea Snow spoke without a change in her tone.

"Revered Ancestor Tirea Snow wants me to make an oath?" Daniuis Alstreim asked.

He intensely looked at them give a slight nod as he felt relieved before he opened his mouth, "I swear to the heavens that what I confessed just a while ago is true to my knowledge! If there were any kind of false information in my confession, then the heavens may smite me, making me incapable of cultivation!"

Daniuis Alstreim's voice sounded strained, and his body was taut as if he brought out every bit of his courage to make this oath. He took a deep breath and stood straight.

"Since I have made an oath, I ask you two Ancestors do the rightful thing on your part."

"Sure!" Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky chuckled at Daniuis Alstreim's pleading eyes. He looked at Dian Alstreim and watched him rub his forehead as if he was soothing his headache that originated from fear.

This made him feel assured that they needed what they needed to know, even though the content wasn't really helpful. It made them completely disappointed, but it was as expected. How could it be so easy to track down the aboriginals or get into the Forsaken Phoenix Realm without hindrance?

If it were so easy, then the Forsaken Phoenix Realm would've been excavated long ago!

However, this event made Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky felt a bit confused.

Would things go this easy? Perhaps, he expected more interference, but nothing happened, and it made him think that something was wrong, but couldn't his place his finger on what was exactly wrong.

He blamed it all on the presence of the Conferred Queen's Protector instead.

On the other hand, Ancestor Tirea Snow felt that she should be more thorough. Even though she nodded her head to release Daniuis Alstreim's children, she knew that she could not rely on an oath that only served to invoke one's heart demon. Heart demons could be removed, and she didn't find it hard to think that Dian Alstreim would help Daniuis Alstreim in resolving his heart demon through various means after they left.

She promptly took out a pure white sheet of paper that had numerous markings etched on to it. Her soul force flared with a snowy haze, and she imprinted something on the white sheet of paper before she displayed it to Daniuis Alstreim.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim's brows narrowed as he instantly stepped in between them.

"What is the meaning of bringing a Blood Soul Contract out? Isn't an oath enough? Besides, isn't this a bit luxurious?"

"Matters regarding 'that' place is always luxurious..." Ancestor Tirea Snow's melodious yet cold voice echoed as she retorted with indifference.

Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky's eyes lit up in understanding.

That's right! An oath can also be broken the moment it was sworn, and they would have no way to confirm it.

He had to admit that he was not thorough with this matter. He hadn't considered bringing a Blood Soul Contract, but seeing that Tirea Snow was more careful, he nodded in appreciation and only felt praise and desire for her.

He looked at Dian Alstreim and supported Tirea Snow, "Beauty Tirea Snow is only making sure that Daniuis Alstreim's words are true. Although the backlash of going against the Blood Soul Contract is heavy, able to cripple, perhaps even kill, it is something that would not activate unless the cultivators who enter the contract go against their words."

"But! Isn't it-"

"Look," Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky interrupted, "The Blood Soul Contract clearly states that both parties have to abide by the conditions stated, and it is clearly advantageous to Daniuis Alstreim since he gets two Ninth Stage Powerhouses to listen to his claims."

"Isn't this advantageous for both of us? After all, I might forget about his children once I return to the Towering Cloud Hall..."

Ancestor Dian Alstreim shot a look of derision before he looked at the Peak-Level King Grade Blood Soul Contract and observed its contents.

[I, Tirea Snow, the Ancestor of the Falling Snow Sect, agree to return Daniuis Alstreim's children by exiling them from the Falling Snow Sect. They will be sent to the Alstreim Family without being imposed any harm. If I fail to do as I've told, it means that I have broken this Blood Soul Contract.]

[I, Xanbas Goldsky, the Ancestor of the Towering Cloud Hall, agree to return Daniuis Alstreim's children by exiling them from the Towering Cloud Hall. They will be sent to the Alstreim Family without being imposed any harm. If I fail to do as I've told, it means that I have broken this Blood Soul Contract.]

[I, Daniuis Alstreim, swear that if the oath I made in the presence of Ancestor Tirea Snow, Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky and Ancestor Dian Alstreim were to break or has already broken, it means that I have broken this Blood Soul Contract.]

"What is this? This isn't what we agreed upon..." Daniuis Alstreim spat out through his clenched teeth.

"You're going to refuse? Could it be that you are still hiding something?" Ancestor Tirea Snow's brows furrowed.

"You... I don't even know what this Blood Soul Contract is..." Daniuis Alstreim looked panicked.

"Then, I'll explain..." Ancestor Tirea Snow quickly sent a soul transmission to Daniuis Alstreim, which made Daniuis Alstreim understand what a Blood Soul Contract is, and how it works in an instant.

The Blood Soul Contract affects all of the parties involved in the contract. It is made so that no one can escape from the Blood Soul Contract unless they can erase the contract's binding from their soul.

Daniuis Alstreim truly didn't know what it was as he never had a use for one, nor was his horizon big enough to know about a Blood Soul Contract, which could only be made by Vow Masters, who had learned Level One Intent of Karma Laws which is a Greater Law.

Also, Peak-Level King Grade Blood Soul Contract doesn't actually exist, as in, they were not being capable of being made. It is the worst kind of Blood Soul Contract since it's basically a low-quality version of the Low-Level Emperor Grade Blood Soul Contract. These are failed products, but they still work on most of the people below the Eighth Stage, even Supreme Soul Stage Experts. For these reasons, they still sell well, and a few top powers get a hold of it whenever they have the chance.

Old Man Garvin also used these to form a contract with women, making them his wives.

"Recite with-"

"Beauty Tirea Snow, wait." Ancestor Xanbas Goldsky interrupted with a rough smile on his face.
