Chapter 2225: who Are You...?

Davis and Lea looked into each other's eyes when the former's lips moved.

"Now then, will you return or come with me to see me kill the Dark Ironroar Palace's Immortal?"

"I know you took the Infernal Lightning Emperor by surprise initially, so I a.s.sume it won't happen again, leading me to become your weakness if I get caught, so I'll obediently return home, husband."

"You're an understanding wife, Lea."

Davis kissed her forehead as he watched her sound gentle and adorable, complimenting her. The stern, cold-faced Sect Master in his mind was nowhere to be seen as she became bashful with her cheeks adopting a red hue of affection, causing his affinity towards her to increase enormously at this moment.

They called each other with endearing terms, only making their love grow unabashedly.

"However, leaving right now is also dangerous as we don't know how many immortals entered the Fifty-Two Territories. Can't have you taken hostage suddenly."

"Mhm~"

Despite what she said before, Lea seemed to be happy to accompany him as the strength he revealed appeared to be more than enough to deal with the immortals who have descended.

Davis scanned with his soul sense if he could find some hidden immortals. However, he only found two, which were the Founder and Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal. However, he didn't drop his guard because he believed that his soul sense wasn't up to par with finding hidden immortals.

Unless they revealed themselves like the Infernal Lightning Palace's Immortal stupidly did upon restoring her body, he wouldn't be able to find them.

'I didn't make enemies with the Dark Ironroar Palace before, but with every meeting, it seems like we are forced to become enemies...'

Davis couldn't help but wonder if this was fate.

At this rate, the only wicked path powers that he wasn't going to wipe out would be the Blooming Pa.s.sion Abode and Myriad Poison Sect. The former had done nothing except try to seduce him once, while the other had helped Evelynn by providing their knowledge for a high price which kept reducing because of his increasing prowess.

Both of these powers seem to know how to survive on dual cultivation and knowledge instead of resorting to violence as the first response as opposed to the views of the wicked path, although he knew that it would be a different story if he had been weaker.

He took out a messaging talisman and relayed a message to his Legion Commander.

"Yotan, sweep the righteous path territories, wicked path territories, and the magical beast territories for the presence of immortals as soon as Myria comes back to the Mystic Ice Sect. However, don't engage with those immortals. Retreat and report to me as soon as you find even a hint of them. Coordinate with the All-Seeing Emperor if need be."

"Understood, Legion Master! Fairy Myria arrived just moments ago, so we'll be on our way!"

An affirmative yet melodic reply emerged from the other side, causing Davis to smirk as he found Ellia to be lying.

He now came to know that she simply lied about her free time to help him.

Nonetheless, with his three legions scouting the territories split into many groups, it wouldn't even take a few hours for them to discover anomalies unless those hidden immortals never even revealed themselves in the first place.

'That would only leave the spirit territories but I guess the Spirit World Barrier won't hold against an immortal, huh...'

Davis felt that it was the only problem left. However, spirits rarely tried to engage with the other regions as they were a closed bunch, so he wondered if they would really make trouble. Power does corrupt or place ambitions in one's heart, after all.

After considering almost everything he could, Davis was about to leave when he turned to look at Founder Alstreim Windstorm, who arrived before him.

Looking at the other party moving slightly stiff, he couldn't help but smile, amused.

"There's no need to be so cautious unless Founder is planning something against me?"

"What? No, no Da- Emperor of Death who. who exactly are you?"

Founder Alstreim Windstorm appeared confused and mortified. To control heavenly lightning was an impossible feat, much less heavenly flames that's sole intent is to purify one's flesh and soul to ashes from the sins they had committed. However, Davis used both from what he had seen, and Davis used it so flawlessly that he didn't know how to react.

Even if one could use it, was it possible to control them that neatly? Without getting their own body injured?

As he scanned Davis's body and saw that only his right hand seemed to be a bit charred from infernal lightning, he couldn't help but gulp.

What kind of feat was that?

Despite the consequences, he asked a question, wanting to deeply know if his descendant was really his descendant.

He waited for Davis's answer in abrupt silence, even the breeze stopping to his horror.

Davis's face was expressionless as his lips moved, "Do you want to test my bloodline? Although it is filled with the Earth Dragon Immortal's Blood, Fire Phoenix Immortal's Blood, Ice Phoenix Immortal's Blood, Blazing Thunderlight Kirin Immortal's Blood, my Alstreim origin would still be rather plain to be seen as that's what makes me human."

"" . .

"Oh, I also have Loret's origin stemming inside me as my father is from the Loret Family, but it still shouldn't make a difference."

What the h.e.l.l? None of them conformed to his ability to use heavenly lightning and heavenly flames except the Blazing Thunderlight Kirin that controlled both fire and lightning but still, even it was not capable of handling heavenly flame and heavenly lightning together, so how come Davis was able to!?

Even before that, how come there were so many bloodlines with conflicting nature existing inside of him!? Especially the Ice Phoenix that's directly against the Fire Phoenix and Blazing Thunderlight Kirin!?

The only possibility he could think of was dual cultivation that allowed yin and yang to become amicable.

'Through one of his wives, as mentioned by Dian? So it's in lower quant.i.ty?'

At least being able to find one answer, Founder Alstreim Windstorm calmed ever so lightly. However, he still hadn't completely relaxed, feeling his heart still beating rapidly.

Nonetheless, he didn't dare to probe more about Davis's secrets, letting it end as all he wanted to know was whether the other party was his descendant or not. After all, he was convinced that there was no way his measly blood out of the extraordinary bloodlines he had seen could surpa.s.s even the most brilliant and powerful mortal of the First Haven World.

Davis saw that Founder Alstreim Windstorm no longer had any questions, causing him to turn around and leave.

"Wait"

However, he heard Founder Alstreim Windstorm's voice calling him, making him stop. He didn't turn around, waiting for that voice to echo again.

"You were guilty of what exactly?"

""

Davis paused for a few seconds before his voice resounded out.

"Letting Lea die in front of me."

""

Amidst the silence, Davis left towards the Dark Ironroar Palace Territory with Lea.

On the other hand, Founder Alstreim Windstorm came to realize that this descendant of his was truly hardcore.

He thought that Davis had violated that woman called Yulia and hence felt guilty or acted like it. It seemed like it was provoking the Infernal Lightning Palace's Immortal into feeling despair. However, she was quick to commit suicide by self-destruction, refusing to be tortured to death.

Most people who made it to the immortal level and climbed up in the levels by themselves were resolute to their way of living as it kept them going, so he wasn't surprised.

However, he was surprised by Davis's answer, coming to know he deeply cared about his women.

Just a while ago, he had seen a bevy of beauties step out with him, some of them even making his eyes widen as their beauties were rather over the top, invoking the covetous desire in a man's nature. Although he didn't bother about his descendant's women, the same couldn't be said about the others in the immortal world.

Realizing Davis's fondness for them and the stern rules he probably set for himself, judging by how he reacted to having just one of his women's avatars die, he recognized this as a fatal weakness, his eyes flas.h.i.+ng with scrutiny as he slowly began to follow him.

The Jade Lotus Valley's Immortal, although dumbfounded, was also deeply intrigued.

Besides, since she wanted some straight answers about the matter between the Shards and the Jade Lotus Valley that she hadn't gotten from him yet, she pursued him, appearing beside Founder Alstreim Windstorm while carrying Ivy Aries and Jade Lotus Valley as they looked at each other, noticing the intense curiosity as well as a faint hint of excitement in their eyes to see what the Emperor of Death would inflict upon the Dark Ironroar Palace Immortal!

*Bang!~*

"Stop!"

Three figures floated in the air as they shot out of a palace, breaking the hard ceiling that could even defend against the onslaught of many Peak-Level Ninth Stage Powerhouses.

Nonetheless, one of them had their hand reached out towards their side, simply in control of a black-robed person who trembled ever so lightly.

The captured black-robed person wore a dark mask, similar to what the man on the other side wore.

Both black-robed men had their gazes transfixed on the white-robed woman, her facial features draped by a white veil. However, the symbol and the alchemist robe she wore clearly depicted her background.

The black-robed man on the opposite side inclined his head, staring at the woman with a crimson light in his eyes.

"My Dark Ironroar Palace has never offended you nor your Glorious Pill Palace, as I seem to hear. Why would you take my power's Emperor hostage?"

"Why?" The Glorious Pill Palace's Immortal sounded amused, "Because-"

However, her eyes narrowed as she turned to look into the distance.

"Oh? Emperor of Death, I didn't expect you to arrive here."

She confusedly uttered, looking at a purple-robed man quickly arriving within the airs.p.a.ce of the Dark Ironroar Immortal Palace. Moreover, he brought a woman with him?

Her lips couldn't help but uncontrollably twitch.
